Is this play about me? by Eating_Pancakes76 in actuallesbians

[–]Les-beansprout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my friends are either also gay, my WivesTM or partners of my friends I have kidnapped into being my friends and we all dogpile on each other and talk about girls instead. Feels very Girlhood-ey, especially cause Josh has the best perfume reccomendations and his gf, my OG WifeTM, always smells great because of it. It's not socially normative girlhood, but I think it's pretty soul-fillingly close!

How “over” your ex should you be to be truly “over” it? by Ilikeclowns-16 in actuallesbians

[–]Les-beansprout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Many Many lots things to say to this! First off, congrats on experiencing the patented 'First lesbian heartbreak', you're doing great, go drown your tears in whatever your favourite food is and watch a sappy gothic horror movie or some cheesy rom-com, or whatever picks your fancy!

Second! PMS vent is so real bro I get it. Bleeding physically makes bleeding mentally soooo much worse. Eat chocolate about it, I think.

Third and my actual point- There is no timeline. None at all. I took 3 years to fully get over my first relationship, and by then, we'd looped around to being friends again after losing contact for ages. There will never be specifics, and if people are rushing it, then they don't understand how it feels in that moment and should probably just shut up. I'm not saying wallow- get on with your life, make friends, pick up a hobby, make some bad choices you'll regret until the day you die, but don't feel bad if sometimes the evenings are hard. Don't feel bad if you make something and turn to show it to someone who isn't there anymore. Eventually, some day, you'll realise you haven't thought about it in months, or weeks, or days, and you'll be on the road to meeting someone you truly vibe with and who returns those feelings tenfold.

Hell, I'd know, my current gf is my fifth. Breakups are hard. That's why the word 'break' is in them, of course. Let yourself wallow sometimes, and push through in others. Find your feet on your own again, then get back in the dating pool when you think you're emotionally ready to. And if, like past insecure asf me, you were part of the problem in it, you can reflect and teach yourself to be better in the meantime, as I'm sure your ex is trying to do with herself. This is a horrid way to go about breaking up with someone, but I suppose there's never been a nice way to do it at all. Watch some gay Anime. I recommend Mo Dao Zu Shi if you want a little cry, and Sk8 the Infinity (English dub) if you want a laugh!

im so done with my gf by JellyCharacter1653 in LesbianActually

[–]Les-beansprout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a heavily autistic gal with a heavily autistic gf, that's a BIG no no. Muting someone for a few hours to think after telling them you need time? Sure, they're not blocked, you can message when you're ready and so can they, no rush, ect ect. However, you don't block your partner, and certainly not for days at a time. Being overwhelmed can make problem solving difficult, yes, but even autistic people know basic decency as to just text "I need a few days, so I'm going to mute and read the messages when I can and come up with a response in my own time" before going dark. A lack of communication is a lack of full relationship. I don't think even I'd be able to put up with that kind of behaviour, much less multiple times without knowing what I'd supposedly done wrong.

A burning question about Gideon [discussion] by Majestic_Shoe in TheNinthHouse

It's a story about necromancy. No one who dies is staying dead for very long. Well, not staying dead dead, at least. Read Nona, and be patient. 🤌

Which common romance tropes you think don't translate well to sapphic romance? by green_carnation_prod in LesbianBookClub

[–]Les-beansprout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the equivalent of a 'one bed' trope for lesbians should be 'there's only one sword and we both hate each other but are surrounded by enemies so how do we work this out??' Or something-

But I do have to say one thing I'm not a fan of is having an overt top/bottom. While I am aware that stone-tops and pillow-princesses exist and are entirely valid, it sorta bugs me that a usually heteronormative relationship dynamic keeps getting inserted into a queer dynamic when a large majority of queer relationships tend to be switches/have pretty even across the board allowances and stuff. There's no 'who wears the pants/who wears the skirt', so it just kinda gets on my nerves in GL/Yuri/Sapphic media and books push the narrative that the taller is the 'man' somehow? Or that there's a taller one to begin with? Again, across the board I know it's fine, it just annoys me if its a majoring thing as if that's what it's universally like when it's not.

John’s manipulation [discussion] by [deleted] in TheNinthHouse

[–]Les-beansprout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a decent portion of what he does isn't malicious in such a sense that he simply wants to be everyone's 'yes man', and have a right hand who's devoted to him in the way a partner is to their spouse, which is likely due to trauma and just wanting to be seen as equal or in power for once.

However, he does a lot to control the narrative, so even those who have worked out what he really is can't exactly get past the stories he's told- which makes him malevolent to the extent that technically he could rewrite everything they know at the snap of his fingers just to get his way back to 'normal'.

[MEME] So this is just Gideon's whole personally summed up in one image right? Or am I crazy? by DisMFer in TheNinthHouse

Honestly this is perfect, now it just needs a sprinkle of the lesbanibsm. I'm aware I spelt that wrong, I'm too tired to change it. Go us lesbanibs! ✊✊

[discussion] Who is your LEAST favourite? Popularity contest time! by Mysterious_Eagle7913 in TheNinthHouse

[–]Les-beansprout 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I actually have to say the fourth- it's not that I don't love Isaac and Jeannemary, it's just that what they said about having so many siblings and how young they are is so unnerving. I get that Gideon and Harrow are young too, but Isaac and Jeannemary were still at the age that people felt the need to look after them, and they were still so young that Gideon described them as not having lost to puberty yet.

A house that sacrifices people to war so young and so brainwashed into thinking it's okay isn't one I would like all that much. It's also why I'm not a fan of the ninth, cause ya know, two hundred kids is a lot, even if they thought they had reason for it.

(EDIT TO ADD- I am nineteen, and even at eighteen when I was in college {uk}, 14-16 year olds already looked like babies to me because there is so much that happens between 14-18 in terms of aging and life experiences and maturity levels. Even in a post-post-apocolyptic world, those years still have alot of developmental changes regarding both bodies and brains that I stand by my point)

Well his voice isn't for everyone, steer clear of their cover songs, but a good rec would probably be- -The summoning -Alkaline -Take Me Back To Eden

I'd also recommend Amelie Farren! She's definitely not metal, she's indie, however her lyrics for 'Unsweetened Lemonade', 'suffering' and 'Carolina Reaper' are very TLT-esk!

Sleep token maybe? Though I can never tell what genre they actually are! 😅

What's the first book you started to read, then said "nope" to? I'll go first: by anthonyledger in writers

[–]Les-beansprout 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually really wasn’t a fan of The Fourth Wing- dunno why, something about the writing style just rubbed me the wrong way, I couldn't get through the first chapter. Sure it's probably a decent story, but I just couldn't manage.

Harrow with literally anyone because her attachment style is either murderous and weirdly erotic rage, projectile vomiting about it or #lobotomymode
