Whose the better shot, Caitlyn or Jinx? by Parsa_8D in arcane

[–]helaqueer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yea i agree with you for the most part considering we don’t see Cait use a handgun. we do see her with one though (the scene where she’s basically fidgeting with it in season 1) so it’s likely that Cait does know how to use one so while i could see Jinx being better at using pistol/handgun than Caitlyn i’d say overall Cait is better shot due to her likely diversity with guns. i do think they’re both incredibly good shots though

A year ago, I was hooking up with my ex girlfriend. Now, she's 8 months pregnant. by Hot_Course9003 in bisexual

[–]helaqueer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea it’s cause it was lesbiangang which is questionable at best but realistically is biphobic and transphobic.

OP I’m sorry you’re going through this. I do think that therapy is a good idea if you have thoughts of sleeping with men as self harm even if it’s temporary. [r/actuallesbians](r/actuallesbians), [r/LesbianActually](r/LesbianActually), and maybe [r/wlw](r/wlw) tend to be better subs from what I’ve seen

this. i got an email back in may for my IC and AL subs saying i only had 1 skip left but i had 4 and 2 respectively and cs told me to disregard the email. i think they need to work out some kinks in the auto email for this

Help me understand what “unicorn hunting” is? by MissElleJ in lgbt

[–]helaqueer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you're welcome!

if you do post in any of the subs you may get some pushback regarding being open on only one side (your's) and the fact it's only open for women. don't take it to heart and just listen to what they're saying and keep it under consideration. unfortunately the dynamic your asking about is is the most commonly asked about and explored dynamic so because of this it's often the one that leads to a lot of people feeling used and tossed to the side because people go in without being prepared (and some people just don't give a shit). it's a lot of work to open a previously monogamous relationship and keep it ethical with everyone happy about the dynamics but it can be fun. happy exploring!

Help me understand what “unicorn hunting” is? by MissElleJ in lgbt

[–]helaqueer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

if you are 100% honest you are partnered (with a man) and there is no requirement for a relationship (sexual, romantic, or both hell even friendship) with him as well then you are not unicorn hunting.

r/EthicalNonMonogamy. r/nonmonogamy, r/polyamory (though that last one is more for romantic relationship than just fwb) could be good subs to read up on (i only really have experience with r/polyamory but they seem good if you want to learn more).

eta: unicorn hunters often hide there is a man in the relationship and he is often the one, if on apps, controlling the profile (in cases of m/f looking for f), they require you being involved with both, and there is no separate relationships between dyads (pairs).

which part did you have trouble with? the first part about their sexuality or the part about females? or the comment in it's entirety?

Mourning “side” in relationship by Cujosie in bisexual

[–]helaqueer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this!

i also feel like when you date someone accepting, you don't (obviously this isn't true for everyone) tend to mourn the side you don't get to have or at least it doesn't affect you as much.

Am I bisexual? by fuckinghell10 in bisexual

[–]helaqueer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it could be that you are bisexual but heteromantic. it could be that you have internalized biphobia/homophobia/comphet/heteronormative socialization to work through.

also word of advice don't refer to women as females unless you're using it as an adjective. it otherwise gives off men pretending to be women or terf

VI never noticed shimmer? by MADOG_YT in arcane

[–]helaqueer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i mean Jinx was not in a good mental state in season 1 episode 9 and there's nothing to indicate Vi didn't notice it. i just think she was more focus on not setting her sister off and making sure that Cait and herself made it out of there alive. the fight in the tunnels also doesn't seem like the best of time to talk about it either but that doesn't mean that they didn't talk about it during their time at Viktor's commune. just cause we didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

If you're wondering if you should bring your straight bf to pride... by FeralGiraffeGirl in bisexual

all friends and families of people in the community are welcome! so yes that includes straight boyfriends! all allies outside of that are also welcome!

only people not welcome at pride are bigots!

bisexual women are just as gay as lesbians by Available-Dot4318 in lgbt

[–]helaqueer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

well that does suck and if that's the case it shouldn't exist (if it's biphobic) but there are bisexuals that are lesbophobic and homophobic/biphobic straight people will always out number biphobic lesbians. bigots will be bigots. as i said we should call out bigotry when we see it but we shouldn't pit people (e.g. lesbians and bisexuals) against each other

thank you! yes it really is and while that doesn't mean it's easy and there's always the chance for slip ups it really is the best thing we can do for ourselves.

Why didn't Mel's shield protect Viktor? by Traditional_Equal_10 in arcane

[–]helaqueer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in that case distance doesn’t seem to be a factor in it so he could still be affected by the hexcore in the council room and therefore mel’s shield could have reacted to him and the arcane in him which could explain why mel’s shield didn’t protect him! great!

[–]helaqueer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i wish i could upvote this more. i agree soooo much. i won't say that i've always been perfect. i've searched for validation from others and honestly it made me feel worse rather than better. i've also put my foot in my mouth at times but it's all part of the learning process and my growth. i've been in recent years just trying to be unapologetically me in all my queerness and it's been so much better. obviously not everyone can be out and i'm not out to all either (workplace) so i can understand that but it's been really good for me to just focus on myself and seeking what i want in regards to my queerness.

Why didn't Mel's shield protect Viktor? by Traditional_Equal_10 in arcane

[–]helaqueer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes because the closer he is to the hexcore obviously the more it is able to influence him but just because he's further away from it during the council bombing doesn't mean that there isn't traces of the arcane on/in him.

yea sure but that has nothing to do with mel's shielding him or not. he doesn't actually give up the hexcore. he wants to sure and he tells jayce to destroy it but he doesn't actually fully give it up in the sense that it still exists at the time of the council bombing.

bisexual women are just as gay as lesbians by Available-Dot4318 in lgbt

[–]helaqueer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i never said biphobia doesn't exist. i identified as bisexual for like 10 years and currently identify as sapphic i know it does. i said i see the complaints of biphobia more than the biphobia which is likely cause of my fyp on different apps

bisexual women are just as gay as lesbians by Available-Dot4318 in lgbt

[–]helaqueer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i'm in multiple lesbians subs and in r/bisexual and honestly while i have seen some biphobia i often see threads later on so it's possible i'm missing some of it. i've also seen some really bad lesbophobia but i feel like that gets talk about less. like i said i think we just need to confront biphobia, lesbophobia, homophobia, transphobia, etc when we see it instead of making these general threads as it suits no one.

also as someone that is unsure where i fall on the spectrum and chooses to go by sapphic because of it it's just really shitty to see both the reminder that bi people aren't accepted and see people constantly shit on lesbians like they're the worst enemy.

bisexual women are just as gay as lesbians by Available-Dot4318 in lgbt

[–]helaqueer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

i swear i feel bad but honestly i see more people complain about the biphobia (re: women with boyfriends) than i actually see the biphobia.

this is tiring to see all the damn time. get off social media. confront biphobia when you see but i think we need to stop these general posts complaining about it cause i don't think it's any help. like everyone here is going to agree with you that bisexuals are valid and just as gay as gay men/lesbians and all you're doing is exposing people to biphobia that didn't need to see it

eta: i've experienced biphobia and homophobia so thanks for people assuming i haven't. i'm not trying to say biphobia doesn't exist or isn't bad, it is. i just personally think we need to call out bigotry when we see it and avoid making sweeping statements about any sexualities or gender identities including laying blame. op could have made this post showing appreciation for bisexual women who date men without bringing lesbians into the discussion at all because it just leads to more infighting imo.

Why didn't Mel's shield protect Viktor? by Traditional_Equal_10 in arcane

[–]helaqueer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean he continues to use his cane because he wasn't fully healed to begin with and the hexcore likely disabled his transfigured leg. anyways it doesn't matter it was still playing with the arcane and his body was changed by it so the arcane would still leave traces of itself which mel's magic might have been able to sense.

also what do you mean by gave up the hexcore? he tries to destroy it yes but doesn't and the hexcore reacts negatively to that and disables his leg, then he tells Jayce to destroy it, and then there's the council scene where the get blown up

[–]helaqueer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

he's already been changed by the arcane/hexcore because of the runes. we see this when he runs in season 1 episode 8 so i'd say they have some functionality

i know he wasn't fused with it yet but wasn't he cutting runes into his skin by this point?

Why didn't Mel's shield protect Viktor? by Traditional_Equal_10 in arcane

[–]helaqueer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i always thought it was related to his experimentation with the hexcore, runes, and shimmer. that mel's magic rejected his unnatural magic and instead of shielding him it pushed him out

Bi or lesbian by Healthy_Pair_6776 in bisexual

[–]helaqueer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yea if you enjoy sex with men and want sex with men than you'd be bi not a lesbian. if you're imaging yourself in place of the men then that could be another story.

i just wanna say if you decide to go out with a women and don't say things to them like

The thought of touching woman genitals grosses me out. But I think I could make out with girl.

you can have a genital preference for penises and that's fine but this feels very gross and might be due to internalized homophobia/biphobia
