LGBTQ+ Megathread & Lounge (Part 3)

Yesterday, I went to a small pride event where I was given a grocery tote bag. I showed it to my dad and I was like “Look! It says ‘Neighboring City’ Pride.” He doesn’t really know about lgbt stuff and pride so he goes "NO! ‘Our City’ Pride :triumph: "

I thought it was kind funny. Accidental ally type thing, lol :sob:

Why would you say this?

So the creator of sailor Moon said that tuxedo mask has earths sailor crystal within him. But that he doesn’t get a sailor form because she believes only women can be sailor senshi.

But that would mean he has the female sailor crystal within him. Wouldn’t that technically make him trans?

I actually had to look this up and… this has been ongoing since 2015?!

Not necessarily, from what I’ve read up on, he’s still a guardian, just specifically not a sailor guardian. It’s certainly a thought experiment…

Because that is what pink is?

Both Orange and Pink are variants of the color Red.

The color Orange doesn’t show up in the english language until the fruit of the same name shows up in the English speaking “world”, this is also why people with orange tinted hair are often called redheads because originally that was the word used for that color.

Pink being derived from Red I don’t know the origin of, however it was originally considered a masculine color and pink for boys was a common concept. Blue was originally considered a feminine color and associated with girls. No, I don’t know why the two colors flipped associations.

Orange is just another word for light brown.
:dracthyr_nervous_animated:

Yes, but if all sailor senshi are female, and the thing that empowers the senshi is the sailor crystal, and the sailor crystal is inside him, is he not a female soul embodying an otherwise male body?

Like you said, interesting thought exercise.


Anyway, sister and I adopted 2 new fluffballs today. Only have pictures the lady we got them from had, as they’re in their “Hide and pretend we didn’t just get kidnapped” phase, (they’re in my chihuahua’s old house though, so they’re warm and cozy at least)


Say hello to (tentatively) Luna and Ari (Artemis, as well as a tribute to my mom, kARIn)

Luna’s been the only one to leave the cat carrier and explore so far, we had to unfortunately manually get Ari and put him in the pet bed/house, cause they went potty in the carrier and we didn’t want him to sit in his mess for hours.

well if you wanna go the dub route, sailor starlights in the dub were men turned itno women when they transformed and takeuchi (creator) said she didn’t like this as the guardians were women only

they prolly wanted to somehow knock off lesbian understones since seiya (one the starlights) likes usagi and i think they kiss. also don’t forget the whole haruka and michiru (uranus and neptune) being “cousins” in america when they were really a lesbian couple lol…also i think haruka kissed usagi at one point too so yea.
lots of girl love which most choices are better than useless mamoru/tuxedo mask. dudes useless.

Yea, it’s widely believed that’s why season 5 was never dubbed. (Until like 2 years ago, that is)

It’s also why the anime was cancelled. The creator said she didn’t like they turned minor characters into major characters on top of the male thing, so she didn’t give permission to make more.

Not really.

Trans has to do with your identity. If he was assigned male, and identifies as male. He’s male. Even if there is a magic crystal in him.

Awww, such cuties :heart_eyes:

Speaking of which, I found an old photo of Snowy, one of my cats, having a nap on the bed one time when I thought to give my sheets a wash. Around also when I got him too.

Weeeelll, kinda. It’s really the other way around. Brown is really just dark orange. Brown doesn’t really exist as a part of the visible spectrum. It’s actually orange (more often referred to as amber in lighting-focused applications) with very low saturation.

Why, yes, theatrical lighting is my profession and yes, I am a huge nerd.

That’s actually really cool! Do you do plays? Movies? TV shows? I’m very curious what your venue is!

Yes! :smile: Right now I’m over a thousand miles away from home for two back-to-back productions of Music Man and Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore. I do mostly opera, dance, and musical theater, with some drama, bands, comedians, and of other varieties of performance throughout the year. I’ve done various television and film work over the years, but it’s honestly not my favorite and I prefer to stick with live theater in performing arts theaters.
