stripping completely naked to keep her attention while I infodump about ants
sorry babe we will not be having sex until I explain the difficulties in raising a colony of Formica rufa ants I don’t care how hard you are right now
Put your clothes back on and start infodumping right now. I’m invested
no I’m not putting my clothes back on
anyway did you know that ants actually invented agriculture millions of years before humans did
wait they what???????
okay so leafcutter ants don’t actually eat leaves. they bring them back to the colony, chew them up into leaf beds, and then plant a special species of fungus on them!!! they then tend, grow, and harvest the fungus and use that to feed the colony. on nuptial flights, new queen ants take a small piece of fungus with them to plant in their new colonies. they’ve been doing this for so long that the fungus has evolved to where it can’t reproduce on its own, and produces extra large and extra nutritious bulbs for the ants to eat! similar to the human process of selective breeding but slower and less extreme. here’s a time lapse of leafcutter ants growing their fungus gardens!
One of the many stupid feelings humans are capable of having is the private, repulsive rage of seeing someone getting support and sympathy for a problem no one helped you with when you were having it, either because you didn’t have anyone or because it never occurred to you that you could ask for help. Suddenly the world seems to split into two – the realm that contains people like them, the connected and loved – and the realm that contains you, the miserable and the alone, who must suffer in solitude. This is sufficiently horrible that you grasp for reasons or world-understandings to make this reality acceptable, and a mentally available one is that it is superior to be in the miserable solitude realm, that the problem is one that should be solved with self sufficiency and dignity. That this other person is pathetic for being aided and loved when you were not. Scorn is more palatable than confronting the notion that you could have received aid (if you had made different choices or been luckier), that you desperately wish you could have been aided but were not. Scorn is more palatable than the howling hunger for things to have been different for you. So your mind chooses scorn.
It is also a bad place to be. Human existence is full of such traps.
Thing is is, as much m/f that is produced in the world, as a bi woman, sometimes I want to see a man fall in love with an obviously queer woman. I want to see a man realizing that the woman he is interested in is gnc and that isn’t going to change.
And women fall for GNC men! I want women who are enamored with their soft queer lover.
I want to see masc/masc and fem/fem m/f ships. Wlm and mlw can and should be queer in media.
You know what, Im seeing my own post again and wanna say…. I wanna see queer makeover scenes and I wanna see the love interest gush.
I want the nerdy conservatively dressed girl bestfriend get her hair done and her fancy clothes on and she appears in a pressed suit. And I want the love interest to loose his breath because she’s so handsome in a bow tie and slacks.
I want the guy in a skirt or a dress, I want his love interest so blown away by the way his nylons look.

The worst part about having mental health issues is that you’re seemingly required to have a breakdown in order for people to understand how hard you were trying to hold yourself together.
