The erasure and othering that’s directed towards bisexual people
is so incredibly pervasive though?? Like… I have been out as a bisexual woman
for well over a decade. I’m a proper grownup who is completely confident in my
own sexuality and I still think of
myself as being entirely separate from the LGBTQIA+ community the vast majority
of the time. Sometimes people make comments about allies and part of my brain
is like ‘gosh I hope I don’t do that’ swiftly followed by ‘NO WAIT THIS IS YOUR
COMMUNITY TOO, YOU NUMPTY, THE B IS FOR YOU’ and I just

I’m glad that the LGBTQIA+ community is more
welcoming towards bisexuals than it used to be, but I suppose it’s difficult to
unlearn years and years of being explicitly told that I don’t belong.

I really hope it’s something that future generations of
bisexuals don’t have to deal with.

He is, however, perfectly willing to fuck with time and reality.

And also steal your infants.

He didn’t steal anything. She literally asked him to take the baby. Don’t make him the bad guy just because she was a shitty sister.

I think you are severely misinformed as to how baby ownership works.

It was not her baby to give.

David Bowie is unquestionably the villain.

Which do you think existed first, modern custody legislature, or the goblin king? 

The girl was entrusted by her parents with the care and custody of the child. By the laws governing the goblin king and his transactions, the girl was the current rightful owner of the child and made a deal with the king to take the child. Perhaps you’re not familiar with english folklore. Fae have rules, they’re tricksters, they can be sneaky, but they never break the rules.

Slammin’ it down in the Labyrinth fandom tonight, kids.

Wait a minute, though, you don’t need modern custody legislation to say that it wasn’t her baby to give away. I’m pretty sure that throughout human history parents have distinguished between “Watch this baby for a minute” and “This baby is yours now, do as you will with it, feel free to trade it to goblins or whatever.”

“Who is ultimately responsible for this infant?” is probably one of the first things we answered as a species.

also JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ASKS YOU TO DO SOMETHING SHITTY DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE JUSTIFIED IN DOING IT WHAT THE HELL.  making rules about how to take advantage of people doesn’t mean you’re suddenly A Good Guy if you follow them.  Conscientiously giving people what they ask for when you KNOW it’s not actually what they want (or what’s good for them) is one of the definitions of villainy, IMO.*

*Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. 

Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels. 

Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. 

Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. 

Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. 

Elves are terrific. They beget terror. 

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. 

No one ever said elves are nice. 

Elves are bad.
