• They do bad things because they’re scared.
• They’re gullible or misinformed. Example: somebody who has been told the heroes are out to hurt them.
• They are desperate for interaction, validation, kindness, or attention, and the dark side gives them those things. 
• They want to change their allegiance, but are pressured by people close to them to stay evil.
• They have an otherwise noble goal that they will do literally anything to achieve. Example: somebody who wants to protect their child, even if it means throwing other children into danger.

That last one…my favourite…

Right so today in class my math teacher, a human who is taller than our door and probably more awkward than it, casually mentioned how he isn’t married and how he never really felt attraction to any gender.
So a pan girl in my class puts up her hand and asks if he was Asexual.
One confused state and three queer people explanations later…
HE WAS BEYOND EXCITED TO FIND OUT THAT HE WAS VALID AND SEEN AS AN ACTAUL HUMAN TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY.
I shit you not.
My way too tall and way too smart and way too dorky and way too awkward maths teacher lived his entire life thinking that he was strange and abnormal for not feeling any attraction to anyone.
And a class of insane grade elevens changed that.

Awhile back I was explaining asexuality to my therapist and at some point she just like froze and was like ‘wait… maybe i’m asexual’ and got really excited and said she was gonna do more research on it herself. Which was not at all what I was expecting to happen when I told my therapist I was ace, but it was def a happy surprise.

EDIT: 

i just realized i had originally meant to reblog this to my main, whoops! but i guess it goes okay here too lol

Reblog to help an ace figure themselves out.

When I came out to my mom as ace, she tried to convince me that that’s just how everyone felt, and no one really felt sexual attraction like they always suggest in media or movies, and it took a while of explaining but eventually she started understanding that sex wasn’t some compulsory thing humans had to do and other people did experience attraction. Turns out she thought she was broken for her entire life until she found out what being asexual was, and she’s so much happier now.

You know, I’ve tried writing material where the number of bisexual and gay characters present matches up with real-world demographics, but even that’s apparently enough to get folks passive-aggressively going “wow, is anyone in this setting straight?”, so basically my answer from now on is “no, not a single person in this setting is straight”.

When a room has 30% women in it, men think it’s 50-50. When it is 50-50, they think they’re outnumbered. Just one of the fascinating statistics on how people perceive gender balance, says Laura Bates.

…When a story has 5-10% not-straight people in it, a lot of straight people think “the gays are taking over.”

Let the gays take over

the first time EVER scientists managed to spot a pair of deep sea octopi mating it turned out to be 1. two males and 2. two males of different species 3. the much smaller octopus was clearly topping. neither of the octopi showed any sign of distress, so they clearly were into it, and octopi are too smart not to know what they were doing. source

the animal kingdom is a lot gayer than people want you to believe.

everything is a lot gayer than people want you to believe.
