the bi community has a beautiful history and our community is big and strong. however i’ve noticed we lack terms for bi men, terms that are ours and not stolen from other communities. this post is based on this one, that explains the terms doe and stag.
knight – a knight is a man who performs their masculinity as typically masculine. like a fantasy knight, they use their strength and size to present and protect, their masculinity is connected to the common idea of a masculine man, as they perform it for their partners, specially for men.
mage – a mage is a man who performs his masculinity as typically feminine. like a fantasy mage, they uses their magic to protect and present, in form of makeup, feminine clothes and overall feminity. their masculinity is connected to the idea of feminity and they perform it to their partners, normally men.
this identities are restricted to bi men, and you are more than welcome to add to it and mix and match!!
truscum, terfs and transmed don’t touch
Okay, I’m outright jealous that bi men get these awesome fantasy terms while gay men get outright furry terms. Bears, Otters, Bulls ect…
Is this a new term? Can I suggest you add Rogue to the list? Maybe Ranger?
absolutely! what does rogue and ranger mean?
also i love the terms for gay men! they’re so nice and historical and beautiful.
I don’t know I was just throwing them out there because I’m a DnD fan and I’d like to see a full party. A Knight and Mage alone makes for a poor party. Maybe a Ranger could act Ambiguously bi while a Rogue switches in between acting feminine and masculine.
Now, as a guy that looks a lot like this:
I assume that makes me a rogue, because my presentation is a mismatched fuckery of feminine and masculine, because I also often look like this:
A werewolf film written by a woman wouldn’t be as interesting because they know how unrealistic it is to be caught by surprise by something that happens regularly every damn month.
And then there’s that werewolf who goes three full moons without transforming, then transforms one night during a waxing crescent moon.
Now I’m imagining some on the werewolf form of the pill and having to regularly keep up their schedule and one werewolf telling another that they used to have such irregular changes but the pill now makes things so much easier and the other werewolves being like oh man I should talk to my doctor about this.
All i imagined is some poor fucker that’s like “you think you have it bad. I got my first change at 9 and change sporadically every 4 months or so. For 2 weeks. Sometimes it happens randomly so i just gave up.”
Wake up pissed and agitated with a headache and slam some aspirin with no real thought to the matter because it must just be a shit day. Halfway through the day they just “…oh shit that explains so much fuck fuck fuck”

I don’t usually reblog stuff, but this is just golden.
#these tags come back to my dash every now and then and y’all I am so proud of them you don’t even /know/ #I was so tired that night I almost didn’t even write them but then I was like ‘no for real though we all know how this would go’ #wolves written by people who have actually dealt with these kinds of problems would be faaar more interesting #wolves who were malnourished as children and now don’t always shift when they should because sometimes their bodies can’t support it #wolves who make it to unreasonable ages without their bodies pulling the plug–their first century’s looming on the horizon #and still every month like clockwork they rip and rend and bleed and their grandchildren are terrified this is the future they’ll inherit #wolves who spend a day with their heads in a ghirardelli box trying just to inhale the scent #because they know if they eat the chocolates they’ll be sick but god they want them /so bad/ #wolves who splurge on steak and fresh spinach and glare at anyone who side-eyes them while they shovel it in #they need iron dammit and anyway you have no idea what they’ve gone through these past couple days buddy you wanna stare a little harder? #wolves who get hella irritable vs wolves who become unbearably anxious vs wolves who just wanna stay in bed and cuddle forever #I have so many thoughts about this and maybe I shouldn’t babble about it constantly but fuck it I refuse to let the boring werewolves stand (more tags via @ereborne )
terrifying your own child into submission makes you an abuser.
watching your child cry and screaming at them to stop and invalidating their pain and reasons for crying makes you an abuser.
staring at your child in disgust and contempt after they displease you makes you an abuser.
threatening to your child to take away their basic resources if they don’t give you exactly what you want makes you an abuser.
forcing your child to feel ashamed for not living up to your ideals makes you an abuser.
using slurs, hateful names and insults on your own child without any regard to what it does to their mental health makes you an abuser.
forcing your child to chase impossible expectations and making them feel like they’re worthless for not achieving them makes you an abuser.
acting like your child is a burden and a waste of space and blaming their illness/disability/depression on it makes you an abuser.
behaving like your child will never amount to anything and isn’t worth any resources and nurturing makes you an abuser.
making your child feel like they’re never good enough makes you an abuser.
if your child’s heart is hurting because they know no matter what they do and how hard they try they will always be a failure in your eyes, you are an abuser.
if your child can’t look at themselves without self hatred because they had to look at themselves from your perspective and all they saw is disgust and hatred, you’re an abuser.
If your child is struggling to believe they have the right to live and to be cared and loved, if they can’t stop hearing your hateful voice putting them down and using their every action to prove they’re worthless, you’re an abuser.
If you watched your child in pain and assured them they deserved it, you’re an abuser.
If your child can’t love themselves from how badly you hated them, you’re an abuser.
An interesting one from my own experience:
Convincing your child they will fail at anything they try, or that they’ll die young, because you used scare tactics like “do you want to end up a loser because you didn’t do (X)?” or “just wait until you get (disease) because you didn’t listen to me!” as a way to ‘motivate’ them makes you an abuser.
Using any form of negative reinforcement or feedback so recklessly and severely that your child internalizes all the negativity you throw at them makes you an abuser.
An inability to help or motivate your child into good behaviors without traumatizing threats, however indirect – and, likewise, a refusal to assess why your child may be engaging in bad behaviors – makes you an abuser.
I didn’t think Justice could be done in days like these. I thought Truth was always crushed beneath the hobnailed boots of The Corporate Man. But, tonight? After this? My life begins anew.
