I don't watch Teen Wolf and I'm reblogging this: I Am Stiles: A Campaign for Bi Visibility in Teen Wolf. The FAQ makes a careful distinction between shippers wanting to see their favorite pairing canonized and bisexual fans wanting to see a very important part of their identity acknowledged as a real thing onscreen, not just used as a meta-teaser for the fanbase. I have no arguments against this idea.

Succinctly put, it is an effort started by notmissmarple to bring the issue over overall bisexual visibility to the attention of Jeff Davis and the production team of MTV's Teen Wolf . . . I've seen so many posts going around by amazing fans, amazing writers, talking about their own experiences and their past, and how much it would mean for them to see a bisexual main character on the show . . . Jeff Davis himself has insinuated that he was leaving Stiles' sexuality open and perhaps hinting at his bisexuality intentionally. Do I think this project will result in him coming out in the show? Well, no. But hopefully it'll at least communicate to Jeff and others on the production team how important it is to us to have that representation.

So: if you watch Teen Wolf, read this LJ, and haven't yet checked out the Stiles Campaign, go and do that. It sucks having people believe you don't exist.

What has two thumbs and a copy of Francesca Forrest's Pen Pal (2013)?

Okay, well, you can't see the thumbs, but it's me.

Things I need to remember: Not to be jealous of Small Bill's genealogy. Mr. Ovey's six-greats-ago grandfather was a marlin, and Mrs. Ovey's seven-greats-ago grandmother was a sea turtle. But all of us got seablood, even if it's not from creatures with gills or shells. We're either born with it or it's sung into us. The Seafather gave it to the Choctaw and Biloxi and Pensacola people who hid out in the salt marshes, so no white folks could find them, and to runaways and other slippery folk who were happier on the sea than the land—like Vaillant, who swam from Haiti to Cuba and from Cuba to here, to get away from slavery. Gran said that when he found out there was slavery here, too, he decided to give up on dry land altogether and pledged allegiance to the sea. The Seafather admired Vaillant so much, he gave him fins. Whenever Small Bill starts talking about his marlin ancestor, I start bragging on Vaillant's fins. The marlin was just born with fins, but Vaillant earned them.
