I don't mean to make this about me but can I "yes and" your point with how this feels as a bisexual woman who is primarily attracted to women? Neither I nor Charlie become straight when we have a thing for a man. We are not now magically repulsed when the person we like this time is a guy
Speaking of complex queerness, I am so bad at getting around to comments so can I take this moment to say how much I loved "Give A Little More" for digging into that complexity and using sexuality as a tool to examine interpersonal relationships? Because that was just so good.
The Charlastor part was A+ of course and I could GO ON about that, but the chapter with Angel and Charlie stole the show so hard for me for exploring sexuality outside of sexual and romantic attraction. There's that grey, hard to define line of love that doesn't fit in the normal boxes experience
omg thank you so much, that means so much to me!!!! love and sexuality have always frankly been vague and complicated for me and i really was so excited to write about it outside the bounds of labels. charlie says twice that she sincerely loves all of her residents and i had fun exploring that💖💖
I'm so glad you did! It's my favorite of your stories and I've gone back to read it several times to enjoy the character exploration. Niffty was another interesting one, bringing up the infantilization of small women and her frustration with it.
I’m ace so I really like and relate to Alastor, I use Charlie as a stand in for me because I feel uncomfortable directly putting myself into the ship 🙃
