More from AshleyFableBlack
Good afternoon to all of you fine-as-hell buckets of fluffernutter!
You know, I realize it's been forever since we've shared a decent "TAIVO Tuesday" together *folds her fingers, head lowered* and I do apologize for that. *shrugs* More relationship advice centered on a cyborg Super-soldier Wolfman and a aging Twink-ish Fox-mutant fun to be had soon enough, I promise. Tyrsday? *shakes her head*
But for now- let's have a bedtime story, yes? *rubs at her chin* You know, ever since I can recall, I've heard the call rise from the throats of concerned conservatives and the more fearful-yet-well-meaning parents everywhere... "HOW'm I supposed to explain THAT to MY kids?!" *pauses in recollection* Well, actually, I can recall before that when I was much younger that it was just kind of/sort of illegal to be gay, state-to-state, sodomy laws and so on, so explaining it wasn't an issue *raises a digit* BUT since our world started to gain some goddamn sense, courtesy, decency towards others and respect for sweet, sweet love- I recall this phrase. *shrugs* Some would say "You shouldn't HAVE to! It's morally repugnant!"... some would say "Who gives a shit? It's your shitty kid! Figure it out yourself!" some might even say "They just call him The Stig!"...
Well, worry no more, lovely watcher! *claps her paws together* Whatever camp you should belong to, I have taken the trouble of offering you this handy-dandy comic, explaining "the gay" to your kids FOR you. *smiles* Because I love ya, just that much. *nods approvingly* How does it work? Why does it work? Should they be allowed to have kids? I covered all the tough bases for you. *raises paws* No need to thank me. It's just what I do.
*sighs, slumps back* Did I mention that I'm really freakin' tired right now...? Ugh. I'ma go lie down...
But in the meantime, you get out there ya knuckleheads and educate an impressionable young mind a bit. If you don't I can guarantee you, those hooligans at the schoolhouse will. Or maybe they'll watch "The Golden Girls"... which you could do FAR worse in terms of role models, honestly.... *shrugs* Rose was so sweet. Sophia was like a little Italian Yoda, man... Blanche was... Well... okay, she was kinda/sorta ME in another thirty or so years. I can admit that. *laughs* One world for us all, beautiful dreamers. One love.

Wow. I didn't expect anyone to ask about that. *chuckles, red-cheeked* I will note you on that one, love....
The short version is- many things I post here are the introductions to series of things I've either already made extensive storylines out of and just haven't gotten around to posting yet either out of time constraints or sheer, unadelterated laziness. *shrugs* Also, I'm an idiot who takes on way too much to do...
Example- That story I posted a few months back, the one about the pony, "Tulip?" That's the first of series of six stories and a little artwork that get into some real deep issues for how I see the relationship between a "god" and it's creations, or an artist and theirs, the morality involved, what seperates "love" from "infatuation", the nature and reality of "consent" and a PILE of my own baggage.

Can I say that I fucking love you for this?
Also: that baby is so kyute! :p
Though, honestly, before you can explain 'the gay', parents should explain sexuality and reproduction to their kids, from a purely scientific and biological point of view (how genitals works, how babies are made) then go on love, feelings, and how love and reproduction are not irretrievably tied. Heck, when I started biology class in school, I knew everything the teacher was saying, and even some things he never mentioned, because my mom bought me books that explained the human body, and many other things.
Once people stop being afraid of genitals, and stop consider them as shameful parts of themselves, then we'll be able to move forward and get back to the level of many of the ancient civilizations, who, as far as I know, had no qualms about same-sex relationships.

My folks did the same. Mom was a microbiologist, Dad an electronics engineer. I was raised with a thorough, if informal, education on both biology and electricity...

*blushes a lil'* I'm glad to make you happy, love.
Chrissie has come to call that one "Our Derp-baby". Just earlier in the car she got the giggles and we started imitating the stork in a kind of "Strong Bad's Teen Girl Squad" way...
And Thank YOU for this, love. I agree completely. I don't know about most people but I have always had a knowledge of what reproduction was, how 'sex' worked and I didn't understand why the sex or gender of the parties involved really mattered. Although my parents didn't explain "sex" or "love" to me, they took a sort of "hands-off" approach to what I saw on TV or read in books, so I was raised on the R-rated movies of the 80's and a diet of whatever reading material I found, Mark Twain to George Orwell.
Our kids don't have any of the mis-givings we invent for ourselves, cultural norms, taboos, local customs, all of that idiocy. They don't "just know" that one set of rules and behaviour is only acceptable for one group but not another. Bad(if maybe well-intended) parents instill that in them. "Love", "Sex" and "Reproduction" live in the same neighborhood but they are NOT the same thing.
The day I can see two six-year-old boys hold hands and nobody in the room freaks out about it, I will be a happy little hellion.

"Goo." I'm freakin' dying here! This is too cute and precious!
On a serious note, you're right as usual. People have a serious perception issue when it comes to this subject. I personally feel if you're going to be the one to take responsibility to raise a child at all, that means you gotta step up, do it right, and explain them birds and bees, and birds who like other birds, and the birds who like eggs, and so forth. That's your JOB. You accepted it when you accepted the fact that you would be a parent. So when you ask "but how am I supposed to", the answer is as simple as the question. Just tell them. Be honest. Be blunt if you have to, it'll get it over with a little faster that way. But don't skimp on anything important. Or, just use this terribly useful comic! It's your kids' lives, and they're gonna have a much harder time figuring out who they are or want to be if you don't give them every chance to do so.
And hell yes, Golden Girls is a great show.
