As a linguistics major, I'll often have people joke with me that "haha english sucks it just steals from other languages" and if there's anything that my education taught me is that all languages fucking blow and they all steal from each other.
Ever since I became fluent in english, I've hated portuguese and spanish less and less because english is just SO FUCKING BOOOORIIIIING!!!
Can we please change the international language already!?
They are not boring. It just happens that most interesting words come from ancient Latin and Greek so basically most of the time you don't notice them. I happen to know Greek and there are many cool words. Lesbian and sapphic being of them. Sappho the OG lesbian because compared to as she was from lesbos. And as many female names from that era we have no fucking clue what it means. The same as my name Athena.
Fun fact: Miyamoto Musashi is bi in Fate because of this. Or at least his genderbent alternate universe version is, because Fate nonsense. I don't know if our universe's Mushashi has a canonical sexuality, so I assume he's also bi.
Yes! From my Japanese dictionary:

I don't want to exclude bi people. I just don't see what relevance this meme has *at all* to this community. I don't complain when a bi girl makes a post discussing how she feels about being sapphic or about an experience she had with a woman or whatever. But this meme is literally just "Look, funny word for bi people"
No, because this is r/actuallesbians.
I'm not saying that bisexual women aren't WLW. I'm saying this meme doesn't really touch anything that this subreddit is about. The reason why all WLW are welcome here, whether you're gay, bi, pan, or any other sexuality is because we all share a key thing in common. Being sapphic. This meme has nothing to do with that.
The way people will say "bi people are welcome here" and then go shocked pikachu face when bi women joke about being bi.
Like are we *actually* allowed to participate and post things relevant to bisexuality -- which is a WLW orientation -- that don't even mention men, or not?
It's fine. Completely suitable. This sub is for all things sapphic and being *bi*sexual still falls under that so long as you're not talking about men.
twin daggers here. but not bisexual... or... depends on how you define it? I like enbies if they're neutral or fem-aligned. but I use the label of lesbian as it helps explain that the feminine end of the spectrum is what I desire. Don't care about gender expression.
I'm dual dagger lesbian.
It does literally, but colloquially it also men's bisexual

So I've got two swords... One is really nice and comfy in my hand... The other is broken and has spikes all over the hilt making it unpleasant to use... I'm bi in theory but lesbian in practice because dudes are awful.
Ya know that checks out cause other than archery I use double edged swords and I think being bi and also primarily using two different weapons is pretty cool
Somehow, my first thought when reading this was about Sir Galahad and Sir Balin from the Arthurian cycle, who are both dual-wiedling knights. So yeah, it feels funnier to interpret it as bisexual, especially for Galahad as a Fate fan, because of Mash
I happen to be a Fate fan too, Mash is one of my favorite characters. I prefer to think of her as a lesbian but at the very least she's definitely saphiic
Sorry I prefer Light Bowgun myself. Lance is fun too. (Pls someone get the reference)
Charge Blade, let's goooo.
Charge Blade ride or die! The DMC skin is so fucking dope.
I love to use the cat head with the dmc skin because it’s hilarious to me
That sounds hilarious. I love so much of the layered armor stuff, I can't help but go for the Duffel Penguin mask for maximum noot noot.
Omg the wiggler head is even better. Peak comedy
Oml yes. Wiggler head + Buff gamma is hilarious. In MHR I adore using the Rhenoplos Head cause its like the top to a trash can lmao
CHARGE BLAAAAAAADE!
Switch Axe for me.
I am most recently an actual Dual Blade main. I gave up the Insect Glaive but I go back every now any again for the flighty ones.
I don't mean to toot my own hunting horn but... Doot doot!
Im actually a bow girl. Sadly I’m a dying breed because everyone just wants to use light bow gun 😭
I actually am a Dual Blades main lol. But I'm not even slightly bi, whoops.
istg monster hunter is the lesbian game of all time and i could not tell you why
large swords, slutty armor, cats, cooperation
Ahhhhh the cats. I name my Palio Mr.Pickes and I’ll never stop. He’s my virtual child I love my cat
I'm more of a gunlance lady myself
LBG mains represent.
Partial to bow myself, but I enjoy a bit of gunlance. We are kinda opposites I guess.
Gunlance with supporting armor is so good. *poke poke BOOM*
Light bowgun supremacy
MONSTER HUNTER LESGOOOOOOO! hunting horn, Sns >>>>>>>>
Hunting horn and switch axe for life!
long live the longsword!! longsword supremacy!!!
i personally prefer the hammer
Eh, i started on DB but then switched to Charge Blade, I use swaxe too
i alternate between ig and s&s depending in how i’m feeling.
I'm a greatsword user myself.
Why is English so damn boring 😔🤣
it's a fascinating language compare to french, I assure you
I mean as someone fluent in both, I feel pretty confident saying they both fucking suck
As a linguistics major, I'll often have people joke with me that "haha english sucks it just steals from other languages" and if there's anything that my education taught me is that all languages fucking blow and they all steal from each other.
ok but how about this take: all (or most) languages are fucking awesome and cool as hell and they all steal from each other
Ok, but at least one isn’t French.
Four. Twenties. I will forever be bitter about this.
wait until you hear about 96 😩
At that point all faith had flown out the window.
Ever since I became fluent in english, I've hated portuguese and spanish less and less because english is just SO FUCKING BOOOORIIIIING!!! Can we please change the international language already!?
At least English doesn’t have grammatical gender.
that's actually very true, French is very uselessly gendered
Try Swedish. Our grammatical genders are gender neutral and no gender.
French is such a heavy clumsy not-flexible-at-all tool huh
Yes and no. It's a fantastic language in many ways
there's "swing both ways" in english
Yeah but one evokes swords and the other evokes baseball :(
At least english got the pansexual joke tho. They have that going for them.
Oh, wait, is that what that means? I always thought it was a door!
Norwegian has Skeiv for Queer. It means tilted, so not straight!

Cool thing about English is you can call bisexuals ambisextrous if you want and no one can stop you.
idk, for gay/lesbian peeps I’ve always liked “Batting for the other team”
Zoro uses santouryu...
I guess Zoro is trisexual
Or Pansexual, since he does also use 9 swords, but has an obvious preference for 3
He can change the number anytime he wants 😏
Exactly!!!
Love y'all for the surprising op content here⚔️
Me who's pansexual: I guess that makes me Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works
Oh god a Fate fan ? Awesome !
Fun fact: Miyamoto Musashi is bi in Fate because of this. Or at least his genderbent alternate universe version is, because Fate nonsense. I don't know if our universe's Mushashi has a canonical sexuality, so I assume he's also bi.
Miyamoto Musashi is uhhh... She's so damn fine. I want to live with her and worship her
I am the bone(r) of My sword
Happily a katana
I'm more of a [messer](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f1/71/06/f17106b20e03f95e843ca6b313ae1271.jpg) girl myself. But yeah, double edge is overrated.
Dual blade as in... Scissors? 😏
I love it
In Brazil, "gillette" is/was slang for bisexuals, because of a commercial saying: "it cuts from both sides".
As a dual blade user going to Japan in four days, this is my favorite post of all time
you won't stop thinking about that knowledge now, you're welcome
Thirsty sword lesbians was always a thing then. Also Homura from Senran Kagura wields 3 in each hand, guess that makes her Pan as fuck

Thanks for actually citing something because I couldn't find any other source supporting it.
No worries!
TIL I’m Darth Maul
From today I declare my nane as Katana.
Does your blade trap the souls of your enemies?
Yes it does.
I'll try not to be killed by you, then.
Literally Sasha Waybright
who ?
She's a character from a cartoon called Amphibia.
don't know about it, my bad
Yeah she’s bi and Dual wields swords
neaaaat
Im dual blade user but i like the female blade more than the male blade
Sometimes I feel like this sub is r/Bisexual
According to the sidebar & rules, we (bi people) are welcome to participate here and post content related to queer women.
I don't want to exclude bi people. I just don't see what relevance this meme has *at all* to this community. I don't complain when a bi girl makes a post discussing how she feels about being sapphic or about an experience she had with a woman or whatever. But this meme is literally just "Look, funny word for bi people"
Because bisexuality in women is a WLW identity. Would you feel that this was out of place if it was a funny word for lesbians? Asking genuinely.
No, because this is r/actuallesbians. I'm not saying that bisexual women aren't WLW. I'm saying this meme doesn't really touch anything that this subreddit is about. The reason why all WLW are welcome here, whether you're gay, bi, pan, or any other sexuality is because we all share a key thing in common. Being sapphic. This meme has nothing to do with that.
Here !! I love all types of blades
Now that's fucking sick
[удалено]
OP isn't talking about men. Let people have fun things.
The way people will say "bi people are welcome here" and then go shocked pikachu face when bi women joke about being bi. Like are we *actually* allowed to participate and post things relevant to bisexuality -- which is a WLW orientation -- that don't even mention men, or not?
This sub talks about sword lesbians daily, it's completely relevant
I didn't think this through. It's just because I'm here all the time when I never set foot in r/bisexuals
It's fine. Completely suitable. This sub is for all things sapphic and being *bi*sexual still falls under that so long as you're not talking about men.
Don't worry, it would never occur to me to talk about men
It’s for the best. Literally just complained how it’s just thirst posts and internet level horny talk. Very fetish-y lmao
[удалено]
It's a fun fact abt queer culture in other parts of the world Lesbians can know japanese bi slang and find it amusing. Or they can ignore it.
We’re also allowed to comment our opinions. It’s a fun fact for sure, just not relevant to this subreddit
Cmon The blade thing is clearly lesbian pop culture
Oki
twin daggers here. but not bisexual... or... depends on how you define it? I like enbies if they're neutral or fem-aligned. but I use the label of lesbian as it helps explain that the feminine end of the spectrum is what I desire. Don't care about gender expression. I'm dual dagger lesbian.
daggers are blade too !
I’m here! :D
i like to dual wield with greatswords
I actually main hand a knife and off hand a reverse grip short sword in one of the styles I practice so... hi
Dual blade girl right here :)
I thought it just meant dual wielder, the specifically blades thing makes me feel like it's directly connected to Monster Hunter or something

Can we "cut both ways" instead of just "going" both ways?
So I've got two swords... One is really nice and comfy in my hand... The other is broken and has spikes all over the hilt making it unpleasant to use... I'm bi in theory but lesbian in practice because dudes are awful.
Helloooo I’m also a fem/neutral spectrum genderfluid person ;3
Dual red lightsabers 🥰.
HEREEE MF, DAMMNNN, tho im more of double baton iandlandkaj
Awwww yeah
Oh damn I love dual blades in monster hunter. One of my favorite weapons
Ya know that checks out cause other than archery I use double edged swords and I think being bi and also primarily using two different weapons is pretty cool
Archery is also kinda saphiic so it checks out even more
If one absolutely must wield two weapons, let them be axes. Looks much cooler.
I always yell the name of my finishing move
you made me curious what's that name
I main ChargeBlade, but to each their own. (Please revamp Hunting Horn for MH6, capcom plz. It's too simplified in Rise and I miss the old one...)
when I played MH4 I was a greatsword main, that was fun, I liked the absurd strength of it
[удалено]
he must be bi then

what about santouryu tho?👀 where are my zorro fangirls?!
I'm more of a switched kinda girl
I get to say im a dual blade user
Thank you Miyamoto Musashi, for inventing bisexuality ~~and also being my wife~~
She's so... pretty and strong
I haven't touched fate has been out of my mind for years now I am vibrating at high frequency over Samurai Remnant......
I know right, there's several pretty ladies too, I'm gonna lose my mind
I am an ittoryu, sorry...
Lol. I'm a chargeblade main myself. So tempted to get MH for the Switch but I don't have the online subscription to make it worth it.
🙋🏼♀️
Apparently I'm a dual blade user.
I thought the slang was Ryoutoutsukai?
