I've received clarification

[xp_catseye]

I have asked, and for those wondering: Rictor's post about having a plant that contains the spirit of a man is not a veiled reference to his new relationship with Shatterstar. Discussion around a sapient plant still makes no sense, but let's congratulate them both.

why? I gotta live with Sir Kissy Face

[xp_catseye]

You're just jealous. Is love not to be celebrated?

[xp_liono]

MY love, yeah!

[xp_rictor]

Of course Sharon will post the same thing when you find a boyfriend, too!

[xp_liono]

have you met sharon?

[xp_rictor]

Love is love right? 💁‍♂️🏳️‍🌈

[xp_liono]

not to her. she is a hater.

[xp_catseye]

For most people this is true.

However, Liam is Liam.

[xp_catseye]

Until you prove you're responsible you're not allowed in the gene pool without water-wings.

[xp_lusized]

liam is fine he has access to condoms like every other person with a penis

[xp_liono]

what would you know about that?!

[xp_lusized]

you can get free condoms at like the health clinic in district x or at the infirmary downstairs or like everywhere on college campuses and like four clubs I know and 2 theaters

[xp_liono]

I'm not nearly in the city that much, but good to know!

[xp_catseye]

I'm not celebrating that.

And you should lock the door whenever you feel the need to do so.

[xp_lusized]

ur in college next year just move into another room there are 9 billion of them move next to me and jessie

[xp_liono]

hmmmmm....you guys are pretty awesome

[xp_lusized]

we do always have cake

[xp_liono]

I'm in

[xp_rictor]

Ay Dios mío

[xp_catseye]

What? Your post was confusing. I thought other people would appreciate the clarification.

[xp_rictor]

I think everyone except you accepted and understood that Ted the Man-Thing is both a man and a thing

[xp_lusized]

so he's non binary?

[xp_rictor]

I forgot to ask during the magic psychic torment but I will next time 💀

[xp_lusized]

omg I thought you were kidding was he really tormented that's so sad

[xp_rictor]

Ted might be, that's also still unclear. But I meant my magic psychic torment, which was all a misunderstanding.

[xp_lusized]

OH NO
are you okay I mean you see okay

did the torment lead to you and shatterstar deciding you're in love because was that worth it I hope it was you guys are so cute

[xp_rictor]

Yes and yes! I promise, I am fine. I survived Death's attack on District X, the video game kidnapping, and the Slendermen. Ted was like a spa day in comparison.

[xp_catseye]

It's rare for plants to have distinct genders. Technically most of them are hermaphroditic, or able to change genders based on their environment.

Maybe the plant is a They-Thing.

[xp_lusized]

most plants aren't talking to us though, you can be intersex and still identify as a single gender, so he could be a man-thing or a they-thing, or a man and just stuck in a plant body

possession makes gender confusing

[xp_catseye]

Sex and gender are also distinct, at least to my nose. Although if he's a plant, would there even be chemical signifiers to detect?

I must smell the Man-Thing.

[xp_catseye]

I doubt it. Boys have notoriously strange relationships with their man-things.

[xp_talon]

Congratulation.

[xp_lusized]

FINALLY! And with enough time to get comfy before pride!!!!!!!!

i mean the boy love not the plant

is the plant gay too?

[xp_aero]

Relationship?! Finally.

[xp_catseye]

Finally, someone with a reasonable response.

[xp_aero]

Wishing you all the best boys.

Still, Sharon, you probably shouldn't'a posted this without their permission. It ain't really yer right t'do so an' it could've led to a dangerous situation fer them if it was anywhere other than here.

[xp_catseye]

I was told it was not a secret. Is love not to be celebrated?

Besides, heterosexuals are in the minority here. My own child Lightning McQueen is homosexual, like his father before him.

[xp_aero]

Sigh. Jus' think a little next time ya post.

[xp_shatterstar]

why did you post this

[xp_catseye]

For clarity? I thought we agreed things would be simpler if people said what they meant rather than leaving it to the rest of us to interpret.

[xp_chameleon]

Oh thank god I thought we were about to find out Rictor was in a relationship with the plant man. Which like, is fine! Love is love. Is the plant man asexual?

But like I've written an entire fanfic in my head about Rictor and Star and if it didn't happen I was going to be SO SAD.

[xp_bright]

Oh! Congrats Star and Rictor, that’s so cool.
