I legitimately think the first video game to ever say the word “bisexual” out loud was Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. There is a nonzero chance it was actually the first video game to print “bisexual” in a text format.
It is very possible that the first video game character to ever say the word “Bisexual” out loud was Solid Snake.
Based on what I found, the first ever bisexual character in a video game was Curtis Craig from Phantasmagoria 2 (1996) but I have yet to find out if he says the word “bisexual” in the scene where this is revealed
He does not. He says he’s attracted to his male best friend but he never says the word “bisexual.”
The first ever character to ever correctly and overtly identify a person as bisexual was Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)
i love narratives that are two fundamentally different experiences on the first and second read. stories you have to experience at least twice bc crucial information is withheld from you the first time
it’s like the converse of dramatic irony. the audience/reader’s understanding of events is restricted by the author - you only know as much as the protagonist knows, maybe even less - until a revelation comes near the end that casts everything that happened in a different light. this is why unreliable narrators are so intriguing and mystery/thriller/horror stories are super gripping! v. underrated imo. you have to keep readers on their feet - sometimes you aren’t omniscient as a third party observer
Obsessed by this statue I saw today in Le Havre (France) from the Italian sculptor Fabio Viale. The design isn’t painted on… The ink is injected inside the marble like a real tattoo. And if I remember correctly what the guide said, it took the artist three weeks to do just that.
Love how Tumblr moved the BLM and SAH tags to their own “stuff we care about” subsection of the trending topics and how it looks like something you’d see out of pinterest and also there’s an LGBT icon thingy and the thumbnail is gay porn
