Yeah lover is a little strange when you are “seeing” someone but the “I love you” thing hasn’t come into play yet. Unless it has (and we have some catching up to do haha). I think L works :)
Yeah. I’ve never really been at ease with that word in any situation. It sounds a little hokey to me. I have heard a...

Hahaha I know what’s goin on here.
Heeheeheeeee, yep! It’s funny, I generally feel awkward about the word lover, but that’s the best one we could come up with. It’s shorter than “that woman I’m sleeping with but not dating who’s also my friend but I don’t want to call...

Not to mention, just having a particular ethnicity in your makeup doesn’t...

The Bechdel Test and Race in Popular Fiction
crystalsavestheday:
1. It has to have two POC in it.
2. Who talk to each other.
3. About something other than a white person.
No Joss Whedon show passes, neither does Supernatural, or Being Human.
Veronica Mars passes, but doesn’t pass the original Bechdel Test.
