*nods* I have a related shipping habit, one that developed from a personal relationship. Gay men 'going straight' for their female best friends is hot in the same way it's hot when straight guys go gay for their male best friends. There's an element of 'will they/won't they' that is exciting.

Outside of that kink, I just want a fuck load more bisexuals in media in general. More bi content spanning the spectrum with a wide variety of narrative and vision.

What I really want is more bisexual characters who actually have relationships/are involved with members of the same sex, not just members of the opposite sex. Almost all of the canon bi characters I can think of ultimately end up in het relationships and it's kind of disappointing.

That would require more canon bisexuals regardless of whether or not they end up with opposite sex or same sex partners. There's so few to begin with in television and movies and most of them are female and written by men.

DA. Where are all these m/f partnered bisexuals you keep talking about? I literally can only think of two: Cece from New Girl and Lily from How I Met Your Mother.

For f/f bis like, throw a dart at literally anything animated in the past few years. Korrasami. Princess Bubblegum/Marcelline. There was a bi f/f pair in Star! Vs The Monsters. Max from Life is Strange and so on.

Neither is bad. As a bisexual myself I'm just always confused where people even get this discourse when I can never think of many.

Here's a few:

Callie Torres (Grey's Anatomy)
Carina DeLuca (Grey's Anatomy/Station 19)
Sara Lance (Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow)
Jackson Whittemore (Teen Wolf)
Alana Bloom (Hannibal)
Kalinda Sharma (The Good Wife)
Magnus Bane (Shadowhunters)
Various (Torchwood)

I get the sense that Angel Dust was likely canonly bisexual back when he was originally supposed to be with Vaggie (he's almost the exact same character archetype), but I'm all for any combination of "going [blank] for [specific character]", it appeals to the romantic "love conquers all" in me I think lol.

And yep, I honestly feel like Angel would have been groundbreaking if he were canonly bisexual. Fem bi men get almost zero representation, and when there is the rare occasion they do it's always with them being the bottom for a more masculine guy in a gay relationship because there seems to be this unspoken (shitty, wrong) cultural idea that "everybody wants dick" eventually AND that fem men ultimately cannot not be satisfied with a female partner. :/

+1 about Fem Bi Men representation.
