Leather & Lace Romance Week!

Hello and welcome to official post for the Leather and Lace Romance Week for 2018, hosted by @vorchagirl and @blueteaparty.  This week is dedicated to celebrating all of the romances, potential romances, or dreamed of romances, in all of our favourite fandoms, and doing so in a positive, friendly, and accepting way.

So what exactly is the Leather & Lace Romance Week? The aim of this week is to encourage fans to create art, write fanfiction, or discuss their favourite romantic tropes. Each day is themed to a classic romance trope and participants can choose to either take a Leather or a Lace approach. That is, you can choose to create NSFW /smutty content, or you can approach things in a fluffier, sweeter, and G-rated manner. If you already have a piece of writing, art or HC that is perfect for this event, please feel free to share it!

When does it run? 12th - 18th February 2018 (Yes, over Valentines Day!)

The daily tropes!

Day 1. Two people/One Bed (12th Feb)

Day 2. Fake Relationship/Engagements/Marriage  (13th Feb)

Day 3. Valentines Day (14th Feb)

Day 4. Disagreements and Making up (15th Feb)

Day 5. Trapped Together (16th Feb)

Day 6. Friends/Enemies to Lovers (17th Feb)

Day 7. Soulmates / Destined to be together (18th Feb)

Are there any rules?

- Please avoid all fandom wank and negativity. Fandom drama, discourse, or anti-ship/character hate is not welcome. In fact, hate in general is not welcome.

- It should go without saying that sexist, racist, ableist etc. behaviour is equally unwelcome.  In short: Be excellent to each other!

- Follow the golden rules: Ship and Let Ship & Your Kink is Not My Kink!

- Tag your work if it’s NSFW and for all major warnings/triggers - it’s only polite!

- Please respect LGBT+ characters sexualities and pronouns

- This is a celebration of consensual romance, in all its forms.

- This is a sex positive event, and that means that all healthy and consensual sexual relationships are welcome. In the same vein, romance does not necessarily equal sex, and of course this means that asexual and aromatic relationships are welcome too, as are casual sexual relationships.

looks always say everything 🌛

[Camila running over to Dinah clearly panicking]

Camila: DINAH! I FUCKED UP REALLY BAD.

Dinah: What happened?!

Camila: I was doing math with Sofi and told her to 'hold up eleven fingers'.

Camila: And I didn't realize what I had said until she started to panic and yelled 'MAMI, I ONLY HAVE TEN'. And now she can't stop crying!!

I often get asked for “proofs” of Camila’s sexuality and why I don’t believe that she could be straight, and I often answer with gifs of her looking at women, mostly Lauren, because those looks are indeed very obvious, but I’ve realized  over the years  that Camila’s facial expressions and her body language are also very revealing of how she feels. 

In this particular interview it’s painfully obvious that she’s uncomfortable with an heteronormative question. 

Her face says it all. Watch the way her facial expression tenses when he says “man”, and then the obvious “I’m so tired of this bullshit” face she’s pulling, which then slowly turns sad and then pissed.

When the interviewer implies that the guy could be him (🙄🙄🙄 ) she jumps at the occasion, hoping that that answer would be enough, but then he asks her again, observe her body language, she’s defensive, she really doesn’t want to answer.

Then she mentions Andrew Garfield but is very quick to add Emma Stone to the mix, putting the emphasis on the fact that she likes the “couple” and not the guy. She then talks about the movie, subtly changing the subject - she ended up not answering the question directly.

I know right now she looks the happiest she’s ever been and that a lot of amazing things are happening for her, but my personal opinion is that she’s also having a really hard time having to hide who she is and having to play along with the straight game. 

I know she won’t come out now or anytime soon, because her new campaigns, especially the GUESS one, are straight oriented, and Alessandro even if it’s not official, is serving as her new love interest - I’m just really hoping that with her album coming out the focus will be back on her music and that she won’t have to answer that type of question too often. 

I just can’t wait for the time when she will finally be able to be free ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜
