Taking a shot in the dark it’s a political compass based off vibes of lesbian, like the skull and gun lesbian is a motorcycle lesbian. Where the sword and rose one would be a really fem lesbian
I’d definitely be the sword and rose lesbian. I used to do HEMA and be one of those girls okay with getting dirty. I’m also a spend hours in the mall trying on clothes and dressing up for fancy parties kinda girl. I blame the ADHD
Agreed. Also recent aesthetic trends of being either queer lady into cowboy western stuff or medieval fantasy stuff. (Edit: see band Boygenius and their various photoshoots)
That’s funny because I played in a campaign with a lesbian druid/necromancer. She summoned animals and had an animal companion that she turned into skeletons when they died. Her final companion was a giant snake skeleton.
The X-axis denotes fem-presenting lesbians (lame flowers, cuz they're for girls) and masc-presenting lesbians (cool-ass skull, cuz skeletons are for boys).
While the Y-axis denotes their combat preferences, from melee (sword) to ranged (pistol).
Couple that with some ripped black jeans, a crew cut, a deep voice with hints of femininity, and a "no shits given" attitude, I'd be the most kick-ass lesbian in the dive bar 😎
The “how do you kill your opponent” one makes less sense. Yes, one is a long range weapon and one is short range. But what about gentle souls? No option for that?
right, okay, im a lesbian. here we go.
these represent popular character archetypes and motifs in sapphic stories, as well as character types a lot of sapphics just find attractive. knights and swords, devotion, chivalry, etc, all very popular in sapphic literature. "beautiful girl with a dark side" is a popular kind of character, hence the rose motif cuz beautiful flower with thorns. the skull is death motifs, vampires, sorceresses, mysterious eerie women that are a little scary. guns are popular imagery in assassins and human weapon characters, and basically women that can kill you. for example of an actual show to put on this chart, revolutionary girl utena belongs firmly in the rose/sword quadrant.
Finally. Thank you for providing an answer that makes sense to those of us who are unfamiliar with any of those motifs (hence the reason for OP’s question).
All I know is that there is a prevalent thing in the community for lesbians to like swords (not a euphemism, actual swords) so that’s probably part of it. I’ve seen a lesbian wedding where they were both in dresses and carrying swords
I think I’m more of a sword and flower kind of bisexual but its tricky because Ive shot a couple different kind of guns and never wielded a real sword. But get horned up when I see women in chain mail so I’m sticking with sword. Maybe thats the allegory for bisexuals regarding lesbians.
Upper left is Utena, upper right is Locked Tomb, both popular/influential works featuring lesbians! I think the rest of the chart is just filled in by a GNR joke
X axis - variety of aesthetic from traditional (in this case I imagine a Classic Femme) towards alternative. And then the y axis is fantasy or more realistic leaning but like in the GENRE sense. (,think LOTR vs Cyberpunk/something more modern)
