What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

a linguistic proposition

Given the seemingly near-universal acceptance of Jensen Ackles’s beauty among the queer women, straight women, queer men, straight men, asexuals, aromatics, nobinary and genderqueer persons of my acquaintance; and given also that we currently lack a single, distinct word for “a person who makes me question and/or redefine my sexuality”, I hereby propose the introduction of the word ‘ackles’ to fit this definition. Not only would this simplify things enormously, but we’d cut down on reductive and ultimately inaccurate statements like “I’d go gay for Ruby Rose” by saying instead that “Ruby Rose is my ackles,” aka “someone who makes me rethink my sexuality, even if only in a single instance”. 

All in favour?
