Spock probably thinks he’s being SO straightforward when he initially starts flirting with jim. He’s like…. “prolonged eye contact? Check. Stood 72.4% closer to him on the bridge today? Check. Told Jim I found his illogic fascinating? Double check. Soon we will progress to lingering sleeve touches and conversations about our mutual interests. I estimate I’ll be able to propose marriage within the next decade” and poor Jim’s just like “bones I might be wrong here but I think Spock might actually like hanging out with me. It’s just a vibe but it’s definitely there. Do you think we’re friends yet? Do you think he likes me? I just don’t know”

Season 1 of cutthroat kitchen: “here’s a sabotage that lets you take away an opponents cheese”
Current season of cutthroat kitchen: “see this Barbie dream house? You have to make all of your food in barbie’s kitchen, but if she catches you she’ll call the cops”

there are

ayellowbirds:

lionesses that grow manes and lions that don’t
fish and amphibians that change reproductive sex depending on age, environment, or availability of mate
an entire species where the vulva and clitoris adapted into an organ outwardly indistinguishable from a penis, complete with a scrotum—spotted hyenas
some bears who show that as a mutation, including individuals known to have given birth
countless documented cases of same-sex partnerships in animals that mate for life
insects where the semen-bearing sex is the one that receives penetration and the ova-bearing sex is the one that has a penetrative phallus
seahorses, my gods, you should know about seahorses by now
“male” cuttlefish that present as female and seek to mate with other females
countless species where the larger, more aggressive sex is female and the smaller, flashier one is male

but for your science fiction or fantasy setting, you decided that most nonhuman sapients have a strict gender binary that maps perfectly to contemporary western human cultural standards?

even humans aren’t like that.

Three types of D&D classes:

  • Those that derail the adventure by saying “I’m gonna kill it”
  • Those that derail the adventure by saying “I’m gonna steal it”
  • Those that derail the adventure by saying “I’m gonna fuck it”

Kill:

  • Paladin – unflinchingly devoted to combating evil, or dangerously repressed? Either way, inclined to smite first, ask questions never, because they don’t approve of necromancy.
  • Ranger – if you’re lucky, the ranger has a tragic backstory that requires revenge. If you’re not, they’re straight up a trophy hunter.
  • Barbarian – tendency to get murdery when confused.

Steal:

  • Rogue – if it’s not nailed down, the rogue’s taking it home. If it is nailed down, they’re also taking the nails.
  • Wizard – look, those spell books aren’t going to read themselves, unless they will, in which case the wizard really wants them.
  • Fighter – less impulsively stabby than the more niche stabby classes, but may be unlikely to resist the urge to acquire something fancy to stab with.

Fuck:

  • Bard – if you don’t roll to seduce the big bad, are you even really playing a bard?
  • Sorcerer – it runs in the family, probably.
  • Druid – this is not the intended use of wildshape and no one wants this but there goes the druid anyway.

Wildcards:

  • Cleric – depends pretty heavily on what sort of god they follow, but you’ll probably know how they’ll ruin everything by the time they do so.
  • Warlock – honestly, who knows, it’s likely even they’re not sure which category they’re going to fall into until their patron’s orders come in.
