#WE'RE NOT GAY I PROMISE

[bylersecretsanta2023]

THE SECRET SANTA RULES!! 🎅🤶

hello everyone :)

This is an event made by @miaisagirllover and @elsbianism. In this event, you will be secretly sending fanworks to other people. Here is how you take part!

Follow the blog and then send an ask with "💛💙🧑‍🎄" by the 15th of December. Once that date is over, we'll put all the names in a roulette and assign each person a secret santa.

We will tell everyone who they're supposed to gift something for by sending an ask through our main accounts.

The event will last from the 20th of December to the 15th of January, and prompts will be sent out soon. We hope that many people enjoy this event, as well as the many fanworks that'll hopefully come out of it.

it's so wild that it took me until the kiss to believe ed/stede romance was real while david jenkins was over here like "newsflash asshole! it's been a love story the entire god damn time!"

#like when i got my sister to watch it she was like 'is it really gay or are you just saying that' #and i had to be like 'no no i promise please trust me its real i promise' #its so sad that we're so hesitant to believe #like i still dont process it as real 2 months later #ofmd

my godmum who actively supports jk rowling on facebook bringing up radical feminism as an excuse for transphobia: i just think if we're speaking BIOLOGICALLY-

me who did my a-level coursework on the oppression of women and now has a bank of information about simone de beauvoir: im about to rock your world

#basically my godmum is your stereotypically thick local who thinks intellectual debating = who can speak the loudest #lucky for you babygirl i did dance for 7 years and now i waitress and my mum has undiagnosed anger issues! lets tussle! #her: BIOLOGICALLY- #me very calmly: the very basis of feminism was to elevate women from just being lessened to their biology feminists have been fighting #biological essentialism for CENTURIES now i mean just look at simone de beauviour's theories like if you think this is radical feminism #to fight against very old feminist theories and shit on trans people then i PROMISE you there is nothing radical about that #saying all this knowing full well my godmum short circuits at any form of calm-speaking-well-sourced-debate and has no fucking clue #who simone de beauvoir is #my mum does though bc she did a LOT of her studies around feminism and she literally went 🤭🤭🤭 #which i thought was progress bc usually it's my MUM i have these little run-ins with #although when my godmum left me and my mum were stood in the kitchen and my sister was upstairs but could very much hear #and we were talking about some political thing or another and my mum went #'i wonder what [godmum's name] would think as someone properly gay' #and i missed it at first but then i was like? PROPERLY? and i couldnt be like 'is that a dig at me' #bc im not out to my sister and she defo would've heard from upstairs #but i was like oh okay we're back to this now that solidarity was fun while it lasted ig #anyway this is all to say i had to sit there while my lesbian godmum tried (and failed) to be transphobic #all the while my ally sister got all passionate and pro-trans even though i know full well she's actually worse than my mum #and it's always me having to argue with BOTH of them AT THE SAME TIME about any sort of gay topic #bc my sister in particular CANNOT behave herself and seems to think it's quirky to have niche opinions #even though 'making life difficult for trans people' is not at all niche or radical #it was so frustrating bc i was like yeah im grateful we're on the same side against my godmum rn but i KNOW how full of shit you are #it was moreso like she was doing it to be politically correct and i was like yeah but in the safety of your home when you think #you can just say anything you do NOT have this energy lmao #just annoying especially being closeted and just having to take it #at least i embarrassed my godmum lol got her stuttering and shit by the end <333

I beg you all don't change your opinion of me.... #He is just. The most character of all time. #(that's not true Hero hell's library is but we're not talking about him rn ar we) #I am making a self insert JUST to be his best friend #To everyone in my server; #thankyou for putting up with me about him every night so far I am in a weird mental place it's late summer it happens #I love a character who's so in their own head about everything and also really fucking loud about it #and also gay he's gay he's so gay I love him so much he's so canonically gay I cannot stress this enough about him #that scene in like. The last episode of season 2 #where everyone's razzing the shit out of Yoshii for being so oblivious about Kubo's crush on him #I will think about it every day of the rest of my life #He's the dumbest smart person you'll ever know and I adore him to no end #He is my best friend and I need everyone to understand this #like how Koro is my default for romantic F/Os #Kubo is my default for Platonic he means the entire world to me I love him So Much. #I know he's incredibly fucking stupid and played for laughs in season 1 but he gets better I swear he gets better I promise please #believe me #this is not prompting to watch Baka and Test btw this show sucks kdfgjfdkjgkfd #It's my emotional support really crappy program that I feel a normal amount of attachment and emotions for #the manga's only 15 volumes......... #if I could find it in English..... I could read it all in a day................... #sobbing

it’s so strange being a fictive when we follow and have mutuals who are into my source. i try to walk a delicate line between “don’t be ashamed of being a fictive” and “oh gods i Can’t let them know i’m blorbo from their podcasts”

#am i even quote unquote in character though? could they tell it was me apart from the name? #shrug. i share the two most important personality traits i have with my source self though #we're both gay as hell and if we're not dramatic we'll die #i have a lot of thoughts on that actually. on comparing myself with my canon self and then with my fanon self #but that's too much for a text post that said mutuals may be seeing!!!! #hi mutuals i promise i'm not blorbo from your podcasts that would be ridiculous hahaha oh look over there #runs the fuck away #Cecil's tag #rambling #plurality tag

this is going to sound so weird but I personally as a bi person wish so badly that wwx was out/explicitly into men in his first life because I think it would be a harder-hitting story. he’s already being marginalized and (unfairly!!) scapegoated because of classism and mob mentality and the corruption and greed of the great sects. if this cultivation world also associated biphobia/homophobia with deviance and horror, and then the reveal comes later that he’s innocent of the accusations leveled at him, I think it would genuinely be a more powerful story. it doesn't have to be immediate wholesale disgust either, we saw how the sects were very happy to praise him for his accomplishments while knowing he was a son of a servant and a demonic cultivator, then turning on him and using any weapon they could to discredit and villainize him as soon as they needed to. it would just be par for the course.

I don’t like how the novel handles homophobia or internalized homophobia, but I actually disagree with automatically eliminating it from fantasy media, and I think it could be a meaningful vehicle to explore sexuality and identity, and the corruption and hypocrisy of the characters in power. it would be actually making a statement about the nature of bi/homophobia within that setting aside from a few disconnected, cartoonishly stereotypical statements by other characters and the godawful treatment of mxy, both of which wwx literally does not react to at all

wwx feels so disconnected from his sexuality throughout the entire story, especially in the novel (ironically enough), and I think discussing/acknowledging how people react to him in the narrative more would just have been a portrayal of a bisexual or gay man that lgbt people themselves could more easily connect with? obviously it was censored, but I think the drama tried to lean in this direction, especially by giving wwx that line after patting down xy. I also want to see the flipside - his sexuality bringing him joy and connecting him to a community and loved ones. which I think cql tries to do too, with nhs, and obviously with the romantic subtext of his relationship with lwj and how much peace and joy that relationship brings him

I get why people maybe wouldn’t want to see this and enjoy that wwx’s sexuality is unconnected from the rest of his very tragic and painful plot, but it just rings a little hollow for me. personally

#again I don't speak for all bi people etc. we're not a monolith it's jsut something I think would fuck. black sails influence on me maybe #incidental bisexuality is all well and good but this story is so deeply about wwx and about his identity and his struggles and his triumphs #being bi or gay felt like a character trait slapped on and not a part of his identity #in the novel #I have seen people talk about why they like how his internalized homophobia is handled and I don't want to talk over them or snything #this is just. personally I would have liked to see it. #i promise im not saying I want wwx to experience bi/homophoba to a greater extent than he already has #I'm just saying I think it would make him a more coherent character #which is wild to say because he alreasy had eight million things going on. he's a pretty coherent character already #and I like that he has a huge character outside of liking men #but I think it would fit really well and make sense #but it feels like SUCH a straight woman writing it. #well. in my head there's a perfect version of the show #cql txp

I just think some people need to remember that different parts of the queer community are not in competition, and unless someone is being hateful toward you for your identity, they are not your enemy—even if they seem like they're getting more acceptance or privileges than you!!

it's one thing to feel frustrated and jealous, but if you cannot celebrate and be happy for other queer people getting the good things they deserve, how can you expect them to want to support you?? this is a fucking community, not the hunger games y'all

the only way we're gonna get anywhere is by sticking together. even when the world sucks for us, we're supposed to still have each other. stop trying to pit different identities against each other

#this is very specifically brought on by one thing someone I know said #but it's also a very widespread thing I've noticed #and I'm fucking tired #you can be jealous you can have trust issues you're allowed to feel your feelings #but for the love of god remember we're all struggling here #(also in case anyone thinks I'm mad because someone was rude to me) #(no lmao this is bc someone who shares my identity feels a certain sorta way about some other queer identities #and I'm fucking done) #(no one on here ghsdghghds I promise) #gay stuff #lgbtq #queer stuff #idek
