#also hi yes bi

[coricomile]

I don't follow the cast, promo team, and crew of Stranger Things on anything because anything other than Tumblr on the social media front makes me go "no thank you", so I don't have the frame of reference of those places re: queerbaiting. I've heard that there was promotion of Will/Mike through June and retweets of fanart, but I like the show enough to get excited to watch it, not enough to follow the BTS stuff.

Do I think Will's "coming out" speech in the van to Mike via his relationship with El was mishandled? Yes. (Noah did great. It's just sort of a bad handling of the situation.) Did I think the way Jonathan was looking back at him in the rearview mirror and connecting the dots and then later meeting Will (who still isn't comfortable saying "I'm gay" or whatever form he's decided on- HE'S YOUNG. They're teens, still figuring themselves out, including the labels they pick) where he is and saying "You're my brother and no matter what I will have your back and love you" was important for both of them? Absolutely.

Do I think the fandom expectation that Mike and Will would suddenly become boyfriends is realistic? No. Absolutely not. Mike has had a great big crush on El since day one. His friends are important to him, but as you get older you fumble through balancing friendships with romantic relationships, and sometimes your friends fall to the wayside as you go through that very first love.

Mike got some cardboard development in S4, I'll give it that. But at no point did he show the same development of queer feelings the way Will does. He has been obsessed with El from day one, and Will's crush on Mike has been developed over several seasons. A crush on a straight best friend isn't unheard of. Especially for Will, when that straight best friend has literally helped save his life multiple times.

Is it tired? Yes. There could have been something with Will realizing he needed to move on from those feelings for Mike, and maybe even an incredibly uncomfortable "I love you, but not like that" conversation instead of the "El (I) need/s you" one? Yes.

But it's being put into the same category with Steve and Eddie- both who have only ever shown interest in women- and Robin and Nancy. Robin knows who she wants. She is solid in that. (Yeah, we didn't need the boyfriend bit, but Robin was also looking outside of the personal angst she and Steve had been feeling for their relationships and to the bigger picture and becoming a hero for people that might hate her if they knew her real self, much like Eddie.) And Nancy has never once shown interest in women. She's perpetually been the top point of a het love triangle since day one, and will (and should) probably drop all the boys for her journalism career.

Some of it was handled sloppy re: Will. But expecting all the canonically straight characters to go "lol, psych, super gay" is unrealistic and bad writing. Yeah, Will deserved a love interest that loves him back, but he's been in love with Mike for most of his adolescence and that takes time to move on from.

👑 Sworn Partners ⚔️ 

(ID: Kirby series fanart of King Dedede and Meta Knight being cute and in love. Top panel - bust shot of DDD scooping MK up into his arms, smooshing the flustered knight against him in a great big hug as a little flurry of hearts bursts from them. Middle panel - bust shot of DDD holding MK in his arms, gazing down at him with an easy grin as the knight pushes his mask to the top of his head, a fond smile on his face as he gazes back. Bottom panel - bust shot of DDD and MK leaning in together to meet in a kiss, eyes closed and faces flushed, the king holding his knight tighter, the knight gently cupping his king’s cheek. More little hearts hover around them, the biggest just above their heads. In all panels, DDD's crown and MK's armor are - as usual - touched with white highlights and dusted with sparkles. END ID.)

I think one of my “favorite” things is when people misinterpret what it means to be aroace. Watching people so clearly not understand the complexity behind the spectrum of aromatic and asexuality and then proceed to say they “stand with” aroace as an ally is so hilarious to me. Especially when they use this to start bashing on a perfectly fine ship, especially because said ship gets in the way of theirs.

Aroace does not mean no attraction. The plastered poster face for it is people who don’t feel ANY types of attraction, but that does not mean everyone. Aromantic people can date and fall in love. Asexual people can fuck. Aroace people can do both.

Yes, aroace rep IS needed. But we still have it via Luffy—just because Luffy kisses someone (hypothetically) doesn’t mean we just yeeted the aroace label off of him. He is STILL aroace. You know who else is aroace? Bon Clay, for one. Zoro as well. Yet I don’t see people screaming that shipping Zoro with someone completely erases the aroace label, now do I?

Ugh, I’d totally make a whole ass essay about this, but it’s half till midnight. It’s just. Been on my mind for a few hours and I need to say a little shit

#iykyk #zolu #I got so worked up reading that one post lol #as someone who used to not ship zolu because Luffy felt aroace to me I found it hilarious #while also quite insulting #says someone started bashing on a ship that’s done literally nothing wrong #plus they also started bashing on zonami and said it’s because Zoro’s canonically gay #like ??? no??? he isn’t??? #“never explicitly said but heavily implied” is ridiculous really #Zoro is Zoro. he is a fictional character who is up to interpretation until the original creator states otherwise #also the “straightwashing Sanji” comment had me dead I’m sorry #like did we WATCH the same anime/live action? #sanji’s been straight from the start. if anything opla made him less straight with all those soft looks he was giving Luffy #like dudes bi at most #but truly Zoro is so aroace to me #that dude has nothing on his mind but being the best swordsman #booze #and making sure his captain doesn’t die like #seriously. people need to understand that aroace is much more complex than they think it is #oh and yes #we definitely need more non-dating aroace rep

I'm rewatching all the Marvel Defenders shows on Netflix and as much as I mock the MCU now, I need non-Marvel fans to understand that I was and still am a fan of "Daredevil fighting the gentrifying assshole who bought out the police force because ACAB both as a lawyer and vigilante of the community" and "Jessica Jones fighting the man who mind controlled her into doing unspeakable things and forming a community of fellow survivors and allies while dealing with PTSD in a range of both healthy and unhealthy ways" Marvel. God I love these idiots they carried so hard

i want it all

rated M | 1k | bucktommy

Tommy kisses him and his first thought isn’t I don’t understand what I’m feeling. His first thought is oh, this feeling is being attracted to men. I know this feeling very well. It hits him hard. All at once he understands why, in the early days of firefighting, in his Buck 1.0 era, after a hard session at the West Hollywood gym he'd joined when he first moved to the city, surrounded by some of LA’s hottest men—working out and eyeing him in a way that Buck had thought at the time was purely competitive, purely comparing bodies and workout strategies and their effects—why he would be on Tinder, his hands shaking with desperation as he swiped right indiscriminately, before he even left the locker room; so pent up with what he thought was adrenaline but was actually lust, honest-to-god sexual frustration from watching these hot men get hotter; from watching them flex their big muscles and pant open-mouthed and loud as they ran on the treadmill and seeing them sweat through their clothing that then clung tight to their ripped bodies and catching a wink from them as they grunted and dropped weights on the floor in front of him.

{read on ao3 or below}

He gets why he never felt like he could cool down in the open showers afterward; watching through the steam as other men ran soap over their toned naked bodies and made eye contact with him, looking him up and down and letting him know in no uncertain terms that they liked what they saw; that it wasn’t a nod of appreciation from them for all the hard work he’d put in but more of a come hither, a come get this, a come and see what else our bodies can do together. He knows now why those looks would rush through his body and go right to his dick and fuel him the next day as he lifted and stretched and ran; why he felt such a deep craving to attract more and more looks from these other men.

He recognizes now that he’d leave the gym with more energy than he’d arrived with because he’d spend the whole workout in a deep haze of homoerotic tension, pushing himself harder and faster and lifting more weight just to see how many eyes he could get on him, how many winks and whistles and damns he could direct his way; how much admiration he could get from these hot guys, how much envy he could invoke in them; as measured, of course, by how many numbers he could get from guys asking to be gym buddies. It was never less than three a day. His record was ten. His phone was filled with the numbers of men he’d never called because he didn’t know at the time what it was they’d really both wanted from each other.

He can understand, now, that he never left the gym without a making sure he had a hookup with a woman lined up directly after because what he really wanted to do after marinating in overwhelming lust for an hour was fuck those gorgeous, sweaty men at the gym who looked at him like they wanted to eat him and flirted with him and got into his space and adjusted themselves in their shorts as they spotted him on the weight bench and slowly jerked themselves off in the shower across from him and asked to see him outside of the gym. He wanted that so badly and it's not like he was ever dissatisfied with the sex he had with those Tinder women—it was always good, always amazing, though never as bone-deep great as the intimacy he shared once he settled down into monogamy was—but he knows now why it never felt like it satisfied the itch he was trying to scratch.

He knows this feeling. 

He knows this feeling not just from years ago; not just from Buck 1.0 but also from before that and from Buck 2.0 and 3.0 and 4.0 and whatever he was the first time he set eyes on Tommy. He knows that feeling from the butterflies in his stomach when Tommy made fake mouth static at the fire chief; from the way he couldn't let himself look at Tommy too much while he gave him the tour of the 217, even though there was nothing in that whole hangar more worth looking at than Tommy's face; from the way he felt his breathing speed up when Tommy offered him flying lessons and his first thought was I have to spend more time alone with this guy; from the way he felt himself flush and smile when Tommy said his name and gave him a fist bump and showed off his strong arms in that cutoff sweatshirt; from the way he went all hot and sweaty in a way that had nothing to do with the heat or the exercise when he slammed his huge body into Tommy's while they played basketball and Tommy didn't even flinch, just looked at him like is that all you got?

He recognizes what it is now. Tommy kisses him and he gets it. He might be new to kissing men but he’s not new to this feeling.

It’s nothing but an absolute relief to understand where to put it after all of these years; how to categorize it and what it means about him that he feels it. He’s not secretly aggressive, he’s not overly competitive: he’s just really, really, deeply bisexual.

His eyes are all-the-way open for the first time in his life. He has a date with Tommy and he can’t wait to find out what he’s been missing out on.

buck looking back on things with a new perspective once he realises he's bi. like the night tommy went against orders and flew them through a hurricane to land on a capsized cruise ship to save their friends. maybe at the time he was impressed and thought it was cool and glad tommy was helping them, but after that kiss? well. after the kiss buck looks back on that night and thinks it's hella hot.
