i’m just saying that if byler isn’t actually canon, the duffer brother, netflix and literally everyone involved in getting my hopes up will be reaching a new low,, and on pRIDE MONTH!?

#byler better be canon #i feel like i’m being gaslighted by the cast #and also queerbaited #i really hope im wrong tho #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #finn wolfhard #noah schnapp #stranger things #stranger things 4 #netflix #the duffer brothers

“their relationship is too deep to be sexual” what’s deeper than dick in hole. please tell me

#people missing context this was about the wwdits show runners pulling a 2012-era queerbait #and was a joke #also if you're going to send me an anon asking me why i hate ace people. miss me with your homophobia thanks

Me: It is Perfectly Normal to struggle while doing visual tasks in the dark, and fumbling while plugging in my phone is a neutral act. It has been over a decade, can you please just-

The Thing Inside My Brain:

Misha Collins is the funniest straight man ever. He’s the only person to arguably queerbait in real life. He had to come out as a straight. He was told by WB to just stay bisexual. He’s living every homophobe’s nightmare scenario but the only difference is that everyone actually loves it for him

#misha collins #also don’t argue about me about the queerbait thing I know he didn’t it’s just a fucking joke #anyway back to the funny #more straight people should honestly be like him #keep ‘em on their toes #or something #I know nothing about this man or supernatural #but I adore him #have y’all seen his feud on Tiktok with icaruspendragon? #btw someone should check on her #but it’s hilarious #I hope he loves the rest of his life by just adding fuel to the fire that is his life

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

#supernatural #dean winchester #spn #destiel #castiel #deancas #misha collins #im 20 i have been Experiencing supernatural and johnlock since i was 12 and merthur since wayy before that i have fought Wars #this is crazy #i love u hannibal i love u 911 (if u make eddie gay) #for the love of god by 'mostly headcanoned' i dont mean that it was never intentional #i am aware that they put the subtext in on purpose #they knew what they were doing #but my focus here is on the actor actually saying it because like #if its not mostly headcanoned then y was the entire cast denying it for years AND YEARS #like do yall not remember what jared and jenesn used to say #there have been many many many instances where the cast has made us feel crazy/stupid for saying anything abt destiel #im just saying TO ME its crazy that actors and creators talk so openly about these things now !!! again i was raised on merlin and sherlock #ok also im confused on the queerbaiting part #everyones saying its queer coding and not queer baiting but cant they be true at the same time ? #im not being dumb on purpose i swear im just confused #like yes dean is very much bi coded and their relationship is queer coded but if the creators deny everything #and we only get a last minute confession after 11 years #that doesnt count as queer baiting ? #someone smart explain this to me 🙏

Loki just instantly doing what mobius tells him to is driving me fucking insane.

Mobius says ‘gently’ and Loki just moves the guy out of the way. No violence at all.

Mobius says ‘go ahead’ and Loki bashes these guys into a wall. Much violence.

She’s finally living up to her true title, no not the god of mischief, Mobius’ little pet.

#this is so insane of them #also loki doing the exact opposite of what sylvie tells them to do #????? #i just love being queerbaited by disney #lokius #loki #mobius #loki series #loki season 2 #loki and mobius

I think queer stories would be better if people stopped assuming that queer representation hinges on if two characters are romantically involved at all. Like the moment you accept characters as being queer without needing romance to prove said queerness then i think we'd find ourselves with a lot more unique, nuanced, and interesting queer stories. but by limiting queerness to only romance you are stifling queer stories.

#text #queer #lgbtq+ #lgbt #lgbt+ #lgbtqia #lgbtqia+ #you can't get mad at the idea of cookie cutter queer stories while also saying that it's 'queerbaiting' if two characters dont kiss. #this isn't just in reference to aspec identities or gender identities either #I think a character can still be valid gay representation without ever kissing someone to prove it #a bi person doesn't need to kiss both boys and girls to be valid bi rep #there are more ways to express and share queer identity that dont require a love plot to be tacked on to validate the queerness #don't relegate the queer experience to only love stories. they can be so much more than that. #romance mention

something about the new popular shows seems awfully familiar to me hmmmm.....

#it's the beginning of a new era #an era without mass queerbaiting #also the way david tennant transcends time and is now a vital member of both trios #good omens #what we do in the shadows #our flag means death #supernatural #doctor who #sherlock #superwholock #also this is not hate i am/have been in the fandoms for all 6 shows and i have very fond memories of all of them

I don't know when everyone somehow collectively forgot the actual definition of queerbaiting but like... yall know queerbaiting was never about REAL PEOPLE'S actual identities right? It's about the MEDIA they put out.

Queerbaiting is when media hints that there will be queer rep to lure in a queer audience with no intention of ever delivering on that rep.

Queerbaiting is NOT when a celebrity experiments with gender or sexuality without coming out. They are allowed to explore!

Queerbaiting is NOT when an author writes a queer book without explicitly stating they share the same sexual or gender identity!

Queer media is NOT queerbaiting just because you don't know the creator's sexuality or assigned gender at birth!

Is the media explicitly queer? Then it's not queerbaiting! Simple as that! No one owes you an explanation of their own identity, full stop.

#queerbaiting #god I'm so tired of this debate #also real people can't queerbait you about their own fucking identity jesus christ

i can't believe the show about characters being gay and problematic won't let the characters be gay and problematic

#yes this is about nandor and guillermo and the latest interview #i mena it's fine i won't tell the writers how to write their show #but also it felt so much like they were preparing them to be the next pam and jim #don't be mad at me for sowing what YOU planted #the show is still queer and gay and amazing but i feel kinda “queerbaited” ngl? shipbaited? #just the reasoning being he's his boss like the characters haven't canonically done worse #AND them not being in such unbalanced position anymore #foggy thoughts #still love the show #just a little disappointed #maybe it's just easier for the continuity idk #nandermo #wwdits

Something about Loki leaving Mobius to follow Sylvie in S1 and now Loki letting Sylvie go to stay with Mobius in season S2

#Marvel #MCU #Disney+ #Loki #Loki S2 #Mobius #Lokius #Deep down I know I'm being queerbaited by Marvel in the year of our Lord 2023 #But I also don't care anymore #I'll ship who I want to ship gaddamnit #The video is janky as hell #but it'll have to do

the idea that there can only be one queer person (+ an outside love interest) in tv shows/movies is so stupid and unrealistic

like besties,,,, we flock like ducks

if there’s one, there’s another ten

in the last seven years of my life (age 12-19) my best friend (at the time) came out and there was like a ripple effect, now i’m a lesbian and friends w more queer people than cishet people

i was gonna say i need a show with a Token Straight Friend™️ but that’s literally tao in heartstopper

#this was inspired by supercorp #they were so gay for eachother #it’s not even funny #of every non-canon/queerbaited ship they had the most chemistry #you can’t change my mind #hizzie is also high up there #and merthur of course #but SUPERCORP #lgbtq+ #lgbtqia #merthur #hizzie #heartstopper #tao xu heartstopper

this one goes out to ME IN 2016 or whenever!

#star vs the forces of evil #svtfoe #svtfoe fanart #tomco #tom lucitor #marco diaz #years later and i still don't know how to draw tom's dumb hair #THEY USED TO BE MY EVERYYYYTHING I TELL YOU #baby's first queerbait? #maybe idk! #been in my annual mood of feeling like rewatching the entire show but also rly not wanting to #also i am sorry to my neighbors bc i didn't realize my windows were open when i was singing too little too late earlier today </3
