#but my god this fictional man is very casually jabbing at my very real issues with a hot poker

[hella1975]

I just know this chapter is going to drag my internalised homophobia out by the ankle and kick its teeth in like me and zuko are going to be having a conjoint sexuality crisis

no it's so fucking funny bc yes the whole reason there's an internalised homophobia arc in taob to begin with is bc i wrote the plot-outline literally when i was still saying i was straight and now im like comfortably bisexual and then i started writing this chapter and i was like OoooHOOhooohooo this is kinda.... dammmnnnnn..... shit yeah okay.....

#u ever forget that as a marginalised identity u always have some level of internalised shit #like i forget it's not just a ticky box where you can wake up one day and go 'wow im normal about this now!' #like no bitch society has been teaching you to hate yourself far longer than you have been trying to unhate yourself #anyway kanut is gonna make me cry he's going so hard in this little end speech #i automatically want to make a joke out of gay shit in fandom spaces bc it's the whole 'these are my gay blorbos' deal #but my god this fictional man is very casually jabbing at my very real issues with a hot poker #'i have read about love a thousand times over in a thousand different stories and it never looks like me' :/// #ask #taob asks
