Accusing people, some of whom incidentally are likely LGBT themselves, of not viewing wol///fstar as canon because they "can't read queer-coding" is the cope of the century and borders on delusional. it's also condescending and disrespectful- why is your personal analysis of a work of fiction more valid than anyone else's, particularly when that analysis is almost certainly driven by confirmation bias? Have you asked yourself whether the "signs" you think you're reading in the text are actually there or whether you just want them to be? It's fine to want them to be and to add two and two and get six, personally I've done that with many works of fiction and I will continue to do so, but objectively there's no evidence that holds up to the slightest bit of scrutiny that jkr actually intended Sirius and Remus to secretly be in love.
Leaving aside the fact for now that this is JKR we're talking about and all that entails, it honestly verges on conspiracy-brained at times. Besides that, using homophobic stereotypes as "evidence" is, to put it plainly, shit. Some of these stereotypes might seem fairly innocuous yet still manage to be offensive (e.g. "tonks is queer-coded because she has short hair/is cool/has this personality trait or physical characteristic) but others honestly cross a line. Think for a moment about the logical leap you're making when you claim that werewolves being an allegory for stigmatised illnesses like AIDS is proof that R is gay. What equivalence is being drawn here? worth thinking about
I just want to say this is a work of children's literature and we're all free to interpret whatever we want and make up whatever silly things that we want with it. But you're not smarter or more special than anyone else because you think there's a gay way to look or speak or act, or for seriously believing that JKR created some kind of mad convoluted mental backflip conspiracy to specifically fuck with what was at the time a fringe element of online fandom that she likely wasn't even aware of. Apply Occam's razor here and go with the simplest explanation, which is that JKR, a heterosexual woman, wrote a children's book in the 90s with a majority heterosexual pairings and one token gay character. From there, do whatever you want. The end

Ok SPEAKING of Michael_B I wanna say that, in my mind, Foolish Junior is the Tommy to Michael's Tubbo.
In that, like cTommy, Junior is a bit of a prankster instigator that is immovably stubborn and, like cTub, Michael is good natured but still thrives on mischief and controlled chaos. They're both spoiled but they also don't mind hard work to pull off an idea.
The two of them are more into creative pranks than destructive ones, so they'd be less likely to burn down/blow up a base and more likely to fill it with chickens and replace all the items inside with eggs (they have done this to multiple people. They threaten people that they will "egg" their house and get brushed off. Big mistake.)

American zoomers having a moral panic over 10 year olds being in the mall without parents is nuts. 'My mommy was driving me and holding my hand everywhere i went to til I was 22' 'i couldnt go anywhere on my own til I was 16!' that sounds miserable are you okay??

Pro tip from someone currently suffering an English class who somehow just had this epiphany like last night: if u are having trouble coming up with a personal experience that relates to whatever prompt you’ve been given, you can just lie. Just lie! Take pieces of various true stories that you’re willing to tell & mash them together. Or tell most of a story tht you think is useful but replace the personal parts/stuff you don’t remember with smthn else. Or just completely fucking make something up I don’t know, just stop feeling like you need to tell the whole perfect truth like a good little student who’s never had memory problems in their life for a fucking essay
