my favourite sexuality for comic book characters to be is "we made this other character canonically queer because of their relationship with them but for some reason they are still canonically straight"

like wade wilson? mostly canonically queer because of the period where he was married to cable. he was in a queer relationship, so we have to just make him canonically queer. (Yes I know it's not the only reason, I have read all his extremely camp early 00s comics, but lets be real they'd have kept insisting that was all just a joke if it wasn't for Cable and Deadpool).

cable? definitely straight. 100% straight. obviously cable is straight. his relationship with wade is only gay during the & Deadpool, in the Cable part of the book it's very straight. He stands next to a woman sometimes, that's how you can tell it's not gay.

Kitty has, finally, been allowed to come out, but for like a decade, Illyana was canon queer because she dated Kitty, but Kitty was definitely straight and would never date a woman, and no one at marvel thought there was anything weird about that.

[Image Description: a very straight character, interacting with another straight character, in a very believably straight way]

Marvel has way more of these, mostly by virtue of having more queer characters and also chris clairmont (you can never understate the impact of chris clairmont in these matters) but Tim Drake and Kon Kent spring to mind from DC.

I think you could even make a solid argument that 616 Tony and Steve are that, given Tony is out now and Steve, somehow, still isn't.

anyway you don't really get these in any other medium, because they require multiple writers who all wildly disagree with one another to all write the same characters to happen, but i love them, and as much as I want Cable and Kon to come out, I kind of hope this never stops happening in comics, it's just never not funny.

#am i right in thinking one of boostle got to come out and not the other one recently? #i'm not that up on non bat dc stuff recently #anyway please leave your suggestions for other examples in the comments #and don't get mad about the ID #I did an actual ID as alt text #that one's just a joke #cablepool #kitty pryde #what's kitty and illyana's ship name? #i feel like i should know but i don't #timkon #616 stony #these are my favourite comics specific sexualities #and 'this character is just straight up queer but as long as we never say the words on panel no they aren't' is my second #your mystiques and your wolverines #and then finally #in the trifecta of terrible queer rep that i adore #you have 'this character is canonically straight but the fandom universally rejects that to the point of genuinely forgetting it's canon' #which is where gambit and roy harper live #gambit has never done anything that gay on panel that i know of #at least not by the standards of the x-men #he just has the strongest bi vibes you've ever seen #i genuinely forget he isn't bi 90% of the time

The comfort and care Kitty shows Rachel just warms my heart.

Excalibur (1988) #1

#she's just so patient with Rachel and I can't help but adore them #I know that Rachel is currently with Betsy but I need Marvel to confirm that she and Kitty had romantic feelings for each other years prior #considering Rachel and Kitty are now both canonically queer #like look at them #rachel x kitty #kitty x rachel #rachel grey #rachel summers #rachel grey summers #phoenix #kitty pryde #shadowcat #excalibur #marvel #marvel comics #comic series #my post

kinda want the netflix writers to spite the homophobes and biphobes and make min ho bi next season

#or dae idrc but they’d be more pissed ab min ho #xo kitty #min ho #‘theyre forcing the gay agenda’ bitch this is like. the third very clearly canon bi girl i’ve seen #(there’s also lok but less clear) #like. oh my gosh let people be bisexual #and i would get it if people took more issue with other aspects of the show (which i can’t comment on considering my background) #but no. it’s that a girl can swing both ways. ugh. #so yeah make min ho bi season 2. don’t care if he does or doesn’t end up with kitty just let bi people exist #like half of my high school friend group was #bc also!!! queers tend to flock together. it makes sense if one of the other guys is queer

You know you're reading to many x-men comics when when you start spelling pride (the gay parade) as Pryde (the gay x-man)

#I know she's not canonically gay #unless you count that random kiss #with the girl who looked suspicously like Illyana #but she is queer to me #x-men #marvel #kitty pryde

can i get some uhhhhh queer ships on this blog because the fact is i have like one i actively get to write and it's not that i don't love all my ships but i'm a sad lesbian, friends.

#ooc. your local bodega kat. #[like 1000000% not a criticism to ANYONE it's just inescapable when i'm like 'all my main/popular ships are hetpassing' which is zero fault #of anyone involved because just who you write with #and the general chemistry. ....but alana literally canonically married and had a baby with a woman. the love of kitty's life was #technically a woman. trish has literally never loved anyone who wasn't j.jones and i don't even need to keep talking. #it's just an endless list and i don't have near enough queer ships but also.... don't get me started on the treatment of trans characters. #or trans characters who aren't -strictly a transman or a transwoman-. idk i'm just having a shitty mental health day. #i'm just bummed and gay and transmasc and that's all.] #negative / #venting / #[like yes i have been SO INACTIVE but i don't think i need to discuss the rpc's real life mirror tendencies to favor het ships.]

had a dream about an episode where robin was confirmed canon trans got mad when i woke up

#/hj #i did have that dream but canon doesnt matter its what matters in my heart #robin #like there was. something in the house and allison had to explain the flag and he was like oh like me lol #and everyone was shocked and then trying to be super sensitive and supportive and stuff but like?? its been 400000 #years?? he does not care one bit didnt even know they thought it was different in modern times. he gets to give another wise lecture #fanny gets a whole arc in the course of an episode about accepting peoples differences and loving your family while robin is fuckin around #kitty is probably like. Oh wow What if im trans! Maybe thomas too. julian knew already. For reasons (WHO SAID THAT!!!) #oh we are a bit past the actual dream now these are just expanded thoughts #bbc would never air this obviously but it lives in my heart. Maybe i write a fic.. who knows #tbh tho i have queer genderfucked headcanons for all the characters so …

Having a bisexual/queer character canonically have feelings for two people and in the end choosing to be honest about it with their partner when they realize those feeling will not go away, and doing all that without making them cheat... I'm sending kisses to the writers of XO kitty 😘😘😘😘

#xo kitty spoilers #xo kitty #kitty x yuri #THANK YOU #I can't anymore with the cheating bi ppl in the media #bisexuality

[khamomile-kitty]

seeing stupid takes in the fandom today. im biting you and kicking you and scratching you and biting you and

#‘he’s not gay coded he’s queer coded! he could be bi!’ #*looks at the character describing himself w a slang term meaning ‘gay man’* #‘looks at the very clear straightwashing bc Japan does not like having canon gay protagonists in mainstream media’ #*looks at the way this character is written and the context surrounding many of the choices in his arcs’ #*looks at the fact that all of his male relationships in the show are played differently than his relationships to women #even with the straightwashing* #ok. guess we watched a different show or smth. #kitty talks

[kookies2000]

Because I'm seeing people confuse Puss for being Mexican.

Puss was born and raised in Spain, and his actor is Spanish. Hence making Puss Spanish, not Latino.

As for Kitty, considering her quinceañera line and her actress being Mexican, she is Mexican by canon.

And if we're gonna go the route of the characters being the same as their actors. Perrito is Mexican as well. And his actor is queer which explains why I kept getting queer vibes from him. 🤣

If you want to know why Antonio played a Mexican in the 1990s, it's because of colorism. Yes, some Mexicans think white skin is better and that dates back to the time Spaniards colonized Mexico.

#puss in boots: the last wish #puss in boots #just thought I say something #just to avoid fights in the future #i don't want this fandom to become toxic

[sapphicisland]

There are a few things that irritate me about the way sapphic ships are treated in fandom spaces so I'm gonna rant about it:

First off I hate when fans pretend to ship a sapphic pairing because they want to get the girl from the hetero pairing out of the way of their mlm pairing. I'm looking at you merthur, jegulus, byler and steddie shippers. The thing is if they actually shipped the sapphic ship I wouldn't mind, make everyone gay it's better that way. The problem is when I click on the tab of the sapphic ship looking for some nice fics and see 600 works with 99 percent of them being background blink and you miss it mentions/appearances. I thought the reason the straight ship didn't work was because you just love this one sapphic pairing but I'm not seeing a lot of love right now.

My second gripe is with people who try to devalue sapphic ships saying they're just best friends, looking at you wenclair antis. First off people have been shipping best friends since the beginning of time whether they be two guys or a guy and a girl but when its two girls suddenly it's a problem. This also applies to the people always bugging catglass shippers like kitty isn't canonically bi with a crush on yuri. Which wasn't random stop saying that. However this is actually an example of the first point but switched around with people pretending to love yuri and her gf to get yuri out of the way so kitty and minho can happen but that's another conversation.

My third one may actually with the community why is it that two male characters who never once interact in canon can get over 20k fics but canon wlw ships fight to reach 5000? And when we do make similar ships to the ones I just mentioned they literally never leave tumblr. You guys will make 100s of memes and edits about ships but when I get to ao3 it's a wasteland.

The final one for now is how we can't seem to have more than one popular ship at a time like the stranger things fandom has three popular mlm ships coexisting but we can only have one and for some reason the queer bait ship always beats the canon one like wenclair vs yokovina why can't we have both. For the love of god someone write a solo yokovina fic I'll take a one-shot at this point.

Anyways....We need to do better people.

im sorry but if they wanted me to root for wednesday’s relationship with any of the boys they should’ve just given them personalities as quirky and eccentric as enid’s. this girl will pass out at the sight of blood but will fully wolf out to save the goth girl she’s clearly imprinted on as a fucking dog. she won’t give up on wednesday even though wednesday never entirely reciprocates enid’s enthusiasm and friendliness. she says bitches and bestie in canon. she’s a literal walking queer flag like hello her sweater with the lesbian colors her hair with the trans colors and her nails with the pan colors. she has mommy issues and can’t stand to be alone and she’s also the most cheerful person in the room and nevermore’s queen of gossip. she refers to herself as a fucking kitty. she calls her girlfriends “ladies”. (okay lesbian). she actively winks at wednesday knowing full well she might lose a limb. if anyone’s going to end up with wednesday at all it will be enid “SHUT UP MOM GET OUT OF MY HEAD” sinclair.

#wednesday spoilers #enid sinclair #wednesday addams #wenclair #SO SORRY FOR MY RANT I JUST LOVE HER YOUR HONOR #sorry the.... the boys were actually really boring #i liked xavier more than tyler. a lot more. but. xavier is still pretty meh #and actually to me they had awfully similar personalities it was just the delivery of the actors that made them a little different... #misc.txt

The girlies really will use any opportunity to teach each other. I swear, they just can't stop hugging each other or holding hands. So in love, I swear.

Meet The New Mods

Thank you very much for the warm welcome! To begin we’d like to say a very big thank you to mods Pan and Claire, as well as Jo, Marie and Kat, for their hard work in creating and continuing the event for six years — especially with how big the community has become! We have a momentous job ahead of us when it comes to modding the community and running the event as well as they did, but we are determined and up for the challenge.

So perhaps it’s time to introduce ourselves:

I’ve participated in Whumptober for a few years, although I never finished. I’m a writer who can’t write fluff to save my life; if a character isn’t going through some kind of trauma in canon I’ll make it happen in fanfic. I live with an old blind mini poodle and intense imposter syndrome. I used to mod communities on Livejournal (fandom OLD) and I’m really excited to be a part of the new mod team. Please feel free to follow and interact with me!

I've been lurking in the whump community since 2017, and have been a whump enthusiast for as long as I can remember (seriously, all of my original characters have to had some sort of whumpy backstory). I’ve been a loyal Whumptober completionist since 2018, and have written my fair share of angst for a variety of whumpees and OCs.This is my first time being a part of a mod team, and I am really thrilled to be a part of such a big event! I look forward to working on this project and interacting with the wider community.

Hello everyone! Those in the Whumptober discord may know me as being a mod there since last year, but if not, then hi! I have been a completionist for Whumptober every year since 2019, and it’s safe to say that the event quickly became one of my favourite times of year. I’ve been a fan of whump since well before I knew what it was, so it’s been amazing to find a community filled with so many like-minded, wonderful people creating such fantastic (and evil ;)) works. I’m so excited to be a part of the team, and I am looking forward to seeing what everyone creates this year.

Hiya! I’ve mainly lurked in the whump community for a while, across several different blogs. I was a Whumptober completionist in 2021 on an old blog, but I haven’t completed it since! I mainly write OC whump, with more focus on emotional suffering compared to the physical elements. Outside of whump, I volunteer and run a wildlife rehabilitation unit, work in retail and keep the ADHD goblin in my head happy by cycling through an endless list of other hobbies like graphic design, wildlife photography and traveling for gigs. I’m really looking forward to helping put together Whumptober this year and being a part of it!

Round 3 - Catholic Character Tournament

firestar art by @kudossi

Propaganda below ⬇️

Firestar

NOTE: I have to note that Firestar is kitty Anglican NOT kitty Catholic

Kitty jesus, he believes in starclan which is the kitty version of heaven/god and yea. All the warrior cats characters except those outside the clans or those that are atheist believe in the kitty heaven and would irl be bri-ish and christian as hell so. The authors are all older british christian women and so the way starclan is written is like undoubtedly that.

The main religion in the series is extremely catholic coded. Most clan cats believe in Starclan and the Dark Forest(or heaven and hell). There is a set of rule they must uphold and follow, where following them leads to heaven and breaking them leads to hell. Their religious leaders are sworn to celibacy, and the punishments that "code breakers"(or cats who break the rules) face are extremely similar to situations people with religious trauma have gone through.

OP notes: apparently converted to avoid getting his balls cut?? Idk. The discord yet wild for firestar so I had to include him because it's hilarious hehehe

OP new notes: I have learned so much about warrior cats. Do yourself a favor and go down this tag and see the Firestar discourse.

Harrowhark

I'm pretty sure you've already got plenty of submissions for her so I'll just say she was raised in what is basically a cult (technically a nunnery but let's be real) dedicated to keeping the body of the thing that will kill God behind the rock. One of their prayers is actually "I pray the rock is never rolled away". Harrow is extremely devout as penance for her earlier heretical actions in the tomb as a child (spoiler!) so the Catholic guilt really comes through

imagine being a catholic nun and you meet god, but it turns out he’s a twitch streamer from new zealand who became god because everything got a little bit out of hand. and just before you met him you gave yourself a diy grief-fuelled lobotomy with the help of your best frenemy. imagine how insane you’d be. now multiply that insanity by nine. that’s the fictional love of my life right there.

she meets god. she’s not inspired

she’s number one practitioner of space Catholicism. The locked tomb is chock full of Christian (catholic) imagery themes metaphors etc. just look at her she’s got a bone rosary

They're Catholicism with extra bones. Everyone is a nun. They have what is basically a rosary made from knuckle bones. They technically worship the same God as everyone else, but they're waaaay more focused on The Body in the Tomb (Mary) and we get a moment where we find out that while everyone else prays the equivilent of The Lords Prayer, they're doing the equivilent of Hail Mary. And they paint their faces with skulls.

She thinks leaving dry bread in a drawer is taking care of someone. She's in love with a 10,000 year old corpse (the same one they worship). She spent ALL NIGHT digging with her bare hands to make sure a field had bones every 5 feet so she could fight her girlfriend - I mean, greatest enemy. Spoiler territory: She's been puppeting her parents corpses since she was 8 years old. Instead of grieving her dead girlfriend, she gives herself a lobotomy. She makes soup with bone in it so she can use the bone IN THEIR STOMACH to try and kill them.

The author is/was Catholic and the entire series had heavy Catholic overtones. https://www.tor.com/2020/08/19/gideon-the-ninth-young-pope-and-the-new-pope-are-building-a-queer-catholic-speculative-fiction-canon/ A good breakdown of how it's Catholic

Anti-propaganda (spoilers)

I love the Locked Tomb series but Harrowhark has daddy issues with God, had a childhood crush on God's cryogenic partner, and is in love with God's daughter, not to mention that she's essentially a bone-bender. The religion on her home planet exists in a way that is technically against the will of the canon in-universe God, even. All of this to say, Harrowhark is heretical at minimum if not an outright witch. Terrible Catholic. Burn her.
