ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story

#you know. the one with the pendulum #'hey. why are you as an allo person shipping this aspec character like this' #'oh aspec people can still date/have sex!' #'yeah. now can you answer the question that i actually asked you' #like goddamn just say you don't care they're aspec and you want to fulfill a sexual/romantic fantasy with them. that's Fine #it like. sucks. for sure. lotta aspec people will be unhappy with you. but everyone is entitled to their own wants and experiences. #but i'd prefer you just be honest with it rather than using our community's conversation points as retroactive justification #and ONCE AGAIN. you guys are real fucking cavalier with this shit and it shows a real fundamental lack of respect for aspecs #when most of you would NEVER ship a canonically gay character with the 'other' gender. cause again. it would suck. #you can do it. nobody's Stopping you. but it would suck. #and we understand that putting a queer character in situations that erase that queerness is shitty! until it comes to aspec characters! #and whoa... there it is again... people don't consider aspec identities to be queer... crazy how it always comes back to that #anyway. you all know what i'm talking about. have seen many posts about this lately #it is [ long sigh ] unfortunately a very hot button issue with the advent lately of alastor hazbinhotel #which. again. god i wish there were other canon aspec characters to be having this conversation about. #but we'll have to do our best with what we have #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #aroace #talking #aspec #asexual #asexuality

So I’m gonna say something crazy… but have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe… and hear me out… the core four group in the show about “outcasts and wierdos” ISN’T supposed to have a straight-white-able-bodied-all-american male that people from that group can easily project on to? That maybe the straight-white-male audience might have to contend with the fact that they find relatability in characters who are black, disabled, or gay? That MAYBE there isn’t supposed to be this pov character that easily fits into these conventions that they’ve been so used to seeing in popular media but that’s also kind of the point?

#re: last post about dustin and mike #mike can still be the pov chara and he can also be gay #but dustin can be the relatable straight guy and still be disabled #its funny how mike is touted as the ‘all-american’ one when the sinclair sibs are literally more vocally patriotic than mike #but the reason people dont want to see them that way is because fill in the blank #furthermore someone can find relatability with any of the party and they dont have to be exactly like them #if a straight guy find relatability in mike it doesnt make that guy gay #but if you really adamently do not want to relate to characters who are queer #black or disabled then maybe you should ask why that is #stranger things #byler #<- target audience #will byers #dustin henderson #mike wheeler #lucas sinclair

i Do Not Trust people who make Mary the bad guy in their stories when the show went out of its way to specifically show us how she was suffering just as much as stede was in their marriage and that shes, yknow, a good person

#mary is specifically framed in a sympathetic light in all of her appearances. the show switches to following her narrative so we can see #how much better her new life is for her too!!! like yes she tries to kill stede but we are shown in the narrative WHY she makes that choice #and that she struggles with it and we see stede understanding this too! he supports her decisions and her new life and is happy for her!!! #at no point are we shown anything that makes mary a bad person or bad mother- honestly i generally like mary far more than stede anyway #but even if you dont you should be able to acknowledge... that if u make her the bad guy??? w. what did you take away from the show?? #idk it has the vibes of. the girl character all the fans hate because she gets in the way of their precious little gay ship #or whatever. you know what i mean #ofmd #our flag means death #mary bonnet #mary allamby bonnet #everyone whos a mary hater is also an izzy hater bc theyre coded the same character type. betrayed wives my beloved #(this is a joke.) #uh. this might be one to add in the tags on again sorry gang i have too many thoughts

[bingqiv]

quick question. but what is it with the trend to turn canon gay relationships into a m/f ship in fanfiction. like that lowkey feels homophobic?

#just wanted to find a cute bingqiu fic and i’m finding a few where they genderswap one of the characters #like there’s how much media with cishet ships and you want to take some of the few canon gay ones? #like it just feels iffy #and this is a trend that i keep seeing especially in mxtx ff #like no hate (maybe a little judgment) #this is like a general question because surely you can just au a cishet fic if you like the tropes or whatever #mxtx #svsss #tgcf #mdsz #bingqiu #hualian #wangxian

hate it more than anything when people are like "[character] doesn't deserve [person/thing] because they are/have [mental disability/symptoms of a mental disability]" like damn at least try to pretend you aren't ableist please and thank you.

#. . . obviously this is about fitz #but also about so many other characters too #kotlc #fitz vacker #kotlc fitz #somehow i ended up digging up the iconic “Just because your gay doesnt mean Sophie is!!!” post #besides the obvious cringe just. the way the anon talked about people with anger issues . . . #like wow let's tell all people with this one mental disability that they never deserve to have a partner because of their disability! #totally not ableist at all! #and he doesn't even canonically have anger issues i can only imagine how much worse this must be for characters that canonically do #villainizing a mental disability like that and making it out to be a sign that someone is automatically bad if they have it is just. #yikes

having the hc that minato is ace is incredibly funny sometimes when you think about how ryoji is oh so very bi because it's like. "ah. death stole my ability to be attracted to people," in the same way that ryoji stole minato's eye color and energy level. like wow, thanks ryoji, you just keep finding things to steal from minato!

#persona 3 spoilers #minato arisato #hc and au nonsense #lizzy speaks #happy international asexuality day to my fellow aces out there i hope you know that you are loved!!! 🎊🎉🥳 #i like viewing minato with the lens of him being gay / ace. esp bc it stems from my own experiences so it's fun to look at- #him from that perspective even if that's not what was intended by atlus y'know? #and im sure others have other hcs from me that are informed by their own life experiences and i think that's great ^_^ #something that i found interesting while playing FES was how. stilted? minato's animations felt when hugging the girls #you could definitely go with the perspective that it's a graphical limitation or they didn't have time to polish the animations #and that's def true!! but sometimes i see the hug @ yakushima beach + the other hugs and then i compare it to the sou/yo hug in p4 #and there's like... a noticeable difference to me with how intimate and close together the hugs are... #that said i do know that the animations for reload are updated and the hugs are much more natural (good on them tbh!) #the other thing is (pensive sigh). the way you couldn't reject any of the girls when doing their social links in FES #objectively speaking i'm glad that they did away with that and i like how the rejections were handled in reload. it feels naturally written #but also a part of me enjoyed looking at the “hey atlus what the FUCK” moment and thought of how to interpret it differently #specifically with the idea of minato having like.. little to no autonomy and kind of going along with the relationship #it kind of reminded me of myself tbh with like going along with the rship without considering what you want bc #it's what others want or expect out of you... LOL. i dont think atlus intended for someone to interpret it this way but #eh i think that's the fun part of hcs and looking at characters with certain lenses! #regardless of how you perceive minato i do think there's something to be said about him being the kind of guy who molds himself- #into someone that is needed. not wanted. but needed. important distinction here. #the one caveat my brain runs into when im like “minato is ace!” is when i remember thanatos exists and i go #“you know what these ideas can exist simultaneously” GKLHFHDFHD when in doubt schrodinger's headcanons #anyway that's all i've had this thought in my brain in awhile and haven't sat down to share it properly until now 👍 #have an excellent weekend everyone !!! lizzy loves you all lets all nurture our inner yippee!!! 🥺💙

#someone in the tags of a post [I can't remember which or I'd have put it in the caption] #said Tuvok is like those male english/history teachers that you're convinced are gay until they drop the fact that they have a wife and kid #that's all I was thinking as I drew this HEHEHE #Professor Tuvok/Young Dad can have longer hair as a treat #his hair does not grow downward - he's using products clips and accessories #bea art tag #happy Tuvok Tuesday <3 #Tuvok #st voy #st voyager #star trek voyager #apparently (memory beta) the institute is located in Xen'tal which is on the outskirts of Gol #and the institute is really more for ceremonial practice and honing discipline since Vulcans have cast away violence & most of what's taugh #doesn't do much good if your enemy has - say - a phaser #but anyway all this to say it's a very small one-horse type of town with nothing much to do and I think that makes a lot of sense for Tuvok #imagine you're Sek and you grow up in Xen'tal and then one day your dad's like guys we're going to space #It's fun to imagine Tuvok's oldest thinking of him primarily as a professor while his youngest thinks of him primarily as Starfleet #Tuvok's kids bored out of their mind trying to think of something to do while wandering around town <3 #Good image!! #It's fun to think of your favorite characters' pre-canon lives! #I like how even though Tuvok decided to raise a family rather than work in the temple he still has monk tendencies #he's so ascetic <3

N*loth is literally prime NPD representation and that's just how it is. Dat's just how i feel . if iiiiiii hear anyhing ab him needing to be humbled or put in his place i'll just tear my hair out right here and match his look. not even trying to lift him up or defend him i'm just defending the mentally ill skajrim characters nobody wants to understand,

#text #literally sick to my stomach from people sayin that shit omfg #no i'm exaggerating but be serious #my sk*rim NPD trifecta is n*loth + s*ddgeir + m*raak #s*ddgeir is the one you all should be humbling cause he's just gay (derogatory)) and materialistic #i swear n*loth didn't do anythign to any of you people he doesn't even like fancy stuff even tho he has the bag #people see a smart bih with a rocket science degree and just wanna say she needs to be '' '' put in her place '' ''' #my hyper sk*rim character rambling. .. but seriously tho... #i think 2 this site its: traumatized character = 'sad wet cat' #intimidating woman = 'MAMA DOM' #and character with blown out ego = 'actually pathetic' #like i'll start swinging idc #m*raak is a good personification of NPD cause he doesn't wanna believeee there's someone better than him in his 'skill' #notice how he's Always throwing shit on U for no reason #he's so mad. lols #the entire DB DLC is about m*raak's NPD and how it consumed him. very artistic.. #but n*loth i find to be extremely realistic even in the little things #how his NPD isn't an escape from anything but just pillars of his existence #+how his ego doesn't help w/ not caring about wat others think about him.. he neeeeds that validation to feel good 2 #but not to survive. his Ego can carry him on it's own #i'll defend n*loth's mental illnesses with my life idrc abt m*raak's diagnosis tho just cause he annoys me from the gameplay LMFAO BYE #if i sound crazy when i post shid likethis it's cause you don't LOVE sk*rim like i do.........rubbing my temples

name a line more iconic than "nigel, darling- oh hello- there's been a bit of a spillage" you cant.

#the six idiots just being casually queer all the time will never not shock me #especially in the wake of paul 'that's his boss' simms and his bullshit #like. how easy it can be. #and how committed they are to making their queer characters just as big of freaks as the straight people #like yeah they're two heads sticking out a weird blob and one of them is the oracle #and you literally only see them in one episode #AND they're gay. what of it? #ben willbond queer character count 2 #that weird jester with the little puff balls as debbie walks through the square counts. to me. #wait are we counting vex. bc then it's 3. and it's episode 1 #yonderland

Because I am a big fan of tender Hannibal but do also believe that his manipulation and medical malpractice in regards to Will is something that is important went looking at their relationship, here’s what I (at 11:12 pm) think Hannibal was thinking throughout the show (yes I left off the end of S3, I’m very tired.)

- Hannibal meets Will and is OBSESSED

- Realises Will is way too bitchy and into the whole crime fighting/solving thing to accept him for who he truly is

- Sees Will’s potential and decides the only reasonable thing to do is to manipulate him and let him almost die from encephalitis

- Falls even harder when Will tries to have him killed, would do anything for that man

- Will won’t elope with him so he gets gently spritzed with a water bottle (stabbed and his pseudo daughter killed in front of him)

- Broods in Florence for a while

- Sees Will and instantly decides he will once again do anything for that man because he has absolutely got separation anxiety and if Will won’t play ball then Hanni will just have to get arrested so Will knows exactly where he is when he’s ready (willing to elope with him)

#I also think it is perfectly acceptable to look at how Will may or may not have been repressing parts of his identity #especially in season one #and I also think it’s perfectly fine #to project onto characters #because they’re characters #and #like #not real people #it’s okay to see a character you identify with and project onto them #idk dude I just feel like the crimes and cannibalism fandom has got kinda gatekeepy and overly hostile lately #let’s just let people engage with media the way they want to #you can say that you don’t understand something #or prefer something else #without booing everyone who thinks/does something #not saying that pointing out harmful stereotypes is bad #but like #a lot of this is just dumb shit or differences in interpretation #of the weird kalidescope gay cannibalism cooking show #hannibal #hannibal nbc #hannibal lecter #hannigram

i think honestly what irritates me about yoshidas work SO much is that people will tell you that banana fish is THE gay manga (ignoring the many things that came before it and were more groundbreaking, ie MW literally having on screen (or like. on panel but still.) gay sex in it and that came out like a decade before BF did) when there really isn't barely any gay rep outside of the pedophiles and the one time ash drops the f slur. like im sorry but somehow yasha, a work she wrote in 1996, has more gay rep in it but also has the same issues.

i truly do not get how people can enjoy banana fish with the rampant racism every 2 pages or the rampant sexual assault plotlines (on women and ash bc he is just... written like how yoshida writes women lmao) that are handled IMPOSSIBLY bad and sincerely i hoped yasha would be better because it had been like a decade or so between works. and then it proceeds to continue with the heres our blonde genius protagonist who everyone is weird as fuck to and will sexually harrass and everyone finds it a VERY funny joke to point out how feminine he is when theres barely any women in the work (if you exclude the ones that are being raped/killed/creepy to minors. which to be fair yasha has toned down the sa a LOT) and that its funny that hes kind of gay except not really!! and its just absurd to me how it just persists in all of her stuff because she is not an author that handles gay stuff well. like the scene in banana fish where ash is completely ok getting gang raped and did it solely to get into the hospital when its been SHOWN that he has a lot of trauma with that. and then right after his friend makes a joke at ash's expense about that. like sincerely and genuinely is this what we are hyping up as the old retro gay manga. go read some tezuka and stop reading shit that the most the main characters do is share a kiss in a nonromantic sense and is obsessed w making every gay person be evil!!

#twist rambles #sorry mw u will always be famous to me (horrible fucking manga to experience for like 50% of the time but also it rocksss and theres #about anything tw worthy in there but i wish more ppl did read it) #sorry im like. i like to read her stuff bc her art is interesting to me but oh my god it makes me so angryyyy #rape mention #ask to tag #like... you do not understand my one sided rivalry w her it is SO intense like... bf was one of the worst reading experiences ive ever had #my tzk gay recs are: black jack (protag literally has a transmasc ex bf) and mw (for aforementioned reasons but its like. genuinely bonkers #and honestly there r a lot of minor characters that r lgbt in his works and like. can we please read smth that doesnt suck 100% of the time #like idk god bf is so baffling to me bc theres NOTHING there other than like. the new horrors every chapter. and yasha seems to be reusing #some plot points so it double sucks. haunted by the one analysis showing how the two had similar themes and point 1 was literally child #exploitation like... man. god it sucks. like not that mw is perfect bc its not and its a media i have a lot of thoughts on but man. id take #that over bf anyday bc like... sincerely how is anyone looking past the horrors there!! the story is a jumbled mess and it rly doesnt have #much to sayyyy but whatever lol!! id love if the characters were in a better media id love if ash didnt end the story feeling positively #towards the man who groomed him but whateverrrr lol #this is super disorganized as a post but like. genuinely it is so infuriating bc some of the plot concepts in yasha have potential and then #she keeps doing this like!!

I know i was pretty late but eeeeeee

Now Ive gone back and a while to see PEOPLE who give hate on aster for havin a thing to three.

(Please stop this act it's annoying)

I get how much people would send hate on a FICTIONAL character's appearance right after they got into Three. (Gate keeping is a big no no please do understand that shay and bringx put effort on giving them some ingredients for the characteristics to build their character)

And I know you guys like the gay indigo boyfriends together- and aster is an antagonist that would be the one to hit on Three.

(Ive seen tag6 mentioned by aly and bringx)

PLEASE NOTE THAT YES. TAG6 AND ASTER ARE BOTH DIFFERENT.

regardless between aster liking three and people to be sending hates for them- Tag6 would literally drop an F-bomb.

Aster and Tag6 both have the same purpose into dragging the protagonists with out main gay boys (aka three with Aster and four with Tag6)

Aster and Tag6 may have the same role to lead, but they are both DIFFERENT.

I am way more mad than ever- I'd expect people would also send hates to tag6 but NO ONE CAME BUDGING IN, INSTEAD THEY ALL GOT ATTENTION TO ASTER.

How come other people send hates towards them while Tag6 is atleast the most cold and die path- a PSYCHO who would literally kill and bite your head off for breakfast.

Aster is something else. So STOP PRESSING THE H BUTTON JUST BECAUSE OF IT!!!

As much as i'd be preferring to stay silent- I rather TALK.

(You guys think Tag6 is less hateable of a character because aster is here? Look- me and shay both created two beautiful characters to ruin both of the dude's life in just the opposite. So why?)

(You guys gotta touch some grass or leave those screens you've been staring on- yall watched too much)

#lizaluv #i may also hate aster but i love them with their character's appearance #and everytime i see them. #i just see. #GAY ME- #i mean. #uhhh #when i see how handsome bringx draws aster- i just have the motive to SNATCH EM AND DRAW- #that one was off topic but oh well #ALSO ASTER HATERS CAN SUCK. MY. ASS.
