So David making the show gayer and listening to his collaborators... is a bad thing. Even if you weren't twisting his words, you're not making the point you think you are.
I did never say anything like that, what I sad is that the show was never supposed to be so queer in the beginning and that pretty much all of the queer details about the characters came from the queer actors. My conclusion was not “David Jenkins bad because he didn’t want to make a queer show”, my conclusion was “it is beautiful that these queer people poured their hearts into it and created something with a lot of meaning for other queer people”.
Yes I also used phrases like “we were never even supposed to have what we got” and “This show was NEVER supposed to give us beautiful things and treat it’s queer characters with “kindness”! It was NEVER supposed to be for queer people!”, implying that I personally felt like s2 made some choices that I, with my personal experience as a queer person was disappointed in (such as cutting all the poly scenes and killing of the older queer characters right after giving him a coming out arc, in doing so removing an actor who is very vocally supportive of trans people which I, as a trans person appreciate and used the opportunity on convention panels to talk about queer rights and removing the only of the three most central characters in s2 actually played by a queer person, etc.).
But that was just a tiny and implied undertone in an overwhelmingly positive post, in which I praise the cast of the show. And for the record, I DO think that it is great that DJ made these adjustments, I work in theater and occasionally in film and know that it is also not uncommon or bad to make changes as the project evolves and actors flesh out the roles more. I simply pointed out that he is not the one who originally had the ideas to make it this queer and that he originally didn’t plan to let the main queer love story end with a happy ending.
Firstly this is not a bad thing, there are a lot of shows out there that aren’t queer, no body is “required” to make queer shows. Secondly where the hell am I twisting his words, he LITERALLY said all of the things I listed as changes towards a more queer show himself and you can find all the interviews linked in the source I gave in my post!
Again the over all tone of my post was “oh my god, look what crazy info I stumbled upon and isn’t it fucking fantastic that these gorgeous queers have turned this regular show into something that means so much to us”. And that you manage to take that positive post and read something sooooo negative into it, just because someone dares to say that maybe David isn’t this amazing queer rights activist that some fans make him out to be and didn’t plan on making a revolutionary queer show, is honestly baffling to me.
I am also not “trying to make any point”, this is my personal block with barely 30 followers where I described my personal feelings towards factually true information and my personal feelings are:
I fucking love Vico, I fucking love Con, I fucking love Kristian (also Nathan and every queer person who worked on this behind the scenes) but I’m not gonna kiss David Jenkins feet for something that wasn’t even his idea, I don’t “owe” a cis straight guy who dosnt understand half of why the things his queer cast came up with are so important, gratitude. I gladly and freely extend a big fucking chunk of gratitude to queer actors who put their heart and soul into their queer roles way more then they are required to.
Hope this helps.

🔥hehehehehe
okay idk how unpopular this is BUT
i like the rivalries (and rivalmances) and think a lot of criticism of them comes from people who havent ever done them or have only watched videos of people spamming the worst possible option lmao
i disagree that they’re hawke bullying their friends because you can have full rivalry without ever saying a rude thing to them. what they DO show is hawke having an opposing opinion to their companion.
which like happens and also it’s fine to play a hawke who isn’t right all the time (but also isn’t necessarily EVIL).
now they ARE broken (hello anders preaching about being anticircle to a blood mage hawke) and I’m not trying to say the rivalmances are all perfectly healthy lol. but having done a h/anders rivalmance even that doesn’t have to be whumpy like it might appear if you watch a video where hawke just yells at a/nders for 40 minutes until they kiss lmao

BBC Sherlock
oh anon I am so sorry to disappoint: I have unfortunately seen this show
HOWEVER. I haven’t seen season 4. Or the — was there a special? idk. idc.
So Sherlock’s plane does a u-turn with cartoon skid affects and lands back on the tarmac - since he’s been called to deal with moriarty stuff again or something??? And he and John have a very awkward oh hey haha funny seeing you again wow it’s been so long yeah like 2 minutes. Let’s Forget That Weirdly Emotional Goodbye. There is now a baby and Mary is now….. gone? So now john’s a single dad but not really because Sherlock is becoming dad number 2 which is very inconvenient when you want to avoid feelings and have a mad genius wanting to be the joker to your Batman. Well, well, well, look who it is— John’s stuck in a well. But it’s ok because Sherlock used his mind palace to include the well and construct a mind ladder to retrieve him, and Moriarty is now either dead or locked away and John and Sherlock can go back to bantering over crime scenes while raising the baby together but they don’t kiss. Or something.
