i love being autistic cause sometimes i get a glimpse into how regular people perceive things and its like. what the fuck. what the fuck is that? you live like this? and its normal?? i think YOURE the weird one actually. im fine. thanks though.
#THERES SO MANY WEIRD RULES#LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO HOW SOMEONE WALKS LIKE HUH????? WHY????????????#can someone fucking explain the dude head nod thing to me why do we do that. whats that about. ive never seen anyone do that irl before#is that an american thing or do i just hang around too many afab people#i am learning the intricacies of cis people gender rules and i am. what fucking planet have i been on the last 17 years like what is this#was there some like. rulebook they handed out at somepoint they forgot to give to me or something#“best way to learn is to observe the men around you” OBSERVE WHAT. YOU PEOPLE PAY THAT MUCH ATTENTION TO EVERY LITTLE MOVEMENT????#bruh i can barely make eye contact w people...#my ass has never intentionally copied someones mannerisms ever.#i do it subconsciously. but doing it actively feels weird and wrong and like im breaking someones boundaries#“men dont smile at people.” well they should.#ive decided cishet men are the most boring people on the planet#“dont move with your hands” YOURE BREAKING MY POOR THEATER KID HEART#i need to meet more gay men irl to absorb the vibe of cause i only know like two. not counting myself#i want people to look at me and go. ah yes. fruit.#at this point im just going to accept being misgendered for the rest of eternity. id rather die than be boring in the way cishet men are#my flavor of being trans is so influenced by my autism cause my perception of genders is completely off from what everyone else is doing#im like. yeah i want to be a man. and then i look at what the majority of men are actually like and its like. wait no. not like that#shoutout to flamboyant gay men where would i be without them#i think the thing that bothers me the most is that like#in my mind peoples genders are just. the way they express themselves.#its not like. this super big complex deal like how everyone else treats it. if that makes sense? like.#regular people have so many rules for what counts as a man or what counts as a woman or what counts as neither and its like???#you can do what you want???? why do we care????#and ive been doing this since i was little. on account of the autism#i just. dont get why its such a big deal to people.#i cant wrap my head around it at all#not nonbinary not a girl not aegender not a man but a secret fourth thing#(man but i do it my way instead of everyone elses way)#unfortunately doing it my way just. leads to the misgendering dimension. for some reason

Negan: And now for a gay update with Zipper. Zipper: Getting gayer. Negan: Thank you, Zipper.
Zipper: Hey, Carl? Can I get some dating advice? Carl: Just because I'm with Moony doesn't mean I know how I did it.
Moony: Can you cut me some slack, Carl? I’m sort of in love. Carl: I’m sorry, but that’s really not my problem. Moony: I’m in love with you. Carl: *blushes* Oh. That brings me in the loop a little.
Carl: I'm so happy, I could kiss you! Moony: Um...Neat. *later* Moony, lying face down on their bed: I said "Neat," Zipper. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid. Zipper, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much, Moony. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Negan confessed their love for me? Moony: Didn't you thank them? Zipper: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked them.
Negan: Truth or dare? Moony: Truth! Negan: Do you- Carl: I dare you to kiss me. Moony: *kisses Carl* Negan, to Zipper: They said “truth”, right?
Zipper: *kisses Negan* Negan: ! Zipper: ...Did you steal my chapstick? Negan: Did- did I what? Zipper: My chapstick, Negan. Did you steal it? Moony: Zipper, for the love of God, not this again. Negan: I- No, I didn't steal your chapstick. We use the same chapstick. Zipper: No, there is absolutely no way we use the same chapstick, because it was only sold on one Etsy shop two years ago and they discontinued it, and I loved it so much that I bought the last of their stock, and I keep it in my freezer so it doesn't go bad. It's been discontinued for three years. No one uses the same chapstick for three years. So unless you've been eating a whole fuck ton of something that's flavored like chocolate and popcorn, you absolutely stole my fucking chapstick. Negan:Chocolate and popcorn? Moony: Why do you think it got discontinued?
Carl: So, how long have you and Negan been together? Zipper: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Negan and I are not together. No. No. Carl: Really? Sixteen ‘nos’? Really?
Moony: Why do you let me win when we race up the stairs? You’re the faster one. Negan: Erm... it’s nice see your smile when you win! *later* Moony: They're probably just staring at my ass, aren't they. Carl: Yeah, probably.
Moony: I know you love them. Zipper: I am not in love with Negan! Moony, staring at Zipper: I never said who... Zipper: *realizes* Zipper: Shit. Well, anyways-
Zipper: You know my motto: carpe diem, carpe noctem, carpe coles. Moony: Seize the day, seize the night, what’s the last one? Zipper: Seize the dick.
Carl: What are you getting Negan for the holidays? Zipper: I don't know. It's kind of hard buying a gift for your partner when they already got everything they could've ever wanted when they married you. So I'm not sure yet. Moony: I'm getting Negan a divorce lawyer.
Moony: *pretending to joke* So when are you going to go out with me? Carl: I don't know. When are you going to ask me to? Zipper: And you just ran away?! Moony: I didn't expect them to flirt back!
Carl: Why are your tongues purple? Zipper: We had slushies. I had a blue one. Negan: I had a red one. Carl: oh. Carl: Carl: OH. Moony: Moony: You drank eachothers slushies?
Moony: Is something burning? Zipper, leaning seductively on the counter: Just my desire for you. Moony: Negan, the toaster is literally on fire.
Carl: So, what is Zipper to you? Negan: The reason I wake up every morning. Carl: ...That’s adorable. Zipper earlier that morning, barging into Negan′s room, smacking pans together: WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!
Negan: Pfft, you should meet Carl, they're such a tsundere. Zipper: They... they just stabbed you. Negan: So cute.
Zipper: This food is too hot... I cant eat it. Negan: You’re very hot, and I still eat you. Everyone at the table: *silence* Moony: YOU GUYS ARE DISGUSTING! Carl: One dinner... I just want ONE DINNER!
Moony: *angrily presses Zipper against a wall* WHERE'S THE MONEY?! Zipper: ... Zipper: Are we about to kiss-
Zipper: Are you a painting? Negan: What-? Zipper: Because I want to pin you to a wall. Moony: OH GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY YOU WANTED TO HANG THEM OR SOMETHING-
Zipper: I never said I was gonna get back together with them. But I was thinking, they're in town, would it be the worst thing in the world if I gave them a call? Moony: No. No, Zipper, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. It would be the fourth worst thing. Number one: a super volcano. Number two: an asteroid hits the Earth. Number three: All the Evel Knievel movies are lost. Number four: Zipper calls Negan. Number five: Carl gets eaten by a shark. Carl: I’m Carl, and I approve the order of that list.
Negan: Carl, take out the trash. Carl jokingly: Sure, Zipper, will you go out on a date with me?
Negan: I feel like doing something stupid. Zipper: I’m stupid, do me.
Zipper: We should be partners. Negan: You mean like, partners in crime? Zipper: Yeah... that’s precisely what I meant
Negan: I still have no idea how I’m attracted to you... Zipper: Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me, and no take backs, honey.
Zipper: Ok so, apparently the "bad vibes" I've been feeling are actually severe psychological distress.
Moony: We call that a traumatic experience. Moony, turning to Zipper: Not a "bruh moment". Moony, turning to Negan: Not "sadge". Moony, turning to Carl: And DEFINITELY not an "oof LMAO".
Negan: You look mentally ill. Zipper: I am. Let’s go.
Moony, to Carl: You're starting to forget your Spanish. You don't practice. Carl: Lo siento. Estoy embarazada. Moony: You just told me you're pregnant. Zipper: Congratulations Carl, you're glowing!
Moony: I’m going to hell. Zipper: Probably. Moony: I'll pick you up? Zipper: *nodding* Carpool.
Zipper, throwing a pokeball at Moony: Moony, I choose you! Moony, not looking up from their book and catching it: You need an Ultra ball to catch this Legendary Pokémon.
Zipper: I mean, sure, I have my bad days, but then I remember what a cute smile I have.
Negan, to Moony: One universe, nine planets, seven seas, seven continents, and I had the unfortunate luck of meeting you. Zipper: Hey, that’s not very nice- Moony: There are only eight planets, you uncultured swine! Zipper, forgetting about Negan: VIVA LA PLUTO, FUCK YOU!
Zipper: Ah ready for another fantastic day of being better than Moony.
Rick: I’m not mad, I just need to know why you two had a fake ID. Moony: *Incoherent mumbling* Rick: Huh? Zipper: …You need to be 18 to hold the puppies at PetCo.
Carl: I hope they've calmed down... Zipper: Shut the fuck up you annoying ass pig.
Jason: Come on, you need to go to bed. Moony: Mr. Snuffles says that I can stay up as long as I want. And that you need to die! Jason: … Jason: What the hell, Mr. Snuffles—
Zipper: I have a plan. Rick: Good! As long as we aren’t breaking the law again, I’m open to hearing it. Zipper: … Rick: … Zipper: I no longer have a plan.
Jason: I’m telling you, my team is competent. Carl, rushing in: Jason! Zipper tried to make pasta in the coffee pot and now it's broken!
Rick: Remember! Curiosity killed the cat! Zipper: Yes, but you forget that satisfaction brought it back. So yes, Judith, go find out if that thing can catch fire! Rick: You're a bad influence. Zipper: And you don't know your sayings.
Negan: Wow, did you hear that voice crack? Zipper: That wasn't a voice crack, that was a whole voice meth.
you'd be surpised how many of these I'm adding to my dr.

We ate our food, both of us enjoying the flavors of the dish. I found myself enjoying his company. There was something about him that made me feel at ease and comfortable. After we finished our meal, we decided to walk around Britechester a bit and explore. It was a beautiful day, and the energy of the college town seemed to be contagious.
Tumblr media
After the little walk, we headed back to our dorm room and when we came to a small park bench, Mick sat down and looked at me. "Braden, there is something else I need to tell you. I think you probably need to know if we are going to be roomies."
I was somewhat hesitant, as I was not sure what he was going to tell me. Maybe he was out on parole for assault or something. I had no idea, but luckily it was nothing of that magnitude.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He took a deep breathe, "I'm gay. I really think you should know I mean everyone knows; I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable."
"Well Mick seeing how you are being open and honest, I have something to tell you as well. I am also gay. Gay as they come."
Tumblr media
We both sat there, staring at each other for a moment. The realization of what was just said was sinking in. We were two gay guys, about to share a room, in a small, dorm room, in the middle of this big southern city. He finally broke the silence.
"I felt you were, but if you weren't I still always try to be honest. This way we can have this understanding from the get-go. I mean, it's not like we're going to be doing anything inappropriate, right?" He said with a wink. I couldn't help but laugh at his comment.
"Of course not, Mick. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year."
I took a deep breath, and we headed back to our dorm room, Britechester, was already beginning to feel more like home.

I'm really contemplating whether or not I can in good conscience keep thinking of myself as queer, which is kind of painful for me, because I have a lot of attachment to what it means to me. But it really does clearly mean something very different to most people, and I don't want to ignore that reality. It bothers me that when I say it, people might reasonably believe I'm talking about a particular type of ideology and political agenda that can be separated from the Normie Gays and the Hateful Assimilationists, that a person could learn about then choose to agree with and support or not agree with and support, because I've always felt strongly that being queer isn't a type of politics you can have, it's an experience of existing in a politicized way.
I'm well aware that 90% of the people in my Tumblr orbit perceive me (or would if they knew me) as one of the Hateful Assimilationists, which in some sense I agree that I am. I think it's actually a reasonably psychologically healthy goal to want to be a participating member of one's community and culture, although that's not the only thing I think a reasonably psychologically healthy person should care about. And it's not the only thing I care about, but I do want to just -- go about my business in life, and do my job and shop and socialize and deal with bureaucracy and attend events and never have to navigate feeling anxious or unwelcome or unsafe simply because I exist in public and other people have feelings about that. To myself, I feel -- normal, I'm just a person, I'm not doing anything that I feel like should be all that bothersome or intrusive to other people. It's other people who are intrusive when I I just am here, looking like they don't think I should look, having a family they don't think I should have.
So, like -- I'm not queer because that's some kind of mission statement for me, I know other queer people like the idea of having a Disruptive Agenda, but my agenda is and has always been trying to convince other people to be less rude and weird about me, because I'm just like, some person who is alive and trying to get through life like anyone else, like everyone else. As far as I'm concerned, I have never been the weird one; people who have absolutely no stake in my clothes, name, sex life, facial hair, general manner of existing, and yet feel thoroughly empowered to inflict their uninvited opinions about those things on me -- those people seem bizarre to me.
So when I've used the word queer, it's always been an acknowledgement that these are non-normative ways of being, and these are stigmatized ways of being, and there has been an ongoing experience of stigmatization and marginalization in my life that I recognize as a broadly shared experience with many other flavors of gender identity and sexuality minorities. And I need language like that to be able to say, hey, I recognize that across our diverse experiences, we've all been defined out of Normalcy whether or not we wanted to be. That's been placed on us, similar to the way that "non-white" and "people of color" are categories people are placed in by the hegemonic power of white supremacy, not because there's something inherently Other or Non about having skin darker than a Styrofoam cup, or because every other ethnic phenotype in the world shares some particular quality. The only quality they share is the way that whiteness Others them, and the quality I share with all other queer people is the way that heteronormativity Others all of us.
But it's used so often by so many other people as a signifier of some ideological commitment to an adequate level of Smashing the Patriarchy, and I'm not remotely interested in a vision of queerness that audits people's beliefs and motives and degree of radicalism, because for a lot of people, simply existing is as much radical disruption as they're able or willing to commit to, and that's frankly their business, not mine. Queer people spend our lives being judged and excluded, measured and found wanting. I'm just not up for a vision of queerness that imposes yet another external standard that people have to figure out how to meet in order to avoid hearing some version of "you're not queer, you're just a girl who likes girls" or whatever the current clever zing is about why they don't make the cut.
The world ascribes political meaning to our existence, it thinks that us merely wanting to live is "activism" and "radical leftism" and "the woke mind virus" or whatever the fuck. But we're not issues, we're fundamentally people, and presumably over the course of our lives we'll identify with any number of different issues and goals and beliefs, but we were people at birth and have always been and will always be people, and that is what I personally think should be at the center of whatever we're trying to do as a community, I think here you can be seen as the person you are is more impactful work than trying to make sure we don't accidentally embrace any Assimilationists.
I'm not saying there's nothing political about it when I call myself queer, but I am saying that the statement "gender and sexuality diversity is just part of the human experience, we are simply humans no matter what" is unfortunately already politicized. I wish it weren't. I wish that were just a thing I could believe in because it seems objectively true to me and it didn't have any particular politics attached to it. I would like my actual causes to be, like, climate change and food justice and socialized medicine! It's a bummer to me that I have to spend so much of my life asserting my own basic humanity, and I would like even more of the straight world to come around and join me in just not thinking my transness or my bisexuality are particularly fascinating aspects of my personality.
I don't know, I've just never been a "queer as in fuck you" person, and I never am going to be -- I can certainly get mad enough to be combative at times, but that's not fundamentally who I am or how I see the world. I like communities and I like getting along with people when I can, I like social safety nets and good neighbors and ethics of care, and I don't want people -- including me! -- to feel forced to the margins of their families and communities and churches and schools and jobs. I think it's good to want to belong to things and painful and often traumatic to be excluded and shunned. I know you do have to set some functional limits to your inclusion, paradox of tolerance and all that, but I also think you don't make a good life or a good world without some degree of learning to practice civility and coalition building and compromise. Those are the things that make communities, because if you can only deal with the people you easily mesh with, that's gonna end up being simply not enough people to survive.
So I want to draw boundaries wide, for practical purposes, and also because like I said, that is my core value, that people have inherent worth and dignity that doesn't depend on their actions or their ideas, but simply on the fact of their humanity. I think queer people need advocacy and need respect and need community even if I also think those people are full of shit, and my allegiance to the idea of queerness has always been about that respect -- that you don't need to justify exactly where you fit in order to fit here, that we make room for people to be themselves who have otherwise been told it's not okay to be themselves.

This is why I don't want a reboot for this show, people right now don't know better.
I love Haruhi because she is gender non conforming, she doesn't care about her looks, for her is more important who you're as a person.
As a reverse harem, the joke of the show is that she is a very normal/plain woman without flavor (but she is very smart) that gets all this attention from a bunch of rich men who are hot (and crazy) and do the most preposterous things while she gets annoyed by this behavior but she has to put with it.
Is the men in the show (and her dad, that is a gay man who works while cross dressing) that are shoving into her how she should look and behave in their ideal of what a woman is and just trying to make her more into their idea of femininity (but like she doesn't care).
But the issue with Haruhi is that she really thinks that there is no difference between men and women in a very naive way... and then we have the episode of the beach where some men start harassing some women who participate as clients in the Host Club and Haruhi jumps to defend the women and ends getting pushed into the sea and almost drowned.
All the men in the Host Club got incredible angry at her for doing something so reckless but Haruhi only double down in that she was right for trying to help the women. Later in the episode she understands that while she doesn't care about gender, she is still a woman and as a woman she could never be able to overpower a man in strength. That's why everyone was so mad at her, because she could have ended injured or dead for trying to fight those men alone.
Then later... because this is an reverse harem, all the men in the Host Club are in love with her and are trying to be with her but there is only one destined to be "the one" (Tamaki, the most stupid and annoying of the bunch... but he is the real start of the show) and she also falls in love with him, and while she doesn't really change as a person, while she is figuring out her feelings for Tamaki, she gets all insecure about her looks, about not looking "feminine" enough when she knows Tamaki is incredible handsome.
There is a lot in this story and the manga is my favorite one. The anime ended while the manga was still owngoing so the ending of the anime is different. I understand why there is a crave to see the manga animated again now that finished years ago.
The problem is Haruhi, her dad and all the crossdressing jokes and the jokes in general that I feel that american anime fans are going to be annoying about it in worse levels than Tamaki.
There is people in the comments calling Haruhi "agender" and "non-binary" and saying "she was my trans/non-binary awakening" that totally miss the point of her character. And let's not talk about the dad, people is going to be incredible annoying about the dad.
I'm not ready to deal with the BS and the discourse that is going to spark if there is a reboot.

there is no bad variation of the 'let's get together to trick everyone for shits and giggles' (queer edition bc straight fake dating has had it's glory already, and i don't even mean fake dating for a reason other than to dupe people, i literally mean shits and giggles)
like at least not any that I can think of i mean
there's the ansgty pining edition: where A pitches the idea to B in a wacky fun way and just literally wants to get closer (and maybe it's to get over B, maybe it's to satisfy their curiosity before closure, maybe it's because they are an actual fucking moron) and B is like, okay bet (but internally is like 'so this is all a joke to you huh') and they are going along and they aren't saying 'hey, this feels real' but they aren't initiating anything and they are just quietly miserable that the only way they could have this experience with A is if they are faking it. obv ends with like some kind of angsty as fuck confession.
there's the soft pining edition: where they literally just want to get closer together and they both claim it's for the prank for the reveal but like you know, i've alwasy wondered what it would be like to hold your hand and oh, are they not convinced? i think we should kiss obvsioulsy, it's really the only way and they go on like this and everyone either suspects that they've been dating forever and just came out adn that's why they're so shy or that they're totally faking it but at least they aren't pining in silence you know. and at the end there's like a timid lil 'what if it was real?' and then they're smiling and it's grossly cavity-inducing cuteness.
then there's the crack oh we're just bros obv edition: where they are both 'straight' but like codependent and people think they are in love (they are for these purposes) and they're like, we'll mess with them, yea? and they act like it's a big game of gay chicken except they're not afraid and their friends are really supportive and they are starting to feel guilty for tricking them but also you know it's crack so they are doing wacky shit that needs a 'no homo' disclaimer excpet neither feel like saying it and it's like full homo. and at the end the confession is lame but they're in love and that's beautiful.
(then there the crack crack crack crack one: where one is like i'll seduce you and the other is like, huh, this is kind of neat? wish it was real lol and like nobody is falling for any of it but whatever)
if you guys see any fics with this flavor hit me up please!!
like, just so you know the flavor i'm gonna give a brief snippet of each, yeah, for funsies and also bc it's my life mission to get your obsessed with the concept so more fics like this can exist and so if you know them you can send them my way so i can have crack-induced brain rot
(the examples are gonna feature WOMEN bc i've already went crazy over men and i ahve to keep myself fresh)
there's the angsty induced pining pining edition: catradora
bc they are peak pining and dumbass and angst and love, for reasons Adora pitches the idea, 'you know, just to get them off our backs, like we're dating? what! and then we're like, ofc we're not' and Catra grasps it and doesn't let it go.
("We should kiss," Catra says decisively.
Adora's gut reaction was finally, what came out of her mouth was,
"No."
It came out strangled, guttural, tortured--- and Catra, always in tune, notices and is hurt. And Adora doesn't know how to say that I want it more than anything but I want it to mean something with you so she doesn't.
"Oh, well okay," Catra says, and she had already looked a little tense when she pitched the idea but now she looked stiff as a board. She looked like she was about to shatter. And Adora knows that Catra never handled rejection quite well, even if it was about something she didn't really care about, but she just can't.
"I- I would, but it would be my first kiss," she says, as an apology. "i want it to mean something."
Catra stares at her before nodding jerkily, something fire bright in her eyes. Her voice had a bitter, abrasive quality that stirs the familar urge to soothe in Adora. "Right, no yeah, obviously. Don't want to waste your first kiss on me."
"I--," Adora explained, voice catching, "I want it to mean something to you, if I kissed you. I don't want it to be for anyone else. For a prank.")
there's the soft pining edition: lumity
(any setting really, just the premise that luz is like ppl would go crazy if they realized we were friends, you know what woudl drive them crazier?? if we we're dating--- and amity is like, oh yeah totally crazy, we should do it, and luz is interanlly like i don't think it;s crazy i think other ppl would think it's crazy but you know if she thinks it's crazy then i should play along, adn out loud she's like 'let's do it' and amity is just internaklly thinking 'omg omgomgomgomg we're gonna hold hands??? wtfffff??? akdgaydzfbkafbc???)
("Well," Amity says, smiling weakly, "We did say it was a crazy idea."
"They don't believe us," Luz murmurs, gradually becoming more indignant. "They laughed in our faces!"
"I mean, we are messing with them!"
"They totally brushed us off! We cann;t let this slide! We have to convince them."
Amity never really learned how to say no to Luz, so she said, "How?"
And that is how Amity learned an expansive vocabulary of Spanish pet names. She also learned that it was very possibel to blush so hard you stop breathing. She learned both of those valuable life-long lessons, the hard way.)
then there's the crack oh we're just bros obv edition: raris
Where Paris and Rory are just (gay but in denial but she doesn't realize she's gay or in denial?) and Star's hollow is like 'oh, those lesbians!' and Pairs is like, 'let's date and mess with your town' and Rory is like 'that's stupid' but they end up doing it anyways for no other reason than Paris' research paper and Lorelai's amusement.
("I don't think we convinced Luke."
"He's convinced," Rory reassures, as she highlights a particularly good line. "He's just giving you the cold shoulder for my virtue or whatever."
"Hmm."
"But," Rory says, not sure why she is saying this other than that she kind of wants to. "I mean, we should be thorough. I've only seen Taylor print one Raris Valentines Poster."
"That is freakish on it's own."
"Yeah, but not to Taylor's standards. I think we can do better."
"Should I propose?"
"Oh my god.")
then there the crack crack crack crack one: nevermore
("Maybe you should kiss me," Anabel Lee suggests, eagerness shining through.
Lenore pretends to contemplate it, "I guess it's the only way..."
Two feet away, Duke turns to Pluto and whispers, "They do know we can hear them right? Like, we are all sitting at the same table?")

I've been thinking of how queer-coded Eddie (from 9-1-1) is, and the way his cardiologist (a heart doctor, how symbolic!) suggested Eddie might be repressed and...
Skip this post if the concept of repressed sexuality is uninteresting to you, this is mostly me talking about myself, to spread some knowledge about repression.
Anyway. Since anyone who has read any of my posts already knows I'm unhinged beyond comprehension, there is no reputation to lose here...
I just realized that I keep saying that I think Eddie is repressed and bi, and it just hit me that maybe people don't know what I mean by that? Maybe people don't know all faces of what repressed bisexuality can look like? It's not talked about a lot, I think.
So fic writers of the world, or whoever likes to learn, let me share my personal flavor of insanity - what my repressed bisexuality has looked like at different times!
Ah yes, first stage was Buck. Outrageous, oblivious flirting with anyone pretty... Without any clue that I was in fact flirting with everyone, including other women (I'm a woman). I just thought I was joking, teasing... Until it got just a bit too intense, and I finally went "Wtf. I'm flirting now. Like seriously, to get their attention! This isn't straight. What am I doing?"
And I was definitely nowhere near ready to get out of the closet or act on these instincts, so hey, we enter stage...
2. Repressed - and aware of it. Yes, may sound bizarre. To make things even more bizarre, when I say I started to repress my behavior... I don't mean just around women!!
By that time I had a lovely, open-minded friend group, I'd always been into queer rights etc. So I definitely felt like this wasn't really anything I should hide, or be ashamed of...
But I still grew up religious, and even though I left religion behind quite early in my teens? My family didn't.
So I wanted to come out. And was scared to come out.
And somehow... The longer I stayed silent, the more the mask of conformity started to suffocate. It disturbed me, to have people think I was 100% straight.
I started to feel like I was betraying my people, other bisexuals and queers in general, by conforming, and slipping notice under the cover of heteronormativity.
I thought, why should I talk about the men I like... if I can't also talk about the women I like. It just means I'm shoving myself deeper inside the closet!
So my logical solution to this problem...
Was just stop talking. Of anyone! I became this sexless creature, no flirting, no admiring comments, no dating, nothing. Even if someone made a comment about a random person on tv... I existed in a cage, not wanting to comment on anyone's attractiveness. Simply because it felt like betrayal to talk about some part of my identity if I could not talk about all of it.
So to summarize: while it's true that some bisexuals hide under the blanket of fake straightness, and some will actually also pretend to be fully gay or lesbian...
Some of us just attempt to disappear off the map completely, and show no interest to anyone at all.
That doesn't btw necessarily have anything to do with our fantasy life - that may still be rampant. Or equally repressed in some way or another!
And we may also act differently around different people. But not necessarily. It can feel awkward or scary or "unimportant" to come out even to fellow queer friends.
The point is... There are many kinds of masks. Repression is a freaking chameleon. Everyone does it differently, even the same person can do it differently with different people, at different stages of life.
And btw, unbecoming this self-made onion of a person can be annoyingly slow and difficult. Personally I'm still not done untangling the mess I am. But maybe getting there!

tseng and sephiroth for the character ask :)
Tseng
Sexuality Headcanon: probably some flavor of aromantic going on, like I do think he might feel romantically attracted to people from time to time but mainly he doesn't really notice
Gender Headcanon: I like him as the stealthiest trans man ever. Gender is an exercise in burying information and he is winning this
A ship I have with said character: I like to think that the Turks are all kind of lowkey involved in a general vague something that no one really wants to acknowledge or think too much about it. So I'm gonna go ahead and say all the other Turks
A BROTP I have with said character: Honestly I loved the hints we had of him interacting with Zack in Crisis Core, it felt like the least messy relationship Tseng got to have in the Compilation - with the Turks, he's the boss, with Rufus, he's a subordinate, with Aerith it's complicated at best, but it really felt he just liked Zack as a person. Maybe Rebirth will give us more of it, who knows
A NOTP I have with said character: I don't really like Tseng/Aerith, gotta say. I get the like basis behind it and why people ship it, but I prefer it as some kind of complex messy sorta friendship with a lot of difficult history
A random headcanon: I think it's funny if Tseng was the most well-rested person in Shinra. Like you see everyone there working overtime - whether it's actually working like Reeve, who honestly looks like he needs to sleep for 20 hours straight, or if it's their personal after hours fun like whatever Scarlet and Hojo are up to all the time. And Tseng does make a perfect candidate for overworked and exhausted to the bone with all the messes Turks without doubts need to deal with, right? But what if he wasn't. What if he gets his nice 8 hours of sleep every day and full meals and is just at peak physical performance all the time. People don't think he should be able to, that he should have way too much work for it, they always see him at the office, but Tseng is just magic like that. It's time to go to bed and he will go to bed
General Opinion over said character: he's a pretty enjoyable character overall, I like that since og we've had these hints that he's way more complex and caring than he lets on, I'm very into this whole morally grey villain thing he has. I never actually end up writing him or anything tho, I just find it hard to get a good grasp on him. Like he's enjoyable but at the same time he doesn't give me the same kind of serotonin supply other characters do, and he's just hard to work with on some level
Sephiroth
Sexuality Headcanon: gay but he himself almost doesn't notice. He's not interested in dating or sex for the sake of it and more often than not he himself doesn't notice what's going on, it's more like he just occasionally stumbles across someone he likes and he wouldn't quite call himself gay because for all he knows it might just be coincidence he ends up being into men
Gender Headcanon: tbh Sephiroth can be literally any gender imaginable, he has the range
A ship I have with said character: welcome to the Sefikura blog with the novel length Sefikura fic lmao. But also all of ASGZC is good
A BROTP I have with said character: in settings where I have only Sefikura as a ship going on, then I love friendship with Angeal, Genesis, or Zack. I also like Sephiroth and Aerith being besties but Sephiroth never admitting he may actually like being around her
A NOTP I have with said character: I'm fairly flexible when it comes to Sephiroth ships. I will say I tend not to read Sephiroth/Vincent because I'm a dad Vincent fan and that kind of informs my whole reading of their relationship, but since it's also just a theory I don't like overall care a lot
A random headcanon: thanks to his alien dna mix Sephiroth actually has ended up having a mild allergic reaction to some specific types of plants that normal human beings have 0 reaction to. I don't know what type of plant exactly, just that they're not common in Midgar and from time to time Sephiroth will come back from a mission with a mild rash on the exposed part of his chest and think it was just the leather chafing in a weird way. The Science Department could probably figure it out but Hojo is in too much denial to admit Sephiroth may have a puny human weakness like allergies
General Opinion over said character: before snapping he was a wonderfully complex character who was beaten over and over by the world around him and really just deserved a hug. After he went murder happy he became very entertaining and also extremely villain hot. 10/10 character he has it all

Poss Sauce Guide
Tumblr media
Here is how I make my hot sauce aka Poss Sauce. The label was drawn and printed by the wonderful @possumancer-co
Tumblr media
First thing I do is gather all my peppers and remove the seeds and stems to avoid extra bitterness. I like to ferment my peppers in mason jars for 1-2 weeks (1 week for this recipe), because it adds a slight salty flavor to it without any salt added.
Tumblr media
I like to add blueberries to my hot sauce, so I cut the blueberries in half for the fermentation process. These also add thickness to the sauce from the pectin.
Tumblr media
Here are the jars filled with peppers and blueberries.
Tumblr media
After this I fill the jars up with water, place some plastic wrap on top, then place glass weights over the wrap. I do the wrap stuff so I can avoid gross stuff forming on top from the fermentation. After that I just add the fermenting lids on and away it goes to a dark corner for a week.
I would go for 2 weeks without blueberries, but the sugar speeds up the fermentation.
Tumblr media
1 week gone by and oops, it kinda leaked because I filled the water too high. If it looks mildly gross you're in the clear.
Tumblr media
Lid, weights, and wrap removed from the top and I've skimmed off any rot or white stuff that has formed. Leaving this in will just make it bitter.
Tumblr media
WOW this looks unappetizing. Blend the peppers and blueberries whole, and be sure to add that fermenting juice!
Tumblr media
Now the peppers and stuff are blended. Time to cook on medium low heat on the stove. Be sure to have one or two fans on and a window open! The fumes will BURN your eyes and any mucus membranes.
Tumblr media
WOWZERS THATS HOT SAUCE! Strain the mush into a new pot and cook some more on the stove.
Tumblr media
Now's when you (actually its me) boil the bottles, tops, and caps.
Tumblr media
If you actually try to make hot sauce yourself at home, this is when you need a 2nd person. Pouring the sauce into the freshly boiled bottles. Once the tops are done you can choose to pasteurize the bottles. I didn't do it for this batch, but picture this:
Get water high enough to reach the top of the sauce in the bottles, and boil it. Leave the bottles in there for a few minutes with the caps open slightly to let some air come out. After this you should be fine.
Tumblr media
I like to add these fancy tops to the bottles so everyone knows if its been opened. You boil them in water and it shrinks!
Tumblr media
The tops didn't entirely boil well, but oh well we will endure.
Tumblr media
Here are the @possumancer-co labels! if you want your own then go fucking commission @possumancer-co for your own
Tumblr media
WOW LOOK AT THOSE CHICKENS POSS SAUCE BOTTLES!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is a closer look at the labels. If you're wondering what the Poss Sauce tastes like, its spicy with a little taste of blueberry in it. Its slightly sweet with no added sugar, slightly salty, and goes very well with mexican style carnitas. It also makes you gay
If you want the specific written recipe you'll have to DM me.
I hand these out at fur cons so if you're a furry in the midwest, be sure to keep an eye out for a common opossum!

hi hi!! i saw your reblog of your therapist au art and noticed in the tags that you dont mind answering questions. i hope its alright if i ask you one or two!!
so, you mention in the background section of the au that moon was used to trap souls inside dreams (or something similar to that.) will that be addressed in the future?? i feel like thats prime material for angsty stuff and moon feeling bad about what happened in the past :< not to mention the whole fazbear entertainment thing lending you the therapy bots and them linked to dream experiments is shady (as per usual with fazent.)
(also not as important, but is the whole "trapping souls" thing a reference to somniphobia, the book in the tftp series?? i actually havent read the story personally, but from a brief summary, im getting those same vibes lol. could be entirely a coincidence, but if not, thats cool either way!!!)
and on a more lighter note, can they eat stuff in this au? if so, id love to know their favorite ice-cream flavors! its a weird question to suddenly ask but for some reason this au is giving me "its a summer night, im up way too late, and im eating ice-cream when i shouldnt" type of vibes
anyways!!! im sorry i think i rambled too much but i love your guys' au, and yall's artwork!! cant wait to see more of it, hopefully in the future!
(p.s. unrelated but i thought moon,,,had the bisexual colors in his irises,,,)
Ooh yay hihi I love AU asks!
So! The dreamscape is going to play a big part in the therapy bots AU, and the angst and drama is very much ongoing - it might seem like fun and games at first exploring the therapy themed concepts, but you’re absolutely right, there are massive Somniphobia style undertones there. Moon’s dreamscape is designed to pull you in and it can be addictive and …energy consuming. Or should we say life force consuming?
Moon meanwhile? He feels closer to you in the dreamscape than in the waking world …at first. All the souls he steals become a part of him, in a sense. Remnants of them continue to float around in the dreamscape if you look hard enough, like when you start peeling back the wallpaper of a new house that used to belong to someone else. For the longest time Moon has not really been able to interact in the real world, and honestly most people in the dreamscape very rarely interacted with him either up until the very end, being far too wrapped up in exploring the vast dreamscape which moulds itself around their wants and needs. He’s been kind of used to his role as a passive observer, or a creature without much identity at all. But this time around, because you think he’s a therapy bot, he’s a part of the action. He’s actually being played with. This is unusual for him, and his feelings get a little more muddied over time.
Sun and Moon can absolutely eat in this AU - it was one of their ill-advised “upgrades”. And as the three of you start sharing some soul energy - uhhh, bond with each other more closely, they start to gain the strangest senses too. Senses they’ve never had before, like smell and taste. And they do not know what to make of this. But they do know that Sun likes neapolitan flavour (don’t ask him to pick just one, they look so pretty together!) and Moon likes mint chocolate chip flavour (yep you heard me, mint is good). And that having ice cream late on a summer night is what it’s all about (well, ask Sun about that one - Moon thinks you ought to be sleeping, but he’ll allow it this one time).
Never apologise for rambling I love rambling :D (also everyone who’s mentioned all the pride flag colours you are absolutely correct Sun and Moon say gay rights)

Question to the trans men out there, I am in need of some advice, please!!!
(People from home I think I cleared you out but if I missed you and you see this post - no you didnt)
So this is probably weird and please don't judge me, but.. how did you always know you were a guy? How did you know, did you feel like you were trapped in the wrong body, or were there other clues?
Just asking because.. well.. just for some background, I am afab lesbian, but when I was little my daycare once asked me which Disney character I'd like to be and I apparently said "Aladdin ", and I think about that a lot.
I also think about how I always felt wrong growing up, and then I learned about lesbians and I thought "oh I'm not in the wrong body, I'm just a lesbian".
But.. I don't know? Haha. Weird. My friends say I'm way too feminine in my mannerisms to ever be a dude the few times I've jokingly brought it up. Not sure if that's just the patriarchy and toxic masculinity or if they're right and I'm just super confused lol 🙃 I will absolutely give them that I do have what are considered to be feminine mannerisms and I am absolutely very in touch with my emotions (I will cry at the drop of a hat - I'm squishy, don't yell at me).
I've always been friends with girls, I've always liked/loved girls. I know for a fact I'm attracted to women, and I'm not overly fond of men. The few male friends I have are usually trans men, or gay men, but even they are few and far between.
I love video games, I love adventurous things like horse back riding or going to the shooting range, but I also love when my girl friends want to come spill the tea, I get super giddy, like come on girrrlll, spill! He said wHAT?! The AUDACITY!
But also I hate my body. Total body dysmorphia, I cry and vomit when I have to look in the mirror too long. To be clear this is not just because I am over weight although that certainly doesn't help. My tits are DDD and I mean they're fantastic if I wanna wear a blouse (barf), but if I wanna wear a t-shirt it makes like this weird shelf I hate it.
I look at men's bodies, even those not super fit, and I'm envious. The jaw, the shoulders. The fit of the clothes, ughhh I wish my clothes fit ME like that! I've tried! Multiple exercises, I've seen masc women say get rid of your curves to help build that physique but it never seems to do the job. Everyone compliments me on my highly hourglass figure. I hate it.
I see tiktok and Tumblr posts of trans men who are almost fully transitioned, and they look so happy in themselves, so confident. They look like how *I* want to look.
Growing up, any time I tried to wear anything I felt remotely comfortable in, my mother would say I looked like a "dyker-biker" (wtf even is that insult, mom???). Which isn't inherently anything bad, but the way she said it always made me feel like I should be ashamed, so I feel like I learned to avoid wearing the clothes I actually wanted to wear.
I hate dresses and skirts. I don't care what temperature it is outside. I would rather die than wear either. Shorts, pants, or nothing.
I've sort of tried to broach the topic with friends as I mentioned, and they always say I'm too feminine, or I would have to be gay (no offense men, no thank you). Don't get me wrong our entire friend group is queer lf some sort with the exception of two token straight friends, so the topic should be safe with them if I qanted to bring it up more seriously. But the brushing it off has me terrified. They used to talk about a former friend of ours for example when we were in college and you know figuring ourselves out, who used to waffle between their identity and we all (I'm ashamed to say I went along eith it) said they were just doing it for the attention or to go with the flavor of the month.
Well.. I don't want them to think that about me. Karma is a bitch haha. Especially not my best friend. She's been my best friend for almost two decades, we've had ups and downs, we've grown, we've been through everything together. She's like my sister. I don't know what I would do if I figured this out, made some decision, and lost her because of it.
I know that's doing her and our friendship a disservice, we have grown, we aren't in hs or college anymore. She is the most caring and understanding person I've ever met, but I'm so, so scared.
That's not even to speak of my family. My mother took twenty five years to properly accept that I'm gay. She nearly crashed the car when I first came our (not my best timing tbf). My mother and I have finally made great strides in repairing our relationship, I'm not sure I want to rock the boat with even trying to figure this out.
I thought when I moved from Mississippi to Denver that I would leave everything and everyone behind and start over completely so I could figure this out. That didn't happen because life is fucking expensive and I ended up moving with some friends back home, I haven't really made any new friends and I certainly haven't let go of the old. I'm terrified to explore any of this, but I'm so tired of feeling miserable and not feeling like I'm myself. I don't know who that person is yet but I'm 34 and I want to finally finally figure that out and then be them.
So I guess I'm wondering, how do you know? How do you know who you are? And is it possible that I could just be a straight man in a woman's body? While still maintaining my mannerisms? Or maybe I'm just supposed to be a butch 'bean? But that doesn't feel right either. Idk lol pls send help haha I'm not crying while I write this or anything it's fine.
Also sorry this is all over the place.

Can I ask what happened with the Earth/Stud subplot of Friendzone? I haven't seen it.
Apologies if this is a little rude, I won't mind if you don't answer. :)
This isn’t rude at all, Anon! I’d be happy to tell you. But let me start this off by saying that I do not like Friendzone. At all. In fact, my biggest worry going into Only Friends was that it was going to be like Friendzone. Every single character in Friendzone is the worst person you’ve ever met in your life and yet it’s written as if you’re supposed to root for them. Luckily, it seems that P’Jojo has pivoted a bit in Only Friends because even super toxic characters like Boston are still likable. You understand their motivations even if they suck. Friendzone is just a mess.
But onto Earth and Stud.
Full disclaimer: It has been a while since I watched Friendzone and I have no plans to watch it again, so this is just my recollection of what happened. It’s also a wild ride, so strap in.
So Earth (played by Singto Prachaya) and Stud (played by Plustor Pronpiphat) have been friends since college. Stud is a, well, stud. He sleeps with any boy that will have him (mostly AJ Chayapol who I’m pretty sure was only 17 at the time). Earth is in a long-term committed relationship with a much older doctor named Sam (played by Nat Sakdatorn, the ultimate zaddy).
One day, Stud decides it would be super fun to sleep with Earth’s boyfriend Sam. In my recollection of this, Sam put up no fight whatsoever. Stud flirted with him like twice and Sam was just like, “Earth who?” Earth, meanwhile, is just a precious little cinnamon roll who has never done anything wrong in his life: great friend, great boyfriend, plant dad. Does not deserve this shit.
I think Stud and Sam only sleep together once? Maybe? But eventually Earth finds out and is super mad at Stud and not nearly mad enough at Sam, but whatever. It was 2018. Back then it was still okay to blame the mistress.
Anyway, as all of this is happening, Stud starts to realize that he hadn’t slept with Sam because he wanted Sam. He had slept with him because he wanted Earth and was only trying to break them up.
Season 1 ends with Earth still dating Sam (🤮) and I want to pull my hair out at how stupid everyone is being.
But it’s not over yet because there’s (unfortunately) a season 2.
In season 2, Earth struggles with still not trusting Sam since he is, you know, a dirty fucking cheater, but luckily him and Stud are able mend their broken relationship. I think the impetus for this is Stud’s mother dying? Maybe? It’s actually very sweet. The power of friendship and all that.
They start hanging out more and somewhere along the way, Earth decides that a great way to get back at Sam for sleeping with Stud is by sleeping with Stud himself. So that’s what he does. Stud is, at this point, madly in love with him and Earth is well-aware of those feelings, but does not feel the same. It’s deliciously angsty. My favorite scene in the whole series. You can watch it here around the 3:15 mark. (It’s fade-to-black because this was 2018 and we all know that gay sex wasn’t invented in Thailand until Tharntype in 2019.)
Sam finds out—I’m pretty sure Earth just straight up tells him in an act of pettiness I can only aspire to—and rather than ending what has at this point become a very toxic relationship, he suggests an open relationship instead so that Earth can sow his wild oats or whatever. And then the series somehow still ends with Earth and Sam together. Jesus effing Christ, I can’t.
Now that I’ve typed all of this out, I’m realizing it’s basically Only Friends if the reason Boston hooked up with Top was because he was secretly in love with Mew and now I want that so freakin’ badly. Mew is the beer-flavored nipples girl in this show and it’s what he deserves.
I think that’s all? I know it probably sounds super intriguing when laid out in a concise list like this but I cannot stress enough that you should not watch this show. It’s not good. And it’s so freakin’ long. Each season is like 16 episodes and most of it is just a het dumpster fire of trash. I spend every day praying Only Friends stays on the path it’s currently on and doesn’t veer into Friendzone territory. But even if it does, at least it’s gay.

Erica: Advice of the day kids, if you ever meet someone who calls Gatorade flavors the actual name of the flavor instead of just the color then they are a certified nerd.
Chrissy: Yeah but you have to specify, frost glacier or cool blue? You can’t just say blue because there’s more than one blue.
Erica: Blue and light blue, nice try nerd.
(this is 100% Erica, tell me I'm wrong)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Vickie: Sometimes I drink milk straight from the container.
El: The cow??
Vickie: What?
Nancy: El, W H Y?
(that's when Vickie adopted El. Because I saw a post once where Max is Ronance's child and El is Chrickie's child)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin, on a random band name generator: Oooo! They Might Be Depressed Horses! That about sums up my friend group.
(Why horses tho)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
El: If I can't cause tiny bits of chaos every day, I think my body will shut down.
(and that's when Chrissy adopted her)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Erica: Remember that time you dared me to lick a swingset?
Chrissy: No, I said "Erica, don't lick that swingset" and you said "Don't tell me what to do" and licked the swingset.
(You can't tell Erica what to do and what not to do, but I feel like she wouldn't do that tho)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Suzie: Raisins. It's nature's candy.
(She would say that, wouldn't she?)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Will: Some of us are still ‘it’ from a childhood game of tag.
Robin: way to just fuck me up on a Tuesday.
(They Gays™ bonding, also it remind me of the Tik tok when Millie says "it's shocking 'it' took 3 years to come out" and then comes an edit of Will's fruity walk and the text 'it')
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Max: What's this?
Robin, hugging Max: Affection!
Max: Disgusting.
Max: ...Do it again.
(mother-daughter bonding)

Nancy: Here you go, Erica, a nice hot cup of coffee!
Erica: It's cold.
Nancy: A nice cup of coffee.
Erica: It's horrible!
Nancy: Cup of coffee.
Erica: I'm not sure if this even IS coffee.
Nancy: C U P.
(I think she regrets adopting Erica, or well Robin adopted her, but they together so)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Define “dream”.
Nancy: Dream - the first thing people abandon when they learn how the world works.
Vickie: That’s too dark!
(Her in S3? Idk)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Chrissy: If I was married to you I would put poison in your coffee.
Vickie: If I was married to you I’d drink it.
(They're joking.. Or are they 👀.. Yes they are don't worry... 👀)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: Go fuck yourself.
Robin, smugly: Sure, but only if you watch
(Well Damn-)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Chrissy: My friends say I'm the most charismatic out of the group.
Nancy: Well, you always have a smile on your face.
Chrissy: Thank you.
Nancy:
Nancy: What drugs do you take?
(Chrissy probably got them from Eddie)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Chrissy: I'm a firm believer in "if you're going to fail, you might as well fail spectacularly."
(She probably used that phrase for cheerleading once)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
El: Oh, fiddlesticks! That really ruffles my feathers!
Erica: Please, just say fuck.
(Max can teach her)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
El: When life gives you lemons, what do you do?
Suzie: Make lemonade!
El: No, throw them back up in the sky and make life deal with it’s own shit.
(Max is already making progress)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: My life is a little too much panic and not enough disco.
Erica: My life is a little too much fall and not enough boy.
Will: My life is a little too much chemical and not enough romance.
El: My life is a little too much imagination and not nearly enough dragons.
(you tried El you tried, also I just find Erica's funny because of the Russian Elevator thing and the falling)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
El: Why did you guys dress up as each other for Halloween?
Robin: Max is the scariest thing I could think of!
Max: Robin told me I should pick the dumbest costume possible.
(That's love, bitch 🙏)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Vickie: Did you miss me while I was gone?
Robin: You were gone?
(no Vickie hate, but that was me after she didn't shows up until the last two episodes)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
[The Babysitters]
Argyle: Hey Steve?
Steve: Yeah?
Argyle: What's your favorite color of the alphabet? True or false?
Steve:
Steve: ...What.
(That was when they first met, it's canon)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy, handing out popsicles: Which flavor do you want?
Robin: Blue flavor!
Nancy: Uh, you mean Blue Raspberry?
Robin: Blue flavor! Blue flavor!
Nancy: Blue is not a flavor!
Robin: BLUE FLAVOR!
(Erica be calling Nancy a nerd)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: Ducks are better than rabbits.
Robin: What? Rabbits are adorable. Have you ever been in a fight with a duck? Ducks are jerks.
Argyle: Duck is delicious! Rabbit is all gamey.
Robin: We’re not talking about flavour, Argyle!
Argyle: Flavour counts!
Robin: Who carries around a duck’s foot for good luck? Anyone?
Steve: You wrap yourself in a comforter stuffed with rabbit hair. I’ll wrap myself in a comforter stuffed with duck feathers! Who’s cozier?
Robin: Okay, but-
Steve: NO, NO, NO, NO. WHO’S COZIER?
Argyle: Then why don’t we take a rabbit, a duck, stick ‘em in a cardboard box and let them fight it out!
Robin: BECAUSE IT’S ILLEGAL, ARGYLE!
Argyle: ONLY IF WE BET ON IT, ROBIN!
Nancy: I- Jesus-
(No ducks or rabbits were hurt in this quote)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: What do we think of Robin?
*pause*
Argyle: *sighs* Nice pal.
Jonathan: I think they're gay.
(Jonathan has a gaydar?)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Argyle: So Steve was just using me?
Robin: I’m sorry, Argyle.
Jonathan, trying to contain their amusement: You must feel pretty stupid right now.
Argyle:
Robin: Ok, that’s a time-out.
Jonathan: No, I was just trying to-
Robin: Go sit over there!
Jonathan: *walks away in defeat*
(Steve was using Arygle for weed or smth to get closer to Eddie and Jonathan saw it coming. I love Robin)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Steve: We have a problem.
Nancy: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
(derogatory)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: We have a problem.
Nancy: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.
(affectionately)
Eddie: Here is my wall of inspirational people.
Argyle: Is that a picture of you?
Eddie: Yes, I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.
(Would he?.. He would... Or not?.. Idk... You know what, he would)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: Thank God you were there, Nancy. I knew you wouldn't let your best friend die.
Nancy: I'm still gonna arrest you. I just can't do that if you're dead.
Eddie: Whatever you gotta tell yourself. Baby steps. It's hard getting then out of their shell.
(Nancy is a cop and Eddie (probably a criminal...drug dealer) is her best friend or well slow burn best friend (they already friends but are gonna be best friends), anyone?)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Jonathan: Do we have any orange juice left?
Robin: *pours the remaining juice into their cup*
Robin: Sorry, we’re all out.
(When Jonathan was still dating Nancy)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Jonathan: Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm?
Robin: If you can ask the questions without the usual level of stupid.
(same timeline)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: My life is a little too much panic and not enough disco.
Eddie: My life is a little too much fall and not enough boy.
Steve: My life is a little too much chemical and not enough romance.
Robin: My life is a little too much imagination and not nearly enough dragons.
(now this, this is perfect)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy on stage: Everyone's talking 'bout climate change,but when is Steve gonna start talking 'bout some underwear change? Am I right ladies?
Crowd of People: *cheers*
Nancy: *pulls out a gun and shoots Steve until they run out of bullets*
Nancy: *reloads, then shoots Steve until they run out of bullets*
Nancy: *looks into camera after a brief pause* Who killed Steve?
(girlboss, gaslight, gatekeep queen, she slayed, she ate and left no crumbs. I was the crowd btw)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: When I was your age-
Robin, mocking Nancy: When I was your height.
Nancy:
Nancy: Listen here you little shit-
(I love the 'Taller person is younger, and smaller person is older' thing... Because that's me.. I'm most of the time.. Well I'm always smol and most of the time older than my friends)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Steve: May luck (and this picture of Eddie eating shredded cheese at 3 in the morning) be with you.
(that was Steve to Robin after she said that quote above lol)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: Robin, get that hidious thing out of the living room, would you?
Robin: Steve, Eddie wants you to get out of the house.
(affectionately, they are platonic Soulmates)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Jonathan: It's pretty cold outside.. wanna hold hands? We should stay close.
Argyle, blushing: Okay.
Robin: It's fucking summer.
(Robin did it the next day)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: *coughs blood*
Steve: Don't die, Robin!
Robin: Don't tell me what to do!
(I love those fanfics, Robin angst ✨)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Argyle: I'm usually that person who has no idea what's going on.
(the A in Argyle stands for Angel because without him they wouldn't have found El or the pizza dough freezer ✨Argyle Appreciation✨)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Argyle: *shatters a window and climbs through it*
Argyle: *turns around and helps Jonathan through it* Breaking and entering is wrong Jonathan.
Jonathan: Okay.
(yeah Jonathan, why would you break into a house?)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: Hey, did you know as a kid I accidentally ate paper?
Jonathan: I feel like we've all done that at least once.
Argyle: I ate it too-
Jonathan: See?
Argyle:: -On purpose...
Eddie & Jonathan: ...What?
(he did, but I did too..)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Argyle: I'm hot, I’m tall, I'm gay, and I'm on my theatre kid arc.
(Jonathan be having good taste tho)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: You know my motto: carpe diem, carpe noctem, carpe coles.
Steve: Seize the day, seize the night, what’s the last one?
Eddie: Seize the dick.
(I'm not even surprised, but also I'm surprised that Steve knows that.. Robin taught him someway)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Argyle: Everything will be ok. You can not stop it.
Argyle: Everything will be fine. You have no choice.
Jonathan: What the fuck kind of pep talk is that?
Argyle: Ominous positivity.
(Yes)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Argyle: No more making fun of me when I misuse dated cultural references, alright? Are we cowabunga on this?
Robin, sighing: Fine. We're cowabunga.
(I want them to interact)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: I dare you to kiss the next person who walks into this room.
Robin: Screw that, I’m not kissing any of you.
*Nancy walks in*
Robin: Fine, I’ll do it. Rules are rules you know.
Bonus:
Nancy: Hey Robin! Good that I found. I need som-
*Robin kisses her*
Nancy: *blissed out* wha-
Robin: *casually walks back to Eddie* ok now your turn again, Truth or Dare?
(Nancy stands there frozen for a few minutes and just walks away forgetting what she wanted to asked)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: Sometimes, I don’t realize an event was traumatic until I tell it as a funny story and notice everyone is staring at me weird.
(it's just a spicy funny story)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: Argyle-
Argyle: *sighs* Jonathan used to call me Argyle...
Nancy: ...Because it's your fucking name.
(I don't even know what to say)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: Why don’t you go talk to them?
Argyle, sarcastically: Oh. Yeah, sure.
Nancy: What? So you go tell them they’re cute, what’s the worst that could happen?
Argyle: They could hear me.
(Nancy trying to get Argyle to talk to Jonathan)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Steve: Why aren’t you sleeping?
Robin: I’m too busy plotting your murder to sleep, Steve.
Steve:
Robin: ...The nightmares.
Steve: *wrapping their arms around Robin* Awwww, sweetie-
(They definitely cuddle, this is canon, this happened off-screen after Season 3, I love their friendship)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: I like your top, Nancy!
Robin: I have a name, you know.
Nancy: *sighs* Why. Why are you like this.
(it's your fault Nancy, you chose her, now you have to deal with stuff like that. Also imma die on my 'Robin is a Top' hill)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be?
Argyle: Maybe a bit tipsy?
Robin: Drunk.
Jonathan: Wasted.
Nancy: Dead.
(Argyle never made bad decisions, he's too good for that, Steve just stayed silent because he'd be double dead)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Jonathan: And here we see Robin and Eddie in their natural habitat. Texting eachother variations of the word "garlic bread" to try to make eachother laugh.
Robin: Gaelic bread.
Eddie: Grueling brad.
Robin: Ha ha, glamorous beans.
(Why beans 😭 glamorous tho 💅)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Argyle: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the things you lost throughout your life.
Eddie: It would be nice to have my sense of purpose back...
Steve: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this.
Robin: My will to live! I haven't seen this in years.
Jonathan: I knew I lost that potential somewhere.
Nancy: Mental stability, my old friend!
Argyle: Jesus, could you guys lighten up a little?
(did that hit a little too hard? I'm sorry)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Jonathan: The Ocean is a soup.
Steve:
Steve: Do elaborate.
Jonathan: What are needed for something to be a soup?
Steve: Erm... Water, salt, some form of vegetation, and personally I prefer some meat in mine.
Jonathan: *Tilts head*
Steve: The Ocean is a Soup.
Jonathan: The Ocean is a Soup.
(Steve got high with Jargyle)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Steve: Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, and wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Jonathan: That's deep.
Argyle: That means that ketchup is a smoothie.
Jonathan: That's deeper.
Nancy: ...You guys are idiots.
(Nancy found Steve high with Jargyle)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Just be careful, Nancy!
Nancy: *heading out the door* I'm always careful, Robin!
Nancy: It's everything around me that's careless.
(Robin was there with Nancy when they found Steve and Nancy leaves)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin, to Nancy: Look at you! All cute and small! I could just eat you up!
Nancy: *proceeds to kick them in the shin and run away*
Argyle, walking past: Rule number 1, don't call Nancy cute or small.
(Nancy came back and Robin is now high too and flirting with Nancy, Nancy got flustered and angry, and left again. Argyle is spitting facts)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: This is horrible! This is the most humiliating thing to ever happen to me!
Eddie: Oh-? Even more humiliating than-
Robin: We are not doing this!
(Robin after she realized what she said, and Eddie trying to embarrassed her more)
(end of story)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: Didn't you die?!
Argyle: That was weeks ago, dude. Things change.
(I just love the 'dude', it's so him)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
[Random Shit]
Enola, knocking on the door: Eleven, open up!
Eleven: It all started when I was a kid.
Enola: That’s not what I-
Millie: Let them finish!
(I love Enola, and this is so accurate lol)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Enola: Millie, get that hidious thing out of the living room, would you?
Millie: Eleven, Enola wants you to get out of the house.
(Damn)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Enola to Eleven: Me? I'm the bee knees, but, you? You're just...
Millie: Cockroach ankles!
Enola: Ye- uh, what?
(Stop insulting El)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eleven: Hey guys, I found a spider. Cool little lad. Thanks for eating the mosquitos.
Eleven: Oh no, where did it go?
Millie: ELEVEN WHAT THE FUCK?!
(I feel you Millie, also idk if she's scared of spiders, but this is funny)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eleven: I couldn't do this without you, Enola.
Enola: Sure you could. Not as stylishly, of course.
(I love this)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Eddie: Go big or go home!
Maya: Please, for once in your life just go home. I'm begging you. Go. Home.
Eddie: I'm going big!
(That's how Maya reacted (while watching) when Eddie cut the rope)
(I wrote Robin, Maya, Eddie, Joseph, Steve, Joe and with this quote and those two people it chose, it's the only good connection I can think of)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
hope you enjoyed it 👍 Um, that's it 👋 byeee, lots of love ✨🥺❤️✨

Hello, I’m Ameera a 23 years old Muslim lesbian who is trying to come out, I’ve been in the closet with my girlfriend for way too long, because of how dangerous and hard it is to come out as a lesbian to a religious Muslim family, but me and my girlfriend have decided to do whatever it takes and risk it all to come out, do you mind supporting and encouraging us?, though I know we all have what we dealing with, so I’m not imposing we just need all the support and encouragement we can get, check my pinned post for more information on how you can support, if you are a Muslim queer and you are out, please help with tips on how to make it less complicated, any word of advice is also really needed, we really wanna come out but we need y’all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ pride please come through for us, I believe pride is for all
Sounds like we’re about the same age! My family is Catholic, but not especially strict. They don’t really “get it” (especially the non-binary part) but I was lucky enough to not be disowned, which not everyone can say. That said, our family environments are different, so my advice is going to be more general rather than religion-specific. I also don’t know if you also live in the U.S, or in a different country, so again, broad advice that speaks specifically to queerness rather than queer intersectionality (it would not be my place, and I will acknowledge that as an able-bodied, white, culturally Christian queer I have a relatively speaking easy flavor of queerness compared to others due to not facing intersectional discrimination).
I know it can be frustrating to hide who you are, but make sure you are prioritizing your safety. I’m not saying not to come out, that’s up to you, but make sure you have at least one backup plan if things go poorly. Know safe resources, such as a physical location that would be safe to move to if your home is ‘compromised’ and friends or relatives that are supportive and willing to help if you’re in trouble financially or otherwise. Even though things turned out alright for me, it would’ve been smart for me to take those precautions even though I thought things would turn out okay. It’s better to have an emergency plan and not use it than to have no plan and things go badly.
There is nothing wrong with who you are and you should celebrate it and be proud that in a world that’s still not fully accepting, you are existing and not in denial of your self. Regardless of whether there is or is not a God, there are too many queer people to be a fluke, we exist as intended. Gay people and sex-repulsed asexuals who want children often raise children who no longer had parents to care for them. Trans people have encouraged science and innovation to discover so much more about how our bodies and brains function, as well as show the world how important identity is. All queer people challenge the norm by existing and show how arbitrary and strange some societal norms are, and how cisheteronormativity caters to cishets, and even then is rigid and limits self-expression for them as well! You are part of something great and worthy of acceptance and love. But we are also still individuals who are worthy of respect regardless of how we may be “useful” to the world, and those ways I listed queer people help the world go round should not be justification but instead fun food for thought. If that isn’t enough to make you proud of queer people, take a look at queer history. We are certainly not the first generation and we will not be the last. We have PRIDE because our predecessors fought for us to live, not just openly, but to live at all. We’ve come far in some places in the world, but still not far enough. And as long as there is that struggle we will celebrate being alive and queer as a middle finger to all who don’t want us to be. You are part of a demographic of people who are strong because they have to be, who survive when they can and then spite those that hate them by daring to be queer and happy.
You are also an individual, not just part of something greater than yourself. YOU are important, and you know your exact situation better than I do. The fact that you said “dangerous” and not just scary for social reasons makes me think you could potentially be at high-risk of harm by coming out. I’ve heard worst case scenario stories, Muslim and otherwise. It can be tricky to find a good balance of safety and freedom of expression, especially when you’re tired of hiding and want to just throw caution to the wind. Again, you know your situation and your family better than I do. Come out if you think now is the best time. But also take precautions to be safe.
I wish you the best and hope things go as well as they can <3 Be you, be proud, but most importantly, be safe.
