This quote alone explains so much about why so many of Stephen King's characters are written as though they're queer. Stephen King thinks that there is nothing gay about a man being in love with another dude. Like straight guys just fall "deeply and passionately" in love with guys sometimes. He unintentionally created so many queer characters because he thinks that falling in love with members of the same sex is something straight people do.
i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
