#maybe it’s just because I’m gay

[wolfsword87]

When I step away from the show and think about cap I get really wrapped up in his tragic gay backstory and of course I love that but then I go back and rewatch the episodes remember the other reason I love cap which is that he is so silly!!! He is so silly and so very autistic to the point that even though there is no evidence to suggest it was on purpose it feels so very on purpose that I can only lead to believe Ben’s portrayal was influenced by other autistic characters and they just. didn’t realize. because there’s no way captain isn’t autistic have you seen the way that man unapologetically stims and structures his entire day he is so silly and I love him.

#me too captain #bbc ghosts #the captain #the captain is autistic #maybe it was on purpose but I’m skeptical especially because they’ve never said anything #I think it’s more likely he was inspired by other autistic characters and so took those traits without realizing #and I love that he doesn’t try to mask and no one else around him judges him for it #he just suppresses the gay not the autism

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

Truly great moment was Ryo fresh out the hospital jumping out of his car and sucker punching this poor guy to steal his motorcycle. Imagine having to file that police report about how you got knocked the fuck out and your shit stolen by some shirtless blond severely injured 17 year old freak. I would just let it go. Thankfully that guy didn’t have to live with the shame for much longer though considering how the story goes

#ryos satan spidey senses telling him his ride or die is in trouble is one thing but him managing to grab a gun on the way out is always #funny also . i especially liked in the ova where he’s also wearing a black cloak that you have never seen him wear before . like did he stop #by his house on the way there #like I mean I guess it could have still been in his jacket. maybe hospitals in the 70s just didn’t care about that kind of thing #but in the ova he has a full on sniper rifle so. i think they had the idea for that one shot and were just like guys this has to happen #ugh guys I promise I liked devilman because of the themes and stuff okay I promise I’m a smart media comprehending boy but it’s just #of course I’m a little obsessed withthis gay freak . he’s entertaining until . uh until it isn’t fun anymore. yknow . #actually why was I embarrassed about liking a character in a story that’s actually normal

Okay but like

How much of the Tolkien fandom is homophobic?? Because from my experience Tolkien nerds are always either very homophobic or very queer positive, and I have no clue what the pie chart would show for how large each population is. It’s made me quite afraid of the fandom because I don’t know how to end up in only the gay parts and have had too many unpleasant encounters with the homophobic parts…

I know my exposure is only to a specific set of fans, so I don’t feel like I have enough experience to estimate and I’m just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#sam and frodo out here being jonathan and david levels of obvious #and yet the christians will wail if i choose to see them as more than besties #i have no issue with christians but i’m t i r e d #i’m so tired of people throwing a fit just because their homophobia reacts with my gay #let me read my books in peace i want left alone #but maybe i’ve just been exposed to a loud minority in the fandom? #¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #tolkien #lotr #silmarillion #sam and frodo #bagginshield #is also a super cute interpretation #i know tolkien didn’t write Gay on purpose #but for valar’s sake let me ship fictional characters in peace

au where scar retired as hotguy because he wanted to settle down and make a quieter life for himself after an injury, but he gets called back into the field for one last hurrah…. he gets paired up with a new hero named cuteguy, who matches his aesthetic and fighting style and is probably the prettiest person scar has ever seen…..

#scar blushing whenever grian so much as looks at him #and grian looks at him…. a lot #because grian has looked up to scar since he first got into the field and maybe has a little crush and oh my god he’s actually real #and they blush and flirt a lot and there’s so much forced proximity but they really REALLY don’t mind #but like cuteguy and hotguy would see two beds and still decide to sleep in one just because they are gay #you know so it’s like ‘forced’ but also very very encouraged #scarian #desert duo #hermitshipping #grian #gtws #hermitcraft #trafficshipping #au concept #unretirement au #? i guess that’s what i’m calling it #😌

i don’t think we’re ever getting out of the “we’re just friends” “oh yeah those characters are such good friends (sarcasm)” “they’re not friends they’re gay” etc etc hole. we’re never getting out of that hole

#yes it’s bad when people try to erase gay relationships to portray them as friends and nothing more #that is NOT what i mean. i’m talking about when people do the Opposite Thing and decide that when characters are romantic togethr #then suddenly they’re not friends anymore! or if they say they’re friends they’re lying! #like … i was watching nimona with my friend yesterday and like. if you’ve seen the movie you know how obviously gay and in love bal and #ambrosius are. and then there’s this one moment where ambrosius says ‘i have lost everything the man i love my best friend’ and at that #moment my friend was like It’s sad that they decided to censor their relationship even though this movie is still rly gay :( and i was like #WHAT are you saying ? these two men are clearly in love with one another BUT they’re also best friends. Like those are things that can #coexist!! and DO coexist!!! there are many cases where people consider their romantic partners their best friends . or even refer to them as #their best friends more than just partner!!!!!! LIKE WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGGGG . does anybody get it #does anybody understand #i’m so sick of amatonormativity i’ll start eating drywall #yes i love making ‘oh they seem like really good friends’ jokes because i know how most people interpret those jokes. but to me it’s like #well. they ARE really good friends. they’re just also romantic/gay about it. ghhehghh #maybe one day friendship will stop being seen as something lesser maybe one day people will realize that most romance is also friendship #and your partner can be and in most cases is your friend or your best friend even #and maybe one day we’ll stop acting like friendship & romance are two mutually exclusive things #and maybe sure that gay character is calling their love interest their Best Friend because of denial and repressed emotions and whatever #but have u considered that it’s just true and they really are best friends ?? like when crowley calls az his best friend sure that might be #gay denial but they also literally Are best friends i don’t know what to tell you. and they will always be best friends #DOES ANYBODY GET IT !!!!!!!! js any of this making sense i dont know. I love complaining #crammerposting

Okay here’s another controversial “Green family take” tell me if I’m wrong.

“People who hate Harumi and Lloyd family dynamic ignore that Lloyd and Morro also shouldn’t have a family dynamic, when Morro did the exact same thing”

Because besties I agree I honestly think green cousins doesn’t make much sense either since yknow Morro and the whole possession thing, but at the same time if you look at canon, they just aren’t the same thing and yknow I need people to actually stop looking at Harumi as the girl version of Morro and the only reason we hate her is because she’s a girl.

Because she’s not.

Like yes I agree there’s definitely a lot of bias towards Morro, if he was woman he would be demonised to hell and back but since he’s man then he is adored, and vice versa with Harumi and sexism fucking sucks.

But Harumi and Morro are different guys. Harumi is portrayed as worse in canon in Lloyd’s eyes. Yeah Lloyd got possessed by Morro and that’s obviously bad tm but other than what people assume possession entails, Lloyd was never as shaken as he was with Harumi.

In s5, we never saw Lloyd be conflicted about the possession thing. He had no fear of Morro. We have no reason to believe that a ghost possession feels worse than being a sleep and maybe having a vague awareness of what’s going on. He barely mentions Morro after s5. And I will say I think this is a writing flaw, obviously it would’ve been cooler if Morro actually had some kind of impact on the ninja, but regardless this is the canon. Lloyd hates Morro but he’s not traumatised yknow. It’s not to the point that Harumi got to.

I feel like getting possessed should be worse than getting lied to, but Harumi did on top of it, start a cult in his name, Kill actual Characters (the royal family and Hutchins) and then kidnap Lloyd and his mother and his uncle and then resurrect his father removing vital parts of his father’s mind/personality/emotional cognitive abilities etc. on top of that she also nearly killed the ninja and wu (which Lloyd believed she did).

Somehow she was much more dangerous than Morro was, she was a much more successful villain.

Additionally I would say Morro has more of an excuse to be seen as family, even if I I’m less of a green cousins fan. Because Morro and Wu actually have a father son relationship, in which Wu was actually responsible over Morro. They had a normal albeit imperfect dynamic before Morro left. Regardless of Lloyd and Morro’s interactions, that dynamic was still present even in the very end.

It doesn’t mean and Lloyd and Morro have to be buddies, just because there’s a family connection doesn’t mean shit (this is the show of found family have we learned nothing? Blood connections don’t matter, only friendship).

But like in comparison to Harumi and Garmadon’s absolute parody of a relationship, where Harumi turns to the man who doesn’t remember what love is and asks him to be her father (at this point neither of them know what “father” even means), Morro does have a family dynamic and Harumi does not.

So in response to the original quote, Morro has a much more solid claim to any kind of family dynamic bc his relation to Wu is much more family esq, and also he was bad yeah, but the show portrays Harumi as worse especially in Lloyd’s opinion.

I just don’t like the argument that Morro and Harumi have done the same things, when the severity is definitely different imo and they aren’t just copies of each other. Imo it’s an oversimplification to reduce their characters down to each other.

#u heard it here first #spicy is not the biggest fan of green cousins or Garmadon siblings #sorry #if ppl make good content for it then I’ll let it slide but generally not a fan #i feel bad for saying it but I guess I really just don’t like Harumi as much #i feel like whenever people talk about Harumi it’s always ‘oh you hate her cuz ur sexist’ #no I hate her because I don’t like how she’s written or how her character is established #like Ik some people like her backstory but I just don’t #it just feels like the writers went ‘let’s blame the characters for no reason’ #and I’m just so sick of the evil love interest trope I hate it so much and that is what Harumi is on s8 #because it’s happened 3 times now #THREE #PIXAL SKYLOR HARUMI #It’s that mindset of women are evil they’ll seduce you with their crimes against human nature #okay that tag is gonna sound very appealing to the gays on here but like in the context of the show it’s just demonising women #like take out the romance aspect and fix Harumi’s backstory and maybe I’d like her more #i will say Morro is badly written also he does nothing interesting really other than his backstory #i like what he means about wu but like they do not even explore that dynamic much in the show #he’s like an unopened present #his set up is so good but they don’t do shit with it #idk idk #obviously all my opinions #ninjago

there’s something so freeing to me about the idea of billy, steve, heather and robin just fucking off out of hawkins and living in a shitty little apartment together in a city somewhere

#billy hargrove #steve harrington #heather holloway #robin buckley #harringrove #buckleway #god i hate that town #like i genuinely can’t express how much i need them out of there #fuck hawkins all my homies hate hawkins #nothing but bad vibes now #putting them in a shitty little apartment in a city #where there’s plenty of gay people #because i think they all need it #i mean billy had that #but the rest of them need it i’m telling you #i genuinely just feel like robin would thrive being somewhere with more going on #and heather and steve could do with being away from their parents #experience a little culture people c’mon #let them go into the 90’s in style #maybe it’s because i didn’t grow up somewhere like that #but it just feels stifling idk #even without all the weird shit #i would go insane after a full day there #billy was so valid for hating his life there #so true of you king #the only spin off they do should be this actually #but it’s a sitcom #then i’d watch it #jargyle have to be in it too though #ickyspeaks

why do i get the vibe that canon/book tom doesn’t know what gay people are

#does this make sense?? #he just doesn’t look like he does #tom riddle is gay don’t get me wrong!!! #but also . he just looks like he would be FLABBERGASTED if you explained the concept of LGBTQ people to him #tom riddle #OKAY NO BECAUSE NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT #IT DOESNT SEEM RIGHT FOR HIM TO KNOW ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF STRSIGHT PEOPLE EITHER #maybe he just isn’t aware that romance exists #I’m gonna go with that

I’m so sorry Watcher babes I’m gonna miss Puppet History but I’m not joining on your journey away from YouTube ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#ramblings #listen as someone who pays for a hyper specific subscription service I understand the thought behind it #but I LITERALLY started using dropout because I was in the middle of a season of a very long episodic series and they were like #‘sorry babe but you only get the gay pirates if you pay us’ AND I DID #because I was so desperate to continue the story #like that’s a huge reason why dropout works #because they have HOURS of episodic content AND variety stuff #and listen this might just a personal thing because sure I like watcher but I’m not a massive ghost show fan #so like maybe it’s for those folks #but I just think the structure doesn’t fit as well #who knows #point is no more PH for me :/

You knew my mother was here | Moth Work

Lonan has stopped paddling. The canoe sits in the middle of the lake, lifeless like a bone in the water. He’s turned so Harrison sees him in profile and can’t tell if it’s relieving or worrying to see his face. Lonan’s jaw is taut, like there are words he wants to say but can’t. Filling up the hollow bone. He blinks slowly, like he’s trying to re-centre himself, his chest quivering with breaths meant to steady him. The water laps at the base of the canoe, whirling like his head. Dark hair tangles down his cheeks like the fingers of a poltergeist.

“You knew my mother was here,” Lonan says.

“Yes.”

“How?”

“Research.”

I’m reading Good Omens again and thinking about how Crowley and Aziraphale aren’t really men and aren’t really humans etc. Then I started thinking about the sentiment that even if being queer was a choice, people would still choose to be queer and how Aziraphale choses to appear as a gay man. He choses to be the kind of person who gets called “the southern pansy”. That’s a choice that he made.

#gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. southern pansy. talking like a poofter. #good omens is FULL of people being derogatory towards aziraphale because they perceive him to be a gay man #and yet he doesn’t change #my own post #i think that’s why all the talk about how he was (and is) a gay auntie are so close to my heart #of course he would be! if you’re going to make the choice to be perceived as a gay man with all that entails why wouldn’t you take every #bay gay and struggling queer sibling under your wing? especially if you’re an angel #aziraphale is - at his core - a good person. a kind person. and he chooses to make the lgbtq+ community hos community #he makes that choice. and he sticks to it. there’s got to have been easier things to have done throughout history but no. #aziraphale is one of us because he chose to be. #and we can too. maybe you can’t choose your gender or sexuality but you can choose to be part of the community and you can choose to be out #and those are important decisions. big decisions. we always have choice and I’m so so proud of everyone who chooses to be here #that being said. quoting from bbc trigonometry- what you’re doing is brave as hell but it’s just as brave to walk away #it’s brave to be out. but it’s just as brave to be in. not in the same way no but it takes courage all the same #aziraphale #good omens

#they can bond over their murder families <3 #Jack: I’m a hunter :3 || Abigail: :) me too. in a way. #just two very normal friends. so so normal #also because it is hilarious to me to imagine a situation in which Hannibal Lecter has to have the Winchesters (and their plus ones) over #Will is loving it. He enjoys watching gay on gay violence. or inciting it. #Abigail knew this would go badly. she is causing problems On Purpose. Jack is just happy to be here #are they eating people? maybe but that’s not the point. #actually no wait they figure it out and Sam & Dean are like 😨 #meanwhile Jack is like :/ so? u were gonna let me eat angels? what’s so different? #castiel (hypocrite) trying to explain why. Lucifer (camp) pointedly asks Hannibal for a recipe. #Hannibal breaks his second wine glass. will is in hysterics.

as much as a i understand and respect ace kiryu truthers, i really feel like kiryu is the type to really take the idea to heart that sex is something vulnerable and meaningful and thus reserved for someone completely trusted and special to him– someone who feels right. after years and years he’s still never legitimately voluntarily slept with someone, always tries to turn women away or is at least apathetic when they try to get physical with him, never feels that deep and specific bond with a woman– nothing compared to some of his bonds with other men throughout his life. and maybe, hopefully, one day it’ll hit him that there’s a pretty big, glaring reason why no women have ever felt “right” to him.

#I’ve become a pretty devout gay kiryu trigger at this point #it just. makes the most narrative sense / is the most narratively interesting / explains So Much #kiryu #yakuza #kazuma kiryu #honest to god though it’s. the most realistic way of explaining why he jumps to the assumption that he must date or kiss a woman or whatever #as soon as possible with little to no room to actually fall for one #with yumi he’s literally in the classic comp het situation of ‘well someone told me I’m in love with her so I guess I’m in love with her’ #no deeper thought no proof of falling for her etc #sayama’s more convincing and they start out actually building a dynamic that could end up being romantic maybe- but then they fucking jump #the gun and have kiryu randomly kiss her like something he saw in a movie instead of. you know. talking about things first. or anything. #partly because they’re in a life or death situation and are essentially pushed together via traumabonding #and that’s Extreme when it comes to the end of kiwami 2. honestly that makeout scene was just. really weird and uncomfortable. for multiple #reasons. I mean for one he says something like ‘I’m sure she (haruka)’ll understand’ in between the making out in reference to him not #even trying to get further from the bomb or anything #and just lowkey choosing to kill himself (disturbingly similarly to nishiki mind you) like uh kiryu did you forget that haruka. literally #lost her mother in an extremely similar situation. in front of her. and nearly lost you at the same time. kiryu’s personality is Not one to #just shrug off something like that- either he was purposefully choosing to kill himself because he felt like a failure and that haruka would #genuinely be better off without him Or the writing there was INSANELY out of character as to make him seem more focused on the supposed #Romeo and Juliet tragic romance situation than saving his daughter the grief of losing EVERYONE CLOSE TO HER and reliving the worst night of #her fucking Life #god if anything the ending of yk2 just screams ‘this relationship would not work out under normal circumstances and both of them are just #clinging onto whatever’s closest out of desperation and need for any kind of emotional catharsis available’ #if you can compare a pairing to romeo and juliet . it’s probably not #a pairing that’s meant to be #sorry im going off on a huge tangent about how weird the ending of yk2 was to me uhhh anyway I could write a video essay on why kiryu being #gay is the most realistic and interesting interpretation of him possible . send tweet
