Propaganda

Laurence Olivier (Hamlet, Rebecca, Pride and Prejudice)—Any reference article will tell you that he's one of the finest stage actors of the 20th century and (arguably) contributed to transforming the landscape of live theater in the Anglophone world. But this is the Tumblr hot men poll, where it is arguably more important to know that he was an incredibly charming bi disaster who eye-fucked Vivien Leigh so conspicuously that everyone talked about it, both before and after their marriage. I do not have words for how hot this man was. I once sat under a portrait of him in black velvet and tights in the NPG cafeteria, and let me tell you I remember that so much better than my sandwich. I listened to a recording of him as Coriolanus on stage and got full-body chills. I photographed his copy of Richard III in the Folger Shakespeare Library for the sake of seeing his handwriting and his thoughts. ...okay, so I may have a problem, but the point is. So hot. And delivered one of the iconic pre-1970 lines about bisexuality on film ("oysters *and* snails," Spartacus 1963.)

Harry Belafonte (Carmen Jones, Island in the Sun)—one of my favorite things in the world when I'm sad is kicking back and listening to him and Danny Kaye singing "Hava Nagila" together. Or who can forget this man singing the Banana Boat song with the Muppets?? immensely talented, a powerful fighter for civil rights and humanitarian causes his whole life, if you have any remaining doubts PLEASE look at the following pics [clips and pics attached below]

This is round 3 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Harry Belafonte propaganda:

youtube

"Now let me say this about the songs of the Caribbean - almost all black music is deeply rooted in metaphor. The only way that we could speak to the pain and anguish of our experiences was often through how we codified our stories in the songs that we sang. And when I sing the 'Banana Boat Song,' the song is a work song. It's about men who sweat all day long, and they are underpaid, and they're begging the tallyman to come and give them an honest count - counting the bananas that I've picked, so I can be paid. And sometimes, when they couldn't get money, they'll give them a drink of rum. There's a lyric in the song that says, 'Work all night on a drink of rum.' People sing and delight and dance and love it, but they don't really understand unless they study the song that they're singing a work song, a song of rebellion." -Harry Belafonte

Laurence Olivier propaganda:

"THEE actor man. You can't take theater classes and not know about this man. THEE Hamlet. Look at this lil blondie. VERY talented. (we are ignoring him also playing Othello, no he should not have done that) He was a pretty baby"

#harry belafonte #laurence olivier #i WILL keep the drag king picture in the propaganda i like it TOO much #round 3 #hotvintagepoll #fuck that old man #Youtube

So, this is going to be a little meandering and all over the place. But I'm trying to express this...web of thoughts I've been having lately around this issue of queer, and labels, and the way we talk about our history and the way the community conceptualized itself in this very digital age. And it's still kind of half formed, so...let's see.

So. OK.

One thing I see a lot online, especially with people who are just now coming out, is a sort of...overfixation on increasingly niche labels. Im not saying that having a very specific or newer label is bad, to be clear. Labels are rhetorical tools, use what is useful. They help with visibility and discussing specific issues. No issues there.

But watching people quibble over bi vs pan vs omni vs abro or non-binary vs genderqueer vs demigender vs genderfluid vs agender vs xenogender vs bigender vs gnc. Asexual or gray ace or demisexual or queerplatonic. And whether they are a biromantic lesbian demigirl or bisexual greyaromantic genderuid. And it's always just a little exhausting, ya know? Again, if those labels are meaningful and useful, that's great, but I see people *agonizing* over which they "really" are. Like if they pick the wrong word to describe themselves, they are coming out the wrong way, like they are wrong about themselves if they can't find the exact correct word on an FAQ list of lgbt vocabulary.

And how I think that relates to the way people talk about our CURRENT labels as though these labels have always been there and like the people described by these labels now have no common experiences with other labels. Like lesbians and bisexual women have absolutely nothing in common. Like butches and trans men have no shared history. As though trans women and drag queens have always been completely separate and unconnected groups. As though ace folks and nonbinary folks are somehow new to the scene, and not community members who were always here and just didn't have a separate label until more recently.

I *remember* watching the community make the switch from transvestite and transsexual, to differentiating between transsexuals and transgender, to basically just using transgender/trans. Those labels are not stagnant. None of our labels are some ingrained biological unchanging objective truth. Labels are rhetorical shortcuts to summarize this facet of our identity and lives and experiences- but they are just words.

And maybe this connects to the way people get really...weird about historical figures too. Like whether Sappho was a lesbian or bisexual, as though either of those words would have had any meaning to her. About whether Shakespeare was gay or bi, like he would have conceptualized his own identity that way. About what modern label Dr. James Barry would have used for himself if anyone could travel back in time and ask him.

And then I think about why queer feels so much more affirming, so much more a place of strength, than LGBT+. Not that LGBT as a label is bad, and I honestly probably prefer it for allies and outsiders to use. But as a community label- Queer, to me, says that all our experiences are queer experiences. Queer can be many things, but they are all queer. Regardless of how many genders or which specific genders you like, whether you have a romantic and or sexual attraction to whatever collection of genders, whatever thing your gender is doing today- all of it, ALL of it, once you step outside that cis, straight mainstream sexuality and gender norm- is queer. Equally queer.

Lgbt+ feels like we are still keeping all those labels separate, little boxes all lined up next to each other- different but a coalition. And while that isn't bad, I also think it isn't totally true.

[A caveat here, that there are times when more specific labels are very helpful. We don't want any specific kind of queer experience to be overshadowed or erased, and having more specific labels facilitates those discussions. Again, I'm not saying that we should eliminate or erase our more specific labels.]

But I think imagining our community as a collection of wholly separate groups that are just allied together, instead of one group that we are all equally in, can make it far too easy for exclusionists to sneak up and say "well ___ isn't REALLY lgbt. THEY aren't REALLY one of us. ___ dont belong."

If we take all the labels off all the crayons- red and pink and purple and blue and teal and green are not hard and fast divisions. They are artificial distinctions we have made- all of them are light, all of them the rainbow.

Anyway. I just think that, while everyone should use whatever labels bring them joy and are useful for them, we might be better off if more folks were ok with ALSO accepting the vast ambiguity of being queer.

#queer thoughts #queer rambling #maybe Im off here or missing some nuance #but Im bi AND queer #Im bi and genderqueer AND queer #and I think theres strength and beauty in seeing our diverse experience and saying YEAH all of us are in this together

Jason Todd tropes that are bad and ruin JT's extremely based character:

1.Him being uncultured/stupid(Speaking as an active comics reader who has him as his main fix,this is literally a lie-He's a genius and has been since he was Robin as seen by his grades and a big Jane Austen and Shakespeare fan.I still can't believe i saw a poll calling it fanon,there's a canon panel of him reading Pride & Prejudice in prison and he quotes Shakespeare all the time💀)

2.Him being a hyperhorny pervert(Just because he's hot that dosen't mean he's trying to get into people he barely knows' pants and y'all are ugly asf for forcing your weird little assumptions onto an incredibly traumatized man based off said trauma.Also for the simps this is why y'all can't get boyfriends)

3.Anyone but Duke being his favorite sibling(Duke was NOT the only other Batkid he never had beef with for y'all to minimize Jason and his love for eachother.'Little Wing' isn't canon,it's time to move on)

4.'The rebel Robin'(Don't buy into DC's classism guys)

5.Speaking of which,let's just pretend the Roy and Kory deal never happened period.Ableism and racialized misogyny aren't made okay because OMG POLYAM REP!!!!!-Sincerely,a polyamorous and mentally disabled black woman

6.Both the erasure of his soft and redeemable side and the twisting of it to make him a perfect person

7.Pairing him up in age gap ships(He kills pedos,he's not gonna be into any of the whole ass entire children y'all aged up as an excuse to cover up your k*nks that leave you bitchless)or hc /oc Batkids(same deal,he's canonically an incest hater)

Jason Todd tropes that are good and have a basis in his character and add on to him:

1.Him being smug about what a nerd he is but getting big mad when someone uses that word for because he's 'too cool for it'

2.Him being demisexual(see Artemis and Rose evidence)

3.Duke and him being brothers who're also like chaotic and teasing best friends,with a side of Cass hating his ass and him being scared shitless of her with neither budging until he stops killing and then they become the definition of 'siblings who're mean to eachother to show affection'

4.Keeping his pre-reboot Robin characterization since a big part of the tragedy is that he was an extremely sweet ray of sunshine who still had trauma responses and then DITF changed him forever but not completely

5.His Outlaws team being HIS OWN CAST because he deserves to be his own person and his friends deserve to have their characters respected instead of literally just existing to prop him up.My personal hc is Eddie,Rose,Artemis,Kyle,Thaddeus and two ocs but i'm open to other ones!!

6.Giving him justice and letting him keep his duality core trait.He's extremely cruel yet unbelievably kind,he's got high intellect yet makes dumb mistakes,he's full of anger and sadness yet far from without happiness or calm moments,he's a grump yet very fun and so forth!!Also:He's definitely 'not knowing how to deal with kids turned Team Dad' at this point and i would love for that to be included in more Dead Robins Club content!

7.Pairing him up with the Outlaws i mentioned and Superfam ocs(i'm shocked this second one isn't common,aren't you guys always saying every Bat has a Super as their soulmate????Major L on y'all's part)

8.Go nuts with projecting your identities onto him!!!To me he's afro-dominican,bi,a trans man and neurodivergent asf just like me and it feels super good so i highly recommend it!

writeblr intro!

Well, hello there! Welcome to my page! Thought I'd finally get around to writing and pinning an intro, seeing as my writeblr recommendations post has gone STRATOSPHERIC and I've followed so many new accounts!

I'm Jeb (he/him), 20 years old, and an aspiring writer, poet and disaster dork from New Zealand (who currently lives in the UK - England, to be more precise). I'm a huge lover of writing and reading science fiction works, particularly hard sci-fi - Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series and his novel The Songs of Distant Earth were the works that inspired a young me to start taking writing seriously. I also write fanfiction, romance, horror, a smidgen of fantasy, spy fiction... whatever takes my fancy, basically! I also love writing and reading poetry, and hope to have some of my poems published professionally by the end of 2023!

Outside of writing, I'm a huge motorsport lover. Formula One is my main passion, and in fact I originally joined tumblr to post about my then-WIP, The Edge Of Control. TEOC may be in cryogenic storage, but my love of speed and high-octane racing remains: I regularly watch F1, IndyCar and the World Endurance Championship. I also love spaceflight, astronomy, Shakespeare, teen movies from the 80s/90s (ESPECIALLY John Hughes' work), many cheesy romcoms and lasagna. (What? It's literally the perfect food!)

Right, now with all that out of the way, let's get onto the real good stuff... (sorry in advance for the lack of taglists, I haven't remembered how they work!)

links to my work:

jebberjabber on AO3 (my main account, for fanfiction) degnercurve130R on AO3 (for F1/racing works) KesslerCascade on Wattpad (for original works)

works-in-progress

You Can't Take It Back Now!

type: fanfiction (fandom: Bittersweet Candy Bowl, Webcomic) genre: romance (of the sapphic, friends-to-lovers variety) summary: Sue and Amaya have been best friends ever since they met in second grade. They're proudly inseparable, but when a secretive confession from Amaya turns into a sudden kiss from the assuredly-straight Sue, everything changes. Can they navigate their friendship while dealing with their rampant emotions? Is it just drama, or did Sue have more investment into their kiss than she let on? status: six chapters currently complete, with two published on AO3! Bi-weekly updates planned. link: You Can't Take It Back Now! on AO3

White Sky

Seeking refuge aboard the cislunar debris hauler Dowager Caroline, Kat and the Caroline's motley crew discover that her framing was simply a cog in a much bigger plot - one with dire consequences for mankind... status: currently in the planning stage, rough draft established and plot outline written

works published on Tumblr:

An Acquired Taste - In a post-cyberpunk/solarpunk imagining of 22nd-century New Seoul, a corporate engineer makes a chance meeting with a street vendor and makes an important discovery.

Executive Decisions - In an alternate history where the Cold War went hot, a US Air Force nuclear-bomber crew face a moral dilemma as they near their Soviet target.

Hello, i was wondering if u think roy accepting that hes gay/bi/likes jamie might change how he views his own gender id? Or maybe goes out of the way to make more lgbt friends or idek, just really curious what you think about it. Love ur blog!

I don't think it would affect his gender identity per se (as in I don't think he would stop identifying as a man) but I definitely think it would challenge the way he perceives his relationship to masculinity and manhood.

I can absolutely see him trying to make more gay friends!!! He went to a gay bar with his yoga friends and hung out with drag queens :( I think he really wants that connection with other queer people but struggles to make it because it would require him to be vulnerable and open

I'm obsessed with the idea of Roy and Trent trying to hang out because they're both late-bloomer gay men in their 40s but kind of feeling awkward because superficially they have zero experiences in common. Like, they can't really talk about men, because Trent is into silver foxes who drink fine wine and enjoy Shakespeare, and Roy is into young hunks who drink blue raspberry alcopops and read at a 5th grade level. Roy has always been in the public eye and Trent hasn't. Trent is a father and was married to a woman for years before coming out, and Roy's longest relationship with a woman ever only lasted a year. But they get to talking more about their experiences and how alienating it was to be closeted in the sports world and how they always feel like they've had to hide things from the people around them and realize they have more in common than they thought. And then they start talking about football and that's when they really start hitting it off lmaoooo

#ask #gay roy is so special to me. holding him to my chest forever #roy kent #trent crimm

This is the Buddy for October 5th. Funny, eh? That's cause it's a trace, the original's a still from a show, see:

It's Scrubs! It was a fun show. I love comedies like that. See, in this scene, J.D. is about to kiss his girlfriend Danni, and he's not looking forward to it because she smokes so much, it's like kissing a giant cigarette. I can't say I don't relate, kissing a heavy smoker is like licking an ashtray.

The thing is... they did kiss a lot when they started dating, and it never bothered him before. Did she manage to hide the smoking before their first break-up? Or, is it more likely that she only started smoking some moment after the break-up? You see, in between those events, Danni's brother Ben died. And after that episode, Danni started being portrayed as a chain-smoking, drinking, self-destructive trouble girl.

So, a lot of fans have that theory that Danni's just lashing out at the world after Ben's death. The writers say that's not the case, though.

I listen to some podcasts that complain about fan theories, and I disagree, I think they're often pretty interesting (but if I stopped listening just because I disagree about one thing, I wouldn't be allowed to read, watch or listen to anything). In Scrubs' case, the fan theory matches the plot and works better than the 'official' explanation. That gets me thinking about the idea of Death of the Author in fiction.

Death of the Author isn't so much about fan theories as it is about interpreting works of fiction in a way the author didn't intend. There are lots of different levels of applying it to a work. Let's take a Shakespeare play for example, since those are often subject to different interpretations:

In All's Well That Ends Well, Bertram, the Viscount of Roussillon, rejects a marriage proposal from the beautiful and intelligent Helena. He also has a close friendship with the effeminate Parolles. Once he finds out Parolles is a coward, and Helena managed to trick him into giving her his ring, he marries Helena.

Some of the different interpretations of the story can be:

Bertram rejects Helena because she's of a lower class (that's the 'official' explanation).

Bertram is secretly in love with Parolles, i.e., he's secretly gay or bisexual.

Bertram is gay or bi, but he himself doesn't even realize it, which is why he's so conflicted about marrying Helena.

Shakespeare (or the story's original writer) based Bertram on a real person, and this person was gay or bi, with or without the writer's knowledge.

There's some other reason, lost within the folds of time, for Bertram to reject Helena - possibly a cultural reference that only made sense in the early performances, or some aspect of Elizabethan England culture we aren't aware of.

There is no reason for Bertram to reject Helena, other than for the plot to work. If that's the case, the writer's more of a hack than anything else.

I don't exactly believe any of those theories 100%, because there really isn't a way to know. But the idea of Death of The Author is that it doesn't really matter what's the real story, but rather what makes the most sense reading it. On one hand, that sounds seriously unfair for the writer, who might have wanted to make a point, but on the other hand, if he didn't want people to have opinions about his story, he shouldn't have published it.

So, looking at the different interpretations up there, I could say 'one is true, the others make sense, although unintentionally'. It's one thing to say a writer made a character be secretly gay, and a whole different thing to say the character's secretly gay without even the writer being aware of it. But it does happen. A writer puts on the page what he sees in the real world, after all. If a real person has a secret the writer isn't privy to, can't we say a character based on this real person might have the same secret?

Although that doesn't really apply to the Scrubs example. That case's much clearer - writers wanted to retool a character, because they wanted something that was a better fit for the actress, and because her function as a character changed (they wanted a 'bad girlfriend' character so J.D. was even less happy.) But the fan theory is more interesting, so, why exactly is is wrong to go with it?

Heya, I hope you’ve had a nice week so far! I looked at your blog and I love the reasoning you’ve put behind your ships so I was wondering if you could do one for me? Im bi btw.

Appearance:

Im 5’8, skinny but only ever wear oversized clothes (cos they are comfy), I have brown eyes plus brown hair and a bump in the bridge of my nose, and I’m pale (I’m 100% Scandinavian), I have grown out bangs and a slightly shaggy hair cut. No tattoos or piercings.

Personality:

I read like their is no tomorrow, read all the classics (from Brontë to Shakespeare), I normally analyse them too - for the fun of it. I'm a very nurturing person and often let my friends stay at mine if they have had an argument with whoever they live with (i get the text/call and I'm ready with mac cheese and cookies plus whatever their movie preference is already present ready). Im in Uni currently but my room is meant for 2 but theres only me in there.

I spent my GCSEs and A-Levels tutoring maths to my friends and others cos maths is hard, lets just be honest. (I live in England and have done since i was a toddler)

Likes:

The colour blue, rain, Metallica, Kiss (who I've seen), Lana del ray, Mitski. Fruit.

Dislikes:

Drugs and Alcohol (I've seen what it does to people and its scary to me), Romeo and Juliet.

anyway hope you have a nice week.

hi thank you for your request sorry for the wait! (i also did get your side note and it was no problem! i did kinda forget what exactly it said so if there was another ship you wanted just send me another ask and i would be happy to redo it!)

STRANGER THINGS: johnathan!

you and johnathan are the kinda quiet couple in the back of a room but everyone knows you guys are just chill and secure. i think you both would have a very stable relationship. you would have probably been friends before you got together so your dynamic just flows naturally. i can see you guys keeping a little cabinet full of everyone's favorite foods so they know they're always welcome to come over. when you guys were in high school i can see you giving johnathan study sessions for free but he would learn absolutely nothing just because he'd be focused on you and not the material. you would scold him for it all the time but he's so whipped he can't help it. overall y'all are just chill and don't have much drama...although i can see johnathan being a romeo and juliet kinda person so you'd have to set him straight there.

i hope you enjoyed! if you have any feedback feel free to let me know i love hearing what y'all think!

if you would like to request a ship they are open as of 6/28

#stranger things request #stranger things fic #stranger things ship #stranger things imagines #stranger things #ships #johnathan byers imagine #johnathan byers ship #johnathan byers x reader

✿ a small introduction ✿

nice to meet you, my name's Maya, and I use she/her. while I've always been a writer, I've discovered a new passion for literature and poetry, and came here to express this with like-minded humans :)

a little about me:

junior majoring in english and psychology

my favorite type of writing to do is essays where I get to argue a point and synthesize information

ridden with adhd

ridden with other less quirky disorders

virgo sun, aquarius moon, libra rising

my pfp is my cat kenny!

some of my likes include animated stuff (kid's content specifically), shakespeare, astrology, animals, rocky horror, harry potter, music that attacks the senses like emo, pop punk, and rap, and youtube duos like gus and eddy, drew and danny, and supermega

bi but very sapphic

what you can expect from this blog:

original poetry & short stories

reblogs of some writing tips

posts about my favorite works

aesthetics

some fandom posts (limited primarily to hp, supermega, rhps, tangled, and a couple video games)

maybe the rare fanfiction which I can't imagine would be anything other than hp or tangled

I'm really excited to share my work and read pieces by other people on here! I want to meet more creative people, not just those who like what I like, but people who have writing they want the world to see. I hope we can follow each other and see where this blog takes me <3

same anon- omg maybe i should elaborate on that because. i don't think it was at all intentional and it'd be weird as hell if it was canon but he REALLY reads like that to me as a gay man. like to put it briefly i think the reason he can't ever seem to satisfy his desires is because he's looking in the wrong place. idk to me he just doesn't seem that interested in any of the women he sleeps with

oh i mean your interpretation is absolutely valid 100% and far from me to say that my opinion is the Only Valid One, so feel free to ignore the rest of this answer if you don’t want to hear why I don’t think he’s gay but, I repeat, You Are Valid, it’s simply not a headcanon that vibes with me.

It’s me being a Nerd time under the Read More link

1) There’s nothing that actually suggests that Villefort could be gay, because from a textual/analytical point of view there are no references or comparisons to popular historical gay figures, which writers usually exploited as a “code” to signal the character’s homosexuality.

In The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is arguably one of the Gayest Books ever written, Basil’s love is compared to Michelangelo’s (gay Italian sculptor) and Shakespeare’s (Bi Icon) love – I could go on a longer rant about this but I’d be going off topic – who were fairly known to be gay/bi (modern definition) – although not as much as today obviously.

Eugénie, for example, is compared to Sappho – that’s clear hint at her being a Bigass Lesbian. In fact, in Dumas, it’s the only true “proof” of a queer character, except of course the parts where the character was historically gay – such as Philippe d’Orléans or the Chevalier de Lorraine in the d’Artagnan Romances or even Henri III in the Valois Chronicles. Henri III wasn’t exclusively gay, but back in the time he was rumored to be (no this isn’t Gay Rights), in the same way his sister Margot was rumored to be incestuous: not true, but Dumas played on this aspect for Fun and Drama.

Also Coconnas and La Mole in Queen Margot are rather obviously in a romantic and sexual relationship, it’s definitely there, but not as obvious and heavily coded as for Eugénie.

SO. SORRY FOR THE DIGRESSION. In short, Dumas didn’t intend us to read Villefort as gay, but then he didn’t intend us to read Franz as gay, and when has that ever stopped me? so go for it anon.

2) I don’t really agree with the part where you say that he can’t ever seem to satisfy his desires, mostly because Villefort has satisfied all his desires. He’s rich, he’s powerful, he has a respectable family, an obedient daughter, a faithful wife, he has a respected and feared name. Basically he has all he’s ever wanted.

I’d argue Danglars is the one who can’t seem to satisfy his desires, or even Fernand, or even Caderousse, but imho certainly not Villefort.

3) I’m not sure I agree with the he just doesn’t seem that interested in any of the women he sleeps with part either, because we don’t really see him interacting with women in an intimate situation? (except in the beginning with Renée where he is in love with her and of course except when he sleeps with Hermine) so we can’t really know his feelings??

Considering his attitude towards Renée, I’d say he was interested in her sexually and romantically.

We only see his relationship with Hermine through Bertuccio’s eyes, so of course he’s not going to say “Villefort had a giant boner for her”, and the second only time they interact is when they are a) discussing the disappearance of their illegitimate dead child’s corpse, b) witnessing said illegitimate dead child wrecking absolute Havoc in their life – so again, showing whether he was sexually attracted by her or not didn’t serve the story.

Plus, I don’t think Dumas ever showed his sexual attraction towards a woman or a man because he may have wanted to emphasize the image he gave us: the Stern Cold Man who only thinks about his Career and the Respectability of his Family Name and who Only Shags his Wife in order to conceive Children – which does go against his actual behaviour (you know having a mistress and such) but appearances are what really matter. I’m not sure I’m making sense??

Anyways this was just my two cents and my personal opinion, obviously you can see the character however you want.

Why can't Larries analyse a simple text like the song Boyfriends by Harry Styles? Styles is not Shakespeare ffs.

The whole thing is addressed to 'you', someone who H knows who is having a hard time with her boyfriend, and he extends it to a theme of how badly some men treat women. How is that theme about Louis? Harry is doing what Taylor did in Folklore - telling other people's stories.

(I think HS is bi & has had relationships with men in the past, but I doubt he'd keep going back for more if he was treated badly like the person in the song does. He'd dump the guy and be onto the next. He's been with Olivia since November 2020)

Well, i have no idea what you are talking about. I didn’t hear the song or read the lyrics, and I don’t want to hear the song or read the lyrics. I want him to go on a break so I don’t have to hear or see him for a good 2 years.

Anon, nothing is real with him so don’t try to analyze his lyrics because they aren’t real. It isn’t about him, it isn’t about his experience, it’s about a concept that he works with 6 other people and then changes things to fit with his image.

Why would Harry Styles sing about how bad men are in a relationship If he is the man in the relationship? To fit a disgusting narrative that’s why… and all that while he is dating a woman, again.

#anon #i don’t know I can clearly see #through this persona that waves flags and sings girl songs but is always around the same people and dating woman #he has literally the worst people around him and he doesn’t have genuine old friends #that tells you everything you need to know about all this
