i wish i could take the time to parse through my taylor swift is/isn't a gay icon thoughts on here but i fear people on this website don't know how to behave

#like she isn't a gay icon. but she is a lesbian icon? but like in different ways than gay icons have historically been gay icons #basically what i'm trying to say is that her status as a lesbian icon has literally nothing to do with her interactions with the lesbian #community. like i don't feel particularly revered or nurtured by her in the way someone like gaga has taken the time to #actually sit with and deliberately cater to gay culture for example #like it's different. #and almost entirely fandom-led #whether taylor is actually queer is also irrelevant to this #am i making any sense? #like okay i think you could argue she did a little bit of it in 2019 but we all know how that felt/came across #she's better at being a gay icon when she's explicitly not including the queer community in her work or acknowledging them in any way #because it's literally not of her own volition #and i'm honestly not convinced it's an aspect of her art or fanbase she considers #sometimes it feels like it actively makes her uncomfortable #and yet she really has become entrenched in modern day lesbian pop culture iconography in these last few years #anyway this isn't me Saying Anything. i'm just thinking about it #vi is typing...

Wanted to do a piece related to Mika’s music for a while :) he’s definitely one of my all time favorite artists 

#mika #michael Holbrook #had 10 year old me in a chokehold!! My first queer icon probably #listen to Life in cartoon motion and or The boy who knew too much #or no place in heaven actually #just. Mika in general #original art

see okay on one hand i was not expecting buck to go bi tonight but on the other hand i was thinking that abc was gonna add some queerness to 911!!! maybe i’m biased bc i watched greys anatomy but especially in that show they’ve never been shy about writing queer stories! they literally introduced a bi character back in 2009. and not in like a “she’s bi and she’s gonna date one (1) woman and then never talk about it again” way it was straight up like “hey this character is gonna have serious queer relationships and then they’ll both have their own storylines and identities and then we’re gonna create a web of fictional queer doctors in this show and even have several different queer relationships at once and not just a few that all date each other” when literally the bar for the time wasn’t just low it literally didn’t exist. idk. anyways abc shows are for the queers!!!

#btw sara ramirez i love you <3 #(they literally jump started it all by suggesting to the showrunner that their character be bi and i will forever love them for that) #listen i could write an essay about how queer greys anatomy is and how they just fuckin blew expectations for queer rep out of the water #and way past that and how they’ve actually used their platform as a literal tv icon to show tons of different representations but i’ve found #that most ppls eyes glaze over real quick #911 #911 abc #buddie #911 spoilers

[hirakiyois]

do you think ryan's eye started twitching when he moved from the episode 13 script to the episode 14 script knowing damn well he was going to whorify eddie in 13

#buddie #911 #911 fox #eddie diaz #evan buckley #buck #he give it his all to make eddie a queer icon in 13 #and then they said actually he has to go on tia pepa sponsored dates now #and he started packing oliver and gavin away #i was there for it all

dreamworks jack frost. disney peter pan. they're both aro in my mind.

#my thoughts #aro tag #after reading actual peter pan i've been thinking abt how much i'd love to write some 'aromantic peter pan' take #i think we should consider peter an aro/ace icon #he already gets to be a queer icon for lesbians gays and trans folks i think the Aros deserve a slice of the peter pan representation pie

[flaticeball]

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the “they’re so gay for each other fr” jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesn’t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.

#gav gab #saw someone reblog the actual bracket intro post with among other things #‘mom come pick me up they’re calling tseguin a gay icon in 2023’ and like #LMFAO. YEAH. FOR REAL. YOUVE SEEN WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE SEDINS YES? #anyways get outta here with that shit #people have gotten real confident with the ‘they’re about to fuck at centre ice’ thing and saying hockey is a Super Gay Sport #which is a fun joke to make with your friends online ig #as annoying as i find it generally #but you do understand this isn’t real yes #and i know the bracket is not making claims about reality #but what it IS doing is including players like eric fucking staal #in a bracket for Gayest NHL Player #and the real life actions of staal actively make the sport unsafe for queer athletes and queer fans #stop mistaking jokes about hockey players fucking each other or writing rpf about that as any kind of activism #or any kind of actual reflection of the nhl #how do you think this is an appropriate thing to do for so many reasons lmao how are you including some of these guys on this #even before you get into some of the other insane behaviour going on in this bracket existing #‘I didn’t pick the contestants!’ you did you. you’re in charge. #‘just hope they get voted out’ don’t include them at all what’s wrong with you #why do bracket creators always act like it’s some kind of mandatory moral imperative they include every single thing nominated/voted in #you have agency here lmao. use it. fucking spineless. #rpf for ts #adjacent enough anyway #homophobia cw #why would you do this #lmfao the brief scroll of that blog i took the amount of ‘propaganda’ that’s just ‘this guy has friends’ #wild. genuinely wild. #one request id like to make to the liveblogs this year too on a vaguely tangentially related note is #reign in your blatant and unrepentant amatonormativity please #from your local aro

10 characters, 10 fandoms

thanks @hesbuckcompton-baby @footprintsinthesxnd @jump-wings @cody-helix02 and @merriell-allesandro-shelton for the tag!

since five people tagged me i'm gonna include a few extras bc i couldn't narrow it down to ten :) i also decided to do characters outside of hbo war since everyone knows my faves already

faramir – lord of the rings

dick grayson – dc comics

kendall roy – succession

adam kenyon – the thick of it

desmond hume – lost

nanami kento – jujutsu kaisen

varian fry – transatlantic

roy kent – ted lasso

jamie tartt – ted lasso

john constantine – comics & matt ryan

tim gutterson – justified

marjan marwani – 911: lone star

tk strand – 911: lone star

gethin roberts – pride (2014)

jesper fahey – six of crows (books only, but despite me not being a fan of the show, the casting of, and performance by, kit young was impeccable and was the perfect choice)

i think most people got tagged in this over the week whilst i was at work so i don't think anyone is left for me to tag but if you haven't done this yet, please consider yourself tagged!

#julian did a tag game #gethin roberts is so special to me #as a gay welsh man whose mother doesn't accept him gethin's story arc actually broke something inside me #so even though andrew scott isn't actually welsh it's the one time a fake welsh character hasn't annoyed me #colin from ted lasso doesn't annoy me anymore it did at first but us queers have to stick together so he's my babygirl now #i was saying in the group chat yesterday how i have two brands of men: dark and brooding or smug smartarses #and i feel like this list kind of reflects that #apart from marjan who is just iconic and above it all #and faramir who's just a sweet angel who deserves nothing but happiness in the world #they're all a little bit (a lot) fucked up though so maybe that's where the venn diagram connects #ok so the official categories are: #dark and brooding #smug smartarse #fucked up baby boy #and every single one of them fits into one or more #marjan has her own category and that's just: iconic

Making a post on tumblr because I know there's a lot of us here.

Anyway! Asexual Awareness week is quickly approaching us! (I think it's Oct 22-28 this year). I've made some aro-spec pride flag icons that a lot of people liked and I would love to do some for ace-spec this time too since that identity is near and dear to my heart lol.

I'd like to hear from other asexuals what micro identities you'd like to see! Each icon will feature a dragon with the text "ace-spec as heck" on it with a flag as the background. If there's a specific version of a flag you'd prefer, let me know and I can do that one.

Let me know in reblogs, comments, or asks (anon is on, I don't bite) what flags you're interested in!

Had a dream where I was back in high school in a math class and my teacher was just. Incredibly disrespectful about my identity/pronouns. So I swapped to the other math class section with a different teacher

And new teacher didn’t use my pronouns either, but it still felt better. And then someone broke my desk. And someone asked me if I made the right choice swapping, because neither teacher used my pronouns, right? And I just had this moment of such clarity, of, “yeah, he doesn’t use my pronouns. He doesn’t always use the right name. But you know what? He’s angry someone broke my desk, and I know that if he finds out who it was, they would be in trouble. And it wouldn’t be like that with the other teacher.”

Just. Utter clarity of the definition between someone who doesn’t understand pronouns but still sees me as a person deserving of safety vs. someone who maliciously doesn’t use my pronouns as a way to communicate disrespect and thinks that means I don’t deserve to be safe

#my dreams #rip to my high school history teacher who got cast as the villain #but also neither of these teachers were math teachers #it was my highschool history teacher and my high school art teacher? #very out of character for my history teacher. but honestly pretty in character for the art one #do I think my old art teacher would have used my pronouns? no #do I think he would have bitten then head off of someone who was messing with me? yes absolutely #terrifying man. used art as a coping mechanism for his war experience. 10/10 #I think this dream is a reaction to my new job actually #sat down and had a very emotional but helpful conversation with my director about pronouns and use of them with clients #my supervisor is a queer elder who is confused but supportive #told me that if non-binary were as known as it is today back then supervisor might also identify with it #but supervisor is apparently too old to come out *again* #which what a mood #man being non-binary is fucking hard #nothing but respect for my fellow they/thems and neo-pronoun users this shit is EXHAUSTING #also shoutout to the dream bit where bad teacher was like ‘haha and is that an apple’ when I was holding a banana #and I just fully ignored him. didn’t even acknowledge the ‘joke’ #an iconic move if I don’t say so myself

This morning I received revelation while listening to Metallica's cover of 'Turn the Page' (Bob Seger, 1971). And the revelation was:

If 'Easy Rider' (Dennis Hopper, 1969) were made today, it would be about trans people.

I SAID WHAT I SAID.

I will double down and say 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' and 'To Wong Foo' were, in their a-little-confused-but-got-the-spirit way, attempts at fix-it sequels where the social, sexual and gender outlaws on a road trip *don't* all die at the hands of frightened social conservatives (spoilers, sorry).

Fear and hatred of the counterculture was dripping with gender panic, from would-be mothers having free love on the Pill to would-be breadwinners growing their hair long and becoming hippies. The main characters are called "queers" and told to cut their hair, and I don't think the moral of the story is that what happens to them is only bad because they fucked women after all.

"So you walk into this restaurant, strung out from the road

And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold

You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear them talk, other times you can

All the same old clichés: "Is it woman? Is it man?"

And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make your stand

Make your stand"
