#they're here they're queer

[solo-ojo-jojo]

Schrödinger's queer, a concept embraced by fandoms and fic writers for as long as fan fics have existed.

"Penelope should have chosen Debling!"

My sister in Christ. . .he literally dumped her???

Like just before Colin Bridgerton was on his knees after outrunning her carriage to profess how he can't stop thinking about her in his love me, choose me, I'm yours speech, Debling did the Regency equivalent of calling her a floozy who would undoubtedly cheat on him when he abandoned her for several years to chase his passions (because she would never be one of said passions since she asked outright if he could ever come to care for her and he went 'hmmmm seems unlikely! good thing you have solitary hobbies to occupy you instead!') when he has been given 0 evidence of such other than realizing she liked to look out the window because she had a crush on the boy across the street. I was ready to challenge that man to a duel for Pen's honor

His feelings for her were middling at best, I mean Christ on a Pogostick, after he asked her mum for permission to propose he isn't even happy when he opens the door and Pen is there? She's looking like a snack- nay, a whole ass MEAL, and he can't even smile? He just nods at her and dips the fuck out? You don't think it would kill Penelope to know that both her sisters have husbands who absolutely adore them and she's out here with an absent dude who likely won't even write to her?

Portia's 'Love is make believe!' speech is so transparently full of shit when you realize that we've got Dankworth who is so obsessed with Prudence that he makes heart eyes at her every waking moment and considers her his little bonbon and Albion who loves Phillipa so much that he was waiting for her to consent to sex (not realizing she didn't know what it was) for two entire years because he would never pressure her and so he was content with finishing in his pants when he kissed her to make sure she was comfortable. And you want Penelope to settle for a life of loneliness? When Colin is so besotted with her that he dreams of her and breaks every societal expectation in the book as a notorious People Pleaser to run after her and cannot even wait for the morning after being intimate with her to introduce her as his wife to his family in the middle of the night? You want her to turn down Mr "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible" Bridgerton? For LORD PENGUIN?

Be so serious right now

#polin #bridgerton #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #lord debling #good old alfie d giving us absolutely NOTHING #'it would be so great to have a husband who is never there so I can live my life in peace!!!!' like. . .are you sure. . .you like men? #as a queer woman i get it: he'd be great for a wlw because like byeeeeee who needs love from a man when i can be left alone w/ my hot besti #but like. . .penelope wants love. . .and she DESERVES love and she wants her husband to love her!!!! #the featherington husbands are obsessed with their wives and you want pen to be out here alone in a big house? for why????? #tell me you hate penelope featherington without telling me you hate penelope featherington #she deserves her hot ass husband who finds her in every room and event they're in and hypes her up and eats the same food she does #so he can taste what she tastes #and kiss all over her and take her on his travels and show her the world and inform her that she's fantastic and kiss her all the time #and show her how much he wants her no matter where they are #LIKE BE FORREAL #you really want penelope out here with an absent husband so she can keep writing a gossip column that makes her cry all the time? #byeeeeeeee

psst stop scrolling ensign!! happy trans joy tsaturday (brought to you by the triumvirate <333)

doing this a little differently this time. but these are mcspirk affirmations in my heart... there's no wrong way to be trans. and we deserve to experiment, and present in ways that feel right to us, and to grow old and wrinkly and be happy. these guys support all of us and they know that it's possible to be comfortable in your own skin and that you always deserve to feel trans joy. they're proud of you. they want you to know that you will be okay and they believe in you.

bonus t4t4t mcspirk! look at them go <33

You say you want a "radical counter culture gay movement" but you're too busy arguing about identities that make you mad!! You've missed the whole point!!

people who complain about how "there are no straight people on tv anymore! it's all lgbt! that's not how it was back in my days!" have clearly never watched Torchwood cause i swear there's not one straight person in this show and it aired in 2006

#honestly i wish more shows did that today #just have the whole cast be queer #but it's not related to the story #there's no coming outs no drama revolving it #everyone's just here and they're queer #cause that's how queerness should be treated - like something normal #torchwood #captain jack harkness #gwen cooper #ianto jones #owen harper #toshiko sato

One of the things noone talks about about growing up as queer in extremely queer-phobic society is how it can damage your ability to connect to people on deeper/emotional level. Because friendships are all fine and dandy, but when you get too close to someone questions of who you like would inevitably come up. We live in cisnormative heteronormative society after all

And kids/teens aren't stupid, they can tell something is off. So whenever difficult questions come up you either have option to lie or tell the truth and pray 1:9 chances are in your favor and your "friend" isn't queerphobic and won't tell you to seek therapy. And even if by some miracle they aren't, they'd still avoid talking about your sexuality/gender experiences because deep down it does makes them uncomfortable. That's closest to accepted you've felt irl, so you keep quiet

At school you hear peers talking about hanging out after school; open hanging out, everyone's invited. When school bell rings you're packing stuff and going right home

#in that manner I'm sometimes envious of westerns how they talk about lgbt+ stuff so freely irl #when here i never met a young queer person #and even if there are some they're in closet with internalized queerphobia and woud never openly talk about it #understandable tho #lgbt+ #lgbt #queerphobia #aromantic #asexual #aroace #lesbian #gay #bisexuality #transgender #tagging most bc im curiosity of this is unfortunately common experience or just something that simply happend to me #regardless of my identity

do you even like macdennis if you can't handle the fact that mac is also a piece of shit to dennis

When I first started typing this out I apologized for this vent but you know what? I'm not the least bit sorry, the BG3 fandom needs to hear this.

Being a queer fan in this fandom is beyond depressing, even more so if you're a queer dude or masc aligned person. It's like being transported 10-15 years back in time and I mean that in the worst way. Back to when producing queer content whether M/M or F/F would at best get you passive-aggressively ignored by the majority of fandom. Worst case involved doxxing and financial ruining people for writing characters as queer just in case you were wondering what that was like back then.

If you're trans of any stripe then it's even worse.

People will bend over backwards to defend this with preferences but you've conspired to create a climate where events will be promoted no matter the content as long as straightness can be assumed and centered, but the moment an event is created to specifically promote and create queer content it is suspect and needs to be vetted before it can be considered if it can maybe be promoted.

The BG3 fandom's frankly reactionary and conservative behavior is almost making me regret picking up this game in the first place. It is certainly making me regret getting involved in the fandom even in a small capacity. This isn't a place where fans like me are welcome, the best we can hope for is being allowed to be tolerated and only if we accept living at the edge of it and lived for too long in a world where this is all I'm ever allowed to put up with it in a space that's supposed to be for fun.

#astarion acunin #gale dekarios #karlach cliffgate #lae'zel #shadowheart #wyll ravengard #halsin silverbough #gale of waterdeep #minthara baenre #why the fuck is this fandom so conservative and reactionary #i swear it's regressed a decade compared to others #and no there isn't a single argument any of you can make for the state of things that i haven't heard a million times #since the mid 90s #yes i've been in online fandom for as long as the www has been a thing #i've heard them and heard them again and you know what #they're no different from the arguments real life conservatives and reactionaries give #for why queer and trans people shouldn't be included #why we're suspect by simply existing #and bg3 fandom really need to do some self reflection here #and yes #i'm stuffing this in everyone's tag #just be glad i'm not putting it in more

Mariana and Sherlock's favorite pass time is embarrassing John, they meet up on Sundays to record their "blush-o-meter" results of the week.

#This is canon #To me at least #In my heart #I love them #screeching #They're in a queer platonic throuple in my heart as well #They're the holy Trinity #Didn't think I'd like the show adding another character into Sherlock and John's dynamic but they do it so well #That sometimes when I'm engaging in other Sherlock Holmes content #I get confused bc where's Mariana:( where's their girlfriend:(( #If she was here that wouldn't have happened:((( #Or it could have been worse.

Critical Role is just such a warm and wonderful gift for wlw representation.

We have the two who saw each other from opposite ends of a bumpy broken road, who braved rain and thunderstorms and faced obstacles and hurdles but were always on track towards each other - even when they didn't know they were, even when they couldn't see they were - until the rain got lighter and they started walking with purpose. And then they finally reached each other in the middle, embraced and never let go.

And we have the two who started on a bumpy broken road together, who are braving red sand storms and go over obstacles and hurdles side by side and where at some point intertwining each others hands for support and comfort - so that they always know they're still walking together, even when they can't see and there's too much sand in their eyes - and then never letting go was just the right descision to make.

#this is a positivity post #please don't come here to argue about which ship is better #they're so different #and therefore offer different meanings #different ways to relate #and a different catharsis #to every individual who's watching #and that in itself is meaningful and amazing #we all enjoy different things #and cr has something to relate to #for so many different queer experiences at this point #we should celebrate that! #critical role #imodna #beauyasha #wlw #cr3 #cr2 #cr spoilers

Uriel and Little Ash from When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb, one of my fav books of the year (which came out today)!

#i just think they're neat.png #it's abt an angel and a demon causing trouble in early 20th century New York it's very Jewish and queer and incredibly charming :) #cant wait for my physical copy to get here so i can reread it #my art #books #when the angels left the old country

Has Hazbin Hotel made anyone else forget about heteronormativity?

Oh of course these two characters are dating. And of course one of them has a pathetic crush on this other character. Oh, they're all men? I really haven't even thought about that.

I mean, they're a moth, a tv and a deer, does their gender really matter?

#i legitimately saw a post about vox realizing he's also into men #and i went #wait that's unusual??? #oh right #the real world exists. and it sucks. #i didn't need to be reminded of that #hazbin hotel #hazbin alastor #hazbin vox #hazbin valentino #staticmoth #(again i know they're technically not dating) #radiostatic #(one-sided) #and these are only 2 examples #almost all the ships are queer and i'm here for it #heteronormativity #lgbtq #queer #i'm not sure if tumblr will like this post or not

Every so often I come across people going on about 'queer is a bad word, I'm not a terf but we shouldn't use that word in community/academic/etc settings, don't call me queer' and just

Okay

You're not queer

I won't call you that, no one should call you that, and anyone that does is being an asshole regardless of their identity or minority status. It doesn't matter what reasoning you have behind not wanting to be labelled as queer, what trauma you may or may not have, what you've identified as in the past and present, and whether or not your preference just comes to not liking the vibe of the word for entirely inscrutible reasons. No one has any right to pry.

If you say you're not queer, then you're not queer, and that's okay.

It just also means that if I, a queer person, talk about the queer community, then I'm not referring to you. If an academic refers to queer history and queer texts written by queer people about other queer people, they're also not talking about you. If a corporation starts using 'queer' in their ads then they can eat shit because fuck 'em, they have no fucking right to use our words when they aren't and have never been one of us, but if a well-meaning ally uses 'queer' as a one-syllable shorthand for LGBTQIA+ in a verbal conversation, then there's no reason for you to get any more annoyed at them as you would if they used the word 'gay' instead.

You have every single right to be labelled or not labelled as you like, and I will stand behind you all the way. If someone is trying to shove 'queer' on you when you really don't want it? Then I will happily, metaphorically, deck them in the face for you. We are still family, whatever you choose to call yourself, and it's important that we stick together.

But

If you aren't queer, and you get frustrated when you see queer people talking about the queer community, take a deep breath, and consider:

They aren't talking about you
