Toni Collette and Monica Bellucci | Mafia Mamma (2023)

#mafia mamma #monica bellucci #toni collette #myedit #filmgif #filmedit #ms bellucci i am proposing #this is deranged i need to chew on some cardboard #two things: their glass is DIRTY. that lens flare is the bane of my existence. #a third thing: #queerbaiting is okay sometimes #(its not but lbr if this were actually gay no one would survive. there would be casualties.)

when i watched season one of house i saw house and wilson interact here and there and i was like oh okay. they could be gay i guess. in a plausibly deniable way. But um. late seasons hilson feels like repeatedly getting hit over the head with a bat and when you finally come to you're lying on the ground watching as the blurry vague silhouettes of house and wilson make out over your lifeless body

#brandy.txt #Like how did we get here #in hindsight i think they were always that way #now it feels like im watching a bad fanfic parody of some sort #2000s queerbait was kind of on top of the game #unfortunately #house md #hilson #gregory house #james wilson

you used to wear newspapers in your shoes.

#i like this moment we’re having to reflect on the absolute euphoria of getting queerbaited by the MCU 2014-2017. it was real to me #people were on here writing next great American novel-tier shit about the MCU #we really did lose the brightest minds of our generation to Captain America the Winter soldier

i can't believe the show about characters being gay and problematic won't let the characters be gay and problematic

#yes this is about nandor and guillermo and the latest interview #i mena it's fine i won't tell the writers how to write their show #but also it felt so much like they were preparing them to be the next pam and jim #don't be mad at me for sowing what YOU planted #the show is still queer and gay and amazing but i feel kinda “queerbaited” ngl? shipbaited? #just the reasoning being he's his boss like the characters haven't canonically done worse #AND them not being in such unbalanced position anymore #foggy thoughts #still love the show #just a little disappointed #maybe it's just easier for the continuity idk #nandermo #wwdits

Yamato asking Ace if he wants to call it a night and Ace instantly, without any hesitation, going "no, of course not, how could I EVER say that when we only have this night to be together?" makes me melt every time. And the way Yamato starts giggling and kicking his feet? The way his eyes shine at Ace's words? Like, "he actually wants to spend the night with me!!!". This is the most teenage romance thing I've ever seen. These two guys were in love.

#please let them kiss #they're not queerbait but it feels like it okay #they were real to ME #one piece #portgas d. ace #yamato #yamace #wano arc

After getting treated like royalty with Good Omens and Our Flag Means Death in terms of queer rep, one really needs to remember to apply their clown make-up when watching shows like Loki and shipping Lokius.

#loki #lokius #loki x mobius #mobius m mobius #marvel #i hesitate to call it queerbait in this instance because i know they were never ever going to be anything more than friends #and i dont think the show or marketing has ever teased otherwise to entice viewers #i will say it feels nostalgic to wear my clown make up again tho #mcu #disney+

[onceandfuturelesbian]

the idea that there can only be one queer person (+ an outside love interest) in tv shows/movies is so stupid and unrealistic

like besties,,,, we flock like ducks

if there’s one, there’s another ten

in the last seven years of my life (age 12-19) my best friend (at the time) came out and there was like a ripple effect, now i’m a lesbian and friends w more queer people than cishet people

i was gonna say i need a show with a Token Straight Friend™️ but that’s literally tao in heartstopper

#this was inspired by supercorp #they were so gay for eachother #it’s not even funny #of every non-canon/queerbaited ship they had the most chemistry #you can’t change my mind #hizzie is also high up there #and merthur of course #but SUPERCORP #lgbtq+ #lgbtqia #merthur #hizzie #heartstopper #tao xu heartstopper

this one goes out to ME IN 2016 or whenever!

#star vs the forces of evil #svtfoe #svtfoe fanart #tomco #tom lucitor #marco diaz #years later and i still don't know how to draw tom's dumb hair #THEY USED TO BE MY EVERYYYYTHING I TELL YOU #baby's first queerbait? #maybe idk! #been in my annual mood of feeling like rewatching the entire show but also rly not wanting to #also i am sorry to my neighbors bc i didn't realize my windows were open when i was singing too little too late earlier today </3

[graciepoetsociety]

i was fighting for my life the first time i watched the c word and i witnessed gregory ‘displays genuine affection about twice throughout the entire show’ house lovingly and earnestly run his hand through james ‘the only person he’s ever truly loved’ wilson’s hair and i to this day have still not recovered it haunts me in my sleep it is imprinted onto my eyelids

#they have ruined my life #the sheer display of vulnerability honesty and love in the chemo scene sent me spiralling #it wasnt even a queerbait at this point #they were undeniably in love #house md #hilson #hatecrimes md #house x wilson #houseposting #gregory house #james wilson

you guys please understand they were going to say “CASTIEL’S PERSONAL HEAVEN” and paper the walls like a teen girls room with pictures of dean pictures of dean’s face PLASTERED onto the bodies of beefcakes all while cheek to cheek blares out. as brought to you by fucking metatron

#cutting an I love you because your actor who’s been kinning this guy for years thinks is out of character: #cutting part of me always believed you’d come back because same actor thinks that’s too gay: #cutting castiel’s personal half naked dean winchester heaven because tptb go hey maybe this is too gay and homophobic. as a bit: #I understand why we’re picking handprint. but I will put forth the argument that this is the bait rounds and that overall #the handprint is less bait and more so the weird boy besties behavior #listen you know I LOVE the handprint. but in terms of genuine great american queerbait #and I mean they put the handprint back on during the love confession at this point that one’s just textual we’re talkin BAIT #closest to bait here I’d argue is the fact they had anna palm it while having sex with dean #like actively pausing the sex scene to just show anna gripping it and dean reacting #but again that’s more. weird. than bait I’d say. Simply because that transcends bait into what the fuck are you guys doing #but at this point cas was hot off the scene by season 9 they KNEW what they were doing and they were DOING it maliciously in a POST YOURE #NOT CRAZY TWEET WORLD

Is satosugu a queerbaiting ship?

there's nothing gayer than those two twinks

#i mean it honestly depends on how you're looking at it #because they're 98 percent canon #with the author assigning them soulmate type connection the gojo kesa #those koi fishs and flower symbolism #all those gay ass lines and how in gege words they fit exactly for each other #but again they were never canonically confirmed so #if you wanna call it queerbaiting then queerbaiting it is #most shounen are like that so i can understand where people of that stance are coming from #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #ask #gojo satoru #geto suguru #satosugu #stsg

[divinisable]

Can't believe there was a time when we fought for our LIVES to prove that there's a chance that Will might be gay and THEN we had the audacity to say that he might have feelings for his best friend and that's CANON now

#i guess you could say we were ahead of our time #requited byler soon #mike is gay and in love with will #byler #miwi #stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler #mlm #gay #byler proof #byler is real #byler endgame #when blue meets yellow in the west #queercoding #queerbait #byler theory

Straight People: These two characters are really close and had romantic coded moments! They'll be together :)

what's the worst thing you watched and kept up with (at least for a while) because you were gay and begging for scraps? mine was probably pretty little liars

#what was her name? emily? whatever it was i was a simp for the lesbian character on PLL #and put up with three seasons of fucking Nonsense for it #words and things #i say 'probably' because there are worse shows i watched for various girls that i had crushes on over the years #but thats a different kind of simping. i didnt watch them for girl kissing i watched them for a girl who i knew was probably straight #gay #lesbian #bisexual #<- yall got it the worst half of these things were subtly biphobic too #oh god does anyone remember that show where the MC was a succubi but didn't know about monsters #so she thought she was just a freak and was always on the run until the monster world finds one of her kills and hunts Her down #and she ends up. idk working at a monster bar and helping her Monster Cop boytoy hunt runaway monsters? or something? #listen what i remember from that is how badly i wanted her and her simp (female roommate maybe?) to fuck instead #and i swear they queerbaited me a little. but i might have just been delusional tbh

[buckleydiazmp4]

i know it's not technically their fault if they haven't watched it (and been in the trenches) but the ppl saying 'oh that show seemed so hetero i didn't think anything would happen' as if henrietta and karen wilson thee power lesbian couple who have had SEVERAL MAIN PLOTLINES weren't there since day ONE. get serious ppl

#this was NEVER queerbait or homophobia. not when they were there. you're just misogynistic #sorry sorry i promised myself i wouldn't be agressive today there's time for disk horse later #but i just had to say this. bye #henren #911 #911 abc #911 spoilers

I’m a little sad that people getting into Rwby now because of the bees will not get to experience it the same way as those of us who’ve been in the trenches since the beginning, but at the same time I’m glad they won’t have to put up with the uncertainty and the absolutely unhinged fandom culture that it unleashed. Because truly the way people were at each other’s throats over this was a sight to behold.

#like I am guilty of contributing #but I also like to cause problems on purpose #rwby #bumbleby #this post goes out to all the sapphics who constantly got told that they were being queerbaited every fucking volume #you can lay down your swords now #you can rest
