really dislike having to break it to goyim that (((this))) is in fact a nazi thing and not just a cute way to signify whispering through text.

True that bi characters in m/f pairings are valid, but like…

Are we just going to ignore the fact that tv writers in the last 10 or so years have figured out that they can continue to pander to homophobes and simultaneously get queer rep brownie points by never showing any actual queer content at all, having a character in 52 different m/f relationships, never once alluding to them being into same sex stuff… and then just giving a one sentence easily-edited-out vague confirmation of them being bisexual?

You guys are so starved for any confirmed queer rep at all that you’re perfectly happy letting film companies get away with this shit and it’s frustrating as hell honestly.

#like? I’m tired- #this is about the Loki show specifically but it applies to quite a few others as well #I see mfs on Twitter (and on here) all the time fighting to the death to defend Herron and Waldron etc over the bi loki thing #when like #babes??? #WHAT bi loki thing?? #if you had reached for an m&ms at the wrong time you would’ve missed the entirety of the show’s Bi Rep completely #it’s almost nonexistent #I’m begging young queer people to demand just a tad bit more #fucking please #antisylki #anti sylvie #anti loki series #queer representation

kinda weird every time i see the 911 cast do like. the emmys. hand out an award. go on a red carpet somewhere. like, intellectually, i know they're on a top rated tv show that isn't niche in the slightest. logically, i know that angela basset and peter krause are not little names. but like. sometimes i see them and realise they don't just live on my tv and they have whole careers and people know about them and its not just me and a handful of girlies on the internet. its like. regular people too

#911 #911 abc #talk #no one i know has ever heard of the show before i bring it up #so i just have this experience of it being unknown despite how popular it actually is #its that clip going around of angela and peter giving out an award at the emmys #and my absolute shock that theyre there or they would be invited #when like #angela basset deserved an oscar for black panther 2 #shes a BIG name #why am i always so surprised by this

The most lukewarm but still somehow controversial take: I don't think a very close bond between islanders and eggs, where they are close and clearly love each other, needs to result in the islander being considered the eggs dad/mom/parent

#I have a pet peeve of any time people see an egg and their fave get along they want their fave to adopt the egg #when like #no??? #there is no need??? #Being their tios and tias and abuelo etc. is JUST as important #if the egg wants to be adopted then by all means they can work that out among themselves and the eggs parents #like what happened with Bad and Pomme or Pac and Ramon #but being someone's uncle or aunt doesn't lessen anything about the bond they have

oh my god guys just because a weapon is ranked “low tier” doesn’t mean it’s impossible to be good/have fun with. A weapon being low tier means that, on average, it struggles to do well. AVERAGE. Sure, you might get 20+ kills with your aerospray in turf war, but that doesn’t change the fact that aerospray is low tier because ON AVERAGE it struggles to do anything else but paint. Just because you’re good with it doesn’t change that fact. With the right amount of skill, sure, almost any weapon can be good, but some weapons are easier to be good with than others. That’s what tiers mean, not “this weapon is amazing and everyone should use it and this weapon is dogshit and no one should use it.” Tier lists are an attempt at an OBJECTIVE ranking of how well certain weapons do ON AVERAGE in various situations.

And forget fun, that’s too subjective to be ranked anyways. Tier lists aren’t about that.

#splatoon #so sick of ppl being like #‘HAH I get 20 kills with the undercover brella ALL THE TIME in turf war CHECKMATE PROCHARA’ #when like #that’s not what tier lists are #sure there’s some opinion involved but it’s based at least somewhat on the game itself #for example: competitive players don’t use tacticooler a lot bc they just decided it’s good #it’s bc tacticooler is objectively busted #anyways I will scream this from the rooftops until ppl actually understand this #(which will probably never happen sadly)

look this isn't universal or a hard rule but I think as a general rule of thumb if you can adequately summarize the whole plot of a flim without once having to mention the culture (or any cuturally specific elements, i.e. specific holidays) which the characters belong to, then maybe the film is not actually explicitly About that culture. Even if it does feature it.

#this is about encant0 #and conversations of like #No you can't read this as being about neurodivergence or queerness #Or on occasion Your Specific Cultures generational trauma #bc it's set in THIS COUNTRY and it's ABOUT that specific kind of generational trauma #when like #it's a Disney film. #It was pitched and conceived of by white dudes and the culture was added later. #it's really not. #'Abby nobody cares about that anymore why—' idk man because I keep thinking about it

[lesbianutena]

seeing people go on about how naive and foolish and blind and stupid utena is and i’m just sitting here like. she’s 14! i disagree strongly with the idea that utena is willfully or maliciously ignorant. like yes, while i think she does often fail to fully comprehend whats happening (especially in the last arc) she’s also finding herself in increasingly horrifying and new situations with no point of reference for how abnormal it all is?? she is doing her very best to make sense of things as a 14 year old child who has no parental figures or guardians, no friends who aren’t also somehow in on the manipulation happening to her, nowhere to go outside of ohtori. and that is on top of trying to navigate her experiences and identity as a queer and gnc person!!!! i feel like folks are wildly overestimating the comprehension the average closeted teenage lesbian has of systematic heteropatriarchiarcal cycles of abuse! she’s literally 14!!! save the scorn for the willfully ignorant for akio

#idk. ig it feels a little victim blamey to me? #not saying it Is that just that it Feels that way #i think the self-blame she experiences for failing to realize sooner is at least IMO internalized victim blaming #anthy and utena both blame themselves for shit that is fundamentally Not Their Faults #theyre each like wow im a horrible person for getting caught up in this cycle of violence and dragging this person i care for down with me #when like #idk yall i think the problem deserving of scorn is the teenager fight club run by a serial r*pist 💀 #THIS IS just my opinion i would love to know other ppls perspectives #this isnt vagueing anyone i just see that sorta take a lot and im like #idk! its not a Wrong interpretation or anything but it just rubs me the wrong way #idk maybe i just see a Lot of my younger self in utena akhejshsjs #& ive been thru this sort of situation where bad shit is happening to u and u dont know its bad because you have zero frame of reference #utena tenjou #rgu meta #rgu spoilers #rgu #revolutionary girl utena

why do you think stevebucky lost that poll? is it because of endgame? recency bias? the other ship being canon?

Most important reason is just this website sucks.

But it's multifaceted.

Biggest bit is just stucky fans are older, probably have migrated off the website, or at least are not engaged in stucky fandom anymore. It's been a while, it happens. Canon said fuck you, get gone, so many did.

But almost equally as big? OFMD people have a victim complex the size of fucking mars and use polls to exercise said victim complex. It's undeserved--they've been called out and mocked for valid reasons--but like... also a WEE bit deserved in the sense that they are THEEEE punching bag because OFMD is so emblematic of so many things people on this website are annoyed with--diversity to pretend to be "inclusive" and "progressive" while the narrative is the opposite, people who think "gay" is a genre, the weird acting style that's camp... but it's intentional and so it's just like... pathetic and theatrical in an annoying way, so it feels more superwholock than it does like... whimsical... the slavery apologism is a big one, can't forget that... the Taika stanning that popped up right when everyone realized he's a. annoying and b. kinda fucked up (the antiblack racism that keeps popping up in his works, the weird affair thing, and now everything going on with this soccer movie).

So... after Black Sails last treated them as a punching bag, showing them what REAL gay piracy is about... I think OFMD people put more stock into voting and therefore mobilize more around polls to be like "SEEE WE ARE THE GAY REP EVERYONE WANTS" when really, they're not, they're more invested in it (like the average person who has ever cared about stucky isn't... really caring about validation at this point), it's newer, and they have more to prove.

Go through the notes on the post and it's just "WOOO WE BEAT THE GAYBAIT" as if their show isn't just... worse gay bait? Like... it invented canon gaybait. That is to say... they baited in people with gayness because it had little else to offer.

It's not good gay rep. It's just... canon.

It's still shit.

And it still has incredibly weak fandom output outside of poll engagement because people are satisfied with the world driest gay kiss.

They fought harder to win the poll because it's the most attention they'll ever get from people with taste.

my self esteem with my art has gotten better in a lot of ways in the sense that i no longer agonize over whether or not something looks "bad", but operating ONLY under the metric of "am i, personally, satisfied with how this art came out" does have its side effects. like. i've gotten way better at accepting compliments on my art and no longer feel the urge to debase myself when someone says i did a good job on something, but now sometimes when people compliment me, instead of being like "oh my art sucks this part is so bad" blah blah blah im just like "i legit had no idea what i was doing when i drew that so im glad it came out looking correct!"

#sye's babbles #like half the time when im drawing these days if im trying to draw something i dont have a lot of experience with #i tend to just kinda. wing it. and just do whatever looks approximately correct #without actually making the effort to understand what im doing on a deeper level #like with all the fuckign oc poll tournament pieces ive been doing #one of my online friends told me 'you're so good with clothes' #when like #i don't actually have a mental understanding of how clothes physics works most of the time #i just kinda. draw some random lines that are going in the approximate direction of the movement #i dont actually feel like i know what i'm doing at ALL #and yet people compliment me on it #it's ALMOST like impostor syndrome except it doesn't have the feeling of having tricked people #it's more like #'damn... it came out looking good? im genuinely surprised you think so but thanks anyway' #it's less impostor SYNDROME and more like #improvisation success #if that makes sense #i'm shortcutting the process of drawing something in a way that looks good #but doesn't FEEL like i'm actually learning anything #so when people compliment me im just #'hmm. seems like what i was doing landed. i dont know how or why but i accept it.'

my moronic older sister shared some quote on fb about how she “waited for love to find her” and “didn’t chase what wasn’t for her” even though she literally married the first man who expressed interest in her (not even being hyperbolic) and married him after like 4-6 months of “dating”. now she just complains that she doesn’t like him as a person bc they have nothing in common but she’s convinced it’s “normal” because “healthy couples still argue” even though he’s emotionally abusive to her and physically with the kids. why are straight women like this.

#g talks #every damn day there’s some new quote about how great he is #or how in love she is or how much better she is bc of her relationship #acting like REAL couples are healthy and argue!! #when like #yelling at each other and belittling each other and always picking fights bc ur tired is not healthy #and her poor kids #he’s always so fucking rough with them #and he’s mean to them #calls them ‘it’ and ‘that one/thing’ #he hits them #and he did it AT MY HOUSE #we were all so fucking uncomfortable #my sister complained that my mom didn’t leave my abusive dad #and then she went and found herself someone just like him #and now she’s refusing to leave him for her kids #I’m so tired #mine #/mobile

i get what that post is saying, but a MAJORITY of the local drag performers I know are trans women and/or gender-fluid…like the attacks on these shows are very much affecting trans ppl in the industry who are unable to get other work.

#it just felt weird to say ‘we know drag performers aren’t USUALLY trans’ #when like #they usually are because trans ppl make up a lot of the drag community…

The difficulty with my personal tagging system for tracking what I’ve read in my spreadsheet is that I don’t have a simple ‘favourite run for this character’ marker.

It falls down in the face of runs that I really love. Because while I might be going “this is a standout issue of Simone Birds of Prey or Rogers Blue Beetle or Puckett Batgirl”, and using that tag, the AVERAGE issue in one of these runs delights me as much as a standout issue might in a more average storyline.

#z canon read throughs #on the other hand I do know which runs I love to pieces anyway #but if I showed the sheet to someone there would be questions like ‘why if you love this run so much is nothing considered a standout’ #when like #it’s just consistently good? never varies that much

Reading another romance novel set in NYC where the author seemed to forget that just because something isn’t advertised towards tourists doesn’t mean it isn’t something that exists and is popular with people who actually live here.

#how many books will I have to read #where queer New Yorkers say they have never gone to the beach #because there are no beaches #when like #there is a queer beach in Queens that is accessible via public transport #that we know and have documents and photos verifying has been a queer beach since the 1940s #there is a gay beach on the Jersey Shore if you wanna travel there #and several more big gay beach parties out there of varying sorts #advertised endlessly in gay publications #and there is Fire fucking Island #which may be annoyingly expensive NOW but in the 80s was dirt cheap #sorry author but your characters would #more realisticly #just not like the beach #the issue isn't a lack of access to a queer beach #it is they don't like the beach #:/ #why yes because I am working from home this week #and my boss will not give me a start time today #just told me she is going to call me this morning and then ghosted when I asked when #I am reading a romance novel in bed until whenever the fuck she calls
