Staring reeeaaallly hard at that one letterboxd comment on Thor 4 that says the first marvel gay kiss will be between star lord and thor not just because it won't but because the first marvel gay kiss already happened in Eternals between Phastos and his husband Ben but because the ship didn't involve a single white skinny male it received the bare bones of attention in this hell fandom

Mark my words when I say that, in the long run, Phastos and his husband are gonna go down as one the best mcu couples ever.

i know it’s just a joke, but people saying that Thor and Star Lord could be the MCU’s ‘first’ queer kiss/couple, when Phastos is already in an explicitly queer relationship with a husband who he has shared a kiss with, not to mention the son that they’re raising together. It just goes to show that because Phastos is not played by a man who is a conventionally attractive white man, people will just refuse to acknowledge him.
That is true; people will continue to ignore that because neither of the gay men in The Eternals is White, the Black gay man isn't skinny. There seems to be a trend that more voices will whine and demand that there be sexual tension or sexual lenses be applied to White men who never meant to be seen as homosexual/whose platonic relationships be translated to romantic instead of those focusing on canon homosexual couples. Not to mention how ignored homosexual women are vs. the men (regardless of sexuality) are in fandoms...

BITCH, WHAT?! - An Eternals STEM Trio Drabble
Tumblr media
Pairings: Platonic!Phastos x Hectate!Eternal Reader, Phastos & Kaetlyn, Phastos x Ben, Kaet x Druig (Druig doesn't appear, but he is mentioned), mention of Ikaris x Sephia Words: ~1.0 k Summary: A lil' drabble that tells how Phastos found out about one wonderfully incredible flower goddess banging it out with one blue flying man with stupid hair. Warning: Nudity (but not sexual), Kaetlyn has ZERO shame, Phastos needs some aspirin from dealing with his crazyass magic shadow sister, unbetaed we die like Ajak (sorry Ajak) Notes: This drabble was inspired by a scene in Grey's Anatomy, if you know you know. Please reblog and like and comment! Shoutout to @ethereal-athalia & @valeskafics for being the most supportive people on this platform!
Tumblr media
Phastos was a pacifist. He was a ‘thinker,’ not a ‘fighter.’ If there was a way to resolve a conflict peacefully with no potential loss of blood or bodily fluid, then he would take it. His inventions may have martial uses, but he remained steadfast in using his mind for peace and not violence. He lived this way for 7,000 years on Earth, and he would like it very much to keep it that way.
But lord-y lord, was he sorely tempted to break that right now.
“How could she not tell me?” you asked incredulously. “I mean, how could she not tell me?”
“Get out.” he told you.
Out of every one of his old family, Phastos was definitely not one to be ashamed to admit that he played favorites, and there was most definitely a ranking system. He wasn’t so petty to reveal who were at the bottom Sprite, but he knew it was obvious who were his favorites. Out of the remaining eleven members, he adored you and Sephia above everyone else. His love for the two of you reached to the point he considered the both you to be his sisters, and his respect went so far as to hold you two to a higher esteem than he held Ajak.
“I mean seriously, ME? What the fuck?”
“Please, get out.” he repeated in hopes that you would listen.
And of course, you didn’t.
Normally Phastos would more than happy with you visiting. After all, you and Sephia were the only ones that Phastos really trusted to be around his family so that his son could have a chance of a normal childhood without ‘excessive’ trauma. Jack adored his Aunties ‘Sophia’ and ‘Katie,’ and you both loved him. And while he would never admit it, he truly appreciated how either you or Sephie would happily take Jack off his dads’ hands so that they could spend some quality time together after he and Ben brough Jack home from the hospital.
But he would really appreciate it if you hadn’t just magicked yourself into his living room before barging yourself in the bathroom with him while he was showering so that he could prepare for an important interview with the magnet school Jack’s currently being waitlisted on. He’d appreciate even more if you picked up the very subtle hints that he’s been dropping while you were currently pacing on the other side of the shower curtain.
“He’s lying,” you went off, “he’s a lying liar – that’s it, that has to be it. I would know if my soul sister was in a relationship with someone.”
“Get out.” Maybe if he repeated it enough with gradual emphasis, it might actually sink into her head.
“I’m actually being gaslighted-” a cold blast of air hit his back as you pulled the curtain to one side – “Phastos this is criminal-”
Immediately pulling back the curtains to retain some sense of his dignity, Phastos decided that enough was enough. “Get out!”
Taken back, you asked: “What’s your problem?”
“What’s my problem- Kaety, I am in the shower. I am wet and n a k e d.” Phastos stressed the last word to point out the very glaring fact that he was wet and not wearing any clothes.
“Okay, and? I’ve seen it all before, no big deal! I’m in the middle of a crisis here!”
Did you really fail to see how fucking weird this situation was?
Feeling a migraine coming in, he needed to get you out so he could finish his shower in peace for five goddamn minutes. Looking you in the eyes, Phastos did his best to give you his best “I’m Pissed” stare.
Letting out a sigh, he thought that maybe you finally took the hint and would leave.
“Alright, fine,” you reasoned out, “your junk is…spectacular, really great. 10 out of 10, would bang you if you were straight and I wasn’t already madly obsessed with Druig’s nether regions. Ben is truly a lucky man…can we get back to me now?”
“…”
“Why are you making that face?” you groaned in distress.
“Kaety, I know I said that my door would always been open for you. But I have a very important interview with that magnet school for Jack, alright? Me and Ben have been prepping for this afternoon for over 3 months. I am sleep-deprived, I need to shower, and I need to be focused. Whatever you’re going through, go to Sephie, okay?”
“…It’s Ben and I.”
“Why are you here anyway? And where are the girls? Did you just leave them at the compound?”
“What? No, the girls are downstairs playing with Jack. Druig and Ben are watching over them.”
“Oh my god- Druig’s here too?”
“Well, what was I supposed to do? Leave my kids without telling the love of my life? Phastos, what kind of mother and wife do you think I am?”
“…Just get out.”
You were just about to leave when you finally registered what he said earlier - and you immediately turned back.
“HOLD UP!” you shouted as pulled the curtain again as Phastos pulled it back, “You mean to tell me that you haven’t been listening to me this ENTIRE TIME?”
“No, I haven’t! And I don’t particularly care about it right now!” he shouted whilst standing under the shower head to finally finish washing himself. “Just tell me later! When I am NOT NAKED!”
Still determined to get a proper reaction, you made sure to project very loudly. “SO, it wouldn’t interest you to know that I caught Ikaris and Sephie HAVING SEX?!”
“WHAT?!” This time, Phastos was the one to pull the curtains back. “NO! Wait- that’s- that’s- NO! Why would- NO!”
“Thank you.” you calmly stated before pulling his curtain between you two once more as you finally exited the bathroom- leaving your Inventor brother to stand under the streaming water in a state of extreme shock at the most horrific news he’s received since Thanos’ Snap.

Everyday i discover people who haven't watched Eternals, simply because it was bombed with negative reviews even before its release.
And everyday i feel sorry for all these people who are missing out on:
the magic that is created by Druig and Makkari's playful yet ages old romance, expressed in just 4 words: “My beautiful, beautiful Makkari”
the platonic/romantic/queer platonic bond between Thena (mentally ill) and Gilgamesh (big guy who's a softie)
the cool, rich, south asian superstar n diva Kingo, plus his amazing and thoughtful valet Karun n his arsenal of cameras
the most beautiful display of romance & domesticity between Phastos (a gay black man) and his husband Ben (a gay arab man), and their adorable little son
the conflict and struggles of both Ikaris & Sersi in choosing their paths or their love for each other
the frustrations of Sprite as the only differently built of them and also their chaotic nature
the motherly, loving and kind yet composed and respected leader Ajak
the funny yet easily accepting Dane Whitman
.
.
like i feel sorry so many are mindless sheep who run with the hate bandwagon without even trying something on their own to actually see if its good or bad.
Anyways, Eternals was amazing and i hope they return soon. And much love to all the fans here ♥

I saw a review for Thor Love and Thunder that said even though the movie isn’t overtly queer there were more queer moments sprinkled through this movie than any movie they’ve seen as a rebuttal to the criticism that this movie specifically pitched as “really gay” isn’t actually all that gay.
Even if we stick to just the MCU-this is verifiably false.
Eternals came out just this year and is actually gay. But for some reason that movie doesn’t count?
Tumblr media
This movie features whole scenes of a Black man who is a main character in a committed relationship with an Arab man. Where they’re happy together and raising a child. Having all the same conversations as any couple. Doing all the same things as their heterosexual counterparts like kissing, talking about the necessity of saving the world, saying I love you. Both Phastos and Ben are undeniably queer characters, not coded, not subtly to avoid irritating homophobes-they’re just gay. Its a huge part of their character with out being the only part of their character.
Thor Love and Thunder was a fine movie but it underdelivered on a promise to queer fans in my opinion. Korg and Valkyrie are great, but I’m lying if I say I wasn’t expecting more from a movie that kept heralding itself as the “gayest MCU movie ever” than a kiss on the hand, a reference to a dead girlfriend I don’t think was previously established, a reference to having two dads, and a quick Voltron esq end scene of two male characters that forced me to ask if its queer representation if the alien species only has men to mate with.
Taika has done great thinks for queer media rep in the past but to me his work on Love and Thunder doesn’t hold a candle to Chloé Zhao and team on the Eternals. Give her her flowers.

I Get a Sugar Rush Whenever I'm With You - Chapter 9.2
Greetings, fellow Drukkari stans! You're getting this mini-chapter while I'm on vacation, so I'm writing to you across space and time! 🤪 If you've fallen behind and need to catch up, you can find all previous installments on my Table of Contents here. Druig and Makkari have cleared the air and Druig is resolved to forget about his feelings, but can he? Find out now in the next mini-chapter of Drukkari in the Great British Bake Off!
Tumblr media
The showstopper was proving to be a bit of a disaster. Druig hadn't really thought he'd make it to patisserie week, and with all his fretting over Makkari, he hadn't practiced his bakes for this week that much. So, while the other bakers were busy perfecting their delicate gateaus, Druig was quite sure his was lopsided, and no amount of edible gold would be able to hide it. He was proven correct when Arishem pointed it out during judging. He also found the chocolate rather plain, adding insult to injury.
As with everything else, Druig pushed it aside for now, but this proved rather difficult when interview time rolled around. Considering how the challenge had gone, Darcy had Makkari ready and waiting to conduct his interview. Little did she know that it wouldn't help much this time. Druig did his best to act normal, but he could practically feel himself clamming up more and more with every question. Overall, it still wasn't his worst interview, but Makkari could sense something was off.
Despite this, Makkari didn't pry. Not yet, at least. On the one hand, Druig was grateful. After all, it saved him the anxiety of telling her what was wrong. On the other hand, it made for a pretty awkward lunch. They and Kingo were the first ones to the table. While they swapped bakes and delivered their usual praise, the unsaid words hung in the air between them, making them lapse into plenty of uneasy silences. Even Kingo could feel it, and for once, he didn't comment on it. This was the state Phastos and Gil found them in.
"Rough day, huh?" Gil said, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"You could say that," Druig answered.
"Well, we've still got two challenges left. Things could still change," Phastos added. It was still basic, but he was picking up signs and including them where he could.
Very true, Phastos, Makkari concurred, giving him a small smile.
"Hey, at least you'll be back next week either way," Kingo chimed in.
"I suppose that's true," Druig muttered pensively. "Thank you all for trying to cheer me up, but I'd rather not think too hard about it right now."
"We can do that," Gil replied confidently. "Since we're changing the subject, should I tell you guys about my date with Thena?"
Tell us everything!  Makkari signed frantically, a smile springing to her face. Druig couldn't help but smile himself at the sight, even if he could still feel his heart sinking from that morning. With a deep breath, he tried to let the feeling dissipate as he listened to Gilgamesh go into detail about where he and Thena went, what kind of coffee she drank, and how they spent hours talking about anything and everything. And for a little while, Druig did start to forget why he was feeling this way.
-
Lunch was a nice reprieve, but once they were back in the tent, the pressure returned, along with all the things Druig had been avoiding thinking about. He'd been trying to just concentrate on the technical challenge, but with only four of them left, his eyes began to wander to Makkari's station. She was quite focused on the task at hand, making dough for her palmiers. After staring at her a moment too long, Druig averted his gaze, mentally admonishing himself. He was so preoccupied that he ended up overbaking his own palmiers, and with no time left to try again, he had no choice but the present them for judgment. No teeth were chipped, thankfully, but Druig could tell he'd earned last place this week.
Considering how well everyone else had done so far, Druig was coming to the realization that something disastrous would have to befall one of the other bakers if he was to make it to the final next week. He didn't wish that on any of them, least of all Makkari. He'd made it this far, which was much farther than he ever expected. Even so, it was not an easy pill to swallow. Druig was still grappling with this as he waited for his next interview. Another figure took the seat next to him, breaking him out of his reverie.
"So, how are you feeling about… everything?" Phastos asked.
"I should probably save some of it for the interview," Druig began, "but to answer your question, not great."
"Right, of course. Stupid question," Phastos mumbled. "Alright, I'm not great at comforting people outside of my husband and child, so I'm just going to ask what I actually wanted to ask. Just know that you do not need to answer if you don't want to."
"Okay, then?"
Taking a deep breath, Phastos let loose his question: "What's the deal with you and Makkari this week? Did you break up or something?"
If Druig was drinking something, he would've choked on it. As he was not, he merely let out an undignified noise that sounded somewhere between a snort and gasp.
"I guess I hit the nail on the head," Phastos observed triumphantly.
"Not quite. Makkari and I aren't dating."
"Oh," Phastos said, triumph replaced with confusion. "Then what have I been watching the past few weeks?"
Druig merely raised an eyebrow at this, which spurred the other man to keep going.
"Alright, then did you have a fight or something?"
"No, we just… had a misunderstanding, but we cleared that up, so everything is fine," Druig explained carefully.
"Ah, that explains why you're so busy watching her that you burned your palmiers."
"I didn't burn them, just overbaked them."
"Whatever. My point is, and again, you don't have to answer if you don't want to-"
"You say that, but you keep asking."
"And you keep answering. My point is that I can tell something's bothering you, and I know we're not exactly close, but if you want to talk about it… I promise I won't tell anyone here. Just my husband, who's been asking me about all the bakers. Also, I'd rather not have a repeat of lunch tonight at dinner."
Druig watched him out of the corner of his eye. Phastos seemed sincere enough as he awaited his response. Druig sighed loudly before giving him an answer.
"Okay, the short version is we accidentally slept in the same bed and were both a bit embarrassed. She wants to forget about the whole thing, but I don't know if I can do that."
"Oh." Phastos lapsed into silence as he mulled this over, but it didn't last long. "And you don't want to forget because you like her."
"Hit the nail on the head that time," Druig conceded.
"Well, you should probably respect her wishes, which it seems you're already doing. But clearly, it's still eating at you, so this isn't going to be sustainable. Sounds like you need to talk to her."
"You got all that from our conversation just now?"
"That and Ben's hypotheses, which I didn't put much stock in before since he was only getting his info from me, but even from my impartial observations, he could tell that you liked her," Phastos explained. "Look, I'm not one to play matchmaker or love guru or whatever, but I really don't want to deal with more awkward group meals, so for my sake, consider telling her how you feel? Unless you think that will end up making things even more awkward. You know her better than me. Just use your best judgment, I guess."
Phastos had rushed through his last few sentences as he saw Darcy approaching. As he got up to go to his interview, Druig added, "Thanks, Phastos."
The other man gave him an emphatic nod before following Darcy.
-
It was fun to write a bit more Phastos! Hopefully he's not too OOC. Let me know how I did!

I’m not gonna sit here and praise Marvel for representation because they have a very long ways to go and also I don’t care if you hate Eternals or not but I will remind you that we have seen an on screen gay kiss and I want y’all to stop doing Phastos and Ben dirty and give them that little bit of recognition.
That will be all.
