OK but being Canadian and HCing your Earthborn Shepard as also Canadian make the Citadel DLC joke banter between Kaidan and Shepard about beer and beef being a “Canadian delicacy” even funnier

#Mass Effect #Anyways Ami and Kaidan argue about the Canadiens vs the Canucks all the time and NO ONE ELSE knows what the FUCK they're talking about #someone gets them an archive of old games and they spend the entire time drinking and eating popcorn and ribbing each other #and it helps them stay sane during the war and also rekindles their friendship after all the BS in ME2 and the start of ME3 #And yes my main Shepard OC is Quebecois despite the fact that I have never been to that part of Canada lmfao #I also don't speak french so translate and best guesses my beloved <3 #they dragoon all the main cast into watching games with them in the Apartment #after the Reaper war everyone goes to a game #this got away from me I'm a big fan of Amandine and Kaidan's supportive Lesbian/Bi solidarity friendship energy I've made

I know the new season of omitb is out bc i'm suddenly getting notes on my tim × mabel gifsets

#i looked at the spoilers a bit and i don't really like what i see tbh :(#i don't mind mabel being bi but i dislike c*ra as an actress #also amy schumer ??#i feel like it's the kind of show that set up such a great atmosphere and characters in s1 #it's hard to follow up with sth as as good #especially since it's a mystery show there's a reason why the best and longest lasting mysteries are shows like #hercule poirot or murder she wrote #people don't like mysteries that are dragged #and i feel like they're trying to connect s2 to s1 but idk how that's gonna happen without being messy #anyway hit me up if tim kono's ghost shows up

tell me how instead of drawing or writing or reading or doing anything at all on my day off, I laid in bed and scrolled on my phone

#I've been listening to chelsea wolfe's we hit a wall on repeat for a day and a half because i have a specific vision for like. a comic?#but im afraid to draw it 🙃#also i officially had a dream i remember again finally & laughed so hard when i woke up because it was sailor moon but as a dc otherworld #i wish I'd written it down this morning because i don't remember a lot #but it had something to do with like. *the negaverse* making everyone sick with something they were passing off as a perfume called NoVa #and obviously Usako and the girls are like hey we have to go to this scary city because they're taking the perfumes there #and her and Dick team up as the best bi disaster bffs ever #and Ami & Bruce figured out who they all were at the same time and there's mutual respect #(of course they're all losing it over how handsome everyone is & Dick teaches them how to tightrope walk)#(i dunno i think itd be a fun crossover)

I think Game Night in Season 5 is one of the best episodes in the entire series.

Rosa finally comes out to her close friends in the 99

The episode shows a turning point in Diaz and Peralta's friendship - they can lean on each other for support

Peralta supports Rosa during dinner with her parents and continues to stand with her even though dinner is a disaster

Rosa expresses to her parents that her being bi is not simply "a phase"

Even though Rosa's parents can't accept her right away, the 99 readily support her and make up for family game night - they are a true family

B99 Family Game Nights will happen weekly!

Everyone brings something different that showcases their personality:

Jake organizes the gathering/Amy brings wine

Boyle brings various games INCLUDING TWISTER!!

Terry brings lots of pizza

Scully and Hitchcock bring snacks!!!

Gina is sassy as always and says she and Diaz could make a fantastic couple

Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place - Holt

#b99 #brooklynninenine #rosa diaz #jake peralta #amy santiago #captain holt #terry jeffords #hitchcock and scully #charles boyle #game night

okay i’ve wanted to do this for way too long so: my sitcom crossover headcanons (not for all characters just those for whom i got ideas)

(b99, community, superstore, the good place, some abbott elementary too)

• jonah simms and amy santiago would TOTALLY be nerds together

• also jonah and jake dated back in high school

• the three of them + amy sosa would sing show tunes together

• abed nadir made them watch tick tick boom bc he loves the movie from a cinematic point of view (idk the exact term just film bro stuff (affectionate) ), jonah kept talking about the social context of this movie and all of them made him shut up bc he was talking during the movie

• jeff heard 30/90 and never admits that he keeps playing this song bc he relates too much

• jeff defended eleanor shellstrop in a case once then they hooked up

• troy barnes and jason mendoza would have the best talks and troy would keep jason down (while still doing crazy stuff w him he would just keep him from doing anything illegal)

• jake and abed had a die hard marathon w costumes and everything, they know the movies by heart

• they talk about the paintball games and the halloween heists, and they def plan to make some mix of them

• annie and amy santiago obsess over binders together, amy mentoring annie skelfjf

• britta and jonah find themselves into a sort of (friendly) battle between who’s the biggest activist

• during the convo britta says something about jonah being a cishet white man and jonah says he’s bi and everyone seems shocked then spends the day asking everyone if he really seems that straight?? garrett tells him he should look gayer just to mess w him

• also there would be a confusion between actors who play in multiple sitcoms, like eleanor not trusting kevin bc she thinks he’s shawn, but then she realises shawn couldn’t stand acting so boring for so long (i absolutely love kevin i just think eleanor would say that)

• i just want any interaction w holt, the dean and glenn

glenn would def be trying too hard to be an ally, holt wouldn’t understand the dean’s description of his sexuality (one of those never ending handkerchiefs)

glenn would absolutely love the dean’s play on words w his name, holt would find them childish but they would grow on him

• troy and abed would find out the afterlife system just like that and be the next doug forcett

• cheyenne and gina would plan a dance performance together and force everyone to attend it

• charles and shirley teach each other their recipes (and she learns to pronounce nikolaj’s name really fast)

• janet and holt would get along so well he would just be fascinated by her knowledge and attitude that’s for sure

• janet and abed too, he would ask so much movie facts

• jonah and jacob would get along so well. they’re the same kind of annoying nerds who turn on podcast mode too often

• holt and dina bird-naming contest (it literally lasts for days)

#i just realised this is 2010s disney channel all over again #anyway here goes i hope someone sees my vision #nbc community #community tv #superstore #b99 #brooklyn nine nine #the good place #abbott elementary

In some media that have found family and then the friends go their own ways at some point later on, find their own paths, I've noticed the aftermath in sequels that come after time skip of several years is not always... the best. As if the once closest friends, the family, has drifted apart. I mean sure, friends do sometimes drift apart but that separated found family trope creates a rift between friends too and like- I understand that people in real life can be like this but from my personal experience and observations, this shouldn't be, isn't, the case with family. This isn't the case with a group of people closest to you who you grow up with or who supported you in your hardest times and vice versa, who helped you find yourself.

Personal observation, I've literally seen best friends or childhood friends meeting after decades and acting like they just met yesterday. There's no rift, no reserved behavior out of politeness, they literally let go of everything and let out their inner child. They laugh and tease and joke wholeheartedly, are comfortable around one another, rile each other up for funsies in a heartbeat, throwing every piece of maturity out the window. And that's not counting my own personal experience of meeting any of my best friends after several years, we didn't even realize until my mother pointed out that we were acting like we just saw each other yesterday even though it's been years.

Anyways, I'm getting off track here. Point is, I've seen many pieces of media that always create a rift between closest friends or family or found family after a long time of being away from each other and it adds drama and all but while I've seen it excused as being realistic, it isn't. Not in my opinion. Which is one of the major reasons why it always breaks my heart to see this happening and why I hate the Separated Found Family trope. I mean, why even form it in the first place if you're just planning to tear it apart in the end? What's even the point?!

So, whenever such a thing is built up in any franchise, I develop a sense of dread. I'm internally going "plz don't separate then plz don't separate them" about characters I've grown to love. And part of the reason is how media usually handles it, extremely poorly in my honest opinion.

But this didn't end up being the case with Team Sonic when Sonic's closest, life long friends decided to grow and find their own paths in life. Go their separate way. He was happy and proud to see them grow, a little reminiscent and a little sad (though he didn't show it to them) but ultimately happy for them. Would the empty nest syndrome even be a problem for someone who considers the whole planet his home? Perhaps. He respects everyone's boundaries and understands their wishes to not randomly show up whenever he misses them. (Extra bit of angst that when he was setting them free from Cyber Space and becoming increasingly infected in the process, his friends were forced into a situation that got them in a very introspective mindset and each one of them individually decided to go out on their own, leaving him, and he didn't show the literal hell of pain he was being put through that was caused by the Cyber Corruption. He was losing himself with it. He had to come to terms with all his closest friends leaving him after that adventure while he was pushing himself to the brink of death, not even knowing if he'll come out of this in the end, just to set them free. And he didn't let them know so they wouldn't worry.)

Tails, Amy and Knuckles went their own separate ways to grow and find their paths. This looks like it advanced into the separated found family trope, right? But no. The thing is, while many other media used that trope to create rift and drama or something (I'm sure there are good ones out there which didn't do this, honestly kudos to them), this one didn't play out as such. In the latest TailsTube episode, that is proven and shown beautifully. They've all met up before on Amy's birthday and there was a quick visit Sonic gave to Tails in an earlier TailsTube ep and their dynamic remained the same in both, their friendship was just as strong as ever.

But episode 5? God, I'm in love with that episode. Team Sonic coming together after months and nothing has changed. In fact, going their ways and finding their paths in life to grow didn't create a rift between them or anything, it only made their bonds stronger. It made them even closer than they were before. Like how you grow to appreciate and treasure something more when you don't always have it.

This is how found family should be depicted. That's how it actually is in real life too. Found Family doesn't mean you have to stay together 24/7 or you can't grow and find your own paths. It means that even with living life, finding yourself, growing, these people you have come to love will be connected to you just the same. Distance doesn't create rifts when the bonds are so strong, it only ends up strengthening them even more.

Thing these three men have in common :) (they are literally the same person just different fonts)

Jake peralta, Pete ‘maverick’ Mitchell, Percy Jackson

half a brain cell each

Are very smart when they want to be

would 100% die for a random puppy

Bi

Sarcasm as a personality trait

Therapy more like let’s do something dangerous

Self sacrificing

Loyal like a dog

God complex

POWERFUL PARTNERS

Like Amy, Tom and Annabeth would have tea parties discussing the latest dumbshit their boys have done

Authority issues

BIG Daddy issues

Are the best dads for their kids (Mac, Bradley, Nico/Percabeth baby)

Almost died doing the chubby bunny challenge

Has a framed photo of said chubby bunny challenge

So, I’ve been looking at my gender for a while now. A few trans friends think I’m an egg, and I relate to basically every lesbian content on the internet.

But I don’t experience dysphoria at all.

In fact, I don’t even think of my gender at all even when pressed, which is why I’m pressing harder to try and root out a truth or two.

Someone somewhere said that Gender is a 3D matrix, with the X axis being identity, the Y axis being expression, and the Z axis being importance.

And so my identity and expression have been like 100% male, 75% masc, and -infinity important. I’ve never cared. I just use he/him because it was given to me and it’s whatever why not.

So me and my partner (they/she) have jokingly referred to me as a “non-practicing agender he/him lesbian.”

I’m also like, weirdly very Asexual for someone who has sex frequently. It took me a long time to figure this out because of the sex, and because of all the porn and jerkin off in my life.

But after my roommate (my ex-wife and coparent) got her new boyfriend and they fuck a lot and loudly constantly, and constantly are wanting to do more sex, I realized that sex has NEVER been an urge to me.

Not like, as anything besides “man I could go for a cheeseburger right now”. Never a carnal need. Just a “that sounds like fun!” Yknow?

And I’ve done a bunch of probing and searching around there and went from Bi, to Demi, to Grayce to just plain Ace.

I’ve ALSO realized that I don’t really have a difference in romance and friendship. I’m a stardew Valley Character, I have 8 levels of friendship, that if we get to level 9, I wanna kiss you on the mouth. And when we are at levels 9 and 10, I am very friendship-first, there’s just extra kissing involved. I still wanna like, show you an obscure anime I’m obsessed with and play Mario kart, not necessarily do capital R romantic gestures.

I’ve also also gone on the journey from “gifted” to “lazy” to “burnt out” to “ADHD” to AuDHD throughout my life. Turns out all my quirks were symptoms! Who knew?

Which then leads me to the point of this post:

You know who else is an AuDHD, Agender (but defaults to he/him most of the time because it was given to them and who cares) Asexual Friends-to-Lovers Grayromantic, panromantic, he/him lesbian who only sorta presents masc?

[ALT: a photo collage of all of the numbered Doctors from Doctor Who]

That’s right, everyone’s favorite renegade time lord, The Doctor.

No wonder I’m so obsessed with them.

The most Masculine Doctor dressed like this:

[ALT: the Third Doctor. He’s dressed like a silly magician man]

And he’s ABSOLUTELY a uhaul lesbian. “Hey I met you 43 minutes ago, do you want to move into my house? It travels through time”

He’s a he/him, and even when he was a She, she was only a she because it fit and made sense, not because of her identity.

And every single one of his Romantic partners, Rose, Yas, Fitz, Charley, all have the exact same trajectory as his best friends, Sarah Jane, Donna, Amy, he just goes a little farther to say he loves them romantically.

So yeah. My gender is Doctor Who.

Thanks for listening.

Round 3

Propaganda Under Cut

Stephanie Brown

Literally my best friend ever!!! Every time she shows up in a comic I point at her and smile!!! She’s the vigilante known as spoiler & batgirl & was a robin before getting fridged because of editorial mandate and misogyny she deserves so much better @_@. The m/m that some people hate her for is timkon; like they ARE very gay but people are genuinely insane about hating her instead of also realizing that she too is gay (insane amount of subtext w her bff cass). Basically she was Tim’s girlfriend for a long time on and off. People will literally call her abusive for no reason they’ll be like oh but she didn’t apologize for starting a gang war accidentally and faced no consequences for it :/ as if she wasn’t literally KILLED OFF BRUTALLY. And although hate is rarer for her nowadays from what I’ve seen she’s also a victim of Background Lesbian Syndrome. And also a victim of Woman Not Allowed To Have Ocmplex Feelings in the source material itself (tim is canonically bi now yay but like steph wasn’t allowed to have any complicated feelings at all at her on again off again ex breaking up with her for good???). Anyways she’s the light of my life.

she’s the light of my life my baby girl my everything. she canonically dated tim drake, but people love to ship tim with his male friend kon or his male brothers (🤢🤮) and so they constantly sideline her, making her the quirky wingwoman or sometimes even villainizing her by trying to claim she was abusive to tim. i don’t know why so many people hate her my girl will literally just be standing there and people will hate on her.

Stephanie was first introduced in the 1994 Robin series as a side love interest for Robin, but when she turned out to be really popular she became the main love interest. Because of this, she was fully fleshed out as a vigilante calling herself Spoiler to try and take down her villainous father, the Cluemaster. She later grew a lot closer to other cast members, such as Batgirl and Oracle, to get herself a firmly established place among the bats. Then, she dies in a gang war after taking up the Robin mantle. Eventually, in 2009, she was brought back from the dead and took on the Batgirl mantle. Her and Robin get back together sometime around ~2010 and they are solidly together until 2021. Then, Robin breaks up with her off panel for zero reason in canon, only to date some really boring guy named Bernard. By fanon, she's often demonized and turned into an abuser to make either this ship, or a lot of other mlm ships happen. Either that or things are mysteriously set in the time she's dead despite characters who were not yet introduced until she returned appearing. strange.

Amy Rose

WAUGH okay so basically like everyone villainizes her when shipping Sonic with any other character (and 99% of the time its Amy being villainized against a m/m ship ://) but yeah Amy canonically has a "crush" on Sonic and stuff (which is weird in its self cuz age gaps and things but creators smh) and anyways any time people write Sonic in a relationship with other characters they always make her super upset and mad that Sonic isn't dating her etc etc and basically make her a pouting 12 year old because her super hero crush doesn't date her instead of writing her as a supportive best friend to sonic WHICH SHE SHOULD BE WRITTEN AS !!!! and uh yeah if you couldn't tell this makes me so upset because amy is such a good character people should stop ruining her

Even outside of yaoi, she is the most hated character in the FRANCHISE. THERE ARE ENTIRE WEBSITES DEDICATED TO HATING ON HER. HER MERE EXISTANCE CREATES SHIP WARS. IT IS HELL. EVEN THE OFFICIAL TWITTER ACCOUNT AND THE ARCHIE COMICS HATED ON HER IN THE PAST.

Not only is she a incredibly serious victim of yaoi, she is bashed in every fic where Sonic is paired with someone other than her. And when she is paired with someone other that Sonic, Sonic is bashed. And when she is paired with Sonic, other characters commonly paired with Sonic are bashed. It is a chain reaction of madness. Even outside of shipping, she is one of the most hated characters in the fandom. She was flanderized to ridiculous amounts. Even the official Sonic twitter used to mock her. Even official gaming news sites mock her, with a particularly horrible case being when TheGamer outright said Sonic being paired with TAILS is better than Sonic being paired with Amy. The amount of hate this character has attracted is incredibly large. There are entire websites dedicated to hating her.

HAPPY PRIDE FROM THE IDW SONIC SHOWDOWN! Made it just in time before pride finishes here in the UK, but pride lasts all year around anyway. However you celebrate and whatever flags you use to represent yourselves, I hope you have a good one Here's a little doodle featuring characters from IDW and a few other Sonic comics who have some degree of queer to them, either in the comics, word of god or popular headcanons. I wanted to include more (shout out to Mighty's gay dad and his dinosaur bf from StC!), but ran out of time and space A little more info about each character, in case anyone's curious:

From top left: Tekno the Canary - From Fleetway Sonic the Comic, a character widely embraced by the queer community. In a conclusion to StC written by series writer Nigel Kitching and released on StC:Online, Tekno is revealed to be in a relationship and have a child with Amy Rose. As of this year, Tekno's creator Lew Stringer gave his blessing for fans to think of her as non-binary, even if he himself wrote her as female - leading some fans to embrace Tekno as she/they Gold the Tenrec - From the Archie Sonic Comics, Gold has been stated by creator Evan Stanley to be attracted to women, although Stanley wasn't sure if Gold was strictly bi or gay, which is why I opted to give her the rainbow flag here Tangle & Whisper - As close as we can possibly get to being a couple without officially being a couple. Hopefully one day! I was actually going to use the rainbow flag for them as well, but as of this month's issue, the duo appeared with a lesbian patterned sky in the background, so they got the lesbian flag Dr. Starline - Headcanoned by some to be a transman because his spurs (which are naturally occurring in male platypuses) are artificial. It's also generally accepted (I think??) that his idolising of Eggman may be romantic. I did a poll for which flag to give him and the gay flag won, so he got that one Nite & Don - Our married bird guys! Good for them! Again, I gave them the rainbow pride flag because it hasn't been stated (that I know) if they're gay, bi, pan or otherwise, but they're happy and together either way Sally Acorn (with tiny Nicole!) - My childhood fave from the Archie Comics. This chipmunk is bisexual and there is nothing you can do about it Lanolin the Sheep - Many of us are optimistic that Lanolin might quietly be the trans rep we've been hoping for from Sonic, as she's a girl sheep with horns Cheese the Chao - As chao are non-binary, I included Cheese to represent them, because Cheese is cool Sonic the Hedgehog - A touchstone to many in the community. I included the asexual, aromantic and trans flags in his speed trail, as Sonic won the t-boy swag tournament on tumblr and Sonic/no one was voted the best Sonic ship on tumblr. As a trans aroace person myself, Sonic's lack of interest in romance and conformity was always inspirational to me growing up. The rainbow facepaint is because I'm sure that he's as important to other members of the community in their identities as well As always, these are my readings and takes on these characters that may not align with your own or be canon in anyway. But I hope that you can find joy and peace in pride as I do regardless :3

#IDW Sonic #Pride #IDW Sonic Showdown #Sonic the Comic #Archie Sonic #my problem is that although i only draw once every 3 years #i wanna draw big group pics whenever i do

Knuckles: Why do villains always need to hit me in the fucking face?

Sonic: Take it as a compliment, you have a very punchable face.

Knuckles: Like, I can understand a solid body blow, it’s a fight for chrissakes, but a direct shot to my eye? You have to work for that shit!

Sonic: Yeah, sorry bud, but I have very little sympathy for the guy who flexes in the middle of a fight.

Knuckles: Fuck you, it’s intimidating.

Amy: Hey guys, can I-? What the hell happened to your face, Knuckles?

Knuckles: I was fighting Bark and he sucker-punched me.

Amy: How the fuck did he manage that? You’re, like, the best hand-to-hand fighter we have?

Sonic: Oh, he flexed in the middle of the fight to be ‘intimidating’.

Knuckles: It was intimidating!

Amy: Yeah, it was so intimidating, he smacked you in the fucking face.

Sonic: Oh shit! (hi-fives Amy)

Knuckles: Great, now there’s fucking two of you. What do you want, Ames?

Amy: Oh, well, uh… I’m going on this thing tonight with- with Blaze, and, well… I think there’s something I need to tell you guys.

Knuckles: You’re Bi.

Sonic: You’re Bi.

Amy: I’m sorry, what the fuck?!

Sonic: Hmm?

Amy: I haven’t told anybo- I barely knew!! How the fuck did you know?!

Sonic: Amy, we’re your closest friends. We know you better than anyone. On top of that, we love you.

Amy: O-Oh… Thank you, Sonic. That really means a lot to hear-

Knuckles: Also, you’re fucking terrible at hiding it.

Sonic: Yeah, also that. Mostly that, actually.

Amy: Okay, wow, first of all, I wasn’t hiding it, I was discovering myself. And second of all, no I fucking was not!

Knuckles: Yep, you were.

Amy: No, I wasn’t!

Sonic: Yeah, sorry Ames, but you kinda were.

Amy: No, I was not!!

Knuckles: Do you really wanna fucking go there, sis?

Sonic: It would save you a lot of embarrassment if you just trusted us here.

Amy: There is absolutely no evidence that either of you could known until this exact second when I told y-!!

Sonic: SALLY!!

Amy: What are you doing?

Knuckles: Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Sally: (walking in) Hey Sonic, what’s up?

Sonic: Hey Sal, I need to wash the Tornado for Tails. You wanna help out?

Sally: Oh, yeah, no problem.

Amy: (gulp)

Knuckles: Oh, and the thing is pretty dirty. You’re probably gonna get soaking wet so I’d lose the vest if I were you.

Amy: (blushing) Sorrylosethewhat?

Sally: Oh, yeah, that’s a good point. Hold up…

Amy: Okay, I get it! You made your point!

Knuckles: Told you so. Sonic?

Sonic: Ah, you know what, Sal? Tails and I are gonna take it out tonight. Nevermind, you’re good.

Sally: Oh, okay. See you guys later. Amy. (winks)

Amy: Hehehe, bye… I fucking hate you both.

Knuckles: Don’t hate us. We warned you.

Sonic: Okay, okay, in all seriousness… We’re happy for you, Amy. You should be proud of yourself.

Amy: … Thanks, Sonic.

Tails: (walking in) So, seeing as how I just saw Sally walking past with her vest open, I’m guessing Amy is finally out of the closet?

Amy: For the love of- DID ANYBODY NOT KNOW!?

Tails: …… No. What the hell happened to your face?

Knuckles: It’s a long story…

Tails: … You flexed in the middle of a fight again, didn’t you?

Knuckles: It’s intimidating!!

The online Buffy fandom seems to really like talking about the "original plans" for the show, but also to hate the concept of citing sources or providing evidence. So there are all sorts of ideas from the "original plan" floating out there in the aether that you seem to have to choose whether or not you believe based largely on vibes.

Generally I'm inclined to be pretty skeptical of the concept of an "original plan" for the show, whether that's the idea that Dawn was "originally" going to have telekinetic powers or that Faith was "originally" going to kill herself in the middle of Season 3 or that Buffy's parents were "originally" never going to be appear on screen. It is very hard for me to square ideas like these with the general tone or theme of their respective seasons. (If they're true, I think my main takeaway would be that we're fantastically lucky that the show turned out as well as it did.)

Similarly, but somewhat distinctly, I'm very dubious of readings which suggest that, for example, Amy's actions in Season 2's Bewitched, Bothered & Bewlidered are a sign that Amy's characterisation in the first half of Season 6 was actually planned out well in advance. I don't think that interpretations like this are really supported by the text of the show at all, and frankly I don't think they give the writers enough credit for the very real skill involved in making things up as they went along.

For the most part, and barring evidence to the contrary, I'm inclined to put most of the "original plans" people like to talk about down to misunderstandings or miscommunications. Maybe an idea got idly tossed around for a few minutes while a season of the show was first being brainstormed, or maybe an actor initially only signed up to appear in five episodes, and from those tiny true fragments an "original plan" for the character was retroactively inferred which was never intended by the show's creators.

But there are a small handful of exceptions to this general rule -- the idea that it was "originally" Xander who was going to come out as gay, not Willow; the idea that "originally" Angelus was going to kill Oz rather than Jenny Calendar; the idea that "originally" Kendra was going to survive Season 2 and go on to have Faith's Season 3 arc -- that I think are different. I haven't been able to find hard sources for these claims either, but they've all been repeated for so long, and for so often, with so little variation, that I think it's more likely than not that the writers have at some point described these as the original plans for the show. These, I'm reasonably sure, aren't misunderstandings on fandom's part.

Let's call them what they are instead: lies.

The show's writers may well have claimed these, but if they did I don't think there's any reason to believe they were telling the truth.

Yes, it's very easy to read Xander as a (deeply, deeply repressed) gay or bisexual man. It's the most sympathetic way to make sense of his awkwardness around Larry Blaisdel, and of his frequently expressed opinion that Angel and Riley and Spike and Oz (and all the other men his two best friends date) are attractive and of his jokes about wanting to date them. And if you believe that Buffy herself is bi -- as I do, but (perhaps crucially) the writers explicitly don't -- then it makes a certain amount of sense that her metaphorical Heart should be as well.

But nothing about the way the show actually treated gay men over its seven seasons suggests to me that the writers would ever have seriously considered having one of the leading male chararacters come out as attracted to men. The actual show gives us Larry (who boasts to Xander about how out he is without ever actually showing romantic or sexual attraction to another man on screen, then is quietly killed off and seemingly never mourned), and Andrew Wells (whose obvious but unacknowledged attraction to both Warren and then later Xander is always played as a 'hilarious' joke) and Jane Espenson tried to smuggle Giles/Ethan past the other writers for an episode or two but ... that's really it, isn't it? (Not counting things unique to Angel the series, anyway.) We didn't even get the (supposedly) originally scripted kiss between two men in Smashed, allegedly because the writing team that brought us Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered were worried about there being "unfortunate implications" to having sexual attraction be something that magic could influence.

Equally, yes, it really sucks that Jenny Calendar died and it's nice to imagine that the writers at least considered keeping her alive and trying to do something interesting with the character. But I'm pretty sure that the writing was on the wall for her as soon as the show retconned her as being linked to Angel's curse (if not well before).

Why would Angel kill Oz, specifically? What links these two characters? Why not go after somebody Buffy has actually had a conversation with first? Or somebody that Angel ever had a conversation with? When you know the show's full history -- when you know what happens to not just Jenny herself but also Gwendolyn Post and Maggie Walsh and Joyce Summers, to Cordelia and Tara and Anya, to every adult woman with any impact on the plot and to any woman who dares to break up with one of the Core Four -- how plausible does it really sound that the writers ever considered sparing Jenny at the expense of Oz?

And yes, it also stinks that Kendra only got to appear in three (or, let's be honest, something more like one and a half) episodes before she was killed off. And that her name is only spoken once after Becoming, and only as a bit of exposition to set up the new, more plot significant, more interestingly written vampire slayer. It's infuriating to realize that of the six Slayers we see called before Chosen it's exactly and only the two white Slayers who get to live and have full character arcs. It would have been great if Kendra could somehow have stuck around, or if the writers had found a pretense to bring her back somehow.

But the fragments we see of Kendra's personality -- painfully shy around boys, a stickler for following the rules, raised from a young age to respect the authority of her Watcher -- suggests she's utterly unlike Faith. How could she have had Faith's Season 3 arc, without her character being totally rewritten from the ground up? How could she have this arc and still be Kendra?

Yes, Kendra should be important. She's the second Slayer we ever meet, somebody who's very existence upends everything we know about the show's mythology. The first -- and for a while, only -- person we meet who can really understand Buffy and appreciate exactly what she's going through as a Slayer. Kendra should be one of the major characters on the show, and her untimely death should have long term ripples and ramifications for years to come. But equally it seems very obvious that the writers didn't care about her at all, and that they never did and were never going to.

So she isn't a major character, and her death doesn't matter.

I think it's doing the show more credit than it deserves -- and willfully downplaying its very real and persistent homophobia and misogyny and racism -- to pretend that any of these things could have been different. Even if it does turn out that the writers ever claimed otherwise.

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1C

Tyne Daly (1946) is one of two Divas on our list to win a Tony for portraying possibly the greatest role for a woman in musical theatre. That's right. Mama Rose in Gypsy (1990). She has also received nominations for Rabbit Hole (2006) and Mothers and Sons (2014), and has a long and illustrious stage career. Owing to a hospitalization just days before she was set to begin previews in Doubt: A Parable, Tyne had to withdraw from the production. She was replaced by Amy Ryan, and is on her way to a full recovery.

Tony-winner Katrina Lenk (1974) and The Band's Visit (2018) was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise lacking season. Much of her early career was on the regional stage. Broadway credits include Indecent (2017), Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark (2012), and the gender-swapped Company (2022) which did not earn her the best reviews, but personally I was fine with it. The Band's Visit also earned Katrina a Grammy and a Daytime Emmy.

PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT: ALL POLLS HERE

youtube

"Devastated that Tyne Daly had to pull out of Doubt. It's a major loss to Broadway, especially since she could have been the only theatre veteran nominated in that category. Tyne's an old broad that brings the best from a bygone era. She's got sixteen Emmy nominations to her name, and six wins. But I don't know if I can forgive her for being why Angela doesn't have at least one."

youtube

"This woman has some of the hottest, dykiest photoshoots I've ever seen. Just look at her. Her cheekbones are too perfect to be believed. Her performance in The Band's Visit was so fucking gorgeous, and you know, I wasn't too bothered by her Company either. And it considerably improved during the course of the run, so props to her. I got to see it with the rain twice, so that was also exciting. Plus, she's kissed a lot of women on stage and screen, so that's a win in my book. (Though not in Company, even though Bobbie was almost bi (with a Jenn Colella Marta, can you believe what they robbed us of?)"

I just got a poll about bi himbos on my feed and the first option, who is winning in a landslide, is Jake Peralta. and like I get it. believe me I get it. but y'all seem to forget he is a cop. that is literally like his whole thing.

I almost kept scrolling, but I also recently saw fanart of the 99 at a pride parade and a babygirl edit of Terry. so I think it's time for a reminder.

ACAB includes fictional tools of copaganda.

even when

they are fun

they are likeable

they are narratively interesting

they are nuanced

they are looking to fix the system

they are kind people

they are relatable

they are flawed

the writers know they are a bastard

this is because they are still cogs in a bastardized system. all cops are bastards because they are traitors to their class, to their communities, and when they are any kind of minority they are traitors to their identities. by working as a cop they perpetuate systematic cycles of violence and oppression. even if they have reasons like "I want to fix the system from inside" or "I was helped by a cop once and want to do that" or "I genuinely want to help people who are struggling" there are other, better ways to accomplish all of those that do not involve being a cop. even that middle one. there are many forms of community resource positions you can take.

I want to reiterate. I get the thing with Jake Peralta. putting the copaganda aside for a moment, he is a goofball. he is very effectively coded both as bi and as having adhd. he definitely does fit into the chaos bi himbo archetype that is popular for good reason. he is a nuanced character who is always looking for ways to do the right thing. his mistakes are shown and he (usually) is able to recognise them and apologise. he is relatable to many people and charismatic to even more.

but he is still a cop. everyone on that show is either a cop or actively supporting cops, unless they are an antagonist. including Doug Judy, a career criminal who is self described best friends with jake.

and I cannot shame anyone for their enjoyment of Brooklyn 99. the comedy is well written, the characters all have interesting arcs, and it is unique in its genre for a few reasons. I myself watched most of the early seasons when I was in high school and enjoyed the well structured queer coding and the way it discussed the diversity in the precinct instead of shying away from it (put a pin in that for a second) For full disclosure, I have also watched and found enjoyment in the full run of Criminal Minds. and Bones. one of my alltime favorite shows is Eureka which is not only full of copaganda (as its premise) but it has a multi season arc for an autistic character that is important to the plot where his mother (a main character) is desperately trying to cure him a la Autism Speaks. there is not shame in having consumed or enjoyed media with harmful things. but you have to do so with nuance. and you cannot let yourself forget.

returning to the diversity and representation in b99. it is genuinely insidious to normalize members of the communities most historically effected by police brutality and targeted by discriminatory policy as "good cops." yes the writing around these characters is good. and I would argue that in other aspects there is good representation in that show. while the black and POC representation and discussion is also an important related issue, and arguably the more disturbing aspect of this, it is not my place to comment on so I will stick to the queer rep.

Rosa is written in a way that is respectful and is relatable to many bi people. Holt has a nuanced backstory that is not shied away from and his relationship and identity are always respected. Jake is very effectively coded as bi but hasn't realized or accepted yet. and as an autistic person with ADHD, Jake, Holt, Amy, Charles, and Rosa are all well coded and respectfully written neurodiverse characters. and it is difficult to find queer or neurodiverse representation like that. I fully understand that.

but they are cops. queer people (and neurodiverse people) have historically been major targets for cops. we are more likely to die at the hands of a cop than our cishet peers. we are more likely to be hospitalized by them. we are more likely to be arrested on no charge. we are more likely to be set up for things we didn't do. we are more likely to have the book thrown at us when we are innocent and minding our own business. normalizing that cops we deal with can be members of our community our community is legitimately dangerous. LGBT cops are not part of the queer community. they are traitors to their community.

drawing the b99 or any cop real or fictional at pride is horrifying. cops have no place at pride. even off duty. pride is not a party. it is a protest. against cops. it isn't a march for general rights. it is a protest against physical and legal brutality against queer people. it is a memorial to the Stonewall Riot, a response to an act of police brutality against trans women in a queer space. that is why it happens in June. so we do not forget.

b99 is written to make us sympathetic to the emotional nuance and physical danger of being a cop. and for some of y'all that is working. even if you don't think it is. because you are willing to babygirl Terry. you coddle Jakes constant corruption. you will go on at length about the trials holt has faced forgetting that they are because he chose to become part of the system that oppresses him.

there is psychological nuance as to why members of oppressed minorities become cops. of course there is. but there should not be social nuance. all cops are bastards. even fictional cops. even your uncle. because they are participating in and perpetuating a violent bastardized system.

yes, this includes Jake and the rest of the b99. it includes Spencer Reid from criminal minds. it includes Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan from bones. it includes Sheriff Jack Carter from eureka. Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durand from gravity falls. Olivia Benson from Law and Order. James Gordon from the DC universe. Ranger Walker from Walker Texas Ranger. RoboCop. Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead. chief wiggam from the Simpsons. Joe Swanson from family guy. Inspector Lastraude from every iteration of Sherlock Holmes. arguably Sherlock himself for how often he cooperates with the police. Inspector Gadget. David tennant's broadchurch roll. and every other fictional cop you can think of.

all of them. even the kind ones. even the black ones. and the queer ones. and the disabled ones. even the ones where the media knows they are a bastard. even when they are there to be the butt of the joke. they are all bastards.

and you can watch them. you can read about them. you can even write about them. you can enjoy their media. but you cannot let yourself forget that they are a cop. and that all cops are bastards. because of you forget about one cop being a bastard, that leaves room to sympathize with other cops. and as we all know, even a cop with personal empathy for you is still a cop who will act with violence and corruption without a second thought. and if you forget that in the wrong moment in real life, you or someone else can and will get hurt. physically hurt. mentally hurt. legally hurt. all of the above. sympathy for cops gets minorities killed.

never let yourself forget that.

all cops are bastards.
