#but my fanart will stay queer as hell

Buddie fans, my loves, come have a seat for a moment.
I want to have a chat, from a long time Buddie lover to you, whether you’re new or have been here a long time.
It’s okay.
I’ve been in the trenches with you. I’ve been pulling for Buck and Eddie to get together for years. I haven’t given up, even as I’ve seen other fans leave because they lost hope. I don’t blame them. The Buddie section of the fandom has been powerful and beautiful and all consuming. We’ve gone seven seasons and up until this point, not one of the two men in question was even confirmed to be queer.
But we all need to take a moment and breathe. That’s it. Stop doom scrolling for a moment and breathe in.
Good. Now hold for a moment.
And breathe out.
I’m going to get real here, alright? And you might not like everything I say and that’s ok.
We need to stop being a problem. Stay with me. I’m not saying we need to stop shipping Eddie and Buck. Far from it. I will love that ship forever. I’m not saying we need to stop our fanfics or fanart or our love for these two. Our feelings are valid. Many of us have been in love with these two for a long time. The Buckley-Diaz family is a strong unit.
Our feelings are valid and we feel what we feel. But our reactions are utterly and entirely our own responsibility.
We need to stop the bullying.
Let’s face it, many Buddie fans have also been long time bullies in the fandom. Particularly in regard to the actresses who have played the female love interests in the past. Don’t get me wrong, aside from maybe Ali, I have disliked every love interest introduced. But have we not yet learned to separate actress from character? If we are going to dislike an actress, let’s do it for a valid reason. Marisol’s actress for example is problematic. But many fans have rained hell down upon any woman introduced.
I’ve noticed this issue for a long time. But now we’re dealing with the issue being even more widespread because of Buck/Tommy. Now fans are bullying each other. The fandom is divided, even in what is probably one of the better seasons we’ve gotten (in my opinion). I need you guys to stay with me here.
Buck is bi.
Let’s say that again. Evan Buckley is bisexual. A major character on a major show on a major network, previously a womanizer and still a very masculine figure, is queer.
This is monumental. This is amazing.
But so many of you are letting your feelings about Buddie get in the way of appreciating the progress we’ve made. Especially with the reintroduction of Tommy Kinard, Buck’s love interest.
Let’s clear up a couple of things, shall we? Tommy Kinard is not Sal DeLuca. He is not Captain Gerrard. While he was part of the old 118 and definitely was in the old boys club, not only is he not the major problem, but in most cases that he’s an asshole, it can be traced back to his own secret. It’s not great, sure. But let’s look at the facts. Chimney is friends and still keeps in touch with him. Hen appears to hold no animosity and was clearly comfortable with him. In Bobby Begins, they all are friends. And clearly, Tommy has undergone a massive self-growth period. You cannot try to back up your point with inaccurate facts.
People can change. People can also be forgiven. It’s the prerogative of those involved. Enough said.
“But TK6,” you may say, “Buck should be with Eddie! Tommy is a plot device!”
Let’s set aside instant gratification culture really quick and talk about storytelling. You cannot get everything you want when you want it. You also cannot have your cake and eat it too. Buck and Eddie, if both queer, were never going to come out at the same time. Do we really want that?! Because identity is messy. Self discovery is messy. Eddie has Catholic guilt. Buck has self esteem/worth issues. Life isn’t a fanfiction. The real possibility of their relationship surviving such a transition isn’t all that high. IF Eddie is canonically queer, he’s going to have a rougher path than Buck has had.
Also, everyone is a plot device. Let’s get real. If a character doesn’t move a plot along, what’s the point? YES, Tommy is there for a storyline. That doesn’t in anyway invalidate his existence or his presence in Buck’s life.
If you want an instant Buddie storyline, visit ao3! There are amazing stories on there.
Now let’s talk about Buck/Tommy, or TEvan.
I am a long time Buddie lover. I also proudly ship TEvan. Yes, those can coexist. I don’t often multiship, but it’s a beautiful thing. I want Buddie to be endgame, sure! But I’m also okay if TEvan lasts. If they end up being endgame, will I be disappointed about Buddie? Of course. I will also be thrilled because Buck and Tommy are a sweet couple and I’m here for it.
As a queer woman, I’m happy that Buck is bi. Multisexual representation is still sorely lacking. Male sexuality that lets a man keep his masculinity while being queer? Even more so. Just take a look at the ao3 tag. Buck is emasculated in many fics. That’s why I stopped reading a lot.
We have a ship here that includes two very masculine men, who are emotionally vulnerable and exploring something new. I understand ship disappointment. But the negativity is wild. We need to stop the bullying. We need to stop the cheating storylines. We need to stop making Tommy into an ab*s*r only because we apparently can’t handle a love interest being a good person.
At the end of the day, these are fictional characters. It’s a fictional show. But these are real people. All of us are sitting here behind our screens with real feelings. We need to stop.
Buddie may one day happen. And maybe they won’t. TEvan might be endgame. They might not be. Tis the way of 9-1-1. It’s exciting, isn’t it? Waiting for something new and exciting. It was starting to get a little stagnant.
As a queer person, I’m not trying to gatekeep anyone. However, we cannot sit here and say “stop queerbaiting us!!!!” (They weren’t, we’ve always had queer representation on 9-1-1) “give us more representation” and then when they give it to us say, “NO! Not that way!”
If it was about the representation, it being Eddie or Tommy would matter a lot less.
So if you are someone using representation to shield yourself, kindly just be honest with yourself and everyone else.
In the words of our Lady and Savior Taylor Swift, “You need to calm down”.
Now, back off into the world of scrolling you go, my lovelies. Remember, keep an open mind and breathe. At the end of the day, it’s a show. But I for one will happily wait for every episode because I’m loving this.

// intro thing cause I haven’t done one for whatever reason
howdy hey, welcome in. but uh first wipe ur shoes on the doormat — robro might actually gut you if you track in mud. you can read the blog’s name, welcome to super hell. enjoy ur stay. i only have a few simple rules:
don’t be weird
really easy just don’t be a wackjob. irdc who interacts as long as you don't do anything problematic when interacting. i very sparingly block people on this blog, so if you do just know you fucked up and maybe you should think about it while sitting in the timeout corner w/ ur little dunce hat 🫶 (u’ll prolly only get blocked if you harass me or try to ship robro and dirk together so don't worry too much. i figure you guys will be safe.)
this also extends to asks. just. dont be weird. i’m a minor and one of the characters is literally a baby. idc about robro thirst (it’s pretty entertaining really) just be mindful that a teenager will be reading ur asks.
2. be chill
i have a lot of asks and notifications so just. if i don’t see smth or answer ur ask immediately don’t get pissy. i’m currently taking ap classes and work part-time, so my schedule is usually filled. i’ll get to your asks eventually, scouts honor. i don’t like conflict, so just don’t try and start anything. i’ll ignore you.
3. have fun
yes this is a rule it’s mandatory that you have a good time here. send me funny asks, (about the characters or i, idc lol), interact with me. go silly go stupid.
extra stuff: please ping me if you want my attention. it helps a lot with sorting through notifications. my name is odie/hal (call me hal if you want me to be happy), my main is @0rphiichaze. if you need me, shoot me a msg there or here idm. if you’re shy and wanna submit fanart privately (tysm), that’d be the way to go as well. i’m also generally down to make friends so just msg me if you want.
anyways i think that’s it, i may add on more when i see fit. peace out queers

I truly believe that i never would've cared about the Batfam long enough to stick around the fandom til now and plan to stay as long as i can if they were like what fanon stans want them to be canonically.Jason is unironically one of the love's of my life as a selfshipper who started reading comics because of him but i detest the 'better' version of him they've created and same goes for the rest of the Bats and all the non-Bats they've ruined to prop them up
No,i don't want to hear about a white man adopting kids just because they have blue eyes and canonical good parents being bashed or killed off so he can replace them.No,i don't think it's right to reduce one of the most iconic and influencel character's in comics history to a chronically happy dumbass manchild who's obsessed with his looks and sex and as an irl eldest sibling i feel personally insulted by what they've done to Dick because they don't know how siblinghood works.No,i don't like that Tim is always either getting demonized and called a bigot and abuser and 'incel' for being a realistic teenage boy constantly dealing with nonstop bullshit thrown at him in addition to already having childhood trauma or woobified and bamfified into a white male power fantasy-Often coupled with sexualization which is just plain horrifying because he's a fucking toddler.No,i don't feel taking an extremely rough and tough and canonically uncomfortable with society's ideas of femininity and what should be romance chinese girl and literally silencing her wants by erasing that she learned how to talk and how even before that she had major attitude and not only feminizing her but having the audacity to not even make her feminine in a chinese way and instead go the white girl femininity route
No,i don't enjoy seeing a brown arab boy who's already a victim of islamophobic stereotypes in canon have even more added onto it by adultifying him either for bashing or simping and even fucking animalizing him so the white boys he's shipped with can 'domesticate'(an actual term i've seen used for him multiple times)him.No,i don't care that Jason being an angry goth asshole and morally gray is hot to you so you decided to erase his canonical trauma response of not being open to dating or sex unless it's with someone he's super close to due to how much hurt he's been through because you see traumatized men as a fetish instead of people and think you're not being ableist because you're a cis woman.No,i don't think i'm being 'too mean' by insulting and saying i fucking hate people who leave out the ONE black Batkid we've ever gotten in all almost 100 years of Batman comics for no real reason yet inserting the blonde white girl who's not even Bruce's daughter in any way because she DATED HIS SON and is basically dating his actual daughter now while doing it in the most mid fanarts and headcanons imaginable and when he's literally everything they love in white boy protagonists from other medias but they refuse to relate to autistic and queer black kids of any kind
I hope everybody who popuralized it back when the fandom was starting out rots and you're foul as hell if you perpetuate it too,i'm 10000000% serious from the bottom of my heart

Dear New Hazbin Hotel Fans
Hey, hi, hello! Welcome to hell, do be careful out there. We have an amazing cast and a bunch of great characters here I know you'll vibe with. I'm also looking forward to all the fanart and fanfics that'll come with the official series finally being released. You may not know, but the characters have canon sexualities. These are off the top of my head and for the main cast only as that's all I remember and know for sure:
° Charlie identifies as bisexual and is in a great, and super positive and supportive relationship with Vaggie, who is queer (sapphic)
° Husk is pansexual
° Angel Dust is our gay king who deserves the world
° Alastor my love, my everything is an asexual king. We love the asexual representation in this house
I just think this is good information to know going forward if you plan on making any fanart or fanfics, as I said. I implore you to check out the wiki as important information has come from various comics, interviews, and livestreams and can be found super easily from there. The livestreams were the best lol
So with that, welcome to our Hazbin Hotel. I hope you'll enjoy your stay

Shipper Tag Game
I was tagged by @a-very-fond-farewell! Thank you so much, darling! Though I'm not sure how good I'll be at it x'D
---
1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don’t care anymore?
Honestly? None. While I did have some ships I was interested in, I wasn't obsessed with any of them. And I kind of still care about them? In a very nostalgic way. So I kind of fail at both parts of this question x'D
2. Which ship would you consider your first one?
If I'm going with the one I got really invested in? Destiel tbh. Mainly because I was very much a late bloomer who didn't really discover fandom and fanfics until I was 20-21. I mean, I HAD read some before that but since I didn't have internet in my apartment until I went to university (I was too poor xD), it wasn't easy for me to access them. Shipping is just easier when you have internet.
But, once I had it, I DID revisit a couple of ships that were technically older than Destiel that I had never really gotten into before that, many of them from video games, anime/manga, and books I'd read. But they were all overshadowed by Destiel so that's the one I remember as my first.
3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?
Are we talking reading or writing? I guess I'll do both?
Reading: I think it was a Zell Dincht/Seifer Almasy one from Final Fantasy VIII that a friend printed out on actual paper and gave to me back when I was 16 or 17 (again, no internet). And I honestly can't say why he picked that pairing xD (I'm definitely more of a Squall/Seifer girlie now)
Writing: Sterek. Because it felt interesting but also not too intimidating. And I also just like werewolves?
4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?
Not really, no. Since I've been drawing for so long I spent more time looking for art than fanfics when I was younger so I probably stumbled over a lot of them without even knowing it.
5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?
Not if I can help it, no. I tend to stay away from that sort of thing as best I can and just let people ship whatever they want. It's honestly none of my business.
6. Did you use to have any no-otp or have it currently?
I have several, mostly based on what I find triggering or squicky. But I don't announce them publically because that's just rude to those who DO ship them. And, as stated above, I try not to get involved in what other people ship or don't ship.
7. Who were the couples in the last fanfic you read?
Choi Yoon/Yoon Hwa Pyung from The Guest. Because who doesn't love some pining and Catholic guilt?
For real, though, I read very few fanfics right now and actually had to go check my history on AO3 to figure this out x'D The second to last fanfic was a Strangers From Hell one. And the one before that was a Guardian one!
8. Currently do you have any OTPs?
Several. Honestly too many to list x'D I'm one of those people who don't really let go of ships I like. They're not always at the forefront of my mind, though, but I remember them fondly and coo a little when I think of all the fond memories.
But if we're talking about the ones I'm the most focused on right now I'd say Kang Yo Han/Kim Ga On from The Devil Judge, Yoon Sa Wol/5-8 from Black Knight (currently struggling with chapter 6 x'D), the aforementioned Choi Yoon/Yoon Hwa Pyung from The Guest, and Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan from Guardian.
9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
Sterek. But that has less to do with my dedication to the characters and more to do with the queerbaiting and how extremely shittily Jeff Davis handled that whole thing. To use the Sterek shippers for publicity and hint that maybe it could happen, only to turn around and do everything within his power to not make it happen?
I take that personally, not because I have a huge stake in Stiles and Derek as characters, but as a queer person who, for once, thought that maybe we would actually get to see a couple we really liked get together, and then didn't.
I had more hope for Sterek than I ever did for Destiel, which technically had more in-canon queerbaiting, because the people behind Teen Wolf did their damndest to give me hope. Only for me to be ignored and basically told I was being gullible for ever thinking it would happen.
And that's a betrayal I'm probably never going to forgive.
10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
Not... really? I can't think of any, at least. But that could be because I always have a pretty good reason for disliking the ships I dislike. As mentioned, it's usually based on triggers and squicks and those don't really change. So my opinion on ships I dislike aren't likely to change, either.
11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
I mean, considering the social climate right now? Even Sterek qualifies because Stiles was underage when I started shipping them and Derek most certainly was not xD That said, I always prefer the fics when Stiles had time to turn 18 before any of the sexy stuff happened.
12. What was your favourite crack ship?
Okay, so, I've actually read a lot of fics for ships I don't actually ship, just for research purposes. Like, I find it FASCINATING to watch what other people like, how they choose to write about the things they like, and how they decide to portray the characters. Basically, I like to analyse authors just as much as I like to analyse characters. It's a hobby of mine.
And one of my absolute favourites was reading fanfics for Newt Scamander and the original Percival Graves from the first Fantastic Beasts movie (Sidenote: She-who-must-not-be-named is an asshole and this is not an endorsement of her franchise or shitty beliefs). And why I loved that so much was because the fics were about THE ORIGINAL Percival Graves who, technically, was never IN the actual movie (he might not even be alive anymore?). Like, it was Grindelwald all the time. We never actually SAW the original Percival Graves, just Grindelwald's impersonation of him.
And I just had so much fun reading various authors' takes on this character who was never actually seen but, based on Grindelwald's impersonation, can sort of be hinted? Because he must have done a good enough job of it that the people around Graves didn't notice? It was like an anthropological dig of Percival Graves transpiring right before my eyes and since I got on the train pretty early, I could see authors being inspired by each other and how the fanon developed over time. 10/10 would recommend if you're interested in watching a fandom evolve.
(also, some of the fics were so fucking good. So there's that, too xD)
13. Who is the couple you read most fanfics of?
I'm not entirely sure if it's Destiel or Stony, but definitely one of them (Sterek is most likely in third place). Partly because there are just so many to partake in (those fandoms are HUGE), but also because they've been with me for so long and numbers accumulate. That said, I haven't read any for those ships in a long, long time. But considering how many fics I devoured during the time I was the most active in those fandoms? It's going to be difficult for any of the ones I'm currently into to catch up.
Also because I tend to be in much smaller fandoms now >_>
14. What do most of your ships usually have in common?
WELL. A while back I would have said that even if there are some enemies-to-lovers tropes and antagonising in some of them, they're all mostly unproblematic and pretty healthy.
... I can't really do that anymore, can I? x'D
I mean, Kang Yo Han is problematic all on his own, but even HE is a green flag compared to Seo Moon Jo. That fucker is just a straight-up psychopath x'D
A more serious answer: An interesting dynamic. Which sounds like a given, but is actually a bit more tricky than that. Because I've only gotten more and more picky over the years. I've actually spoken to my wife and friends about this, because I've seen a pretty noticeable shift in my own shipping practices lately.
I gather fewer and fewer new ships and that's not because I watch/read fewer things, but because I'm getting pickier about them. There has to be an extra spark that interests me, often connected to the characters' personalities and how they play off each other, while, before, a bit of chemistry was enough.
But that also makes me more versatile, I guess? Because I focus less on tropes and more on characters and dynamics. But that also makes it harder to spot similarities xD
15. What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
I mean, hate is a strong word. But, again, it would mostly be connected to my triggers. I don't like ships that are too abusive and unbalanced. A little bit of danger is fine, but things like abuse, infidelity, grooming, non-con etc. don't work for me, personally.
---
I don't really know who to tag so just do it if you want to! :D

mthedm ---> mymaleficaria
Hi gang! I've had this blog since high school, but somewhere in college it fell into disuse and disrepair. I've been itching to get back on here, as a space on the internet that's not...ya know *gestures at the Twitter-sized elephant in the room*. But I also wanted to go in with a fresh coat of paint and reintroduce myself to y'all, maybe even make some new friends (or enemies. That could be hot.) A lot has changed!
Wait, why do I follow you?
Statistically, you followed me because of Wolf 359! I was big into podcasts back in the day, WTNV, Wolf 359, all those. I also wrote some Wolf 359 fics and was semi-active on the discord. Still fondly remember the show and might reblog fanart once in awhile, but it's not the direction this blog's going to go, so feel free to unfollow if what up I'm to now isn't your jam.
What's this blog about now?
Wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy? Frankly, I'm ADHD as fuck, so that'll vary by the day, but I have a few fandoms (do we still say fandoms in the year of our lord 2023???) that I've been into lately.
Dimension 20: I started watching D20 a little less than a year ago, and it entirely took over my life. It's just a series that's so robustly funny, wonderfully told, and never fails to make me smile. I'm especially fond of ACOC and Fantasy High.
Dracula Daily: I'm in this shit for the long haul! I think Lucy and Mina should kiss, but that's neither here nor there.
Game of Thrones/HotD: This show ended in a trash fire, but it literally lives in my head rent free. The political intrigue, the drama. Ugh. I'm a targ girlie through and through, so I've been eating up HotD, though it's nowhere near as good imo. Am also currently reading the 1st ASOIAF book.
YA lit/Whatever I'm reading/watching: I've read almost 50 books this year so far, and am frankly, insane. Bonus points for queer reads! Not many people to talk about books to irl, so might ramble about them on here instead. Also watch a lot of random TV drama and some anime.
Writing: I'm a fanfic writer, and a fiction writer in general, so I'll post stuff about writing--complaints, story snippets, link to my fics, etc! Headcanons and all will be found here. I've also copyedited before, which is like writing but if you get even more nitpicky about it.
Personal/Whatever the hell I feel like/My D&D Games: Life happens and sometimes you want to scream into the void. Ramblings, jokes, whatever. I transed my gender in the past few years and sometimes I'm mad about it! I also just graduated college! Madness! I play a lot of TTRPGs, and I'm usually on brainrot for one of my characters at any given time.
Why's your new username that?
One of my favorite book series is The Scholomance by Naomi Novik, and in the series, Maleficaria are the horrifying monsters that threaten to kill the students every day, and what is tumblr if not a place full of vile, evil beings? Plus, it means you all can call me Mal.
Anything else?
Nope! Other than to feel free to drop me a line and say hello, especially if you want to scream about D20. I'm p alone in this brainrot irl, so I'm pretty much always down to talk about the Bad Kids... especially Adaine and Fabian. I'm also always down to take fic suggestions in my asks! This show genuinely lifts me up when I'm down, so sharing it with people is one of my favorite things.
My fics (shortlist):
In Sweetness, There is Violence: Angsty ACOC one-shot about if Ruby had made a different choice in the finale. Obligatory Caramelinda Caramelinda-ing.
the words i speak are wildfires: A HOTD one-shot I intended to be smut, that ended up instead being more like a romantic sapphic moment of healing between Alicent and Rhaenyra. What can I say? I like childhood friends to enemies to lovers.
Stay Stellar: An unfinished (and, very likely, discontinued) 15-chapter high school AU for Wolf 359 that I wrote with an old friend. Featuring some truly crazy shenanigans, a lot of embarrassing Kepcobi moments, and a surprising amount of theatre.

An index maybe? idk it's pinned post time
Hello!! I'm claudia (She/Xe), i'm queer and trans as hell. I'm an absolute nerd for all things math, podcast, linguistics, and honestly most other things related. I will not shut up about maths and audio dramas, and while i rarely have thoughts on them, i will have emotions about them and y'all will be subjected to those
If you've arrived here, you're probably looking for fun content! I'm awful at tagging things generally, but right now my system of organization looks like:
Mathematics! You can find pretty much everything under the #math or #mathblr tags, and most of these are going to be shitposts about whatever topic has come across my mind today
Podcasts! You can find any specific podcast tagged under its name and sometimes the related acronym (especially spirit box radio, the penumbra podcast, the magnus archives, and station arcadia) or if you just want random audio drama content, check out #the arcane box vibrates (is it obvious i have thoughts on spirit box radio yet im trying to be subtle)
Languages! Generally things in other languages that i post/reblog on here will be tagged in that language (commonly #deutsch, #suomi, and #gaeilge) thought i know i have some legacy tags floating around like #suomiperkele and #deutsches zeug
Video games! Most of my reblogs are about Nier: Automata and Hades Hadesgame, and are tagged under #Nier and #hades respectively. Right now i think most of this is really awesome fanart! Although there is a stardew valley shitpost around here somewhere that refuses to die and has more notes than anything else if you're interested.
Asks are tagged under #undergoing peer review, and feel free to send me any!
In any case, enjoy your stay, drink some water, and stay spooky friends!

My #1 post of 2022
when I say that Will being canonically gay in stranger things is the biggest proof we need for byler it’s not simply because we know he is gay and that’s it - there is context that comes from being in fandoms for something like 12 yrs or more. 
first of all, I’ve started watching ST because of people talking about will and byler on twitter (in july), as a person who barely knew anything about it (I didn’t even know mike and el were a couple, so I was super surprised they decided to make it romantic in s1 when I didn’t really feel like it would happen). 
i was a sherlock fan who shipped sherlock/john. i’ve shipped non-canon couples for a long time (fandom spaces are queer spaces a lot of times). i know what it feels like to read things from a text that could imply things - a text that could be queercoded, depending on interpretation. i know what it feels like to have fun with fanon and ship things that are potentially there, but not textually canon (like steddie or ronance, imo). it’s fun and it’s mostly harmless, until the writers decide to use it as queerbait to make their fandom stay with them for a long time because they’re rooting for their queer ship (i think supernatural is the worst example of this, as they confirmed the one-sided love and then killed the queer character and sent him to hell LMAOOO). those are milking the fandoms, knowing the strongest core of a fandom is the hardcore ones (many queers) and not the casual public.
i’m a big fan of hannibal, yuuri!! on ice and she-ra, three shows that are mostly queercoded until they aren’t (and they confirm the queer ship to be canon). i swear, people CAN tell. you can see when there is a creator and writer and team who truly wants to tell a queer story/relationship, even when they can’t show it openly (like hannibal or yoi). as a person of the community myself, i’ve been able to tell it was canon. it’s different from fans just shipping things, or queerbaiting, there is care and intention and writing and parallels and romantic framing and so many things that make you see that it is there.
(now, for byler i hope it’s different. every straight couple in ST has at least one kiss and i think byler HAS to have at least one (dramatic, passionate, show-stopping) kiss because it would be totally unfair if they don’t. they have to be totally and utterly canon)
what is different about byler and stranger things, compared to sherlock or other shows for the straights? 
it’s will being canonically gay. bbc sherlock would never do that. bbc sherlock would mock feelings. he would laugh about love. he would probably be even a bit homophobic, just for the sake of it.
and it’s not just will being canonically gay, it’s his love for mike being canon. i’m sure other people have said it, but will’s love for mike is NOT JUST A CRUSH. it’s not ridiculed. sure, it’s used to forward a straight ship (that is sinking), but the story is not finished yet and i want to believe that byler is endgame and the writing in s4 was meant to 1) leave things uncomplete and unseattled between mike and will, between lies and non-confessed feelings; and will being in the middle of a relationship that is sinking. 2) mike responding to will’s feelings of love and to no one else, not even el begging for him to say he loves her. 3) making EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS feel sorry for will. cry for will. pity will. root for will. root for GAY WILL. (people who think he is straight and he loves el don’t count, those are morons) 
will’s love for mike is LOVE in capital letters. it is not a crush. it’s never treated as something to laugh about, or something like a one-sided crush like Dustin’s crush for Max or Steve’s crush for Robin, those feelings are clearly more superficial and you can see that they’re not gonna happen from miles away. will’s love is A LOVE THAT MOVES MOUNTAINS. it’s totally romantic. deeply rooted. it’s like those loves you can see between jancy or lumax or even more jopper in s4, a love that saves one another, that makes people do crazy things, a love that is inherently part of the character, that makes them FEEL and DO and LIVE and you can’t imagine them not being in love with that person. 
these writers know how to write that type of love. each canon ship they made (even s1/2 milkvan in some ways), i’ve loved it. they know what they’re doing, how to make it feel like it’s true love even without writing grand love confessions or making them kiss every other episode. it’s in THE NARRATIVE, the things the characters do and say and imply.
and even more, about byler... something i wrote in a fic i’ll never finish but imo it’s the biggest point we can take away from will’s love and confession in s4. WILL SEES MIKE. will sees mike for who he is and loves him anyways. he sees the best and worst in him and still loves him and knows him and grounds him to reality and tells Mike how he could be the best version of himself, pushing him to fight for it (you are the heart). will’s love is ancient and deep, it’s a love that we don’t even know when it started, it’s always been there, it’s always been part of will (and part of mike, because it IS MUTUAL). it’s like breathing. like the sun every morning, it’s just there. it’s not going away. it’s not even a choice, at this point, there is an helplessness in the love will feels - it’s too big and too much for him he would love to run away from it, but still he can’t deny his heart. 
and that’s why i think byler is endgame. because will is canonically gay, and he is in love, and no one is making fun of him for that. his love for mike is serious, profound, romantic, genuine. it makes you cry and root for him. it’s LOVE. the strongest of forces. and every byler scene is made with care. it’s never taken lightly, not even their fights, they always matter. there is no mocking in there. no sneer. it’s treated genuinely. almost like the creators are telling you: “look here, look at them, it matters. it matters to them and it should matter to you. there is something serious brewing here, and it is romantic love”

Okay, seriously ....
Tumblr media
What the FUCK ....
Tumblr media
Was this tacky arse, moving gif loving, neon purple pig bitch or whatever the fuck that freaking icon is now even doing showing up in top posts for me when I've made explicitly sure to have both her and her page blocked? FOR FOUR YEARS NOW?!
Like, Tumblr...?
Tumblr media
WHY did you make me even have to go through the motions of blocking her again for the third time now?! (The second time I blocked her being when she was trying to actively Block Evade me through sending me an anon in order to bypass the fact that I had blocked her the first time.)
I never want hear anyone bitching to her about me bitching on my own blog about having to deal with such an obnoxious BNF ever again, because when I'm complaining about her presence being inescapable even after being blocked, I am complaining because she's inescapable!
And no one seems to care about the fact that sometimes it's by her own force because she BLOCK EVADED ME FIRST?!
The Big Name Fans here that just like ... Hoard all the News and Information just to re-post and regurgitate it (sometimes I think for Money in the Irish guys case) instead of making their own fanart, fanworks and fan merch to help celebrate the shows existence, but instead act like they're Big Shots just for taking a few Screen Shots and acting like everyone owes them something just for making certain information slightly more accessible, to the point where they've gained a certain form of "notoriety" just from that, so they feel like they can act as though certain Former/and or Current Crew Members who have experience working for Viv in general, better be on their Best Behavior, specifically for them and never cross them The Fandom Reporters, or else...
These are the kinds of Big Name Fans that have made just being in this Fandom seem insufferable at times to begin with: The people who archiving the majority of information as it goes active, just objectively aren't very good people with like, the absolute worst taste in everything else and I despise them.
Vivziepaparazzi... Medrano and the Image of her fan base deserves better than it's loudest voices.
A skeevy stalker girl who block evades and harasses people over their differences for being "rude and unlikable x3" when addressing those differences ...
And a skeevy anime incel dude bro gamer whose examples of Good Youtubers TM include the likes of Felix Kjellberg and Logan Paul...
Yes, these are exactly the types of fans I've always wished would be the loudest "Positive" voices in the fanbase, and thus be representatives of both Medrano's work and the overall Image of her fanbase to all of the Adult Queers outside the fandom space for the rest of us...
For the record, I also wished that the Future of this show Could and Would be represented by literally any other company than the one owned by Jeff Bezsos but we're in Hell.
And you know, The Horrors Persist but we stay silly I guess so HERE WE GO!

No but like, if they ever make the Encanto series they really need to explore more about Camilo and his own issues, very heavily (they need to compensate the lack of his character in the movie alright I dont make the rules)
And I think the best way to do it is by having him go through the transition of the new family dynamic after the movie and not knowing how to deal with it. (Yes the shapeshifter has trouble adapting to new stuff fight me)
He was always the smooth, relaxed, rebelious funny guy of the family Madrigal, and knew exactly how to imitate and copy everyone around him. He was the perfect chameleon ready to lighten the mood.
But now, everyone's personalities have shifted a lot, and he doesn’t know how to mimic them like before.
Luisa now relaxes a lot more, even goes to play and talk with the children of the village and making friends her age too. Isabela is now the rebellious of the family and goes around no longer as a model of perfection, but just as an adventurer ready to learn what many other plants could she create.
Dolores no longer feels pressured to be the one listening to all of the people's troubles and struggles, she can now focus on herself and on her new relationship with Mariano; she doesn’t really pays attention and just talks really smoothly and passionate with her amorcito. Mirabel went from outcast to towns favorite really quick, teaching them how to fix dresses and ruanas, how to make plushies and so on, she is now the beacon of the fun times for everyone.
Julieta and Pepa are more vocal now about their own emotions. Julieta now leaves the cooking to Agustín and then she adds the magical touch. Pepa's storms are actually manageable since she doesn’t bottle up her emotions anymore (Felix couldn't be more delighted about his love's new freedom).
Tío Bruno went from mysterious and terrifing to actual sweetheart, and its a whole new person Camilo hasn't seen enough about to actually know him.
He isn't the true copycat of anyone. everyone changed so quickly that everything he learned about their mannerisms and personalities doesn’t matter anymore.
Neither he is the most relaxed, the most rebellious, the smoothest or the funniest of the family Madrigal.
What exactly is he now?
Has he spend so much time learning about others interests and clicks, that he totally forgot to find his own unique self?
(If anyone has a fanfic about this or wants to write it Im begging send it straight to me so I can get some of that fan content por favor)

FIC MASTER POST
I write a lot of AUs, and also just in general. A lot of it is too short, bad, or weird for AO3, so I post them here. For ease of access, I'll put links to every short story here. Those that belong to a greater AU will be sorted under the AU. Miscellanea will be posted just under the fandom. They will be roughly chronologically ordered.

Gonna hit you with a curveball - How about Carolina?
Uhhhhh oh boy. Out of all the characters. For multiple reasons I must ask y’all not to judge me.
fgdsdds YOU ASKED and I am nothing if not honest and oversharing
Why I like them: To be honest, of the MCs she’s probably the one I’m least attached to. I think I started liking her in season 15. Waitwait— I liked her interactions w/ Epsilon I think. IDK, been a minute since I’ve watched the seasons after BGC. Some of the fanart does have me simping, but we’re focusing on canon here and canon face reveal Carolina looked like… 30 minimum (I know she wasn’t but she looked like a mom to me idk), which is still old to me so *shrug*. Season 15-17 was great for Carolina imo. But fandom Carolina is really what won me over. And not just because she’s hot! I mean— FUCK! Can we— Can we change the subject?
Why I don’t: She just felt so… flat? cold? for the longest time. Obviously that changed with time, but I did not care much for her initially.
Favorite episode (scene if movie): Facing herself in the Labyrinth was pretty cool. Showed how far she’s come.
Favorite season/movie: Maybe 15? Velocirocktor is the shit.
Favorite line: “Can I sing?” and all those scenes implied. It established her current dynamic with them so well haha
Or the awkward, “Bow chicka bow wow?”
Favorite outfit: Her Halo 4 armor is most aesthetically pleasing to me. As for out of armor in fan drawings, anything that shows off those gorgeous muscles. Tank tops are good.
OTP: This is gonna sound cringey as hell, but since I don’t have a ship with her in the show— one of my characters in upcoming series Queer Canyon. Spinach (pronounced spinahk) is chatty and over the top and works best with someone who tolerates and enjoys that about her while still grounding her to keep her from getting herself into too much trouble. I think they’d be cute as hell together. In my defense, I realized if they met Spinach would fall for her months before I started simping for Carolina art. Carolina is exactly her type and as soon as I realized I started planning a potential crossover that may never see the light of day. (to clarify, in the planned 3 seasons of Queer Canyon they don’t meet the official RvB characters. Different simulation outpost, different freelancers, this is just a fun what-if ship) I am not opposed to Carolina ships though. They’re all pretty cute, I just don’t personally ship any of them I guess? Maybe I’ll pursue a ship in my fanonverse with her eventually, but currently I don’t have one planned.
Brotp: Carolina and Wash. I love their bond and pray it is kept platonic. Would love to see more of Carolina with literally any of the others though.
Head Canon: Carolina’s first name is actually Carolina. Not anything revolutionary but I don’t really have any big headcanons about her right now.
Unpopular opinion: IDK if this unpopular, but I think she has dark hair. Those roots look dark to me.
A wish: To see her interacting with the others more. Feels like she was always either with Epsilon or Wash. I want more dynamics!
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: This is also unpopular, but please don’t officially pair her up with Wash? I don’t care whether she ends up in a straight-passing relationship. I don’t care about Tuckington. I just want their beautiful relationship to stay platonic. But if it does happen, Rooster Teeth… DON’T YOU DARE CONFIRM THEM BEFORE GRIMMONS OR I’M COMING FOR YOUR ASSES*
5 words to best describe them: determined, strong, competitive, tunnel-visioned, protective
My nickname for them: I know everyone calls her Lina, but I always call her Carolina. I’ve tried using the nickname but it just doesn’t feel natural for me personally. My tag for her is //floor is lava undefeated champion
*for legal reasons this is a joke. Also, for personality reasons the most you have to fear is a strongly worded email about how disappointed I am in you.

OC PROFILE
the lovely @henbased​ ​ tagged me to do this and I finally took a break from cooking up some fanart (literally for this very OC lmao). this is gonna be a treat! 💕
Tumblr media
everything under the cut [look at this pretty picture of my funky queer little bastard tho, I love her!]
GENERAL
name: Gigi (I guess her last name is Rook? I mean it’s my character but I literally don’t know)
alias(es): Rookie and Dep of course but also Bitch (affectionately)
gender: female, mostly I think
age: 26
birthdate: Aug 4
place of birth: some shithole in the woods, I wouldn’t know
hometown: Missoula, Montana (nobody tell anyone that I just came up with this on the spot solely because I like the way Missoula sounds, this is a secret between you, the internet and me now shhh)
spoken languages: English, some rudimentary Norwegian and Spanish (ja, jeg snakker litt norsk hehe)
sexual preference: none. we just be horny 4 everyone.
occupation: literally Junior Deputy of the Hope County Sheriff’s Department 🤠
APPEARANCE
eye color: dark brown
hair color: very dark brown
height: 1,60m
scars: some on her arms, mostly scratches from cats (big and small) and running around in the bushes after that fateful night of the helicopter crash on Joseph’s property and even more on her legs. pretty much all from having a very active childhood, scraping her knees and shins often and picking at the scabs - a habit she has yet to quit even as an adult.
then of course there are the sins she got from John. I still cannot decide if he marked her with wrath or pride (which I definitely think would at least be my sins, this bitch be furiously wrathful!) but she definitely got ✨lust✨ on her hip as a lovely little bonus from our favourte baptist/amateur tattoo artist.
FAVOURITE
color: lemon yellow
hair color: she doesn’t really have any but I’d still consider her at least a fan of a soft shiny brown
eye color: pretty much the same, she doesn’t really have any
song: Make Your Own Kind Of Music by Cass Elliot (but also Reptile by NIN (and Closer, of course))
food: the ikea vegan hot dog. seriously. (listen its US release almost lines up with the FC5 timeline so I’m just gonna indulge in the fantasy and go ahead) no pickles tho. and she has an almost unhealthy obsession with mentos.
non-alcoholic drink: orange juice and ginger beer
alcoholic drink: everything that gets you drunk fast, except for vodka - oh sophisticated teenage years. Gigi can appreciate a nice beer though if it’s not too bitter. pretends to like Guiness but nobody knows or gets why.
HAVE THEY..
passed university: I like to imagine she went to community college.
had sex: yes
had sex in public: maybe 👀
gotten pregnant: the occasional dollar store tests bought in a panic fortunately always said no
kissed a boy: yes
kissed a girl: yes
gotten tattoos: something else I only have a vague idea about. I do wanna say yes, because - and I literally came up with this yesterday - I can imagine John has taken special interest in this smol bundle of rage so to be an extra meanie to his bratty bitch he gave her an Eden’s Gate symbol tattoo just below the neck, between her shoulder blades when she got her scars to basically brand her as the Project’s property... Is that too extra?
gotten piercings: earrings only (she has toyed with the idea of getting a belly button piercing though)
been in love: because I am Gigi is a sappy little ass, she constantly falls in love with the people around her and life itself :) and we love to see it
stayed up for more than 24 hours: yes, but it was no fun for everyone involved
ARE THEY…
a virgin: no
a cuddler: Y E S
a kisser: not a big one, but she’s most certainly not averse to it
scared easily: not really scared but it’s unfortunately easy to spook her
jealous easily: sadly yes. she does her best to work on it though and not let it affect her relationships
trustworthy: hell yes! this bitch will protect you, your family and your seecrets if you need them to
dominant: only outside of the bedroom
submissive: yes, sexually (but doesn’t like to admit it)
in love: with literally everyone who has ever been kind to her and their dog
single: yes. wait! does having and absolute queen of a workwife, Deputy Joey Hudson, count tho?
RANDOM QUESTIONS (tw for self harm/suicide mention)
have they harmed themselves: except for occasional binge drinking in her late teens, no
have they thought about suicide: yes (haven’t we all?)
have they attempted suicide: no
wanted to kill someone: each and every day ✨
have/had a job: yes. she is literally the Deputy. hehe
have any fear(s): being alone/lonely and without love; NOT being alone when she should be; not being properly prepared for sudden desaster
FAMILY
(I’m leaving this blank because I have literally never thought about this stuff and I would honestly rather keep it that way. My dep just started existing one day. Poof!)
siblings:
parents:
children:
significant other:
pets:
I tag @yeetslovescheese, @josephslittledeputy and everyone else who wants to do this! I would love to read about all of your characters. ♡

ok so this year. there have been very long periods of NOTHING to do at work for almost 8 hours, except drinking tea and browsing the internet, so i’ve drunk a lot of tea and read a lot of webcomics (or as i like to call them, Enrichment For My Enclosure). i don’t think i’ve read this many webcomics since i was in middle school, and webcomics were straight back then. it’s the wildest thing. i actually tried to find some of those old webcomics out of nostalgia, but some of the webpages don’t even exist anymore. i’ve also reread + caught up on namesake, which turned ten years old this week i think??? i’ve been meaning to do that for a couple years ahaha ha ha..... also stand still stay silent, hence my sudden burst of fanart all of a sudden a little while ago. i think i felt compelled to reread that one due to Circumstances. if i wasn’t getting my work hours cut i would’ve been in real danger of rereading gunnerkrigg court, too... anyway i just wanted to make a small rec list for some of my new faves! some of these are honestly comics i should’ve read sooner, but i’ve struggled to make stars align - Vainglorious (dumbass dragon gets turned into a human, tags along with a dumbass human and they meet a dumbass elf. it’s VERY good) - Sakana (FISH BOYS)
- How to be a Werewolf (supernatural slice of life/chill werewolf politics???)
- Goodbye to Halos (???trans and queer dimension hopping???)
- Come Hell or High Water (gay pirate/prince romance :3c)
- Undivine (when u go to a religious school and summon an ancient demon and sell your soul Just Because You Can i guess) EDIT i almost forgot - Novae (gay 17th century scientist romance and also magic)

mumble mumble something about how the chorus is singing "show the way" when hades and persephone have their "we'll try again next fall" conversation, and how this relates to the way orpheus and eurydice's love shows hades and persephone how to love each other again to the point where hades is able to articulate his love for his wife by saying he'll wait for her

pjo fic idea: percabeth and all the myth archetypes they live through, over and over again
they're walking in manhattan and they have to be careful that annabeth stays ahead because they've been warned about percy looking back to her following him (orpheus and eurydice)
percy walks by the climbing wall while annabeth is trying to beat the camp record and her wrist gets caught in a harness and she swings to face out like she's been tied to the rock face (as an offering to the kraken) (perseus and andromeda)
percy keeps getting lost in hallways (despite having a decent memory for where he's been) and has to wait for annabeth to lead him out (theseus and ariadne)
they've been warned not to play frisbee around each other (apollo and hyacinth)
when they're asleep in bed at 2 am and percy mumbles something hurts, half-conscious annabeth pulls out her phone flashlight to examine his bruise, and the phone falls on his shoulder and somehow burns him (eros and psyche)
chiron, only half-joking, tells them to avoid planting things together (jason and medea)
annabeth somehow manages to rip her shirt on a doorknob while percy's at the store and only realizes what happened when he walks through the door (two hours late because of traffic) and she realizes she's weaving trying to sew the hole closed (odysseus and penelope)
"aren't you sick of it?" mumbles annabeth, one evening, when they're sitting on the couch. "why can't we just get our own story?"
"i wish i could tell you," says percy, kissing her hair and smelling laurel leaves

eurydice says "people turn on you just like the wind" in any way the wind blows and she means it in a bad way -- when someone turns on you, they've betrayed you, their back is to you, they're not on your side. but when orpheus turns on her, it's an expression of his love, because he's turning TOWARDS her and not AWAY from her, but also it's the thing that dooms her, so really she's foreseeing her own downfall here, but then again orpheus is doing it out of LOYALTY and in short i am in hell about this musical

liveblog-ish pt. 2
Once again, some of these are from while I was listening, some are in retrospect. I find that typing while listening takes away from the ~full experience~
Anyways here’s my thoughts from episodes 10 - 15. spoilers, obviously.
(I forget how I formatted it last time so you’re stuck with this)
Ep 10 • Darius? DARIUS!!!! • Dont worry jared I'm just as dense as you. My friend had a crush on me for a year and almost confessed like 3 times and I never noticed • "Not trying hard enough" I'm gonna fistfight this therapist • I'm falling in love with darius by proxy • Oh god oh god camera • HELL YEAH STATIC AND GLITCHES
Ep 11 • WHAT • CASTIO?????? • OH GOD WTF • THIS IS JARED'S LAB PARTNER? THE CREDITS LADY???? • OH GOD • "Some... thing" Aghhhhhhhh • Oh god oh no oh god oh no • "Its" fuck you • Ok I'm gonna shut up and listen • Note from relisten: fuck he's being observed so much • "Creatures like those" this rules out option 1 • NO STAY AWAY FROM GROVE!!! I'm scared of dog sounds but I love him so STAY AWAY • Mr Zimmer sounds like the classic evil podcast man, like cutter • Note from relisten (bc I was too shook and angry the first time): FUCK ZIMMER • Dr rahal????? No he can't be evil too!! • "Human shell"???? • Note from relisten: this puts all the 'curse this flesh prison' in a very different light • Ok I'm gonna listen now
Ep 12 • Yup I knew they were evil therapists • Jared run away with darius. Just. Elope. • Not many notes bc I'm still reeling from ep 11
Ep 13 • IM CRYING THIS IS SO SWEET • Half of the truth is out! Congrats!! • He took that really well, but,,, oh my,,,,, the classic 'staring in horror at your loved one's scars',,,,,,, I have Emotions
Ep 14 • "Pacification of various creatures" fuck • Tbh I forgot abt this guy but he has extreme Long Term Shadowy Big Bad vibes. I feel dread about him • Yes Jamie hacker
Ep 15 • Ace mood. Pls no more details • Oh fuck did past-Jared kill Jamie's friend • I feel like my observations are highly influenced by the fact that I'm listening to this after a year long tma obsession which made me very suspicious of anything that even resembles something nice for the main character. My brain just automatically prepares for the path of deepest tragedy. Anyways I'm still convinced that Jared's past holds some pretty terrible stuff that he'll be horrified by if/when he finds out about it, including but not limited to his involvement in Jamie's friend's death. This is due to both how the blue lady said he changed so much since they last met (which ig could be referring to lots considering the whole "human shell" thing but STILL) and my "we can't have nice things" mentality • (My tone in the previous point was far too stuffy, imagine me saying all that very emotionally and distressedly like the conspiracy theorist I am) • But other than the looming dread, I'm so happy abt jared and Jamie's friendship!! Going from him thinking that he couldn't call her bc they never really talk to inviting her over to his house. Progress!!!!
• I’m completely hooked on this podcast now. Jared sounds like a Friend and I care him so much. I need him and Darius to be okay but at the same time I eagerly await the spooky horror stuff that’s bound to come next
• YIKES after the ep 11 revelation I’m so excited for the next episode,,,,, that feeling of excitement and dread and anticipation and agggghhhhh
• that rec list that said ‘here’s podcasts to fill the tma shaped hole in your heart’ wasn’t lying,,, I daresay this is better than tma. completely different vibes, but more my style (THE PROTAGONIST ACTUALLY HAS FRIENDS!!! GOD I CARE THEM SO MUCH)
• also something I haven’t really mentioned but I’m absolutely LIVING FOR is the sheer amount of queerness....... like, a canon nb protagonist??? with other nb friends???? and they actually like. Talk about gender????? (and also the whole not changing name and pronouns makes me so happy bc I also like my given name and don’t wanna change it, obviously for different reasons than jared, but it’s still nice to relate to) God it just gives me so much good happy feels, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a podcast that has so much good rep, and that’s not even starting about all the other queer relationships and how normal it all is. oh, to live in a queer small town full of cryptids.......
(also just to clarify, jared IS still using he/him, right? bc I’ve seen some fanart descriptions using they/them but I don’t remember hearing him say that he was gonna try that. maybe I missed it. I can be quite oblivious. if so, apologies, my brain decided to blank out at the wrong time and I’ll correct this post)
