Spock was one of the OG aroace characters and somehow we just. Never acknowledge that. Spock is so screamingly aroace-coded but when we talk about TOS from a queer perspective all we talk about is K/S shipping culture
and then the reboot movies fucking allowashed him

Fucking hell I've just read a thesis on ‘why Larry can come out in 2023' and it made me really angry
There are three immediate thoughts I have on the first section:
If Harry wants to be Beyonce, how does he do that without the fantasy boyfriend market which would likely be destroyed by him entering into a public relationship with a man?
And how does Harry continue to sell out international stadium tours without that market? Because there isn't a comparable male singer out there who is doing it.
This whole thing centres around these fans perceptions of their success, and shows a real lack of understanding of how success in the music industry is actually achieved.
The audacity it takes to write shit like this: "HL and their teams seem to still be operating under the erroneous assumption that a public figure’s career will be over as soon as they come out." Truly, how could Harry, Louis or the experts on the industry around them possibly have a better perception of the risks associated with public queerness than you?
And this gem: "Further to this, fandom energy more broadly is also reflective of the level of stunts. This was observable how during heavy stunting by Holivia, the fandom was characterised by general exhaustion with a much reduced passion." - And isn't this period the same period in which Harry's fanbase had a total growth spurt? Stuff like this shows a really narrow lens and an over inflated sense of fandoms own importance
But be for fucking real with this: “Kit Connor - Prior to coming out he was the subject of controversy online for ‘queerbaiting’, which forced his coming out. However after coming out, the general public forgave him heartily, and he received such a huge energy of love and support. This was also extensively and positively covered in the media.” The kid was hounded and hounded into making a public statement about his sexuality. I’m sure he’s glad to know folk think he’s been forgiven and that it was all fine in the end.
And then by the point I got to this "- Top 5 regrets of the dying—the top two regrets were: 1) not living true to themselves, and 2) working too much. Harry and Louis are unfortunately doing both of these—by being closeted they are working too much with not being true to who they are. This is a life that people inevitably regret." I wanted to commit murder myself, imagine thinking you have the goddamn right to tell someone else what their regrets will be. Nevermind suggesting that you know better what the right life choices are of a stranger. That you know whether they’re being true to themselves or not and that you can pass judgement on that. I’m sorry to every single fucking queer person who reads that and this rationale of ‘omg the worlds not that homophobic any more you can come out now’ and internalises it. Nice job causing some real fucking harm.
So I’m having to finish this here and take myself for a walk before I yeet my laptop out the window x

Gravity Falls AU where Dipper is trans and his chosen name is Tyrone, getting the legal paperwork/ids to reflect that.
While I think it's sweet for a Cis!Dipper to learn to appreciate his birth name Trans!Dipper is 100% a Tyrone.
The reason I say AU is because I absolutely love the Trans!Dipper headcanon but I don't think it exactly works canonically. THAT BEING SAID content with a Trans!Dipper as well as a Trans!Grunkle Stan is amazing.

“And for my next trick I’m going to nitpick the shit out of every last tiny detail in this film under the pretence of a so-called analysis which will actually be a six-hour long video where I bitch about the film and explain its plot badly, using my petty issues with it as an excuse to bitch about women, minorities, and anyone who’s different, along with a ton of self-promoting ego-stroking wankery and brainrot induced contrarianism. But I’m calling it a critique so I can’t possibly be wrong. Right?”
(That’s what they’d usually say if they were self aware)
Let’s be real. This is what a lot of so-called video essays turn out to be.
Nitpicking. Rage bait. Bullshit.
Not all of them.
Just some of them.
But a good number of them regardless.
End it!
Starting yesterday!

Being involved in fandom is basically a full time job.
Someone set up payroll or some shit already, I’m very overworked and underpaid!

Some cunt reported the gift fics I wrote in exchange for donations (to a charity and a friend's IVF GoFundMe, both years ago) to AO3. I can only think it's because I recently cross-posted an old gift fic, and I guess someone got a bee in their bonnet.
If I had mentioned a fic being commissioned or tried to direct people to my ko-fi (which I would never do) I'd accept the banhammer coming down on me with grace. But these fics were written to help victims of an earthquake, to help one of my dearest friends have a baby.
Is it in violation of AO3's guidelines to thank donors in the author's notes? Apparently yes, according to the email I received. Is the person who reported it STILL a cunt? Also yes.
I understand why AO3 takes these precautions, and I don't blame them at all. In fact, I appreciate that they gave me a week to fix a problem that can be corrected in 5 minutes. I only blame the person who reported me.
There won't be any real repercussions for ME. All I have to do is remove the tags and notes off of a handful of fics.
The only people actually being punished are the donors, who no longer get credit for their donations. :))))
For a third time: CUNT
May their fries be cold and their socks moist for the rest of their lives.

Every cautionary aspec fandom post is like, "I'm not saying allos who ship aspec characters are necessarily aphobic," but I'm saying that. Y'all don't get the benefit of the doubt.
If you're alloromantic and you romantically ship an aromantic character who's not explicitly, canonically romance-favorable, you're aphobic.
If you're allosexual and you sexually ship an asexual character who's not explicitly, canonically sex-favorable, you're aphobic.

yeah, when Harry counts up his regrets in 50 years I'm sure the year he became the biggest star in the world and sold out stadiums internationally and set about 48098 records will be right up at the top 👌 likewise Louis who just had the most joyous and successful year of his career and is absolutely loving his life and continually tells us so and is looking ahead at even bigger and better things. but oh no he had to like an actresses insta post! I'm sure he cries all night over it
I defo think that I have limited idea of what I’ll regret when I’m on my deathbed, and I’ve no idea what I’ll regret when I’m old. I don’t think famous people are different, like we all go through life trying to make the best choices for ourselves and sometimes we’ll think we got them right and sometimes we’ll think we got them wrong, and sometimes our perception of that will change at different points in life but that’s just human.
But I have a massive issue with this sense of entitlement over someone else’s life, the idea that they could be ‘truer’ to themselves by performing their sexuality/relationships in a manner some people think is more real is quite upsetting. And how fans think we know enough about the lives of two celebrities or their goals to make any judgement on regret is really out there.
I just keep getting stuck at the same thought though which is that what these fans are saying isn’t actually about Louis and Harry (or any other) being able to be ‘true to themselves’, it’s just about them performing their sexuality in a way that fans find more palatable, that they think is right.
That whole post is knee deep in homophobia, disregards queer history and reality and just had a really privileged/warped world view that I can’t get over.
