simon from lord of the flies is a criminally underrated queercoded character from classic literature. "my poor misguided boy, do you think you know better than I do?" what do you mean by that. "you like ralph a lot don't you?" what do you mean by that. why does he spend all his time frolicking in the forest and enjoying the beauty of nature. why is he stereotypically feminine. why does he break the heteronormative gender roles that the other boys conform to. why does he have religious trauma. why does he become "the beast" in the eyes of the other boys as they follow the growing up allegory. why does he think about ralph smiling at him for so long that he literally crashes into a tree. don't be shy william golding you can tell us

You know, for all the Grushenka/Katya talk I've seen on this site, I barely see art of them that isn't the hand kissing scene. So I've come here to do something about it. Thinking about what they could have been makes me sad.
Second one is Katya dolling Grusha up while being weird about it (as she is about almost everything)

i rember that a while ago, someone in the mgs tag that had just played mgs1 asked if the treatment of female characters/misogyny of the game series does get better/go away as the games go on. And honestly? even if solid snake´s interactions with women become better over time (the original post was specifically abt the way solid snake talks to women in mgs1) I would argue that the series treatment of women almost gets worse.

reading gk is so psychologically exhausting for me. like as someone with a phd in bl and as someone who used to read a lot of shounen and as someone who read 7 parts of jojo. somehow. noda is uniquely harrowing.

was anyone gonna tell me how much Andronikos comes onto you even as male Inquis or was I supposed to find that out myself.
even his ex acts like you're his new flame now LOL like what was that conversation when you leave the spaceport too. "Too much has happened between us Case, but I'm moving on. There's someone new." 'I know Andronikos...just be careful, you old lub' meanwhile the Inquis is standing there like '?? what's going on' "nothing don't worry about it" <- only one who doesn't know they're dating trope despite being in the relationship
"We see eye to eye" I'm lost......lost in your big brown soulful bisexual eyes foo.....
Idk man that kinda sounds like a date.
What do you do for fun? Nothing? Ok well we can have fun together. I'll show you.
adjkhskakl Eight's never really met someone who takes him out just to have fun that's cute. I see you pirate man. You're not so hardball as you say. next you'll be taking him to a claw machine place to win plushies
Andronikos: Need something?
Eight: [A massage would be nice] I do have this knot in my back....
:( but we have a back-scratching relationship! He'll massage you too!
Flirt FAILED

i guess that's my attitude towards all media i enjoy really lol. i would rather have something with high highs and dismal lows than something that's just fine the whole way through
i'll easily look past a lot of problems in stuff if it does something uniquely enjoyable. and that does include actual problematic elements too. i'm aware of them, i will warn for them if asked, i'll often vocally criticize them myself if i feel like posting critical stuff, but it won't stop me from loving something that otherwise caters to me
granted i think this is true of basically everyone to some extent, but i think everyone has a line where if it's crossed it actually ruins something they would otherwise love. and my line is very far in the distance compared to most people's i think. i'm pretty good at focusing on what really appeals to me and rolling my eyes at what doesn't. as long as something about it really appeals to me.

My favorite trope will always be genuinely intimidating and/or powerful characters who just decide they really like one normal ass guy in particular and want to help him by whatever means necessary.
Meanwhile that normal ass guy is either completely confused and/or scared but helps them regardless.
Bonus points if the entire friendship is dripping in homoeroticism!
