the whole having to make a disclaimer when you make a joke about like. white people. or allocishets. or just oppressor groups in general is so messed up bc like. i would LOVE a disclaimer before every sitcom episode my family watches (help) like just. jennifer aniston at the beginning of friends like
"hi! this episode contains 3 instances of 'jokes' made targeting the queer community with an intent to capitalize on harmful stereotypes (instituted by the oppressor class with a goal of otherization and degradation) for a ridiculing and unnerving effect! thus delegitimizing queer voices and identities in the mainstream and contributing to subconscious biases and ostracization of minority groups by viewers at home in the favor of "edgy" comedy!! plus a bonus of wlw sexualization at the end :) that's all, enjoy <3"
like ARE YOU KIDDING!?!??! then i wouldnt have to sit there the whole fucking 45 minutes on the edge of my seat waiting for the fucking jumpscare of queerphobia. like, i know its coming at some point every 2-3 episodes but i would like to have some preparation??? like slap a warning label on that thing frfr (*smack* "this baby can fit so much transphobia disguised as light-hearted humor!")
but nOoOOOoO we're the sensitive ones having to sit through EVERY MAINSTREAM MEDIA SHOW ON THE PLANET just WAITING for That One (1+) Gay Joke and knowing you cANT make a big deal about it because its "JUST a JOKE" and we DO. IVE LITERALLY CONSUMED STRAIGHT MEDIA THAT MAKES GAY JOKES FOR 17 YEARS. ALL THE WAY BACK TO FUCKING DISNEY VILLAINS. AND IVE LET U HAVE YOUR FREAKING JOKES BC IM NOT IN A SAFE SPACE TO ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING
and yet anytime someone dares make a SINGULAR joke generalizing white or straight or allo or whatever people EVERYONE FREAKS THE FUCK OUT like i know karen its not ALL. STRAIGHT. PEOPLE. can i make a sINGULAR joke based on my personal experience and perception of a shared "straight" culture and norms that often benefit the oppressor class and make my everyday life difficult JUST ONE JOKE. JUST ONE. THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. JUST LIKE EVERY FUCKING GAY JOKE IN A SEINFIELD EPISODE EVER WASNT A "PERSONAL ATTACK" RIGHT?!?!?!?!?
stfu. we're tired. you're literally lucky we aren't less depressed or sleep-deprived or you'd be bkjldsjfljfs

i made that post about how the death island x astron collab selling matching watches themed after chris and leon is gay marriage coded mostly as a joke but then i rewatched the death island trailer and?? they wear the watches in the movie?? and like. in their zombie-killing gear AND their casual attire in multiple scenes over multiple days so it's not just part of their uniforms lmao these watches are something they bought themselves and intentionally wear every day.
capcom i need you to tell me what the in-universe explanation is for chris and leon having matching two-thousand-dollar watches. i am congratulating them on the gay marriage and the old man yaoi

PLEASE go on about your bushmed spoovy double date ideas!! (x)
OMFG i wrote one FOREVER AGO (that i literally only just posted on here) that was them watching antique roadshow and making bets about what is real or what isn't etc. i think that's my favorite one to think about. or like an auction show that they place bets based on bid amounts ("IT IS NOT WORTH MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND--!!" etc)... LMAOOO. i think i default to this kind of thing because i think all four of them appreciate art and culture, albeit all have a Vastly different relationship with + understanding of it. which i really like!
if you know me then you know i cannot stand the idea of heavy or sniper being labeled as "Stupid" when i don't think either of them are in any capacity. heavy has a lot more booksmarts given that he has a phd and sniper has a lot of valuable practical knowledge, which i think medic and spy sit Neatly in the middle as having a good balance of both (this isn't to say heavy isn't resourceful. he absolutely is. i just prefer to put Emphasis on his love for Scholarly Subjects given that i think it's something sorely overlooked and is an interesting and fun contrast/compliment to some of his coworkers + spy)! i could make a whole post on this but i digress. let's move on!
i think they have dinner together where two of them cook and two of them brings drinks + desserts. the four of them are big on food (though medic and sniper are far from the "foodies" that heavy and spy are!)! heavy and sniper get along very well (Gentle Giants) and medic and spy like Bantering off of each other (Old Queens With Big Egos) so they click together more naturally than one might think hehe!
i don't think they'd have "book club meetings" (though i do hc that some of the mercs have those) together because i don't think it would be medic and sniper's jams (even though they both enjoy reading. i just don't think either of them would enjoy 'Social Reading' if you will), but i think sniper would idly ask for a book recommendation from heavy (who would be over the moon at the idea and would take LOTS of time thinking about it. Very Serious Business) and Would read it if heavy picked it out for him since that kind of thing goes a long way with sniper!
spy loves to start shit that riles medic and sniper up. heavy does not. -_- spy is an agent of chaos after all...! and it's not HIS fault medic and sniper just get sooo wound up SO easily! >:) it's like they're BEGGING to be antagonized! *snort* LOL... but spy CAN be persuaded to have some mercy on their friends... heavy gives him A Look (Spy.... No More Causing Trouble.) and spy knows better than to go against the wishes of his beautiful Misha... u3u of course he wasn't causing any trouble! don't be ridiculous! but Yes Misha My Love I Will Cease Immediately At Your Request.. <3
i think sniper and medic are both VERY sore losers/get REALLY into competition when they Get Into It (if that makes sense) and spy doesn't care he just likes riling them up and heavy is competitive but still very lax... KSDFDSF. i think both couples can have nice dinner dates together or chaotic fun! there's lots of variety in all of their personalities, so you can do pretty much anything with them!!

i'm thinking about a certain christophorus pi hatchenson and all that wasted potential because the website burned and the rewrite is on hiatus for other stuff "set in the same world", but i don't care about that and EVEN before that the thrown out potential with how his arc was going in favor of. what? i don't even know and i can't trust my memory to know. boobs? last time i saw him on the website version of the webcomic my poor guy was done for. he was decapitated and his head was just a skull by then but man.jpg i want him carnally.
it doesn't work if i announce my gaslighting intentions before gaslighting proper but if you see me talking about romac from now on its not about the webcomic. its about the excruciatingly obtuse dating sim where you control snippy and i'm trying so so hard to get into pilots pants but you start with max negative affinity (for reasons both real, imagined and misunderstood) and also he's in love with captain so overturning all that? WITH the major boss battle you have AGAINST pilot (when he reconnects to annet 😔) that finally gets him to warm up to you?? this is brutal. this game is brutal. the timer limit too since marrying cancer and letting them fuse your body to your clothes is mandatory. how do i unlock the sloppy wild gay android sex cgs. come on man
(edit to add more to the previous concept because i thought it was funny)
i'll go some steps further; the captain route would be most enticing as a first run because zee's mysterious and whimsical and nutty and etc. but also the main road blocks of it would be lore dumps through riddles that a first time player would simply not understand. endgame after you get everything from everyone else and cross question them and get their endings etc (the dating sim is meta connected but in a way only captain and maybe annet can control. you fumble through it) you are zirs best and prettiest little minion and you lost your mind by then trying to comprehend the cosmic horrors (and beauties) behind zirs mask and are ok with it. pilot hates you so so much though. aoorfjaosoaka
next to captains route, pilots route would also be lore-through-riddle heavy, but it would be somewhat easier to understand if you gave him a chance and didn't immediately write him off as equally/more insane as captain. getting him to talk about specific lore in a specific way that makes snippy (and you) understand is a herculean task though
in terms of attractiveness of first runs, next to pilot is engie, who joins late, is beyond terrified of your presence (despite you honest to god being just some goober. a brit. a bife, a camone) (for reasons only he himself is guilty of also) and knows way more than hes letting on. and, mad scientist rants aside, would probably... eventually... be straightfoward with you about the lore. of course, he wont tell you everything on a first run, you have to squeeze that fateful 'i was ordered to kill you by one of annets engineers' out of pilot then come back to engie to get the full tea spill (i am trying to romance my ex boss?!)
cancer has a 'hidden in plain sight' route since you unlock them earlier than engie and have no choice but to marry them. similar in concept to captain where you have to let go of your sanity and let them monopolize your time and affection. its like if a catgirl yandere was a hivemind alien lawyer.
annet is not romanceable in any way. engie is her one true love. any attempts will devolve into her manipulating you into death one way or another. #girlboss
mug/zero, stalky, kittyhawk, photoshop, amber, lifealope, random coworker that made you drop your sandwich, tourists, whoever else also not romanceable. because i said so. no. denied. no questions
