no goodbyes— just see you later 🍂🌕

I’ve been seeing a lot of people shit on straight couples in shipping and in general as a "joke" lately, particularly in the Dungeon Meshi fandom. Friendly reminder that, besides the evil straights, when you mock or put down straight couples for being straight/"not queer enough", you also make bi and pan people, and trans and ace people who experience hetero attraction feel unwelcome and lesser. Negativity hurts, love is love, happy valentine’s!

tumblr algorithm stop feeding me takes that this show is just a silly goofy comedy that shouldn’t include death or that Izzy is the token disabled elder queer on the show where an actual disabled elder queer is literally the romantic lead or that Lucius and Pete being called “mateys” is diluting their gayness because it’s not “husbands” or that it’s sexist that Zheng lost her fleet and later prioritized her love for a man or that Ed is Izzy’s abuser because we conveniently forgot all of season 1 or that trauma is never followed through with because sometimes actions are used instead of words or that Ed learned nothing because the inn was apparently a whim as if he hasn’t been obsessing over retirement from day 1 I swear did we even watch the same show?? I literally feel like I’m in backwards land?

I have a really novel concept for y’all complaining about character’s arcs not being fully resolved or healed and that’s called there is supposed to be another season of this show

I also have another really novel concept as to why every single character did not have a one on one trauma apology session and so much time was spent on Ed and Stede and that is because this is literally the Ed and Stede show and also sometimes parallels are meant to be inferred and extrapolated because that is what efficient storytelling does instead of spoonfeeding you

And my most novel concept of all as to why some beloved characters had less screen time is because Max is a massive jerk and cut the budget

Y’all this wasn’t personal and maybe this show was never about Izzy maybe the show called our flag means death is actually about death maybe sad does not equal homophobic letdown maybe the brown gay character introduced as the love interest from day 1 gets to outlive the angry white guy that had a redemption arc after actively bullying and trying to break up every gay couple for a season I don’t know what to tell you just can you please let non-white people have this arc for once without assuming it’s an attack on you I’m BEGGING y’all

*sadly reads lesbian smut on ao3*

you can’t bury your gays in a show where everybody is gay

Hey let’s play a game it’s called “let these characters go to therapy please and thank you” it’s really fun

what if will knew how to load a gun in s1 because as a kid he thought it’d make his dad like him more.

what if will saw his dad take jonathan out hunting because it would “make him more of a man” and will thought that if he learned how to shoot a gun too, maybe his dad would finally stop calling him those names. that maybe, just maybe, it would be enough for lonnie to love him.

joyce literally said that lonnie used to call him a queer and a f*g. lonnie was an abusive, terrible father, and it’s not that far of a reach to say that little baby will byers, who has always felt like a mistake for being gay, taught himself to shoot a gun at 10-12 years old so that his father would be proud.

Everyone needs to know the image in my head that’s been there all morning.

It’s after Kerry died, shot during a signing, V curled up in the middle of the floor on the first floor of the Villa. He does not have it in him to get up and go to the guest bedroom because he wants to be in his bed, and if he can’t get up there he’s not sleeping anywhere else. Then warmth surrounds him, and his head is picked up off the floor, the smell of cologne and vanilla surround him. There’s an argument going on above him but a hand has covered his ear so he can’t here it, and even if it wasn’t, he probably still couldn’t hear it, too lost in whoever was holding him to care. He knew who was holding him, and he had an idea of who was arguing above him. He hears a faint, ‘fucking drop it, Johnny. He needs rest.’ Before the hand strokes his cheek and rests around him. Kerry is the only person who ever held him like he was glass, like he was Kerry’s favorite gem in a vault. He looks up, met with a younger looking Kerry looking down at him. “Hey pretty boy, you’re okay. Everything is gonna be okay, you sleep.” V thinks he’s said something about not wanting to sleep, about wanting to go with them. He just gets a kiss and a promise, that Kerry would fight his nightmares away while he slept.

this is what happened and no one can convince me otherwise <3

If you wanna be sad. Dancing With Your Ghost by Sasha Alex Sloan to the tune of shanmary. 🥲

i’m never going to be normal about the way mary looks at ava when they finally meet. the way she runs from Cat’s Cradle on her quest for vengeance because she knows she’ll end up looking at ghosts. empty beds and the faint smell of turpentine and all the absences a person creates when they disappear.

& it’s true that losing someone makes you aware of how much larger we are than our bodies. shannon in the shape of a look thrown sideways when beatrice and lilith are bickering, a smirk as the eucharist melts on the tongue, a thumb claiming a smudge of engine grease up off mary’s cheek, a mouth making the shape of a name

Disney: *puts out tons of movies where princesses younger than me get swept away by men that are older than me*

Disney: *puts out tons of shows where girls my age have the ultimate boyfriend and they love each other*

Disney: *promotes good and bad love in a heterosexual manner*

Parents: Aw, how nice

Me: Cool, but I’m gay, even after growing up on hyper-hetero plots. Plus I don’t like that I’m gay cause I think there’s something wrong with me! I mean, there aren’t gay people on tv so…

Disney: *puts a gay person on t-cancels the show*

Disney: *first gay Disney cha-first gay Disney charact-hey look here’s our first gay Disney character*

Me: What?

Disney: *puts out actual content for queer people (probably against the companies will tbh)*

Me: Oh, hey! That’s better! I think that’s so cool.

Parents: Never in my entire life would I have ever thought Disney would become so dark! And indoctrinate our kids into that homo nightmare! How dare a man buy pads?! And girls kiss?!?! Outrageous. They’re trying to turn our kids gay!

Everyone with common sense and a general understanding of human psychology or who isn’t an ignorant butthole tbh: 🤨

Gonna vent for a second.

Since 2018 I wished I could update my comic regularly and I knew that I would be more popular if I did, but I had school to deal with and I couldn’t keep up.

But now that I’m graduated I’m finally updating regularly and hghhifdvjdfhdf people have only been UNFOLLOWING my comic. I’ve lost like over 200 subscribers since I started updating frequently. What what what what am I doing wrong. Why why why.
