The RuPaulication of being gay. The TikTokification of being gay. Both are the same, in a way that it also feels like capitalism taking over, where you've to buy certain accessories, like certain music, watch certain shows, dress a certain way to be Gay EnoughTM, and if you do not, then you're absolutely out of the loop and are not considered gay.
There's a lot I could say about it, especially about how it's very fucking American above all and based around English second of all, and third of all, I just can't stand a lot of pop music and I'm goddamn tired of every Cis Gay Over 30 either gasping at me for not listening to Cher/Beyonce/Insert Pop Artist or Cis Gay Under 30 gasping at me for not listening to Taylor fucking Jet Fuel Swift.
I'm so tired of "gay icons" being cis women that make music videos with huge rainbows and says performative shit that has Feminism 101 written all over it. I hate that being gay is an AestheticTM now. I hate that every queer has to have a common fucking vocabulary that's native only to English-speaking, online-dwelling, TikTok-addict people. It's so infuriating to be giggled at by people because you just don't fucking care about wearing certain clothes that THEY consider gay enough.
Seriously, I fucking hate it.

hello i love ofmd but im not in the fandom (i log onto tumblr every few weeks and see some fanart but that’s the extent of it!). my partner and i loved izzy and were sad when he died but thought it made sense. i am so curious: what is the discourse about??
oh boy. i am probably not the best person to explain this, but i will try to do so very, very briefly.
since season 1, Izzy has been a controversial character in the fandom and the central point of a massive amount of discourse. others (who have actually been involved, which i wasn't) have written much better posts about this.
in any case, this resulted in a bunch of Izzy fans sort of isolating themselves from the rest of the fandom, and somehow coming to believe that Izzy was the true protagonist of the show, plus some mind-boggling headcanons, ignoring what actually happens in the show and throwing away any reasonable character analysis (again, won't go into details here). very delusional. hearing these people talk about ofmd, it felt like they were watching a completely different show than everyone else.
so when Izzy died, these people did not take it well (<- understatement). some of them spewed vile shit at the showrunner, David Jenkins, and around social media, generally throwing a tantrum. the discourse took off when allegations started coming out of it being "bury your gays" and queerbaiting (and worse) to have Izzy die, which are bizarre claims in a show with a majority of queer characters (and when every other marginalizing attribute Izzy had was shared by at least one other character, who didn't die). i keep my dash pretty curated but have seen some truly rancid takes. i suspect that it's just a small number of people being extremely loud, and algorithms promoting controversy, but it set a negative tone right after the finale. my impression is that it's largely died down by now, and there are still far more people loving the show.
just like for you and your partner, it is possible and extremely valid to be sad that a favorite character died (and yes, his death does make sense for the narrative!). but it can never justify the amount of vitriol and hate that has been thrown at real people. i'd say the discourse about Izzy's death is not due to anything the show itself did, but because it didn't magically become the made-up version that a group of people had convinced each other it was through more than a year of staying in an echo chamber.
anyway i hope this answered your question somewhat and that you and your partner continue to enjoy ofmd!!

D&D Obey me- Lucifer, Mammon, + The Twins!
@trash-opposum here you go. seperate post so people can find it but here!
Disclaimer, if i do the rest, im going to avoid making EVERYONE a tiefling or aasimar, those are just for who i think are exceptionally appropriate/is how im playing them as my current dnd character is just Belphegor. If yall want me to make the others (Asmo, Levi, Satan, maybe Diavlo but who knows) let me know!
so let's GOOOOOOOO
Lucifer
Aasimar, the kind from Mordenkainen so no special extra type
Noble background, mainly cause i cant think of anything else
As for class, we have four potential options
Two varieties of Paladin, cleric, or warlock
First paladin variety- Oathbreaker
In this case he was probably originally Devotion before the revolution, and whoops! Oath Broken!
It'd either be a point of pride for him ("I fought for what I believe is right, and there is no shame in that") or he'd hide it from everyone
Second paladin- order of the Crown! obviously because of Diavlo. fellas is it gay to swear undying devotion to your future ki- *gets shot*
Cleric, then Order Domain. clerics are sworn to gods and not demons but shush his patron might still be Diavlo. in an actual D&D setting i can see him instead swearing to like Tyr or something.
he wont be healing. clerics are tanky he's out here ordering people to drop their weapons and then fucking murdering them
Warlock, gotta be fiend patron. im not sure if its possible to be your own patron but itd be funny as shit. worse case its fiend patron with some flavor homebrew as i call it to literally just be a fiend in his own right climbing the infernal ladder as he levels up
i promise the others wont be as long
Mammon
Earth Genasi as those are descended from the Dao, which are the greediest genie. Also, they just look rich with gem-like stuff growing in cracks on their skin you just know Mammon's one of them
Charlatan background. he is scamming people left and right and it works
Rogue, thief subclass. Honestly any subclass other than Arcane Trickster (hes not smart enough) or Scout (hes not equipped for the "outside of civilization" shit)
Unlike for Lucifer, the others have Backstory! Woo!
Mammon is the son of a Dao and a human. His human parent helped him escape from the Elemental Plane of Earth, but then he was left on his own
So. He quickly learned how to con people. At first it was for survival, and then greed.
He found Lucifer while running one of these cons. In particular, his "con" was a vanishing act. He claimed he could become "one with the earth" when really he was curling up on the ground and casting Pass Without Trace. Lucifer saw through this illusion and threatened to out Mammon as a conman, unless he joined him as his ally. So, he did.
Lucifer keeps him in check, but that's not to say Mammon isn't fully on the straight and narrow
Beelzebub
Tiefling!!! variant tiefling favored to have fly wings.
Outlander background, ill explain why in a sec
Barbarian. Need I say More?
actually i will- Totem animal, spirit of the bear. Since bear gets resistance to all damage (other than psychic) while raging and i feel that works with Beel more than anything
now for his backstory! he isnt canon in the campaign im playing belphie in but his backstory has the same catalyst. When he was five years old, the kingdom he lived in was caught in a rebellion against a tyrant. In which, Beel saw his older sister get killed by a royal guard. Belphie was going to be killed- but was protected by a tiefling in a knight's armor (my previous character who was killed. rip avi)
Beel, in his five-year-old mind, just ran. He took off without a second thought- a decision he now regrets deeply.
He ran into the surrounding woodlands. And gets an Atalanta-style backstory. For those who dont know, Atalanta was a princess who was abandoned in the woods and raised by bears
So Beel is raised by bears. Which is way better than being raised by wolves
They teach him how to hunt, gather, and its all well and cute. He sometimes entered the rebuilding kingdom to trade in leftover meat for clothes and weapons- and, to try and find Belphie. No luck.
Eventually, Beel grows to be a powerful warrior. Hangry, sure, but his rage hold the rage of freaking bears. so keep him fed. please.
Anyways Lucifer and the gang (everyone minus belphie) encounter Beel in the woods, watching the cubs. Beel agrees to adventure with them. He says goodbye to bear mom and promises to visit- hopefully, with his twin, next time.
Belphegor
hehe its ME
Zariel Tiefling but i dont give a shit about the infernal legacy its just There. tail is a cow's tail he basically just looks like his demon form
Hermit background. again ill explain in a sec
Druid, circle of stars! to people about to scream "i just checked the wikidot why he no circle of dreams??" because that doesnt have to do with dreams and sleep as i wished it did. its the obligatory faewild subclass. i hate the faewild subclasses (other than the bard one that ones fun)
Currently n the campaign im in we're level 5, so his two wildshapes are wolf, and a bull. But he also has his three starry forms due to being circle of stars.
now. backstory! strap in this is Long
he's saved by my previous dnd character- Avi- and is taken in by him and his husband when the rebellion was over.
Except. due to seeing his sister die and not seeing his twin after that, Belphie assumed the worse and thought that Beel also died and he was the last one of his family
He fell into a pretty deep depression and had no motivation to do anything besides sleep, cry, and eat very tiny portions of meals.
eventually his adoptive dads start telling him stories. and. surprisingly. they seem to help! Belphie is still a shrinking violet but he eats more and can cook and do basic chores!
And Then Avi Goes Missing
His husband- Skull- asks the now 11 year old Belphie if he wants to come along to find him. Belphie declines, saying he needs to get in control of his life and some big quest is probably just gonna leave him with more trauma
Skull lets him stay home, and gives him one of his feathers. So if Belphie ever needs a hand, he can call Skull over and. well. have one of his dads at least
For five years, Belphie took to studying druidcraft, and the stars. He also enchanted his favorite pillow to float and be able to carry him. So he had a little more comfort when going out to buy groceries. He'd make detailed star maps to sell in return
When the sun rose on his 16th birthday, he left a note at home saying he felt ready to tackle his own destiny, and left.
He had a brush with Lucifer, but not Beel. so close, buddy.
Anyways he arrives at The Hunters Guild, finds his parents again, and takes residence in the observatory, where he studies his stars and druid magic again. But also, sleep and dreams.
and. yeah thats where we leave off! god that was long im sorry

I think what's extra frustrating about this whole situation is just the not knowing when or why of it. Like I know it can't go on forever but there have been so many times where it seems like we're getting somewhere (bye bye Elevator) and then bam something else hits us. I just hate it for louis
i said i wasnt going to respond to this right now but im fired up now and i am going to answer it. none of this is about coming out none of this is about larry none of it is about being gay even! it's does louis know he deserves better.
you don't want to draw attention to your actual relationship - why do you need to even speak about it? answer questions with that you'd like to keep your private life private and that's the end of it. "oh you used to be so open? yeah i was a lot younger and now ive grown up a bit and realized i want to keep it private" any one who pushes it is labeled as an asshole interviewer. publicist listening in to every single non-live on air interview and jumping in to skip questions if necessary. only do live interviews with anchors and hosts you trust and have agreed to keep it professional beforehand. get the best media training in the business and have every possible answer locked into your brain.
you don't want people to think you're gay - why not? nothing wrong with being gay. but in any case, see answer above about not wanting to talk about your personal life and then turn the answer back to the fans "im not/i don't like to talk about my personal life but what matters to me is the fans and im so honored to have fans from that community." next question
"well he needs the publicity" well he's not getting any now. the only publicity from that stunt walk was talking about how young she was, or how quickly he moved on from e. how about louis at a charity event? the gossip sites post pictures of louis with f or stories he tells but want to know what else they would post in the same way? pictures of louis with a dog. or a lizard. or a hamburger. or shirtless!
also! where is the doc promo! or tour promo! where is the exclusive with first look photos and interview with day of tickets coming out? where are the ticket specials in the cities where tour needs to be sold more (buy a tour ticket get a free movie ticket)? where are the merch bundles (buy a shirt get a movie ticket voucher)? or just merch in general? where are the radio spots and the billboards and the bus stop ads and the commercials and the social media? radio interviews in tour cities? they wouldn't do a press junket yet but! and if no one brought those up why isn't louis or his manager saying something and asking for those plans and those rollouts? and if they aren't getting those or know what to ask for why aren't they hiring people to figure out what's not working and make it happen?
you don't have to come out, you don't have to reveal your relationship, you don't have to even elude to anything. but you do deserve better treatment, better promo, a better image. privacy, kindness, fans, general population respect. what might have been the way people did it in 2013 isn't the same as 2023. but all of louis' rollouts are stuck there. once upon a time for an artist, the worst thing you could be was gay. and even if that's not the case anymore, if that's still where your head is okay. you don't have to come out. but you don't deserve to be doing this shit or putting yourself through this either.
he got out of sony, he got out of modest. he claims to be the boss so goddamn put your foot down and take a fucking stand. if there's lasting contracts or whatever get the best lawyer out there and fucking take back what you deserve. and don't fucking settle for anything less. someone on your team has an idea you don't like? too bad for them, you pay them, you make the ultimate decision. and if they don't let you or try to fuck you over, you hire someone else. and do that again and again until you get what you want. life is too freaking fucking short to not be putting yourself into the best possible situations wherever you can. louis deserves that.

Divorced dad AU okay, Adam is NOT Charlie's dad. He takes no responsibilities for her at all, he is at best a cool semi-uncle who shows up with mcdonalds sometimes cause he's buying it for his boys anyway and it's mean not to get her something, and who takes her along on trips cause the boys are absolutely her brothers (blood be damned) and adore their little sister.
But like Adam being the guy who gets a late night panicked call over Lucifer when it's Charlie and Seth and some high school party and Seth's a bit too drunk and Charlie's panicking white-girl-wasted and they can't find her friend Angel but there's some weird like college guys here and one licked her and HELP.
Mostly for the image of Adam middle of the night full on kicking down a door in angry dad mode and Lute threatening murder on people collecting these goddamn stupid ass kids that she only claims one and a half of and getting fawned over by a drunk gay boy for how pretty she is and how pretty her husband is and he's never gonna find someone who loves him like that as Charlie's crying convinced everyone hates her and Seth is so drunk he's holding onto the grass to keep from falling off the world.
reall i love this. Adam threatening the college guys (the vees, im guessing) to get the fuck away before shit gets dirty. like yes Charlie might not be related to him in any way, but he’s still her uncle and he’s gonna help her out. also Lute would just try to politely tell said drunk gay boy to fuck off.

I live in a more conservative area in the US. My family isn't, but whatever. Being LGBT was looked down upon in this area, my parents made sure to tell me it was ok and people were close minded (hell they even left the church they went to and started their own). They were great parents.
That being said the surrounding area was not. Got bullied in school for being gay, even though I simply was just focused on academics. I wanted an A more than I wanted the D am I right? Hm. It frustrated me because no one even asked and I was straight. This went on from when I was 10 to 17, when I finally graduated and got out of that area. The bullying was intense, from something as simple as name calling to having group projects turned in without my name but slurs on it to getting physically pushed around and shoved.
I went to college and met some cool people. Went to a pride parade as an ally. Started learning about different labels. Proclaimed to be demisexual with a desire for men because I still didn't really have any sexual desire and again, focused on school.
When I was 21 I moved to an entire new area for my job. Met a girl in her 30s who has a kid (12 or 13 at the time I dont remember) who came out as nonbinary and pan. Good for them! The woman was an "ally" except-
Tried forcing me to come out. Many times. Put me in secret uncomfortable situations. Some highlights of things she did were: take me to a gay bar without telling me thats where we were and then paying someone to kiss me and then kept asking if I realized I was gay because I didn't push the person away (I was shocked), after I claimed I was demisexual claimed that I had repressed my sexuality because society inherently tells you to be straight and that I was truly a lesbian, would claim I was a virgin if I never slept with a man because a woman couldn't take that so if i had "religious trauma" and wouldn't sleep with anyone based on keeping virginity i could with a woman and be fine (which I dont have any, my parents formed that church and were all inclusive and its a safe space hell they even organized pride events before the town did), and the worst of all got me drunker then I've ever been to the point I could barely stand and left me with a guy who had a crush on me who kept coming onto me. She talked to him and I saw her wink at him and she left me with this dude who got too handsy if you know what I mean. Nothing under the clothes happened thank God, and really it was my own fault for drinking so much at her place *she had many people over, I actually drank less then other people but still*. I asked why she left me with him and she said she was tired, then later said she wasn't surprised he tried anything and then said "well you're definitely gonna be gay now and not want to be with a man".
I left that area behind as my career progressed and it hit me, damn she was kinda fucked up. Kissed a few people and realized hold on I do have a sexual drive hello, and I dont have to get to know people first to have it?? Not demi then. Cool! Realised that the woman kinda fucked me up. I'm doing therapy which...is ok. But I got on Tumblr and have been on
And I've met some cool people. I've realized huh I guess a straight person doesn't think about boobs and vaginas while they get off. The dicks made sense, but the rest? And it hit me Holy shit im bi?? I think??
In my mind, being LGBT was okay but ME oh no suddenly it was the worst thing in the world. And im realizing its okay for me. Idk why I thought it wasn't except for the intense bullying. One thing that made me realize was everyone on tumblr. Like I said I met some cool people. I havent sent everyone a message because I want to be anonymous still. But you're one of the people who have helped me realize its ok. It is okay for me! So thank you for that. One of your fics really helped when I was first struggling with the realization and...thank you. It may not seem like a big thing to you, but its changed my life.
Thank you so much for sending me this. Like actually truly.
First of all, I’m so sorry for the situation with your ex friend. I can’t stand when people need to push and push to get the reaction THEY want, it sickens me deeply. Im sorry you went through that and I’m so happy you’re in therapy and that you’ve discovered yourself now.
It actually IS big to me when I hear about bisexual people accepting themselves. I don’t talk about it here much but I too grew up in a conservative area. I dropped out of school for bullying, etc but had the opposite story of knowing I was bisexual very young and not knowing how to word it? I just knew it was “bad” and I went to church a lot and I needed to repent for it. So I get that part in a warped way.
I think it gets to me for a very personal reason. There’s this inherent shake when you’ve been made to feel bad about your sexuality that resurfaces at random. I had an ex boyfriend who was obsessed with my sexuality in the opposite way. He was abusive and thought I was cheating constantly with my best friend, would call me a d*ke and a f*g constantly (almost always before some sort of physical abuse) and I was just deeply ashamed of my self, to the point of being biphobic at points.
What I’m getting at here is I came out after we broke up and I expected it to be this dawn of time shit because my family is accepting too! And I remember my mom getting upset and going, “Are you sure this isn’t about your breakup? Are you okay?” And I kind of just wanted to fucking scream. Or the way family members treat it like I’m divulging some sort of sexual secret. My sister coming out as bi years later really helped me. Dating someone who both did not care and didn’t want to sexualize me made it better.
In between all that, I ended up dating a girl who I could tell from the get go doesn’t see me (still now as friends) as “gay enough”. None of my struggle or my problems are the same, none of my fears are warranted, etc. that’s fine. I don’t need suffering to know who I am. What I’m trying to get at is even after years there are still tiny things that eat away at me but I’ve learned coping skills and developed friendships that make me feel so much better. And hearing stories from other people helps so much too. So thank you for telling me yours, it means a lot to me. I know you weren’t asking for a wordy response but I just woke up and I’m a sensitive bitch 😂
I’m sorry for the things you’ve gone through and I wish the world had been kinder to a young you. I’m glad you’re better now and if you ever need to message someone (if you ever choose to not be anon) I’m around ☺️💕

This might be a dumb question, but what's wrong with the people who headcanon Crissy as a lesbian or Eddie as gay? (Talking about your latest post). I swear I don't mean this in a rude way
I personally head canon almost everyone without explicitly stated sexualities as bi because that's what I am and that's what I relate with. I haven't seen the latest (I'm not sure what it is exactly, a book I think?) About Eddie and his past, but I was just confused about your post.
I swear I'm not trying to come off as rude and give you anon hate, I just like looking at your posts and reblogs and don't want you to block me if I end up coming off as rude. If I do I'm really really sorry, I'm genuinely curious about why you think those headcanon are a red flag
no youre totally fine lol
its not the headcanons themselves thats a red flag. like i dont give a fuck if you think characters are gay or lesbian thats not the issue. what triggers a red flag in my brain about those particular sexualities for those characters is the st*ddie of it all and how that side of the fandom cannot be normal about those (or any) characters. ESPECIALLY when when you have eddie and chrissy being flirty on screen, you have grace and joe confirming as much, eddie dedicates his big hero moment to chrissy...and people wanna claim theyre gay/lesbian. its suspicious. i think grace has even come out and said she headcanons chrissy as bi. and like obviously actors headcanons dont equate canon (unless they explicitly say thats how they were playing a certain scene, like i think joe said he played his scene with grace in the forest as more flirty than it was written? dont quote me on that im not keeping up with these people lmao)
also the way that its like... wanting your faves to be gay, i get that. i also headcanon a lot of my fave characters as bi (because they be actin bi but thats besides the point! lmao). but ive also never fucked with labeling characters as gay/lesbian when they have established love interests of the opposite sex in a show. chrissy got herself a boyfriend AND whatever the fuck is going on with eddie, so to sit there and be like "shes a lesbian!" ... just say its because yall are looking for a reason to make st*ddie more plausible in your heads
and the crazy thing is none of this is even real! like yall do not need to be doing these backward jumps and gymnastics just ship your ship damn
after the shit show that happened after season 4? i trust no bitch. everything got a fishy smell to it

i'm talking to a beloved friend about how upsetting the whole "bi lesbian" business is to me as a lesbian, but he believes that labels aren't important, that it isn't really hurting anyone, that people should live and let live, that this stuff divides the community, etc., and i don't know what to say to that or how to convince him that it matters and i'm wondering if he's right. you're one of the most well-articulated blogs i know, so i wanted to ask what you think (unless it's too upsetting/controversial of a topic). what would you say?
sorry I took a while to answer this I just never feel like i have the head space to give a decent answer!
i mmean first of all assuming your friend isn't a lesbian that's pretty rich of him to assume its his place to decide. one thing I run into a lot is people who aren't lesbians and don't understand the relationship between lesbians and men is not comparable to the relationship between gay men and women. there's complex dynamics of oppression and misogyny here but to put it very bluntly, basically every lesbian either has, or knows another lesbian who has, been sexually assaulted by a man specifically because they are a lesbian. the politics of sexual availability are just utterly incomparable between lesbians and gay men and it's frankly extremely heartless not to care about WHY lesbians can be more protective of keeping men out than gay men are with women.
secondly, ironically, it's kind of just essentialising labels to use terms like this. the words lesbian and bisexual are both super clear about what they mean. when I hear the term bi lesbian im honestly just confused because some of them mean a bi girl who prefers women, some of them mean a bi girl who somehow identifies with lesbianism politically(?), or a perjorative against lesbians who are dating trans women, and more often than that it doesn't seem to mean anything in particular and is just a useless and confusing term stuck on in front of the word "bisexual" which was already explaining the situation fine on its own. I have literally seen people using the term who were gay trans men so I mean who the fuck knows 😭😭😭 there just isn't a question being asked to which "bi lesbian" is the answer.
thirdly, there's literally only one word to describe a woman who is never attracted to men. there are so many words for sexual fluidity or whatever that it's just capricious to decide you also need the ONE which applies to us. and people claiming words don't have meaning or whatever like yes and we apply meaning to them it's how we communicate. people calling themselves bi lesbians KNOW what the word colloquially means and that's exactly why they want to use it, it literally has that appeal to them because of us 😭😭😭 but you can't be a lesbian at your core based on vibe or something. it, like every other label, is something you pick to fit to what you're already doing. like you can call yourself a lesbian all you want but if you're not Doing Lesbianism then you're just essentialising some inherent meaning to the term that doesn't exist. any meaning it has is imparted by us, lesbians, doing lesbianism, regardless of how non-lesbians feel about that!!
finally, in an appeal to emotion, I don't think people who aren't lesbians realise how cruel this shit is. being a lesbian in this patriarchal society is so deeply exhausting and traumatic and isolating and I don't think people realise how much it seeps into every interaction. people don't recognise how vulnerable we are, how small a group of the lgbt community we are, and how little we are made to feel welcome when we really need a community that accepts us for who we are & lets us be us. the fact our boundaries are afforded less concern than like someone's right to feel edgy by cosplaying as us is a case in point!! lesbians deserve some fucking peace of mind!!!
final point but it's important to say that this isn't gatekeeping because no one is stopping you from BEING a lesbian. if you want to be a woman and only date women you can ;I find it kind of funny because if you want to be a lesbian that bad then be my guest <333 we are just asking for the word to be applied accurately. like if we're all in agreement that a word doesn't define who you are then you can't like change who you are by applying an inaccurate word to it

Remember that ask you got ages about Scooby Doo? That was me im the Scooby Doo anon, everyone who says Velma is a lesbian makes me wonder how much Scooby Doo content they consumed. Like did you watch that Johnny Bravo cross over? Any of the live action movies? Mystery incorporated? HC a character as whatever but these people are fake fans, they'll argue to the ends of the earth over the sexuality of a character from a series they aren't even into. Scooby Doo was supposed to be MY autistic scene, not all these controversy seeking people The Velma show shit proving my point.
But anyway i was thinking today about how people genderbend/trans, pair characters in a close "platonic" way, or give a zillion gender identities to a character as a round about way to conserve keeping it gay because they're too scared to admit they like a straight pairing. Like you can do all of those things but its so obvious they're compensating. "It's ok to ship grimdorks now! Rose is a lesbian and June is a trans woman!!" I've even seen it with portalship going both ways, like do what you want these characters aren't real but like maybe loosen up a little too? It's not serious, they always act so weirdly defensive over it and only want you shipping characters in one way
I doubt most who claim Velma is a lesbian had seen a lot of Scooby Doo media. They may have nostalgia from the original Hana-Barbera ones when it ran on Cartoon Network/Boomerang, same for the Pup Named Scooby Doo, the Johnny Bravo one is another popular crossover, movies like Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, Ghoul School, Alien Invaders, maybe the first live-action but never the sequel, What's New Scooby Doo and Mystery Incorporated, but I doubt they have seen all the ones that include all ones that have Scrappy as the main cast, New Scooby Doo Movies (ones featuring guest stars), the Direct-to-Video specials, movies like Boo Brothers or Reluctant Werewolf, Get a Clue, and Be Cool. And that's me being nice not to include comics or series that copies the format when it was popular under the same Hana-Barbera (things like Josie and the Pussycats, Speed Buggy, Jabberjaw, etc). I always find it strange they change their mind about certain ships if one character is genderbend to make it gay/lesbian. Like it is about the sex change that defines whether they get to be together with someone. Not like chemistry or how could they get along to help one another. Doesn't help that most genderbends barely change said personalities as most fanon just keeps the same. Not really changing it up to be separate from their original counterpart. It's insane.

he loves every minute! Genuinely. He loves helping you with crafts and gets paint EVERYWHERE
probably would let you borrow some of his rings and stuff
maybe even keep some
the both of you love sharing music with one another
you find a new band? He’s probably heard of it but he’s going to act like it’s something he has no clue of just to make you feel good
You also definitely get all of your music taste from him
also just in general a grunge aesthetic
you weren’t exactly normal going into highschool but you also weren’t on his level
you let him in on ALL the gossip. he loves it
y’all have probably gone camping at least once or twice together just cuz
he’ll tell you stories about campaigns he held before yours and oh my god are the stories so entertaining
he’ll also tell you stories about his concerts and shit, like if any fights broke out from the drunk dudes lol
speaking of concerts…
he probably taught you how to play guitar
and if you knew how to already he’d teach you on how to improve
actually asks you to play with the band at one point
mainly just a simple line from a song or two but every moment is so amazing
one day you ask him if he could do your hair like his
if you have short hair oh my god did you look silly
if you have long hair he loved it
you had to tell him to stop using so much heat on ur hair or else ur hair was going to get badly heat damaged
he just ended up using copious amounts of hairspray in the end
You found him high one day and all he could do was tell you to not do drugs or whatever to be a good influence
you listened for the most part but that isn’t to say you didn’t dabble at least once or twice
did you tell him?
no…
-t directly? you let it slip out once though
he wasn’t really mad he was just curious of your experience and kind of concerned because of how young he is
also where the hell did you get it from????
that’s another question for another day
you know how eddies uncle has a lot of mugs?
eddie probably has some stashed away in his room
he eventually gives you one as a birthday present and you understand the meaning to this.
officially adopted by Eddie Munson
ok back on topic
he definitely at least attempts to get you to wear a leather jacket but you reject, claiming “it’d be too hot”
he says fine, but you’re missing out
over all he takes good care of you. good older brother figure and you wouldn’t trade him for the worldl
Tumblr media
anxiety has kind of been soothed I guess. eddie munson brother true.
FUCKING FRANKIE GRANDE ON SPREE??AND THE GUMMY BEAR SONG WHILE HE HITS A DUDE WITH HIS CAR OH MY FUCKING GOD. new favorite movie

Ok so i want to ask a genuine question here, i am being as sincere as i can and im wondering what the answer to this may be:
In what world, is siding with nazis and fascists a normal thing to do when upset about a group? (In this case trans people). In what way does siding with genocidal monsters make sense when you're "enemy" are people who just want to be treated with baseline human respect?
I mean look at Rowling, she's gone and sided with matt walsh, a literal self proclaimed fascist, the organization he's apart of is spewing genocidal rhetoric, hell they defended kanye while he was being openly antisemitic.
I just wonder why theres never any introspection here, surely you must be aware that what you want will lead to genocide. Surely the knowledge that your beliefs are shared by people who want you dead as well should be some kind of giveaway shouldnt it?
(I was going to anon this but fuck it ig, i dont much care this has been on my mind for a bit now)
Damn, you're obsessed, aren't you? You just can't handle women disagreeing with you and try to guilt-trip them and act like you're oppressed for being a GNC male with a fetish when everyone is now kissing the asses of you people and you get more protection than actual women do. You think people disgreeing with your lifestyle means they want you dead? Oh please. Spare me the tired old narcisstic whining. At least more people are waking up slowly but surely because of the nonsense going on, lately, with so-called "transwomen" and their activists. I think people should be able to defend themselves from violent misogynistic males regardless of their "gender identity". If they're going to prey on and threaten women, then they deserve the consequences. If they're going to attack gay men and lesbians for their same-sex attraction or try to force them to have sex with them, they deserve the consequences. Being "trans" shouldn't be a free pass to get away with shit, but it is, now. "Transwomen", especially violent ones like sex offenders, don't belong in women's prisons.
I bet you can't even cite any of those claims. J.K. Rowling never said she hated trans people and said she accepts them, but not predatory transwomen and that she thinks their female rape victims shouldn't be forced to address them as female. Everyone who claims she hates trans people in general can't actually give any proof.
I've already shown you how conservatism aligns with trans identites, but you ignore and keep deflecting to protect your misogynistic porn brain rot fetish, Mr. "horn-meister demon trans lady" (BTW, "meister" is masculine). Go bother someone else. 🖕

Good evening absolutely no one. Today's pics are from me after swimming for a while cause I am currently on a half weights half swimming split cause I need to improve my cardio and also not be so fat. I don't like these pics but I had to take something yknow. Today was pretty bad. Started off sucking by me waking up to someone thirsting over my pics on twitter and my gay friend decided it was their initiative to very grossly "claim" me and objectify me hard as hell. At first I was just gonna ignore it but it kept bothering me so I just dm'ed them and told them to never do some shit like that again. I should've known that they would make it about them and how they were "so distraught they made me uncomfortable" and literally tried making me console them at one point. I basically just told them to get over themselves. Shit like this really reassures my belief that I'll never be in love or a relationship again. People just disgust me honestly. Especially adding to how gross this was is that I had told them how I disliked that it's really difficult for me to ever make any kind of genuine connection with anyone cause most people just see me as an object or piece of meat. Anyways. I been pretty dead set on moving back to America. I don't know if anything could really change my mind at this point. Life out here just kinda sucks especially with school n everything. It's impossible to meet people and when you do it's all very surface level no one really wants to know each other. Don't get me wrong I recognize that I'm a fucking loser but still. The main two places I'm considering moving to are La and New York. I don't really wanna move anywhere else at the moment. There's plenty of positives and negatives to both but I just don't know. New York is more expensive and I wouldn't get paid as much to firefight but supposedly the people are more down to earth and it's easier to meet people. La is cheaper and I would be paid more to firefight but I would absolutely need a car no question and apparently, the people are more self-absorbed which makes sense cause LA is where you go to get famous. First thing I gotta do once I get there is get my driver's license since I need that to begin fire school. Might live in Arizona with bubbles while I do that, might live with my parents idk. My mental state is slowly slipping again it is very concerning to me. The first thing I need to do when I get back to the States is go to therapy I'll tell you that much. Same old "I'm a failure/ex gf/death race/loser" depression bullshit. Whatever I guess. Doesn't help that I can't rest. Im sleeping but I keep waking up like 3-4x throughout the night and I wake up feeling just as tired. I mean hey at least I'm not dreaming of my ex again. Knock on wood tho cause with how my mental state is it's just a matter of time. Anyways

Its real cool when you stop enjoying smthn because of the bullshit surrounding the other people who enjoy said thing
#this is mostly abt kpop but it can apply to other stuff as well#im just incredibly tired of the fans who ship either themselves with the people in the band or claim that any interaction is 'PROOF'#that theyre in a relationship#this is mostly targeted towards male kpop idols from girls who sexualize gay men#its a complete devaluation of the actual work these artists are putting into what they're making#many of the artists are using their voices to bring recognition to a wide variety of issues surrounding not just their field but globally#from mental health. the diets they get put on. anti asian hate to the blatant racism they and other poc experience in the music industry#all of that goes basically in the trash because of the fans that want to treat them like pretty dolls to play with or objects to thirst over#and its such bullshit#i cant tell you the sheer amount of different tags ive blocked just to try to keep out of that side of the fanbase#but no matter what theres always some new tag or they just dont tag it at all#and im honestly just- so tired of it#the whole kpoppie thing groups in people who dont want to participate in that shit- including myself#all i want is to listen to good music and to people trying to do good things with the platform they've been given#but do i want to risk being grouped with the kinds of people who are just- extremely disgusting? no#so i started to unfollow and avoid all things related to kpop in general#maybe im just being over dramatic- i dunno#im not that kind of person so to be dragged into it because i enjoy music in a different language just feels shitty#im just being dumb or something ig#pedigree rants#pedigree rambles#personal rant

im sure the actual plot of trespasser is interesting but im just hyped for this exalted council because it has the potential to address some of my main concerns with the inquisition as a whole
ive always felt very weird going around the world ‘claiming’ castles and landmarks for the inquisition, everyone seems to expect me to go into this council trying to save the inquisition but like.. as long as the rifts are gone then why do we need to exist?? hell yeah arl teagan im with you, we’ve just walked into your land, claimed shit, and established an incredibly powerful army right on your border. you can have it all back!!!!
why cant we just establish a research institute or something? ferelden and orlais can take their portions of the troops back and we can come together and consult on other matters if we need to. ive always been against the inquisition doing anything other than fixing the whole corypheus situation so now that we’ve done that we can wrap it up!!
#ash plays dai#ash plays da#personal#this isnt even my bias for ferelden over orlais; we dont need to exist anymore please can we just disband#the first interrogation question like 'you claimed this castle' and i had no option to say 'here have it back we dont need it'#the landmark stuff made me feel the worst. like using anything other than terms like 'claimed for the inquisition' would have been better#we dont own this shit. why couldnt we just put a marker saying we were researching it or something? why were we claiming them???????#i want arl teagan to destroy me; not in any weird way that people on tumblr mean when they say that; just win the argument PLEASE#hopefully we can arrange something like keeping skyhold but just getting rid of the army. i dont need cullen he should go and see his family#even if we dont get skyhold we could relocate to like..........kirkwall or something. im very welcome there and it's also closer to tevinter#i dont really want to move to tevinter but i can easily pop over to visit dorian if im in the free marches#i know hawke randomly 'disappeared' after going to weisshaupt but my headcanon is always that he returned to be an advisor#so the gang can all reunite in kirkwall or something idk. all my characters just wanna settle down and be gay and research shit#disbanding the inquisition is ideal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i am glad i got the option to say that to mother giselle. that was such a great chat with her#she was like 'sorry i misjudged dorian' and i was like 'youre right that the inquisition has had its time' hell yeah#thanks for being like..the one chill religious person in this game.#to be fair leliana was good too; she got elected as divine and abolished the circles good#my main regret in the entire game is that i failed to soften her. very depressed about that. huge moral failing on my part :(

Idk if its just me but I feel that the backlash against OFMD was not enough. Like everyone here is so LOUD about LGBTQ issues and other issues plaguing people but they legitimately dont boost voices or concerns when it xomes to black people. Specifically.
Im brown and I dont live in the US, but Ive heard and read enough to know that white people and many poc too, just dont give racism the attention it deserves.
And I wanted to ask if you think Im right in feeling angry or am i over reacting because I just dont feel okay with how easily the shows creators' reasoning was just accepted by the majority of blogs on here, where he explained how they were rewriting stories and changing the narratives or whatever. There were many ways to go about making shows and choosing two slavers to do it was absolutely the worst possible take.
No you're 100% right anon, what nonBlack PoC and white gays like to do is pretend that anything that gets Black people upset is "worth it". They're fine if their über queer gay rep is in the form of rehabilitated white supremacists because they have no empathy for Black people and no understanding of just how bad slavery was. Kidnapped Africans were raped, abused, killed for fun, and even eaten by white people because white supremacy was (and is) just that violent and destructive. Environments were permanently changed, genetic maps were permanently changed, there's millions of descendants of indigenous Africans in diaspora now across North America, the Caribbean, and South America (as well as other places) because of slavery. Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard contributed to that.
But if there's one thing white queer people and nonBlack PoC (whether queer or not) have shown themselves to be, it's incredibly callous, self centered, and dismissive of what Black people say about antiBlackness. NonBlack gays would have dumped this show in a heartbeat if there was any homophobia, transphobia, or acephobia. If Stede Bonnet or Blackbeard were notoriously homophobic and turned into an uwu tenderqueer couple, they'd be up in arms and trying to get the show cancelled. When Black people say to stop making white supremacists relatable, we get patronizing and irrelevant remarks about how All Pirates Are Evil, as if theft and human trafficking are the same thing. We get false platitudes about how they're ~thinking critically~, as if they don't end up just watching and talking about and supporting the show anyways.
You know, the Chicago tribune published a review for OFMD and the racism it's predicted on, and there were nonBlack gays who's heads were so far up fandoms ass that they easily convinced themselves that this review didn't come to exist because of a genuine desire by the author to talk about the racism inherent in this show, but because it was Big Cishet Media lashing out against one of the only positive representations of healthy gays. No matter what, nonBlack gay people will make themselves the victim before even remotely respecting Black people's perspectives. I can't even begin to tell you how many of these people claim to support Black Lives Matter while also gaslighting the shit out of Black people, making us seem like we're uneducated idiots for expecting a comedy to teach us about pirates, making us seem like we're being unfair and even homophobic for wanting this show to not be a racist pile of trash, and pretending like Taika Waititi doesn't already have a history of antiBlackness going back years now that keeps popping up in his projects.
These people are 100% okay with their happy healthy gay media being about white supremacists. I have zero sympathy or patience for people who gush about that show.
