the new norm of studios not only cancelling shows with diverse casts and characters after a single shortened season but then immediately removing them entirely from their platforms so no one can ever legally watch them again is gross and frustrating enough on its own, but there’s something really insidious about the fact that so many of these shows were the recipients of targeted hate campaigns before they even aired just because they were deemed to be “too woke” or “too gay” and how that plays into the larger sociopolitical landscape rn.
like tv shows are not nearly as important as the very real actual human people being hurt and affected by current and proposed legislation, but we as a community and as individuals are being told on all fronts that we can’t exist; not in real life, and not even in the escapist fantasy of television shows

if i get a nickle every time the witcher tv show stopped the gays from running away together, i'd have two nickles. it's not a lot of nickles and it's not weird, but it has happened twice now and i don't know if i can take it a third time.

I stand by that tag but in all fairness that was definitely the one I shoulda gotten my ass beat over 😅

apprecia-tit-on
TK bites at the top of Carlos' left pec, muffling soft moans into his skin as Carlos fucks into him. The right side is covered by his husband's hand, blunt nails digging in almost viciously.
Carlos’ chest has been bruised for weeks at this point- the second one mark fades, TK is replacing it with another. Every time the heavy fabric of his vest rubs against a bruise, he winces, and he's fairly certain his co-workers are starting to notice. He's barely even allowed to wear a shirt at home- every time he tries, TK looks like a dog whose bone was stolen. Even when he does manage to put a shirt on, TK still pulls at his nipples, or squeezes his pecs, or even just stares.
He's always either sucking, biting, licking, staring at, squeezing, poking, or resting his head on Carlos' chest. And, frankly, Carlos is a bit worried that he'll never be able to put on a shirt without wincing again.
Not, of course, that Carlos doesn't enjoy his husband's obsession. Anything that has TK dragging him into bed, shoving him against a wall, or otherwise demanding immediate fucking is positive in his books, even if his dick is sometimes a bit worn out from how often he's been coming lately.

seeing a lot of posts making me think about it lately but i think its really important to note when you consider the ways that you accept and support the queer/lgbtq community that its critical, if you want to do a well founded and strong job of it, absolutely CRITICAL to diversify that
i know theres a lot going on right now thats noisy, and scary, and it feels overwhelming and sometimes that pressure is good at encouraging infighting or picking teams or whatnot
but like... i dont know man. step back and relax a little bit. dont engage with the live wire. go... read some stories. read or watch some history, enjoy some queer entertainment.
google terminology. watch something about the AIDS pandemic. see top ten queer artist lists and pick a few to learn more about. look at the wiki for the lavender scare. watch some musicals, learn about theater history. about drag. the holocaust, and how much they cared about whether you were gay, autistic, or jewish, and why its so important to remember who your real fight is with.
not even all at once. just throw some crumbs in with whatever else youre doing, or youre interested in. tidbits. find happy things. find mundane things. find infuriating things. find combinations, confusing things. diversify. grow yourself. give yourself time and tools in bounds. much to learn every day.

hi so so sorry if this sounds genuinely deranged but I need to know did you write a fanfiction in like 2014 that was set during ww2 where zoro from one piece was sent to a japanese internment camp and sanji went to conversion therapy I remembered it recently because it blew my mind at age 13 and I had to reread it + need a kind of where are they now with the author so if that's you 1) what's your stance on the fic today 2) how much of the research was done during writing and how much did you just know beforehand and used as inspo 3) did you have any ideas for where the other characters ended up because I did always wonder if like idk chopper overcame the trauma of being in the war and also just what usopp's situation would be in general what with the political climate. once again. if you didn't actually write this fic so sorry this must look like the ravings of a crazy person. godspeed
Hi. Uh, yeah I did write that fic. I would have been like only 17 at the time. I did do A LOT of research, like the fic was basically an excuse for me to research Japanese internment and WWII history in general bc I thought it was super fucked up. I was absolutely hyperfixated on the topic and my parents probably thought i was nuts for my ability to talk at length on this particular area of history. I just finished skim reading back through the fic and woof. What a bleak fucking story. I was very cruel to everyone. It's frustrating bc I think it's an interesting and compelling idea for a story. But to me it feels like: here is all the research I did and also characters talking in what feels like a too modern way. Plus, I was 17 and didnt understand people very well. I wish I had the energy and motivation to rewrite it. Although, I forgot I used to do song lyrics at the start of each chapter and the tonal dissonance of Owl City lyrics at the top of a chapter of harrowing events around the time of WWII is unfathomablly unhinged.
