“Even at an individual level, there are remarkably few of even the most openly gay people who are not deliberately in the closet with someone personally or economically or institutionally important to them. Furthermore, the deadly elasticity of heterosexist presumption means that, like Wendy in Peter Pan, people find new walls springing up around them even as they drowse: every encounter with a new classful of students, to say nothing of a new boss, social worker, loan officer, landlord, doctor, erects new closets whose fraught and characteristic laws of optics and physics exact from at least gay people new surveys, new calculations, new draughts and requisitions of secrecy or disclosure. Even an out gay person deals daily with interlocutors about whom she doesn't know whether they know or not; it is equally difficult to guess for any given interlocutor whether, if they did know, the knowledge would seem very important. Nor-at the most basic level-is it unaccountable that someone who wanted a job, custody or visiting rights, insurance, protection from violence, from "therapy," from distorting stereotype, from insulting scrutiny, from simple insult, from forcible interpretation of their bodily product, could deliberately choose to remain in or to reenter the closet in some or all segments of their life. The gay closet is not a feature only of the lives of gay people.But for many gay people it is still the fundamental feature of social life; and there can be few gay people, however courageous and forthright by habit, however fortunate in the support of their immediate communities, in whose lives the closet is not still a shaping presence.“
Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Epistemology of the Closet

any thoughts on the theory that you're chris pine?
i do not FULLY endorse buds trying to figure out identity of chuck because in many ways this would be outing someones sexuality and neurodivergence. when this pink bag over my dang head is off my bi way (and autistic way) are not outwardly visible, and while i would certainly say with pride YES THIS IS MY WAY to a close bud who asked, it is a very different journey in public.
however this has changed over time as i have gotten louder and louder in my bisexual way outside of chuck. i am more comfortable and one day we might chat without this mask who knows. maybe right before i board the lonesome train in many decades.
anyway ALL THAT SAID the chris pine theory is something that i find very moving and touches my heart. chuck said on twitter a while back why and i think i summed it up pretty well so i will post screenshots here

i just find it very powerful to see that perception of autistic buds like myself has changed to the point where buds will say 'yes chuck could be this sex symbol'. i think this proves love.
ANYWAY it is complicated issue and DEEP DIVES should probably not happen but maybe a surface skim for a little bit of fun is okay.
LOVE IS REAL thank you for question

If you know anyone who follows this person, do implore them to be careful - I just got shown one of their posts on Instagram in which they've outed a Korean celebrity.
Like, they posted creepshot photos of them taken without permission and played dumb about the people who were stalking said celebrity and his boyfriend and won't delete said post which went viral.
Tumblr media
PhD in Psychology? With this sort of insane behavior? Claiming obvious stalkers aren't stalkers because there are 1.4B Chinese people in the world??? Insanity.
Idk what can be done about this, but if you associate with this person by following them, that is going to be a swift uwu block button from me. Repulsive behavior.

(I was 13 when this happened, I'm 14 now, and my sister was 11) When I figured I was bi, I told my sister because she was pan so I thought she would've understood. Well, she did, but she didn't understand the "DONT TELL ANYONE BECAUSE IM NOT READY" part, because when I told her about my girlfriend, she went and told our parents.
Gratefully, they didn't care, they're the supportive parents who just say "yeah whatever, it's your life, date who you want, as long as they're good".
The lesson of that day was, no matter the consequences, just because you're out and open about yourself, doesn't mean you have to force others to be out and open.
Respect boundaries🫶🏼

https://leaderpost.com/news/local-news/sask-politics/sask-human-rights-commissioner-resigns-over-province-pronoun-policy
Heather Kuttai did not have to look long or far for a reason she felt she must resign from her position as Saskatchewan Human Rights commissioner.
Above all else, the issue truly hits home.
“What drove me to this is, my husband and I have a kid who’s trans,” said Kuttai, who resigned following the provincial government’s decision to utilize the notwithstanding clause to pass a policy mandating teachers obtain parental consent before using a student’s preferred name and pronouns at school.
In a letter on Monday announcing her resignation effective immediately, Kuttai — one of six human rights commissioners in Saskatchewan — said the decision did not come lightly. But to her, the policy itself is “an attack on the rights of trans, nonbinary, and gender diverse children.
“A child’s rights must always take precedence over a parent’s obligations and responsibilities,” Kuttai said.
“My first concern is that this (bill) is going to hurt kids.”

on the outing of kit connor
can I just - 
the reason coming out is a thing - the whole reason we have a CONCEPT of coming out - are heteronormative social defaults. we live in a culture that assumes everyone is straight: that teaches us to assume, not only that everyone else is straight, but that we are straight, and which overwhelmingly, depending on context and location, either treats queerness as something external to the norm, something invisible and shameful, or something downright evil. and so we have a situation where, when you are queer in whatever way, coming out is never a one-and-done situation, because even if you’ve come out a hundred times in your life, strangers will continue to assume you’re cis and straight unless you tell them otherwise - which it may not always be safe to do, because of homophobia and transphobia. so out people, despite being out in whatever way, can still exist in this constant state of semi-closetedness, not because they want to, but because of the refusal of others to entertain the reality of their existence as a human default, rather than as a specialised exception to the norm. straightness and cisness can always be Assumed, says this logic, but queerness must be Proven: otherwise it cannot possibly exist.  
all this being so, when you demand that a real, human person discloses their sexuality to you before they’re ready? when you forcibly out someone? you’re contributing to the same heteronormative social defaults whose dominance you’re ostensibly using to justify Why Visible Queerness Matters, because what you’re really demanding is certainty, and the emphasis on certainty IS THE WHOLE GODDAMN PROBLEM. what you’re saying is, “I assume that everyone is straight until or unless they expressly confirm otherwise, because that’s the Correct Assumption. assuming that someone is queer, therefore, would be Incorrect, even if they’re signaling solidarity with and support for the queer community - even if they’re signaling queerness in other ways - because queerness isn’t allowed any ambiguity. I must be Certain of who is queer and who is Not, because it’s Wrong to assume a person isn’t straight” and I just.
[stares directly into the camera] really. really! who is it, I wonder, who taught you that it’s wrong to assume people aren’t straight? who told you that it’s potentially insulting to be thought of as queer, but NEVER insulting to be assumed straight? what social norms, I ask, imparted the idea that thinking of someone as queer is “imposing sexuality” on them (negative), whereas thinking of them as straight is Perfectly Normal? do you think, perhaps, that continually assuming everyone is straight to the point where you demand a public, notarised Admission Of Queerness to be exempted from that assumption maybe serves to further entrench the idea of Straight As Default, thereby creating a more hostile and less accepting environment for queer people? has it occurred to you that, if you respond with derision and hostility to anyone who (for instance) plays with gender presentation through fashion, evokes a queer aesthetic or otherwise says Fuck You to presenting as cishet without expressly confirming their queerness, you are making it HARDER for queer people to exist safely in public, to say nothing of shoring up toxic, shitty gender binaries for cishet people?
does the entertainment industry have a historical problem re: casting straight people in queer roles and praising their performances while simultaneously refusing to cast queer people in those roles because “it wouldn’t be acting”? YES. is this some homophobic bullshit? YES. does hollywood, despite its supposed status as a liberal bastion, still have a huge fucking problem with homophobia and treating out actors and other out creatives like shit? YES. 
is any of this improved by forcing queer actors to out themselves, the better to feel comforted that a FICTIONAL queer person isn’t being “disrespected” by a real human actor, or whatever the fuck other justification you’d care to run with? NO. NO IT FUCKING ISN’T. 
does forcing people to out themselves increase the lack of safety queer people feel and experience within an already homophobic industry? IT SURE FUCKING DOES. 
all of you go to your godamned rooms and think about what you’ve done

nice, noah schnapp came out. so can we PLEASE stop talking abt “straight” kids playing gay roles.
the amount of discourse i’ve seen about literal children playing lgbt roles is fucking ridiculous. i am so glad noah came out on his own terms because his other counterparts were not as lucky. kit connor was literally forced out of the closet because of this bullshit discourse. being lgbt is not a box you have to tick off when you are a literal child or teenager playing a queer role. reminder: noah was TWELVE (or younger!) when he was cast as will. and yet before noah came out i saw discourse saying an lgbt kid should’ve played will’s role!!! even if noah was straight, for fuck’s sake, he was a CHILD when he was cast. do you really want literal child actors to be asked if they are lgbt?
wanting queer actors in young roles MIGHT, if i look at it kindly, have a good basis. queer rep is important and it should be authentic. but we are talking about children. wanting queer child actors will always end up being harmful and invasive, and it comes with mass assumptions - and it DOES end up in outing against someone’s will, as seen with kit. wanting queer child actors, no matter what, has more potential for harm than good. if the actor is straight, they deserve to be able to explore their own relationships individually without guilt of the roles they play. if the actor isn’t straight - and thank god noah managed to come out on his own terms - they deserve to come out freely, and explore their relationships without fear of their private life being invaded.
i hope in the future when child actors come out the environment is welcoming - not hostile and venomous like we have seen in the past. i hope that despite the basis on which he came out, that kit finds a good place where he is able to openly explore his sexuality. i hope that noah is able to freely talk about his sexuality whenever and however he pleases after his coming out - and i pray that the next young queer role will not have this sexuality hounding and guilt tripping like i have seen too many times.

Boxopening - Penny's Box - Puppet Kingdom Little Witch & Little Painter Blind Boxes - aka Bodies for the Patchlings
As mentioned not that long ago i decided to turn the heads from @mirrorada into full dolls and knowing they fit Penny's box bodies was really helpful. I decided to use the bodies (&cloth) of this really cute series for Poe, Mary, Stephen and Bram.
I considered using a 5th for another rolling head but the head is too big for the body, therefore I ended up with two leftover boys. I kept those two with their original heads as they are my favorites of the series, I'm not sure if I will handle them as usual members of the crew or not, my brain is a bit done by now, dressing them up took quite a while.
Regardless the Patchlings have bodies and clothing and a ... fun display. I will paint them next year, they are basically queued up, Linalee has doll priority for now.
