What bothers me abt saltburn has nothing to do with the shock value scenes or the gore because neither of which were particularly singular. Shameless had a very similar grave scene and no one lost their shit over that so- But I digress. What bothers me is that after Felix dies the story completely falls apart. When he is alive the story is clearly Ollie's obsession with Felix and the undying loyalty that is built on delusion. This makes sense. This is a story that you can clearly see play out. But with Ollie still continuing to obsess over Saltburn and scheme his way back into the house, playing the longest of long games almost to get there, it feels like he wasnt even obsessed with Felix so much as the house??? Which makes no sense??? The story collapses in on itself because the authors didnt want to write a compelling movie, they wanted to freak everyone out. Which they failed in. The only particularly disturbing scene as far as I was aware was the bathtub scene and even still Im pretty sure there are about 1000000 others out there like it. The movie was bad. I wish it wasnt because it would have been really cool to see it live up to the hype it got.

*feel free to not post if you don't want to start issues 💜*
i really do want to be nice bc feeling excluded is a real thing and it sucks, and i'm hoping that this anon is actually being genuine
but hearing cishets whine (sorry but it sounds like that) about not being included in queer spaces is beyond hilarious and annoying
As a straight ARMY if Jikook (hypothetically) would ever admit they are, or were a thing, I would at once be happy for them, but at the same time get a bit jealous, coz then queer ARMY would try to gate keep them like anything.
Queer fans can be rather possessive about queer celebs I have seen. I kinda get why they would, but still..
bts has always been for for anyone and everyone, but ok 🙃🙃
i'm hoping you mean that queer army would make liking bts/jikook a "queer only" thing and not us (queer armys) protecting them when they live in a conservative HOMOPHOBIC country where they can get thrown in prison for having same sex relations during military enlistment, being an "issue".... pls tell me that's what you mean 😐
bc having to deal with kpop stans and armys (yes some of y'all are fcking disgusting pos) being homophobic and transphobic towards jimin is already hard enough while he's closeted (if he's queer/bi), i don't even want to think of how bad it'll be if/when he comes out, especially adding in the locals and gp (and when jimin is literally south korea's sweetheart....)
then with the amount of "straightkookers" and y/ns, if jk is queer/gay it's going to be BAD
and if jikook are actually dating.....
also considering we've literally just had to report and email to protect the members (jimin especially) about people being homophobic and using their (bts') country's outdated and horrible laws for enlistment to harm or hurt the members, kinda want you to stfu
Queer ARMY already say BTS just for girls, gays and theys and they are mostly joking. But if Jikook or any BTS member for that matter were to come out officially, these wont be jokes.
y'all are allowed to make thousands of straight ("his wife/girlfriend") jokes about the members, but god forbid queer people have fun
and i'm sorry but YOU (anon) are the majority here, yet you're scared queer fans are going to "bully out" the straight fans 😭😭
BTS, especially the members who come out wont be considered as those with universal appeal, but be promoted, touted as queer icons instead.
as they should 😌
also plenty of queer celebs and artists are still loved by cishet fans
Straight fans who now participate as ARMY equally with non het fans, would now become "guests in a queer space/fandom)".
EQUALLY????
the amount of times i've been attacked bc i suggest a member might be queer (not even shipping related btw), the multiple stupid ass debates surrounding like crazy, face, seven, 3D, standing next to you, and golden, and the dumbass opinions during jimin's photo folio
also queer people are "guests" in real life already
Our opinion on their style, music choice, career trajectory would be shut down as #hetopinionnotvalid.
i mean if the topic is about queer topics or issues, then letting queer people speak on that is basic human decency imo
y'all let (or you should be 🤨) poc, women, ect speak on issues that they're affected by when bts does something related to those issues, so let queer people do the same 😞
Straight BTS fans would then be likened to straight women who go to gay clubs, as interlopers who are encroaching something that doesnt belong to them.
y'all want to be oppressed so bad 💀💀
it's MUSIC, just have fun and be respectful
"Yall want to be oppressed so bad"
*cosigned* thanks for dropping in anon

Never understood why you drew shippy bob/calvin stuff until the newest april fools ep oh my godddd what the fuck was all that OH MY GODDDDDDD
ill admit that ive had yaoi brainrot for most of my life (turned out i was just a gay man) but they have a surprising amount for a show like this! the waterballoon and wharf horse eps especially and a few pretty blunt jokes about them finding each other attractive. makes me insane.....tbh i should make a compilation if theres not one out there...........
but yeah the april fools one was???? i know i made a joke about them kissing on screen but now i think it might actually happen someday (completely delusional voice)
at least a joke kiss like..... "oh quick bob we gotta make out so we dont look suspicious!!"
"wont people think two old men making out is a little suspicious??"
"......you're not homophobic are you bob?"
"what?!? no!! you KNOW im bi!!!"

"anyway, go ahead and post your screenshots, like i give a fuck. i never said anything in that server that i don't stand by still, and i certainly never harassed anyone. while you're doing that, maybe go outside and touch some grass. like, seriously. live your life outside in the real world like a normal person and you might realize that nobody gives a flying fuck about your internet temper tantrums."
This is just Peak ironic and hypocrisy of you and your friends given what they were doing in there but I'm sorry that you just want to sweep everything underneath the rug and act like you're forgiven or have Redemption now when you haven't done anything to become a better person lol lmfao even.
It's super duper funny to watching you try to take the high road here 😂 but just know people know the real you twerp
2) Rules for the not we must be very strong motto with you too 😂 But again it's so crazy how you just lied and then immediately resended that lie and tried to wiggle your way out, you want to talk about being racist or sexist or homophobic but wait till the screenshots come out and I'll tag everything appropriately there for you and see how your friend still feel about you but deep down you haven't changed and wont change just like your creepy pals that were in there with you haven't stopped or changed as well but I'm going to guess that you just conveniently avoided all that somehow huh 3) You were so upset over hominis and his wife both racist sexist garbage people 🤡 enjoy your side show clowns ya freakshow 😂 Karma will see to you, don't worry ugly. 4) Awe you're upset of cisnowflake too another horrible sexist racist loser? For all your projecting and positioning you try to do on your page you're still just the same person you have been 2 years ago and even further back because no matter where you go or what you do you are still you Paige and your true colors will bleed back through and you can't change the hate in your heart anymore than you can change how retarded, ironic and hypocritical you are 😂 Cuz again I don't see you renouncing your friends Behavior or what they did or your part in it you're just mad because I'm here calling you out about it while you're trying to save face. I mean again if you truly moved on and are turning this new page relief you could have just apologized or said you know what that situation was horrible but no you double down back to like you always do and will again. Garbage person, simple ass 🤷‍♂️ 5)Again it's just funny you go from you weren't in any kind of Discord doing harassment or talking shit about people you dont even know and then you admit that you were in there and you stand by everything that you said but then say you've changed and its others problems what you did and caused. Yup that's the way to have integrity and maturity and to get to the next level of being a better person for sure just sleeping everything underneath the rug and flipping everybody off in the process. I hope your life is as "pleasant" as you have been.
I go to bed and then go to work and come back to this word vomit... You might actually be more deranged than the chick from the FMA fandom who was tweaking out about me supposedly being a transphobe. I'm legitimately impressed by your dedication. Honest.
So anyway, this is really funny, I guess since you're on anon like a spineless worm, you're giving me the liberty of having the last word, because I certainly won't be answering any more asks from your crazy ass after this lol
I am friends with very few people in that server. The people who are/were in there at the time that I was also using the server were acquaintances at most, with the vast majority being strangers I'd never met. I never once participated in harassing or being hateful towards anyone while I was using that server. As I said, post your screenshots if it will make you feel big and cool. I do not give a fuck. It's not like I'm going to waste my time looking at whatever "evidence" you think you have on me.
I didn't lie. I said I don't use servers, which is true. I did not say that I've never used servers. 2+ years of not participating in any servers constitutes saying that I do not use servers. You're grasping at straws, it's pretty sad.
When was I ever upset about Hom and his wife? They can take care of themselves. This doesn't even make any sense.
This is actually just really funny. You're here on anon trying to tell me you know me well enough to know whether I've changed as a person. I have, believe me. Just not in my political opinions. I don't need to renounce anything or apologize for anything, because I am not any of the things you are accusing me of being, nor are any of the people you have brought up by name in this weird little mental breakdown you're having in my inbox.
Again, didn't lie. Didn't talk shit about anyone I don't know except for a couple of creepy-ass tumblr losers that were outright stalking a couple of my acquaintances. Perhaps you're assmad because you're one of those stalkers? Much to think about. My life is extraordinarily pleasant, yes, and getting better every single day. Thank you for the well wishes. Happy new year :)

#misogyny isn’t okay just because you don’t like somebody
but you have shielded the people that was about repeatedly.
Just soon back you were reblogging black pills and telling us, oh stupid bi women, stop getting "hung up on" being called dick worshipers, say you're identical to tims, and having your abuses discredited. Ohh fine you say, maybe she should use nicer words to say same things, but she is very right, listen to the things of real importance not your stupid little rape statistics or whatever. Of course she is not a misogynist no no, she is insightful and it is based that everyone reblogs those things. So you get annoyed at bis because they wont ignore misogyny and biphobia, you don't get annoyed at misogyny or your friends reblogging it. wau!
Then just now you get so angry bisexuals dare say we should not feel shame for any aspect of bisexuality. You pretend that post said "het relationships are oppressed by gay people" so you can move the straw man into the goal posts, but what it actually said was that bisexual people are degraded and internalize shame about OSA, even in het relationships. You ignore how first post was bisexuals telling other bisexuals, and literal example in next post was bi woman saying about herself. Yet you pretend its bisexuals forcing gay people to worship us. Reach.
Could not be that its about how people call us dick worshipers, degenerates, sex beasts without love, kink freaks without boundaries, that is bi womens fault if they get raped for being sluts, and even worse things? all that affects us, gets in our heads? But no of course saying those things is fine against a dick worshiper. Well for us is not fine, we feel pain that our fellow bisexuals internalize those things deep in their hearts and it makes them alone and afraid, only you can think that is evil and homophobic somehow. Hetero relationships are celebrated but that does not mean bisexuals or bisexuality are celebrated by heteros, the statistics on the abuse and everything prove that very much. But no of course you ignore any of that to tell us to go "touch grass" as if hetero world is peace for us. Then when the reality reveals itself and the heteros are - the gasping here! - homophobic, you are first in line to coddle the people that tell us we are playing victim and our rape and other abuse is not real compared to what homosexuals feel.
I do not think you are against misogyny, misogyny is fine against bisexuals you by how treat it. You are not getting angry at misogyny you are getting more angry at bisexuals for not putting up with it. What you are against is seeming of misogyny and only just barely.
Oh my fucking god here we go again.
I apologised. I admitted I was wrong. I meant it. And yet you still come at me like this. Honestly you’re just making it clear that I’ll never be good enough for you. If you have such an issue with me and with accepting that I’m both a human and a learning feminist meaning I will make mistakes, just block me.
This whole time I’ve disagreed with language like “dick worshippers”. I’ve made that clear and I don’t know how many times I have to do so for you to stop pretending I haven’t. And even if I was once out there yelling misogynistic language at bi women (which I was not), me reblogging the post speaking against it should make you think “good, she’s changed”, not “ooo let me tell her off for reblogging a post about the issue I want her to address”???? Talk about not leaving room for growth.
The post you’re referring to…I EXPLICITLY STATED I DISAGREED WITH WHAT YOU ARE MENTIONING. Because I am able to read a text critically, I took the good bits which were the criticism of lesbophobia from bi women (and tbh I think you probably take issue with this too, because how dare we talk about anything other than uwu wlw solidarity), and acknowledged it wasn’t perfect. One of the first things I pointed out in my reblog was that I disagreed with saying bi women and TIMs were the same, so you acting like I agree with that is either you ignoring what I said, or being intentionally obtuse.
I agree bisexuals shouldn’t feel any shame for being bisexual. I also agree that a lot of bisexuals get hilariously pissy when gay people don’t give a shit about their OSA and opposite sex relationships. Tbh I’m actually not sure what specific post you’re talking about here because just tonight I’ve seen so many posts where OSA people cry about their het relationships not being seen as “queer” or “gay enough” or some shit. But look, I don’t believe anyone can truly feel shame regarding OSA, because the whole fucking world celebrates and encourages OSA. And I don’t think any homosexual needs to give even an ounce of compassion to OSA people crying to us about how much they don’t like being OSA, because we’re too busy focusing on the victims of homophobia (before you get angrier with me, I’m talking about both gay and bi victims of homophobia).
If you want to talk about the negative stereotypes about bisexuals, or the degrading language used to discuss specifically bisexual women, then talk about that! I’ll support you! But you can do that without making it about how it’s so so hard to be OSA. Idk maybe you’re talking about some post I’ve forgotten about that I misinterpreted and it really is talking about everything you’re saying and isn’t pulling the “gay people make it so hard to be OSA” card, because I’ve seen a bunch of those posts on my dash recently so they’re fresh in my mind and are what I’m thinking of while responding to this. So just know if that’s the case idk what post you’re talking about, and I’m strictly talking about the kweers who cry about people thinking their m/f relationships are straight, and being upset that gay people don’t want to hear about their OSA.
I know in my heart that I’m against misogyny, you can think what you want of me. But in my humble opinion, I think you have a very black and white perception of me that doesn’t allow for realising mistakes and growing from them.

Question. Has Oswald ever been struggling with his sexuality?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝓟𝖊𝖓𝖌𝖚𝖎𝖓 ; Headcanon meme
Tumblr media
Yes  and  no.  In  the  sense  that  Oswald  always  knew  what  his  sexuality  was.  He  was  aware  of it  about  as  young  as  13,  but,  of  course,  he  just  ignored  it  for  the  most  part.  He  didn't  date,  he  didn't  have  relationships,  he  told  himself  a  combination  of  he  had  better  things  to  do  and  also  that  the  right  guy  would  find  him  one  day  if  it  was  ever  meant  to  be.  I  think  a  part  of  him  was  scared  of  it.  Well  not  of  "it"  but  more  of  other  peoples  reactions  to  it.  Though  he  would  never  admit  it,  his  mother  was  probably  the  main  force  behind  his  fear.  She  had  always  pushed  the  idea  of  him  being  a  ladies  man  and  had  this  idea  that  he  would  find  a  good  woman  and  get  married  and  she  would  have  grandkids  one  day. 
These  were  all  things  that  horrified  Oswald  so  if  he  ever  had  any  doubt  of  what  his  sexuality  was  the  disgust  he  felt  over  the  mere  idea  of  "being  a  ladies  man"  and  finding  a  wife  and  having  children  always  reaffirmed  it  for  him. 
None  the  less,  for  a  while  didn't  wanna  be  known  as  the  "gay  gangster",  he  had  a  weird  feeling  that  would  work  against  the  fearsome  image  he  felt  he  needed  to  build  to  get  on  top  of  the  underworld.  Especially  while  it  was  still  heavily  controlled  by  the  Mafia.  But  those  fears  started  to  melt  away  when  he  met  Ed  and  he  realized  he  had  already  conquered  most  of  the  obstacles  that  had  been  in  his  way  before,  and  whatever  went  on  between  them  happened.  Suddenly  Oswald  wasn't  looking  at  it  as  a  weakness  or  as  something  that  could  be  used  against  him  but  rather  the  opposite.  He  decided  he  was  the  coward  for  not  owning  up  to  himself  and  who  he  really  was  sooner.  And  then  Gotham  ended,  wow,  such  a  good  show  the  version  of  it  that  lives  only  in  my  mind  because  we  just  don't  acknwolage  any  of  the  nightmare  that  happened  after  that. 
Honestly  it  KINDA  depends  on  verse  for  me  and  what  happens  between  Ed  and  Os.  I  guess  the  Gotham  fandom  is  really  my  kingdom  now  so  I  can  say  whatever  I  want  but  should  things  follow  the  forbidden  Gotham  canon  Oswald  is  pretty  reclosted  for  a  while,  or,  he'd  like  to  think  he  is.  But  he  kinda  unlocked  a  part  of  himself  thats  hard  to  lock  back  away.  He  doesn't  start  looking  for  "love"  again  until  much  later.  As  far  as  my  headcanons  go,  in  his  later  years,  Os  dabbled  in  online  dating  and  in  one  verse  he  has  a  complicated  relationship  with  a  male  escort.  Its  not  a  sexual  thing  either,  Oswalds  so  heavily  distrustful  and  touch  adverse   at  this  point  he  wont  let  the  guy  be  physical  with  him.  He's  pretty  much  just  paid  to  ride  around  with  Os  in  his  limo  and  give  him  company,  listen  to  his  woes,  tell  him  he  cares.  They're  never  seen  in  public.  In  the  GOOD  ending,  however,  Ed  and  Os  are  a  power-couple  and  we  all  get  what  we  deserved.  So  yeah,  all  in  all  "yes  and  no".  Os  knows  hes  gay,  and  hes  as  ok  with  it  as  hes  gonna  get  baring  in  mind  past  truamas  and  his  own  risky  life-style  and  homophobic  attuides.  He's  never  directly  told  the  world  he's  gay  but  he's  kind  of  of  the  mind  that  if  you  don't  know  you're  dense  as  a  doorknob  and  you  don't  deserve  to  know.   Another  funny  tidbit  of  info  is  that  yeah,  Os  still  gets  labeled  as  straight  fairly  often,  not  by  anyone  that  actually  knows  him,  that's  as  funny  to  them  as  it  is  to  him,  but  the  iceberg  lounge  staff  and  almost  all  Oswald's  main  enforcers  are  women.  He's  surrounded  by  women.  People  take  this  as  some  indication  of  his  sexuality  and  it  is,  but  they  look  at  it  the  wrong  way,  they  think  its  because  he  likes  women  but  he  surrounds  himself  with  women  because  he  knows  he  wouldn't  be  strong  enough  not  to  fall  in  love  with  some  hunky  male  body  guard  or  cute  waiter.  My man knows if some cute guy was waiting on him hand and foot or some heart throb was walking around killing and ready to die for him it'd be over.

i think youre right about this getting out of hand and youre valid in your suspicion of homophobic undertones. there are some things in canon that could be read certain ways if you wanted to, but the motive behind reading them that way/wanting to read them that way should be examined if its going to be publicly platformed like this. while i admit that i think some people are making interesting cases, i highly doubt a lot of this was the duffer bothers true vision and there is also the theme of making speculations about things that are not coming from anything explicit in canon. Instead there is lots of things that are just added from being neck deep in theories of rape and pedophilia throughout the show. for example going as far as to say vecna is chemically castrated because he doesn't appear to have genitalia. the reality is it was just a logical way to censor his nudity as a male bodied monster. the deep dedication to "proving" a "queer coded character" is a gay pedophile and rapist is starting to look weird for me too.
""vecna is chemically castrated"" *coraline's dad meme* The psychic damage I just received from that god give me strength. Now I'm just waiting for someone to see what I said earlier about the "virus" likenesses in the "curse" and the mindflayer's possession etc and call it some type of allogory for AIDS. Literally up next: Vecna/Henry's got AIDS and he's giving his AIDS to everyone because he's literally a predatory diseased f*ggot. The true giga chad takes. Seriously, I think the only anti gay trope and stereotype we're missing in all this atm is the "all gay men have/get aids/aids punishment" one. And this is under the assumption they haven't actually done that already because BOY we're doing THE MOST out here. Anyway.... Thank you for this anon, I think you kind of put into words a few things I've been struggling to word?
I've been really burnt out and frankly kinda saddened at how this particular shit took over the Henry side of the fandom and the fact it feels like I can no longer go into Henry's tag (the only one I actually visit sometimes) without these types of posts being the majority and the top take and the influence its having on the fandom and how people are viewing the character which due to the issues with separating fiction and reality this fandom is documented to have, is concerning for fans of him like me and possibly even for Jamie, who has defended Vecna himself.  Quick edit:  This is also not to say that all these types of posts and theories are being created with homophobic intentions per say but they’re still weird as hell and none the less this doesn’t mean people aren't going to spread, create and consume them who may have homophobic intentions and as if they cant and wont be feeling validating toward people with homophobic views.   And while I'm here moaning it also bothers me, because even when the theories do talk a little about people like Brenner and even Virginia and sometimes explicitly label the two of them as Henry's abusers --- recently takes are even directly claiming them as people who have literally raped Henry but these supposed/theoretical actions toward Henry are not being as brutally examined or viciously condemned as Henry's theoretical crimes are? I'm gonna have trouble explaining this right I think so I hope this makes sense but like? The whole point feels to be to demonize Henry in particular and it feels a little like SOME OF IT is done in retaliation toward his fans for making posts that examine him and show him in a more sympathetic light. Like, the whole idea that Henry was really a rape victim -- that his mother raped him as a little boy and that he was then abducted by a man who continued to rape him all his life; and that being a thing because it somehow explains how deeply evil he is, since he decided to do something violating to someone else that has similar connotations as rape?? Not how evil the people who did that to him are, thats like an afterthought.  Even though like, if thats what these people actually think then Henry spent his entire life being literally raped. Like not "metaphorical" rape, not something that could resemble or draw similar feelings of violation as rape, but like actual full on real rape. Like according to these theories this even being from his own mother and then the man who effectively kidded napped him. So the imagined "literal" rape of Henry is sort of minimized in favour of demonizing and condemning Henry for the "metaphorical" rape he supposedly committed, which gives it the undertone of his LITERAL rape being somehow "deserved" because of something - not even entirely the same - he did so much later in life. Hell, not just LATER in life but in his fucking “”death”” and “”rebirth”” as a raged-fueled trauma monster.
Because I also have to point out like this "metaphorical rape" Vecna has committed is something Henry only committed AS VECNA, when he was transformed into a pitiless supernatural force of sadness and anger, and something that is unfortunately curse/doomed to repeat and project moments of his own trauma and suffering onto his "victims" due to this anger and desire for revenge on those who harmed and rejected his human self. Which is also like.... Wheres the p*dophile thing coming from when the "metaphorical rape" is, in fact, metaphorical, not literal, and HUMAN Henry didn't do shit to rape or have any type of interactions, inappropriate or otherwise, with young boys in ANY way? Henry was apparently spending his time being literally raped according to these wild ass headcanons?? Not doing the raping. And therefore also why is he a GAY p*dophile exclusively when Vecna's "victims" are equally female? Like I said it being bitchy and sarcastic in another post but being for real: If Henry's victims are some sick pyschosexual reflection of his sexuality then he can't be gay because he doesn't discriminate against women in any way. 
The only significant interaction human Henry had with a child was when he went just a little too hard to save her from the life of oppression and cruelty that he had lived. Sure, it backfired tragically but his intentions were obviously benevolent and that shows he wasn't always a monster, let alone some kind of depraved sexual deviant. (Unless these people are making up OCs for Henry to have raped and abused before he became Vecna and you know what I wouldn't put that past them after all this either.) ANYWAY, seriously if Vecna did spend his whole life getting raped, was chemically castrated for being gay (or whatever, not sure if thats been mentioned/headcanoned to support him being gay or support him being a p*do since it goes either way, since gay/queer men were historically treated AS sexual deviants and pedophiles so their 'punishments' were the same, homophobia is one hell of a drug.) and he basically “died” trying desperately to escape this abuse and has vowed divine biblical vengeance on the whole world as a result, that's only gonna have me loving and supporting him even more. I mean holy shit It might even make me HOPE he wins and not a damn single thing he's done could make me feel different. If he wants to destroy the world because of all that I can’t fault him! I fucking think he should! As a treat! 
But yeah I fully agree with you anon and AGAIN thank you. Don't mind my emotional rantings! I just cant see a lot of that other stuff as the Duffers actual intentions with who/what Vecna is and represents.

So, my friend (who we’ll be calling l from now on if I don’t forget because I might just disappear again idk) is transphobic.
I’m not even mad, I know me being mad about any shit in my life wont help anything
I’m relieved I guess, but also feel like a terrible person because how could I just be complacent?
It’s not hard pretending everything’s normal, and I don’t think it’s affected me that much, but then I feel horrible about not caring, so maybe it did?
I’m kinda confused, but it doesn’t even really matter because no matter how I feel about it, she’ll still be homophobic and I’ll be in the closet
-👐 (that’s the emoji I used, right?, I can’t even remember since I disappeared for a while)
Hello! Welcome back! It's nice to see you again, although I wish your circumstances were better. I do think it matters how you feel, even if it doesn't change the outcomes. Feelings are part of it all, they deserve space and time and attention.
I'm sorry your friend is transphobic, and I'm sorry you're not in a place to express yourself or get away from her. It always hurts to find out, even when you're being hesitant and cautious going into it, at least it has for me. There have been a few people I've been around who just...don't click quite right, and I wonder things, and I try very hard to assume the best and not jump to judgements on anything, but then when I do find out some of the beliefs they hold it still sucks. Even though I was wondering about it, it still sucks to find out. Because I want people and the world to be better than that. And I know that bigotry is out there and harmful ideology exists because real people believe in it, but i like to hope that people are better than that.
and it's like, at least I know and am no longer wondering, but I hate that this is what the outcome is. Because sometimes it feels like it would be better to be in the dark, because then you could be ignorant and still hope for the best. But now you know, and you can't unknow it. And you have to live with that knowledge.
It can take time to figure out how you feel, and there can be a lot wrapped up in all of it, too. So if you don't know, that's okay. There's no time limit on processing. But your feelings do matter, even when it changes nothing, even when you reflect and have to admit that it does hurt where you wish it didn't.
I can't change your friends or your situation, but I'm sorry she's transphobic. I hope you find people around you who love and support you and the people you care about, both online and in-person <3

Hey like. I know equality and trying to be morally correct is kinda at least a portion of the tumblr user's thing but. You do gotta understand that if you're trying to be better than literally any person that could even remotely qualify as 'morally incorrect' you gotta stop fuckin policing people when they do something.
See, the fun thing about policing people is that it pigeonholes them into that behavior because, shocker, the views and opinions of others around someone can affect them in so many fuckin ways, especially if you have a platform and start talking about this person to your audience without the proper precautions.
This doesn't mean you cant criticize actions of people you don't agree with, or that you have to accept every single person you meet. you can talk with someone, and kindly disagree with something they do, but it's also important to learn why they do it, as it can help us stay close and hoo boy are shared bonds between people a powerful thing. Literally its probably the most important thing to try and gain, a good number of good reliable connections can form a safety net and help you when you struggle.
But even if you get along, there will always be some arguments and disagreements, but sticking through those rough patches will only strengthen already unbreakable frienships.
Listen anyone can be your friend i promise, even people you usually aren't interested in talking to. Just give it time and understand when you may need to approach things differently, but also make sure to understand your limits. There are some people that may not have your best interest in mind.
This post has drifted from talking about policing to friendship but anyway. I get there are a lot of people that often criticize media that makes friendship into a power, or it often saves the day to just talk. And i get it, it doesn't always work at every turn and sometimes you don't have time or resources to work it out, or the other person wont listen. Sometimes the problem is bigger than just people (cough cough america cough cough). But also 1/ shut the fuck i think we need MORE shows about peace and love on planet earth and 2 you'd be surprised just how well being neutral and understanding of someone as they are can help you form a bond with someone and just how powerful that bond can be. Like i dunno man if you really hate the show about being nice and how cool it can be you might actually wanna consider trying to get some real kind friends who treat you well and are understanding. Or also stop using said criticism as an excuse to mask your racist/homophobic/transphobic/xenophobic/alltheotherphobias and actually just say that you hate the show because it has a group of people you don't like portrayed well. Like the least you could do is not twist the truth so hard it makes your interpretation of the media look like a kaleidoscope of shit, im sure so many people would rather you be honest and admit you just fuckin hate people than to hear theres another asshole masking and lying about their intentions of being a dick.
#rambles#lol sorry#i just got a lot on my mind#i just finished a new show#its called my daemon#it was really good i loved it#it did feel a little like specifically sonic 06 and how many fucking times elise got captured#i feel like it overdid some ideas#but personally that didn't even detract from my experience#it was really interesting and cute#and i swear to got its just post apocalyptic pokemon legends arceus#the daemons even say their own names as calls and i swear some of them are voiced by va's that voice pokemon#its crazy i love it#oh also there is gore#i loved the gore its great#some people might not like it because the protag is 11#which is fair#but personally i think its great#listen. fucked up shit happens to children in real life. it aint good but it happens.#you aren't supposed to feel good that the kids are experiencing the horrors#theres no reason to feel bad about a show specifically because theres a kid in it and they suffer a lot and go through fucked up shit#and if it was an issue why the fuck are we not talking about shows featuring an animal cast where they deal with the horrors#why isnt there anyone complaining about say. watership down huh?#because it isnt fucking real and even though these shows can move people to feel things#it doesn't mean that the characters are real and that there are real world repercussion for things they go through#this is the same reason why you can play skyrim and kill so many people and animals and still be a good person after u log off#it aint real fiction is a realm where we can create anything without consequences#the only time it differs is once we make something that is intended to make an impact on the people who see it#you are in charge of if you publicize your art and the message it portrays to the public

Sexuality.
Tumblr media
Question. Has Oswald ever been struggling with his sexuality?
Tumblr media
Yes  and  no.  In  the  sense  that  Oswald  always  knew  what  his  sexuality  was.  He  was  aware  of it  about  as  young  as  13,  but,  of  course,  he  just  ignored  it  for  the  most  part.  He  didn't  date,  he  didn't  have  relationships,  he  told  himself  a  combination  of  he  had  better  things  to  do  and  also  that  the  right  guy  would  find  him  one  day  if  it  was  ever  meant  to  be.  I  think  a  part  of  him  was  scared  of  it.  Well  not  of  "it"  but  more  of  other  peoples  reactions  to  it.  Though  he  would  never  admit  it,  his  mother  was  probably  the  main  force  behind  his  fear.  She  had  always  pushed  the  idea  of  him  being  a  ladies  man  and  had  this  idea  that  he  would  find  a  good  woman  and  get  married  and  she  would  have  grandkids  one  day. 
These  were  all  things  that  horrified  Oswald  so  if  he  ever  had  any  doubt  of  what  his  sexuality  was  the  disgust  he  felt  over  the  mere  idea  of  "being  a  ladies  man"  and  finding  a  wife  and  having  children  always  reaffirmed  it  for  him. 
None  the  less,  for  a  while  didn't  wanna  be  known  as  the  "gay  gangster",  he  had  a  weird  feeling  that  would  work  against  the  fearsome  image  he  felt  he  needed  to  build  to  get  on  top  of  the  underworld.  Especially  while  it  was  still  heavily  controlled  by  the  Mafia.  But  those  fears  started  to  melt  away  when  he  met  Ed  and  he  realized  he  had  already  conquered  most  of  the  obstacles  that  had  been  in  his  way  before,  and  whatever  went  on  between  them  happened.  Suddenly  Oswald  wasn't  looking  at  it  as  a  weakness  or  as  something  that  could  be  used  against  him  but  rather  the  opposite.  He  decided  he  was  the  coward  for  not  owning  up  to  himself  and  who  he  really  was  sooner.  And  then  Gotham  ended,  wow,  such  a  good  show  the  version  of  it  that  lives  only  in  my  mind  because  we  just  don't  acknwolage  any  of  the  nightmare  that  happened  after  that. 
Honestly  it  KINDA  depends  on  verse  for  me  and  what  happens  between  Ed  and  Os.  I  guess  the  Gotham  fandom  is  really  my  kingdom  now  so  I  can  say  whatever  I  want  but  should  things  follow  the  forbidden  Gotham  canon  Oswald  is  pretty  reclosted  for  a  while,  or,  he'd  like  to  think  he  is.  But  he  kinda  unlocked  a  part  of  himself  thats  hard  to  lock  back  away.  He  doesn't  start  looking  for  "love"  again  until  much  later.  As  far  as  my  headcanons  go,  in  his  later  years,  Os  dabbled  in  online  dating  and  in  one  verse  he  has  a  complicated  relationship  with  a  male  escort.  Its  not  a  sexual  thing  either,  Oswalds  so  heavily  distrustful  and  touch  adverse   at  this  point  he  wont  let  the  guy  be  physical  with  him.  He's  pretty  much  just  paid  to  ride  around  with  Os  in  his  limo  and  give  him  company,  listen  to  his  woes,  tell  him  he  cares.  They're  never  seen  in  public. 
In  the  GOOD  ending,  however,  Ed  and  Os  are  a  power-couple  and  we  all  get  what  we  deserved.  So  yeah,  all  in  all  "yes  and  no".  Os  knows  hes  gay,  and  hes  as  ok  with  it  as  hes  gonna  get  baring  in  mind  past  truamas  and  his  own  risky  life-style  and  homophobic  attuides.  He's  never  directly  told  the  world  he's  gay  but  he's  kind  of  of  the  mind  that  if  you  don't  know  you're  dense  as  a  doorknob  and  you  don't  deserve  to  know.  
Another  funny  tidbit  of  info  is  that  yeah,  Os  still  gets  labeled  as  straight  fairly  often,  not  by  anyone  that  actually  knows  him,  that's  as  funny  to  them  as  it  is  to  him,  but  the  iceberg  lounge  staff  and  almost  all  Oswald's  main  enforcers  are  women.  He's  surrounded  by  women.  People  take  this  as  some  indication  of  his  sexuality  and  it  is,  but  they  look  at  it  the  wrong  way,  they  think  its  because  he  likes  women  but  he  surrounds  himself  with  women  because  he  knows  he  wouldn't  be  strong  enough  not  to  fall  in  love  with  some  hunky  male  body  guard  or  cute  waiter.  My man knows if some cute guy was waiting on him hand and foot or some heart throb was walking around killing and ready to die for him it'd be over. He'd fall in love so hard.

rant T-T
a person in my college shared a prageru reel in her instagram story about some democratic conference in america where they cut bits from thr video where people talk about being considering of sensory overload and stuff and the person comments that nothing will get done if u focus on people's pronouns and stuff and all that idk i didn't want to waste my energy watching the whole thing
the interesting thing is that this is the same girl that asked me if was going to pride parade in my city last year and if we could go together haha idk like im just glad im not like close with her so i just muted her story..
the thing is any time any lgbt situation was there in college, the people that were in my class were like this most of the time.. like there were instances i could remember from the past 3 years where i could not understand these people's behaviour
on one side they were like "i support lgbt people im an ally" and then when u actually try to have a meaningful conversation with them it just became clear that they were being fake and just uninformed about the topic and wanted to seem like a supporter just so people wont criticize them for being homophobic or transphobic.
I'd rather these people just admitted that they dont know about what the lgbt movement is and just didn't involve with queer people around them jusy to say "i know queer people so im not queerphobic"
I tend to casually come out to my friends/cousins in conversations out of impulse sometimes and sometimes i just suffer to get out those words when i want to come out due to anxiety so yeah when i do the first thing in front of these fake people i just fall into a chaotic spiral repeating "why did i do that" in my mind

A few predictions:
Daon's painting wont be seen at least until ep 15.
Daon likes Taekyung but because he cant be honest with himself he cant be honest with taekyung. He is so concerned about the perception of himself that the idea of people seeing him as something that could be ostracised like he is with his family is terrifiying.
I predict he wont have dealt with those issues until the finale two eps.
I think that is when he will confirm his previous feelings for Taekyung, but by this point taekyung will be with Shinwoo. But just the act of admitting it will be a burden off his shoulders.
I believe light on me is for Daon a coming out story. Not a romance.
The romance will be between Shinwoo and Taekyung. The thing about change that Namgong said - it was so observable these last few eps with Shinwoo that Taekyumg is starting to notice.
I predict we will see Daon do the unforgivable act of shunning taekyung in an effort to distance himself from the gay rumours that will spring up in eps 11 and 12. But shinwoo will suport him.
I predict taekyung will eventually forgive daon for his behaviour. Because he is taekyung.
The dialogue from ep one about "my first love" is in reference to Daon. But i think there will me dialogue to follow talking about current love or boyfriend or first loves lead to trueer loves. Aka Shinwoo.
And i think ezpecially after sohee homophobic comments that Namgoong likes Daon. That he has stuck by daons side for years because he knew he wasnt ready to be open with himself.
Lets see how many i get right.

breaking down this anti-ian article bc it bothers me ( from the child of a bipolar mother and a male teen with same sex attraction ) while also providing valid reasons ian sucks ( from someone who likes ian )
ive had this drafted for a while so i dont think i cover anything from season 11
tw for i^cest and r^pe
he was with a married man
in this point it points out that he was with kash and he continued his relationship with kash even after linda put cameras in the store
“Ian didn't seem to care about how wrong his affair with Kash was or how much it could hurt Kash's wife Linda, whom he saw at the store regularly. “
that is a quote from that part.
ian gallagher was fifteen in season one, kash was an older man who bought him gifts and payed attention to ian ,, that was not on ian , none of that was ian fault because he was a child
ian wasnt open with lip
“ Ian didn't tell Lip about his preferences and forced Lip to figure it out on his own. Lip was instantly accepting of his brother's truth and even offered to help him figure out any confusion he might be harboring, so it's really strange that Ian wasn't just upfront with his closest confidant from the start.”
no , lip wasnt forced to figure it out on his own and he also wasn’t instantly accepting.
in this point it mentions that ‘they’re extremely close ( bestfriends and brothers ) so its strange ian didnt tell him’
like point 1 , ian is a fifteen year old boy, growing up on the southside , and thoughout the show it has mentioned multiple times that the southside isnt that accepting
back to lip -- lip wasnt accepting, sure he was fine but ‘helping your younger brother figure it out’ by having a (female) classmate give him a blowjob isnt helping
he secretly dated his best friends brother
“Most friends have an unspoken rule about not dating each other's siblings, but Ian broke this rule by secretly entering into a relationship with Mandy's closeted brother Mickey.”
the only thing i have to say about this is , he was still with kash and mickey was a boy in his age group who was gay , growing up in the southside ian probably thought he was the token gay so of course hes going to chase after mickey
he stood by as kash attacked mickey
“Ian didn't do anything to stop Kash from shooting his new lover, and didn't even tell the police about his boss' over-the-top display of jealous action so proper justice could be served.”
okay. because two men he had fallen for had gotten into a fight, there was a gun involved and he panicked, in the end after mickey got shot he went to him
now to address the quote, he didnt say anything to the police because he probably knew that that would bring shame onto kash and his family, along with mickey and his family who are very homophobic
oh yeah and it was like 2011 and cops suck and THEY LIVE ON THE SOUTHSIDE
he and lip tried framing terry milkovich
oh the homophobic and racist dad of his boyfriend and bestfriend who tried to kill him and r*ped his daughter ?
yeah , shit man , that was real bad they shouldn’t have done that /s
he dated jimmy-steves married father
“Ian didn't bother telling Jimmy the truth about his father and didn't end his relationship with Lloyd upon finding out that he had a secret wife and family, either.”
at this point ian is probably sixteen but that doesnt matter bc i wont even address that
he met him at a club and then used his relationship with ned to make mickey jealous which was one of the reasons he kept seeing him, he didnt tell jimmy-steve about the relationship or his father bc he shouldnt find out from him he should find out from his father , again like kash, ned was an older man who payed attention to ian and ned later did develop feelings feelings for ian
he stole lips identity to enlist in the army
he enlisted because he didnt know what to do with himself, its implied/stated that the army timeline was the start of his bipolar
“While impersonating Lip, Ian had tried to steal a helicopter and then proceeded to go AWOL.”
this is because of the bipolar he suffers from, it is referenced later in the series after he gets back and hes manic
ian refused to accept being bipolar
of course he didnt accept it, it is made very clear that his family thinks lowly of monica so of course if hes the lucky duck to get what his siblings demonize her for, of course he’ll not want to be it
“He refused to take medications that could alter his personality or mood.”
okay. this is why im making this whole post, this goes along with part 15 ( or so idk ) ,,
my mother , my dear mother, who is bipolar and doesnt take her meds because they are mood altering , my mom doesnt take med because she told me once that they make her feel like shit, she told me that a little after i was born she started taking them but realized she felt nothing, she felt nothing for my dad or for i ( making her numb )
she told me anti deppresents dont help either because when shes on them and manic it pushes her past productive and into angry
my dad told me that when my mom was on bi polar medication she would seem angry most of the time
he wasnt faitful to mickey
“Ian's bipolar disorder made him very reckless and impulsive and led him to be unfaithful.”
lets break that down.
ians. bipolar. disorder.
this plot point i actually didnt like, mainly bc ian never addresses it so ill give the article a point. but then i take away 2 because they have more of a problem with his bipolar messing with him rather than the fact he never apologized and they never worked it out
ian stole yevgeny
before i start quoting i should mention because his boyfriend, who has supported and helped him is suddenly telling him he needs help, he was helping raise yev so he’ll see yev as his own
“Ian failed to recognize just how crazy he was acting...”
cuting you off right there , he was in a bipolar state, he wasnt ‘crazy’ and isnt ‘crazy’
he cant even keep count of his number of partners
just slutshaming i see
he helped throw frank off a bridge
“His relationship with Frank was understandably never the same after that, as Frank struggled to get over this act of betrayal and cruelty.”
‘was never the same after that’ frank never liked ian, ian was probably his least favorite and that point is very apparent
also , it wasnt just ian , his siblings and his boyfriend caleb
he left a healthy relationship to be with mickey
he fell in love with mickey at 15 , mickey was a comfort and always someone to fall back on, when mickey was taken away and no longer in the picture his heart still obviously was with mickey and when mickey came back he didnt know what to do
he told mickey he had a boyfriend but because mickey has been such a constant in his life he finally has back of course he couldnt resist
he liked trevor, i could tell he did but trevor wasnt the one he watched get r^ped by a russian prostitute, he wasnt the one ian was secretly dating bc it would be a death wish other wise, he wasnt the one there when ian was manic or depressive ( at the start )
he tried blackmailing an old client for money
“Instead of raising the money in an honest manner, Ian chose to visit an old client from his time working at the Fairy Tail and blackmail him into funding the shelter.”
because he felt indebted to trevor and wanted to make it up to him, it would have taken longer to do it in ‘an honest manner’ when his sister would have gotten it instead, he knew how much gay youths like he once was needed a safe place
“He grew up wanting to be nothing like his father, but this whole money-making scheme was straight out of the Frank playbook”
because thats all he knows, he grew up with that ‘playbook’ so of course hes going to take a page out of it, he is nothing like frank , franks money making schemes are selfish and for his own greed while ian wanted the money to help build a safe space for lgbt youth
he let fame inflate his ego
of course he did, hes a southside kid who was destined to fail
also it is very apparent that during the gay jesus era he went off his medication which didnt help
“Before long, he just completely forgot about his ex and focused solely on being a deity”
as much as yes, he did let it mess with his head, he was trying to still help lgbt youth and was going against anti gay churchs , in the end it didnt work out for him because he was off his meds and went over board
he stopped taking his meds
see previous point and ‘ian refused to accept being bipolar’
he actually wanted to stay in prison
because he was doing good in there
ian was helping others and was spreading awareness about lgbt with in the prison , and as him and jail scenes go , we can see people were listening to him and he was trying to make it safe sane and consensual
he let down his army of followers
“Ian admitted that most of his actions were completely irrational and the mere results of his bipolar disorder.”
he didnt want to, we can see this, because he knew he would let down everyone, his family were the only ones to ever ground him and they knew it would be the best option for his own mental health
during the gallavich wedding we can see that a lot of his supporters still have his back because they must know how hard it was for him to put all of that success on something he can’t control
he constantly wasted his potential
this is actually the only point in this article i actually agree with , so only 1/20 i agree with
his relationship with mickey wasn’t actually great
“Mickey spent the first several years of their relationship denying his feelings for Ian.”
he was raised by a homophobic and racist father who he knew would react the way he did when terry had caught the two that one day
“Even after he finally embraced his true self, Ian's bipolar disorder kept them from becoming truly happy together.”
yes but mickey was there for him the entire time and helped him through it, he told him he loved him which was really big for him and did his best to care for him
“They couldn't seem to remain faithful to each other for more than a few weeks.”
back to the point about ians bipolar but for mickey he wanted monogamy , now that scene in s11 may say otherwise but it is very clear that he wants a monogamous relationship with ian and ian ( after getting help ) wants one too, and in the later seasons they are monogamous
“When Mickey asked Ian to run away to Mexico with him, Ian refused.”
he wanted to, it’s obvious, but ian has his family and didnt want to abandon them again, i think part of him knew he would see mickey again because they always find eachother, he gave mickey all of his money and wanted mickey to have a good life
“Their relationship was simply never healthy.”
no it wasnt, but thats why the ship is great in its own way, the gay closet kid raised by a homophobic man is obviously going to have a lot of baggage , and ian who is bipolar and struggling with himself will also have a lot of baggage , but in the end they love eachother and that really shows in season five and season seven specifically
that is all lol ,,, this is long sorry
now, i am not a ian apologist , i love ian but hes a dumbass sometimes
actual valid reasons ian sucks
genuinely believes frank is worse than terry
yes frank was definitely abusive but terry is definitely worse ,,
mentally/physically/sexually abusive , the whole nine yards
terry hired a prostitute to r^pe his son , threatened to kill him and ian on multiple occasions , r^ped his daughter who ended up pregnant and is actively racist
frank on the other hand will make gay jokes but in the end doesnt give enough of a shit , he has attacked his children on multiple occasions but not to the brutality that terry has ( this isnt me excusing it )
sorry ian , terry is worse
never apologized
he never apologized for all the shit he put mickey and his family through, never apologized to mickey for cheating on him , never apologized for all the manic and depressive episodes mickey endured with him
never apologized for walking away when he couldn’t handle it, in hall of shame mickey actually acknowledges this saying ‘its youre whole MO’
debbies sexuality
he has constantly made statements saying debbie isnt gay and that bothers me because , why does it care ? as a gay man and as a gay man who soent time with a lot of lgbt youth wouldnt he support his sister even if shes just ‘experimenting’?
in the recent season he doesnt seem to care and doesn’t say anything but it still bothers me
mickey only getting like 80% of his heart
okay look , i get what ian means when he says this , everyones hes been with has made him who he is but fucking hell dude ,, shut up , thats your husband , thats the love of your life you shouldnt be saying shit like that , especially to him
and then this man had the audacity to say mickey probably feels the same about past flings when he knows that ian is the only one hes probably ever been with/serious about
obviously there is probably more but those are the main ones that come to mind
before anyone brings up the trans or bi thing im going to explain my thought process for him
like ive probably mentioned multiple times he grew up southside and obviously only ever grew up with lgb and not t ,, trevor did inform him a lot and ian became supre accepting of everyone,, sexual preference isnt transphobic but i do think he approached the matter badly
now the bi thing , legit all i think is that he doesnt hate bisexual people its just that the man he really liked slept with a woman and never expressed any heterosexual attraction so it probably just suprised him and pissed him off because caleb did cheat on ian
if you read this far HOLY SHIT THANKS LOL ,, im not adding things that i think are pro about ian this was just me breaking down that article and giving my two cents :)
feel free to message me and talk to me or send me articles like this about any other character/relationship and i will totally break that one down too lol
thanks for letting me rant

im just going to say this cuz im fucking tired, it is not good romanticize a stunt, a beard or whatever u want to call it. When u say, "look at them", "they were so cute", "he really liked her" or "if larry is not real I prefer Brianna or Danielle", are u listening to what are u saying? Because is sound so stupid, just because there are two or three pics where they look happy or cute or like they look in love DOESNT MEAN THAT THEY ARE IN LOVE, for example; in a party I kiss and talk and im friendly with all the people because the situation, I huge strangers, I took their hands, Im also loving, and that doesnt mean that Im in love.
Tumblr media
What the hell is this?
Omg they look like that because in front of them THERE WAS A CAMERA, they have to look like that, if you search and watch all the videos u will understand that everything was planned. For months they went to clubs every night and every nigth they were paparazzed, and as Niall said "if u dont want to be paparazzed, u wont be", they allowed this. (Anyways the first and the third photo are edited so dont be fooled)
Even if lounielle were cute, saying that u prefer that if larry is not true is so disrecpectfull, danielle said a lot of times that she regretted, when there werent cameras their happiness was fading, didnt u see the pics where she had to take out her bra and she was so uncomfortable? if they were in love it was a toxic love because when all ended she wasnt there for the worst moments of Lou's life, but she went out every night to parties and there are a lot of articles and photos about that time, if u really loved someone, u support her/him even if u are not with her/him anymore.
"U cant say that brianna was stunt" I CAN FUCKING SAY WHAT I WANT JUST LEAVE ME, im not like you that just for three happy photos in a club with 80 cameras in front of them I will think that was not a stunt. And for me is a little bit disrespectfull talk about that time because the things were so strange and I didnt see louis being happy when he was with her without cameras so dont tell me tht they were cute when I know the horrible things tht happened.
"Im larry but I really like lounielle" what are u saying??? U like a false relationship that was created to hide a real relationship, do u like that? They HAVE TO look cute, they HAVE TO film videos being so in love, they HAVE TO act like a real couple because homophobic people, do u think that this is easy? that louis wants this shit? That harry wants this shit? They paid her to work of this and she admited.
Lets go with kendall, like a lot of people think that in that time they broke up, they think H fell in love with her. In my opinion, any real relationship prepared a whole story about being hacked just for show some pictures in a private lake or sea whatever that place was, they could simply tell us by an article, by a post on instagram but no, they were "hacked" and then we have their cute pictures in a jate that casually in the part they were was an space to be paparazzed and a worker of publicity confirm it to us by saying that the famous who want to be paparazzed goes exactly to that part of the jate so the cameras can catch them because paps cant be near to the jate, they have to be hired. Again, THEY HAVE TO LOOK CUTE FOR THE CAMERAS, years of this and u still not understand it?
I dont know how people still believing hamille was real, didnt u see the videos of Harry singing to louis at vip box in his concerts? And yesss im affirming it because nobody else was there, Louis was there. Harry didnt sing still the one to him for u to believe he was in love with camille, they need a narrative so people now can say he wrote his album for her, they needed a story.
Cherry=stunt song
(doesnt mean that is not beautiful)
If u have a "guilty shipp" is bad, and that is not my opinion, is a true concept, u cant have a guilty shipp because they look cute when they are hiding a real relationship, im talking about lounielle, it wasnt love, it was a CONTRACT, understand it.
For the twitters ones: if u are reading this, please dont bring again lounielle, hamille, hendall, brianna pics again, there werent good times, there was a horrible contract.
Im not saying this because im a larrie, im saying this because of harry and louis, do u think it was easy for them to hide their relationship? It wasnt and is not. I dont want to make u feel guilty just please try not to do these things again.
Thanks for reading me.

Voy a decir esto porque estoy muy cansada, no esta bueno romantizar stunts, barbas o como quieras llamarlo. Cuando dices "miralos", "se ven muy tiernos", "a el realmente le gustaba", "si larry no es real prefiero a danielle o brianna", estas escuchando lo que estas diciendo? Porque suena muy estupido, solo porque hayan dos o tres fotos donde lucen tiernos, felices o que estan enamorados NO SIGNIFICA QUE REALMENTE LO ESTEN. Por ejemplo, en una fiesta, yo me beso, yo me hablo, soy amistosa y tierna con todos por la situacion en la que estoy, me abrazo con extraños, les tomo la mano y soy amorosa con ellos y eso no significa que este enamorada.
Tumblr media
Que mierda es esto?
Omg ellos lucen asi porque HAY UNA CAMARA AL FRENTE DE ELLOS, ellos tienen que lucir asi, si buscas y ves todos los videos vas a entender que todo estaba planeado. Todas las noches salian y todas las noches eran fotografiados, como niall dijo "si no quieres ser fotografiado, no lo eres", ellos lo permitieron. (De todas formas la primera y tercera foto estan editadas asi que no sean engañados).
Incluso si lounielle lucian tiernos, diciendo que preferirias a ellos si larry no es real, es irrespetuoso, danielle muchas veces dijo que se arrepentia, cuando no habia camaras su felicidad se esfumaba, no viste las fotos donde ella tuvo que sacarse el corpiño y ella estaba muy incomoda? Si ellos estaban enamorados fue un amor toxico porque cuando todo termino ella no estuvo en los peores momentos de louis, pero ella salia todas las noches, y hay articulos y fotos sobre esa epoca, si de verdad amaste a alguien estas para apoyarlo/a incluso cuando terminaste con el/ella.
"No puedes decie que brianna fue stunt" PUEDO DECIR LO QUE YO QUIERA SOLO DEJAME, no soy como vos que por tres fotos en un club con 80 camaras al frente de ellos no voy a pensar que fue stunt. Y es un poco irrespetuoso hablar de esa epoca cuando todas las cosas fueron raras y louis no se veia feliz con ella sin camaras, y no me digas que ellos lucian tiernos cuando se las cosas horribles que pasaron.
"Soy larrie pero me gusta lounielle" que estas diciendo? Te gusta una relacion falsa que fue creada para ocultar una relacion verdadera. Te gusta eso? Ellos TENIAN que lucir tiernos, TENIAN que grabar videos estando "enamorados", TENIAN que actuar como una pareja real por las personas homofobicas, piensas que fue facil? Que louis queria esa mierda? Que harry queria esa mierda? Le pagaron a ella para que trabaje de esto y ella lo admitio.
Vamos con kendall, como la gente cree que ellos cortaron para esa fecha, piensan que harry se enamoro de ella. En mi opinion, ninguna relacion de verdad crea una historia donde son hackeados para mostrarnos unas fotos en un jate en un lago o mar lo que sea ese lugar, simplemente pudieron darnos la noticia por un articulo, un post en instagram, pero no, fueron "hackeados" asi nos mostraron sus fotos tan tiernas en el jate que casuamente estaban en un lugar para ser fotografiados y un trabajador de publicismo nos lo confirmo diciendo que si los famosos quieren ser vistos tienen que ir hacia ese lugar asi las camaras pueden captarlos porque no pueden acercarse los paps, tienen que ser contratados. De nuevo, ELLOS TIENEN QUE LUCIR TIERNOS, tantos años de esto y todavia no lo entiendes?
Todavia no entiendo a la gente que sigue diciendo que hamille fue real, no viste cuando harry le canto a louis en la vip box? Y si lo estoy confirmando porque nadie mas estaba alli, louis si. Harry no canto still the one a louis para que creas que estaba enamorado de camille, ellos crearon la narrativa asi podian decir que le escribio un album a ella, ellos necesitaban la historia.
Cherry=stunt song.
(Eso no quita que sea hermosa)
Si tienes un "shipp culposo" esta mal, y no es mi opinion, es un concepto real, no podes tener un shipp culposo porque lucen lindos cuando estan ocultando una relacion de verdad, estoy hablando de lounielle, no era amor, ERA UN CONTRATO, entiendan.
Para las de twitter: si estas leyendo esto por favor, no traigas a lounielle, hamille, hendall, brianna, de vuelta, no fueron buenos momentos, fue un horrible contrato.
No estoy diciendo esto porque soy larrie, estoy diciendolo por harry y louis, piensas que fue facil ocultar su relacion? No lo fue y no lo es. No estoy tratando de hacerte sentir culpable solo no lo hagas de vuelta y listo.
Gracias por leerme

I wrote a really long post about playersexuality about a year ago mostly targeting other crpgs, but I updated it a bit and decided to throw it on this blog too. It’s a bit repetitive, and it isn’t perfect, but it’s important to me that I’ve been trying to parse my direct feelings towards the phenomenon for a long time and I wanted to write it out. 
It mostly came from this article/post, and then kind of grew from there. It isn’t a direct criticism of Baldur’s Gate 3 or how Larian studios is writing queer sexuality, but if the shoe fits...well...
First of this all comes from someone with a trans and bi perspective. So it’s all subjective obviously. None of this is about discrediting bisexual characters, but critically analyzing how games depict queer sexuality. I just want more people to understand how playersexuality does hurt gay people who want gay characters, and hurt bi people who want more tangible representation and not a “schrodinger's” bisexuality.
Bisexuality/pansexuality isn’t necessarily being attracted to someone regardless or despite gender. It’s being attracted to more then one gender. Gender does, in fact, matter In relationships. Its frustrating really. My relationship to gender means a lot to me. It’s shaped my whole life. When I want someone to love me, I want them to love me for me AND acknowledge my gender. It’s a part of who I am. I don’t want it to be ignored. I’ve never had the privilege to ignore my gender, and I’ve never had the privilege of other people ignoring it either, since I’m trans. It’s not my only quality, but it’s a big part of my personal story and growth. Whenever I want to date anyone, I always have to have a conversation with them about our sexualities and my gender.
When you make a game with a story about fictional characters, you usually want the audience to care about said characters. You want to make it possible for the audience to empathize with them in some way. But in the end, all they ever will be is the game developer’s IDEA of what a person is, never an actual person. How sexuality and gender are presented in the story is all but an idea of how the game developers want sexuality and gender to be presented to the audience.
The bottom line is this: game companies have incentive for making money first. Game devs rarely care about giving lgbtq people a character that has an experience that the audience can empathize with. The audience that includes cishet people, because when everyone empathizing with fictional lgbtq characters, that’s what gives us “representation”. Because that’s what that actually means. Representation is about speading stories about our experiences being lgbtq to help other lgbtq people know that they aren’t alone, and also that it’s not a bad thing to be lgbtq. Playersexual characters don’t acknowledge that experience in their narrative, they aren’t representation.
And I real human being doesn’t need to tell you their sexuality. An actual gay or bisexual person doesn’t need to disclose anything about their past to “prove” their gay or bisexual. That’s because it’s an invasion of privacy, and when someone does tell you these things its because they trust you. It’s why “coming out of the closet” is something that exists. We are NOT entitled to know these things, yet everyone is assumed straight because that’s what is expected, so telling someone these things is an act of trust. But when it comes to fictional characters, there’s never that invasion of privacy. There’s no need to respect their boundaries, because as an omniscient audience we’re able to see different, imaginary perspectives. A game developer can always give us a clear indication of a character’s sexuality, and they can even do it without the characters stating it (although they should because that helps normalize people talking about their sexuality). It never has to be obfuscated or ignored. If it is obfuscated in some way, it’s because it’s the game developers’ intention. They don’t want to make a character’s sexuality clear and therefore, don’t actually care about lgbtq people.
So you play a videogame. There’s a character who admits they have feelings for the player. This character never talks about the gender of your character when it comes to the relationship. The character also, interestingly enough, never talks about a history of relationships with the same gender or mentions their attraction to the same gender. Even if they do, it’s a one off comment, innuendo, and/or never a full admission, something small that can be missed and ignored without deeper thought. (Also using correct pronouns isn’t acknowledging you’re in a relationship with someone who’s the same gender btw, it’s just common fucking courtesy).
The only way you ever even know that the character even is willing to date the same gender is if your character is there, and willing to date them. If your player character didn’t exist, you would never know this character dates the same gender. It’s schrodinger's bisexuality! The npc’s sexuality is not there unless you, the player, make it a part of your story. It doesn’t belong to the character. I hope that makes sense, because in the end the player is doing all the work for the writers. I also find it extremely unrealistic that in these situations, the characters are in serious romantic/sexual relationships and never talk about their history with dating the same gender, even casually.
What truly makes me sad though is how fandom, especially other bi people, will claim playersexuality as legitimate bisexual representation. It’s truly depressing that videogame writers have been able to find this loophole, use it, and abuse it. It gives game companies, that absolutely do not care about actually representing lgbtq people in their stories, credit where no credit is due. Of course I’m not trying to go after bi fans, and they aren’t wrong to claim these characters are bisexual, because that’s the whole point of calling it schrodinger's bisexuality. I personally don’t think infighting with other fans about whether a character is actually bisexual or not will get anyone anything except a migraine. What I do think, is people should be more critical about how videogame companies are presenting sexuality in their stories, and focus on criticizing that.
Edit: On a personal note, I also hate fandom using playersexuality to try to say the character’s sexuality is up for “interpretation” so they “headcanon” said character as straight or gay. That’s just biphobic. But, when trans/bi/gay people are talking about playersexuality, it’s usually from a more constructive outlook, where we just want the game studios to be held more accountable for erasure. This is also why I prefer the term “schrodinger's bisexuality”. Bisexual when you want them to be, not bisexual when you don’t want them to be.
I know people want the comfort, the ease, and the simplicity that playersexuality brings. I know it’s been used in games for years, and at one time it was the only queer content and representation games had. But times are changing, and game companies need to change. We need actual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans characters, not a schrodinger's bisexuality. If you allow anyone and everyone to be able to romance any character regardless of gender, then you don’t have to worry about straight players being mad a character they want to romance is gay, or lgbt players being upset a character is straight.
Continuing to use playersexuality isn’t an “everyone’s happy” solution to people asking for more gay/bi characters in videogames. It’s obvious this has everything to do with money, since it’s making games viable for a wider audience and not actually giving queer people representation. It’s also painfully obvious when you have so much undeniable m/f that is central to the story.
I know game studios aren't a monolith. I know developing a game is usually convoluted and rarely linear. I also know it’s a company, and there are “layers” of writing, and things tend to go through a grind before they get green-lite. I know there’s never a singular person making decisions how character’s sexuality are depicted, and theres always more going on behind doors we may never know. Maybe game studios using playersexuality are trying to depict more lgbtq representation and some “big man” up top wont let them. But I highly doubt it, and think it has to do with marketability, because this is a product that is on the market.
Tumblr media
TL; DR: I’m an annoying transgenderer who’s entitled and believes videogames should cater to me. Making companions/npcs playersexual, especially all of them, is a horrible, lazy, homophobic, and biphobic writing decision. Game companies don’t care about lgbtq people. Support lgbtq people, help donate to lgbtq content creators when you can, and help lgbtq people in fandom feel safe.
Aka Donate to my ko-fi lol
