if you have time, please watch the japanese drama 恋せぬふたり (koisenu futari; the two people who can’t fall in love) which focuses on two aroace characters
Sakuko finds it difficult to live in a society which operates under the assumption that people will fall in love with each other. She meets supermarket employee Takahashi when she goes to support a "fall-in-love" campaign by her junior at work. She is startled when she hears him say that there are people who don't fall in love. As Sakuko's mother keeps hurrying her to get married, she decides to move out and rent an apartment with her friend but her friend backs out at the last minute after reconciling with her ex-boyfriend. Just when Sakuko is about to give up, she ends up living with Takahashi under one roof because of their similar values towards romance.

One thing I truly adore about Palia is the polyamory and general queerness. It's so nice that we can romance everyone so we don't miss any plots or items, but also its nice as a poly-queer person to see some representation in a game.
There is no jealousy. There is no hateful or painful breakups (as I understand it, if you break-up it is not mentioned and you restart the romance plot-line). No one makes negative comments about two pins or switching out pins.
It's so nice to see positive rep in a game and honestly such a breath of fresh air.

One thing I love about mutant mayhem is that Leo has a crush on an April who’s not conventionally attractive. It almost feels like, because of the turtles’ isolated upbringing* he hasn’t been influenced by the popular western beauty ideals and just thinks this ordinary human is beautiful! And I think that’s really cool! Because she is!
*though they’ve clearly been exposed to celebrities and other pop culture so ?? idk lol

i think i’ve learned a lot when it comes to not applying my own values to the media i consume
for my script analysis class yesterday, we discussed two gentleman from verona, and nearly every classmate of mine was up in arms about how sexist the story is.
and i'm not saying it's not, or that it's not infuriating to read. but i'm also not putting my energy into getting upset about something written 500 or so years ago. and i'm not about to put my own beliefs onto these characters that are not me. i'm going to let their choices speak for themselves, and interpret it in the context of the story.
all that said, this now brings me to the point of alastor in episode 5, and how viscerally people are responding to it. those of you up in arms about the choices he’s making, and the violent threat he gave husk, you’re missing the entire point of his character, of this place they’re in, of the story being told. he’s an overlord, and he became an overlord by killing much bigger overlords and broadcasting their deaths over the radio.
HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.
if you started this show with the belief that every character working the hotel is a good person, you’re in the wrong place. watch the good place if you’re looking for a good wholesome story about getting dead sinners into heaven, because that’s not what this show is about.
you’re more than welcome to hate him after seeing the way he exerted power over a being whose soul he owns, but you’re doing the media you’re watching a disservice by writing it off so quickly. if you don’t like to be uncomfortable watching media, watch something else. this is an uncomfortable show, it handles uncomfortable topics, and it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride, and if you’re not up for something like that, then you should take a break from it and pick up something else. you don’t have to get online and defend your own ideals while you watch a show that goes against your ideals.
#hazbin hotel spoilers#that’s not even touching on the fact that husk was an overlord too#he also owned souls that he used as currency to supply his gambling addiction#he’s also not a good person!!#the majority of these characters are in hell for a reason: they’re not good people#i quite frankly love the way this show blurs the lines between good and evil#our heroes are sinners and overlords and demons. while the enemies are angels. but that doesn’t mean our heroes are good people.#you HAAAVE to come to terms with that!! you have to stop seeing the world in black and white or you’re not going to survive this world#if you’re upset because alastor was cruel to husk fine! be upset! but explore why you’re taking yourself out of that world.#in this world sinners own other people. there’s no ifs ands or buts#‘oh alastor is a poc why would he own people’ he was a serial killer when he was alive do you really think you can apply your values to that#(and this is me speaking as a poc. specifically a mixed race poc.)#i cannot speak to who vivzie is as a person. but i’m interested in the message she’s writing and thus far i’m finding it compelling#it’s a similar story as the good place but it’s going the distance to explore even worse people than those in the good place#i don’t think it’s responsible to write something off just because unsavory things happen in it.#and she’s giving us so many different types of representation that don’t involve race (although we’re also getting a lot of hispanic rep)#just like cool your jets and maybe process some of the anger you’re feeling. and maybe nothing will change.#but if you act. instead of react. if you understand why you’re feeling some type of way and then make a choice.#that’s so much stronger and more responsible than reacting and not thinking anything through#hazbin hotel#alastor#husk#hazbin alastor#hazbin husk#anyway let me get off my soapbox#long post

the most unrealistic thing about blue lock isn’t the secret ultra high tech facility or that they ripped away 300 kids from finishing their high school education or that earphones that can translate different languages accurately and in real time exist and no one is losing their minds over it (hello?????) it’s none of that because hands down the most unrealistic thing about blue lock is that arjyu jyubei has the most luscious, longest hair known to mankind and yet he never fucking ties it up when he plays??? like my man do you even SEE what’s going on PROBABLY NOT insane i’m going mad over this someone give this man a hair tie immediately how does he function with all that rapunzelean hair in his face at all times impossible.

PJO: we need to recognize the value of the minor gods. The Olympians are important, sure, but the minor gods do a lot of work in maintaining and assisting the pantheon, have their own kids and deserve to be seen and valued just as much
HoO: Back at it again with Olympian-only nonsense!

Sapphic Angst Fest: Middle aged Lesbian ship - Berena
Tumblr media
So, anyone out there who is looking for a middle aged wlw ship, have you seen Berena?
It was on Holby City a few years back, was a recurring storyline for years. It had everything: longing glances, friends to lovers, breaking up, getting back together, KISSES!, long distance romance, ARM WRESTLING!, and Doctor Who’s Kate Lethbridge-Stewart -Jemma Redgrave!!!!!! And it was the origin of one of my favorite phrases of all time: “sapphic angst fest”.
There are a decent number of vids of the show up on YouTube, I think you can probably piece together most of the story, and there are lots of fanvids. I was able to watch almost all of the actual show on YouTube while it was airing.
It was SO EXCITING to see that representation at the time, from 2 amazing actors - Jemma and Catherine Russell.

i absolutely love how the devs portray reth and his relationship with tish. i feel like so often in media we see siblings hate each other when one of them was sick/disabled/otherwise needed more care, and i do understand why this is common and important to see, but i also love that their relationship Isn't like that. reth still loves, appreciates, and wants to protect tish. he's also not completely overprotective either. he just. loves his sister! and wants to see her happy! and it would've been so easy for the devs to make him spiteful or envious of her but instead they made him a good brother which is So refreshing to see. i love that they have a good relationship with each other
i just,,, reth <3

i'm pretty tired so idk if this will make sense, but as a lesbian fan of our flag means death, i have to say i don't like this trend of people demanding "lesbian pirates" in season 2 with no other context or reasoning aside from checking off another box on the representation checklist. saying "this story has gay men in it, so it needs to have lesbians too" just feels so cheap and disingenuous, as if the show's foremost purpose is to be a one-stop shop for all LGBTQ representation ever, or as if "lesbian representation" is a trope that can be tacked on as an afterthought, regardless of the story's greater context.
like, if there are lesbian pirates in S2, then great, but if OFMD continues primarily as a gay love story between two men and exploration of different ways to be a man, then that'll still be amazing and revolutionary, even if there are no lesbians.

Can someone who is well-versed in Witcher lore confirm or deny whether Geralt has albinism? He is listed on the wiki page for characters with albinsim, but seeing as every character with albinism that I know of isnt included, I dont trust the list very much…

no bc like. we get a queer show. we get a queer show and it's openly queer. the whole thing. the entire fucking thing. no coding. just straight up queer. and not just gay men. it's not just white gay men.
like.
it's so insane to me this show exists. that we're allowed this. i can't... it almost feels too good to be true. and i've watched it, so it is true. i know it is true i have seen it all with my own eyes.
but i'm so starved for any basic fucking thing that. i just. wow. nonbinary person? ethical non-monogamy? i got? i got to see that? and it's not a bad thing it's not made fun of?
god.
i just... it's so wild that something so simple just can't feel real because nobody else will allow something like this to air.

So why are you so angry at ofmd fans spending money on a billboard but not a word about all the companies next to that billboard doing the same instead of donating that money? Sounds really like youre just hating illogically on a fandom while ignoring the systematic problem of capitalism.
You still eat at Starbucks and McDonalds don't you?

I’m so fucking done with Reddit.
I just saw someone say “friendships exist” and they were frustrated that the Fanon ship that “have no basis in canon” (Elmax/Byler/Ronance) are beating the canon ships.
You ever thought about why?? Maybe they’re better written? Maybe they have more chemistry? more screen time? MAYBE PEOPLE JUST LIKE THEM CAUSE THEY ARE MORE INTERESTING.
“Friendships exist”??? It’s almost as if the main party aren’t friends. It’s almost as if people can’t be friends and be in a romantic relationship? It’s almost as if the healthiest romantic relationships start with intimate friendships??
Its almost as if Robin and Steve aren’t friends, Mike and Lucas aren’t friends, Mike and Dustin aren’t friends, Will and Lucas aren’t friends, all four of them aren’t 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴. Who hug and express their affections for each other often. 𝘐𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘔𝘢𝘹 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.
Let’s just erase all of that to yell at queer people to not erase friendships.
𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
