#ugh gay people these days

[finn0cchio]

aang: if we knew each other back then, do you think we could have been friends too?

zuko:

aang: what?

zuko: just friends?

aang: ...yes? I don't get what's happening right now...

zuko, scoffing: I thought I was special. I thought we had something.

aang: you literally try to kill me every chance you get. How is that having "something"?

zuko: well excuse me if I don't know how to flirt back. Unbelievable this guy.

#they're aged up #THEYRE ALWAYS AGED UP WHEN I USE THE ATLA TIMELINE #atla #avatar the last airbender #atla zuko #atla aang #zukaang #unbelievable the audacity of that bald guy #like... not everyone can flirt without threatening your life #ugh gay people these days #text post #incorrect zukaang quotes #do these things count as incorrect quotes? #i don't really care lol

go on, now, get moving. you loved her in the past tense, you need to stay upright and fighting.

all of time and space! all of the wide expanse of the world! the way that you could open your palm and have more. the way you have never wanted more.

when you leave, don't shudder. we all know you love her the entire ride home.

a joke without a punchline: you would have fed her your whole arm if it meant giving her a hand. you have so much to do! you are so young and beautiful! you never make eye contact with the mirror. what is missing from you would be curled around your iris. black and gold; the snakebite proof something is broken down the bone. tuck yourself into sleep. cover the holes. all of time and space.

without her, it will always feel alone.

Heyyy, I'm gonna be turning off anon asks for a bit. I think one of my posts where I talk about how refreshing OFMD is for me as a poc got screenshotted or something and I'm just getting a lot of nasty asks about it and I just don't have time for that.

And I've just had a lot of people come into my askbox demanding to know what my race is since I just identify myself as "not White" or as a poc most of the time, and I thought this could maybe be a teachable moment. Some people have been using the fact that I speak Hebrew/Yiddish as my first languages to insist that I must ""really"" be White and dear lord if you think that I just want you to examine why you're so insistent that Jews have to be white.

I usually just identify myself as "not White" online because I'm mixed, several non-White races. My family is mostly Ethiopian Jewish. Most Ethiopian Jewish families like mine moved to Israel in the twentieth century, my family did in the 1950s and mostly later moved to the US but we still speak Hebrew. It is not fucking weird to be a Black guy who speaks Hebrew as a first language and the fact that some people think that is a big part of why I choose not to elaborate on my race in the first place.

Anyway. Just, like, if you feel the need to harrass some random poc on the Internet until they tell you their exact racial makeup you need to do some self-reflection about that because it is, first, none of your business, and also just a wildly racist thing to do to someone because they said they found a TV show to have great representation.

#ugh. sorry if i sound angry this has just been a frustrating day. #and i'm okay! i've blocked the people who've been nasty! i just like to come on here to have fun so i'm turning anon off for a bit #because i do not have time to deal with this when i could be having fun talking about my gay pirate show

hey guys am i allowed to say on main that i dont like metadad . am i gonna get beaten up for saying this.

guys i think we all took the term found family too literally and now everythings flattened into a boring nuclear family. guys can we stop. hello . is anybody there

get someone who looks at you the way scott thompson looks over at me while i'm filming behind the scenes for the buddy cole documentary

#(megaphone) THIS MEME IS MEANT IN THE PLATONIC SENSE GET YOURSELF AN OLD GAY MALE BESTIE #now that that's out of the way oh my god i'm rewatching the videos i got backstage at the pittsburgh show #and holy shit there are so many adorable moments i didn't even notice at the time bc i was just processing everything going on #but like for example when scott's walking off the stage after his set you can see the exact moment he sees me backstage #or when we're chatting about comedy in a group of people later and i start speaking he always looks so interested in what i'm saying #before we started production we were going back and forth about whether this should be fly-on-the-wall style or if i would be part of it #and at this point i'm so glad we decided i could be in it bc honestly it would be hard for me to not be part of this story #just bc of how the fact that it's me‚ specifically‚ filming impacts scott so much it's wild #all the way down to me saying something in conversation and him looking off to the side of the camera (where i am) #as though i'm saying the most important thing he's heard all day #ugh i miss scott i can't wait to see him again exactly 3 weeks from now

Can people ever be like. Normal about shipping for once?

Are we not just having fun with stories and story potential anymore? Making the blorbos kiss and have drama for fun?

Why are so many people treating it like existing in a constant state of war with strangers whose preferences and opinions just happen to differ from ours is part of the package when there's honestly no fucking need for any of it

#Both haters and shippers frustrate me in basically any fandom I touch these days #The people who get all uppity about canonicity in both directions #The crosstagging of hate into the main ship tags and imposing with headcanons and preferences in other ships' spaces #The harassment and gatekeeping and pettiness of it all #The elitism of gay ships and how any and every inclination of a het ship gets the sibling or mlm + wlw besties trestment #And how people who do ship het ships anyways get treated either with pity and “come over to the good side and like my gay ship with me” #Or outright harassment for made up nonsense reasons #The way a lot of gay ships get sanitized to shit also saddens me bc it removes so much complexity and appeal for me #The misogyny and the racism and the wokescold nonsense that simmers beneath so many ship-heavy fandoms #The way “ugh just let characters remain friends” is always applied with so much selectiveness and petty bias #Why can't people just tag their shit right so that nobody's stepping on anyone's toes #The pettiness and call out posting and witch hunting and cross-tagging just to start beef... I hate it. #Y'all need to chill tf out #chubs rambles #It's not that deep

[velvet-games]

oh shit I almost forgot about my pride month traditions! time to watch gay horror movies and finally post something on my instagram

#if you have queer movie recs PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME #I love when gay people exist in media #velvet rambles #ugh I was in a big city a couple days ago where there was a bunch of cool pride stuff #but I was with my homophobic mom so I was literally that spongebob meme where squidward looks out the window in jealous agony

[epicdogymoment]

once again rubbed the wrong way by friends who unintentionally reveal that they dont really engage with my masculinity in any real way and see me as nonbinary (female-lite)

#leologisms #...................i need more trans friends. in real life #its so frustrating. your gay friends knowing youre transgender but still being able to tell that yeah. they really do just see you as #female-lite. and pushing back by overcorrecting the other way. but im NOT a trans man! and im not a woman either! and the label #nonbinary doesnt fit me even if other people might understand my identity best as under that label. im just transgender. none of #your business. but hearing people say 'well thats why you dont date men' and 'ugh i hate men' etc while i KNOW what they mean #the fact that theyre ok just saying that around me. TO me. a bisexual transgender. feels so bad. #not only am i not masculine in their eyes theyre also telling me that to them masculinity is inherently. dirty. dangerous. but thank god IM #not like that right? hahaha!!!!! thank god i would never be attracted to masculinity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #.........god. anyway. the thing that prompted this happened a few days ago now and it was just a throwaway comment #but my awful brain loves latching onto those. so whatever.

We issue marriage licenses at my work and I only remember to congratulate the gay couples whoops

#like I see 6 weddings a day so great for them. but I only see a gay couple like every other week and I have to celebrate! #i also had a young trans kid come in about getting his birth certificate with his mom to get a new one issued with his correct name and ugh #love that part of my job #he was so excited and very polite. called me maam #ramblings #I’m not out in any way at work bc pretty conservative area and I just don’t have the will to deal with people but some people def know #i have gushed about to many women in front of them

I feel like people don’t get the point of gender bending anymore. I’ve probably talked about this before but like… way back when it was done because there were so few girl focused shows or cartoons or anything. Girls had the ‘token female’ on hero teams or in line ups. There were no strong girl characters. So girls took the male ones and made them girls.

Yeah I won’t lie: some of it became not all that clean, but like… it was HOW we got our girls.

As time went on it changed a bit (not a whole lot but a bit) and then… I dunno. I think people stopped being like mentally critical of the characters when they were GB. I remember this one post years ago talking about how nothing would change if Naruto was a girl and I howled with laughter. Cause it would: a LOT. Culturally, emotionally and hormonaly, things would change for Naruto. Pranks wouldn’t be as acceptable, she would be pressured to fit in with the girls, I can see her going through a phase like Sakure and the other girls since apparently this is common for Japanese girls- it’s endless.

People are shaped by their experiences and beliefs and how people treat them. A girl would not get the same treatment as a boy would in most situations.

But we do have people just slapping a pronoun and name change on. And it’s annoying.

I’m not saying they’d become completely different characters. Izuku would still be into analysis as a girl, Naruto would still be mischievous, Harry Potter would still be a sporty kid, Percy Jackson would still be terrifying. It’s just that a lot of other things would change and their relationships would be different. And it makes me sad no one explores that.

And I think it’s why we’ve ended up with people going: gender bending is only used to make gay ships straight.

I mean… not completely wrong. It happens, I’ve seen it. It’s annoying as fuck to. (I forgive the… adult versions. I’m avoiding the word since I know it’ll vanish on mobile. But ya’ll know what I mean if you are old enough. Those ones were made for one reason.) But that’s not what gender bending is about. It’s about exploring and creativity and… now I’m just making myself sad. I miss the really good explorations of it all, when people sat down and wondered what would change and what would happen.

#gender bending #rant time #I’m tired time #I don’t wanna go to fucking work tomorrow #last two days of full time #then back to school #uuuuugh #part of this was inspired by people going why you make him a girl #and a tiktok about how GB is used to make gay ships straight #ugh #tired
