one day some of you will actually go outside and go to pride and you’re going to meet old black queens who refers to themselves as femme, you’ll meet people from small towns who still use the word transsexual, you’ll see that your local activist organization set up a stall about your local LGBT history that includes leather bar’s history, you’ll see lesbians in groups refer to themselves as “guys” and “boys”, you’ll see someone with breasts and pasties and little else have “he / him” painted on his chest, and you’ll be so caught up with your terminally online attitude that instead of appreciating the wide diversity of people who exist in the LGBT community who are brave enough to share themselves you’ll just be formulating posts and tweets in your head for when get home about how “problematic” it all was and it’s honestly tragic
dang idk. I’m kind of a Taylor Stan and I REALLY didn’t want her to get with buck. like not even because I ship buddie, but because I love that a character on actual television was like “I know we could date, I know we think the others attractive, but IM not interested right now and YOU have to respect that”. having that kind of vibe and that conversation would have been so AWESOME!! to see a strong woman like Taylor explain that she wants to be just friends and care for her friend and WANTS to spend time with her friend and that said friend is a GUY and it DOESNT HAVE TO BE ROMANTIC would have been really cool. and honestly, I didn’t see the switch from Taylor not wanting to date to buck, to wanting to date buck. like, I don’t understand when she became okay with it. and I feel like rushing her like this when she so clearly knew what she wanted before, and not giving her a CLEAR ARC to show us how her feelings about the situation had changed and progressed is a DISSERVICE to her character. i can say confidently that I’d be all for buck and Taylor if I could SEE her contemplating going from a friendship to a romantic relationship more deeply, knowing that she feels deeply about keeping a friendship with buck anyway, but I feel like we just didn’t get that. I might just be misreading tho who knows.
I told my friend about the legal guardian thing and how buddie ISNT TOGETHER and she was like “ah yes, the not gay co-parents, right out of the spn handbook” and I literally threw up
“U gotta a minute BRO ? I need to tell u that ur not expendable AT ALL and should stop thinking that way because u were 2 seconds away from being the legal guardian of my kid. okay thanks good talk FRIEND, let’s head out PAL ❤️”
