I check in on Reddit once in a while to gauge where the "general audience" is at with certain things, including shipping. Unsurprisingly, the majority of subredditors don't see Lokius as having any validity.

I mulled over why this is, and I've come to the conclusion that, as a society, we are very bad at understanding that the human experience is a fluid continuum. We get so bogged down with labels and separating things by those labels that we don't consider the fact that those labels are in and of themselves social constructs.

This may be why so many people have trouble wrapping their minds around being trans, gender fluidity, romantic friendships, gray asexuality--essentially anything that can be in flux. Ironic, since our lives are always in flux.

To tie this back to Lokius and shipping in general, heteronormative media relies on oblique cues for romance: falling onto a mattress, facing one another across a low-lit table and speaking in hushed voices, sharing a blanket, a kiss.

But the queer experience has been oppressed for so long that a heteronormative audience doesn't know how to look for queer romantic cues that are not overt (physically or verbally), and they don't know how to look for those cues precisely because they've never had to be hidden. They never lived that experience.

And this bias inevitably leads to the logical fallacy that heterosexual friends can absolutely fall in love, but two men who started out as friends shouldn't (read: "can't") fall in love because "friends and lovers are two different things".

Really? So by that definition, my lover can't also my friend? What?

"Why can't they just be friends?" That question signals the fear of men being mistaken as gay when showing another man affection. This fear doesn't really happen between women. At least, not often. I have yet to meet a woman who was offended for being mistaken as their best friend's lover.

This means that our media needs a queer male character who has BOTH a male romantic partner AND cis-straight male friends to show both can (and does) happen concurrently.

Gah, the rigidness of social constructs is worse than duct tape.

bad news, i found a new stevetony thing to be emotional about :'(

tony is the only one who's even remotely keeping it together when the avengers are processing natasha's death- that moment was tough on steve to the point where he couldn't make eye contact with anyone and had a hard time getting words out:

tony asks steve so gently if natasha had any family and steve says "yeah, us." thor is in denial that natasha is dead, he can't accept that she's only been gone a minute and they're already treating her like she's never coming back, and he's looking back and forth between both of them, confronting both of them about it:

and tony was originally sitting with steve, facing towards him, but then he gets up so that thor's attention is on him and not steve:

and when thor looks to steve about using the stones to bring natasha back and specifically calls him cap, tony is literally standing in the way between them and not budging an inch, shielding steve and carving out a small space for him where he can just process his heartbreak:

PROTECTIVE TONYYY

why tony is never beating the favouritism allegations

1. steve gets the first cup of coffee even though he's literally standing the furthest away

2. only steve gets a present

3. to scott: oh am i repeating myself? am i???? pissant. this plan does not involve you to steve: honey i have an idea, do you trust me sweetheart, it's your call baby

4. *gets back from 1970* *immediately and i mean IMMEDIATELY checks to make sure that steve is still standing next to him*
