#YELLING ABOUT QUEER POLY THINGS
I am prepared to pay any amount of money for a Leverage: Redemption scene that’s just Breanna explaining what Polyamory/Ethical Non-Monogamy means to the team (for a job, she swears), with the caveat that these have to be their exact reactions:
Harry: visibly surprised/bemused, but in the same “ok cool, I guess this is a thing now” vibe he has when he discovers a new humanly impossible thing the team is capable of.
Sophie: Keeps staring fondly into the middle distance, clearly reminiscing about SOMETHING. Makes a few comments like “that was the part my 5th husband never understood,” or (coyly) “oh I didn’t know there was a word for that.” At one point she starts a sentence with “You know Nate and Sterling…” But doesn’t get to finish because everyone is yelling and making disgusted noises.
Parker: Extremely focused on the presentation, actively taking notes. Has the exact same expression she uses while picking a lock or planning a heist. After Breanna’s done speaking she looks directly at Eliot, starts to say something, and then sees Hardison shaking his head frantically behind him, so just shrugs and says “cool. Got it.” and adds it to her Human Behavior Flow Chart.
Hardison: nodding along encouragingly but lowkey paying WAY more attention to everyone’s (Eliot/Parker’s) reactions This is clearly not the first time Breanna has given him this spiel, but he has apparently never shared the info with the team.
(The next two are edits because I changed my mind. Sorry if you saw this before the edits lmao)
Eliot: Gets defensive-angry-flustered in the exact same way he did when he kept insisting that video games aren’t a sport. Eliot is very open-minded and caring, but he’s also a 50 year old white dude raised to be good old southern boy. Literally says “That’s not how relationships WORK, Breanna. Relationships aren’t… they’re SUPPOSED to be between….”
Breanna: is deeply unimpressed but also unsurprised by Eliot’s reaction. Low key planned this talk specifically for Eliot lbr. “No, no. Please finish that thought Eliot. Relationships are supposed to be what??? Between one one man and one woman?” *raises eyebrow with the queer glare of shame*
The conclusion of the episode is the team screwing over an asshole that was hate-crime-ing a poly group for financial reasons. Then as they hang out with the folks they saved, getting to know them and having a drink etc., the camera zooms in on Eliot who glances over at Parker and Hardison laughing at something, a thoughtful look on his face. Breanna and Sophie exchange a knowing smile while Harry looks confused but happy to be there.
Fin.

I’ve binge watched the entirety of the bastard son & the devil himself in a day because in the spirit of Halloween school has beaten me to a bloody pulp, and I am now a firm believer that the lead of every fantasy series should be black and sexually fluid and have multiple love interests and possibly a poly relationship. We should get a million more Nathan Byrns. Because even when I wasn’t on Nathans side, I was on Nathans side. Like when Annalise was yelling at him about how much she got his situation and what it felt like, even though I was shocked by his outburst, all I could think was no... you never will. Because Nathan and his dad have been dehumanized (even by a good portion of the blood witches but I won’t get into that) and treated badly for YEARS and nobody’s said anything. I saw someone use the word policing when describing what is done to Nathan and they were genius for that because the intricacies of the inherent discrimination that comes from a system where one thing is good and the other is bad and should be eradicated SHOULD BE EXPLORED THROUGH THE EYES OF A QUEER PERSON OF COLOR. Sorry for yelling and stating the obvious but people of color getting to star in fantasy shows is my jam. Netflix is really targeting this market for some reason right now (rip First Kill).
Anyway, I also just love a character that’s a jerk with a heart of gold and Annalise, Gabriel, and Nathan are all varying degrees of that. I personally believe the only reason they aren’t dead is because their combined charm gets them anywhere and everywhere. Even though they are incredibly frustrating, they are all just so easy to root for. 
It’s going to really hurt me if this show gets canceled.

Give me the does and don'ts of your ships
yes yes ofc!!! here u go
(edit¹: added some more stuff!)
My boundaries on my canon x canon ships in general (2trenchcoat, BobTord and 2004 TomTord)
You can do:
Romantic Ship art;
Platonic ship art;
Queer-platonic ship art;
Poly ships are fine too!!;
Headcanons (specially hcs that are not the same as mine!!! i will love to see that :] );
Fanchildren;
Put the ship in your AUs (as long as you credit me for the ship);
NSFW, but with some conditions (more about it in the "you can't do" list!);
Write fanfics, but also with some conditions (more about it in the "you can't do" list!).
Joke/satire art, with some conditions (more in the "you can't do" list);
Give your opinion or criticism about the ships (more in the "you can't do" list).
You CAN'T do:
Turn the ship into proshipping (like depict them as abusive, as l0l1 or sh0ta, etc);
Draw proshipping NSFW art, such as l0li/sh0ta, n0n/dub-con, or generally weird stuff. if ur NSFW art doesn't count as any of those, then it should be fine, but be sure to clarify that the Teen hc is not canon to your art and hc as well!;
Write proshipping fanfics (same as the NSFW thing above. if ur not weird, then ur fine);
Like the ship while being a TomTord Anti/thinking that "TomTord is ab//s//ve or t//x//c" (this mostly counts for 2trenchcoat and BobTord shippers. I don't trust u and i don't want u around me if ur like that, UNLESS you ACTUALLY respect TomTord shippers and won't yell at them for shipping it);
Make offensive satire/joke art (arts referencing g//re videos, attacking or bashing the ship or the shippers, etc);
Give offensive criticism about the ships (attacking the ship/the shippers or saying that "your ship is better than this" are examples or this);
Weird stuff in general.
And now
My boundaries in my OC x Canon, HentaiGoddess/Cherry x 2004 Tord:
Most of it are the same as above, BUT ONLY ONE THING:
Please don't do:
Romantic ship art with Cherry and Tord (Cherry is aromantic, Tord is gay and they're just queer-platonic partners).
And here's the last one:
My boundaries on Ricky, Randall and my other fanchildren as well:
Please don't do NSFW art of them, cuz they're MINORS (unless it's the Henry Stickmin ones, cuz they're adults);
Shipping is fine, as long as you ask me which ones i'm fine with it!! (EX: I'm fine with Ello Stickmin Calvin x Yuri Curtis, but i'm NOT fine with Heart Son/David x Ricky);
Don't add my fanchildren (SPECIALLY RICKY) on TomEdd/TordMatt scenarios (both the ships themselves makes me uncomfortable and i wouldn't like to see Ricky in those scenarios);
Anything else is mostly the same as above lol
That's all i could think for now!! If u have any questions about my boundaries, please don't be afraid to ask!! I will be answering it :]

YES YES YES
I can imagine them in Ian's room they just wanted a lil smooch but now their struggling against each other trying to separate their braces and because i feel like he doesn't knock Jean just barges in to yell at Ian about something (nothing new) and he just....witnesses that and jean learned two things that day
1 Ian has a boyfriend
And 2...ian had said boyfriend in the house WHEN JEAN SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM HE COULDNT HAVE FRIENDS OVER-
And tbh my orginal idea was a poly ship with the 4 of them but i like this more-
Sweets🍭
Oh I'm always a sucker for poly ships!! But something about Ian/Nick specifically is so funny to me.
I feel like Ian has a weird irrational fear that Jean might disown him if he finds out he's queer? Yes Jean is married to Joseph. Yes he's bisexual. Yes he's very open about it with Ian. Yes Ian still for some reason thinks Jean might kick him out for having a boyfriend.
Jean is just livid that Ian didn't tell him about this!! Where did he go wrong? Why doesn't his baby trust him anymore? How could he miss such a big milestone? He's sobbing into his drink while Joseph tries to console him.
Meanwhile Ian is absolutely mortified by the whole experience and is sniffling and crying while he asks Nick if this means he doesn't want to be his boyfriend anymore.
Nick just grabs some pliers, pulls out his braces wire, and kisses Ian again.

Drabble: Jack Nelson sets you up with Ada Thorne.
Tumblr media
Dynamics: wlw!Ada Thorne x wlw!Reader, Jack Nelson & Reader Friendship
Summary: You are a close friend of Jack Nelson. When he admits that he has feelings for you, you come out him you come out to him as queer/pan/bi with a preference for women. He introduces you to his friend Ada Thorne who he thinks you’d get along with. 
Author’s Note: I might turn this into a full fic with a wlw!Ada x wlw!reader, or a poly Ada x Reader x Jack
You and your family attend the same church as him and his parents. You started getting breakfast with him after the Sunday morning church service. You talk about your family, politics, books, current events. 
He is impressed by your work ethic and how you and your immigrant parents have carved out life for yourselves just like he has. 
You meet with him regularly, it is clear that he is interested in you. You have some feelings him, but you aren’t exactly sure what they are yet. You also confess to him that while you like men and were attracted to them, you tended to have stronger feelings for women. 
He says “Okay, Doll. If you ever want to explore those feelings with me, just tell me and it’ll happen.”
He thinks that you’d like Ada either as a romantic prospect or a friend so he introduces you two at a party. Immediately you two hit it off, taking and dancing together the entire night. 
Everything is going really well until two guys won’t leave you alone. You give Ada a look, she nods in agreement. You punch one of the guys in the face and she kicks the other one in the balls. 
Jack was paying attention but when he hears one of the guys yell, “you fucking bitches----” he runs over before the guy can even finish his threat. The two men are kicked out and Jack spends the better part of the next thirty minutes apologizing to you two. 
You and Ada appreciated the gesture an apology but let him know that even if he wasn’t there they would have handled the situation. The two guys would be dead on the floor, but the situation would be handled. 
He laughs and remarks that as long as you two have each other, you won’t need a man. 
“Ada, this one over here,” he says about you, “she likes men but prefers the romantic and sexual company of women. What do you think of that?”
You nervously wait for Ada’s reaction and plan to kick Jack in the shin when he stands up. 
Ada takes a sip of her whiskey and says, “I’m mostly been with men. I had a husband but he died a while back. I’m no opposed to being with a woman.”
You sit there awkwardly, not making eye contact with either of them, sipping your drink. Jack rolls his eyes and says, “Ada, I’m sure she’d love it if you two could go out on a date or see each other sometime this week.”
“yes,” you say, “but only if you want to. You don’t have to do it just because Jack says so.” Ada laughs and says not be ridiculous, she’d love to see you again. 
You and Ada start seeing each other every week. You got to parties, museums, rallies, and have nights in. You even meet Karl a few times. 
You still see Jack every week and he’s always asking you how things are going with you two. He always happy to hear that you two are doing well. He knew you’d make a great pair.

More City of Fractured Dreams/Book of Farside Characters
Last batch for the moment (there's thirty characters total for City of Fractured Dreams and this makes 16, so just over half).
We have my favourite May-December poly triad and then Wynne (who I fucking love) and Liv (who might be the only character who is ACTUALLY a bad person through and through).
Enjoy!

46 yr old Undersider
“The King of Underside”
Owner of a powerful bar in the Haze, the lowest level of Underside which is almost always covered in fog and smoke
The defacto leader of Underside due to his massive stature, power, and charisma
Only known berserker with complete control of his berserker rage and form
Is pulled out of his “stand strong but make no moves” stance when he takes in Imani and Matt
Eventually falls in love with Imani and Matt
Has a strong disdain for Liv that keeps her at bay, for the most part
Grumpy, tired, and without much hope for the future
Imani (She/Her) | Queer
26 yr old outsider
A Mistling, someone who can commune with the Mists from the River of Death
Her mother escaped with her from the Order of the Mists
Imani saved Matt from being sacrificed by the Cult of Farside

Somewhat superstitious, though only for her own things
The sort of person that will patch you up and yell at you about it the entire time
Eventually falls for Matthias and Baqir
Carries and practices with a deck of Mist Cards, which are also her primary weapon
Matthias "Matt" (He/Him) | Trans, Queer
25 yr old outsider
Raised by a serial killer who broke both his legs before Matt managed to kill him
He was found and captured by the Cult of Farside
Was saved by Imani, who brought him to Tairkyda
Snarky, defensive, scared, desperate for connection, wants to know he’s cared for
Covers his fear and insecurity with aggressive and defensive “jokes” and humour
Good with his hands and a quick learner
Eventual lover of Imani and Baqir
Has prosthetic legs from above the knee, down. He starts out the story without the prosthetics and his legs still healing
Dr. Olivia "Liv" Laukkanen (She/They) | Trans, Queer
58 yr old Undersider
A mad scientist through and through. Evil laughter, lots of wacky unethical drugs she stabs you with, the works
Is the creator of multiple illegal drugs in Lumira, including Glyss, the most famous
Holding Wynne hostage through unknown means
Holds a deep admiration for Farside and its monsters and magic
A destructive anarchist who often says she only wishes to watch Tairkyda burn beneath her creations
Loves cardigans, hot tea, and kitty cats
Knits cozies for her temperature sensitive creations and their beakers/jars
Wynne (She/Her) | Trans, Queer
49 yr old Undersider
A wolf beastie with dark grey to black gradient ears, tail, and then fangs
Has scars on her face from a past fight she refuses to talk about
Highly knowledgeable about Topside and the Dragonguard
Has been working for Liv for years, for reasons only they know
Perpetually pissed off, mistrusting, scared. Fatalistic humour and a surety that nothing is worth it anymore
Drinks and smokes to cope. It keeps the demons at bay

Honestly about to delete tik tok off my phone and just follow people on tumblr that post funny tik toks because every day i see some new dumbass discourse about "being poly isn't part of the lgbt community" or "a cis man and a afab nonbinary person dating are not in a queer relationship" man shut the fuck up and go hang out with some real people instead of yelling down your internet echo chamber. There are more anti trans laws being passed in the last year than there have been in like forever maybe focus your anger at that instead of who is "queer enough" to count. I just wanna see melon sniffing things not this bullshit

i love ur blog so much I love how fluffy it is and how it’s just a safe space for us ;-; do you have any yujikirsuna or kirisuna brainrot for us? You made me fall in love with those ships :)))))) i also remember u made a post about poly sinon lis and sugu!! Cutest thing ever :)) a win for the poly people
that's the kindest thing anyone could say about my blog, thank you ;-; i just want this place to be safe - especially for queer and neurodivergent sao fans, because we get so much shit from the wider fandom. i'm in a poly fluff mood so here's some headcanons for those guys sdjkfsjdhf
yujikirisuna:
kazuto and asuna both fly into defensive mode when it comes to eugeo bc that's their boyfriend and if anyone messes with him they're gonna be sorry. i mean, he's already died once, they don't wanna lose him again
out of everyone, eugeo finds himself going to asuna the most when he needs comfort for his ptsd. she's the one who's been through something similar and he feels like she's the only one who could begin to understand the guilt he feels about it
since the three of them all struggle with ptsd, they've basically become accustomed to eachother's triggers and panic attacks. they avoid them at all costs, but if something happens they're pretty well trained at what they need to do
eugeo and kazuto like braiding asuna's hair - each of them take one side and then they struggle tying them together
some days they want some one on one time and everyone's more than happy for that. asuna spends the time alone watching movies, eugeo reads books and kazuto sings metal songs in the bathtub (asuna and eugeo came home early from a date one night and overheard him and proceeded to squeal over how adorably dorky he is)
they make use of asuna's giant bathtub a lot. kazuto's the one who originally suggests taking a bath together and the other two are originally embarrassed by the idea, but they come around to it and end up enjoying it - until her parents get home and they have to scramble for an excuse about why their hair is all wet (they didn't believe that it spontaneously rained in the foyer)
sinon/lis/sugu:
when they come out and announce they're dating everyone's super happy for them - even if klein whines on about "it's no fair rika gets two girlfriends and i can't even have one" (lovingly skdjfhsdf)
they have the cutest dates ever. they like going to cafes or going for nice walks or picnics.
rika and shino always show up to suguha's kendo matches to cheer her on and rika's been kicked out for accidentally yelling "that's our girlfriend, fucker" at her opponent. twice.
they cut eachother's hair at home because shino doesn't particularly care to go to hair salons and suguha loves running her fingers through their hair. she can't explain why, it just feels really intimate and cozy and she likes doing it whenever she gets the chance

Oooh I just checked out the description for the Sandman Slim series. It sounds hella fun! xD Could you tell us more? Please feel free to monologue ;)
OKAY
SO
Everyone be grateful for the new long post feature. I personally am very grateful for this very lovely anon who gave me an excuse to monologue at great length.
The reason this took me so long to answer is because I ended up rereading the first book (and most of the second) in the process... (I've lost count of rereads lol)
Reasons I love Sandman Slim:
1. It's this glorious mishmash of genres. I'd loosely categorize the first book as a spaghetti western revenge story set in an LA urban fantasy with angels and demons and a decent chunk of horror. (I love the world building. Some of the Christian theology was inspired by string theory.)
2. The narration isn't my usual style, but it's pretty fun in a lot of ways, because Stark (narrator/main character) is very direct. So his POV is easy to read. There's very few adverbs and a lot of the dialogue has minimal tags. (I'm pretty sure this is because Stark doesn't really have much emotional awareness. But.) Also, Stark's sense of humor is basically mine. Even if I don't get a lot of his references because he really likes obscure movies.
4. Stark is an asshole. Holy shit, he's an asshole. He's a very flawed person. Richard Kadrey (author) describes the series as "a monster learning how to be human" for a reason. Stark comes out of Hell and doesn't know how to not be an asshole. (He wasn't great at it before Hell, but he was also 19, so.) He mostly tries to do the right thing for the people he cares about, but he's incredibly terrible at it. This will make you want to yell at him, but also, if you like a proper antihero? This is a proper antihero. In Hell, they call him the monster who kills monsters. (A defining quote from very early on: "I hate cops and I fucking hate goody-goody hero types, but there is some shit I will not put up with if it happens in front of me.")
5. Stark has a huge case of PTSD (and probably some other stuff, but I don't think that ever gets diagnosed in-world) and it affects every aspect of his life. It affects how he looks at things, how he acts, and how he thinks in ways he doesn't even notice. So... like how PTSD/mental illness actually affects people. Which is so incredibly refreshing to read. And it's well-done/realistic, imo.
Stark has PTSD and is a dick about it for a long time. He refuses to acknowledge his time in Hell was an issue. He has some of the worst coping mechanisms on the planet and they hurt himself and the people around him until he starts accepting help. (Monster learning how to be human!) He can't reconcile who he used to be with who he is after Hell. He's suicidal and/or engaging in self-harming behaviors for large portions of the series. But he gets better.
7. It takes (I think) nine books to explicitly get there, but Stark is queer and he dates a non-binary person. I say explicitly because a) he more or less talks about all genders in the same way, even if he's usually only involved with women, and b) he describes Lucifer as a bad-decision fuck in the second book. I had my suspicions. Also, there's a couple poly relationships throughout. So that's cool. There's never a whole lot of identity conversation because the world is always ending. I love representation that is just. There.
9. They're just... entertaining books with fun characters. There's a zombie-killing Czech porn star. There's a bartender who reacts to a charred-up, scarred-up stranger talking about murder by saying that the potential dead people probably deserve it (Carlos is awesome). There's an angel working for Homeland Security. There's an immortal French alchemist stubbornly refusing to lose his accent. There's an excommunicated sin-eating priest whose sins get eaten in a ritual involving Johnny Cash. I love them all.

misunderstandings shaping my interactions is not a bad thing
I am passionate about things and I enjoy talking about things I am passionate about.
I'll argue for full individual freedom and agency on a night out, yelling so I can be heard over the music, and I'll be labelled a poly right there and there, with all the connotations whatever mind I am speaking to has harboured before that conversation.
If they ask me what I mean instead of assuming it, we have something to go on with.
If I find myself trying to defend my position not against a question of what individual freedom and agency are and to which extent one can claim either or both, but a question of poly ppl screwing up things in general, it's a no go.
I'll argue for my fluidity in gender and orientation, and I'll be labelled a confused cislesbian, with all the connotations whatever mind I am speaking to has harboured before that conversation.
I will entertain the thought bc confusion is a precondition for clarity.
If they ask me to elaborate and perhaps offer their own take on it so we can discuss on an equal footing, we have something to go on with.
But if I find myself trying to defend my position not against a question of how this is perfectly personal, how my fluidity works, and how I can be sure what I want at a given time, but a question of confused ppl hurting others with it, it's a no go.
Same with my asexuality.
Same with my admittedly warped and hodgepodge idea of personal faith and my tangible connection with the divine.
Same with my deliberate opting out of cishet men in the dating pool.
Same with my particular non-adherence to the unwritten rules of queer dating and all the expectations of physical touch that come with it.
Same with my claim to NB finery with a cleavage so deep it can drown you.
And I am fine with all this. This is what my god (me) made me.
I don't care how I am perceived anymore. I just care about being perceived as pure me.
The realisation that I am a complex human being and ppl may shy away from complexities is a damning one, but a liberating one all the same.
I've proven to myself time and time again that I am fine without a crowd and I feel me only when a real and honest mind free from assumptions and presumptions and foregone conclusions and I are curious about each other. When I am curious about ppl I find interesting and their takes worthy of a second look.
(Why aren't other people? That I can't understand.)
I've got big balls and I cannot lie.
Or How I Made Peace with All the Walls I've Put Up Around Me bc They're Loadbearing Walls

Siren - the soft queer poly diverse mermaid show I had never heard of
So I am going to start yelling about Siren because I have seen/heard very little hype for this show and I think a lot of people would like it... here we go. I’m on the 4th episode. You can watch this on Hulu. 
Tumblr media
Would you like to watch a fun kissy mermaid show? Do you love a strong cast of supporting actors from various backgrounds who have been underappreciated by Hollywood? Did you love The Fifth Element’s Leeloo but wish she wasn’t so selectively helpless toward the end?
First warning: some of the acting is Lacking. I will not name names. But it’s important to note that someone VERY wisely decided that if their white male protagonist was not going to be extremely talented at Tones and Expressions, the least they could do would be to take a page from Teen Wolf’s book and make him the softest, goodest boy who drinks his Respects Women Juice with every meal. Ben starts out as a generic American dude but is slowly revealed to be curious, EXTREMELY forgiving, and very empathetic.
Second warning: a lot of the plot reads like fanfic. But ... woke fanfic. Hold on, I can explain: in the first episode, our Everyman is driving down a winding road when he spots a Mysterious Naked Girl stumbling around, lost, who then FAINTS. I think that’s bingo already, right? But here’s the thing - this show embraces a lot of fun cliches but, so far, abandons the problematic shitty ones. Ben, the Everyman? 0% skeeve, 0% male gaze. The helpless moment for the Mysterious Girl? That’s really the last time we see her be defenseless. Even when she’s clearly Lost or Confused, she still keeps her agency, picking up new information and making the most informed decisions she can; she’s also perfectly capable of dealing with anyone who threatens her.
(Which, TW for anyone who does not feel comfortable seeing an attempted rape scene: she takes a ride with a strange guy who seems nice at first, and it goes badly for him. If you want to skip past it, all you need to know is that he tries to take some liberties and she literally eviscerates him and throws him through the windshield. She moves on immediately and clearly has no remorse of any kind about what she did to protect herself.)
Third final warning, pretty mild: the Generic Bad Guy Military is out to experiment on the mermaids! Their facilities are... poorly designed! Their protocols are ... unclear! Their opsec is.... nonexistent??? The actors playing high-ranking military personnel are... not well suited for the parts they’re playing! This warning is really only for people who cringe at lack of trigger discipline in films, or otherwise know just enough about weapons or US Military Stuff to see when something isn’t well researched. But they’re more of a vehicle for plot, and so it’s easy not to sweat it too much.
Now on to the positives. I have many more positives than I do warnings.
The mermaids look fucking rad. I’m sorry, but I’m opening with this. The notes were clearly “realistic, but also gorgeous, and also predatory as fuck.” Look:

For a narrative with so many opportunities for dumb choices, they never Split the Party or Go Investigate That Weird Noise. We’ve got a cast of mostly young adults, none of whom have the full picture of what’s going on, but even the two Cliche Dude Bros have real scenes of discussing their feelings! Working out their misunderstandings! Doing their best to trust each other! It’s extremely refreshing - so far the various tensions aren’t brought on by needless lack of communication or love of drama.
Speaking of lack of drama, I have been holding onto this long enough, they are setting up a poly triad and I am fucking here for it. The two main human protagonists are dating, and work at a marine biology center together. As they learn more about Mysterious Girl together, they both become closer to her. Without spoiling anything major, there have been some scenes that are very clearly laying the groundwork for Clear Consent and Lack of Jealousy - this human couple has a healthy relationship and while plot is definitely happening very constantly and very loudly, there is an undercurrent of, this Mysterious Girl? This extremely pretty, extremely fascinating Mysterious Girl? Seems to like us? Both of us? Her cheekbones are unreal and we don’t know how to deal with this yet? It’s very sweet.
Tumblr media
This show has real parts for extremely underappreciated POC actors. I haven’t seen Fola in anything before, which is criminal, not just because I’m extremely gay for her but because I want to see how her performance changes when she isn’t concentrating on an American accent. Gil Birmingham, who you definitely recognize on sight if not by name, plays her father, a competent (!!) sheriff who is clearly a good man (!!!!) and so far is getting a lot of screen time as he investigates Mysterious Things. You also know Patrick Gallagher, who plays the level-headed local doctor who Can Absolutely Tell Something Is Up. Curtis Lum and Ian Verdun play the dudebros, and Rena Owen plays a local weird lady and gets to use her own accent. Lastly, Sibongile Mlambo plays a Second Mysterious Girl, who is coming into the narrative more as we go on. I’M NOT EVEN NAMING ALL OF THEM. The white people are, off the top of my head, Ben Softboy Protag, his shitty family, and... most of the government folks? Of those, Softboy Protag is the only one with significant screen time.
Tumblr media
And let’s talk interpersonal roles. So far, the show follows Ben the most, but it’s fairly clear so far that the show isn’t interested in establishing him as The Leader. There’s a vague Scooby Gang coming together, only two of whom are white men, and nobody’s taking on a leading role so much as negotiating and discussing what is best in These Mysterious Circumstances. I have so far gotten no Black Best Friend vibes and I am hopeful moving forward.
Also, not much is made of the fact that Ben is dating a WOC. His mom has made one shitty comment about how he always liked the ‘wild’ ones, but it’s unclear if that’s because Maddie... has tattoos? Isn’t rich? The mom is clearly set up to have shitty opinions, so the line is definitely a reflection on her and not on Maddie or the relationship. Also, and I realize how low this bar is, but: Maddie has Native American ancestry on her father’s side, and this is made clear without any unnecessary mysticism, cliche music in the background, anything. There are points where her knowledge of myths leads to interesting dialogue, but it’s not presented in... you know... that way?
That’s what I have so far. Yeah. Hulu.

Groupchat pt. I
CW// recreational drug use, group sex, poly dynamics, virgin reader, queer reader who uses she/her pronouns and feminine descriptors, intoxicated sex
Tumblr media
It was an interesting group of friends that you had. Well, 'friends' was a stretch, but you had a groupchat. The name was simply 'fuckers' because for some reason Bakugou was allowed to name the chat. You had the same group of stoners you ended up partying with every weekend, getting high off the strongest shit you could buy and letting loose to work off the stress of the week. It was cliche but true, you blew off steam getting high and dancing like a slut-- self care. Somehow it had evolved to more of a four person party that wasn't really a party, but you played music, smoked, and the boys watched you dance while devouring the healthy but tasty food you prepared because when you're high everything tastes 100 times better and you'd been on a restricted diet because of your chronic health issues since you were a teenager. When you'd explained this in the group chat, the most concise response you got was "so you'll cook for us?" Stoners were just your people honestly. Or maybe it was these stoners.
Bakugou mellowed out considerably after a few blunts, and he offered to blow up whoever made you cry the first time you met coming out of a party to smoke after you had a call with your best friend from back home. He'd told you that your dynamic as friends only worked if he was single. You didn't know if you'd ever have another friend like him. And there was Bakugou, offering you a blunt and violence that seemed like just the kind of friendship you craved in that moment.
Shinsou was one of the few people who came to the party simply to find people to smoke with. He rarely talked, but he was really good company you thought. He always brought indica strains-- your personal favorite as well as his you found out. Sometimes you guys talked about how it was cruel to have so many dreams but so little energy to pursue them. Sometimes you guys went back to his place and smoked yourself into a sleepy haze that always ended up in the warmest cuddles you've ever experienced.
Dabi had a viper's tongue and an even worse attitude than Bakugou. But he was cool, you bumped into him at a party when you were looking for another smoker to borrow a light from. You were feeling caustic after a phone call from home. "You got a lighter bro?" He seemed a bit amused by your masculine energy wrapped in a lush femme presenting form, like he was relieved to finally seeing someone interesting. "You look like you got all sorts of daddy issues, why haven't we met before?" His tone was both flirtatious and condescending at the time. "Whatever gave it away?" You snorted as you lit up your blunt, white grape game wrappers. But your tone was flirtatous as well as you handed your blunt to him, "We're meeting now. To shitty dads who deserve to sleep in the bed they made."
Shoto was the anomaly. You saw him around your department, guessing he was an upperclassman in your major. And one day he was at Dabi's place when you all got together to celebrate finally getting an off campus hangout spot. Apparently Dabi was an old friend, kind of like an older brother to Shoto. They definitely had a thing going on, but thinking about it too long made your face burn. His preppy appearance was shattered when he wore a short sleeve shirt instead of his usual button downs, and you saw the traditional japanese tattoos that made a full sleeve in white ink. You also noticed his silver gauges that were almost hidden by his white hair and when he pushed his hair back you saw more piercings on his ears. But when he smoked you under the table you decided you were almost in love.
If you happened to hope that one day at least one of the hot but dumb fuckers you smoked with took the hint of your many personal dance shows and fucked you, that was no one's business but your own.
You worked through the week, bullshitting assignments- but well because you were a fucking genius in your field, and on friday you decided to just wear a bra, shorts and an over shirt to the party with a beanie on your shaved head to complete the look. The pregame was at Shoto and Dabi's place this time, a short walk if you thought about the liquor and weed waiting for you. You weren't prepared for the brisk wind to meet you when you stepped out of your dorm.
"Hoes don't get cold." You chanted under your breath as you started walking. Your construction boots kept your feet warm, but the black booty shorts that were frayed at the edges left your lush thighs and your entire legs exposed to the cold wind. But after a few more minutes of walking you gave up- you weren't a good enough hoe, and you were cold. So you bit the bullet and put into the group chat:
smokerdeepthroat 11:19pm
Someone come pick me up, I'm freezing my literal ass off.
blueflamer 11:22pm
Walk bitch.
boomboi 11:24
Cash gas or ass, you know the drill.
smokerdeepthroat 11:25
Y'all can run a train on my ass if someone just picks me up before I freeze to death.
sleepystoner, icyhot, boomboi, blueflamer | read
Shit. You hadn't actually meant to send that. And of course the one time Shinsou checks the chat had to be now. "Fuckers," you grumbled under your breath. At this point it was almost like calling them your boys in a fond tone, and that thought had you almost puking onto the concrete. The fact that you were blushing was completely irrelevant.
Before you could freak out too much- internally of course, you were not going to be caught simping with one of them on the way to pick you up- you heard the familiar roar of Bakugou's car coming down the street. The bass of his emo ass rock music shook the street and you were climbing into the car before he could yell at you to get your ass inside.
You might have moaned at the heated seats, rubbing your hands over your freezing thighs. "Thanks Bakubro. It's cold as fuck and I was too excited to pregame to bring a jacket."
"A jacket isn't the problem. Your ass is hanging out." His words as usual were followed by a plume of smoke. His crimson eyes trailed over your body and a heated smirk curved his lips. "But that just means easier access for us."
"Y'all dusty ass hoes know I was joking-" You tried to bluff, tried to deflect with bravado as you took the blunt from him. But your hands shook, and Bakugou met your gaze with a quiet intensity that was somehow worse than his explosions.
"You dance like you need a dick in you. And only for us. We waited for you to make your choice, but this is less complicated." Damn it, he was smoking the horny weed. But if you were honest all weed was horny weed to your squad. There was an eroticism in the craving just one more hit. Just one more epic high. Just one more shudder of pleasure, as touching yourself to the thought of the boy's eyes on you when you got back to your dorm was as much a part of your friday night ritual as the weed.
Whenever you started smoking you felt yourself happily descending into hedonism. Bakugou's voice certainly wasn't helping. Your throat was impossibly dry- from the smoke, from desire- as you admitted quietly,
"I'm a virgin." You weren't going to apologize, compromise or argue. It was a statement and he could take it or leave it.
Bakugou wasn't an idiot. But he also was a possessive bastard in a way that made you wet even though you rolled your eyes at it.
"I'll make it good for you when I pop your cherry. I met you first, I'll take you first. I got you." It wasn't a promise, it was confident statement you knew he would stop at nothing to make a reality. His relentlessness was something that drew you to him in the first place if you told yourself the truth. He shifted gears smoothly and rested his warm hand on your bare thigh as he drove you back to the off campus house. You smoked half the blunt listening to his music and getting wet from his hands wandering higher and higher up your thigh.
You walked in to the house and realized how much you'd underestimated how serious Bakugou's words were. It seemed like it was a long time coming when you walked into Dabi's low lit living room to find him with his hand on Shoto's dick, Shoto's hand on his, and Shinsou lazily palming himself.
"It's about time you got here, you can't just drop shit like that in the chat when you're not here to bend over for us." Shoto's white and red hair was a mess, and given that it looked like the two of them were edging each other (sadists), his fucked out face made sense.
"She's a virgin, Icy Hot, you're gonna have to wait. I gotta open her up first." You in the mean time were going to start the music while smoking a bit hurriedly, hoping you were well and truly high before they actually started to run a train on you.
"Play the dick down playlist." Shinsou rasped from the couch and you wanted to cry at the head assery you had to put up with from these morons. (/s) But they're your morons, some lonely part of you whispered.
"It actually better have good music on it." You griped, but yeah, you were feeling the impact of whatever Bakugou had given you to smoke because your words weren't as harsh as you meant them to be.
"I call dibs on her ass cherry." Dabi's low voice cut throat the soft grunts from Shoto.
"Next time." Bakugou muttered watching the way you started to dance, having shed your overshirt to simply dance in your shorts and bra. None of the boys danced with you, a rule you'd had to put in place when they literally started fighting like children over who's turn it was to dance with you. Somehow it hadn't gotten better, these jealous bitches would sulk if you didn't give them all equal attention during your provocative performance. You solved this by closing your eyes and not looking at any of them while you let your body follow the nasty beat of the playlist. Sometimes you murmured lyrics if you remembered them and all four men were enraptured by the sight of you surrounded by smoke and dancing like a ancient goddess that could command them all in an instant.
It was moments like these that made you think maybe you were all a little more than friends by now. More than just groupchat contacts. But friends. Maybe more?
The blunt you finished yourself, until you were light headed and craving more. More music, more bass to move your hips too, maybe something to move your hips against. You didn't hesitate when Bakugou patted his thighs.
In fact, the weed in your system convinced you it only made sense to take your shorts off before straddling him. Better that than having to stop just when you're finally getting what you want right? You forgot you were just wearing some lace boyshorts with pale pink roses framing your luscious curves and dusky skin until you heard;
"Slutty girl." It was a groan as Shoto's grip on Dabi's cock tightened from the view of your fat ass sitting on Bakugou's lap.
"Nah, not yet. She's just needy." Katsuki smirked when you blushed from his words, even as you started grinding down on him in revenge. The choked moan that escaped him and the cocky glare you turned on all of them made all of them crave you that much more.
"You're needy to fuck me too, you all are. Don't forget that, explosion bitch."
"Point made. But watch it, little girl. It's gonna be a long night." His words were low and raspy from smoke, and even thought it should have been a threat your pussy gushed and soaked your panties anyway.
Four pairs of eyes watched your every move, drinking in the sight of you half naked, boldly staking your claim on all of them-- which only made them want to return the favor. Claiming you over and over until you wouldn't deny you belonged to them.
A long night, huh?
To be continued.....

I really wanna yell about how gosh dang queer Mairuma is and just how, casual it is about all of this so I am.
warning for some mild manga spoilers (tho they’re mostly out of context so)
Like, the last thing I expected from a comedy series about a boy becoming the grandson of a demon after being sold to him was, well, it to be really fucking queer.
Like I joke that Azz is a massive Iruma simp (which he is) but like, he looks at him with doe eyed admiration and longing, he just looks so in love (for godsakes his safeword to pull him from a self induced Wicked Phase is Iruma’s name!) He got the big gay dokis for Iruma it’s so not even subtle.
And even if you want to argue it’s just admiration, we DO have canon instances of not straight romantic feelings on page. Gyari is straight up in love with Kuromu and even stated a desire to marry her (and the only person who was like ‘but you’re both girls?’ was the lone human). And then that arc ended with an ACTUAL HONEST TO GOD LOVE CONFESSION! And it seems like those affections were being accepted (ymmv but I got a ‘I know and understand, now prove it by winning my heart’ sort of vibe).
Also the fact that Gyari jumped right to ‘well I have TWO hands so, what if I just married both’ as the solution to her problem (that Kuromu was gonna marry Irumi, Gyrai was like ‘well I can just, marry both of them! problem solved!) has me wondering if poly relationships are not unheard of or that weird.
Love is love as she said.
And there’s Poro and Delkira. Like, Poro is very much, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a gay man. And super in love with Delkira, the demon king. and from the scenes we saw of them they were close (so it’s not like this was just him, like, pining from afar or imagining things not there) and their interactions seemed really affectionate and loving, so to me it does seem like Delkira did return those affections. Whether or not Delkira is was only ever attracted to him/men we have NO idea so I can’t say for certain that he was gay, but he sure as fuck wasn’t straight lol Side note I really love those scenes cause they’re just so tender.
wAIT I almost forgot Eiko, she got big dokis for Iruma after he saved her at the start of the school year. And then proceeded to get the same reaction later on after Ameli saved her ass so like. She hella bi/pan.
And if you want messy queer folk then you could make a hella strong argument for Kirio being big gay too.
And then there’s gender/gender presentation
people need to stop making fucking trap comments i s2g
Opera-san is literally some flavour of nonbinary or agender-they’ve never been referred to w/ gendered pronouns, only ever neutral ones or by name, are physically androgynous and even wore a combination boys-girls uniform while in school. Heck the author herself refuses to answer the question as to what Opera’s gender is.
In fact it seems like not having one is just as normal, even common, as having one given that ‘other’ was even an option on the character creation screen we saw on a video game so like.
And I made that whole post about Lindy and the devidol games and how his tail didn’t raise any eyebrows at all, which leads me, personally, to believe that transness is another thing that’s just accepted. Like I firmly believe a character could be like ‘hey btw I’m a girl/boy now’ and everyone would probably just be happy for them. It hasn’t come up but like, given everything else it just feels, right.
Even the crossdressing seems to be handled, decently for the most part, I feel. It’s not like ‘ha ha ha a man in a dress’ even tho is a comedy series (or at least like, not in a demeaning, derogatory way, and in fact every time someone’s crossdressed they’ve looked, really good). It was more, everything else that was funny (like w/ the devidol games arc the funny came from the fact that Iruma didn’t tell a single person what he was doing so everyone had to find out by seeing him dolled up on TV! And their reactions, those were what was funny.)
the fandom on the other hand needs a good smacking smh
Honestly I think Nishi is just very bold for realizing she can put her boys in cute dresses and then doing just that. Good for her.
And while a bit more, my interpretation of things, Kalego really feels like he’s some flavour of aspec (arospec mainly, but lbr any aspec would fit him I feel). Which I, as someone who’s aspec (and likes Kalego), quite enjoy.
It just, comes up so casually, so naturally in the narrative, and no one ever makes any sort of deal over it cause it’s just, a thing that’s part of their society. 
It’s just, such a nice surprise and kinda refreshing.
tl;dr Mairimashita! Iruma-kun/Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is surprisingly very queer on multiple fronts.

My grammar sucks but I wrote the crackfic
Y/n L/n scored the assistant job of a century and by that, a job that was extremely difficult but extremely well paid due to her new client being such a train wreck. She would admit however, that it was far easier than work for Demi lovato. She assumed before going into her prior job that Demi was just seeking attention with the whole ghost therapy thing but no, the queen of strokes and mullets did in fact think they were helping spirits who were victims of misogyny after all. It became even worse when she found the starlet gyrating towards the air in only lingerie (of course Fenty since Demi would be triggered by Victoria’s Secret). Y/n didn’t fully go into detail with the questions and just took Demi’s answer of sex therapy for ghosts with microdicks as a good enough answer.
This brings us back to y/n new client, Pete Davidson. There were the usual ups and downs as with any drug addicted celeb but sometimes Pete would just go off the deep end with asking for help making vision boards of babies. These vision boards looked like if a woman who was addicted to Pinterest somehow got stranded on a desert island with only a Michaels craft store available. Y/n did enjoy Pete’s eye for color though. Today y/n had to drive Pete to a Walmart to get some household supplies
“So you remember what all we in need right? Or do I need to get the list?” Y/n asked looking at the man in a unwashed tie dye pullover hoodie. “Ummm yeah shampoo, ketchup, ensure because you say I’m not getting enough vitamins, and dog treats because they are my new favorite snack”. Y/n rolled her eyes at the answer “No not shampoo, body wash” y/n replied. Pete simply just asked “isn’t it the same thing?”
The two walked into the West Virginian Walmart, people still knew who Pete was there but because of how he looked he blended in with the hillbilly addicts. They both sauntered off toward the pet aisle since Pete could not shut up about what he called his “scooby snacks”. As soon as they got to the aisle y/n immediately grabbed Pete by his dingy sleeve.
“Do not go toward the baby” y/n said in a low trembling voice, honestly sounding a bit scared. Pete just looked at the random Walmart floor aisle baby in awe. Y/n tried to keep a good grip but the baby obsessed man managed to pull out of his hoodie and grab the baby, running like it was a high school football game. “Noooo stop” y/n yelled almost in tears. But the man was gone.
Not one to give up a lucrative paying job and the Chanel slippers she’d been eyeing online that morning she decided to go on the hunt for the man before he was arrested for kidnapping. She wished at this moment he was still with Kim despite knowing his split from her is the reason she landed the job in the first place. Ever since Kim decided to become a pr throuple with MGK and Megan in hopes that “coming out” as poly and queer would distract from her newest scandal involving her daughter north live streaming her snorting Coke off of a Tiffany’s bracelet box, Pete had been acting even more crazy than usual, which was already insane.
Y/n kept wondering the Walmart, first checking in the crib section thinking Pete may have wondered off to in order to take care of the baby. “Fuck I’m going to have to get him a reborn after this” she thought to herself. She kept wondering checking any aisle she may find him in, crafting, toys, lube, until she heard some baby cries. Following the noise she came upon the section with plastic holding tubs and saw Pete looking into one crying while trying to soothe whatever was inside. She went up to him without saying a word and looked into the tub, in it was the baby and also some chew toys but not baby chew toys, dog chew toys. She looked up at Pete and then back down to the baby, knowing what must be done. She put the baby in her arms and told as in lied to Pete that he can in fact have the baby, but they both must first give the baby to security and finish up the shopping. Somehow Pete obliged without much of a fight and the two were able to get done with their errands and leave the hell hole that was rural Walmart.

realistically do you think either misha or jensen will ever come out?
maybe someday when their kids are older and wouldn’t be as harmed by any negative backlash to it, but quite honestly, it’s none of my business. i wonder about it sometime, but they are well within their rights to either come out or never come out. 
i don’t know their exact reasons for not coming out, but our culture is just barely accepting of monogamous queer people; most straight people barely know that polyamory is a thing that exists, much less accept the idea of two men being bi and loving each other while also loving their wives and children. the media and the majority of the public would not be remotely kind. if i was them, i would not want that amount of bigoted vitriol laid at my and my family’s doorstep and damaging my career.
the one time i’ve seen misha discuss being poly was when he was on larry king, and larry king kept pushing him to admit that he’d had sex with men, and misha was visibly uncomfortable and pissed off. i think his relationships are very private to him, and if he actually came out the questions would be off-the-charts invasive all the time. 
so maybe, maybe not, but i feel like that’s a private thing and i mostly try not to speculate on stuff that’s obviously private.
(please read this before you yell at me for shipping real people.)
