🦚 for the queer ask game!
🦚 - Are there any queer books/shows/etc. that you would suggest?
oh my god YEAH absolutely. i used to be a queer media connoisseur (im no longer a romance girlie when i consume media bc i write so much of it but i still have love for the genre). i'll do one rec for each category up here but ill put some more under the cut!!
book: aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe. it's my favorite book i've gotta put it out there. literally changed my life when i was like 16 i love it so much
show: there's so many popular ones that i feel like if you're gay you've already seen them by now, so im gonna throw a curveball and go with crazy ex-girlfriend. they talk a LOT about lgbtq+ identities and explore dynamics with different couples, and if you love musicals, you absolutely must go watch it rn i fear
movie: moonlight. oh my god if you haven't seen moonlight go watch moonlight it's so so incredible 10/10. a drama that follows a black gay man from childhood to adulthood, explores the themes of masculinity, family, and friendship as well as romantic love. it's just an incredible movie it deserves all the hype tbh
music: once again there's so many popular queer musicians nowadays that i Do Not HAVE to rec (you know the ones they go hard), so im gonna rec chrissy chlapecka!! she just makes such incredible, sugary-sweet pop music about such amazing fucked up shit i love her
send me some gay asks!
okie doke as promised here's some more recs from yours truly bc i really, really love media and have a collection to rec atp NDNKFNKND ill try to order them by genre from least to most obscure LMAO
BE WARNED: i do read some graphic stuff - im an adult and my media taste reflects that. before you read anything i rec, look it up for trigger warnings!! i don't want anybody to be hurt by something i recommend. <3
books:
of course like. simon vs the homosapien agenda by becky albertalli is out there. this is one of those classics i was talking about KDNKFNFK it's very ya-gay-romance-romcom you can eat up ya know. the movie's also not too bad (people think it's 'cringey' nowadays but that was HUGE for me when i was like 19 and had my first girlfriend). anyway it's feel-good fluff if you like that kind of thing!!
red white and royal blue is obviously another classic and one i can't rec enough. i love the way its written, i love the characters, i love the plot. like it's everything, if you're into the romcom vibe this is a great one to check out. (and as a bonus this one also has a movie and it Slaps)
it's not like it's a secret by misa sigura is a pretty solid wlw coming-of-age novel that i highly rec if you're into the rom-com type book. it's also got some EXCELLENT poc representation!!
bloom by kevin panetta is a graphic novel and i love it. so so so much. truly i think i read this in a day and i am NOT a huge graphic novel reader. feel-good romcom, poc rep, body diversity, AND pretty pictures. what is there not to love. everyone should read bloom tbh
lies we tell ourselves by robin talley is Probably my favorite wlw book ever. it's historical fiction and it is Everything to me. and im actually a known historical fiction hater so take it from me - its Good.
carry on by rainbow rowell is i think a classic at this point and i love it. so so so much. you ever identify with a character a little too hard. yeah thats me and this book. i gave my best friend a copy for her graduation. it is an Excellent take on 'remember all the heroes you wanted to be gay when you were a kid. imagine if they were.' it's my beloved
a hero at the end of the world by erin claiborne is another great one in the same vein, with a punchy, dry humor twist. basically if you were a harry potter kid but you hate jkr. you'll love this one and carry on KSNDKDNFK
nimona by nd stevenson is another graphic novel!! it's another fantasy, so if that's your cup of tea, i highly recommend it. it's got an amazing queer love story, a genderfluid protag, and most importantly, found family. literally everything. (it also has a movie but i haven't seen it yet
the raven cycle by maggie stiefvater is HUGEEEE i love that series it reshaped me. it's. mystery/supernatural i would say? it has multiple of my fave queer characters of all time and honestly. everyone there is a little gay. one of my absolute faves <3
we are the ants by shaun david hutchinson is a sci-fi horror adventure story and this one. it stuck with me. the main character hit me so hard and his internal struggle is so SO interesting. if you're into this kind of shit. give it a shot!
every day by david levithan is not one of MY all-time faves, but i can still say it's super interesting and has great rep!! it has a genderfluid/agender main character (depending on how you look at it). i will say i think there are multiple books in the series (?) but i stopped at one bc. it made me too sad anyway. <3
the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky is not queer bc it's explicitly about a queer character or a queer love story, BUT. it still has one of my favorite lgbt characters of all time. patrick you will always be famous to me. as a bisexual girl in a catholic high school, saw a Lot of myself in patrick. (i do also have a special place in my heart for the movie bc it was my depression movie as a teen but patrick is played by ezra miller so be warned)
one of us is lying by karen mcmanus is another one that's not just. About a Gay Couple BUT it is one of my fave books (a murder mystery retelling of the breakfast club) and it has a gay main character!! his struggle with his sexuality is something he really struggles with and he has a boyfriend and i adore him.
shows:
i mean obviously like. heartstopper is incredible. like i said im not super into the romcom/young adult genre anymore but that show is just so beautiful and amazing and really healed my inner gay teen. it has a really diverse cast and representation for all kinds. i really recommend it!!!
everything sucks was gone before its time, but it is SUCH an amazing show. it has one of my fave on-screen wlw couples of all time. it's a feel-good, coming of age classic and i miss it deeply. (what did you just say??? 'katie rewatch it' oh my god you're onto something)
now if yall know me. glee is absolutely gonna be on this list. is it good? technically no. is it one of the greatest pieces of satire ever created? up until season three yes. i realized i was gay via santana lopez. THE gay character of all time. and all the love in my heart for all the other lgbt characters (kurt hummel you will always be famous to me......) some of it's a little dated (don't get me STARTED on unique) but it does genuinely have some great lgbt rep and if you watch it with a grain of salt it's a great comedy
julie and the phantoms made by kenny ortega (of THE high school musical and descendants fame) and it has a gay character i love!! (actually technically it has a few <3)
i'm a huge consumer of kids' media (i think phineas and ferb is a literal masterpiece and im not even kidding) so if you're like me and enjoy the disney/kid show beat i cannot rec andi mack enough. it's dramatic it's campy it's fun it's silly it's got a FANTASTIC gay character and a gay couple i deeply adore and not to mention!! so much representation!! it's like junior fosters tbh
we're gonna get into a little pocket here of like. normal romance but slightly niche - animes! sasaki to miyano is like my top lgbt anime rec. it is so, SO good. just absolute feel-good romcom goodness pls give it a shot
depending on interpretation, ouran high school host club arguably has a nonbinary character, some bi/gay characters, and a trans character! now. it IS hella dated do not get me wrong. BUT for the time? incredibly progressive and a wonderful watch. just brace yourself for some out of pocket shit
stars align has one of my favorite lgbt characters EVER, a nonbinary icon <3 and it's like. a PLOT. truly so rare to see something like that done on tv, let alone in anime. this is a sports anime - soft tennis my beloved - but it has So Much More To It than that.
another gay sports anime is run with the wind, a recent fave of mine. and i don't mean gay in the way that most sports animes are kinda gay. i mean he literally says 'im in love with this guy.' it's an amazing watch if you like that kinda thing!!
if you want an aroace genderfluid protag. the disastrous life of saiki k is up there as one of my fave animes ever AND saiki (the main character) is my fave protag of all time. this silly lil show is supernatural (ish?) and comedy all wrapped into one fantastic show i highly recommend!!
segueing back into live action shows, buffy the vampire slayer is an AMAZING, iconic, female-led supernatural dramedy with some early and, for its time, incredible lesbian rep.
yellowjackets because i LOVE unhinged lesbians. i didn't even know there was gay people in this - i started watching because i love horror and girls' soccer DLNKFNFLN and it's amazing!! if you like tragic gay women i HIGHLY endorse yellowjackets.
in the flesh. look. here's my pitch for itf. do you love being sad. do you love catharsis. do you love zombies. you will LOVE in the flesh. please. i miss it so bad i've seen this show 4 times (and you're right i should also watch this one again!!!) and i never tire of it.
sense8 is a sci-fi show and IT IS EVERYTHING TO ME. truly the diversity is unparalleled. so many lgbt characters of so many different identities. polyamory, trans people, a neuro-link that's destroying peoples' lives. it literally has everything.
the get down is not just an lgbt show, BUT it has an incredible lgbt character/storyline that i adore. a musical show, a historical fiction piece (which means a lot coming from me), and almost every character is a poc. pls give it a shot it's everything
bodies is another one that isn't just about lgbt+ rep BUT. it's incredibly diverse, examining people facing discrimination throughout history (you've got a gay mc, a jewish mc, a muslim mc, AND a disabled mc) and it just has such amazing plot lines and representation. it's a murder mystery/sci-fi double whammy, so give it a shot if you're interested!!
movies:
alex strangelove is a good, underrated, coming of age classic. it follows a guy who struggles with his sexuality. very teen rom-com-dramedy core!!
i adored boy meets girl when i watched it. a very romcom-y movie about a trans woman from a small town dreaming of getting out....... friends to lovers.......... i adore it
happiest season is a christmas movie and it's very sweet. its been panned (there are some just criticisms on the plot tbf) BUT i do think it's really cute
to wong fu thanks for everything julie newmar is just. so so good. it's an underrated classic imo. three drag queens go on road trip, end up in a small town, and change it for the better. it's literally so amazing it's just feel good found family PLEASE give this one a shot
the birdcage is another classic i so genuinely enjoy. who doesn't want robin williams and nathan lane as their gay dads. at the end of the day it's all about found family, love, and old gay men.
handsome devil is a foreign film - irish to be exact! - and i love it so much. once again as a catholic school kid.......... yeah. YEAH. anyway go watch the og gay nicholas galitzine movie LKNDKFNKNLFNKLF
pride is a historical piece and an excellent movie. it's got its ups and downs but god it's just an overall good movie. another irish film, coincidentally!
the way he looks is also a foreign film, this time in spanish, BUTTTTT it's one of my faves i love it so much. it's very feel-good, sweet, romcom so if you feel like you could be into that - give it a shot!!
rent, if you're into musicals, has some of my fave musical characters ever. angel dumott schunard you will ALWAYS be the love of my life. it is deeply sad but. other than that. i live in denial.
the prom is a much more light-hearted and silly lgbt musical. people shat on that movie but i think it's SWEET and cute and has some bangers!!
i mean like. we can joke ab how hyped it is all we want but brokeback mountain is basically required gay watching. it is EXACTLY as amazing as everyone says it is. the chemistry..... oh my god we could never make that movie again it was like catching lightning in a bottle.
bodies, bodies, bodies is a fun and campy lgbt horror if you're into that kind of thing!! the ending was a bit not my fave but otherwise it's an incredible cast and got some great silly scares
on the topic of gay horror, jennifer's body is gay and again, exactly as good as everyone hypes it up to be. you want gay women who are terrible to each other? oh boy do i have the movie for you
and i promise ill wrap on gay horror with it chapters 1 & 2. reddie will unfortunately always be famous.
everything, everywhere, all at once is not Just a gay movie BUT. it has an incredible gay character and it factors so interestingly into the mother/daughter relationship. i love that movie i will always talk about it
music (these are all just people i personally listen to but there are SO many more. im not gonna expand on these ones too much just go check em out you'll get it):
lil nas x
troye sivan
kim petras
kesha
tegan and sara

HW anon. aw thank you, I'm so glad you found my nonsense funny too. 😌 I just couldn't help sharing because it feels so on brand for Stu. Yesss for that Dolly song for Stu and speaking of Patsy Cline, her song I Fall to Pieces is sooo on point for the times when Billy is struggling to accept his feelings and Stu is ignored and sad! THOSE GIFS ARE PERFECT lmao that is exactly what I was picturing. I LOVE the old married couple who still act like teenagers energy for them as well. (I find it so cute honestly) Billy keeps threatening to leave and it just gets less and less convincing every time, and Stu is SO SMUG. THIS exactly lmao. I am fully convinced that Stu would not be above calling it "their song" and would play it at random times to make Billy suffer. like: they're fooling around and he's like "wait," and makes to take shirt off but he just blasts the damn song from his phone. Billy getting up: Good luck touching me tonight. Or ever again. Stu, laughing: Do you prefer when my old man sings it like that time in my room when he was downstairs and we -? Billy, seething: - I am absolutely leaving you. Stu just laughs and takes his shirt off giving Billy a view of his scars that still makes him go feral. Billy: I hate you so much (then starts making out with Stu and the kicker is the fucking song is still playing on Stu's phone) All this has me extremely tempted to write a fic about them years down the line because there isn't enough fic for thi
LMAO good shit anon, keep torturing the s/o with that lol shit agenda 🤙🏻 lmao always😌.
Idk why but I really do love thinking about Stu being sad listening to sappy songs lmao, good shit HW (thats your nickname now)
Lmao bold of you to assume Billy wouldn't just break his phone for that. I think that phone is going out a window tbh. Stu's phone is always backed up because he has to replace it four times a year.
Also lmoa- Billy: Yeah fine I'll still have sex with you but you're sleeping on the fucking couch tonight.
You should! I want this fandom to growwww we need more fics.
I'm also gonna write some older them at some point! I love the idea of them mellowing like 2% and only 2%. And also grown up Billy having some "Yeah I'm gay, fuck you" energy.

crenny brainrot
idk i normally dont post my thoughts here on tumblr but since im becoming active again i want to ramble on about my favorite crenny headcanons.
mostly because i have the agenda of embedding it to the crenny nation collective consciousness. i am a woman in a mission.
Disclaimer: these are literally headcanons with either 0 or the bare minimum canonical basis. its all for good fun pls don’t attack me for rambling about south park characters on main.
1. Kenny is an English gay, Craig is a Science gay || alt title: my craig is bad at english agenda.
I don’t need to explain myself but I’m GOING to explain myself. In the series Kenny is normally the point person whenever the boys don’t know the meaning of a certain term. That’s on rich vocabulary baybee! Ok but ALSO Kenny’s is legit good at English (e.g. When he wrote the boys a letter from Hawaii, His entire Princess Kenny cold open, his Mysterion dialogues)
And now Craig, sweet precious illiterate Craig. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
need i say more? 
Craig as a science gay just makes a lot of sense to me, bc duh...space...and stuff. Leave it to Craig to calculate the rate of xyz when abc, but if you ask him to write 1 (one) single essay he will slap you. 
I love contrasting my Crenny bc that’s their primary appeal for me! I’m on that stem student x liberal arts student agenda.
2. Kenny loves his town! (Craig is on the Fence) 
It’s a really common crenny trope for them to hate the fuck out of South Park, which leads to countless runaway fics (which I ADORE, keep making them.) But you know when I thought about it, Kenny’s definitely the type to love South Park (and its inhabitants) from the Bottom of his heart.
Dude he literally took on the role of Mysterion to protect the town from the shadows (he’s been doing it for Months???), He sacrificed himself in the South park movie just to bring back things to normal. This man. Loves. His. town. 
I think Kenny’s the type to be all “Come with me, I’ll show you my secret spot.” Then have like 17 secret spots around the town. He definitely knows stuff like the quickest route to school or the best spot for stargazing. All that. 
Now Craig. I could see why he’d hate the town TBH. And that offers a nice counterbalance to Kenny (a comic is forming in my mind as we speak.)
I want Kenny to teach Craig how to love the town (kenny voice “you’re just not experiencing the town the right way!”) and I want Craig to call out Kenny (craig voice “maybe you’re just romanticizing the idea of the town because you’re scared of letting go of the last bits of your childhood”) AHAHAHAHA. Idk Man, it would be a nice dynamic to study.
lmao i just realized that most of my headcanons are just contrasting crenny. IDC!
3. manlet kenny and taaaaall craig
yall KNOW ive been on that short Crenny agenda since day 1!
Tumblr media
(behold my first rendered crenny art ever)
DAY ONE! 初日!Unang araw palang!
BUT! but! BUT! this goes deeper. because of course im going to ramble on about this. 
*clears throat*
Craig tries to occupy as little space as possible, Kenny tries to occupy the biggest space possible.
BAM! Visual and Thematic Interest! 
I can imagine it now, Craig keeping his limbs as close to himself. Kenny stretching out his arms trying to “take more sunlight and air!” 
Tumblr media
I like the idea of Kenny being small but no one really thinks he’s small because he carries himself like a large person. Sometimes he’d just stand up and Craig would see the top of his head and go “oh wow i forgot that you were a foot shorter than me for a split second.”
Fun stuff.
4. Mole placements because I’m a graphic design student and this is the type of shit that appeals to me.
As yall know I draw Craig with a mole under his eye and Kenny with a mole under his lip. Want to know why? Visual interest BAYBEE. Have i told you that I’m a graphic design STUDENT. 
Tumblr media
I like it because it leads your eyes from Craig’s face to Kenny’s face or vice versa. It adds a sense of movement to any of my crenny pieces. 
Tumblr media
Also I noticed how most crenny fics focus on how striking Craig’s eyes are and I think it’s just fitting to add a lil mole to accent it. 
As for kenny, I’m on that...........kenny kissable lips agenda.......I hc his mole to be less noticeable but MAN once you notice, it’s all you see. I can just imagine Craig going fucking crazy once he realize that there’s a mole under Kenny’s lips.
5. Craig and Kenny are innately perceptive || alt title: Crenny Bluetooth Couple
This is kinna one of my tenet headcanons. Like my entire crenny characterization hinges on this one headcanon. 
Okay get ready its DISSERTATION time. 
5A: The angst of it all
Craig and Kenny are both very perceptive. They notice. The different lies in the way they act on what they had notice.
Kenny’s an empath so he tries the best to subtly help the people around him when noone else can. Stan having a bad day? Kenny would stay with him. Kyle’s pissed off more than usual? Kenny would crack jokes he knows Kyle would laugh at. etc.etc.
Craig is very pragmatic. If it doesn’t affect him, he won’t bother. But with Kenny he just can’t help but be so concerned. 
He notices it when somethings off with Kenny. He’d notice when Kenny’s disoriented (after dying and not knowing how reality warped or sum). He’d notice when Kenny’s tired (after working overtime at city wok). He’d notice how Kenny would look at his friends lunches.
What pisses Craig the most is how Kenny just, smiles through it all. Craig’s so frustrated with how Kenny’s own friends are too caught up with their shit that they can’t notice telltale signs. 
And so he finds himself gravitating towards Kenny. Inviting Kenny to join his Wide-angle lens show after he got rejected for looking too poor. Offering to be his partner during school trips. 
5B: craigs cold hard exterior = kennys happy go lucky attitude
Craig and Kenny don’t express their true emotions. 
But the difference is: Craig doesn’t show his because he doesn’t feel  the need to. Kenny doesn’t show his because he has to. 
BAM! Interest!
Kenny has to be strong. To not worry his siblings or friends. So he just pushes through and hides it all with his hedonistic facade. 
Craig’s just.....idk he just doesn’t want 2 show his emotions for funsies idk what’s up with him. 
I like how on the surface they seem like polar opposites but fundamentally they are the same. (bc theyre soulmates)
5C: Reading craig
Kenny’s one of the few people who mastered the language of Craiganese. Alongside Ruby, Clyde, and Token. 
Kenny’s skill was innate tho and it pisses off Clyde so much.
Clyde learned how to read Craig after years of being his closest friend. It took a lot of trial and error, but he’s proud that he can understand Craig’s mood and all that.
But then comes Kenny who can read Craig immediately! What the heck! Unfair!
Tumblr media
5D: Bluetooth couple
which leads me to the point. 
It’s funny.
It’s just funny I can imagine Crenny having entire conversations just by looking at each other.
Tumblr media
okay thats all.

top 10 the untamed characters based on how much theyve played third wheel to wangxian
1. wen ning
this is obvious
the scene where they show up in the burial mounds and start to untie the juniors, but instead of explaining whats happening wwx just hands wn his sword and watches w lwj? all three of them were completely in synch, not a word was said, but they fucking knew anf they were having way too much fun w it
literally the whole reason he has consiousness is bc they teamed up
its aro week and i wanna take this second to say that this is a win for my ace aro wen ning & qp wn&wwx and wn&lwj agenda
three-way parenting for lsz
(god can you imagine if wq lived? theyd be too powerful)
was one of the first ppl to hear wuji outside of wwx and lwj
the boat scene????? wwx and lwj were gazing lovingly into each others eyes and wn was just. vibing. dude didnt even look that uncomfortable, just like it was another day im-
literally every scene wen ning was in after wwx came back to life tbh
2. the xuanwu of slaughter
they were literally cradling each other in their arms while an entire murder tortoise was trying to kill them
the telepathy talisman? iconic, why dont we talk about that more
life threatening battles are just hella gay by design, esp when theres swords involved. idk what to tell you
3. lan sizhui
just look at his name. lwj named him that unironically. holy shit.
the temporary parallel universe that was lwjs visit to the burial mounds? what we couldve had smh
i know lwj and wwx lovingly annoy the shit out of him post canon, bless his heart
4. nie huaisang
the bit on dafan mountain where he's like "oh fuck thats dangerous i dont want to run out of here" and wwx and lwj make eye contact and then are just like "thats rough buddy. anyway, lets do it"
"oh wow this adventure we're on is so cool" "we? this is about me and lan zhan, what the fuck are you talking about"
when they see him right after they fuck up the nie tomb and theyre lowkey just bullying him
the scene at the end where wwx confronts nhs while lwj just watches knowingly? theyre once again bullying the poor man
he gets extra points for orchestrating everythig. dude really said "oh jgy thinks he's funny? well wwx and lwj are about to be completely fucking hilarious" and then just sat back and watched shit go down w occasional commentary. king shit
5. lan xichen
when they come back to cloud recesses after mxy!wwx's reveal and theyre like "the dude whos kinda debatably the love of your life is the real evil here" and he just has to deal w that
ok it felt weird putting him this low on the list but like. he and jc were mostly emotionally third wheeling??????? like he wasnt in a ton of scenes w just him and the two of them, but he had to cope w lwjs pining all the time
6. jin ling
really should be lower on this list but he has extra points bc again, i cant believe they let lwj and wwx name things
the part where theyve p much Just been reunited and they immediately have to go break him out of the nie tombs? dude wasnt even concious but i feel like it still counts
7. jiang cheng
i feel like he shouldve been higher on this list too, but im not listing everyone and again he just doesnt have scenes w just the two of them
however he def had to deal w so much pining. the reunion on dafan mountain AND the reuinion during the sunshot campaign. the golden core reveal. the 3 months of him and lwj searching for wwx alone
8. jin guangyao
technically no scenes w just them but like. the bullshit they got up to undoubtedly lived in his brain rent free. theres no way he had any peace
honorary mention for stuff from the novel like the guanyin temple confession
10. literally everyone
these dudes are everywhere and they will make it everyone elses problem
the skywalkers of fantasy ancient china
post canon discussion conferences? the water abyss or whatever in caiyi? the sunshot campaign? the murder of the cuanwu of slaughter, which helped kick off the sunshot campaign? nightless city pt 1 AND 2? the going-ons of literally every chief cultivator? that was all them babe
honorary mentions include: lil apple, lan jingyi&ouyang zizhen, wen qing, jiang yanli, the ghosts of cangse sanren&wei changse (and prob madame lans ghost as wel tbh), su she (ty @ghostysword for reminding me- i totally forgot about him) and everyone whos seen the show

asks which i realized i actually havent answered in a while?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
thank you for all the hobbit love!!!!!!!!! I was kind of nervous about posting that design because i didnt know whether tolkien fandom would be chill with ...well furries essentially. happy that you guys dont seem to mind at all ^^ here’s more that I could never figure out a post for LOL
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
thank you! and lol i was kind of joking about leaving the p5 fandom but uhhh I don’t think i’ll be drawing much more p5 because I think I got it out of my system. also tbh I don’t know if I actually like p5?? or if I just had a lot of shit I wanted to express and say about it via fanart. I had like this whole agenda where I wanted to make p5 art based on a more noir...almost graphic american comics style because I felt like that was the most interesting thing about the game’s art direction and not a lot of fanartists cashed in on it. Also I wanted to depict like a very specific shuake vibe that wasnt too romantic but also not ... completely un-romantic. something that really capitalized on the fact that they’re just terrible teens. idk. anyways I like the work I made for the fandom and I think I managed to say everything I wanted to say w it.
I AM signed up for a shuake zine though so expect an encore before I sign out completely LOL.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
thank YOU being very nice to me. ik its been a while but I WILL Draw digimon again sometime. kids with big shoes and monster pals is just the most fun thing to draw ever.
Tumblr media
uhhhguhhg not particularly? The tamers kids just seem SO young.
I thought the scene where takato confesses to juri was incredibly lovely but it’s well done because it’s not particularly romantic or ship-indulgent its like... all about the way kids attach to each other when they feel out of place or scared. and how simply someone can become special to you at that age. 
if i mentally age them up a little I could see kazu and kenta being a fun ship. they had that one episode where they were like. kind of a parallel for those married digimon?? which is deeply amusing. 
also I think ruki is a baby lesbian. just the way she dismisses every boy but is obsessed with even the most random girl they encounter...! but i think her rivalry with ryo is so so funny because its like a like... little league tcg rivalry. I want to believe that when theyre in middle school ruki and ryo date for like 2 weeks and the plain existence of that relationship wreaks havoc on kazu and kenta who are in weird idol love with ryo and hate ruki but also are friends with ruki. and then they break up because they realize theyre both gay or whatever but kazu and kenta take approx a month to recover from the psychological& emotional damage.
I like ruki/juri too but i have no solid concept of how that would work out...
I actually totally meant to draw all this in like a convoluted fanart post at one point but I never got around to it so thanks for asking about tamers shipping LOL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How it ends up looking painterly.... idk. Because I’m a messy painter and I use big strokes? I don’t really blend but I do use mid-opacity textured brushes when I paint a lot so thats probably part of what makes it look soft/painterly/integrated. I use the lasso for hard edges and then brushes to create soft shapes within them... if that makes sense? SORRY THIS IS HARD TO EXPLAIN, anyways, I have a handful of videos of me drawing on youtube. Theyre really boring because they dont have music and I didn’t bother to edit them in interesting ways but.. theyre there. Maybe itll help?

So like all of the x-books, the occasional teen hero and the occasional indie. I was thinking of dropping Wolverine and Cable but idk... Cable sort of won me over during x of swords and if wolverine brings adam kubert back I think I’ll start digging it again LOL. I jumped onto Guardians on a whim but its suddenly become one of my favorite books along with S.W.O.R.D... so I guess I have to go back and read Immortal Hulk at some point, become a true Al Ewing stan.
Far Sector is my only DC pull atm but also I loved a lot of the GN releases this past year and Wonder Woman Dead Earth is like my favorite 2020 comic actually. So dc imprints are KICKING ALL KINDS OF ASS. main dc tho.... idk. I’m kind of eyeing the new robin book but I think thats where my interest ends.

i do think theyre dating obv but the whole Homophobic thing for phantis is .. a bit much. i get where youre coming from with ppl not wanting to see a healthy adult gay relationship but i also think thats ignoring why ppl might not believe it which i think in most cases is just not wanting to assume BECAUSE of big and dan stating that prying was harmful. ik that to a lot of us its a clear thing that we believe in but even i sometimes run the line of not wanting to assume too much
there’s a fine line between:
“i haven’t got full confirmation, i can’t really be 100% sure because i don’t want to assume like a lot of people did back in the day, i just want what’s best for dan and phil”
and
“i’m choosing to ignore all the signs in front of me including them being together for 11 years, buying a house together and calling each other things like soulmates and husbands, with no real reason other than the fact that best friends can all do all those things, even though when it’s a straight couple i have absolutely no desire to question it”
i’m not saying every phanti is actually homophobic. it’s just homophobic tendencies created by a heteronormative environment everyone was pretty much raised in. plus once you start trying to reason with them like.. hey maybe they’re? not?? just friends??? they’re very defensive and honestly i don’t think i’ve ever had a conversation with a phanti that’s ever been open to just listen and think about why they’re so against the idea of dan and phil being together other than just arguing the same old “BEST FRIENDS DO THAT TOO” yknow?
if you don’t wanna believe dan and phil are together, that’s a you thing. i’m not here to pull up information and facts and try and bait you into admiring anything. you do your own thing, tbh, and if you wanna make phanti posts or argue, do it on your own blogs where i’m sure there’ll be a phanti following eager to listen to what you have to say.
i understand the point you’re trying to get across here, anon, i do. but in all honesty when you get the asks i get, or the kinds of asks i’ve seen floating around on here, it makes you think that they’re more than just... dubious about the nature of their relationship... mostly trolls wanting a reaction or just people trying to push their own agenda into your askbox like it’ll make a difference to what you believe 🤷🏻‍♀️

Xie Lian gets a husband and suddenly he becomes the relationship expert, which mostly consists of him making sweet & cunty comments to MQ and giving him tips which MQ DOES NOT NEED OR WANT THANK U UR HIGHNESS but XL just doesn't GET IT and it culminates in XL roping people into setting FXMQ up, meanwhile FX is completely unaware of all of this happening,he just knows HC won't stop making fun of his crush on MQ which is weird cause how tf does he know he hid it so well,a mess
love this for them tbh i feel like xie lian would definitely toe the line between like "i genuinely want to help my friends out!!" and the only half unintentional bragging like "oh within the first few minutes of meeting san lang i knew he would be important to me and we never fight ever let me share my top ten keys to a harmonious marriage" and mq is like was it worth? i know i wanted to be friends but is this really want i want? (but also like the complicated feelings about xl being the one whos trying to help him out AGAIN but also that IS what friends do and hes just like get me out of here)
also im desperate to further the feng xin and hua cheng being friends agenda i just think feng xin should keep collecting gay guys who were virgins for 800 years i think thats really funny also if we get down into details they kind of have the least to fight about like if hua cheng could take a step back i think he would have to admit that feng xin really did the least wrong during book 4 like mu qing's choices were complicated but feng xin literally got sent away. obviously all three of them care about xie lian a lot and fx and hc have always had the least complicated feelings about him so i think they have a good starting place also they can be united in their quest to save xie lian from himself (i know mq also cares but he is also the one who was going to let xl eat the dirty bun off the floor while fx was the one who actually stopped him) anyway i have a vision in my head of the quartet eating together at puqi shrine and xl watching the way fx is laughing more than usual at anything even remotely funny that mq says and so when theyre done eating he sends fx and hc to wash dishes together so he can pester mq who is just like 🙄🙈😭 about it all and when xl brings up the shared obstacle of their cultivation method mq is like THATS IT and goes to drag fx out but he's busy engaged in a dish washing contest with hc over who can get the most unidentifiable sludge out of xie lian's favorite cooking pot

my last hours: chain of gold review
its practically tradition for me, every time i finish a cassie claire book, i whip open my long abandoned tumblr and yell about characters. 
discussion is always welcome but if you’re like SUPER into this book don’t read this you’ll just get mad. also claire dont read this. 
my biggest problem with this book is that it doesn’t take enough risks, it sticks to a known successful formula (the infernal devices remains the best shadowhunters series) and what results is a book that is nostalgic, not bad, but not breaking any new ground. 
i’ll talk about what i liked first. i loved some of the storylines claire brought up in this book, BUT SHE BARELY EXPANDED ON ANY OF THEM.
you know what would’ve felt fresh and painful? charles fairchild. i want to read about Charles Fairchild, and his ambition, i want to read about his love for Alastair and how all he wishes is for his lover to just understand how much he *wants* to be consul. i want to read about his conflicted affection for Ariadne. i want to sympathise with HIM, because that would be so interesting, similar to what we had with jessamine, but with a man this time. we don’t have to like him, he just has to be interesting. 
what i’d also have loved would be more about lucie’s insecurity about being “the second herondale”. tbh, it would’ve been really interesting for her to have turned to the dark but this is a shadowhunters book the moral conflict always comes with the relationships, not the fantasy plot. but anyways what is the DEAL with “the beautiful cordelia” that is the fucking gayest thing i have ever laid eyes on in my entire life. also thats all lucie and cordelia’s relationship is based on, just the fact that lucie writes to cordelia, and it makes it feel so cheap because all cordelia does is think about james. lucie reminds me of dru, the forgotten younger sister, but because dru was not expanded on in tda i think it would’ve been fresh to read about lucie and her insecurity
also: matthew fairchild. right now he feels super repetitive, basically just will herondale again but this time he also fucks boys!! what a CHANGE. will shouldve been able to see his younger self in matthew and help him, so this makes minimal sense. even if we *have* to have this super repetitive plot element, i want to read about matthew and how he is different drunk and sober. i want to see him literally fail his friends and risk their lives, multiple times, because he is too drunk to do shit. i want to see him sober, suddenly so uncharming and pitiful. also i fucking want to see hints that he’s in love with cordelia. yes there are “hints”, but this “love” feels really cheap as well. basically so many of the relationships in cog feel super cheap because you’re supposed to believe that matthew falls in love with cordelia because of like three interactions. (although a parallel to this would be cristina and mark, who also didn’t have that much interaction before they fell in love, but mark was so broken and cristina is literally the sweetest, that made more sense. matthew and cordelia?? kinda a cheap play esp considering how will and jem were also parabatai) 
WRITE MORE ABOUT ALASTAIR. matthew seems way too put together and a “tragic romantic figure” in this book to make us Really see alastair as someone who should be hated. i want to HATE alastair but at the same time feel so much pity and pride for him. i know claire tried to make us dislike him but didnt work lol
oh i also loved the merry thieves i LOVE their friendship please give me more of that sweet sweet friendship juice. now this sort of marauders (im sorry im such a big marauders fan) brotherhood is something i haven’t seen from claire before and id love to read more about it
NOW I SCREAM ABOUT WHAT I DISLIKED
1, james fucking herondale. he is the most blandly and poorly written “male lead” in a claire book i’ve read for a long time. i’m all for reading about very stupid boys who are stupid about girls but the whole wild shift between grace and cordelia makes him seem like trash even with the bracelet influence. i disliked julian (i literally forgot his name and had to search it up), but julian’s fierce devotion to his family was interesting and grounded him. james is just ?? i guess he has the ability to go to the shadow realm?? like ngl i know nothing about his character and tbh i dont want to know more. 
2, cordelia. carstairs. who is basically if you scrambled clary and emma together and added a pinch of cristina. she’s not a BAD character, and since we’re supposed to see her as the “self insert” (i assume), her being a bit bland was probably intended. but this IS like... the fourth shadowhunter series. can we get a female character who is the hot troubled one instead?? i want HER to be the one with the tragic terrible secret, i want her to lash out and go drinking and push everyone away. cordelia in this book exists to love and protect james, and that makes her... even more boring than clary, who you know at least had her own strong agenda instead of this “oh i have to save my father wait hes a drunk” arc
3, matthew fairchild is basically just will herondale if he were less in love with his parabatai and more gay coded (oscar wilde?? waistcoats?? really???) . i wish he were written as a proper casanova, seen dating a different girl or boy every scene because then it would Hurt to see cordelia dismiss his feelings because of his behaviour. tbh i just,,, like matthew fairchild but hes so similar to will it hurts that his potential is being squandered.
4, this book just feels like tid but the side characters are like the tda ones. 
5, anna lightwood is basically magnus bane and i hate it but i love it
6, tbh most of the romances weren’t heart wrenching. cordelia having to marry james as an alibi was the only cool thing out of this book and even that was a bit odd. alastair being charles’ secret lover was Pretty out of the blue and that hurt but he literally left the relationship after one scene?? thats not realistic?? i want alastair to fall back into old habits, then try to leave again, then fall back again, then leave for Good. all of these romances are so whirlwild and mean so little, and they probably seem really cool to a 14 year old child but now they just feel... childish and stupid. TDA may have spoilt me for well built relationships, as much as i dislike emma and julian, their romance made SENSE. kit and ty? had feelings development. kieran and mark had their whole “we had to love each other to survive but now we don’t have to now what” struggle that was well laid out anyways. 
BASICALLY, THE CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK WERE WRITTEN TO BE IMMATURE, SHELTERED 17 YEAR OLDS AND IT’S UNSURPRISINGLY BORING TO READ 
also: if jesse blackthorn, a dear character in our hearts, showed love towards his mother, she would feel more three dimensional but alas sakjfh

are you... are you serious with that "sexualities based on how they act" post??? then you say "i hope this didnt offend anyone"???? of course it did, how can you think that "guessing" someone's sexuality based on how they act is not offensive??? i dont know if youre a part of the lgbt community, but i hope you can realise that the idea that you can understand someone's sexuality based on how they act hurts lgbt community A LOT. it's.. it's just so heartbreaking to see that on the twst tag.
Tbh it's a headcanon meaning NOT CANON
Everyone can have their own headcanon and no one has to go by what I think.
Beside its worst when ppl go around saying "BLANK IS GAY AND THATS A FACT" or "BLANK IS STRAIGHT DUE TO THEM FLIRTING WITH BLANK AND THATS CANON" and going around BASHING other ppl who have their own ships because it dont fit their agenda.
Beside it's from how I saw the character act, my HC are not facts besides they can be proven WRONG if you dont like it I'm sorry,

Idk about Kai, but why would Jennie, who is in a relatively new girl group that doesn't have a full album, who has been criticized recently and JUST started her own solo career, take the risk of going on public dates right now? Doesn't make sense to me at all
exactly anon
firstly we can never see the full spectrum of why companies fake set up this. maybe ji is releasing a solo album after sm report they breakup so his popularity will SKYROCKET, or maybe they wanna get rid of jni fucking yg himself rumour (LMAO who even spread this) / sponsor rumour / dispatch have some really deep shit serious info about jni and bp, being arguably the most important yg music group, they needed to compromise with dispatch to fake a kaixjni instead of whatever they have on yg. or maybe jni is dating someone even scadalous or maybe ji is gay
like. we would never know. would we?????
secondly how about we think about this instead. Ji has been through this. kxk 2016, went on ‘date’ with matching glasses black top, would he really voluntarily do that again. match beanie and scarf, (his checkered scarf with jni’s checkered coat - tbh are couples that extra????). rmb all the pain he has gone through, ji aint dumb. if hes actually dating jni he wont hurt her like that lmao, if the feelings are real he would want to protect her and her growing career by being super lowkey.
so wake up world. I am sure like 50% kpop idols are dating, BUT 49% never get caught. its because idols have their own ways of hiding and they KNOW how to hide. they won’t just MATCH CLOTHES and oh lets drive to her residence to get photographed instead of secretly meeting up at somewhere shady first THEN drive around.
and you are absolutely right. would jni be that dumb to risk her own career at her own will? yeah shes queen, may give off an idgaf vibe but shes still a growing idol with real fear.
my point is: its rare for kpop couples to actually get caught unless they themselves want to be exposed, which doesnt make sense bc jni’s career is growing and ji been through shit and he wont want that again. or that its a huge drama fake set up to achieve whatever the fuck agenda their companies want.
the key here is: ji will def make sure not to make the same mistake at his own will, and certainly not risk ruining her career id he cares for her.
ps dont give me the bullshit that oh their love so strong they want to show the world their love. isnt it said they started in nov or smth thats like 2 months and a lot of couples date without wanting to be showy, less alone idols.
sorry if this shows on a tag, anon didnt censor their names but i am fully entitled to reply however and whatever i want to messages sent to my very own inbox.
no disrespect to jni and ji. infact i respect them and think they won’t be so dumb to go on dates get caught in public.

I just want to say thank you for being so honest about the WaG finale, a lot of people have been focused solely on her not getting to say bisexual, but that’s not even what I’m solely angry about. I was genuinely hurt when they made a joke of ‘maybe you’re not gay you’re just lonely’ and then the whole ‘why am I ashamed I’m straight!’ And so much more, I loved this show and I genuinely don’t think I want to watch it anymore if that’s how they think they can do humor around the LGBGQ+ community
It was very gross, and even though I’m not bisexual myself I just felt this… anger start to fester inside me the longer the episode went on. How dare they do that to a queer woman, honestly. 
I won’t even lie to you, I had super biphobia when I was younger and I myself called women ‘confused’ (which lbh, thats what they meant when they said Karen was ‘lost’) and belittled their attraction to women because I thought it wasn’t real. That shit happens to bisexual women all the time, and it’s disgusting. I feel awful for ever having been a part of that, and now this… this fucking show, that’s supposed to be for us, for the LGBTQ community, just blatantly spits in the face of one of our letters, our fucking people?
It’s 2019. They were supposed to be better this time around. They were supposed to have learned, and yet instead all we we get is throwaway scraps to keep us quiet. We wanted Karen’s bisexuality to be recognized so they gave us this to try to appease us while at the same time still ultimately pushing their own bullshit agenda to erase a valid part of our community.
Fuck them, tbh.

It's stuff like what's happened recently that's made even the lgbt sick of the lgbt. Plus when some of these fandoms shove gay ships and headcanons in peoples faces they make sure to plaster the biggest flaming gay stereotypes with them. Then they wonder why even the lgbt wants to distance themselves from the fandom.
Very true anon. I mean, in my opinion, people should be free to express themselves, and respect those who disagree. Not everyone will have the same mind set. AND THATS OKAY.
The sane lgbt people are really nice tbh, and the insane ones just give them and their community a bad rep. Ive met some gays, lesbians and bis who are really amazing, kind, nice. So I can see why even they are fed up. Its not fair for them to get dragged into the dirt with these insane assholes who cant let others just express ourselves.
I think its pretty sad that those type of lgbt people let their sexuality be their whole identification in this world.
Theres more to it. Wheres your personality? Your passion? I dont know, I just think being mad over something such as a cartoon character, and someone not agreeing or annoyed with so much gay in the world is just silly. Its not necessary.
Stop acting like being gay/lesbian/bi is the only thing in the world for you, because theres ALOT more to life then just sexualtiy and cartoon characters. But maybe thats just me.
Im all for supporting their community, until they start bullying others for not getting behind their gay shoving agenda. Thats all I gotta say about it. death threats, and bullying is never the way to anything. It only hurts people in the end. But again thats just my thoughts on the matter.
Thank you anon for sharing!

Black Sails: The Best Representation?
Black Sails got just about everything right about the filthy, primitive, hostile, disease-ridden world pirates lived in. You know the best thing they did though? The presence of homosexuality. Most Tumblr users (and far left folks tbh, not being used as an insult just a fact) LOVE to make pirate havens a homoerotic cesspool as if it was extremely widespread as it is today. Allow me to clarify that IM NOT A RELUBLICAN, I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH HOMOSEXUALITY AND SUPPORTED GAY MARRIAGE DESPITE MY CHRISTIAN UPBRINGING AND TO THIS DAY BELIEVE IN EQUALITY FOR EVERYBODY NO MATTER THE SKIN COLOR, GENDER IDENTITY, OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION/PREFERENCE. BEFORE YALL START PUKING ON YOUR KEYBOARDS FINISH THIS ANALYSIS. While it DID exist, and it certainly more common than it was in the Old World (Europe), it wasn’t as widespread as people with an agenda would make it seem. While men did spend months or years exclusively around other men on cramped vessels, these weren’t the Spartans who were sexually open and enlightened through education and the arts, they were rough, scraggly, dirty, greedy men in search of gold, jewels, tobacco, sugar, and booty (of both varieties). Brothels made quite a bit of money and predominantly catered to the needs of straight men, because they were the majority. Now, I’m not saying it didn’t exist. We have plenty of sources that confirmed it happened with more frequency than in Europe, because the New World was where the Empires sent undesirables to shut them up and get them away from thier immeculate, perfectly curled, powdered hair. HOWEVER. If you are writing a pirate novel or comic, GO CRAZY! You want lesbian pirates? DO IT. You want a ship full of lesbian pirates? FUCK YEAH. You want a haven filled with gay men who raid, pillage, Plunder, and then come back and have a massive party that would make your catholic grandmother faint? LETS DO THIS!!!! Using the period to build a fantasy world is totally okay! THATS WHY ITS CALLED FANTASY. Use it for representation and challenge how we view characters! Just don’t act like it’s historically based. Have fun y’all!
PS: I do have tons of sources, but the effort of putting 25-50 citations and book names sounds like torture. This period is my passion and I’ve spent years doing independent research on it. Have fun guys!
