Ok, so-
I'm doing the "Lubertober" (or bellitober on instagram), so all of the drawings have Luca and Alberto, obviously.
I basically drew them as kids so far, but I wanted to draw them older in the "Traveling" prompt, riding a vespa together, seeing the world, ya know…
But as I went to show the drawing to my mom, she thought the one hugging Alberto's waist from behind smiling was a girl, when it was actually Luca. She said that they looked like boyfriends and asked if it was my intention. I went and told her that they hugged like this in the movie, even showing some screenshots as proof.
Now, I do ship luberto (It’s totally ok if you don’t ship them! I respect your opinion!), but I know how my mom feels when we show her any gay stuff. I’ve gotten pretty good at explaining fanfic plots in a way that she wouldn’t know who the characters were or even the fandom. Sometimes i can explain the plot and even say the characters, but obviously hiding the times they say they liked each other (like the fic “piccoletto” on wattpad). Honestly she only found out i read gay fanfics bc my little brother told her i was reading greenflame (lloyd x kai, oof that was a while ago-)
But, do you know how hard it is to just show her some things and lie to her face that “its not gay”?? Like, even showing her those screenshots she wasn’t convinced, and the fact that i’ve seen so many post and stuff talking about them and the details and analyses that it could be queer coded--
*sigh* Gosh… I always have to take careful steps with what i tell my mom, and i think tumblr is the only place i can, idk vent(?) about this stuff.
She said she’s ok with gay people but, as she said, “I’m ok with them being like that, but it’s not like i’ll congradulate them for it. Like having down syndrome, I’m not gonna be rude to them, but I don't want other people to be like that too.” (not her exact words but it was close to that). She’s ok with her friends being gay, she liked an actor that was gay and married to a man, she knows that a lot of kids are addopted by them, and she’s happy they love someone, but she gets unconfortable seeing it “everywhere”, like in series and movies as of lately (supernatural is one example, where she loved this series but didn’t like the ending that much, destiel being one of those reasons)
She always says that she wont be rude to any gay person, saying she doesn’t care ‘who they go to bed with’, but she says that it’s not normal, not how things should be. Being on tumblr I've gotten so used to being around LGBT friendly people that I am honestly on thin ice whenever my mom brings up that topic…
I hate talking about politics, it gives me anxiety and makes me uncomfortable, and the fact that she keeps telling me that the LGBT community is ALL about politics and “on the wrong side” at that, always asking “are you supporting them?”, “have you seen what they do during pride month and the gay parade?” and I GET SCARED! I tried telling her that ‘one bad apple ruins the whole barrel’, like the undertale fandom being known as one of the most toxic fandoms just because some people were buttholes despite having nice people in it…
She even told me she would confiscate my phone so i couldn’t see any kind of gay content and not even interact with anyone lgbt. I just wanted to get this off my chest, really… I know tumblr understands it. I don't even know if anyone will see this, but I don't care. this will sit in my blog for no one to read or interact probably.

Prompt: vampire and werewolf 🧛🏻♂️🐺
Berto actually looks really good as a werewolf
He's probably talking about how great it feels to run around as a wolf and be out in the sun, or that he'd totally scare off any human that came to the island, while Luca just listens
(If Luca's outfit looks familiar is bc I accidentally made it look like Fantasy/RPG deku-)
