s1 luz was at least a little bit gay for willow i will not be told otherwise

idk if it was a full on crush but it was at least one of those types of nebulous not-quite-romantic not-quite-platonic "hahaha, unless..." type friendships that a lot of queer teens have, u know the ones

#girl was just walkin around sayin shit like ''you're right! my friend IS very cute!'' #which can be just regular platonic bc luz is friendly like that but in this case i feel like it's A Little Bit Gay #eliot posts #toh #the owl house #luz noceda #willow park #just. remembering why i liked willuz/willumity so much. #i kinda headcanon willow as grey-aro and polyam (this literally came to me in a dream) #and i feel like her ideal relationship IS a kind of ambiguous sorta-but-not-quite-romantic sort of dealio #tho i also like the headcanons that she's just plain bi or pan or lesbian in this context too #bc again that sort of ambiguous friendship seems to be VERY common among queer teen friend groups (and not just aspec queers) #like it was A Thing between some of my high school friends and many other queer ppl i've talked to have said similar lmao #tho i also find the headcanon that she's 100% aroace and also uninterested in any relationships outside if friendship to be v fun #just like. basically everyone falling in love w her but her being totally uninterested #but being her friend is so Delightful that none of em rlly have any complaints there #like that scene in carmilla where dani turns down kirsch and says she just sees him as a friend and he gets really excited like #''yes! i am in the friend zone! she sees me as a friend!!! she's so cool i am excited to be her friend!'' #willow taking after canon aroace icon lilith ''constantly turning down suitors but keeping their gifts'' clawthorne #my sister is just straight but this one time when she was in hs a guy asked her out w a massive tub of cheese puff balls #(she was obsessed w those things) #and she turned him down but kept the cheese puffs and ate them for like a solid month

FINALLY have wrestled my brain into sitting down and watching Good Omens and it is, in fact, very good!! Incredibly good!! Absolutely in love with it ♥️♥️♥️

It does, however, hurt terribly

#as a queer with hella religious trauma fucking OW 😭😭😭 #Aziraphale is exactly who I used to be #and Crowly is so much like who I am now #'I only ever asked questions' yeah me too 😭 #i really thought i'd kinda made peace with my religious trauma but it turns out i very much have not 🙃🙃🙃🙃 #i'm like 2 eps into season 2 currently but i do know generally what happens and I DO know how it ends #and it breaks my fucking heart bc I'm going to be so upset with Aziraphale but I'm gonna understand him better than I want to #bc fuck if I didn't think I could fix heaven once #i really hope that when that line of thinking comes crashing down around him spectacularly #it doesn't do so in a way that kills any hope and makes him act apathetic as a defense mechanism to pretend it doesn't hurt #bc Crowley and I are already here and I want Aziraphale to avoid that #and it sucks and Aziraphale is too good to end up like this I want him to be ok 🥺 #Crowley was too good to end up like this too but he's already here so I just hope he can heal better than I apparently haven't #idk I'm in love with this show and these middle-aged gay men but I'm also incredibly fucking triggered lmao #like ow mr gaiman good job but also kinda fuck you but also please I'm trusting you to give this a good end

Man there's nothing wrong with genderbends as a concept but there's something lowkey infuriating about this fandom's tendency to take canonically gay (or at least, MLM) male characters and genderbend them into women like. Is that not at least a little bit uncomfortable for anyone else here or is it just me

#esp since like for example you never see it happen to any of the female/sapphic characters #could just be bc TF's cast is overwhelmingly male and thus ppl want to even the gender ratio a little #but like. ppl spend more time genderbending male characters into women than they do making content for canon women including the sapphics #discourse #like idk sometimes if the art is really good or if i'm in a really good mood i'm like 'yeah this is fine. i admit i like it' #but then there's other times where i'm like. did you rly think it was a good idea to turn a canon gay man into a woman in your AU #like. really really? #idk it's just one of those things where as a baseline i understand genderbend and even enjoy them myself #it's just in this fandom specifically where the way ppl do it sometimes. feels uncomfortable. or at least poorly thought out #that or it's just me getting annoyed by ppl going 'omg i love TF women' and then making 0 content for them #and then complaining that there's not enough female characters #like okay you literally dont even pay attention to the women who are there and just make fanart of men and m/m stuff #kinda feels like you should either put your money where your mouth is or stop complaining about it #or maybe start supporting franchises that actually have even gender balances instead of inventing representation #that only exists in your brain/friend group and the ppl actually making shows (or watching them) dgaf about

Had a conversation last night with someone about the two times I've ever dated and I realized that when it comes to the first guy in middle school who came out as gay after like two weeks, he was probably using me as a beard cuz at one point he called me with his mom and had me tell her we were dating but cuz of anxiety it took several minutes for me to actually say it but that was likely him trying to convince her like "Hey I've got a girlfriend, see I can't be gay!" and like, homophobia from his mom aside, that's really fucking funny that I was a beard without knowing it and like six years later I ended up being a gay guy myself.

#he ended up having to move schools cuz i guess his mom thought that would fix the whole gay thing but it obviously didnt and that like. #sucks that his moms a scumbag and idk what #kinda conversation they had going on between him breaking up with me and him moving schools but like. man i feel bad for him #i met him again years later and he smoked a cigarette in the creek then left the butt in the water DESPITE THAT VERY MUCH NOT BEING A COOL #THING TO DO. so like. turns out hes not a great guy actually. i at least hope his moms not in his life if she still sucks. #personal #btw no im not hurt at all if he really was JUST using me as a beard. which is highly likely. nobody feel bad for me please lmao #and looking back on it. my only date with him was at his church so that lines up too. idk what he was probably catholic or christian

Anyway t4t Junedavesprite (transfem June) (agender any pronouns davesprite) (they're birdfriend and girlfriend) (they're both struggling *HARD* after the game) (they help each other through it) (they're gay) (they're gay) (they're so fucking gay).

You agree.

Reblog.

#davesprites like 'yk you can just. not be a dude right?' but then refuses to accept that *they* might have gender shit going on too #june starts calling her random pronouns to see what sticks and it turns out! it all does! #also davesprite absolutely said birdfriend as an ironic bit before realising 'huh this kinda feels right' #junes like 'i got a new name! its your turn now :B' and starts calling davesprite dave #it refuses to admit how much they like it #(she really likes it) #dave just gives up on wearing shirts but discovers that 'haha yeah skirts are the only clothes i can wear easily isnt that wild' #(he refuses to admit they like how swishy skirts are) #and they're still depressed messes but theyre trying so so hard and theyre trans and gay and in love and <333 #i love them your honour #me.txt

Bounced back and forth, think I'll just make this post-

(Warning: Under the read more, if tumblr keeps the read more intact, is me, an aromantic/aegofictosexual person ramble-ranting about aroaceness in fandom. You're free to scroll past if you wish, or to disagree with me on whatever takes for whatever reason, this is just my one opinion on something I consider to be a big pet peeve of mine.)

(If you read this and go "but I don't do that!", then I trust you, and you're not the kind of person I'm talking about. I'm moreso referring to some things I've personally either witnessed or experienced in previous fandoms, and nobody this applies to will actually see this post unless it, like, gets a bajillion notes...um, hopefully.)

It is so. fricking. frustrating. having my only possible representation in media be like...[that one character] from DR. You know. the otaku or "geek" that's portrayed to be unattractive, "gross", and "weird", and will eventually express sexual attraction to "3D" people, because their attraction to and obsession with 2D was never a sexuality, but intended to be some creepy, incomprehensible thing, and a way to demonstrate their shortcomings and inability to actually court someone.

Characters who actually match my sexuality and experience will never exist unless I make them with my own hands, because both allos and other aces consider me "not ace enough".

This honestly plays a big part in why I'm really touchy about aroace headcanons; because often times they're blatantly used to say people aren't allowed to ship [character a] with [character b] -- and the person making the headcanon is usually 100000% fine with [character a] being put in a gay ship, but will loudly complain if they see them featured in the (usually het, usually canonically teased) first ship. Because it was never about actually writing an aroace character, it was about reframing "ewwww you like THAT ship?? gross uxu what's wrong with you??" into "uhhhmmmm but that character's aroace-coded" "sorry, I can't see them as anything other than aroace" (yeah, I didn't ask? Everyone else gets to talk about THEIR ships with that character and you enthusiastically support them...) And it's like... I feel like these types of headcanons specifically are always presented like, inherently, I'm totally, obviously going to agree with them, and if I don't, then clearly I'm just not aroace. (I wish that was more of a dramatization, but I had someone who I previously told my seuxality to go "oh. well. I'm asexual, so I see this character as aroace-coded, (and I'm right)" <- not outright said but very, very heavily implied, especially because they continuously insisted the character was "canonically aroace-coded", and I just had to sit there like... "...okay, but I'm aroace. (and I think saying that about a clearly het-intended character that's constantly being flirted and canonically shipped in extra side materials with is kinda hurtful)" <- I didn't say that part)

And the fact that no one respects if a character is canonically het or bi kind of plays into why I don't care when a character is canonically gay or ace. If everyone's sexuality is just "gay (MAYBE ace!!!)" or "okay but have you CONSIDERED they might be bi??? (stop putting them in het ships >:((( )" only when it's convenient, then why should I care for my downtime? It doesn't change canon. And I don't feel represented by people's on-the-whim, flimsy-as-fuck headcanons.

But it does still piss me off when people take a reboot or remake or continuation and flagrantly disregard a character's canon sexuality.

And it's upsetting that aroace characters 1. aren't really a thing for the most part, and 2. get written over when they are a thing.

I imagine that when I finally manage to finish one of my stories or games and, y'know, all of my characters are bi/pan/demi because that's what I tend to write...that's probably just gonna get changed to be "whoops everyone's gay lol" by the fandom, and I've already come to terms with that. (Well, by the part of the fandom that isn't populated by "ugh, everything is so WOKE now!" assholes, I'm just gonna pretend they won't even show up because they aren't worth it.) But then, it's also like...if someone officially continued or adapted my properties, and they changed my characters to be all straight or maybe one character gets to be kinda-sorta gay or something, I. I would definitely lose my shit.

-vague gestures-

I don't really know where I'm going with this, I just wanted to say my whole piece without having to worry about being accused of derailing/not listening to a post-

But basically if you're outraged whenever a gay character's sexuality is changed for any reason in any context, I better hear you be that upset about the rest of the possible orientations, and not pulling that shit yourself. I swear to god.

#not important #chaotic rambles #discourse #sorry for the vagueness about characters n stuff i just dont wanna wind up in any fandom searches #how to bridge the fact that im only attracted to fictional characters #with the fact that i have to be repeatedly made to realize i've never seen any character like me in fiction at all ever #only characters that are kinda sorta like me and also the unattractive loser butt of every single joke #also character sexuality is so...weird and not-solid to my brain y'all #i only have like...two or three characters that are full-on gay? out of the hundreds i've written? #about the same for het or ace or...you know any other combinations/other sexualities #it's usually more natural to my brain to have my characters shipped with basically anyone and everyone #and only a few times has a character effectively grabbed me by the horns and went “no. im not into that. and you cannot make me be.” #which creates a funny tidbit where two of my gay characters have radically different tastes in the same gender #so they both think the other one is “weird" and it's just really amusing to me #they also arent attracted to each other due not fitting into each other's tastes #it's just like...the only two men in a gay bar and they hiss at each other like cats #why did it turn out this way? genuinely no clue #i have a third gay man but he's got a third completely unique to him taste and he's just standing there #awkwardly sipping his drink like “oh god neither of these two ask me to agree with them please”

im playing dragon age origins and somehow despite the game being like decades old I haven’t been spoiled for it and don’t know that much about it so I’ve been trying to keep my options open but these fools won’t get off my penis?? everyone’s horny for my chubby elf with an ugly fringe they all want her sooo bad

#the lack of curly haired options in that game is so tragic btw. #on one hand Alastair’s kinda a cute sweet character but he’s also really fucking annoying #he reminds me of this guy I used to bartend with who I thought was gay until he kissed me out of nowhere one night #it was soooo bad I didn’t even know what to say because I was just so shocked by the turn of events I couldn’t even breath #and alistair reminds me of him so much. makes me kinda throw up #leliana is sorry kinda boring to me…. zevran is my man i suppose but I just HATE HIS WEIRD BLONDE HAIR #dao

[waywardsalt]

Have you ever thought about how Linebeck describes Jolene as "crazier than a rabid squid"- only to then be possessed by a literal rabid squid later in the game?

Cause I sure have- especially after seeing a lot of your BellumxLinebeck stuff

mmmmghmm im gonna be honest i haven't thought about it much at all

linking it to my bellum x linebeck thoughts, im not too sure what to make of it in context with my other linebeck notes and w/e

there's also my idea that linebeck has a special interested in shellfish and by extension squids, and the idea of him having a weird thing for bellum, and just... enjoying sealife, and it's kinda of...

he compares her to a rabid squid to link in order to i think... offer a shorthand explanation of what she's like, and i think it (with some other stuff) is kinda just another little peek into how he might feel abt her?

i mean he also compares link to a dog in that one letter? i'm not sure where im going with that one. i dont think linebeck particularly likes dogs

i'm not sure abt the link between that and him getting possessed, jolene is kind of just... there a lot of the time and doesn't really do anything except 1) show that linebeck has enemies and 2) show that people know about link's quest by the end, linebeck generally references sea creatures a few times in ph

relating to bellum x linebeck, i dont see him comparing jolene to a squid an indicator of anything in relation to that, with linebeck having a thing for bellum its more of like. there's a lot of complicated ideas i have with what goes on between them during bellumbeck and bellum being a squid thing is more linebeck having a bit of a monsterfucker streak and having a bit of a thing for like. being tied up. as for literal squids he kinda just likes them as food and to dissect and learn about

like i think 'rabid squid' is more like linebeck just tossing out some derogatory shorthand to explain how he thinks of jolene as some fucking. violent annoyance he has to deal with that he doesn't fully understand

tbh i see the comparison but imo it comes down to a difference in characters and interactions and histories, there is the rabid squid thing (and i think in the manga too theres a vague parallel drawn ig) but im not. sure. what there is there just beyond. linebeck talks about sea creatures and wants to get the fuck away from jolene

i'm not entirely certain what you've been thinking about with that comparison, but i haven't been thinking much about it and it's kinda. eh ig???? its something

#asks #musicncomics #like im gonna be real jolene is a character i do everything i can to avoid half of the time #im not too sure what your thoughts on this are but i can tell you like jolene leagues more than i do so like. idk #idk i have a hard time talking abt jolene bc i Do Not like her so im not really sure beyond this stuff its just. idk #bellum also isnt a literal squid like looking at actual squids the most comparisons are surface level and dont work too deeply #he kinda just looks like one at first glance but 1) doesnt line up well enough and 2) we dont have enough info on him anyways #hes more a reference to a squid than an actual squid bc there is the reference to sperm whales and giant squids fucking hating each other #but while oshus is literal whale bellum is like. some thing in the shape of a squid #im not sure what parallels oyu can draw between the jolene thing and bellum thing. if anything theyre opposites? #w/ jolene its like things got so bad (or w/e) that he just robbed her n fucked off and she decided that was enough to warrant murder #while with bellum things get so good (w/ link and co) that he risks his life for em and is turned against them for it? #tbh this kinda comes down to me having a pretty negative bias against jolene and. that ship. so yeah sorry #im not gonna give this any main tags or anything this is way too far off the beaten path and kinda negative #idk i hc linebeck as gay and a lot of other linebeck hcs just kinda. suggest that he kinda had a really shit time w/ jolene #i dont like her im trying to figure that shit out so i can be like. fair at least in how i write her but i dont like her #salty talks #sorry that i keep tearing away from the rabid squid thing but its like a minefield when i try to talk abt anything w/ jolene #theres not a ton of parallels or like shared themes or w/e and its just too dissimilar in little ways that its just. a thing #ill add this in a few hours later idk if youll see jt but like. i can go in depth and discuss stuff #in dms like im fine with that its just weird in posts bc like tagging and my thoughts are a mess #like if you wanna elaborate on your thoughts thats fine

[specterris]

ok yeah i always got a misogynistic edge from james somerton but felt afraid to say anything 😔✋

#it was that & the pretentiousness that REALLY turned me off from him #im not pulling 'i always knew these guys were bad 😏' btw the internet historian shit is devastating to me #talk tag #ive never tried to dive too deep into it bc. when speaking about his struggles as a gay man #he shouldnt HAVE to spare womens feelings about his own experiences. but it was still always kinda ick #also it turns out he wasnt writing about his own experiences he didnt write any of that shit

[majorbaby]

questions i have about fx’s the bear:

- what’s up with fak’s big, gay (requited?) crush on richie? or else, what are they? weird exes? had a one night stand consisting of mutual masturbation only?

- are marcus and his designer roommate a couple or fwb or just two gay guys living together?

#if it turns out sugar and richie had a thing i'm gonna be a little annoyed #only cuz he's so gay #and was in love with mikey and i don't want that kinda drama for sugar #like i could see him eating pussy recreationally from time to time #like 'sure girl i'll go down on you you've been really going through it lately' #but that is all #re: the bear #hannah bornforastorm my esteemed colleague what are your thoughts

[raindropwindow]

ik you’re not meant to feel this way but I find it rly hard to say I’m ace or aroace (literally don’t know) out loud cos I don’t want it to be true cos I have a scary feeling that if it’s true it’s final and it means I’m gonna be alone. but I have to deconstruct that feeling and think no, being aroace does Not mean being alone, your life is and will be full of love, you never know what’s in the future and you have so much love and happiness yet to find, youre only 20, calm down

#also I was listening to the Adam Buxton podcast and richard e grant was a guest and kinda like him cos he’s a good actor and has vibes etc #but then he was talking about withnail and I #and when asked if he saw withnail as gay he dodged the question and said he played him as asexual #(so many people say OOhhh no they’re not gay they’re asexual and idk it doesn’t sit right cos it’s not genuine ace rep??) #(and it’s also going out of its way to Not he gay rep which is fuckin dumb) #anyway he said he played withnail as asexual becuase he saw withnail as unlovable and mean and not capable of intamicy and love #and I turned off the podcast #cos it sucks heading him essentially say that he gave this character asexuality not from a desire to repsresent it genuinely #but because he’s cold and mean and arrogant so therefore he must be asexual #like !!???!!????? it just smells really bad of a lack of understanding and it just hurts to hear #also withnail was gay #asexual #rant #aroace

[goldicthehedgefox]

y'all ever just have this really big idea that you absolutely have to draw that takes a lot of time and then you just randomly lose the will to draw halfway through it? I need that to stop happening to me, I want those ideas to be FREE and OUTSIDE MY HEAD

#goldic rambles #i'm like 2/3rds done with this random personal project I'm working on and I just. haven't been able to finish it yet #it's a dragon ball thing too so I really want to get it done so I can post it on the side blog #and I just couldn't be fucked to finish it yet for some reason #it's really frustrating cuz it's turning out so well and I don't want it to join the pile of unfinished WIPs but yunno #kinda hard to stop the passage of time or getting brain to focus on anything I want to do ever #[sobs in gay]
