#gays are truly winning

[willow-dino]

Sometimes a family is a human mage who will die tomorrow, an ancient star elf ghost imprisoned for terrible crimes, and their maybe biological bug child created to be a sacrifice <3

My partner made a comment about how this episode fed into “bury your gays” and like, while his heart was in the right place with the critique, I felt so strongly the opposite way

Like on its face, yes, two gay men died…. But like, in a show about a zombie apocalypse where we’re tracking at least 1 Major Character Death per episode, Bill & Frank are triumphant compared to every other character. They got to live to be old and gray together after a life of relatively peaceful flourishing. They chose their deaths on their own terms, a luxury most people don’t get in this world. They got to die together, in each others arms, neither left to live and suffer alone. They got to go with dignity, autonomy, and love, in peace, together. They got to choose. They made their end meaningful. They were happy and satisfied and fulfilled. Everything that gay characters are so often not afforded in life, much less in death.

Not only that, but narratively speaking, their deaths were used in exact opposition to “bury your gays.” The trope was created to reinforce that being gay is a sin, that gays must die as punishment for their evil ways. It’s intended to be a narrative consequence, the moral of the story, a warning to its audience.

But the deaths of Bill and Frank were used as closure to a story arc about living a happy, fulfilled life with your partner. Even further than that, their arc was used to demonstrate that there is meaning in life because we choose to create meaning, that purpose is found in each other, in loving someone, even at the end of the world. They are held up as an example of what to strive for, of a reason to keep living, of something to pursue. It is completely antithetical to bury your gays and is in fact a brilliant subversion of it in that it grounds the purpose of the narrative itself.

Tl;dr: TLOU really said love wins.

#the last of us #tlou #hbo the last of us #hbo tlou #the last of us spoilers #bill and frank #look I’m still a mess but I’m SO glad it didn’t end with bill getting shot and dying right there #the gays stay winning #the absolute best way to go is together with your partner in their arms in peace #this is my hill and I’m dying on it #this just means a lot to me ok #truly the representation we deserved #berry your gays

so apparently. dc editorial/carmine infantino decided bruce wayne was gay. in the early 1970s. and then every single bronze age writer proceeded to ignore it. no one actually followed through. if elliot s! maggin's recollection from 40 years later is accurate.

“No you don’t understand, Elliot,” Archie interrupted me. “This morning Bruce Wayne was a millionaire playboy who wasn’t gay, but now he is gay.” “Really?” I said. “Yeah,” Julie said. “So from now on Bruce Wayne is gay, until further notice.”

#bruce wayne #im hollering. discoveries you can only make at 1:45am on a monday while looking for something else. im. this is surreal. #'until further notice' well no further notice was given!!!! so!!!!!!!! thanks julie!!!!!!!!! taking this and running with it!!!! #they targeted him with the engayification rainbow beam but he did a batman and juked it. sad! #the truly fascinating thing here is that this was in an effort to differentiate the batman and bruce wayne personas #so in making bruce wayne gay...would that mean that they were going to make batman straight. in what world #well. gay bruce persona + straight batman i think = bisexual bruce. love wins. (i am bisexual i can make that joke) #thank you es!m for writing the best superman stories and also revealing this in the backwater nook of quora. truly he keeps on giving #'no one followed through' actually doug followed through in wf289 but the people aren't ready for that conversation

Prongsfoot Microfic: Kindred

@prongsfoot-microfic - 2/28 - 237 words

“That’s not fair, they can read each other’s minds!” Peter complained when Sirius figured out James’ pictionary clue from nothing more than a circle with an arrow pointing into it. “They shouldn’t be allowed to be on a team together. How could anyone get ‘Captain’ from that?”

“I can’t read his mind, I’m just better than you are at this game” Sirius said, cocky from their seventh consecutive victory.

“We are simply kindred spirits,” James agreed, a wide grin across his face, “who know each other very well.”

“Bloody cheaters is what you are,” Peter muttered, still sounding irritated. Remus, his partner, was just sitting next to him on the couch looking entertained. He, at least, had gotten used to losing ages ago. From the first evenings they’d started playing, really. 

“We simply work well together,” James said. He didn’t sound like he was taunting - his tone was friendly - but Peter still took offense to it.

“Then partner with me next time and Padfoot can go with Moony. It’ll be a more even match up.”

Remus laughed, which brought all of their attention to him.

“Oh come on, Pete, that’s never going to happen,” Remus said, “They’re going to be a team in every game we play them. You simply have to get used to it.”

James and Sirius grinned at each other madly because Remus was right. They were a team until the end of time.

not to be a woman womaning all over the place but i feel like if you genuinely like. do not have friends that are women then you have something to work on. if you cant think of any female characters that you treat the same way you do male characters then you have something to work on. if you cant handle even seeing "i dont like being called a guy/bro/lad/etc because it doesnt feel gender neutral to me" but can understand when one of your masc besties is uncomfortable with being called girlie or sister then you have something to work on. if your default in regards to how you handle other people and even characters is to assume masculinity then you have something to work on. if you cant even let women and otherwise feminine people speak about our experiences without bringing up how you suffer too then you have something to work on.

it doesnt matter if youre queer or a poc or a minority in whatever which way, if you do not include women in your life and cant even stand a fucking inch of genuine feminism (and i dont mean terfs but god is it fucking agonizing that thats all you people can think of when you hear feminism anymore) where the point is to treat women, all women, equally then you have something to work on. listen to women, even the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours (hell ESPECIALLY the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours). just like how we all have to check ourselves for racism, ableism, queerphobia, we all have to check ourselves for misogyny too. stop acting like it got solved at some point. it still exists and it exists within you and you have to actually fucking work on that. "women should be included in your life and you should listen to them" shouldnt be a hard goddamn pill to swallow.

#mask mews #truly i dont think if you can call yourself a feminist then thats a red flag. actually. like legit #yes fuck terfs we all fucking hate terfs but if thats all you can think of when you hear feminism youre letting them win #youre lettin the misogynistic assholes who call people 'feminazis' win. the mras the pieces of shit who treat our rights like a debate topic #and no transmascs yall are not exempt from them just because youve experienced misogyny too #i see misogyny from queer men all the time and yall need to stop acting like being a minority #prevents you from being harmful to other minorities #black men often perpetuate misogynoir. trans men often perpetuate transmisogyny. gay men often perpetuate lesbophobia #just as women can perpetuate the harmful shit against all of those groups too #we're all being shit to each other and we all need to check ourselves and im tired of people acting #like its just okay to like. exclude women from shit #its exhausting and its misogynistic and i think especially in this fandom none of you ever moved on from thinking gaming is only for men #watch yourselves. watch how you talk about women. about femininity. #how when yall talk about the annoying cis white women #its clear which of yall are annoyed about the cis white parts. and which of yall are annoyed about the woman part

finding that intersection/overlap between butch and transmasc is so liberating for me, i wish i had the words to explain it. it's like how a part of me, even after figuring out i'm an aspec trans guy still felt so connected to lesbianism in such a deep way that mainly related to my gender and now i finally get what that is. i'm always a guy, always he/him but sometimes i'm a butch lesbian too.

#and i'm always gay anyway you look at it bc my partner is nb genderfluid so i'm truly just winning in that regard

I’m probably deeply biased because he is played by Rahul Kohli but I’m on the 4th episode of The Fall of the House of Usher and I’m finding Leo Usher significantly more sympathetic than his siblings

#NO SPOILERS PAST EP 4 PLEASEEEEE #oh he cheats? and he does drugs? and he sucks as a person? #like yeah of course he does he’s a trust fund baby #and yes he killed that cat. but I feel like he wouldn’t have killed that cat if Verna wasn’t in control #like everyone else is Truly Horrible #they abuse their subordinates and sexually manipulate them #or they plan to blackmail people with cctv footage of consensual sex acts and drug use including their sister in law #or LET A WOMAN POSSIBLY DIE IN SURGERY WHEN THEY THINK SHE’S A POOR PERSON WITH A HEART DEFECT AND LIE TO HER ABOUT THE CHANCE OF DEATH #LIKE VICTORINE IS EVIL IM SORRY SHE MAY BE HOT BUT SHE’S EVIL #sorry leo you didn’t deserve to die like that you were a grade a asshole but I could see there was a heart and a kindness #buried under the drugs and your father’s influence and money. rehab and therapy and being cut off could have saved you #I’m not questioning Verna. but I’m saying hey honey maybe this one. this one could have been a better fix #YO VERNA GAY????
