Another round of thoughts on the "Izzy died like a queer-coded character from a pre-gay-lib era" theme:

Every time I check into the Izzy tag or the main OFMD tag, I see people talking about how they liked/weren't shocked by the finale because it always kinda seemed like Izzy was going to die:

The reason it seems that way is because Izzy is the kind of gay character that has, historically, gotten buried.

He's the queer-coded sidekick that has to die to make way for the straight romance, and the queer-coded villain that has to be vanquished to make room for the happy ending (which includes a straight romance).

This time, he died to make way for a gay romance. Diversity win!!! I guess????

And it isn't that anyone thinks--well, probably someone somewhere does think it, but it isn't that I think that DJenks did this because he secretly loves homophobic tropes.

I think--I mean, he's pretty much said, in the interviews--that he did it because he just kinda felt like Izzy had to die to complete his arc. And he's also said he didn't intend to write a homophobic show, what I conclude from that is that he didn't fucking notice that the reason he, IDK, just kinda always felt like Izzy had to die was because of this trope.

That's why, as of the actual filming of the fucking episode, he convinced himself he was doing the "mentor dies" trope, even though he'd never done anything to establish that kind of relationship between the two characters. Because he didn't fucking know why it just kinda seemed right for Izzy to die.

And that, my friends, means that this show is just not as smart as we built it up in our minds to be.

I wasn't even expecting it to be the show where That Character finally gets a happy ending of his own. But I was--because it is a fucking sitcom--expecting it to be one where he ended up somewhere we could imagine a happy ending for him, rather than leaving him bleeding out on the fucking pavement.

*Bianca, Yoko. Xavier & Thing running to stop Ajax*

Bianca: "WHERE DID HE GO??"

Xavier: "I don't know. He just ran off so fast"

Yoko: "He's probably already reached Enid and Wednesday by now"

Thing: *signs* "DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT!"

It's been a while since she last watched some Multiverse shenanigans. This one has her extremely concerned...

sometimes I feel a little... weird? bad? using my yarn for something as ultimately pointless as doll accessories

but also dear god that yarn I bought a few years ago sucks so much? it’s actual wool and it keeps breaking and if I had to make a whole human sized item with it 1. I’d go crazy because it keeps breaking 2. I would never use it out of fear that it’d break

#for the record I bought it from like a well known and respected yarn maker so like #I expected better #it's decent enough for doll stuff but even then just barely #jau rants

So they really killed the Black guy first (Marcus) and ruined their OG Black character (Allison) by making her violate other’s consent, trust, & her own values

#the umbrella academy #I love this show but that first trope is HORRIBLE #I expected better #and I’m so mad about Allison & how they kept on trying to compare her wrongs to everyone else’s grey morality #if you want to redeem a character who’s committed SA you better do better than that #her apology to Luther was NOTHING #TW: SA #I really liked Allison too and her relationship with Viktor #TUA I still love you but you damaged my trust okay #tua spoilers

i hate how queer creators are the ones lashing out at H. like how can you blame somebody for not *publicly* labelling themselves queer, “he hasn’t said he’s queer” BITCH BECAUSE HE CAN’T, how can you accuse somebody, who is inside the goddamn closet, of queerbaiting?? as a part of the community id think you’d understand what the struggle is, id think you’d at least try to pick up on queer coding, id think you’d at least give somebody the benefit of doubt before simply calling them homophobic??

“when i raise this flag above my head, you’re officially out” - RUNS ACROSS STAGE RAISING FLAGS ABOVE HIS HEAD AT ALMOST EVERY SHOW HE CAN AND THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A FAN HAS A SIGN ASKING HIM TO HELP THEM COME OUT.

H raises the blm flag, parades it around, and places it on stage. that is showing support.

H raises queer flags, parades them around, wraps himself in them, dances around with them, lets them fall on his face, screams freedom while holding them, dresses in rainbows, makes his album cover a literal trans flag, writes songs about chosen family, tells everyone every night that he will love them for who they are- i could go on, but can’t you see??

H is fighting. he is doing whatever he can. he puts a toe out of line and has to deal w heavy stunting. and one doesn’t “get used” to that. it takes a toll. yet he continues to express himself the only way he’s allowed. please, please for the love of everything good and pure- listen.

#this is so heartbreaking #we knew there was gonna be backlash after the article but this is extreme #his own community is being so hateful and hostile #i expected better #harry deserves better #harry deserves a better management #harry deserves better fans #harry deserves better. #YOURE IN THE COMMUNITY YOU LITERALLY KNOW CLOSETING EXISTS. #HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BLAME THE CLOSETED PERSON FOR BEING CLOSETED?? #fuck you honestly #do better #harry styles #rolling fucking stones you assholes #you twisted H’s words and added your own bullshit to sell whatever the fuck image you wanted #are you happy?? i hope you’re fucking happy. and i hope thats the last drop of happiness you ever feel in life
