Is this a good moment to cordially invite the Ballum fandom to BL tumblr? Look, we have almost everything you want for the low price of reading (sometimes slightly wobbly) english subtitles!

cocky short gays with too much trauma:

shady gays:

gay mechanics:

gay signing:

complicated father-son relationships:

desperate kissing:

thighs:

aaaand we even have dark rooms!

actually... yeah, for our photographer gays:

I know we're all a little heartbroken right now, so I hope this suggestion maybe helps someone fill the void that Ben's exit will leave. A lot of BL shows are free to watch on youtube and if you go in with an open mind, they can be so much fun!

Sending love to the Ballum fandom now that Max is officially gone. I’m sorry your ship ended in a similar way to Robron. Two really amazing ships that deserved so much better. Just know that nothing can ever take away what that ship meant to you. Even if you never see Ballum together again they can still live on in fandom.

Max Bowden was just axed. Fml. I loved Ballum😭😭😭😭😭 Max's portrayal of Ben was so good too. This is a major loss for the show imo.

As you all know, Ben is leaving us very soon. @queerly-autistic and I wanted to do something to show Max all our love and appreciation for everything he’s brought to this character, so we’ve come up with two different ways for us to do that:

🤲 Justgiving page for Brain Tumour Research Campaign where you can make a donation as a token of thanks to Max for everything:

✍️ Kudoboard where you can post a message/picture to Max. Keep it upbeat; share your love for Ben and the stories he’s told!

The aim is to give Ben a good send off, utilising our power like we’ve done throughout the Ballum years to make a difference; and to show Max how much we appreciate him and what he’s done for the character of Ben, for the fandom and for the causes he cares so deeply for.

(Just a note about the Kudoboard: it doesn’t let you proceed without putting a first and last name, so if you don’t want to use your full name you can either use an initial or any word and then edit the post afterwards to remove!)

I just can't stop thinking about what an EE writer has recently posted online about current storylines. If I remember correctly, he claimed they're working hard to keep the show fresh and relevant - or something along those lines.

Therefore, I should assume they will soon get rid of Ballum (well... they have been in the process of making them irrelevant for quite some time now, actually) because the novelty has worn off and the audience can no longer relate to them or their relationship.

I can't even find the words to express how insulting that statement sounds to me.

They're telling me that the ordeal of an SA survivor - a male survivor at that - getting professional help, learning to accept and live with his trauma - and possibly getting justice, one day - would be of no interest to the audience.

They're telling me that said survivor and his husband (who loves him unconditionally) endeavoring to overcome their intimacy issues and slowly rebuilding their physical connection, despite inevitable triggers and setbacks, would be in no way relevant to viewers.

They're telling me that watching these two husbands raise THEIR(!) motherless daughter and navigate through the troubled waters of teenage life, helping her develop her potential, always supporting her despite their own personal struggles, possibly arguing because of different parenting styles, would not resonate with anybody in the public.

They want me to believe that nobody would relate to a young man struggling with an eating disorder (but willing to do whatever it takes to get better) who is currently in therapy, and who is inevitably faced with issues such as lack of control, anxiety, feelings of shame and guilt.

They are seriously stating that they don't know what to do with a character who's a detective, somebody who could provide endless opportunities to explore the social/economic/cultural roots of a number of common offences (and a sensitive, kind-hearted copper, who would empathise with at least some of the offenders, and thus feel conflicted about his job).

So, I'm confused..., what exactly is considered 'fresh and relevant' in their universe?
