Only Friends: And Another Thing
No, because I'm still annoyed. I know only like me and four other people in BL fandom remember Noah's Arc, but this is my big problem with having grown up desperate for queer cinema and fighting for my life to watch what I can, especially when it was about Black people.
In episode 2 of Noah's Arc, Wade (who is straight) invites Noah over to hang out and proposes a threesome with a woman friend of his. Wade eventually gets jealous of Noah and Brandy kissing and asks her to leave. Noah and Wade talk about it, and Noah cuts through the BS to say that they shouldn't hang out because he's falling for Wade, and then the two have sex.
What's different between Only Friends and Noah's Arc is Noah is codependent as hell on his friends and sneaks off to call his friends to tell them what happened, and we also see the afterglow scene between Noah and Wade.
youtube
Noah: How do you feel? Wade: I feel good...and scared...but mostly good. Alex: And what did you say? Noah: Don't worry. I'll protect you... Noah, to his friend: Of course, what I don't know...is who's gonna protect me. Alex: Uh, hello? We will! Ricky: Yeah! Noah: And what I didn't say is I'm scared, too. Chance: That makes four of us.
I just don't think these characters in Only Friends captured the way a messy friend group feels. The tension between "I love you because you're my friend" and "I can hurt you so much because I know you" and "Why can't I be loved?" is just missing from this project.
Sex was such a big deal for Mew and we didn't get anything like this to see how sex affected him.
I am once again begging you all to watch For The Boys

Honestly the CFVY-SSSNN-BY-JPR polycule goes insane.
Sun is just like: This is my girlfriend Velvet and her girlfriend Coco and boyfriend Yatsuhashi, and his boyfriend Fox. This is my other girlfriend Blake and her girlfriend Yang. And these are my boyfriends Sage, Neptune, and Scarlet. That's Scarlet's boyfriend Nolan, that's Neptune's boyfriend, Jaune. Finally those are Juane's boyfriend Ren and girlfriend Nora who are also dating each other. Did I miss anybody? No? Yeah that's everyone.
Ruby: ...I just asked you for the name of your weapon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel that people who say stuff like this are straight up lying? Or is there some important piece of information I'm missing?
Tumblr media
It's unbelievable to me that some people would like that non-canon ships like Stucky or any other non-canon ships paved the way for representation in modern media. Unbelievable.
Destiel, maybe, because of how big the fandom is/was but even Supernatural and even Destiel started out small and got popular because of the fandom and the ship(s).
I feel like people who saying they started shipping non-canon couples because their wasn't any LGBT representation in the media at the time aren't being genuine. I say that because before joining Tumblr, I didn't even know shipping non-canon couples was a thing (I had heard of Destiel, but it was more of a concept to me, even though I unironically watched SPN).
I feel that was they mean is that there wasn't any representation in popular shows or maybe they mean they weren't enough main characters. But otherwise there was!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are just the one I can think of on the top of my head, but there are much more and there is en more if you go outside of the US. And these are just the shows.
If we add the movies... well!!!
You want romance with a Happy Ending?
Tumblr media
You want Murder Mystery?
Tumblr media
You want Drama?
Tumblr media
There are so many many more and, yes these weren't blockbusters but it's not "no représentation and Stucky and Destiel were the only options"
Grey's Anatomy started out at the exact same time as Supernatural and now has over a dozen canon LGBT characters and half of them are/were main characters (Callie, Arizona, Amelia, Teddy, Yasuda, Helm)
When I joined Tumblr, I never even for a minute thought shipping was about representation or activism because there were so many shows and movies I knew but they were barely talked about on here.
Not criticizing ships by any means but I feel like people are trying to pretend that shipping is something it isn't.
In my humble opinion, non-canon ships were never about representation. Shipping was just shipping
I wasn't on Tumblr at the time, but I was on Youtube (old school) and to me, the people who were doing edits of the canon ships, in shows and movies were the real heroes.
Some people might say : "but those characters are side characters or weren't in major blockbusters/popular shows".
But fandoms could have decided to make them more popular if they wanted. Because believe it or not, Supernatural was a niche show at the beginning and I don't think it would have been as popular or gotten as many seasons without the shippers. They chose to make the non-canon couple (at the time) popular. So the fans could have done the same with shows that have canon LGBT characters But they didn't, they focused on non-canon couples.
I have no problem with shipping non-canon couples at all, I do it too, but I'm really surprised by people who want to make it seem like it's some kind of activism... It's not.
And I know there wasn't enough representation that's true, but why focus your energy on shows with absolutely no canon LGBT characters and pretend it's activism??
You guys could have had Noah's arc or Hit the Floor renewed and you focused your energy on Marvel characters.
Tumblr media
And some people will say they ship Destiel anyway because they want fantasy and paranormal... Well does nobody remember Dante's Cove? Was it a fever dream😂? I admit the writing was bad, but have you seen the writing in Supernatural (I say this as a SPN fan)???
Tumblr media
And I know some people will say they ship Marvel characters because they have a bigger audience and there were no canon Queer characters in blockbusters, but I feel like that a lie too because when there were indeed Queer characters in those blockbusters, they were ignored as well. Like in the Eternals.
Tumblr media
Fandoms can be so powerful when they want to...they can make or break a movie, so acting like the focus on non canon couples was the only option surprises me.
Shipping is just about shipping. It's a hobby.
Stucky or any non-canon Marvel ship isn't "History", it's just a ship.
Last exemple: Let's take a look at 2 popular couples from the same franchise: 9-1-1 and 911: Lone Star. Only one of the couples in canon, but Can you Guess which one is more popular on Ao3 and on Tumblr ?
Tumblr media
The non-canon couple!
Almost 3 Times as much fics for Buddie than TK x Carlos who are an actualcouple and even got married!
Shipping non-canon couples isn't about representation but about finding a story to fantasize about, which isn't bad itself but it's bad when you pretend shipping is something it isn't?
TL:DR: Shipping non-canon couples isn't activism imo.
I would be happy to hear tour thoughts because as I said, I only joined Tumblr later so I don't have all the info.

Neptune: *on his scroll* Shit. Fuck. Dammit. I-I can’t believe I told my parents I finally had a girlfriend. They’ve already invited us to dinner at a restaurant. Reservations and everything.
Jaune: Can’t you find anyone to go with you for one night?
Neptune: I wish!
Jaune: Well, don’t worry. Just tell your parents that you’re taking an Arc.
Neptune: Wait, seriously?! You’ll hook me up?!
Jaune: You bet, man. What are homies for?
That Night...
Jaune: *is crossdressing in a fancy dress and is wearing make-up* Oh my~ Your parents have pretty nice tastes, Neptune.
Neptune: D-dammit, Jaune! I thought you’d be hooking me up with one of your sisters!
Jaune: Well excuuuuuuuuse me, Neptune. All I said was that you’d be bringing an Arc. One of us is a liar here, but it’s not me.
Neptune: Son of a... (D-dammit, I hate how well he pulls off that damn dress!)

you know what? I'll say it. The story of Noah's arc or whatever it's named in english is DUMB. How do you intend on remaking species without using incest and causing genetical dysfunctions with only two animals, GENIUS

I kinda want Noah's arc to be canon mainly because it would make the love triangle plot from v2 really funny.
Also because there's no straight explanation for Neptune's expression while watching Jaune dance.

WAKE THE FUCK UP, GAY PEOPLE!
I have waited over ten years for this!!
Director Patrik-Ian Polk shared the news while accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award at the second annual SpeakOut “I AM” Awards in D.C. last night, according to Gaye Magazine. “I am very happy to confirm that there is, indeed, more Noah’s Arc coming,” announced Polk to a mass of cheers. “And it is coming this year.” The original cast — Darryl Stephens (Noah), Jensen Atwood (Wade), Christian Vincent (Ricky), and Rodney Chester (Alex) — were all in attendance at the awards ceremony to celebrate Polk’s achievement. Only missing was Doug Spearman (Chance), who sent in a heartfelt video in his absence to thank Polk for his legacy in both the industry and within his career.
