for me origposting(trueposting. etc. many names) is like. a balance against reblogging. which is sort of an excess or induglence. . as long as the poasting isnt diaryposting. well actually some diaryposting is okay but some is just boring. some posting is simply excretion, some is "communication". but theyre the same act. at least seemingly. i think these might be the same somehow? all language as excretion?

i’ve been thinking about the relationship between tptb and fandom and how fandoms with an antagonistic relationship with its tptb are more resilient than fandoms with positive relationships so since spn fandom has been at war with the show basically its whole existence, it’s probably immortal? and then i kept thinking and i realised that tptb seems to be at war with themselves, too. the network wants one thing the showrunner another and every writer has their own agenda and the showrunner does NOT seem to force them to get along.

the foremost example of this is how every single writer desperately tries to kill off buckleming’s ocs as soon as they get the chance but then buckleming just resurrect them in their next episode. do you think they drew straws about who would get to write 15x03 and do a twofer.

#origpost #text #spn posting on main #the funniest instance of this is either ketch #who gets offed very definitively by berens and then buckleming brings him back at the earliest opportunity by having him pretend to be #his own twin brother (??????) #or the way the entire writer's room keeps trying to kill rowena and buckleming keep bringing her back in increasingly contrived ways #but this happens to lucifer and donatello too #actually wait is it berens who does donatello too #no it was meredith glynn #you go meredith glynn

Been writing a fanfic for months. That stupid thing is 17.5 K (30 pages) I reread it one last time... One page in, I remember one crucial detail from the series.

Now, I have to rewrite 29 pages.

I hate how as black people we have to say "people of color" when we're discussing something that either is for ,or effects, black people exclusively bc we are conditioned to believe that nothing can ever be solely about/for us. We always have to share our space and if we don't then we're labeled as exclusionists.

P.S. if you have anything negative to say about this argue with your reflection because I don't care

You know what's the funniest thing about arc 7-8 to me?

It's revealed that Vincent has never bedded a woman nor had children.

When the rumors of Vincent's illegitimate son spread, Chisha, Vincent's closest servant since their teenage years, who spent quite a lot of time with him, refuses to believe them, and acts defensive when Berstetz suggests that there may be things about Vincent that Chisha doesn't know. After all, Vincent always made sure to never even share a bedroom with a woman so that no one could create such rumors. There's no way Vincent could have had children without Chisha knowing.

Serena, who has unsuccessfully tried seducing Vincent before, explicitly mentions the possibility of his being gay to his face, even though she already knows the reason is something else. Vincent doesn't deny that (nor react to it in any way for that matter), by the way.

Only 3-4 chapters after that conversation with Serena happens, we're shown Chisha's backstory and motives. Surprise, what we thought was betrayal at first is actually part of a secret, elaborate plan to save Vincent from his prophesied death. They face each other "at a distance so close their eyelashes could touch" right before Chisha sacrifices himself while gazing one last time at his beloved liege with a "decadent smile" on his lips.

"Why?" Vincent asks the corpse more than once, well aware that it won't reply. This is Vincent, the man who'd rather keep his mouth shut if he has nothing useful to say. And what's more useless than directing a question to a corpse?

Later, Vincent, on the verge of a breakdown, asks Subaru, whom he suspects to be a Stargazer, why he let Chisha die instead of him. Vincent had accepted his death. But that's not what Chisha wanted. "He was angry that fate intended to kill you, and also angry at you for surrendering to fate." Now it's Vincent's turn to stand up to fate. That's what Chisha would've loved to see.

Then Tappei introduces an arranged marriage plot between Vincent and Medium (who, by the way, is already interested in another man) to pretend he didn't just write the gayest thing in Re:Zero.

the question of queerbaiting in thick as thieves is a complicated one, most notably because a lot of the tactics creators usually use to avoid committing to the inclusion of gay characters, i.e., subtext and ambiguity, waffling on word of god, and keeping people hooked on the potential for payoff somewhere far in the future, are things megan whalen turner happens to already do all the time, about everything. mwt loves withheld information and unreliable narrators, and that’s part of what makes the series so great, but it also makes it difficult to evaluate what exactly is happening re: costis/kamet in tat and whether gay readers are being strung along.

the effects of developing a same-gender romance ambiguously are flat-out not the same as those of doing something similar with a straight one. the m/f relationships in qt, while they may have subtle or even subtextual build-up, all eventually have a definitive way out of that ambiguity, namely marriage. gen/irene was buried under five layers of double meanings and biased pov right up until he asked her to marry him, at which point everything that was only hinted at before became very clear. without access to this and other unambiguous social signifiers of relationships, gay characters – especially in this story, where we see so much at a distance – may be doomed to stay in maybe-land forever. 

this is, of course, also a problem when we look at many historical people or mythological characters (like gilgamesh and enkidu, to whom the heroes of kamet’s stories are very similar). with same-gender relationships in stories like this, the burden of “proof” is on the reader, and on that proof often rests the legitimacy of the existence of gay people in general in the world of the story. this context means that inconclusive costis/kamet is not the same as the subtextual lead-up to a ship like gen/irene. 

but it is, big surprise, because this is queen’s thief, complicated. the ways in which people’s relationships and character can be (mis)interpreted by observers, the inaccessibility of others’ intimacy, the uneasy balance of the public and the private, are all essential themes in qt. the social place of a relationship like costis and kamet’s, the language used to describe it, and how others view them vs. how they view themselves all make perfect sense as continued explorations of the ideas we’ve seen before. and with the first-person narration qt books in particular, like this one, it’s important to take into account the character’s intended audience and how that affects what they do and don’t say (which was a major idea mwt wanted to explore with the thief in the first place). kamet is writing for relius and for public record, so he’s obviously going to want to skirt around the emotional nitty gritty of his relationship with costis, which explains why their relationship feels sometimes like there are pieces missing (11 days in the taymet mountains, anyone?).  

do i think we’re meant to interpret costis and kamet’s relationship as romantic? yes, i genuinely do. the book contains multiple references to the possibility of men being interested in men, costis was already a character i was pretty sure was interested in men, they’re compared to flippin’ gilgamesh and enkidu, and they go off to live together at the end. but i’m frustrated with having to read and write essays about why i think such-and-such same-gender relationship is meant to be interpreted as romantic, when straight people are getting married and kissing on page. i don’t necessarily think that mwt should have done anything differently in this book, as all she’s done is stick with the convention she’s established re: narrative subjectivity. what we see of costis and kamet’s relationship is limited to what kamet is comfortable presenting publicly. that’s fine. however, i do hope for follow-through in the final book similar to what she’s done with her straight characters, where we eventually peel back that public face and see at least a glimpse of the real intimacy. otherwise, it’ll be the same baiting we’ve seen a thousand times, where straight people get their definitive relationship payoff and everybody else is relegated to the vague.
