#what other fucking explanation would there be for Hugh Grant to be living in Blanc’s apartment making sourdough bread

I think you perpetually online people need to understand that “queerbaiting” does not mean a character is heavily implied to be a queer person, with a live in partner, but we the audience are not explicitly shown a coming out scene. Queerbaiting is when a character is heavily implied to be a queer person and then it’s explicit confirmed they’re Absolutely Not Queer(tm) and are in a Straight Relationship(tm) and that live in partner they have romantic chemistry with is just their Friendly Roommate(tm). Not everything needs to be shown to you explicitly for you to understand the implications. Having to use critical thinking skills to draw connections between clearly defined and obviously presented dots isn’t queer baiting. For the love of god use your brain cells before they all die and leave your head about as full as an empty peanut shell.

#this is about Beniot Blanc in the glass onion #I saw someone say he was queerbait because his partner used his last name when talking to him #y’all #if my husbands name was beniot I would also just call him Blanc #not to mention everyone in both movies calls Benoit Blanc by his last name #please think about ​if your name was Beniot #you would ask everyone to call you Blanc #that includes your partner #’Beniot’ is reserved for fighting and sex #blanc’s friends on video chat said ‘Paul said you’ve been in the bath for a week straight’ #that’s some husband level meddling #calling his friends and saying ‘you have to talk to him for me he won’t get out of the bath and he’s driving me fucking insane’ #btw Rian Johnson the director AND WRITER of the movie said they’re gay #there’s no subtext or other implication he meant when he had those 2 men living together #what other fucking explanation would there be for Hugh Grant to be living in Blanc’s apartment making sourdough bread #please stop asking for everything on earth to be spoonfed to you or I’m just gonna start shoving the spoon up your ass

I’m not much of a shipper, especially compared to other people on tumblr, so let me tell you I saw the gif set of the scene with Hugh Grant before I saw Glass Onion, just vaguely skimmed it and went “oh? he’s playing a gay husband? how nice, OH this is from Glass Onion? That’s Blanc’s husband? Fucking Neat gotta watch this soon now don’t look at the gifs too hard so I don’t get spoiled any further”

so I am terribly sorry but I gotta say, people’s reaction being “I thought that was his butler” has me like ????? You thought. That  was. his BUTLER? You saw a frazzled looking man in a t-shirt and tie-die apron holding a sour dough starter in the may of 2020 scolding another man for being in the bathtub too long and went “this seems like an emploer employee relationship”? If that had been a fictional english butler Jeeves’ ghost himself would have jumped out from the pages of a Best Of P H Woodehouse collection and politely tossed him out of a window WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS HIS BUTLER why would someone’s BUTLER complain to ANgela LANSBURY about his boss not leaving the bathtub Where did you get that idea from he wasn’t dressed as a butler he didn’t talk like one There are Movie Conventions that will tell you if someone is a butler Hugh Grant telegraphed None of them

what you did there was you gal palled them, you looked at two queer people and went against all evidence for the straightest explanation. “Well why didn’t we see them kiss and stuff” Because they didn’t have to they really didn’t. There is No Fat in that script it’s Yes he’s in a relationship let’s move on. We didn’t even get to see Helen’s makeover! Frankly I had assumed that Blanc is just living alone like so many famous fictional detectives do, Sherlock Homes has his famous flatmate but that’s as far as it usually goes, Columbo has a awife but we never even get to see her, the fact that they just gave Benoit Blanc a spouse and we got to see him in the second installation of the franchise on screen was enough of a shock for me to take in if they had shown us any more domestic stuff I would have dropped dead on the spot

#Glass Onion #you all are so good at media analysis why are you also so bad at it #this is 'Xena and Gabrielle is gay subtext I wish it was canon' all over again THEY KISSED YOU IDIOT THEY GOT MARRIED IN THE FUTURE #I will throw a shoe at someone Oh My God #I'm having an anoyrism or something #anyways watch Glass Onion it's a banger 10/10
