#yeah i was playing this character as gay

[bottlehawk]

i had this fun early 2000's family comedy spy movie idea in my head where dirk is a super secret international spy who had kids with roxy when they were young (accident). roxy took the twins and now dirk lives with his buddy and spy partner jake out at some super secret hideout in the middle of nowhere. they're planning one of the biggest heists of the century when someone manages to trigger one of the alarms and infiltrate their base and they catch the intruder and it's dirk's 12 year old daughter, rose, who's doing a presentation on her family for school and wants to interview dirk so she can get an A+ for it.

meanwhile at home dave is freaking out because he's been dressing up and pretending to be rose for the past few days but the babysitter their mom hired after heading out on an important business trip is starting to get suspicious about the fact that dave and rose never seem to be in the same room...

yeah. rose would be one of those advanced college reading level genius kids who uses big fancy vocab words and is extremely smart and adjusts speedily in a scary way. she'd tag around dirk and jake in the base for a while as they try to figure out what to do with her and get involved in their heist and try to help out somehow. also there'd probably be some family drama moments between dirk and rose and all that. dave would be wearing one of those gamer boy middleschool tshirts in every scene and playing fake videogames on a xbox. simon pegg would appear at some point.

#rose lalonde #dirk strider #jake english #dave strider #homestuck #bottlehawk art #bottlehawk text #spystuck au #? #it'd be one of those summer blockbuster movies that get churned out for families and kids #there'd also be at least 5 different hour long video essays in the 2020s about the homosexual subtext of 2 men raising a kid together #but in the film they'd just be bros and then maybe one of the actors would be like in a mtv interview #yeah i was playing this character as gay

here’s another idea:

how about an alice in wonderland au? Pandora as Alice, and Lily as the Queen of Hearts. It would sort of be an enemies to lovers. And Lily has to say ‘Off with your head!’ right?

what if she hesitates? what if instead, she calls for Pandora to be locked up instead of beheaded?

and so at nights, Lily goes to meet Pandora. And they get to know each other. Lily inevitably has to get Pandora out without ruining her own reputation.

and we have Barty as the Mad Hatter, Dorcas as the Cheshire Cat, Regulus as the White Rabbit and Evan as her brother (sister in the originals but yeah) or the March Hare

#alright lily isn’t the best character for queen of hearts #but pandora reminds me of alice too much #i did my research on this #the king of hearts actually pardons the criminals that the queen sentences in private #so few actually get executed #but here it is inevitable for pandora to be locked up #especially with lilys attention on her now #anyway it is pretty different from the originals like this #(the queen is literally a playing card after all) #so yeah #marauders era #dead gay wizards #regulus black #barty crouch jr #evan rosier #dorcas meadowes #pandora rosier #pandora lovegood #pandora lestrange #lily evans #alice in wonderland #alice’s adventures in wonderland #fanfiction #au

by the way i've been going through rtd's non-doctor-who work and the first thing i watched was queer as folk and i have to say. there's a lot going on in that show but my main takeaway is "it's extremely obvious that the guy writing this really wants to write doctor who." there are ten episodes and of those i believe seven mention doctor who in some capacity. the theme starts playing in the middle of gay sex. k-9 is there. the character responsible for most of these references breaks up with his boyfriend because the boyfriend can't name all the doctors. at the end he has a couple lines where i was like "wow this sounds like something the doctor would say" and then the next lines out of his mouth were about doctor who. all of this is retroactively much funnier now that rtd kickstarted a 20+-year-long reboot for the show

#doctor who #like the show itself is not all that similar to doctor who beyond like. rtd having a pretty clear voice as a writer #like the characters aren't similar the plots aren't similar it's a totally different genre #and like. ostensibly doctor who comes up so much because one particular character is a fan #but like. you can *tell* that it's coming from a place of appreciation and knowledge on the writer's part #i don't know. if i'd been an adult in 2004 and i'd seen queer as folk and then heard that that guy was going to be writing doctor who. #well i simply would not have been surprised. #i would've been like. yeah good for that guy. proud of him. #(i also found an interview with rtd from like. 2000. where he was like 'yeah i was going to do doctor who but then someone new came in so #that's probably not happening anymore :/' and again. very funny to read in retrospect) #anyway. the funniest reference was the theme playing mid-gay-sex because for half a second i thought i was watching the wrong show #and it had gone to the opening credits #also i need to find out if they used the original k-9 prop because i think that would be EXTREMELY funny

Suddenly got the inexplicable urge to watch the Cats musical again. And then I remembered this ask I answered on my sideblog and giggled like an idiot

#I LOVE CATS!! SHUT UP!! IT’S SO GOOD!!!! #The 2019 movie ruined its reputation 😭 #The OG 1998 stage version that was recorded…MWAH. PERFECTION #Anyway I love watching Tugger praise his boyfriend for four minutes in song form as Misto does his gay little dance #Forever salty at how the 2019 movie BUTCHERED Misto’s character #Me: He would NOT act like that #OG Misto is confident in his abilities and has every right to be #Misto: Yeah I can do magic. And? #Cats #Cats musical #Shima speaks #I grew up being like. OBSESSED with Cats. So it has a very special place in my heart <3 #Used to be a Macavity girlie now I am a Mistoffelees girlie all the way #I love the way Jacob plays him in the 98 version <3 #All the Jellicles: Deut is missing what do we do?!! #Tugger: WAIT #Tugger: Let him cook. #Misto: 🏳️‍🌈✨🩰 #And then he fixes everything. LMAOOO

[doctorwhoisadhd]

you know that tweet thats like about when male writers find out their big passionate audience is women and they do dumb shit to punish them? i just saw a version of that post where someone said steven moffat do that with doctor who. and like im not even saying that steven moffat doesnt do that cause i only know his dw work but ????? what the absolute fuck are you talking about. he absolutely did NOT do that with doctor who. like????? if anything he did the opposite???????

#like from the start he DID write strong female characters who are allowed to be angry and bossy?????? #yeah he fucked up along the way but it was never in a Punishing Female Fans way what the fuck???????? #the literal one female companion who he actually permanently killed off during his run was river and he did that in her literal first story #so like you CANNOT be telling me its not telegraphed #also 3 of the 4 female companions during his run are explicitly gay or bi. #he also spent the entirety of 12 era (and arguably the entirety of his tenure as showrunner tbh considering 11 thought he could be a girl i #his first moments) trying to say that the doctor could be played by a woman / that women can also be the doctor #between introducing the first mention of cross gender regeneration. the first offscreen cross gender regeneration. the first onscreen cross #gender regeneration. claras doctorification arc. #ari opinion hour #i am begging moffat haters to stop making themselves look like they piss on the poor. #like COME ON at least make arguments that arent straight up lying. the bar is on the floor #some bonff

Speaking of Fizz, really hope these scenes are him singing because Alex Brightman deserves to sing a solo song and one that isn’t incredibly short or dialogue filled.

Like yeah I bitch about not caring that much about Fizz but I love Alex Brightman so much, dude is INSANELY talented for obvious reasons and while I still don’t like the concept of this show having songs in it, I’ll take it if it’s Alex singing. Like…you put him in this shit show, so let him at least go all the way with his talent please.

#he’s still a waste for this show like he deserves to be in something better #and I still hate how he’s literally playing the same character like I’m sorry but Fizz is Beetlejuice 2.0 #I remember being so disappointed when Ozzie’s came out because I was expecting Alex to sing some epic villain song and it was just…about sex #but yeah check out other stuff Alex is in because he’s amazing #and yeah I will admit I feel like part of me only cares about Fizz because Alex is voicing him #again I will say Fizz in a way can be sympathized with since we know something fucked up happened #but his character is nothing special like he’s still your average Viv gay twink #Alex also said Fizz’s backstory made him cry and….yeah I doubt it will move me the same but we’ll see #helluva critical #helluva boss criticism

looking for gifs and saw these four all together…

top two show him in love (with will) and bottom two show him kiddie crushing (on eddie). there’s a comfortableness and deep love in the first ones that the other two don’t have, which in place of show a giddy admiration. he looks up to eddie and he feels equal to will. such a subtle yet obvious difference! the quality of finn wolfhard’s acting everybody

#I am stanley in the corner #I had a bit of a moment when I saw this lol #like we know we know #but 4.01 is so genius in the way it shows mikes sexuality #aside from all the hints like when he’s looking for someone to join dnd and his room decor etc we’ve never seen him have a crush before #ik it’s only subtextual it’s not canon canon but we’ve seen dustin and lucas and other characters crushing on ppl #but not mike yet. he’s never looked at anyone like that not even will (cuz it’s different) like he’s clearly intimidated by eddie #as is dustin #he’s a bit on edge around him #but he looks at him and the lyrics of fever playing and how he acts in contrast to dustin in that scene is telling #and then comparing it to one’s with will #he’s so comfortable with will #and he’s prob one of the only ppl that doesn’t make him feel inferior #random thoughts spilling out but yeah #mike wheeler #byler #gay mike wheeler

i may or may not have lost my silly little mind when i've seen my beloved Graham Chapman showing up like this, military uniform and arrow through the neck, in a sketch of Monty Python's Flying Circus

i won't even say it, i will simply put this in the BBC Ghosts tag

#also the fact that graham chapman (a gay man) often played military officers in the show... yeah ❤️ #bbc ghosts #patcap #monty python's flying circus #graham chapman #i love him so much #also featuring eric idle #i didn't want to cut him off #great sketch too! #(disclaimer. i'm not even a patcap shipper although i like the ship) #(i lost my mind because two characters i love were fused together in a man i love)

just saw someone recycling ye olde "X character doesn't read as Y identity to me, someone who doesn't & has never held that identity & thus am not as intimately familiar with mannerisms, tropes & characterizations that are typically associated with Y identity. There is no evidence for X being Y and you guys are acting insane."

like. do you understand that you are using the EXACT SAME excuse that other people are using to shit on YOUR headcanon that you're so attatched too because it has so much evidence?

did it ever cross your mind that it would probably be harder for you, person who isn't X, to pick up on subtler tropes & identifiers of X that you've never experienced because you aren't X?

like you get how it sounds like you're shitting on other wueer people?

#blocking another god damn fantasy high account that i really liked #because when people say 'theres no evidence for your headcanon' and theyre wrong its bad and tbeyre erasing underrepresented identities #but when YOU say 'theres no evidence for this' you are good and correct and the rest of us are just stupid weirdos #like oh my fucking god bro #if i see one more person who isnt fucking gay say 'erm actually fabian cant be gay he liked girls' im gonna lose it #gay men also experience comphet! #and it's not because he's 'effeminate' #because he really isn't THAT effeminate or flamboyant #he dances and he talks like a rich boy and those are the only two things i can think lf #that make him seem 'effeminate' #but like. dude rides a motorcycle from hell. he fights with a sword and plays football #he punched someone on the first day of school & routinely punches and gets punched by his friends #like. fabian is wildly more stereotypically masculine than he is feminine #most of us think Fabian is gay because up until he took interest in Mazey #he had exclusively expressed interest in girls that were unavailable or unobtainable #his 'type' was literally toxic and/or unavailable women #which SCREAMS comphet to anyone who has fucking experienced it before #'yeah i love women but only the ones i cant have amirite lads' #'classic completely heterosexual man behavior' #anyway #i think its incredibly rude to take people seeing their lived experiences in a character and say 'youre insane bc i dont see it' #especially when YOU YOURSELF have a headcanon that a huge chunk of people cannot understand fully but accept anyway because they get it #because they understand seeing yourself in a character and how important that can be #unlike you #vagueposting #me when i vague for the first time in like 3 years

tell me im a bad man kick me like a stray

(ceres when she was 16 and 32)

#the only reason she doesnt have tattoos is im bad at drawing tattoos #oc: ceres busk #original character #oc art #dnd #lesbian #butch lesbian #yeah also she's gay #house of wolves is Her Song #16 was about when she first got into the underground bareknuckle fighting gig #a year after she got her job as security for the shady bar that hosts the fights (they hired a 15 y/o because it is literally a crime hq) #(they don't care about child labour laws) #she didn't get integrated into the actual organised crime ring until she was like 17/18 #age 32 is after she was arrested and released (due to police corruption) and subsequently joined a shitty private detective agency as muscl #which is the dnd game i played with her #anyway she's greying at 32 because of her stressful life yada yada she got hit by a necrotic blast 3 times in a row whatever #she's greying because i think that is hot

[spacestationstorybook]

not to "discourse" but if you think that making a gay character bi is the same thing as making a straight character gay or bi block me. this is a terminally uncool thing to do. not only are straight people absolutely everywhere in fiction, it's not unreasonable to imagine that someone may not have devoted much thought to their sexuality and end up realizing they're bi or gay later in life. it's quite common and happens irl. but making a gay or lesbian character bi is just. SO disrespectful to irl gay people who've questioned their identities and done the work to figure out who they are And Aren't attracted to. as a lesbian who constantly has to hear arguments like "sexuality is fluid" and "everyone's a little bit bi" in attempts to convince me and other lesbians that we Must secretly want to date men, i have zero patience for shit like this. there are so so many fictional characters out there. it can't be that hard to find one who fits your type and isn't canonically gay.

#before anyone says 'well gay men self ship with women and lesbians self ship with men!' #that is a real life person deciding what they are and aren't comfortable doing in self ship. #i might never date a man irl but fictional men basically let me 'play pretend' with characters i love and find interesting #they act completely different from any real man i've ever met. #'so if your male f/os came to life one day you wouldn't want to date them?' well yeah i wouldn't lol. #also that literally can't happen so i'm not too worried. #selfship #safeship #nyx on comms

Uhhh something about the difference in BBC sherlock and Hannibal in the portrayal of an intelligent crime solving autistic man who’s also an a bit of (or a lot of) a dick

#Hannibal does it good. sherlock doesn’t. I need more time to think on why #but yeah #both Cumberbatch and Hugh Dancy have experience playing other autistic characters. interesting #also they’re both British. for the sake of just listing comparisons now #in tv shows that had 2014 tumblr by the neck #I’d say romantic tension with the other lead charcater but like. they’re not comparable #Hannibal ‘but do you ache for him’ ‘is Hannibal in love with me’ is in no way comparable #to Sherlock ‘imagine if we were gay god look at all the fans who think they’re gay you’re stupid the show runners hate you’
