you know. I think the reasons it feels so literally narratively wrong when people refer to charles as being straight (such as in interviews where his love life comes up and so on) are that A) he’s never deemed outright straight in the show, so it’s just an assumption that he must be straight by default (which is silly in a show like this), and B) what he says following edwin’s confession. I know I’m biased, but even when I try to look at it as neutrally as possible, the way he reacts in general and the specific words he uses just don’t sound right when you imagine them being said by a Totally Definitely Straight guy.

first of all if you actually listen to it instead of absorbing the scene superficially it’s not particularly a rejection at all, and the actors have stated that themselves– it’s not him saying no, it’s him saying “I can’t give you an answer right now, but I will eventually”. that’s not an interpretation, that’s literally just the truth of what he said (and again, the actors agree). can you imagine a straight guy saying that, or possibly even more damning, “we have literally forever to figure out the rest [“the rest” meaning anything that goes beyond the kind of love charles already solidly has for him]”.

imagine you’re a straight man who’s unwaveringly confident in his orientation and your gay best friend confesses his feelings for you. you would not respond with the implication there is a “the rest” to figure out. since the main, obvious obstacle would be your solid lack of attraction to men, that’d probably be essential to your response– it wouldn’t be a “I can’t say–“ it’d be a “I can’t be–“. and on top of all that, I feel like the whole thing would have to sound far more apologetic– “I’m sorry, I love you and that’ll never change, but I just can’t love you the way that you love me.” something like that, right?

tldr: this is a rare instance in television where assuming a character is straight by default makes Less sense than the alternative. and charles’ choice of words in the confession overtly suggest that he is, at the very least, unsure of his orientation.

nora going from writing an ace-spec main to a (probably allosexual) bi main, and the difference is so chef's kiss. they're both disasters don't get me wrong, but jean having attraction in his inner monologue even with the trauma he's been through implies to me that neil's demisexuality has absolutely nothing to do with his trauma. hilarious in retrospect because, if i remember correctly, neil in his inner monologue basically blames his lack of sexual attraction on his mother's abuse the few times he kissed girls when he was on the run, but he doesn't have a single sexual thought until andrew lets him in on his feelings in book three,,, meanwhile jean's out here actively fighting his bisexuality like his life depends on it (he thinks it does) (he'll learn it doesn't eventually)

why do people gatekeep queer identies?? like,, isn't the whole point of the queer community that we're sick of being told who we are and aren't allowed to be?? stop shunning queer people for being queer in ways you don't like

Meine Firma hatte neuerdings eine zweite Auszubildende. Mit vorheriger Ausbildung in einer verwandten Brache, daher wurde ihr beim Einstellungsgespräch angeboten doch das 1. Lehrjahr zu überspringen. Ist nicht so ungewöhnlich, hab ich damals auch gemacht, weiter kein Thema. Sie sagte ja, Vertrag wurde unterschrieben, Antrag auf Einstieg im 2. Lehrjahr gestellt und genehmigt.

Mein Chef hat jetzt, 6 Monate später, allerdings bemerkt dass es doch irgendwie nervig sei dass beide Azubinen jetzt im 2. Lehrjahr sind. Beide am gleichen Tag in der Berufsschule, beide machen gleichzeitig Prüfung, schien alles ein großes Problem für ihn zu sein. Womit er dann nicht erstmal zu dem Typen rannte der für Personal-Angelegenheiten zuständig ist, sondern die Azubine am Freitagmorgen anblöffte. Keine Ahnung, lösungsorientiertes Mobving nennt sich das. Was weiß ich. Handwerk halt. Erstmal losbrüllen, vielleicht löst sich das Problem vor Schreck von allein. Was ein vibe

Er wollte jetzt, dass sie (nach Beginn des Schuljahres, mind you) zurück in's 1. geht. Die Azubine beworb sich vor Schreck dann über's Wochenende bei zwei anderen Firmen, weil fuck that. Verständlich. Leider erwischte sie dabei die Firma des besties unseres Chefs, der sofort am Telefon hing um die Azubine bei unserem Chef anzuschwärzen. Die Stimmung am Montag war bestens, der Azubine wurde Vertrauensbruch vorgeworfen (wobei... Lunte zu riechen weil man nach einem halben Jahr spontan den Ausbildungsvertrag ändern will ist in my book kein Vetrauensbruch), gegen Mittag stand dann ihre Mutter auf der Matte. Thank god, endlich ein Erwachsener.

Mein Chef ließ sich nicht dazu herab dem Gespräch mit Azubine plus Mutter beizuwohnen. Ihre einzige Forderung war dabei, dass sie nach wie vor in's zweite Lehrjahr wollte- wie's in ihrem Ausbildungsvertrag steht. Seit 6 Monaten. Nö, is nich.

Und dann hatten wir halt eine Azubine weniger. Noch können wetten abgegeben werden wann hier wieder jemand einen monolog darüber hält dass die jungen Leute alle nicht richtig arbeiten wollen, und wir deswegen kaum Lehrlinge bekommen

Like, not every queer person feels like they arrive into existence with an attraction to, like, a specific kind of person, and that's okay too.

This is gonna ruffle a lot of feathers, I’m sure, but...

If you're going to love a fictional villain, LOVE THEM AS A VILLAIN! Stop trying to make them into some Good Person™ that they’re not. What is it that you even like about them? You think they're hot?

Quit being a pussy! THEY'RE FICTIONAL. It's not some moral dilemma if you love a villain AS A VILLAIN.
