The formula’s never finessed: Insta moots, dodgy pics, trashy press. The Sun shouts “Exclusive!” Which means it’s conclusive: Strictly business and strictly BS.

"eddie isn't queer/gay," you say. "he is straight in canon, so him being gay is just a head canon. it's ok for others to think of him as straight because that's what he is."

let's ignore for a second the fact that eddie has never ever ever ever not even once, said in canon that he is a heterosexual very straight guy. seriously!!! he has never once said it!!! if i am "assuming" he's gay then you are also "assuming" he is straight even though he has never once said it!!

how do you think we got bi buck as canon? like i am serious right now, answer the question. how do you think we go bi buck canon? evan buckley was never conceived to be a bisexual man at the beginning of 911. the reason we have evan buckley as a canonically bisexual character today is because us, queer fans of 911, interpreted him and headcanoned him as bisexual. i would go even further and say that it was us, BUDDIE FANS, who interpreted him and headcanoned him as bi. even before the writers were explicitly writing him as bisexual. we read his actions and his story and his identity and said: "this is a bi character!" and the writers looked back and realized that it made sense! and so they started writing him explicitly and canonically as bi.

was it wrong of us to headcanon a character as bisexual then? like for all intents and purposes we were reading a "straight" character as bi. were we doing something wrong? how come you are not complaining/chastising us/shaming us for how we took evan buckley, an otherwise straight character, and saw him as bi? is it because it now serves a purpose to you that he is bi?

also, taking characters that aren't confirmed queer and reading them as queer is what the queer community, and specifically the queer fandom community, has been doing for DECADES. look up the history of queer coding, i am begging you. it has been through the means of queer coding and the perseverance of people that are engaged in it that actual queer representation in media has increased. and let me tell you right now, eddie diaz is, undoubtedly and undeniably, one of the most queer coded characters there is. whether you think this queer coding is conscious by the writers or not. eddie diaz is queer coded.

and i want everyone who says things like "eddie diaz is not a queer character. he is straight in canon. it's wrong to assume a character is queer without the character saying so" to know that this is exactly what straight and homophobic people say. you are using the SAME rhetoric that has been used to shame queer fans for decades for seeing themselves and their experiences in fictional characters of all types. in fact, us, queer fans (and again BUDDIE FANS), were told so many times by straight fans that we were wrong for reading buck as bisexual. and where are we now? where did reading buck as bi take us? oh yeah, to having bi buck in canon.

so please just stop with the "eddie isn't queer in canon" comments. if you don't want to interpret eddie as queer then that is your prerogative. i will be judging why that is, for sure, but it is your right. but be honest about it. it has nothing to do with whether or not he is straight (which hasn't been said) or queer coded (which he so obviously is seeing as so many of us can very easily read him as queer). it's a personal preference and you're not engaging with canon better because of it.

i have a very unlikely crack theory that FOCUS jumped in hearts suddenly bc they found a heart dupe. and the only reason they didnt get all 3 of them to 20 was so they wouldnt raise an unreasonable, incredibly obvious amt of suspicion or smt.

Evil Morty mannerisms (part 3)

WAIT.

Is this Evil Morty instinctively reaching for his eyepatch before recalling it's not there and camouflaging his action by scratching his head????

Usually when I'm asking for the ball I'm in a Mood.

He said sometimes it's a glance even, is that something you've given him?

...yeah, damn, yeah.

Can you show us?

Nah, I can't do that. That's not a good glance to give him though, that's why...damn that's a good one right there. I didn't... only he knows that though, you know?

Once again reminding the Billford shippers that no, Billford isn't canon and y'all gotta stop acting/talking like it is. Symbolism is one thing, an actual canon romantic relationship is entirely another.

At no point is it even implied Bill and Ford were dating.

Does Bill behave like he's just undergone the messiest divorce of his life? Yes. But it's symbolism. Their entire relationship is symbolism for that kind of relationship, but that doesn't mean that it WAS one.

And it just strikes me as deeply unsettling how they'll look at all of this subtext and metaphors and go "IT'S CANON" with zero canon confirmation and minimal actual canon implication of any sort of non-platonic relationship.

Billford isn't canon and people gotta stop acting like it is. It's fine if y'all wanna have fun with it in fanon, or delve into the intricacies of canon to find stuff to support your ship. I don't have any personal issues with shipping Billford. What I do have issue with is treating it like it's 100% totally canon and then telling others, especially those OUTSIDE OF FANDOM that Billford is totally canon guys you have to believe me.

Roy: I don't always understand Jamie’s texts. He says they're still waiting on the pitch and it's "allz good", allz with a Z.

Roy: Then a box with a question mark. Another box with a question mark. Another box with a question mark. Another box with a question mark. Another box with a question mark. And yet another box with a question mark. Then a box with a question mark. What does that mean?

Keeley: It means you don't have emojiis on your phone

Me: *tries to see what the Queen fans on TikTok have to say*

*Jim hate*

*”facts” that may or not be actually true*

*”Freddie Mercury was bisexual-“*

*Using Barbara Valentin as evidence*

*thinking things that happened in the movie actually happened irl*

*general misinformation about everyone and everything*

Me: aaaaand back to Tumblr I go

Well they caught him. If he wasn't the exact kind of person tumblr loves, the conspiracy theories about this being a random person being framed would have continued to spread. But he's an attractive 26 year old white man who was caught carrying a manifesto about corporate America and has an internet history that matches up with tumblr's general politics. So everyone is going to get excited about how he's a martyr and go back to acknowledging reality in that there isn't a conspiracy to frame the wrong guy.

The discussions over whether or not this man should be lionized as a hero are honestly not as relevant as the comfort with which people are going to drop the conspiracy theory they would have been fully committed to if this man's politics turned out to be nuts. The ease with which the userbase of this website switches between realities based on whether or not they confirm their biases is really alarming. I just hope people understand how weird it is to claim a random person is 100% going to be framed by the FBI on one day, and then drop that by the next day when it becomes clear that the person being "framed" is the exact kind of communist you had hoped.

If I encounter one more page saying that Boudica led her armies into battle fully naked and covered in a layer of woad paint, I'm going to riot.

god am I tempted to do a social experiment and poll on how many people will say husk is canonically pan without question and then poll on the canonicity of alastor's aromanticism and compare the results

[callizinc]

idk if this has been discussed here before but let me say i was Taken Aback Utterly by ena’s forwardness with coral glasses. I thought maybe it was just me then I played with my partner and. yeah.

1) getting all up in that woman’s business by spinning her head around her. then 2) starting off hot with an innuendo where i’m not sure what she’s referring to exactly but sounds like it must be absolutely filthy 3) “please for the love of god touch me and let me get some of your germs on me”

like ena CALM DOWN! the fact she doesn’t act this way with anyone else in the game either

That was Something . I still can't tell what the hell the rolling the window down line is supposed to mean (or however it... went) like WITH LOTS OF ENA LINES IF YOU REALLY STRETCH YOUR IMAGINATION YOU CAN FIND SOME COHERENCY. IMO. But this one : What is she talking about 🔥🔥 She is cooking and the stove is not on🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I do feel like i have to clarify: You're correct, this has not been discussed on my blog before because i don't really. like romance and shipping stuff.. 😭 sorry... DHDFKJDFHSK I just figured i'd say that To make sure you're on the same page, because, Genuinely nothing but my respect to you: But. I just happened to be getting a vibe on where tumblr user "Yurimom"s interests may lie. in comparison to my own. if you get what i mean 😭😭😭

HONESTLY #MyTake I do think it has to do with how coral said she's "new around here" and presumably is new to this whole. ...Location? Place? Area...? Whatever the hell we'd call the Hub, In general, because unlike basically every fucking character we see in the whole game, coral both Doesn't already know who ena is AND She doesn't hate her for no identifiable reason 😭

And like For our poor queen that was probably huge. for her . 😭 ONE Person who doesn't already know of her reputation and is just like . A normal person. (As normal as you can get in ena world BUT STILL)

Ladies, gentlemen, non binaries alike, may I have your attention please:

Her 🥰

Her name’s Fatutu and she’s coming in 2.4 :D

Look at her! She’s so cute! After all these years we’re finally getting a Polynesian character! From what I could gather from the interwebs, Fatutu’s character is based off of the Matōri people (but please correct me if I’m wrong). Can’t wait for 2.4 :)

Edit: Fatutu is actually Polynesian, apologies for the misinformation.

I have to say that if it is Red Bull who are supposedly doing dodgy things with the front bib, the McLaren fan in me is cackling.

Partly because of that but also Red Bull scrapping their special livery in Singapore because of weight concerns, whilst McLaren run back to back special liveries (one of which being chrome which is the heaviest paint)
