Sometimes you just gotta put on a beard and a wig and feel like a hot anime boi.

Hey! I was planning on watching good omens, but some people were calling queerbait on it. I honestly don’t care if it is or not, but what’s your opinion on the show?

Is it queerbaiting to have multiple characters who are explicitly non-binary? Is it queerbaiting to have a character occupy the bodies of both a man and a woman, and have their friend remark only positively to the change of outfit? Is it queerbaiting to have another actor play his character as both a woman and a man over time, and have no other characters bat an eye, and have the show take this example of A Man In A Dress completely seriously, without any trace of mockery? Is it queerbaiting for that actor's wardrobe to be outfitted with elements of woman's clothing even while the character is presenting "male"?

Is it queerbaiting to have a pair of characters who are dealing with the fallout and continuing threats of a complete rejection from their families for not complying with a set of rules they cannot personally abide by for reasons of both personality and choice? Is it queerbaiting to explore someone coping with that rejection, or someone realizing they can handle that rejection when they have something else worth fighting for?

Is it queerbaiting to have a pair of torn, complex characters who are On Watch for the simple act of associating with each other? Is it queerbaiting for these two to be at once hesitant and desperate to call each other their friend? Is it queerbaiting for their happy ending to be the two of them out to an extremely fancy dinner, in public, while a love song plays?

Do the characters played by David Tennant and Michael Sheen(&Miranda Richardson) kiss?

The answer to all of these questions is No, but it's that last one that people trip over when they fail to deploy any critical thinking. Or, frankly, observation skills. Queerness of gender aside, it's also ignoring, y'know, nonsexual forms of intimacy. As a gay asexual, I have to say I would love a happy ending out to an extremely fancy dinner, in public, while a love song plays, and my long term companion fondly watches me tuck in.

But apparently two characters who are immensely queer in gender, gender presentation, and their relation to Christianity/conservative families, finally being able to comfortably meet each other in the middle with undisguised affection and without fear, cannot be anything but "queerbaiting" because they don't kiss. Fuck that. Even if you view it only as friendship (which I personally don't), queer friendship is still revolutionary, especially up front and center.

Story time: I’m a trans guy. I have an identical twin. We’re both tall, androgynous, and have naturally deep voices

In high school a rumor was spread that one of us was trans. For years, everyone in school had convinced themselves that my twin was “the trans one”. She rolled with it to keep me safe, and said it felt like a compliment to be mistaken for a trans woman since she looked up to a lot of trans women. That didn’t stop the bullying, but it’s easier to deal with when it’s directed at the wrong person. I’m engaged to a feminine cis guy who is several inches shorter than me. I have 20-30lbs on him and I can dead lift him. He’s more delicate and soft both physically and socially. He cries during sad movies, owns half a million stuffed animals, and clings to my arm when he’s nervous or it’s cold out (oh yeah, also he’s adorable) Whenever the topic of being trans comes up, cis people tend to think he’s the one who is trans. Direct all “what do your parents think?” comments onto him. Completely ignore me. Ask him invasive/transphobic questions about his body. Tell him “you pass so well!” through grit teeth. Like with my sister, I get pretty pissed about this, but there’s not much I can do about it. I have had to argue with cis people to establish the fact I’m trans because they don’t believe me & think I’m joking. they’re like “but he’s - no, she’s trans!” and frantically point fingers at my fiance and sister. Because there’s no way an adult cis woman could be taller than 5′9 and choose to be bare-faced, and an adult cis man could love How To Train Your Dragon 2 with a fiery passion, enough to watch it 3 times in the theatre.  Terfs take one look at us and try to convince my sister she’ll never have a uterus or that she’s “appropriating women’s spaces”. Transphobes say my boyfriend will “always be a girl” and call him gendered slurs. They talk over them, block them, and grill them about what genitalia they have online. Completely unknowing that they’re talking to two cisgender people who are gay and gnc. @ young, closeted, scared trans people: any cis person who insists they can somehow “know” your “birth sex” by looking at you because “it’s so obvious!” is full of shit. people come in all shapes and sizes regardless of gender. Not only are they being transphobic, but they’re being homophobic too.

I just spent the past 3 hrs talking about queerness in the Matrix and Alien series with my partner. I'm so lucky.

DAI/ FE3H Crossover fic

Three ships: Lan Wanji x Wei Wuxian (Modao Zushi), Yuri Leclarc x Male Byleth (Fire Emblem Three Houses), Solas x Male Lavellan (Dragon Age Inquisition) - yeah my Solas is bi fight me.

Last song I listened to: Dorian Electra - Adam and Steve (EPILEPSY WARNING)

Currently Watching: Uhhh... nothing atm, but here are some on my to watch/ finish list: Lupin (the new Netflix one), Winter Begonia (Chinese drama based on BL novel), Revolutionary Girl Utena (I know, it’s shameful that I still haven’t finished it T-T)

Currently Reading: I have a giant list of books I need to read, but I haven’t decided yet, and honestly my ADHD has been making it extra hard to focus with everything that’s going on. In the meantime I’ve been reading fanfiction. The fanfic I’ve been reading the most is Godspeed by Quags1re, a Fire Emblem Three Houses fic. Their writing is phenomenal, if you’re a FE3H fan I suggest giving it a look.

How’s it going? I’m in a privileged situation compared to lots of people right now, so I can’t complain. Anxiety and depression have been issues, but I’m handling it better than I thought I would.

Tagging: Consider yourself tagged if you see this <3
