to those who don't get it why i find that amusing: while i appreciate fandom culture around headcanoning a certain sexuality for a character and deriving joy from it, it amuses me that
1) people seem to think a fictional character's sexuality needs to be policed in fanfiction, the medium where fans make up fictional content on fictional characters bc they derive joy from it
2) that people talk of newt being gay as though it was canon, when it in fact was one (1) tweet trashner made for clout, and the newtmas fanbase is the one he's continually trying to milk for money and attention bc that's the only thing he's got left to do for publicity since his publisher dropped him for sexual harassment allegations.
before i hit post, i want to highlight that luckily, this isn't a mentality i've seen around in the maze runner fandom for a long time, or that i feel is rampant. i just have Thoughts TM about this, and getting a comment like that prompted me to spell them out again.
loads of love to the tmr fandom for being one of the loveliest places on the internet. <3
And sunsets over a really shitty street and converse with rocks in them and weed and a messy bedroom and fruity energy drinks and orangey street lights and a food you used to love and stray cats and an empty field next to something industrial and making out near the fence when it's cold out and driving over the highway in the early mornings and cold blue lights and 2 am cereal and showering in peace and melting in the summer like a popsicle with the window open as the sun pours onto the floor and your favorite jacket and eyeliner and overthinking and not thinking at all
I'm not super into modern AUs, but every now and then I get a hankering for some hardened-tattoo-artist-with-ennui-meets-baby-gay-bookseller-who-still-has-dreams. You know, as you do. Also I've pretty much read everything else while getting over the plague, and I gotta say to people who will understand:
I love that super niche interest AUs exist. Just the IDEA of them. I love that someone took their specific career, passion, hobby, graduate research, diagnosis, and that one long strange trip down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, and came to the conclusion that what this meet-cute needs, in explicit detail, is a(n):
X-ray technician
Urban mushroom hunter
Speech pathologist
Venomous snake milker
Crime scene cleaner
Prosthetic painter
Infectious disease specialist
Haunted house zombie
etc...
Even if I don't understand it, ESPECIALLY if I don't understand it. You clearly did when you wrote it.
look i think i could spin you a trans headcanon about any rider but the two who are undeniably trans men to me are hongo and shigeru. and i mean this in completely different ways
see "wrightworth as a successful relationship" isn't a factor of how i view ace attorney so when i come across stuff that depicts trucy as edgeworth's daughter figure my knee jerk reaction is to go "my god. he fucking took her." and i'm content with that because i think it's way funnier than the alternative
sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me
This Pride I hope that all of you never ever forget that no amount of sanitizing your sex life or sanding down of your LGBT edges will make bigots accept you. So, don’t debase yourself by capitulating an inch to them, especially in ways that throw your fellow community members under the bus.
i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.
