unintentional subtext is not queerbaiting. intentional subtext is not queerbaiting. queercoding is not queerbaiting. queer themes are not queerbaiting. queer themes in works by cishet creators are still not queerbaiting. writers of any gender identity/sexual orientation seeing fans pick up on queer themes and intentionally playing up those themes as much as they can get away with are not queerbaiting. chemistry between actors is not queerbaiting. chemistry between actors who then decide it’s more interesting that way and lean into it is not queerbaiting. a real cishet person behaving in ways that do not perfectly and completely fit with your idea of what cishet people of their gender are supposed to be is not queerbaiting. I am going to scream

as a kid i wanted soooooo badly to have a bill gijinka for my very own but i could never come up w one that didn't just feel like i was ripping off all my favorite fan designs for him at the time. and all this time later finally this one came out SO Perfect For Me that i think it's a little bit of a mistake actually like i didn't intend on becoming this obsessed with him ever again in my life but HERE WE ARE !!!
Palestine: Funds | Action | eSims | Info
Sudan Resources | Congo Resources

blue - mer!leon kennedy x reader || i am not immune to vievvie's thoughts
The glass is haunting.
Whenever you pass it, it's always empty, and considering the size of that god-awful glass enclosure, you can only assume it's some sort of merfolk or mershark. It wouldn't be something new. Umbrella was ratched when it came to animal experimentation. Data gathering. Intel. The need to be knowledgable in the ocean that no one explores. The best of the best. To crave the knowledge of the unknown. To be wise.
Whenever you pass Luis' tank, no one shows.
You assume it's a shy merfolk, then. Your own mutation of a dolphin isn't much better, consistently playing tricks and refusing to answer to you. The men of the sea, or whatever. You don't really find it in yourself to care.
However, Luis' subject shows once.
Icy blue eyes and a cold blue tail, you pause to stare into his eyes, shudder rippling down your spine as neither of you look away.
He's huge.
He presses up to the glass, staring down at you as you stare back up, and neither of you move. You do not breathe. You doubt he does either, fins not moving, and the two of you stay still.
"Ey, see you met Leon, finally!"
Luis' voice breaks you out of your trance, and you laugh dryly.
"Big guy."
"Loves bluefin."
"Good to know." You stare back down at your clipboard and then at the giant once more. "See you around."
"Catch ya later!"
You miss the way Leon's blues turn dark as you leave.

The 'Hobie can't realistically be a 17 year old boy,he looks and acts nothing like one!!!' argument always pissed me off and i thought it was completely baseless but a couple of people i know in the fandom who're actual teens agreed with it and then i got confused because Hobie acts pretty much like i did as a black punk teen and my brother's got the freakishly tall and lanky stickbug build he does and he ALSO does underaged drinking and dangerous stunts and even has authority problems like i did so i was wondering what in the goddamn hell it all put together meant until it hit me like Hobie's guitar:He's ALSO a freak ass teenage boy like i was.Well alright then,i now know where Scooby Doo is
