yknow i enjoy tedependent as much as the next guy, and i get the temptation, i truly do, but i think implying or outright saying trent imploded his career and told the truth about giving up his source only or mainly because he had romantic feelings for ted takes away from what actually happened there?? like. him being willing to throw away his career and in such a spectacular way (not just quitting but actually probably fucking his chances of working further as a journalist at all, i gather) wasn't necessarily a rom-com moment in the sense that it was for ted or about his feelings for ted alone. it was about himself, his own growing dissatisfaction with the toxic world of sports journalism and the kind of writing he was doing, the desire for "something deeper". that's not to say there's no tedependent take on this, or that hypothetical feelings for ted couldn't or didn't play a role. but like, it's also about his own character development, even if it is driven by ted (as many of the characters' developments are)

I love how when we are first introduced to Vetinari, he's this all-powerful tyrant with spies everywhere, twenty steps ahead of everyone else, of whom people aren't even sure is human and then he proceeds to spend pretty much 90% of his time in the Watch books and The Truth being a damsel in distress (often with Vimes co-starring as the knight in shining armour) and is still seen as this all-powerful tyrant. Vimes hears someone call Vetinari unkillable and has to stop himself from snorting.

I still can't draw, but I still can trace so I've been just tracing Silco and coloring him in like he's an adult coloring book lmao but I'm also still not the best at color theory for drawing/digital painting so I limited it to greyscale so I wouldn't get overwhelmed.
Hand lettering is usually more my thing so I threw that in. Maybe one day I'll design a cool canon Silco quote. Someone remind me to do that.

and another thing! slightly related to some other things i've said! i don't feel like 911 deserves/deserved to be louded as some lgbtq abundant piece of media, especially since the majority of queer characters listed to prove that 911 was 'really queer' were side characters and even just background characters. like yes, we love michael, we love karen, we love josh, we even love the old dead gay guys, but i feel like shows shouldn't be clapped on the back for having some queer side characters. i feel like that should be BARE minimum. like if a show in 2024 doesn't even have a single queer side character, that's INSANE to me and i would 100% believe that the creators set out to purposefully write an alternate universe where queer people don't exist.
so if we're just talking about main characters then, 911 had ONE queer main character out of like, seven main characters. which isn't super impressive, especially nowadays. lucky for us that one queer character was hen wilson <3 who is black and a lesbian! which is already such a glow up from the usual 'fine here's a white gay man, happy?' queer rep we are so often handed. so like, it was definitely quality over quantity! but i still wouldn't call a show 'queer' if it only had 1/7 queer characters.
and i think that's why buck being bi is such a big milestone, cause it's rare for shows to even have more than one queer main character, and it's like doubley rare for characters who have been presumed straight for so long to get to come out as queer (cause that's another thing that hurts and confuses straight audiences alongside having too many queer characters: characters that they assume are straight simply because they were not announced to be queer right off the bat, coming out as queer at a much later time, in this case, 7 whole seasons into the show!) this upsets straight people because it means that any character could be queer, even if they haven't shown obvious signs of that being the case before.
so basically what i'm saying is that we need to stop applauding shows for having like 1 or 2 gay characters, cause they can definitely have more. i mean, still applaud them cause i love gay people lmao but like. don't be afraid to demand more queer rep!! don't be overly grateful for crumbs!
like this originally came up because i was thinking about whether or not i believed that eddie would ever get to be queer, and my answer was all tangled up in the existence of hen and buck. and it shouldn't be! i should be able to wonder if he'll get to be gay without thinking 'oh but there's already 2 queer main characters, and that's already considered too much by most big tv show execs!'

hey sara when you read rwrb did you also assume alex knew he was bi up until his sexuality crisis revealed the truth to you or was it just me who labored under delusions for the first 25 percent of the book, a whole quarter of the way through, before getting the shocking surprise that alex claremont-diaz, main character of nyt bestselling debut novel red white and royal blue, by author casey mcquiston, was NOT an out and proud bisexual man?
no actually, because im not delulu like u are . anyway .
