"our grandpa made a respectful gay joke? i didn't know he knew how to do that!" -me when my grandpa makes a respectful gay joke
and the joke, for those of you who might be curious: "Someone told me my jacket looked gay, and so i told them "it just came out of the closet!""

I understand that people are upset about the whole ‘Nandor and Guillermo shouldn’t kiss cause they’re boss and employee’ comment by the creators but making it seem like the show is baiting queer people is a bit much? Every single character on the show is openly queer. It doesn’t make it less queer if they don’t get into queer relationships? Queer people are more than their romantic relationships?

this is only vaguely related to my last ask but it got me thinking again how much i don't like the type of scrutiny that some people engage with when it comes to headcanons. don't get me wrong, there is plenty of headcanons that i despite when they appear in a particular context because they clearly come from a place of total ignorance and sometimes even borderline malice; and there are ways of writing about characters that are very obviously rooted in reactionary attitudes. but i have also seen situations in which people of specific ethnicities were told they were not supposed to hc a character to be said ethnicity because of the classist implications. i have seen people saying that headcanoning a particular character to be trans is too stereotypical and that it makes them "sick." i've seen people annoyed about characters being a particular religion because "there's another character who was said to be that religion before" (shocking and upsetting to some americans especially: religions are real and usually have more than one follower so they don't have to be assigned to a single character per title as their token.) and idk i think we should all pause for a moment and remember that the pieces of identity that people assign their favourite characters are often their own. there are ways to reclaim these cliches too. it's a matter of intention. people often read themselves into their beloved pieces of art. and maybe it does not always create the truest image of the author's intention nor a revolutionary picture of minority rep, but no one claims it does.

also, smth about trans amy just fits really well with aro amy? like, trans and aro headcanons just slay every time, everyone knows this. and i can see amy's fascination with the idea of love being tied to how she presents her gender identity.
ik when i was growing up, the whole idea that girls love romance and crushes and boys and whatever was soooooo prevalent, so i could definitely see her internalising that and thinking that she has a quota to fill. everyone else is doing that, so i should join in, right? (amy voice) sonic is a hero that saved me, so clearly he and i were meant to be, yaaaay ^_^ that's how the story is supposed to go!!
except it doesn't, and she realises that she doesn't like playing that role. the idea of amy rose is for her to choose, and no one else
