Really wish y'all would realize masc4masc isn't some revolutionary concept. U are not more queer for liking ur gay ships both masc and no one is a fetishizer if they like fem/masc couples or if they like the bottom smaller/slighter or some shit. No it's not superimposing heterosexuality onto queer ships bc y'all are literally implying that fem gay men aren't men that fem/masc gay couples are somehow more accepted or more heteronormative than masc4masc. Bc wtf do y'all mean "the girl in the relationship" they're both fucking men??? Y'all have these discussions that lack any nuance and always assuming the ppl who like these ships are straight women who are so "uncomfortable with masculine men" nigga what????? Just a bunch of close minded annoying weirdos who get all their opinion from Twitter and probably uses the word fujoshi like a slur. Like omg shut up let ppl like what they like. Also I think ppl should examine all of the things they like but examining ur interests doesn't mean that the like for those things disappears u can still like the things I like while having fully understood why u like them good or bad. Y'all so one dimensional I swear. I wish all fem twink/masc lovers a good ship whatever u want 🤗

Last post unleashed the angry aroace in me regarding fandom reactions to aroace characters again so now I have to rant about it (as one does).
The canonical aroaceness of characters have always been heavily debated in queer and non-queer communities and it is ALWAYS aroace characters specifically.
For example: When Ryusui Nanami from Dr Stone stated he’s attracted to all people, everyone accepted and respected that he’s canonically Bi.
But when it comes to Senku repeatedly, physically AND verbally expressing his disgust with romance and sex, stating numerous times that he holds no interest in it, ending off the series with NO LOVE INTEREST, it’s suddenly a debate if he’s really aroace or not.
The second a character is aroace, all of a sudden they have to scream “I AM AROACE AND I DO NOT PARTNER AND I AM SEX REPULSED” for people to even fathom that they could be aroace, solely because gay pairings are more palatable.
And even then, tons of people won’t even respect it and will instead do anything they can to excuse dismissing said character’s aroaceness in favor of romance and sex AGAIN because “aroace people can be in romantic and sexual relationships too!”
Sure they can! That isn’t relavent here though, so stop using it as an excuse. When a character in media is explicitly aroace, why would you still go out of your way to force romance/sex into the characters identity? That entirely defeats the purpose of said representation.
If we had enough blatant aroace representation to be able to explore the complexities and varieties of aroace individuals that would be absolutely lovely! All kinds of aroaces deserve to see themselves shown in media we enjoy. But that isn’t the case here given that aroace rep in general is about as frequent as a droplet of rain is a desert during a drought.
Platonic relationships, familial relationships, queer platonic relationships, there are SO many different kinds of love out there that people refuse to explore despite the fact that they’re equally as emotionally impactful and important as romantic or sexual relationships!
What about platonic soulmates? Two friends who are bound to each other no matter the world they’re in?
We’re all familiar with found family, why not explore it more? Blood families even? Close-knit circles of longtime friends?
So many beloved troupes can be depicted and enjoyed in platonic means without erasing a characters aroace identity in favor of another queer one. We all deserve to feel seen in media we enjoy and we all have the freedom to choose how we consume said media, but please keep in mind that behavior like this is harmful.
No queer identity is lesser than another. Allow our community the joy of inclusion and please refrain from constantly coming up with excuses to erase an aroace character’s identity because you wish they were something else. This doesn’t happen nearly as often with other queer characters as it does with aroace ones.

content warning: me being a HUGE bitch
i looooove playing standard because i just saw an mtg post that was like "my husband did this pro strat where he judged that his opponent was bluffing based on what mana they had up??? 🤯" and its like... yeah? thats how card games work?
i fucking love being in a format where its feasible to know every legal card. genuinely dont understand the appeal of formats that arent conducive towards/rewarding reading your opponent(s). thats, like, the thing for me or else id just play solitaire
just being a hater. like what you like. but why

Just over here thinking about the fact that my love, @freewayshark, is writing an EPIC fic that is just so SO good. You all are not prepared. It is perfect. Flawless. I am obsessed with it. And also with her.
