there’s something incredibly painful about station 19’s cancellation and ncis hawaii’s uncertain future given that they both include queer women in meaningful long-term relationships. it just feels like any time we get wlw in television, it’s canceled

every new make some noise episode gives me a new favorite make some noise clip of all time.

make some noise, season 2, “the wicked switch of the west.”

something that really resonated with me during the Barbie movie is that Barbie didn’t want to hurt kens feelings when ken was the one who installed patriarchy, stole her house, and brainwashed all of her friends. yet she was so afraid of being seen as rude by turning down a man and simply telling him no.

this happens to women all the time, they are afraid of being seen as a bitch or an asshole by just simply trying to protect themselves. she shouldn’t have to feel bad for doing what’s right.

One final thought before I hit the hay

All of the skeletons: ALL OF THEM are trans.

They're technically genderless, but are male presenting and identifying. Their magic alligns with their identities, but can be changed. It's also not always present, so most of the time, they walk around with NO identifiable gendered traits.

Similarly, none of them are straight, but that's just a Monster Thing. Monsters on the whole are generally pan because they come in such a wide variety, but some have preferences (Undyne being mega gay, obv)

So yeah. Ur favs are trans. 🏳️‍⚧️

It’s always “stop starting new hobbies, don’t keep buying more supplies, weren’t you working on a project already don’t start a new one” and never “nice enrichment I love your enrichment”

Constantly impressed and horrified by this fandom's ability to invent new shipping discourse.

Extra points (derogatory) for doing this with a fandom that has almost zero potential for "problematic" shipping. Everyone is an adult! Only two of the characters are blood related! Nobody is unambiguously evil!

What more do you controlling puritan trolls want???

okay okay i think i’m a bit late to the game but carisi realizing he’s in love for the 5-sentence blurbs!

send asks for sonny carisi x reader (5 sentence baby blurbs!)

-

It hits Sonny like a truck - the feeling that has been cumulating in his chest for months since he first met you; a warm, giddy, safe throb in his chest. He loves you.

Sonny doesn’t think as he leans across the small table between you both to press his lips to yours, effectively cutting you off in the middle of your sentence. The bottom of tie skims the top of the pasta he is having, tomato base on silk - a nightmare for his dry cleaner, but Sonny doesn’t care, doesn’t care about anything in the moment but the words that are begging to be let out from his mouth.

“I love you,” he says against your lips, and Sonny feels your smile against his.

Dating Trophy II headcanons (Trophy x fem!reader)

• he leaves you for a man

[dykedistortion]

It’s like. I think the headcanon that Martin (canonically fat) lost weight in season four due to aligning with the lonely, and the use of that to signify his failing health and lack of care for himself, can be really impactful, a reversal of fatphobia, and a nuanced exploration of depression. But I do not trust some of you people with an excuse to draw that man skinny.

SO

I’ve realised that my accounts display is highly RDR2 centric, specifically Charles - yet I haven’t made any posts in any way pertaining to either of them! And they’re my greatest loves!

So without ANY FURTHER ADO I present a few of my nearest and dearest headcanons for the gang (most of them are probably incredibly basic… also so biased to my big three of Arthur/charles/sadie)

CW!!!!!! mentions of violence

Under the cut if you’re interested!

-> Arthur has a small barely noticeable scar on his neck, just below where his beard finishes. He tells everyone he simply got it one day when he accidentally nicked himself whilst shaving - only John and Hosea know the truth. He got it when a member of an enemy gang held a knife to his neck too hard once, threatening him. It didn’t go on long enough to cause any lasting damage. Suffice to say Hosea took care of things before it reached that point.

-> Throughout his whole life, Arthur struggled to differentiate the kinds of love he felt. He loved Mary and Eliza, I truly believe it was romantically, in Mary’s case and he was aware of this, though there’s less to go off of with Eliza - but in terms of his relationship with members of the gang, that’s slightly more difficult. He knows he loves John like a brother, Dutch and Hosea like a father, and Sadie like a sister. His love for Charles is… different to all those, very much so less familial. But he died before ever figuring out what it was.

-> Charles and Sadie visit his grave every year. John also does, but not with them, he prefers to go alone.

-> After Arthur dies, Abigail tries so hard to get John to open up. He never really does. The closest he gets to doing so is when he kills Micah.

-> Sadie never EVER forgets Jake, as much as I would love to be a sadigail truther (and I truly believe there’s certainly a lil fruit in Sadie’s punch if you get me) Sadie never finds the connection she had with him anywhere else.

-> I’ve already touched on Charthur, whilst I certainly think the possibility of feelings developing was right there, I don’t think it could ever have materialised within the time frame of RDR2

-> in some hypothetical and beautiful universe in which Arthur lived, it takes years for Arthur to realise his feelings - even more so to actually act on them.

-> that is, if he chose to act on them. Something tells me Arthur would stay silent, and opt to let Charles make the first move if he wished.

-> When Arthur got sick, Sadie actually silently believed he would get better. Somewhere deep down she knew that was likely impossible - but she wanted to believe it wouldn’t happen again, she wanted to believe someone she cared for wouldn’t be taken from her for another time. It was easier for her to believe than accept reality at times.

-> John also believed silently he would get better, the gang had always pulled through, no matter what - it was hard for him to comprehend Arthur might not be around anymore.

-> out of the three of them, Charles was the only one who I believe truly accepted Arthur’s fate before it happened.

-> I think Dutch did care for John and Arthur, and the whole gang at a point. But Dutch, in my opinion, has an innate desire (more than anything) to feel in control and protect himself and his leadership. A combination of the death of Hosea and the manipulation of Micah (as well as Dutch’s own personal desires and characteristics) are what I believe led to his care for the gang dissolving into care for only himself.

-> not rlly a headcannon, more of an opinion - but Javier gets too much hate. He chose to stand against John and Arthur, but in my opinion, this seems understandable if you look at it from his perspective? His loyalty lay with Dutch because Dutch, in his mind, SAVED him. He gave him family, support, food, and, well - life, for want of another word.

-> I firmly believe that, if Shaun was still alive, he would’ve done the exact same thing as Javi.

-> (coming from the most DIEHARD FAN so please recognise this is no hate) but sometimes I think Arthur gets well.. watered down too much as being presented as a good man who was living in unfortunate circumstances. And whilst I’d say this is largely true, at least on a good honour play through - I’d also say it’s largely true for many of the other members of the gang? Sadie, John, Abigail, Javier, Charles, Lenny… I’d say they’re just some of the examples of characters who would also fit such characterisation and deserve the same sympathy as Arthur

-> John was the BEST at playing cards back in camp, Arthur never knew how. It infuriated him.

-> “Goddamn bastard… fool at damn near everything else… but a goddamn wizard at poker…”

That’s all! Feel free to add any you have yourself in the comments :)

please help me foist tumblr poll results onto my master's advisor as part of my thesis! if you'd be so kind, reblog for a wider sample size and (if you're comfortable with it) add your generation and race in the tags.

Monster Sexuality and Gender Views, and Humans in the Underground

Anyway time for more LGBTQ+ positive content!

So I touched on this a little bit before, but I figured I'd detail my headcanons a little more in light of recent events.

Monsters are born with gender-neutral terms. Until they are old enough to communicate what they would prefer to be called, they are referred to with they/them pronouns. Sometimes they can communicate this fairly shortly after birth, other times, it takes until they're a little older and can properly communicate their feelings on the matter. Pronoun changes throughout childhood are common as monsters discover who they truly are, and most of the time, they have it largely figured out by the time they leave their stripes (become and adult: all kids wear stripes after all!) Sometimes, it takes them a little longer to figure out, but it's incredibly easy for monsters to adjust to new names and pronouns (Mettaton; Alphys immediately uses the right names and pronouns once she makes him his body, or presumably before, when he told her.)

Humans who fall into the underground are no exception to this rule. If they vocalize their pronoun preference, those will be used. Until then, they are referred to in the gender-neutral. This sometimes takes the younger humans by shock, but it's historically gone over pretty well.

Entering very large headcanon territory: Chara and Frisk are both AFAB, but greatly enjoyed gender-neutral pronouns. For Chara, it became an instant preference because they liked it so much. Frisk was a little more chill about it, but never correcting people spoke louder than they could. (Further headcanons have Chara falling into the realm of demigirl, while Frisk is non-binary through and through. Chara tolerates she/her sometimes, and Frisk doesn't really care all that much, but might get a little testy if someone tries to shove them into a gender role. These are just personal takes on them and not supported by canon.)

This applies to all humans in the underground, from children to adults. This also applies to any humans encountering monsters in other spaces, either on the surface or even in the greater UTMV at large.

Regarding sexuality, I've said that most monsters are Pansexual, because monsters as a whole species are incredibly diverse, but can all interbreed. Some monsters develop more specific sexualities and attractions (Undyne) while others might drift towards Asexuality. All of this is commonly accepted, because monsters are made partially of compassion. (Another smaller headcanon here is that this large acceptance may have played a role in the war, because humans are, on the whole, stupid flighty creatures of habit and aggression. What they shunned, monsters accepted.)

I think that about covers it. So, yeah. You can't be transphobic or homophobic in this fandom, the canon literally goes against it, and my headcanons are that you and your bigotry can suck big fat eggs and kick rocks monsters are very 'come as you are' to everyone.

I could never read those booktok-popular "dark romances" for. well. many reasons. BUT the biggest of all is that the instant a man wrongs a woman in a book I want his ass dead. I have zero tolerance for that shit. I don't care if it's a misunderstanding I don't CARE if he's got a secret sadboy past. If he insults her to her face I want her to come after him with a chainsaw no matter what forever

[angels-heap]

Despite my best efforts to avoid the main HL tags lately, I’ve still noticed a recent uptick in posts where people are like “it’s so tragic that Valve gets rid of beloved characters after spending so many games developing their close, special relationships with the protagonist” about Barney Fucking Calhoun and I just have to ask... did we play the same games???

He has less than 8 minutes of voice lines! He’s in like 3.5 scenes! He and Gordon have maybe 3 sentences of lore, and it’s fairly basic and boring lore!

Looking for a character with close, special relationship with the protagonist? Alyx Vance is right there!
