*Crying in the lesbian club* 😭😭😭😭😭

I really need folks to lay off the “they need to cast gay actors to play gay people because the love isn’t convincing if straight people are cast” argument. That argument is EXACTLY why so many actors stay in the closet. They (rightfully) fear that people won’t believe them as a straight love interest, and because over 90% of movies feature straight protagonists, it would greatly reduce the range of projects they could be in and the likelihood of being able to consistently financially sustain themselves if they gave the public reason to believe they can’t do their job correctly because of their sexuality.

There have been gay and lesbian actors steaming up the screen since the very beginning of cinema and still are, and if you want them to come out and not have to get outed by their grandchildren selling their old love letters after they die, then you need to stop contributing to the idea people with enough talent can’t portray passion for whoever they’re supposed to be showing it for. People are going to keep up the mendacity and give you all the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof realness you swear is so 20th century until you accept that actors act and, while they might bring some of their experiences into the role, the whole point isn’t that they get on a screen and play themselves.

Honestly, most gay actors don’t want to play gay characters, that’s why they’re in the closet to begin with. They don’t want to be limited and pigeonholed in that way and they resent and want to disprove the assumption that they’re incapable of giving the energy needed for a project to make the audience feel what they need to feel and get into it.

Emily Engstler x Actress! Reader

♡♡♡♡♡

- Written in headcannon form

- Possessive Emily??

- Should I make a part 2?

♡♡♡♡♡

● Being an actress has its ups and downs especially while being with Emily. You're acting in all of these movies and whatnot when Emily is dealing with basketball, so you guys are going to be busy a bit. It was something that you guys had to get used to but it worked out after a few conversations(cause with Emily yk it'd have to take a bit).

● Speaking of being busy, whenever either of you has to travel you guys ALWAYS make sure to call before bedtime. It doesn't even matter if you were too busy to talk throughout the day but the both of you always make sure to call each other at night. Sometimes you guys won't talk a lot and other times you'll talk for hours. But it just depends on how the day was. The good thing though is that Emily is always there to listen. In fact, she even encourages it most times.

"No, you're all good, baby. Keep on talking. I wanna hear how your day was"

AND HER TIRED VOICE OMG!!

● She will never EVER get tired of bragging about you. Whenever anyone asks who she's with she automatically pulls out her phone to show them sooooo many photos and all the shows/movies you were in. And most times they'll stand there like 🧍‍♀️ while she's going on a big rant about you.

"Oh yeah, this is my girlfriend. She's been in this show, which is totally awesome, you'll have to watch it sometime. But she's also been in some other stuff too. Isn't she amazing?"

● But since you're an actress that means that you're popular with A LOT of people and we all know what that means. Luckily, you have Emily at your side who will not hesitate to throw hands for you. So if you're out in public and you both start noticing someone following you or if someone's just trying to be weird in general, she'll walk right up to them and confront them about what they're doing. And she's like 6ft so of course it's gonna be intimidating for the other person. After a few interactions with Emily your fans finally started to calm down. There have been times where you've had to stop her from fighting someone for your sake.

"Em, you can't do that! Everyone's looking!"

"So what?! They can't take a hint for shit!"

"Oh my god..."

● When you're out together she loves to always be touching you in some way. Like holding your hand, resting her hand on your back, or your arms touching while walking together. It's not even just because she's reminding your fans that you're together but also because it lets her know you're by her and safe.

● There have been times when people got weird with you and it made her worry about you WAYYYYY more. She definitely turned into a little helicopter parent for a bit. At first it was sweet but it was something that you guys had to talk about and manage.

● When you have premiers for your movies, she makes sure to come to every. single. one. And she makes sure that she's matching the theme too. She gets a little nervous sometimes but you're always there to help sooth her.

"Are you sure this looks okay? You look all pretty and perfect, and I'm just..."

"You look just fine, Em. Fantastic even. You have nothing to worry about"

"You think so?"

"I know so. Now let's go"

● All of the paparazzi was something that she had to get used to. She's dealt with people coming up to her for photos and stuff but with you, it was completely different. She makes sure to bring sunglasses with her at all times or things that she knows will hide you guys easily. She's even researched different ways to deal with paparazzi in hopes of helping both of you. If yk that one anti-paparazzi scarf? She got one for you.

● She's really understanding about how your guy's schedules work and so are you. So being busy and sometimes missing some things isn't too big of a deal unless it is really big or important. It is a rule to communicate about it after though.

● COMMUNICATION IS MF KEY IN THIS RELATIONSHIP!!! I can not stress that enough. She knows that you have all these fans and people looking at you so there are times when you have to reassure her. And being busy so much is another thing that had to be managed. There was a lot of talking when you guys first got together. But all of that just makes your relationship stronger.

There’s this phenomenon that isn’t quite queerbaiting, and therefore shouldn’t be called that in my opinion, but there isn’t a specific word for it as far as I know. Basically the phenomenon where a couple isn’t explicitly shown to be a couple on screen (usually due to corporate homophobia), but is definitely intended by the creators to be a couple.

Edit: The two phrases that have been brought up in the comments are queer-coding and Herero-baiting. I’m partial to the latter.

I’m going to make you insanely horny for a (male) Batman villain

(Specifically male because they’re all weird critters while the female Batman villains are all oversexualized to hell)

[gigireece16]

hi guys, this is my girlfriend. sometimes she bites and smells like wet dog 😔

[un-holy-girls]

Not ready to say goodbye

[keira-kaz2y5]

Hold on I know we’ve joked that this is Eddie all like: “I’m rolling with the LGB 💪 💅”

but like look at the positioning of them. I know they all have their cute little gay pose but actually look. I know they’re actors but they’re representing their 9-1-1 characters.

So see it like Buck in the middle, with his arms out to present the two lesbians, but then behind him is the two gays (hopefully), Josh and Eddie. and then Buck is in the middle. It’s literally a scale, like the ones that like only men, the guy that likes men and women then the two that like only women. You know them venn diagrams or some shit

I can't believe that in the year 2024, I spent 20 minutes of my therapy session trying to explain the Destiel confession followed by immediately getting sent to super gay Hell so I could tell my therapist that I received the news that Trump had been shot through that meme.
