Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

A few months ago, I was thinking about cats with mouthsacks to hold their nuts, like hamsters (camsters). Now, I am thinking about hamsters with cat ears (hats). I never realized how much I could change in just a couple months, until it looked me in the eyes…

Okay but is bohemian bongo poet Jungkook getting your attention?

With a soul patch.

…

…

I could probably convince him to shave the patch.

“This show isn’t the same as the book” this

Finding this image so interesting because Sebastian lets himself be photographed.

Quick shitty doodle to summarise the state of fandoms rn

follow up poll to my one about the doctor. which modern Doctor Who COMPANION would win in a fight against all the others. no holds barred. they can fight dirty. psychological warfare is not just allowed but encouraged (though not mandatory). just full on duking it out. this is not about who your favorite is this is about who would be the most devastating in combat

we're not including Jack Harkness because he Literally cant die. also not including Wilf because I love him too much to put him in these situations.

Tragic mecha characters can get it

baihu can you tell me about your favorite batlnatern headcanons

Hmm well I don't know if I have any specific favorites, but I can list a few I've thought about that may have snuck into my drawings

Due to a series of events, Hal has a not-so-secret secret comfort mug on the Watchtower that he makes a point of using whenever he happens to be there. Yeah it's the Batman novelty mug

Hal attempts to princess-carry Batman as Green Lantern whenever the opportunity arises, for shits and giggles. Needless to say, Bruce hates it

Even after they're together as a couple they still argue and needle each other as much as they did before, only now with bonus weaponized flirting. The rest of the JL are used to it by now and are fairly certain bullying each other is their love language

When they're in private, they're surprisingly soft and tender, sneaking touches and taking care of each other in quiet, meaningful ways

Does Hal despise "well-intentioned" offers of charitable assistance and literally anything that might possibly be construed as a handout? Yes. Does Hal expect high roller Bruce Wayne to bust out all the bells and whistles and roll out the red carpet when taking him out for a night on the town? Also yes. Trying to figure out this fine line gives Bruce headaches on the regular

you know, if you had asked me after the first two episodes of Masters of the Air which actor and/or character was going to have a scene where they are posing naked in front of a mirror, Anthony Boyle as Harry Crosby would not have been my first guess
