Levels of being canonically gay:

Character is undeniably gay in the text (Captain Jack Harkness, Oberyn Martell, Klaus Hargreeves, Colin Hughes, Clare Devlin, Max from Black Sails)

Character is explicitly gay but some people will miss it (Will Byers, Keeley Jones until season 3)

Character does gay things and feels no need to process their sexuality about it (anyone Russell T. Davies has ever written, Tony Stonem, Cassie Ainsworth, book Daenerys, Rhaenyra?)

The character doesn’t know if they’re gay, I don’t know if they’re gay, but we’re both wondering about it (Karma Ashcroft from Faking It. This category was created solely for her)

Character is gay by Word of God (Albus Dumbledore, maybe Matt Boyd from AFTG)

Character is gay only in off-handed jokes (Eleanor from The Good Place, Clara Oswald, Stiles Stilinski, Lily Aldrin)

Character reads as queer to queer audiences, whether or not author intended it that way or accidentally borrowed queer-coded tropes (Black Sails’s Jack Rackham, Michel for the original run of Gilmore Girls, Jamie Tartt, Jaime Lannister, Dean Winchester, Susie Myerson (LISTEN, I’M ON SEASON 2 SO JUST ROLL WITH IT)

Why Does He Describe Men That Way (Jon Snow talking about how pretty Satin is while literally in the middle of battle)

Character is gay only through intentional queer-baiting (i don’t have the balls to fill this one in, but you’re definitely thinking of one)

*Note: these levels aren’t perfect. Some characters fit into multiple categories, depending on your interpretation or what point in the story arc something happened. Stiles Stilinski could belong in at least 3 of these categories.

There’s also the people who are imperfectly queer. Willow Rosenberg calls herself a lesbian, but had meaningful romantic relationships with men and possibly would have been bisexual in a show written more recently.

know by heart

Iann wasn’t having a good time of it.

Pride week was over, which was both a blessing and a wistful goodbye.  He liked the festivities, they were distracting.  He liked having to fill up a globe with good vibes with Savin, he liked taking Ruby out to a pit in the middle of nowhere and helping her sort out her first-shift.  He liked looking after Addie while Cassie got to have fun, he liked bustling around with Freddie in the Inn in a flurry of activity, getting drunk with Bellamy while she teased him endlessly, teasing Miguel affectionately and trying to unpack his own gender ignorance.  He liked playing chicken with River, and eating Maya’s muffins, and sorting out hte Elena issue, and sharing weird totally-not-mommy-time with Babs, and letting Ryden and Charlie respectively poke fun of him.  He even liked tie-dying with Lopez, even though the jam-hands of happy children definitely gave him a sore-throat.  

But sewn persistently in-between all that bonhomie and colourful flagging, was the demon.  Malvoth.

Things didn’t end well with Ciara the last time they texted, which at this point was no surprise for Iann.  The fall-out of Malvoth forced some of Ciara’s closely-held secrets out of her iron grip, for Iann to see in plain view.  But it also opened up so many more mysteries and questions.

She still persisted in doing things her way; and perhaps surprisingly, Iann wasn’t bothered by that.

But that didn’t excuse Malvoth of course.

Even temporarily, Freddie was injured from Malvoth’s shenanigans - but at this point in the story, who was the bigger danger to other people?  Malvoth?  Jennifer Ashcroft?  Ciara herself?

In the end, did it really matter?  Iann shifted ‘blame’ (for what it was worth, he didn’t care for assigning blame, but other people relied on it) around to different corners like a pool ball, but none of it was satisfying enough.   Because he still kept returning to one singular item that made every typically motivated explanation unsatisfactory.

The slightly shiny, half-heart necklace.

Iann turned it over and over in his fingers right now, alone on the tiny porch of his tiny attic home.  It hadn’t changed at all since their last texting, weirdly enough.  He’d expected it to dull, or rust over again, but nothing.  

If anything, it seemed to get shinier.  

Almost hypnotic, which was funny because Iann was confident he was un-hypnotize-able.  But this...fucking necklace.
