#of gay representation or whatever

[dennistakesamentalhealthday]

man like i loved macdennis and i still do but the obnoxiousness of some shippers has put a sour taste in my mouth like i get people want to see the ship they like be Real And Canon On TV but it's getting weird and reeks of entitlement and not being able to see past your gay ship being gay. and tbh the idea of macdennis going canon doesn't excite me as much anymore because i just know if it did happen people are not going to know how to fucking act and make it weird!!! glob is fucking weird btw don't do that. i know ship and the potential of canon can be exciting but i need people to step out of their macdennis echo chamber and think about the way they talk about these real life men. like part of me doesn't want on screen, undeniable macdennis at this point because of the way people treat rob and glenn as dolls and extensions of their characters i KNOW people are going to be fucking weird if they get content like that

Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?

*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest

My hot take Is if i see one more ROMANTIC fabriz post i am going to start cracking my skull like an egg and hatching chicks from it

I AM A QUEERPLATONIC BUDDIE TRUTHER AND HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD BE TOO

first of all have you seen evan buckley? that man is the most aromantic bisexual human I have ever seen I will not be elaborating that is simply a fact. jkjk I could write a dissertation on this clearly the bisexuality is very much canon and we know he is sexually attracted to all genders but whenever he's in a romantic relationship he doesn't seem to like it. as an aromantic who has been in several relationships that i absolutely hated but didn't know how to express that or felt like i had to force myself to like it, maybe i'm just projecting, but i see that in buck. he dates so many people throughout the show but he never seems to want to be in those relationships. he moves them forward because of external pressures not his own feelings. even with tommy when he decided to ask him to move in for example he was doing that because that's what he thought he was supposed to do not because he was in love with tommy. i could say more but i digress.

let's talk about the most aromantic asexual firefighter the world has ever seen: edmundo diaz. this man doesn't like dating or sex or any of it. bro got married because he was supposed to and like i know there are people who say it's because he's gay and i'm pretty sure that's what the writers are going for. they're implying that he doesn't like women because he's gay and you can find a bajillion tumblr posts with all the evidence of the fact that he doesn't like women so i'm not going to present it all here. however, unlike buck, we never see him be attracted to men. we see so clearly that he doesn't like women but we never see him crushing on guys (unlike buck clearly thinking guys are hot even before he knew it btw we can see that for sure). for those of you who think he's just crushing on buck that's fine and i see that interpretation too i'm just saying i think he could also just love buck so deeply but not in a romantic or sexual way and to people who haven't experienced that (allos i'm talking to you) they might see it as romantic but it's different because i'm fully projecting onto him because he is me and i am him and that's just how it is broskis.

that was weird anyway buck and eddie are already in a committed partnership. buck is in eddie's will. buck literally broke off his lease to take subletting his apartment off of eddie's plate without even consulting eddie first because even though they were in a fight they have such a basis of trust that buck knows eddie wouldn't say no to him. they do everything together. they are attached at the hip. they facetime when they're apart even though they see each other every day. they're raising a son together.

i feel like if, instead of a romantic buddie confession, we had them talking about the nature of their relationship and recognizing that they were in some sort of non-romantic partnership and it was just explicit it would work so well in the story. it would also be amazing representation but that's besides the point because the point is that it's good for the story not that they should do it for any other factors. like i sort of picture that they have some heartfelt conversation about eddie leaving and then they're like "you know it's weird i don't like you in a romantic way but i feel like we're more than just friends" and it's just an acknowledgement of the fact that there are so many different types of relationships. i would literally die from joy.

Blades of Light and Shadow really is crazy and iconic because wdym almost all the canon couples in the series are gay

[kvoinre]

of course this idiot has no idea what the blights serum did and his first instinct was to try it anyway

[steveyockey]

crowley MUST win above all for the 11.01 milf orgy

[communistkenobi]

I’m no expert but isn’t this like 99% of gay characters on television. like masc4masc gay guys are less threatening to cishet audiences I feel like this isn’t really breaking new ground

[vintage-bentley]

So many good posts talking about why the WWDITS ending and the handling of Nandermo sucked…but they all use the q slur.

Maybe if we stopped using such a vague term to describe the representation we wanted, and started explicitly demanding GAY representation, shows wouldn’t think they could get away with being called a “queer show” for only showing same-sex attraction as a joke?

[starlight-bread-blog]

So yesterday I watched The School of Good and Evil and... uhhhhh

The Movie:

The Narration:

Oh, think I'm joking? They kissed and Sophie comes back to life because it was a true love's kiss. And then the narration goes "because there is no greater love than the love of a friend". I laughed SO HARD.

Hey, you there

Yes, you, person who doesn't like canon ships

It's okay

And, you, person who doesn't like the popular ships

It's okay!

Ship those characters with whoever you wanna

or don't ship them at all

Who cares!

sudden overwhelming desire to animate this video but w/ knife and pickle inanimate insanity

[scoobydoofenshmirtz]

I guess my crazy radical opinion that I'm low key surprised isn't more common on tumblr is that I don't actually believe it's possible to have a 100% canonically straight character.

[hakusins]

i lowkey feel kind of bad for all the people who follow me for mostly straight stuff cause i mostly lean towards that dynamic quite often for like otome games and like DOL especially. but like this is a very special PSA that i am actually gross yaoi-fetishizing fujoshi with 100820982304 forbidden kinks so if that is not your cup of tea, the door is that way.

i would have put more emphasis on lakes sexuality in her original season. We only know she’s a lesbian because of a pride post. It would have been cool to see her talking about it with Rosa maria or maggy. About how she doesn’t want to get married to this guy because she isn’t attracted to men, but doesn’t have the words to describe it. Maybe Rosa and maggy help her realize that being same sex attracted is normal and nothing wrong with it. (Maggy autocorrected to maggot like 4 times wtf)

fr like i think besides jaiden, season 2 had no mention/hint of queerness and then BAM half the cast shows up in the pride post. uhhh thanks for the half-assed representation from unbearable/boring characters that we will never see again i guess! you’re so progressive ONC!
