#public claiming

[absolutebl]

Hii!

I've seen that you mentioned in the recent weekly roundup that the public claiming is one of your fav tropes (I also saw your separate post on this one).

Out of curiosity, do you have your ultimate favourite example(s) of this trope?

Thank you for your service and have a great day!

Favorite Public Claiming...

Oooo, what a fun question. lemme think... (post in reference pointed out this moment in ep 4 of Laws of Attraction)

To answer your question?

I just gotta go with the Thai BL of my heart...

Dean vs Alex in the cafeteria (Until We Meet Again).

It is such a comforting moment for me. I enjoy rewatching that whole segment.

Also, It's a particularly big deal under the context of the red thread. So it's narratively highly significant.

After all, a great deal of went wrong with Korn in the last life was his inability to claim and be out with In. There is simply no way Dean will let that happen the second time around.

It's like he built his whole personality and purpose specifically to be able to hold on to, keep, and be public with Pharm when he finally finds him. Alex even says/implies, "I wouldn't believe it, I wouldn't give up, except that it's you."

I mean, I have a real soft spot for SOTUS and the arm throw (both times) and PitchBank's modern iteration of this in Golden Blood. And I admit, that's the first I thought of when you asked, but the surrounding BLs aren't my favorites.

Speaking of, My Engineer actually has a quite a few good ones.

I also have a really adoration for two friendship group based claiming meets teasing moments.

Dark Blue Kiss and their ending sequence. Because PeteKao's uni group kinda knew all along. And them eating and teasing together is so cute.

And the high school version ultimate being forced into acknowledging the thing EVERYONE knows.

Of course. I defy you to watch Love Sick and not totally fall in love with Noh.

The most extreme one and probably my favorite moment of an otherwise pretty unbearable show was Can kissing Tin in A Chance At Love.

I gotta say, for various reasons, this is Thai BL's trope to lose. We don't see it much elsewhere.

college is supposed to be a new start for danny: one in which his “work” life and personal life stay strictly separate. but when danny moves into his new gotham university dorm for the upcoming semester, his hopes are dashed. gotham is overflowing with lost souls, and they won’t leave him alone long enough for him to finish his damn physics homework.

when mr. and mrs. wayne offer him refuge in their old study, danny thinks he’d be stupid not to take it. he wasn’t expecting their house to still be inhabited, but whatever. he can blend into the background. he’ll do anything for some peace and quiet.

now if only he can convince martha to stop trying to out him to the rest of the family.

i can't believe there's a most annoying tumblr users poll and nobody nominated me when there are literally posts about how i'm the worst tumblr user out there with more notes than the population of some people's hometowns, but i'm glad nobody did considering how much harassment i've dealt with because of those posts to the point that i wouldn't wish the experience on my worst enemies. what a stupid, cruel idea. i hope whoever came up with it is ashamed of themselves.

Call me old fashioned but when I see suffering alongside those who are not suffering (in the same way at least), my first thought is not to drag down those who are happy so they can experience suffering themselves, but to instead try and work out how those suffering can be raised up so everyone is living happily and peacefully.

And if to stop one group suffering, I must instead pass that pain onto others, I simply don't make a decision about who I executively decide to be mose deserving of suffering but instead put in the effort to find another way

I keep seeing people reblogging some of my ideas/thoughts about dca saying "gonna use this in my fic now", "it's OUR idea now", etc

No? I didn't give my permission to do so? And you didn't even ask?

Please don't use anything written/drawn by me even if it seems insignificant/small, unless you asked and I gave you permission to do so

I know some of those people are not saying it seriously but it makes me extremely uncomfortable

Daeran marrying a tiefling and giving them his noble last name is the funniest prank I think he could ever inadvertently pull on the other Mendevian nobles actually.

I was so convinced about the Mr Clarke is gay headcanon that I completely forgot the fact that he had a girlfriend. Totally went over my head.

When watching, this was a jumpscare.

Like- what do you mean he’s not living happily with his boyfriend in a little cottage where they do scientific experiments together?

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist

any thoughts about how could it be the dynamic between viserys-naerys- daeron ii in fire & blood 2?

okay so straight up the dynamic i’m MOST interested in learning about in f&b2 is the viserys-naerys-daeron ii dynamic. first of all, those first two are just UNGODLY DISTURBINGLY YOUNG when they have children. viserys has naerys, his YOUNGEST child when he is sixteen. naerys has daeron when she is fifteen. viserys is a grandfather before he is 32 years old. it is truly babies raising babies out here!! i mean fuck, daeron has baelor under significantly less traumatic circumstances but he’s still only 17 by the time he starts having kids! that’s all just wildly interesting and disturbing to me. like, that alone, how close in age they all are because they all married & started having kids at crazy young ages, explains so much about why this period has always felt particularly deranged to me (“this period” being post dance where we get this incredible string of deranged freaks from aegon iii to aegon iv that ebbs into this vaguely “we’re having a targ renaissance yay” era that erupts into civil war anyways! i LOVE this conceptually i’m so ready to be annoyed when f&b2 comes out and i’ve hyped this all up for some more dumb sex stories from another court fool ajsjs).

but then secondly, okay, when you look at the timeline- daeron is born in 153 and the birth nearly kills naerys 15/16 year old naerys. aegon iii is still king for four more years. that last year, aegon iv spends his time (and the next two years after that) shacked up with megette. then aegon spends a few years shacked up/probably raping casella vaith the hostage, before running off to war. then he spends more time raping naerys, wherein she has a miscarriage, and aegon is sent away so he doesn’t rape her to death. daeron marries myriah, has a child with her. but before that child is two, in quick succession, his father comes back home & immediately starts raping his mother again, his mother nearly dies having twins & now he has a sister younger than his son, and daena unveils her new bastard who everyone thinks is aegon’s, and baelor is so distraught by all this he fasts himself to death. viserys is king, and likely dead before daeron’s second son is born and before daeron turns twenty. suddenly the person responsible for making sure aegon doesn’t rape naerys to death are daeron & aemon, who have NO authority over aegon. this man has the audacity to stay alive for twelve more years.

that shit is insane. daeron’s father is only around when he’s raping his mom. the closest things daeron has to a father figure are his uncle who wants to fuck his mom, his grandfather who is probably busy constantly (and also only in his thirties 😭), and his batshit insane cousin baelor. his childhood is marked by almost constant instability until it stabilizes for the worse when his cousins all get locked in the maidenvault, then gets thrown into upheaval once again as baelor & viserys die and now his dad who is only around when he’s raping his mom is suddenly back in town and has total control.

and naerys. she’s like if aemma lived long enough to parent her kids, but worse bc you could argue there was fondness of a sort between aemma & viserys. aegon and naerys hate each other. she is constantly pregnant and on death’s door from the age of fifteen (three years older than her father!) until the day she dies, in her early 40s. it sounds like worse than hell to me. it is a lifetime where the only source of comfort you have is the son you birthed at fifteen, because maybe your life is a nightmare but if you raise him to be marginally less evil, he won’t destroy the innocent little girl you know is going to be sent to court to be his wife. everyone else is actively holding you hostage and applauding you for taking the abuse so well. your whole life is screaming for help and all you get is tears telling you you’re so dutiful and brave.

and viserys just. watches it all happen. of course he does! his kids are simply ungrateful! he had to get married at twelve and his wife wasn’t born in westeros so they had nothing in common and at least they have a living father, they have no idea how lucky they are. why should daeron and naerys blame him when he gave them everything because he had nothing? it’s a shame it wasn’t naerys that offed this man. i do think she was his favorite kid tho and i bet he’s not subtle about it at all.

Get deeply upset when we see people in DID support communities complaining about people who are open about their condition in any way which is not mourning.

There is an inherent ableist bias in society that people of any handicap must perform their disability to be considered legitimate. Every person who suffers any form of chronic illness, physical or mental, is subject to this discrimination.

The solution is not, can not and will not ever be to criticize and shame people who are not performing illness to an acceptable level for public. Mentally ill people do not owe the world a performance and blaming other marginalized people for your oppression will not release you from it.

Angry that this is a point we must continue to argue.
