oh woe ist me, horny for peter walter vi... headcanons maybe?

Peter Walter VI NSFW HCS

a/n: bro im gonna write him to be so downbad, a certain friend of mine who is a lover of peter 6 Is not gonna be able to look at me the same way ever again if they somehow get their hands on this post !! DO NOT INTERACT WITH MY ACC OR WORKS IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 !! Warning: unspecified gender of reader, footjob, puppy play, threesome, toy use, virgin!peter, collar and leash, vibrating cock ring, praise, kissing, panty stealing pervert, narrarator being a pervert (ofc), masturbation, him being insecure about his face, mild comfort, mild scent stuff, pegging, ear licking, rimming, rope play, edging

this boy is a virgin when you first meet him, there is no way this dude got bitches previously before you saw his dork ass and went "there's no way I CANT suck his cock"

during your first time with him, he isn't that good at it but its so cute about how needy he is about you

"Can I touch here, please??" "Oh god you feel so good-" "I wanna cum- please-" "love you s'much!!"

Chest or no chest, he will always nuzzle his face against your chest, loving how you smell and how warm you are when you're so snug around his cock

this man is a switch but yet still is a bottom both ways, he loves slipping his cock into you and greedily humping away like there is no tomorrow as he's groping the fat of your thighs and ass, but he also loves taking it up his ass!

around the 10th time you both got naughty with eachother, you were holding a vibrating bullet against the head of his cock, making him whimper and whine, then you had began to rim him, which really did make him surprised but he really loved the sensation

"oh goodness- what're you doing- OH! Oh fuck that- mmmm!!"

when you really got into playing with his cute lil butt, fingering, eating his ass, etc etc, he got so needy and began to beg for more fingers, but his face (if you could see it) glowed red with embarrassment

it was small but still it was bigger than your fingers, and he just never expected you to even offer that up

when you were rubbing around his muscle-ring, he was so embarrassed, even more embarrassed when you stuck your tongue in!

when slipped in, and fully adjusted- bam! there goes the vibration function and he began to grind his cock against you, enjoyin' all these new sensations from his one and only~

He loves it when you're a bit rough with him, even tying his hands behind his back and grabbing the rope, giving it to him either with your own dick or a strap-on.

When involving rope play, one of his activities he likes to do when your stressed is to be tied up but still have enough room to ride on a toy of your choice as you give him praise for being such a good boy~

isn't he your good boy~??

oh yes he is!!

through your praise he has discovered he loves it so much during sex that he can easily cum from your voice, then in his spare time, researching what other ways to get more pleasure from that-

a box filled with puppy play items comes from his hands into yours!

he loves wagging the tail in his ass for you, whimpering and letting out pathetic barks as you whisper in his ear how much he means to you, occasionally licking and nibbling his ear to drive his sensations wild.

"Oh fuck- master- im your good boy! please pet my cock more!!"

When he has been naughty boy, he doesn't like degradation, he doesn't like to feel bad about himself like that-

but he loves edging

he's tied up as usual, his cock leaking and in a vibrating cock ring, your foot pressing down on his leaking member-

oh fuck both of you love it!

how did he become such a naughty boy you ask? by stealing your underwear and using it to get himself off, imagining if it was you right there to bring him to completion, to get him to cum on your hand!

he's so down bad for you he would even let you walk him around on all fours, leash and collar!

he has actually let you do that before- to be fair it was Lorraine's idea but- it was such a good idea that you just couldn't refuse~

lorraine-

LORRAINE

she loves giving you ideas that you and peter 6 just had to ask her for a threesome

and of course she said yes

she surprisingly likes taking charge, taking peter from behind, hand full of his hair (gently of course), rubbing his face against your junk as he is slobbering all over it, saying how tasty you are~

this of course means he had to take his mask off fully. he was anxious that you wouldn't find his scars appealing or attractive.

after a couple of praises, holding him, kissing his hair and face, he melted against you, knowing you really do like him <33

a/n: there was so much more i wanted to do but it would be too much </33, I love this silly mf sm bro!!! I AM BACKKKKK

I expected all my top five to be from Two Cent Show honestly 😅

[our-aroace-experience]

Gosh, I like this girl and I'm trying to make a playlist for her that fully encapsulates what I'm feeling...and like??? I've got the aroace angst songs in there already, but the happy songs I'm trying to look for??? Are all about sex??? Or a very *extreme* form of love that I absolutely do not feel. Where are the songs about liking somebody's laugh but still not wanting to screw them? (P.S. song rec for aroaces: I Don't Have a Name For it by Steam Powered Giraffe)

i agree, i wish there were more songs about different forms of affection/attraction

p.s. that’s a good song!

[saturday-byte]

Thinking about steam vents and jaws and stuff ,,,

Can I get male killers preferably pyramid head ghost face and the oni reaction to an 8ft killer s/o female preferably Sfw and NSFW

I know it's dumb but it's all my pea brain thinks about please drink water and take ur breaks when needed I love your stuff

Sure. I'm also trying to drink my water, so thank you for reminding me. I'm not going to say 8 ft exactly. I'm just going to say tall if that's alright. Please enjoy.

With a very tall female reader. SFW and NSFW

Ghostface, Pyramid Head, Oni

Ghostface

SFW

Daaaammmmnnnn!

Baby!

He may find it a bit demasculating to have a partner who is almost twice his size.

But, hey, that means there's more of you to love, right?

He's totally going to try and reach for things up high and whine for you to do it.

Only to cat call you.

"Wow, hottie up above."

But Danny also teases.

Like, he's an ass.

"How's the weather up there?"

"Can you speak to giraffes?"

"Can you see China from there?"

If he's being too much, just pick him up and move him.

Or, take his camera away.

That'll shut him up.

Or make him whine more.

He secretly loves it when you pick him up though.

The fact that you're tall means he has access to so much more of the world.

And you're cute.

That helps.

NSFW

Because you're tall, you're probably not as agile as him.

AKA, he can run underneath your legs and around you before you even realize what happened.

He'll always start by reaching underneath your shirt and groping you.

And, since he's closer to your waist, your pants go down next.

He can also pull down your panties just as easily.

You're at an extreme disadvantage with this sneaky little shit.

Danny likes to take you from behind since it's easier to surprise you that way.

He, however, doesn't like blow jobs from you.

Not because he doesn't like blow jobs.

It's because you really have to bend down and that's humiliating for him.

But he will gladly eat you out since he doesn't have to bend down as far.

It also makes your balance off.

So he can push you to the ground very easily.

He's not the biggest down there, but he sure has power.

His ultimate goal is to keep you on the ground.

When he cums, he wants to see if he can make it spill out of you.

Since you're so tall, he thinks you're also bigger down there.

He's not the smartest in that department.

At the very end, he likes to lay on top of you and fall asleep.

You make a good pillow.

Pyramid Head

SFW

He can reach your face without bending down.

And, he's only a few inches taller.

Finally, someone close to his own size!

The idea makes him feel less lonely.

With this, comes the fact that he can hug you at his level.

He doesn't look like he's holding a child's hand when he's walking with you.

He can dance with you properly if you'd like.

You can kiss him without him picking you up.

And he doesn't have to sit down to pet your head.

Dream come true.

To others, that might seem like a ridiculous thing.

But to him?

He finally has someone like him.

He feels so much more normal.

Despite the fact you are both similar in size, that doesn't equate to strength.

He is still stronger.

But that means he can still pick you up.

And he can still carry you.

Though he has to be careful because he has walked you into doorframes.

Laugh that off because he'll be very angry with himself after.

The best part?

You can give him all the kisses you want!

And, even better?

They can be surprise kisses!

He couldn't love you anymore!

NSFW

Just because you're the same size, doesn't mean sex with him will be any different.

He still wants to be as gentle as possible.

He always asks your permission with the point of a finger or nod of the head before doing anything.

However, since you are bigger, he doesn't feel as worried about being on top.

Only if that's okay with you though.

If it is, then get ready.

Because he finally feels like he's got some control.

He gets to set some of a pace.

He usually isn't satisfied at the end of sex with other partners.

Not because they aren't good to him, but because they have to be on top due to safety.

Just be careful.

The idea of a little control might get to him and make him a little rough.

Just let him know if it's too much.

Being able to see your facial expressions as he fucks you really turns him on.

Like stated before, he never gets to be on top.

He can last a long time and is finally able to actually release.

He cums a lot.

He always tries to pull out before.

But sometimes he'll cum in you.

Just to see how much of him you can hold.

Also, just for tonight, let him sleep on your lap.

Since he could never do so before.

Yeah, you're a dream come true.

Oni

SFW

Oh my.

Beautiful.

He's not used to seeing such tall women.

Seeing one close to his size?

Amazing.

Despite your size, you carry yourself with such elegance and grace that he can't help but stare as you move.

Please excuse him, he doesn't mean it.

He's just floored by your features.

Line Pyramid Head, he doesn't have to bend down to reach you.

And, similarly, you don't have to climb on something to reach him.

He loves cupping your face in his hand, and not having to bend over to do so makes him so relieved.

If he had a small partner, he worries he'd frighten them by looming over them then crouching down.

Like a hawk over a mouse.

Kazan also knows that he is always able to find you.

Which is super helpful because he has this constant need to protect you.

But he also feels a little better leaving you alone.

Most wouldn't mess with someone of your size.

But he is quick to defend you if needed.

He'll still call you 'his little cherry blossom' though.

It's his way of showing affection.

NSFW

Well now.

Since you are taller, he doesn't have to worry so much about crushing you.

Now this man has a size kink.

And you shatter that.

However, since you're larger, he can be rougher.

And does this man love being rough.

He's always on top.

It's a cultural thing about men being on top.

He loves the fact that he doesn't have to take you from behind.

You'll be fine with him on top.

And that drives Kazan wild.

Almost feral.

He's ripping off your clothes and growling before nearly tackling you to the floor.

And this man is huge.

But he assumes you're big enough to take it.

And, if you can, by God will he go.

He could last all night just thrusting into you, lasting multiple rounds.

When he finally cums, he takes pride in how full he can stuff you.

"My little cherry blossom, bare me a child."

He also has a breeding kink, and, since you're the perfect woman.

He has no doubts you'll have the perfect heir to the Yamamoka family line.

After, just once, he wants to see what it's like to be the little spoon.

He might ask for it more often.

No matter how tall, you're his little cherry blossom.

Round 4 Match 15

propaganda below the cut! (massive wall of text warning)

Tracy Chapman:

"I can’t think of anything clever to say because I’m too busy sighing dreamily"

"GUYS ITS FUCKING TRACY CHAPMAN VOTE FOR HER OR ELSE ILL EAT PLAYDOUGH"

"Tracy Chapman made the best song of all time (fast car)"

"ik im the hope sandoval guy but if hope doesn't make it tracy has to she made me realize i was a lesbian i just thought i was bi then i listened to her and now im a lesbian she is powerful she is strength if you looked at her and looked at my art you would see 20 years of inspiration from one single woman"

"she's too good to commit atrocities to me but im the gore guy and you aren't for that. i would let her take out my vocal chords and use them as floss. i would have her saw down my bones to make a vinyl of her music. i would go on all fours and let her slaughter me like a pig. i want to be her cat"

"The most powerful written and performed voice of the 90s. Everyone, of any nationality or belief system, could feel the words Tracy Chapman sang. She gets her dues but deserves even more."

Stephen Malkmus:

"i can't even stand stephen malkmus but there's a very special girl out there who needs this win"

"My perpetually stoned, nonsensical girlfriend...if we don't invent the time machine soon I might die. He's like 6 ft tall so unfortunately I'd be like one of those birds that ride on giraffes and eat bugs out of their fur. And then I'd die in a weed accident during the recording of Wowee Zowee? Before that though I'd spend 25 hrs a day in bed with him. Alright thanks"

"Stephen Malkmus chronically addicted to moaning and gasping in Pavement songs like he’s getting the best dicking down of his life in the back of the tour bus while everyone else is asleep"

"This is the indie-label match, right? Then it has to be Malkmus, he *made* the scene. And he's still releasing excellent music today. He's just the most influential rockstar of the 90s."

"my gay pavement fan uncle gets out of prison tonight and he knows you ratted him out in '06. the only way to make this right is to vote for stephen"

"Pretty please vote for him, my friend loves him and he really wants him to win"

""There were times he refused to speak to his bandmates, pulling a jacket over his head and referring to himself as "the little bitch"." I have also heard him refer to himself as a brat, a queen, a primadonna, a sociopath, and a narcissist. All of these descriptors have made me want to slam him against a wall and turn his neck fun new colors."

"I mean, Pavement is THEE indie band of the 90s. The lowkey snark, Koreaaaa, so much style that it's wasted. And Malkmus is an understated cool rockstar: the hair, the face, Silver Jews! He never ever sold out. He's the 90s."

"the most beautiful man ever he looks like a gorgeous fairytale prince. he has been hot since he emerged on the scene and continues to be so as their reunion tour comes to a close. stephen forever"

"we have to consider the autism swagger. find me a pavement write up that doesn’t spend three paragraphs waxing lyrical on his inability to make eye contact. find me a YouTube comment section that doesn’t have hoards of moms swooning over his flat affect. his refusal to wear anything more formal than a flannel for the first decade of his career? genuinely culturally influential. 30 glorious years of expressionless performances. sunglasses in the dark. so many straight men falling over themselves for him they made a joke about it in the Barbie movie. raw tbh sex appeal. and he’s got a great nose"

"he had a couple of unfortunate haircuts during this period but highkey i would break both of my arms to just be able to make out with him. please vote for SM my life is in danger if you don't"

[lux-et-astra]

analysis of what each sink scene represents - session two

once again thank you tash for the reams of analysis material!!!! spoilers (obviously) under the cut

for reference, i'm calling fire/dry girl/narrator kate, and her victim/best friend birdie

bearings (scarecrow tent): ahh what a scene. this is one of only a few more family-oriented scenes, along with the feathers/bath scene (and arguably dip day/it needs to dig and balanced for eggs/parents' race), which is really special i think! our characters are a birdie parallel fairly obviously and her father. we get more themes of birds & scarecrows (our first mention of a scarecrow actually!) and we can see how hunted birdie is - i think that's the main thrust of this episode, how the scarecrow (kate) is getting closer and closer. however there's also a nice undertone of dubious relationships! this theme builds further with the feathers/bath scene but we can see in the father's dialogue that he's concerned about some of his daughter's relationships ("Oh yes, here they come, these boys, creeping in closer every day –", "I wanna protect you! You’re just –", "Feel like the moment I close my eyes, someone’s gonna grab you away.") which seems trite and trivial compared to the fear we as the audience feel because of the approaching scarecrow, but the feeling behind this echoes for birdie's relationship with kate as well! so there's a nice double meaning in there.

beautiful neck: on the surface this scene makes zero sense, thank you tash <33 HOWEVER i think there's one key line that gives us some analysis material and that line IS "Do you want some straw?" now the reason i think this line is important is that what else has straw? scarecrows. we see that textually later on in the dog in illness scene although there they're talking about hay which is just the same thing i think? ("He doesn’t want to bundle up hay in a tidy heap, he wants to scare me!") anyway therefore we can draw links between the giraffe and the scarecrow! so let's look at their relationship a little deeper. the man leaves behind his family to go with an intriguing and mysterious figure, a fairly straightforward parallel to draw with the camping trip. in addition, the giraffe might seem like a prey animal and therefore not dangerous, but we can see that it is actually pretty dangerous ("We’re powerful, and our legs are strong, and we run, very fast.", "We’re warriors.") which could also represent kate - girls and young women have social camouflage when it comes to being perceived as threats, however kate is very clearly dangerous to herself & to birdie. the final interesting thing to analyse about this scene is the narrator's parting words about it! "Funny, isn’t it… what you really want. What’s underneath… Nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just what’s inside you. Quite nice, really, when you admit what it is." i think while this could be construed as kate encouraging birdie that their friendship was valid and normal, it could also be a reference to kate's own fire-starting desires! evidently she managed to largely hold off on self-immolation until the camping trip, but that was evidently always what she really wanted and what was "underneath"! (also given that i'm suggesting that the giraffe is a kate parallel and the man is a birdie parallel, the fact that they have sex implies that their friendship was verging on romance. thanks, tash!)

feathers/bath: this is another family scene, showing us a birdie and her mother this time. i think the key part of this scene is building on the birdman's theme of birds as prey/victims/hunted, showing birdie to be part of that theme as well, the bird rather than the scarecrow, which the next scene develops in full. besides that, we also get to see pretty clearly that birdie has a loving family - her mother calls her "love", "my love", and "sweetheart", and evidently her dad is also involved in their life ("Your dad did say…", "I’ll get your dad.") this creates a further contrast between birdie and kate (who lives with her grandmother as far as i can tell) and also we can see that birdie might perceive this love as being over-bearing ("Yep, okay, that’s fine, thank you Mum, you can get –", "Oh my God. No!", "What do you want, Mum?") which could lead to her feeling stifled and to her decision to run away with kate! (the more analysis-y bits about this scene are actually about its reprise in sessions six. damn. thought i had more material)

dog in illness: a really perfect conclusion to the session, i feel, this wraps up a lot of the important themes really nicely, joining the scarecrow from bearings and the bird theme from feathers. we have a male hospitality worker, a birdie parallel, a friend, and a scarecrow! so we have lots of fun things here including birdie's paranoia & fear about the kate stuff pushing her away from her friends ("Sam, if you’re doing this – [...] If you’re doing this, can you just do it, please?", "She’s – she’s being fussy.", and then from birdie "I’m not mad, Claire, you’re making me sound mad.") which continues the theme of her guilt/memories distancing her from her relationships. as well, we get a scarecrow getting closer! while this could in part be birdie having repressed memories that are creeping up on her, it could also represent kate who is literally getting closer to her as the narrator! and then we get the fantastic exchange "MAN: Scarecrows aren’t for scaring people, madam. // SAM: I know. // MAN: They’re for scaring birds. // SAM: (SCARED) I know. // MAN: Are you a bird, madam?" which ties together the whole session! natasha hodgson you genius. it fully reinforces birdie as a victim of not unfounded fear and as the target specifically of the scarecrow AND the birdman, giving some context for the birdman sections which continue to crop up. this scene is a lot of people not listening to birdie, invalidating her fears, something which could even have pushed her to find a sleep aid to begin with........

final thought: so here's the narrator's ending speech for this session ("The things that come back, it all means something. Underneath your dreams, swimming into focus, is the truth. Like a lovely bit of hair, at the bottom of the canal. And we’ll find it. Whatever it is that’s keeping you from sleeping. Whatever it was that you did.") and what i find interesting about this is that she keeps framing it as something BIRDIE did. which... hmm...

once again feel free to chat to me if you have any thoughts on the sink!!

Love is in the air

I can't believe I didn't notice this before. Thanks twitter for waking me up.

Saitama's not extremely giddy because he sees a big clam. I mean honestly, why would he? It's just a clam, calm down. You don't even have a pot yet.

Or a big dog. Which got all happy and cuddly with him and it still didn't induce this kind of reaction.

No, he's this giddy because he sees Genos. Being cute.

Saitama has a thing for cute stuff. Genos wears a pink apron for crying out loud, he loves little kids and he likes cats and dogs and then he has a little cutesy giraffe keychain too. He even called the big chinned kid not cute at all.

This is what happens when you get struck by dose of dopamine when you see a person you love. It triggers a dopamine release into the brain.

In essence, Saitama is acting like a lovestruck fool and that's why he doesn't notice anything else important that is happening around him. Parts of the brain that regulate critical thinking, self-awareness, and rational behavior, including parts of the prefrontal cortex, get turned off when feeling love. In short, he's being bit of a dummy. He's not very articulate either, he's literally repeating himself too.

Genos is basically the best antidepressant. And the worst possible distraction, can't forget that love turns brain into mush.

More meta below the cut.

Dopamine, produced by the hypothalamus, is a particularly well-publicized player in the brain’s reward pathway – it’s released when we do things that feel good to us. In this case, these things include spending time with loved ones and having sex. High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction. These chemicals make us giddy, energetic, and euphoric, even leading to decreased appetite and insomnia – which means you actually can be so “in love” that you can’t eat and can’t sleep.

Dopamine is the brain's reward system that Saitama's brain seems to be sorely lacking because he displays a lot of typical adhd symptoms and one of them is the poor connection between the parts of the brain that connect dopamine and reward system with emotions and regulation, prefrontal cortex and the amygdala and other parts of the brain, creating deficiency in dopamine and thus depression and other stuff.

This guy explains the neuroscience better than I do. I don't actually have any kind of clue lmfao this stuff flies above my head, I'm not smart enough to be a neuroscientist. But now that he is apparently getting his actual dopamine fix, it would seem that the connection between his brain parts has become better.

Important because he has cognitive powers yea? Brain stuff is important. We had depiction of the brain during psykos too. There's separate Lobster example from Jordan Peterson bout serotonin, low social status and reference in Orochi's lobster back body being correlated as well. One of the reasons monsters tend to posture so much I suppose.

Petting a dog also releases serotonin and dopamine, two feel-good chemicals that can improve your mood. Serotonin and dopamine levels are often low in people who suffer from depression, so having a dog can help improve symptoms in depression sufferers.

I heavily suspect this change has occured because the areas of the brain, temporal lobe, got neuron activated and stimulated on the moon, where he experienced deja vu that I've made a meta about.

Most specifically, the amygdala, which controls memory, decision making and emotional responses.

In one study, electrical stimulations of the right amygdala induced negative emotions, especially fear and sadness. In contrast, stimulation of the left amygdala was able to induce either pleasant (happiness) or unpleasant (fear, anxiety, sadness) emotions.[10] Other evidence suggests that the left amygdala plays a role in the brain's reward system.

This is why Psykorochi's form is inspired by the neuron and why divine power appears in thunderstorms and there's a lot of electric crackles going on whenever someone uses divine power.

The amygdala is also involved in the modulation of memory consolidation. Following any learning event, the long-term memory for the event is not formed instantaneously. Rather, information regarding the event is slowly assimilated into long-term (potentially lifelong) storage over time, possibly via long-term potentiation. Recent studies suggest that the amygdala regulates memory consolidation in other brain regions. Also, fear conditioning, a type of memory that is impaired following amygdala damage, is mediated in part by long-term potentiation. During the consolidation period, the memory can be modulated. In particular, it appears that emotional arousal following the learning event influences the strength of the subsequent memory for that event. Greater emotional arousal following a learning event enhances a person's retention of that event. Experiments have shown that administration of stress hormones to mice immediately after they learn something enhances their retention when they are tested two days later. In rats, DNA damage was found to increase in the amygdala immediately after exposure to stress.[47] Stress was induced by 30 minutes of restraint or by forced swimming. By seven days after exposure to these stresses, increased DNA damage was no longer detectable in the amygdala, probably because of DNA repair. Buddhist monks who do compassion meditation have been shown to modulate their amygdala, along with their temporoparietal junction and insula, during their practice.[48] In an fMRI study, more intensive insula activity was found in expert meditators than in novices.

UVA light, which is what I suspect Saitama's harmful divine power is depicted as, has the capacity to harm DNA of living organisms and there are multiple references to that it is UVA light, for instance Carnage Kabuto can see it because beetles can detect UV light.

So after a week, his amygdala had repaired itself from the harm done by his own divine power to himself, because he used far too much power at once and his temporal lobe was having a seizure.

(Ergo its not healthy)

Basically, now that it has been a week after they got let out of Metal Knight's care, after his amygdala got highly stimulated and activated by his divine power, he's starting to remember something. More than likely, the fear of Genos death is going to be resurfacing soon, but so are the emotions that he experienced on the moon for Genos.

(if I understood that correctly)

Animal studies have shown that stimulating the amygdala appears to increase both sexual and aggressive behavior. Likewise, studies using brain lesions have shown that harm to the amygdala may produce the opposite effect. Thus, it appears that this part of the brain may play a role in the display and modulation of aggression.

That giddy, euphoric excitement you feel when spending time with the person you love (or seeing them across the room, or hearing their name)? You can trace this entirely normal effect of falling in love back to the neurotransmitter dopamine. Your brain’s reward system relies on this important chemical to reinforce pleasurable behaviors, including: eating listening to music having sex seeing people you love Simply thinking about the object of your affections is enough to trigger dopamine release, making you feel excited and eager to do whatever it takes to see them. Then, when you actually do see them, your brain “rewards” you with more dopamine, which you experience as intense pleasure.

In short, Saitama is now a free real estate for emotions. And he's already responding very well to dopamine triggers.

Such as actually feeling the emotions associated with feeling love for someone when he sees Genos.

Familial love? Or will it evolve into romantic attraction? We're bout to find out, soon tm.

I am very glad a post I made about social contagion and Steam Powered Giraffe is finding its audience.

BUT.

Even though this was intended as a joke, I have thought about it since and did see some things in tags that made me want to clarify what I mean by “social contagion” versus what I called “the station” in my tags. Someone used “gateway drug,” which is also apropos. Because there is a very crucial difference between the two, I think, and I want to make sure nothing I said gets misconstrued by the wrong people.

When cishet people say being queer is due to social contagion, what they’re saying is that were it not for exposure to queerness, or deviance, in media or in public life, people would default to Straight. That’s why they’re working so hard to scrub queerness, or any hint of queerness, from the public sphere.

But the thing is, they wouldn’t be so afraid of queer exposure if cishetness was that ingrained, right? It’s not that people are being exposed to lgbtq+ people or content and suddenly becoming queer, they already were or it was through that exposure that they realized they were. Those are completely different things.

It’s like going through your life being told you only have to be options A or B. There’s no other options, you’re A or B. But then one day you see option C and you’re like “woah, nobody told me about C, that looks way more comfortable/authentic” or “woah, I’m totally C, why did nobody tell me about that? If I don’t have to try so hard to be A or B anymore, I won’t.”

The humor for me is just how, to me, blatantly obvious, like it is a verifiable, Googleable fact that gender, sex, and sexuality are complex and largely social constructs and that binary gender is a pretty recent Western phenomenon, and yet conservatives (and centrists, even some Dems I hate to say!) are acting like social media is creating queerness, and it’s like no, more people are just more likely to see option C, D, and Etc. these days.

And it’s the type of things they’re trying to ban. Like, if the cisheterosexual institution can’t hold its own against a short haircut, certain colors, people kissing, or, in the case of my post, 2-4 singing robot mimes, perhaps the institution was not that strong to begin with!!! That’s just how people found their option C, and that’s a good thing!! More of that!! That they can’t see how obvious this is, that’s what’s absurd to me.

The thing is, before social media, people found ways before. They found their stations in other people, people whose genders they felt more aligned with their own, in spiritual centering, in nature, in everything. They wrote secret notes, experimented in private, tried new clothes on, and gave each other secret names. Queer people, trans people, nonbinary people, everyone else, have always been here.

Even if they ban queer lit from every public school (I hope they don’t, and they most definitely shouldn’t, but this is a catastrophic example), we will continue to find our ways out of this sour little cage of cisheteronormativity. Whether they like it or not.
