You know what movie I think has good queer representation?
Paranorman.
Sure, you could argue that it isn’t good at all - it’s a single line at the end of the movie, or it was played off as a joke.
But honestly? It’s still good because he’s literally just a guy. You probably weren’t expecting it because he didn’t ‘act/talk/dress a certain way’. But I’ve always hated that.
This isn’t about gender identity - everyone’s free to present themselves however they want, that isn’t what I have a problem with. (And fuck gender norms just in general!!!) But gender identity does NOT equal someone’s sexuality. The only thing you need to do to be homosexual is have an attraction to people who identify as the same gender as you. That’s it!!!
I don’t like that most gay men in the media are flamboyant, that most lesbian women are masculine. It feels like they’re literally trying to heteronormalize homosexuality. The media thinks you NEED to have both feminine and masculine qualities in a relationship, and I think that’s stupid.
I think it’s stupid that someone who’s questioning themselves will watch all these movies, see how people are presented, and think that just because they have an attraction to a specific gender, they absolutely HAVE to act/talk/present themselves in a certain way.
So sure, Paranorman probably isn’t the best because of whatever the intentions were, but I like that he’s just some random high school jock that happens to be attracted to boys. Because that’s all you need to be gay.

okay okay okay so-
I'm picturing after Dan and Donna take their parental leave the news studio like freaks out and just grabs random Hatchetfield citizens to fill the void and they all do terribly. Like, Ted is just randomly rambling off about some shit and Charlotte's anxiety has just peaked. One time Peanuts and Proud Papa Ed host and it's amazing. Dan and Donna are at home laughing their asses off.
MDHSKSDH I’M FUCKING SCREEEAAAAMING IT’S LITERALLY LIKE THE FUCKING HUNGER GAMES! LIKE THEY DO A RANDOM DRAW & EVERYTHING!
Ok but what if Ted was coanchoring for Tom Houston, & it’s just 2 awkward dudes who aren’t 100% sure they vibe with each other trying to read cue cards. & Ted is trying to make Tom laugh mostly because he’s nervous & he needs to crack a joke or else he’ll explode & Tom is just staring at him like |:/ & Ted chuckles at his joke before turning away into his coffee mug to take a nervous sip
I think the age limit to enter is 18, which means you can have a fresh faced high school senior next to a woman going through a midlife crisis. & because I’m such a comedy genius, I think the cruel fates would pair Charlotte with none other than Max Jagerman. & of course she has no reason to fear him, she has no idea who he is other than “the quarterback.” But every time she stutters or slips up he fucking makes fun of her & it’s honestly painful to watch this sweet woman doing her best get bullied by this young cocky asshole. But hey, views! It escalates when Ted rushes in, wielding Peter’s old metal Spider-Man lunchbox full of rocks btw & whacks him upside the head. He’s barely conscious & Ted says “don’t you dare talk to her like that ever again. And leave my brother the fuck alone” everyone at Hatchetfield High is obsessed with that clip
The Peanuts episode is iconic, Papa Dan is just talking to himself while they put captions for what Peanuts is saying, but it’s just dead silence😂
It’s a much deserved break for Dan & Donna & they’re enjoying all the craziness!

Hallo! Could i kindly request for headcannon with separately Sora, Setsuka, Nikei, Yuki, Mikado, and Syobai, with a gender neutral S/O that likes to randomly hug them from behind and also like to follow them around. How do they react and how does the participate/the people close by react to that? Hope u have a nice day lovely writer
Thanks! It's been a while since I've written for these characters!
.......
Sora
The first time this happened, she thought somebody was trying to jump her until she realizes it's only you.
Eventually she gets used to it, recognizing your footstep patterns moments beforehand.
Your affections are often the distraction she needs whenever investigating places/murders gets overwhelming or she's struggling with her amnesia.
She doesn't mind you following her around while exploring the ship or islands. It gives you a chance to talk about what you found, or just have casual chats to take your minds off of this dreadful "trip".
Whenever the others see you together, they usually mind their business. You both keep tightly-knit alibis, so you're rarely suspected of any murders.
But Monocrow can be quite annoying with his constant "no excessive PDA" reminders.
Setsuka
Ever since you've known her, the ol' "hugging from behind" greeting was something you two have exchanged for years. She's absolutely all for it.
It helps on days where she gets self-conscious of her cybernetic eye and stares into the mirror too long. You'd embrace her and reassure her it looks beautiful, giving her a kiss that cheers her up right away.
Fastforward to the killing game, you'd always stay by each other's side, helping the other students feel better about this grim situation and find ways to lift everyone's spirits.
You're impressed with how quickly Setsuka became the "mom friend" among them.
When they all see you being a sweet and supportive couple, it's hard for them to believe either of you could be potential murderers or Voids.
You might possibly have a friendly rival with Hibiki--just to see who can hug your gf the most in a single day.
Nikei
If he's hyperfocused on writing articles or making observations for scoops, he's easy to startle.
It just takes him out of the zone™ and he may get a little annoyed, so it's best to make your presence known beforehand. Only then he doesn't mind it.
He finds it endearing if you wanna follow him around, as he'd love to ramble about his latest scoop to a listening ear.
Alternatively, he could be venting about Mikado being a total bitch (assuming you're part of Void or don't mind the fact he's in Void), but you'll let him.
Before the killing game, the rest of the Void gang sees your interactions as cute!
Though they're surprised at how he can yell at them one moment, and then smile and hug you the next.
During the game, however, Nikei easily gets flustered by your affections if others are around to witness them--especially if Mikado points them out.
But if you're both alone together he'll let you hug him.
Yuki
Tbh if anyone appreciates your hugs the most, it's this guy.
They definitely help bring him back to reality whenever he starts getting upset or disassociates.
Somehow you just know when he needs you the most.
With his fear of losing people he cares about, he'd rather have you stick by him as you venture through the ship or islands. It gets harder to trust anyone besides his s/o as the murders continue.
But he refuses to think you'll ever be a killer. Just straight-up denies it.
Most of the students see you together and notice he's not as pessimistic anymore, which is great!
As for others, well...they may just see you as "interference" and might try to do something to change that /j
Mikado
Usually, he wouldn't allow anyone to sneak up on the mastermind so easily.
But he can sense whenever it's you and so he just plays along, feigning being "captured" once he feels your arms around him.
His mask is all smiles (or half smiles, in this case).
He'll try to reciprocate the gestures when you least expect it, sometimes sweeping you off your feet.
Honestly when not dealing with Void-related stuff, he likes following you around just as much as you like following him!
But only bc he thinks this is what couples normally do.
The others (esp Sora and Teruya) think you've gone crazy for dating the freaking mastermind, and Nikei fully believes you've been brainwashed/hypnotized into loving him.
Imagine how flabbergasted the journalist is when Mikado explains that's not the case whatsoever.
Syobai
Like Sora and Mikado, he can anticipate if you're coming up behind him.
You two got an inside joke that he'll "charge" you for every second you spend hugging him, with you gladly saying you'll go broke.
What made the Ultimate Broker fall for you hard is knowing his dry humor. You get it.
He does feel a bit relaxed with his back against you, so he may be tempted to let you carry most of his weight while he smokes.
If you tend to follow him around like a lost puppy, he won't make much of a comment on it, though he'll ask if you needed something or if you had info to share.
Don't take it to heart. He's just used to being a loner.
Should anyone else notice, they simply marvel at how you can tolerate him.

Ok, I used 'Mojang' in place of 'god' in an rp yesterday and realized I never really talked about my god headcannons in Minecraft so... here that is! This is just a ramble, might format a proper post later.
Mojang exists as a god for players, they are the ones who created them after all. They exist as a concept, never seen. Sometimes they just randomly send players pieces of paper like "hey here's 4 mobs, choose one :)" but aside from that there's literally no proof they exist.
The Void also exists as a living entity, it feeds off of players - hence why they die when they fall into it. Voidbeings do not die in the void and view it as a godly figure. I have so much void lore, please ask me about void lore, I literally have a custom species of voidbeing based on the concept of the void feeding off player code.
Watchers, Listeners, and Speakers are demi gods - they have a lot of power, but they do not have nearly as much as Mojang or the Void. I feel like they were originally players, more specifically admins and mods, but grew hungry for power/destruction/whatever and eventually made lil factions and gained powers blah blah blah idk I could go on and on about this but it's not very fleshed out.
There are other god-like beings but none of them have enough power for me to really mention... so eh, lmk if you wanna hear my thoughts on the ender dragon, wither, warden, etc etc.
Also this is all canon to Of Songbirds and Watchers (bet you thought that project was dead, it isn't. I'm just very slow and procrastinating.)
