#to me. this is peak masculinity. to me

[uncanny-tranny]

Huge shout-out to John Cena for dropping my new transition goal that one time last year. Look at this and earnestly say this isn't peak male performance.

As a former Rafayel main, him being a soft feminine twink is a propaganda I'm never gonna fall for. Fight me on this.

"He's finally masculine."

Yo shut up if you don't like him or bother looking into his content because he is masculine as hell in his cards. Y'all just see a dramatic and sassy man with softer features and proceed to mischaracterize him when he is a big acts of service guy, incredibly clingy, and an ultimate HUSBAND MATERIAL.

And that guy calls you his bride consistently like are you serious that's peak masculinity?!

Never talk to me ever again 😤

Creative recreation. 

Conversations that were initiated years and years ago suddenly appear tanglible and real, like out of nowhere. That imagined future version of you suddenly becomes tangible.

What does the future hold?

As their discharge date comes closer, so must the anticipation for what's next for BTS and Jikook. And, If BTS are good at anything, it's at dreaming. Even better, they are good at making choices in order to achieve those dreams, to make them a reality.

Trust me, not many people dare to dream big and then actually make choices to support them. It takes guts and daring.

They definitely have that going for them.

And, just as we ponder and parse all of the possible ways in which certain scenarios can play out, so must Jimin and Jungkook think about these things. Their late night 'shower talks' about songs and future tours, Jimin's Weverse letter hinted at 'bigger things' about the future that are waiting to be revealed. Jikook must have spent this past year talking and fantasizing about how they want certain things to play out for themselves after MS.

And, as much as I want them to be able to live as they please, freely and without scrutiny, I think the witch hunt that happened after Yoongi made (and freely admitted to) a misstep, might have put a damper on things. And let me be clear in saying that I do not blame Yoongi for any of it.

Yoongi was the one that when asked if they're worried about backlash if any of the members were to date publicly, said ARMYs are all different, and it's wrong to assume everyone would react the same. "... ARMY is a diverse group. In this hypothetical situation, some may accept it, some may not. Whether it’s dating or something else, they’re all individuals, and they will understand things differently,". That, to me, was such a clear warning to all who may oppose their choices. Yoongi a sentry willing to stand up for his members as well as himself in order to fight for a sliver of normalcy in their hectic lives. That read as a 'we'll live our lives regardless of the criticism'.

Yet, this was far from saying they will be making public announcements regarding private matters. Right?

What might exacerbate the issue is the fact that, in Jikook's case, their relationship is not only a private matter but moreover a group matter. They're both members of BTS, and that might make it more complicated. Not to mention the elephant in the closet, the whole SK is not tolerant when it comes to LGBTQI issues thing 😮‍💨. Should have mentioned that first, but we all know it's the dark cloud hovering over this issue. 

Inviting the scrutiny of the public once any of them open that can of worms just seems like insanity to me. And to what benefit? 

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention @hon3ymo0n had a beautiful piece about this 'benefit'.., highlighting Sir Ian McKellan's perspective on coming out while having lived under the cover of the public eye. A must-read, imho. 

Yet here we are, fast forward to 2025 and celebrities are more public than ever. I can't speak on how easy or difficult it is for celebrities in SK to live private lives while in the public eye. I think the guys must have been dating somewhat privately all these years, keeping it very close to the vest, but going public is another thing altogether. And with how wildly diverse and sometimes insane BTS fans can be, I think coming out would put their biggest dream, the whole dominating the music industry while living out my dream of being an all around entertainer thing, under intense pressure.

When it comes to Jikook, are they willing to put their relationship on the line in order to be the vanguard of a community that actually does thrive in privacy? 

I can't wait for them to be released, but I won't expect anything in regards to their personal lives just yet. I think going back to their core, being musicians, will take center stage. Whatever happens on the fringes of that, I'll take it as it comes. For them, I hope at least once the uncertainty of enlistment is fully behind them, once that imagined time has been lived through and is over with, that it gives them space to think about how to live as freely as possible without surrendering personal peace. Being together is what's most important, after all.

Tell us more about how you got your interest in apes, please!

hehe well growing up i was kinda ambivalent towards apes and stuff, i was never a person who thought they were scary or anything but i didn't really think about them much, but then around 2022 or early 23 my friend group pretty much imploded so summer of 2023 i was lonely as hell and didn't really have anybody to talk too or spend time with and honestly i was kinda depressed

and to occupy my time i would do a lot of lil anthro character designs to trade on toyhouse n stuff just like random things for me to draw, i did a lot of fun animal species and i figured i would do a gorilla, again i do different animals all the time so i didn't think it would be anything special but while i was drawing it i decided to put on a gorilla documentary i found on youtube to play in the background and maannn i got instantly distracted from my drawing, that doc just made me so happy, like it was your average animal doc there was some sad parts but they also just showed so many clips of all the members of the gorilla troop just having a good time and playing together and idk IT FILLED ME WITH JOY anyways then i watched like 40 gorilla documentaries over the next couple weeks and now it's part of my personality forever i guess, and of course as i ran out of docs just about gorillas i also started watching some about other apes and monkeys

up until that point my favorite animal had been the african civet hence my username and my main fursona being a civet but now it's mountain gorillas for sure!

i’ll do anything to be a man in the way mana sama is a man

[gh0st-patr0l]

Okay the thing is right. Clark and Drilla are suuuuuper in love and 100% fucking. But I know it is in the strangest, most insecure no-homo straightfake way possible. Bc like the war dogs as a faction r many things but confident in their masculinity is NOT one of them

Like I know the sex is sooo hypermasc and then after fucking nasty in their shared room they look at each other and go "Hey this doesnt make us like. Gay or anything. Right" "No? of course not" "Okay sick" and then they both just kind of nod and do Not unpack anything further

I called Crimson Peak camp, I don't know what that says about me xD

jumping on the meme bandwagon

[lnkedmyheart]

Me watching people that actively refer to Sigma as she/her and act like that headcanon is borderline canon cause "long hair and dainty" behave like someone got murdered when a random artist draws bottom/fem/flamboyant gay Chuuya and claiming it's cause he's short and pretty and therefore harmful stereotyping.

George did the apple dance! 🍏

HE DID! I saw it and I laughed. Love that Charli (and the rest of us) got gifted with it. Why is he so adorable though?! 😭

[menlove]

i think maul would be a good drag queen

I think the complete opposite, actually. if anything, he is a lot more drag king than drag queen. he is all about performance yes, but there is not a drop of femininity in his act. he performs masculinity, not femininity. he is aggressive and serious, not elegant, not fun, and certainly not entertaining - he doesn't like being perceived, and he especially doesn't like being perceived as anything but what he presents himself as.

but the whole point of drag is that it's supposed to be an obvious performance, an exaggerated imitation of gender. and that's the complete opposite of what Maul has going on. he may be performing a role, but that role is entirely unironic and not supposed to be seen through. he wants to be seen as a sith, as a threat, as an enemy, and he hates the mere suggestion that he's not as powerful or as evil or as in control as he acts

before you start crafting and sharing headcanons, ask yourself: do I honestly think this fits with my understanding of the character, or am I simply following trends and stereotypes? is my understanding of the character based on and extrapolated from canon material or is it based on fan content and other people's interpretations? how far from canon are the opinions that inspired my own? am I falling into a vicious cycle of bastardized fandom opinions and headcanons? do I even understand what I'm saying?

As a queer afab non-binary person who fake-dated their bisexual friend in highschool in order to protect my identity and his relationship with his boyfriend, I shoud watch Wedding Impossible. Only for the fake-dating realness.
