Going nuts lately thinking about which characters in Black Sails are tormented by internalized homophobia and which ones just....aren't. Max has never been conflicted or hung up on her own sexuality for one second. Anne has to do two whole murders about it. Somehow Eleanor is entirely at peace with being the world's most unfortunate bisexual? John Silver would literally die before admitting he wants to smooch another dude. Thomas Hamilton is so famously without shame the writers made it half of his characterization. Flint's sexual hangups drive the entire plot.

As far as I’m concerned, pokemon villain writing peaked with Guzma. Legitimately worried about the erosion of culture due to hyper-tourism surrounding their sacred rites and practices. Abused as a child, ran away from home to start his countries only youth hostel for similarly troubled kids, and funds it with crime. Bug type specialist, with an ace that is mostly known for its first stage being cowardly. Cultivates a big scary persona as a defense mechanism to protect himself and his members, no one can beat big bad Guzma, so they don’t have to be afraid anymore. His grunts trust him enough to ask him for help when they screw up, despite the fact that they all come from troubled homes. Was so significant that pokemon switched from having cartoonishly evil bad guys and teams to the current model of “sympathetic and understandable antagonist that has some very good points, even as they oppose the protagonist, and is in some way actively doing good in their community by supporting those who are the most in need of assistance, due to some legitimate failing of the current system.” There is a cartoon villain looming behind him, but they’re a twist and not the main team presented. Everyone wants to be him, but they can never replicate the perfection that is this man.

Thank you for your service Guzma

The second most annoying aspect of queer discourse posting is when a lesbian posts something that's either a questionable take or, god forbid, a joke at the expense of a man, it seems like eighty shitzillion accounts come out of the woodwork to make posts about how lesbians are mean and judgmental and creepy towards other women based on seeming nothing but vibes and a gross misreading of the OP. The most annoying aspect is that 80% of the time OP wasn't even a lesbian

i always thought it was silly that people would get so pedantic & heated over the idea of fantasy novels using words derived from real locations like "champagne" or "lesbian" or whatever. "a fantasy setting cant have words that are dependent on real-world context" i have bad news for you about all words

Saw this thread on r/teslore the other day and I was straight up crying at how utterly incomprehensible it is to anyone who doesn't go here, I have to immortalize it here for future generations. I love this fandom.

now that ICE is going to be the most rapidly expanding large hiring force in the united states how many people do you think are going to justify working for them and complain about how nobody respects them

“one of them is a little bit self-centred willing to risk their life for exactly one person, but unfortunately that person is a self-sacrificing good bean and thus willing to risk their life for almost anyone” is a fantastic ship dynamic and should be recognised as such more

Rean Schwarzer would be unstoppable if they ever invent Zemurian anti-depressants and mood stablisers.

A handy guide to the groupings of characters in the Trails series:

The Sky Squad

The Crossbell Crew

The Cold Steel Kids

The Cold Steel Kids II

The Daybreak Don't Knows

The Non-Canon(?) Nayuta

The Ys vs Trails in the Sky Alternative Saga... uh... Squad.
