#\ homophobia mention

Sitting here watching Tumblr's definition of the word "fruity" slowly converge on what the word "metrosexual" meant in 1998.

gerrard: buckley, what in the devils name are you doing?

buck, with a clipboard in hand: well, gerrard, i was going over everything in the firehouse and i noticed some things

gerrard: what is it buckley?

buck: well, you sir are in violation of the sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression discrimination act, over the past week i've noticed you refer to henretta wilson with slurs, very offensive slurs, as well as myself, due to this myself and mrs wilson have made note of each time you've done this, and reported it to our head HR representative, this here *hands gerrard a piece of paper* is a letter from the chief, requesting your presence for a meeting about your retirement

gerrard: you fucking fa-

bobby: i'd be careful if i was you gerrard, and get out of MY firehouse

gerrard: *screws up the paper and leaves*

chimney: see i told you all we needed to do was set clipboard buck on his ass

hen: look i know i'm a lesbian, but buck has never looked so good before

buck: i am the defender of lesbians!!

Kremy was actually a bit terrified of telling Gideon he's gay. He didn't have, like, the best experience with coming out to people. Especially back when he was still in school, teenagers can be mean. So for the first year or so of their friendship, he just remained in the closet.

But then Gideon was worried that Kremy was sad about not getting any attention from women so he tried to wingman him. A lot. Every town. Instead of just picking up women for himself he was sending them Kremy's way.

Kremy wanted to die in a hole, the amount of embarrassing conversations with women like "oh it's not you, I'm just not looking for that right now" "ohh that's so nice of you but I had some other plans" "ohhhhh...noo...thank yooou.." was driving him fucking crazy. It was driving Gideon crazy. I mean Kremy must have a really specific type.

Finally Kremy just had enough, and evidently a lot to drink so he would hopefully not remember anything hurtful, and he sat Gideon down and told him that he very much was not into women.

Gideon, also an appreciator of men, then offered to find Kremy a nice man to sleep with instead.

A very stressed, flustered, and firm "NO." Led to the end of that whole situation.

Day fifteen of “obligatory sugar baby Kon” behind the cut. tw: mentions of past grooming/abuse; mentions of homophobia. prev: (( chrono || non-chrono ))

“Naw, naw, it was his name-name,” he says with another laugh. “Dude swore up and down it was Greek. And then I’m pretty sure he specifically went out of his way to find a ‘Leander’ to date just so he could validate that shit, because he absolutely did in fact date a super-ripped alien named Leander.” 

Tim pauses again, and isn’t sure if . . . 

Just something about the tone Kon was using and the look in the back of his eyes is sticking in his head a little, maybe. And he does in fact want to know if this guy at least is a valid source of intel in regards to anyone he might need to put on his supervillain hit list, so . . . 

“But he was cool?” he asks carefully. 

“Um–yeah,” Kon says, tearing up the last bite of his sandwich stack a little restlessly and watching himself do it more than making eye contact. Tim represses a frown. “Just, um–I wasn’t into him or anything, for the record, just he was, like . . . I kinda didn’t really know anybody else who was, like–who liked guys or whatever, before him. I mean, like–other guys who liked guys, I mean. And I didn’t know why I felt–like, how I felt about that. And then, like, not everybody was actually cool with him liking guys, and it was just kinda like . . .” 

He shrugs a little, then glances back at him. Tim stomps on so many invasive questions, and wonders again if Tim Drake is, like–an experiment, or if Kon has dated other guys before. Or at least liked other guys, anyway. He already said he hadn’t really done anything with any, and he said he wasn’t into this guy, but . . . 

“I didn’t even ever tell him I was, you know–like–” Kon shrugs again, then takes another grilled cheese off the stack and starts ripping bites off it too. “Like, whatever I am. Did not actually know that I was that at the time, admittedly, but then Tuftan put a collar on me and not remotely unclearly kept me as his pet and I had some memory problems goin’ at the time, and anyway I woke up to some real interesting, uh, realizations or whatever after that one.” 

“. . . I’m sorry, I know this is a serious conversation and you’re telling me something important, but did you just tell me that your gay awakening was a tiger-king who was keeping you as a pet?” Tim asks, trying not to laugh because, like, clearly Kon is being serious, but oh god, what are their actual lives? What is Kon’s actual life? 

“I mean, technically he was still the prince then,” Kon mutters under his breath, flushing in embarrassment with a sheepish laugh and half-hiding his face with the hand not currently full of incredibly-cheap-but-still-calorie-packed grilled cheese. “Listen, he was just real nice to me while I was all fucked-up and freaked-out about a whole lot of shit, okay, and I swear to god, babe, if you make one single furry joke I will actually go throw myself in a volcano and die, so please have mercy?” 

“I am the most merciful guy you know,” Tim lies, and feels a weird sort of–just a weird feeling, kind of, because Kon would never ask Robin something like that. He’d just get irritated or pissed off or defensive. He wouldn’t just–ask, and think there was any chance he’d actually agree not to do something like that. “Won’t hear a word about it out of me.” 

Though he’s not gonna pretend that the fact that Kon apparently had a crush on a guy who was effectively taking care of everything he needed in life isn’t a good sign for his cul-de-sac plans. 

Maybe Kon’s just more into castles. Tim could get him a castle. Get one built or just import one, he doesn’t know. 

“Uh–thanks,” Kon says, still looking sheepish even as he smiles at him again. “Look, literally not even my fault, alright, if you’d met the dude you’d know. He is literally the tiger from Zootopia who would treat you right, okay? Like, I watched that movie and was like ‘huh okay this is a mortifyingly familiar experience’ the friggin’ moment that scene came on.” 

Tim briefly remembers a couple of tiger-themed memes that he remembers seeing around the time that movie dropped, then decides not to go down that rabbit hole or learn anything new about himself today. Like–not anything else new, anyway.

He has maybe learned a few too many new things about himself lately, admittedly. 

Or, uh . . . definitely, yeah.

Radiostatic fic where Vox is super homophobic, Christian cult leader 100%, doesn't think he should be in hell, and is absolutely disgusted by all the free sex between literally all the genders just. Advertised everywhere.

He's ranting to himself after seeing two guys having sex (either in the streets or like, an advertisement) but either way he's like. Disgusting. I hate this, I deserve to he in heaven I saved all those lost souls and I'm better than them, I deserve a reward and not to be subjected to this.

And then, in the middle of his mumbling to himself, he literally bumps into Alastor, full movie style like papers flying everywhere, he has to pick himself up off the ground. And he's just in the middle of about to yell at this guy to watch where he's going but then looks up and his brain just. Freezes. (Once again, full movie style).

Just immediately rewiring his brain and being like, hmmmm. I get it now. I've decided men should fuck each other actually for no particular reason.

(Alastor himself has not done anything other than make fun of his picture show of a head, but it's okay Vox realizes he's into that, lol).

Homophobic Ninjago are so fucking weird and stupid. Like do they not realize that this show was literally made by two countries that are pro-LGBTQ+ (Canada and Denmark)? Not only that, but they completely missed the fact that Sally is bisexual. The bi flag was on her guitar case plus she had the progressive pride flag on her guitar. On top of that, her dad's van also had the progressive pride flag on the back.

Even more was that a lesbian couple was in the show in Season 12 and there was a nonbinary character as well. Like how do you miss all of that, but then start spewing a bunch of homophobic shit and drop the series the moment Cole is implied to be not straight? Make it make sense! The homophobia in this fandom is sincerely disgusting.

Cole being gay or queer in general isn't gonna "ruin the show" and if you think that, you have a lot of self reflection to do.

Do you think Scarecrow is better scrawny? Looking like a damn slenderman

Personally, I love when he's super skinny and unassuming looking, like your typical TV sitcom nerd ala Sheldon Cooper. This is great because you will never be able to see it coming when he starts flying kicks in your face lmao

Of course, that doesn't mean a chunky Scarecrow is bad, nor is a typically handsome one. I feel kids will bully over anything. I was bullied for an eye condition that caused me to have uncontrolled movement o the eyes. They called me "googly eyes"

so, honestly it would make just as much sense for him to be bullied over body weight or prettiness, that latter of which could lean into homophobia i.e. "Cranes such a pretty boy, he must be gay"

Which would add an interesting angle to his character development, regardless of his true sexuality. Complexity is key here. People are more than their appearance, and like anything, looks can be deceiving. This is especially true if you want to write a good Jonathan Crane

Tintin through time! 

Thought it would be fun to have my various designs for Tintin in one post. The canon comics have a floating timeline and Tintin never ages. I think rooting him in a specific time and context makes him feel a little more real (also I am a sucker for historical fiction). Click below for a potted timeline and notes about each design!

Left to right, top to bottom:

Child - in my timeline Tintin was born in 1915, a year into the First World War. He was probably picked on a lot by his peers for being small, ginger and slightly effeminate, and was picked on by adults for being “difficult” and asking too many questions.

Early canon - He leaves school early and becomes a reporter at 14. He’s unhinged, he’s blasé, he dresses like Spongebob. Coming right out of Catholic school he has a lot of unhealthy beliefs he needs to confront and unlearn. I imagine his editor is a pretty shady person as they are willing to send this kid off to dangerous places. His naivety prevents him from spotting any red flags at first.

Late canon - Tintin as we know him! His journalism career is at its peak at the tender age of 17. He’s found a family and stability at Marlinspike. His politics are evolving. He is, however, pretty neglectful of his own personal life, almost fully focusing on his career. He’s starting to grow wary of his editor and they frequently argue, Tintin often winning out as he knows it’s his articles that sell papers.

Young adult - With the Second World War breaking out this is an unstable time in his life. He’s come to terms with being gay but is fired from his paper after being forcibly outed. Tintin and the Marlinspike team take fighting fascism into their own hands. 

For his design here he wears a turtleneck like Captain Haddock, glasses like Professor Calculus (also representing a renewed perspective on things) and his hair is more relaxed like Chang’s! The idea was to show how he has been impacted by the people he cares about. 

After the war ends he struggles with unemployment and burnout, insecure that he might have peaked as a teenager.

Middle aged - It’s the late 50s - early 60s, Tintin is jaded and cynical but still kind and willing to help others. He is absolutely horrified by the events of WW2 and carries an enormous sense of guilt, feeling he didn’t do enough. His faith in journalism has also been thoroughly shaken, witnessing the spectacular failing of the system himself, and realising there are people who genuinely do not care for the truth, and are only concerned with power. 

Elderly - if he somehow makes it to old age he’d be a chaotic little old man who doesn’t give a Single Shit. It’s the late 80s and early 90s, at this point he has retired from journalism and has published his own books, and has taken to becoming a full time political activist (here he’s wearing an AIDS awareness ribbon from 1991, in the 70s Herge had Tintin wear a helmet displaying a symbol for nuclear disarmament). Kids adore him, cops hate him! 

He has taken to technology, being an early adopter of the Internet and desktop computers. He and Chang have since been able to reunite with Chang’s family and they often spend time with Didi’s grandkids!

I don’t know what would kill him. Old age? A car bomb? Maybe he falls over badly and bangs his head one last time. I don’t think it’s my place to decide.

I was so caught up in a scenario in which every single FR player is lgbtq+ that I forgot a world where Flight Rising players can be homophobic

[If you are cishet and you come under this post going “well I play FR and I’m not apart of the lgbt-” I will fucking eat you]

I think we're starting to dilute the meaning of "terminally online". Like, no, it's not terminally online to have eccentric opinions about a popular TV show – people like that existed before "online" was a thing. Unless we're talking at least an "it's homophobic for gay furries to have rat fursonas because they're depicting gay people as vermin", the onlineness falls well short of terminal.
