#✨UNRESOLVED GAY TENSION✨

[anonymoosen]

Tyden exes au cuz I’m brainrotted

They thought they’d never see or talk to each other again…

…but they did :3

[yanderefreud]

also i want you to rank the multiversal stevetonies: 1872, 616, ults, mcu, and any others you want to include ✨

OOOOO BOY. Okay

So number one is extremely unsurprisingly going to be 616. They're the ogs and absolutely no one does it like them. The slow burn, the extremely unresolved homoeroticism, and the angst (the ANGST!!!!!),, all of that is just unparalleled. None can compete with that much lore and all those moments of them just saying sappy gay shit like "you gave me a home" or "i'm not half as good at anything as i am when i'm doing it next to you", or absolutely heart-wrenching things like "it wasn't worth it" or "he loved you, and he admired you, even when you fought"

After some deliberation with my own self I have decided that 1610 (Marvel Ultimates) is my second favourite. I just love the dynamic A LOT. Imagine you're this repressed homosexual man who was transported a billion years into the future and you fall in love with the most obnoxious man ever and then you find out he's dying. The struggle of reconciling with your own self and then trying to pursue something with someone who might as well be dead. There are just so many possibilities

MCU is going to be a respectable third. I have a lot of fondness for it because it is what introduced me to stevetony (when I first saw the helicarrier scene all I remember was thinking "these guys have sexual tension and I want to be there when they resolve it"). One complaint I have is the initial hostility that they had, because I think A LOT of people got hung up on that lmao. I don't really watch marvel movies anymore, not even old ones bc they just make me sad :-(. Still, they have some absolutely incredible moments like "i'm home" or "do you trust me" "i do" and "i thought you and Tony were still gazing into each other's eyes (thanks natasha)"

1872... Oh 1872. I have a lot of feelings and not enough Canon content, and that's the only reason why it's so low on the list. I love how Steve was literally the CATALYST for Tony becoming Iron man like. That is so sick omg... He was so grief-stricken that he literally went mad. I also fucking love their interactions "I think you pulled enough corks for today, Stark. It ain't even noon" "oh why hello there sherif. I guess you have nothing better to do than infringe on my constitutionally guaranteed right to pursue happiness (can't argue w that ngl)"

Avengers Assemble!! I actually fucking love them ngl but the reason why they're number five is that there isn't enough angst. Where is the bloodshed and death and tears????? I need to see grown men crying and screaming in agony thanks. Other than that, I love their dynamic and how fucking domestic they are. They are so married they're making my parents look single omg like GET A ROOM GUYS. My favourite thing that Steve ever said in that show was "iron or not, you're still the man" hell yeah boy get that dick

Marvel's avengers 2020 (the video game!!). God. I did not play it myself but I have seen Stevetony scenes and they are so SICK. Tony being so fucking DEVASTATED at Steve's death is really entertaining and makes me very happy. He should continue being sad hehe >:-))

Other than that, I haven't seen any other universes w them in it. There's EMH, and I'm planning to watch it eventually (I'll let you know what I think!) and as for 3490, I think that needs a separate post in itself. I hope this answered your question hehe ty <33333

Unlocked Recap

Everything I'm saying is accurate you can trust me bro

Sophie's registry file misgenders them :(

Being mad about the series' portrayal of trichotillomania, part 420

The council is either deliberately misunderstanding the Moonlark Project so as to not acknowledge they suck, or Shannon forgot her own character's motives. Hoping for the former.

Bronte listens to Foxfire gossip. Does he walk up to students and demand they spill the tea? What happens here? Shannon what?

Let Elwin punch Bronte 2k22

Elwin Does Not have time for alloromantic bullshit.

Transmasc Fitz rights

Biana has an ✨exceptional accent✨ hoot hoot

"when it comes to emulating Biana's style, the most important element is staying true to who you are" queer coded Biana confirmed?

Queer coded Dizznees have been confirmed from the beginning but always nice to see more of it.

Tiergan and Prentice got majorly sappho and her friend-ed by the Council.

Marella registered for the match, what's up with that?

Horses are only for girls now. But the Lost Cities don't have gender roles.

RUMOR HAS IT THAT MARELLA AND LINH DO ADDITIONAL TRAINING TOGETHER

Little Miss Perfect Della propaganda- unlikely the Matchmakers are good enough for the number one match to work out perfectly, she chose Alden for the image.

Marella has a stuffed kelpie named Sir Splashyhugs pass it on.

Exillium is a neurodivergent metaphor.

Elwin's nonbinary, it's canon now.

Sophie knows about the stallion. She just tries very hard not to think about it, which is fair.

Sophie's accusation that Tiergan lied to her is unfair. He shared way more than he was probably supposed to and when he did lie by omission he did so very badly.

Moral ambiguity!! :D

Oralie is arospec, it's also canon.

The FANCY VACKER ACCENT HOOT HOOT

Keefe hates the idea of making the matchmakers happy, sounds perfectly straight to me.

Fitz has unresolved feelings for Keefe and Keefe is like "hmm I'm wondering who all that romantic tension is meant for." Figure it out dumbass

We will never have enough of Sophie calling Edaline "Mom"

Similarly, we will never have enough of Dadwin.

Ro's still a bitch, but now she's a queer coded bitch.

Keefe got to flip Ro off! Slay.

Biana runs laps every morning hmmgngggjdlkf I am gay

Solreef family angst potential regarding Glimmer + Wylie kidnapped by Neverseen ???

Glimmer and Biana were definitely flirting with one another.

Tiergan has officially joined Grady in the protective anxious father squad <3

I think Keefe and Grady should bond over having a power that allows them to manipulate others and makes them fear themselves. As a treat.

Hi!!! First of all: I adore your content! You're a primary reason as to why I love the sambucky fandom so much.✨💛✨ I saw this video essay on two characters from the fast and furious franchise that are queer coded and much of the subtext shares similarities with subtext in tfatws! I wanted to share it with you and hear your opinions on it, especially considering the film is heavily action based and shares a buddy cop dynamic almost. https://youtu.be/l2PqynUel2E 💛 (Warning: slight discussions of nsfw themes)

Hi!!!! Oh noooo, Thank you so much for saying you like my content, it's so nice of you I'm so touched and you have no idea how much words like these mean to me💛💛💛!

Ok let's do this!

So, first of all, I apologize for taking this long to reply, I needed to find some time to watch the video first.

Here’s the link:

I really liked the video because it was well-explained and even someone who hasn't seen the movie or has forgotten it can understand the plot, and the conclusion was good too! Someone should defintely do a similar video for Sambucky!

I have seen the first Fast & Furious movie but there are so many movies in the franchise that after that I don't remember which one I saw or not, and even though I did I don't even remember the plot. So I'm not sure I ever saw this one, but if I did I don't even remember it.

All I know is that I never got any vibes of their being more than a platonic relationship between the lead characters in any of the movies I saw. That's the reason why I'm always confused by the "why can't men just be friends for once", because what do you mean for once? It's all there ever is. It's like "Why does everything have to be gay"?? Hmm last time I checked there hasn't been any lead LGBT character in any major Blockbuster movie so,... Anyway I'm derailing. What I meant was, to me, the relationship betweent the leads in the Fast and Furioius movies has always been platonic friendship.

But this video did made me change my mind a bit about these two.

So what I'll do is that I'll compare it with Sambucky and what's similar or different between their relationship and Brian (Paul Walker) and Roman (my high school sweetheart Tyrese).

In the video I see several parrallels to Sam and Bucky's story, the buddy cop dynamic, the animosity and angst over some shared history and resolved issues, then coming to terms with their issues and let me tell you the tension between the 2 characters.

And excuse me but that fighting scene:

I don’t watch a lot of fights but do guys really fight like that because, mark me down as interested to see more.

I don’t know about real life, but in movies, the fight usually aren’t this... hmm how to say this? Intense?

Similarities with Sambucky:

- Exes vibes: When we meet the two characters, they’re hostile towards each other, and even beging a fight, where they end up on top of each other, does that ring any bells? Roman is mad at Brian because he blames him for ending up in prison, and you can tell from their interactions that there are a lot of unresolved history between the 2 of them.

- Jealousy: The way Roman gets jealous at another woman talking to Brian, definitely reminds me of Bucky’s animosity towards Sharon when she compliments Sam’s suit.

- The villain: Acting as if he catches the romantic relationship between the main characters.

- Heart to heart talk: The two characters have a heart to heart talk about whatever feud they had going on, and Roman has been blaming Brian for how he ended up in prison, and finally, during a heart to heart talk, they both end up opening up to each other and explaining what went wrong. We even get a “It wasn’t your fault”, like in the FATWS.

- Sunset scene: Their heart to heart talk conviently happens during a sunset 

All of this to say that the Youtuber makes some great points, and I can really understand why he sees the relationship between Brian and Roman as romantic, and he sees is as the relationship between 2 exes even if they don't end up together.

Differences with Sambucky:

The Love Interest: 

One of the differences I see between the two, is that Brian has an official female love interest and they even kiss, whereas there is no kiss scene in TFATWS. 

And although Bucky has a potential love interest in Sarah, Sam has absolutely no love interest throughout the show, except Bucky. His relationship with Sharon, seems platonic for now ( it might change in the future), but they didn’t hint at any kind of romance or flirting between the two. And I would even say that if you look at the definition of a love interest, Bucky ticks all the boxes in episode 5 and in episode 6.

In this story, Brian ends up with the love interest (Eva Mendes), so Roman and Brian stay at the status of exes, who have resolved their issues and are able to stay friends and move on. The Youtuber’s interpretetion of how we have two bisexual characters who are indeed exes, because the subtext also indicates to some tension between the two characters and also some heavy history between the two of them.

The subtext:

In my opinion, there is harldly any subtext in TFATWS, the scenes are there, it’s text, not interpretation, or ambiguous, but something we see onscreen.

To me, the only reason people see the text in TFATWS as subtext is because Sam and Bucky are two men and not a man and a woman.

The reason I’m saying this is because:

- The moment we meet them together, they have animosity towards each other, but you can also tell that the have some shared history, which is confirmed when Bucky’s therapist says that Bucky hasn’t been replying to Sam’s text, that she has hurt a lot about Sam, doesn’t seem surprised to see Sam, and upon seeing Sam, the therapist says that even though it’s unprofessionnal the only way to solve Bucky’s issue is to put them in couples’ therapy together. 

She even says during the therapy session: This is an exercise for couples, who want to know what kind of life they want to build together. 

Where is the “sub” in that? it’s text. 

- “You broke the law, for me, I’m asking you to do it again”. Regardless of the fact that this wasn’t how it happened in CACW. This is a typical romantic line in action movies. If Sam or Bucky were a woman, the romantic nature of that line.

And if we take the line as true, like we’re supposed to, it means that somehow Bucky thinks that all the things Sam did in Civil War were for him.

- I don’t want to make it weird with your family: Another line usually used in romantic comedies.

- The whole set up of one character going to the other character’s hometown==>romantic.

-The boat scene. That scene to me isn’t subtext, you do not put a scene of two characters just looking at each other like that, and then add romantic soft music, and choose that lighting, accidentally. 

- The ending scene, with them looking at each other and then walking away holding each other.

It’s NOT subtext, it’s just that they didn’t kiss at the end, but not all romantic stories include a kiss (There are several Avengers solo movies where there isn’t a kiss between the love interests, Peter Gamora, WandaVision in CACW, Tony Pepper).

At this point, it is easier to read Sam and Bucky as exes who worked out their stuff and became friends again. Maybe they are not a couple and not together, but the romantic nature of their relationship is obvious to me.

There is no universe in which people would watch the exact same scenes between Sam and Bucky and say that they were platonic if one of them were a woman.

I would have to (re-)watch the Fast and Furious movie to be sure, but from the video, I agree with the reading of the Youtuber and his conclusion: exes who became friends. But in my opinion, it is not as obvious as with Sambucky.
