#(would he be comphet? in a technical sense I suppose.)

I love secretly closeted Steve Harrington. I love when he knows himself, knows the truth of his identity, knows that how he views men isn't a fluke. I love secretly closeted Steve Harrington who dates girls and has sex with girls to protect himself, to keep an image, to try and earn an ounce of recognition and respect from his dad.

I love secretly closeted Steve Harrington who recognizes Robin's bravery when she came out. But he keeps his secret to himself for a while longer. Who joins in on the joke of just how bad he is at pulling girls. Who upholds an image as just that, an image.

A secretly closeted Steve who gets frustrated at the projection painted onto him. Steve Harrington the ladies' man. Steve Harrington who gets the girl. Steve Harrington who can get into bed with any girl he wants. He's frustrated and he hates all the assumptions, but he can't shake them, can't explain why—not without revealing himself. But he knows who he is. Knows the type of person he wants.

I love when he's nervous, but still proud. Who, slowly and surely, cements his identity within himself—so it transcends knowledge, it's deeply intertwined within. He goes to Robin first, because he feels as though that's a good first baby step—because he knows for certain that Robin will accept him. And, with minor hesitance, goes to Nancy. And with a long conversation, some tissues, and gentle smiles passed back and forth, Nancy then understands, too.

The last person is Eddie. Which is harder. Which frustrates him further. Because Eddie won't stop asking him about women, won't stop categorizing him as straight, some god among men. He just wants to be Steve Harrington. Not Steve Harrington. Not ladies man, Steve Harrington.

Steve Harrington who likes men. Only men. Who compensated for years just so he can uphold a safe life for himself, who was threatened constantly (though not directly at him) by what his dad would say about those queers, who covered for himself the only way he knew how.

And though it takes longer, some deep wounds and harsh words about how he isn't experimenting, that his sexuality can't just be decided for him, that he has a right to explore—even if the exploration never amounted to anything—Steve is able to get Eddie's trust. Eventually, again slowly, get Eddie's hand intertwined with his. And even later after that, a shy kiss; his first kiss with a man that aids in solidifying the last, hairline fracture in his whole.

Steve Harrington who is gay and learns over time to be proud of that. But also, closeted Steve Harrington who goes on the journey to get to the end result—I love him so so so much and he means so much to me. And now I need to write him and make this version a reality.

(In response to the tags) Fair enough I technically watched it in Hindi but, I quickly was in the English speaking part of the community but, I just lurked mostly. Also if you couldn’t tell yes Tobias is actually on my kin list:

Anyways wait wait a minute actually first one cus it was mentioned in those tag but, while we technically don’t know what he is, which fits Tobias cus Tobias doesn’t really know who he is in this world so he metaphorically and literally doesn’t know, a really common hc is Tobias is a puppy. I usually lend towards Pomeranian. Drew this a while back lol

I think this is a really good one cus it actually would make the most sense character wise if he supposed to be a definitive object/animal. Him and Gumball have this friendly rivalry thing going on. A popular thing in media is to make a cat character’s rival a dog character and vis versa. Honestly I think it was a big missed opportunity to not make him a puppy.

Most of my non void related stuff tho are like family stuff. There this:

Also since we were talking about Sarah and Tobias together (which I’ll be ignoring my general issues with her in canon cus god she actually is genuinely really badly written and has seriously weird implications around her character) I noticed she was the only kid who really genuinely strongly despises Tobias. The other kids usually just didn’t like him or found him annoying. With 3 who seems to care about him as a friend (Banana Joe, Gumball and weirdly enough Bobert as they seemingly made up from The Robot according an episode of the clip show and some background details in later episodes showing them playing together).

However Sarah? She seriously had it out for him. And he’s the only kid she seems to really despise. Nobody else gets this personal and ungodly mad at him like her. The fact she was so willing to beat Tobias’ shit in with a bat in The Test when he’s really not in control of anything happening. That’s crazy to me. My theory for this is well Sarah is canonical a shipper girl who writes fanfics about other characters. She is a joke on fandom culture. So obviously the girl who represents the fandom would also hate the fandom’s least favorite character. Like I mentioned before Tobias was one of the most hated characters back then so you know.

Still the idea she’s kind of low key bullying this random sad little boy is interesting to me. I lowkey wish there was more fan stuff that explored their dynamic a bit. Kind of like how I wish the show didn’t really flip flop all over the place with Sarah and just made her an antagonist. Lord forbid the show could have used an Elmore Junior High classmate character who was antagonistic and not sympathetic at all.

Anyways another thing um I noticed Tobias lowkey got oppressed boy kisser energy. The Slap definitely showing he kind of got some boykisser vibes lol. I think he’s bi yet have a few Gumbro friends who think he’s actually really gay and just compheting really hard cus of influences from his dad. I mean I think either fits I just prefer bi Tobias cus I want to believe his flirting is genuine and he did feel something there. I say as someone who’s otp is Tobias X Leslie.

Can't let the gang know I fw Tobias accidentally becoming aware

So i was rewatching htgawm and i think that the fandom interpreted bonnie and annalise wrong heres my hot take there both lesbians in love and were supposed to be canon but pete wasnt allowed to do that

Now i know that annalise is technically canonicly pan is you really look at her with alot of analysis she makes more sense as a lesbian who is suffering from comphet i would also say bonnie has comphet as well

Now i think the first very obviously shown clue that isnt directly about there comphet is when asher asks if bonnie if annalise is a lesbian in love with her and she doesnt deny it! Like they've basically told us from the beginning that shes gay!

But theres other evidence thats analise is a lesbian and that is her choice of men who mostly are unttainble or forbidden love

Nate's a cop shes a lawyer so its forbidden Sam was her therapist so hes unttainble

Honorable mentions

That guy in season six who she kinda likes but pushes him away constantly so he wont be interested

That random man she just stopped having sex with in season six becuase his daughter called him

Its all a bit lesbian esc

Bonnies comphet

Ok so our girl bonnie has alot of trauma and its gets caught up in the way she thinks about her sexuality and she got attachment issues so shes mixes platonic bonds with men as romantic

lets go through the men though

Frank-so I have alot of feeling about frank one being thats hes written to be irredeemable so if you like him your horny for Charlie. Two that hes bonnies narrative beard and if you think thats a stretch remember that bonnie last name is winterbottom which is a gay sex joke

How do we know hes bonnies beard?

Asher one again, comes through with the queercoding and calls frank beardo because frank is supposed to be bonnies beard becuase shes gay

And in season 3 when Frank shaves his beard laurel tells us hes no longer bonnie beard when shes says he doesnt have a beard anymore

Charlie weber said in a interview that is was a battle to get Pete to allow him to shave the beard and or cut it and my thought is that pete decided he'd use it in the story. His beard comes back when he and bonnie start dating agian in season 4 as well

Asher-asher is bonnies intern so its unttainble

Miller-hes bonnies boss so also unattainable

My point heres is that it is comphet

(I will probably do a part two even if no one reads this)

many naruto thoughts head overloading

ok im only like 20 episodes into shippuden and i skipped a Lot of filler in original naruto bc i do not have the patience </3 (i will come back to the filler one day though) and while i love this anime theres so much i wish... was not written how it is

first of all sakura... i love her sm and i just wish her character was given some more care like at this point in shippuden im actually really enjoying the direction shes taken but i heard a lot of her growth is sidelined when sasuke comes back into the picture and thats my biggest issue. im sorry but if youre going to introduce a TRIO of main characters i want to see that main group equally fleshed out. first going all the way back to the beginning i wish that sakura was allowed to fight??? like we KNOW shes super smart and has powerful chakra so even when at that time she wasnt the most skilled fighter (as far as we KNOW at least. given that we barely got to see her fight who knows!) she couldve in the very least played a similar role to that of shikamaru as far as leadership and strategizing. and ok her crush on sasuke should have dissipated a lot more after the chunin exams. even though i do hate to see her spend so much time fawning over sasuke when hes not even particularly kind to her i think a crush in the beginning could still work IF the moment of her cutting her hair (“sasuke likes girls with long hair”) and her battle w ino during the chunin exams were like an eye-opening moment for her when she was like “wtf am i doing i am going to work hard as a ninja to prove that i can do this to MYSELF and MY RIVAL first” (which. ok she does get to this point later and again i love her learning chakra and getting strong as HELL during her training w tsunade but again. i want to see that REMAIN parallel to the enormous power level leaps that sasuke and naruto make. also let sakura and ino have a fun friendship rivalry that has nothing to do w sasuke) . i think it would be better if she naruto and sasuke were just friends who ALL help and motivate each other. and so when sasuke leaves sakura is STILL super fucked up over it and maybe even has a hard time trusting naruto again after he comes back? (but ofc she eventually does bc power of friendship) like IDK loss of one best friend, then almost immediately after your other best friend (who u just learned secretly is sealed w the nine tails and the akatsuki is after him just like orochimaru was after sasuke) leaves you for THREE YEARS??? kind of a salt in the wound moment! also im simply not even going to touch on all the comphet marriages in the end

next im going to talk about rock lee my friend rock lee who i adore. anyways he either should not have foregone the surgery from tsunade or died from it. HEAR ME OUT! this surgery was good in showing how powerful tsunade is as a healer but like? was it necessary? after she brought naruto back to life??? as far as lees characterization his whole thing is that he may not have special jutsu or the same prodigal abilities as his peers but he can still be as powerful or more powerful! and idk i hate when characters have serious life changing stuff done to them and not seeing it fully explored in the story. like ok so we’ve got tsunade telling lee (who cant be older than 12? 13?) theres a 50/50 chance he’ll die in the surgery to heal him. and then guy ENCOURAGES HIM, HIS FAVORITE STUDENT, to go through with the surgery so he could then go on to be a ninja and continue risking his life?????? so i thought that was pretty screwed up. which leads me to the two paths that i think would be interesting to see play out: 1. lee doesnt get the surgery, but continues to train as a ninja. his injuries still exist but lee learns to fight WITH the injuries and creates a really cool badass unique fighting style and goes on to be a great ninja like he dreamed 2. lee dies in surgery. id hate it i would and i dont WANT lee to die but it might be a fuckin wakeup call to all these adult ninjas urging kids into warfare. lee is beloved by all so it would be a good moment of pause for everyone to think like “ummm so the systems that be are kind of majorly fucked up.”

those are the two main ideas i had but heres a few misc things:

-jiraiya can be the author of as many trashy romance novels as he wants but him hitting on younger women and being like a peeping tom and UGH the way he was introduced w narutos ‘sexy jutsu’ is just. not good. take it out.

-let tsunade look her age. like the whole “she uses her chakra to make herself look young”? i dont buy it. i dont care that you just didnt feel like drawing a woman who looks over 20. you will do it anyways bc i said so.

-i dont dislike n/ruhina as much as i dislike s/susaku bc at least its clear theres a mutual respect and admiration there but hinata, like sakura, has so much more potential to be explored. idk if its looked at in filler or later in shippuden (id sure hope so) but i think her parallel to sasuke is kind of interesting? both have intimidating, extremely powerful older brothers (i know neji is technically hinatas cousin or smth but whatever older brother figures. also i know hinatas sister is also supposed to be super powerful but idk her yet) who are held in high esteem by their families and have all this pressure on their shoulders to want to surpass them? given that neji didnt um. do the things itachi did clearly its not the SAME between hinata and sasuke but i feel like examining the hyuga family dynamics would be SO interesting in comparison to sasukes arc. i didnt mind seeing hinata motivated by naruto the first few times but like. there is SO MUCH MORE THERE than JUST hinatas relationship to naruto.

-all of these kids need therapy but ESPECIALLY sasuke like the signs were there. halfway thru the bell test thing SUPER early on sasuke went into a full-fledged “i am an avenger.. i have to kill a certain someone” monologue and given the fact that everyone knows his entire clan was killed and that sasuke is likely VERY traumatized... who thought it was a good idea to let him become a ninja before addressing any of that. my god. like i love kakashi and i know he has his own devestating backstory and that hes a product of the system but why the Fuck would he let sasuke take the chunin exams. give team 7 a year more of training and getting to know each other and give sasuke some time to create bonds and maybe even open up emotionally and begin to heal and then MAYBE we can THINK ab chunin exams.

-asuma and ino apologize to choji for telling him not to eat as much challenge? did asuma not know that chojis clan uses food to replenish their chakra? it would make sense if ino didnt know but chojis teacher?? either way still p fucked, leave choji alone

-speaking of ino i want more of her character tok. why was she not included in that mission to save sasuke that shikamaru, her TEAMMATE, led?? was there an explanation for that?? i feel like her not being there was a missed opportunity for some real growth/bonding between team 10.

-speaking of the last bullet point shikamaru being like “ugh women 🙄” is tired and boring. very misogynistic “i hate my wife” facebook dad humor. cut that shit out

-orochimarus coding and his whole um. intent as a villain is just very. Hm. i dont think i like that very much but im not going to go into it bc im sure its been touched upon a million times
