Their biased reporting on Palestinian genocide put me off pretty much all western news sources, and most anti-imperial news channels I now have access to are very queerphobic unfortunately :/ But then I look at how western queer rights movement has time and again allowed itself to be wielded as a weapon for imperialism, and it reminds me of this particular Palestinian queering the map entry that read:
When I came out as a lesbian and posted it on Twitter, I had some homophobic arab men tag the IDF on my account and say I deserved to be bombed by them. Having grown up in London, I've also been told by some queer people that Palestinians deserve to be bombed because they are less accepting than Isrealis on the lgbt people. Decided to pin this here because it's the place I'm supposed to be in, not in a refugee camp.
And it's true. The bombs dropped in Palestine didn't care about the sexual orientations or gender or age of the civilians. Genocide is an indiscriminate weapon wielded by the imperialists against the indigenous peoples of the global south, and any liberation movement that doesn't ally itself with abolition is going to be bastardized, which is why it's so important to uplift decolonial queer voices from the global south.
Unfortunately these voices are very decentralised, by nature. They don't receive funding from centralized neoliberal / governmental spending. They aren't picked up by mainstream media. They don't resemble each other because they are adaptive to their unique geographies, nationalities, religions, cultures etc. It is a pretty sobering realization for those like me, who had once been sold to an idea about a queer rights movement as a coherent global force, and at times like these I can't help but remember the words of one of my deactivated mutuals who said "I don't believe in a queer community. Makes my life a whole lot easier." Because that's truly what it feels like being queer and from the global south.
all those lgbt protection ngos in second and third world which receive a funding from the collective west and essentially propagandize natolands agenda to destabilize it's local governments not in the based communist way but in neoliberal divide and conquer way were one of the main reasons to the new wave of systematic homophobia in those countries but no one wants to admit it. those orgs are the same tools of spreading imperialism under 'humanitarian' pretence like missionaries were back in the day. this conflation of lgbt movement with wests imperialism had terrible results. lgbt people are made into scapegoats and 'traitors' because 'enemy states' governments noticed big influence those imperialist sponsored prolgbt orgs have on their sexual minority communities. but if you look closely second and third world bigoted homophobic officials and 'progressive' first world lgbt activists act under the same logic. they both ask you to choose one identity and reject/betray the other. you're either lgbt or [enter the usa enemy state nation].

Okay I'm gonna go full conspiracy, but some of y'all are way worse so I'm doing this. Listen up. Will Byers and Mike Wheeler are fictional characters. Meaning, that everything they do, everything they think and yes, everything they feel has a purpose. So let's look at the facts as they are. Mike couldn't tell El that he loves her, and Will is in love with Mike. Right off the bat, with Will, this fact could lead to two things:
Mike is also in love with Will, and there will be a love triangle with Mike in the middle.
Mike is not in love with Will, and Will will either end up alone, or die, or find another queer boy to love.
With scenario 1, everything is fine. But although on paper, scenario 2 makes sense, we should take into account that everything that Will feels is a carefully thought out decision.
Let's remember the themes and the message of Stranger Things. This show is about the freaks of society, the losers, the outcasts. How people may l give them the side eye, but they have each other. And they'll stand by each other no matter what. So, how does this relate to Will and Mike? Will is a gay boy in the 80s, which not only makes him an outcast, but an outright freak in the eyes of the public. It would go against Stranger Things' message to write a freak trying to find love in his best friend, the one who's supposed to be by his side forever, and having him rejected. In real life, this would not be a problem. If someone is straight, they're straight. But in fiction, the sexuality and or love interest of a character is again, a choice with ramification on the quality of the story. And writing Will, a "freak", having his heart broken by someone who he considered another freak, when you're telling a story about how freaks empower each other by sticking together, is not a smart writing decision.
(There is also the matter of the van scene, where Will's supposedly unrequited feelings are being used to repair El and Mike's relationship, as Will cries over not being able to be with Mike. In other words, if Mike isn't in love with Will, the outcast's suffering is used to fix what's more socially acceptable. Do you see the problem? I don't know how many times I'm going to repeat myself in this post, and I hope it's not getting annoying, but I need to make this as crystal clear as possible: Fiction is not real life. In real life, a gay boy could use some words of affirmation regardless of how they feel, it's just being nice. But in fiction, you have a job to do. You have a story to tell. You have a message you want to put out into the world. And this scene is not compatible with the message).
But let's look at Mike. In season 4, El confronts Mike about him not telling her that he loves her. And throughout that whole scene, not even once, does he just say that he loves her. In the end he does, but the reason as to why he stopped saying it, or why he didn't say it when she confronted him, is never explained. In real life, it's okay if Mike wants to deal with whatever he feels and the reasons behind it with himself. But this is not real life, this was deliberately written to be understood by an audience. It was written to serve a purpose. Mike not being able to tell El that he loves her was a serious conflict in season 4, and the cause behind it is left unknown. This is bad writing, plain and simple. Unless, there is some other factor we are not yet aware of. Unless, he could possibly have feelings for someone else. Maybe that someone is Will.
With that theory in mind, remember when Will and Mike met after a long time of not seeing each other? Will was gonna hug Mike, but Mike just went for a fist bump. There was a very awkward atmosphere in that moment. Why would there be? Once again, I'm not talking about real life. In real life, it could just be awkward because they haven't talked to each other in a while and Mike needs time to adjust. But this is fiction. Every emotion has a purpose, every bit leads to something. And so far, it led to nothing. There was just one awkward moment, with no explanation, and it's never brought up again. There is no reason for it to be there. It's common knowledge that unnecessary story bits shouldn't make it to the final cut. If this wouldn't be expanded upon in some way, it'd be bad writing. It wouldn't be the worst thing to ever happen, but combined with him not being able to tell El that he loves her, it's all very confusing to say the least. But the story is not over, and maybe, all will be explained. And just maybe, that awkwardness could be described as tension between the two. Maybe Mike is in love with Will. That would be the most logical explanation.

sorry for the random vent, but this whole transandrophobia discussion is making me so sad. or more ike.. the reaction to it.
Like... the trans people I know irl (be it transmasc, transfem, nonbinary, something else...) are AWESOME. Supportive and kind, a community. Yet, for some reason, on tumblr there's such animosity?? Over transmascs wanting to talk about their oppression?? And sure, some of that is probably terfs wanting to break us apart, but i dont think that's all it is. And I just... why do we get called horrible things, like transmisogynist, antifeminist, MRA, for that? I've had literal trans guys tell me they hate all trans men that talk about transandrophobia, because it's a "dog whistle" for hating trans women? When it's literally not?? like. i feel like i'm going a bit insane. I get told absolute vile things that "transadrobros" are apparently saying, but i never seem to witness it first hand. the reaction to a bunch of people talking about their own oppression is literally making me feel gaslighted about what is, and isn't being said.
Why can't online spaces be more like irl? Why can't we lift each other up, protect each other, listen? I hope it will be like that again. But NOT by silencing trans mens struggles, villifying them and sweeping everything under the rug. But at this point, i fear that's where it's heading. Idk if it's the majority of the trans community thinking like this, or if their voices are just very loud, but it's making me feel alone.
it's great to hear you have good irl spaces like that, that's awesome. and i've had the same experience irl as well, as people im extremely close to online.
i agree so hard. i dont understand why people who say transandrobro aren't being called out on it. i don't understand why people who start misgendering trans men and mascs when they don't agree with them don't get called out on it. i don't get why people who shit on intersex trans people don't get called out on it. i don't get why people who are awful to nonbinary, genderqueer, gnc and other gender variant people and don't get called out on it. it's awful.
being called an mra hatefully is so exhausting. why do people think thats a bad thing in this context. trans men are treated like shit. ive seen people freak out over the word transmisandry. it doesn't matter what it's called, it's real. people in the queer community are treating masc queer people like shit. people do it outside too but people are doing it inside rn. people are not allowing queer masculine people to talk about anything right now and it just sucks
transmascs get called terfs constantly despite being trans men. they get called transmisogynists. it's so hard to criticize anything transfeminine people do without getting attacked. it's so hard to address transandrophobia inside of queer spaces without getting attacked. it's so hard to point out that everyone has internalized bigotry to let go of no matter what without getting attacked. it sucks
people take the pain cishet patriarchy has caused them and take it out on trans men and mascs instead of the establishment that holds them down. it sucks. the fact that transmascs legitimately just cant dole out criticism anymore without getting called a slew of awful names is just. come on. people tell trans men to die every day. people tell trans men they're confused girls every day. i always get misgendered when somene disagrees with me. people always treat me like i'm an unreliable narrator for being a hysterical cis woman who wants to be special
it sucks. im sorry you go through this too. people are so hostile right now its getting to be not worth it

*constantly talking about how stupid and selfish "TRFs" are* *contantly implying you understand gender better than most other trans women* *contantly harassing and insulting random people making posts* oh my god thank you for all the love! this is such a kind and accepting space 🤢
I mean yeah I am constantly excessively kind and patient when people aren't just saying "fuck trans men, those stupid bitchcunt vulva-havers for thinking they don't have it easy." This is extremely consistant in all my interactions. The few times when I was snappy at someone who didn't earn it I've directly apologized without prompting.
Recently someone who really badly wanted to be my friend and kept offering to hang out on Discord because she thought I was "lonely" got really dramatically upset because I blocked her after she defended misgendering trans men, describing this as me being a "single issue voter" because we disagreed about "one thing" and honestly that was hilarious. Truly wild behavior.
Like if you aren't going out of your way to be absurdly cruel to other people, yes, this blog is a place of love, and polite, reasonable engagement. If you've not had that experience, consider asking yourself why. And again, if any TRF, even one of the mega-popular ones I've ground my teeth over, wanted to say they were sorry for the rhetoric they've encouraged and personally thrown at others, I would support them. I would throw my weight entirely behind the effort to give them full amnesty for the many, many horrible things they've done and said.
Gotta say though, I'm not sure what's wrong with the accusation I think I understand gender better than some other trans women. Presumably if you put me and whoever you favorite TRF is in a room together, you would say one of us understands gender better than the other, right? I think I have a far more reality-based view than someone who thinks every Pastor Billy Bob who hates queers secretly agrees with us being women, and I'm pretty sure that's actually the majority opinion among trans women because I have a fairly high opinion of trans women as a demographic and it would be insulting towards them to even suspect otherwise.

It's been a while but I do want to address this, because forgive me if I'm misinterpreting this, but let me ask you something: I'm transmasc. (Genderfluid with a masc lean). I don't bring this up often here, but I grew up in a misogynistic cult, where i was taught the most rancid aspects of purity culture and had my autonomy taken away from me for roughly 20 years. I didn't get to cut my hair or wear pants for the first time until about 2 years ago. Even now, regardless of if i bind or cut my hair extra short or wear masc clothes, I don't pass as a man. Queer, but not a man. Most transmascs I've met also don't pass as cis, hrt and surgery are pretty damn hard to get in this economy. Some of them don't even care about passing! It's a very individual thing.
Tell me- How have I, by being masc, benefitted from the patriarchy? How am I privileged for being male?When I'm a man, what do I get out of it?
A non-conclusive list of people that I wouldn't say get the full extent of "male privilege" and/or "protection from consequences":
Transmascs who don't pass
Gay men who don't align with cultural expectations of masculinity
Poc whose culture or expression doesn't align with white standards of masculinity
Transmascs who pass but grew up being viewed/treated as women
Transmascs whose identity is fluid or nuanced (bigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, nonbinary men, etc.) And not limited to one part of the binary
Gnc men
Masc lesbians
Fat men
Intersex men
Trans women who pass as male but haven't come out yet
Anyone with more than one the above identities that overlap with eachother
Do some of them still get some amount of privilege? Sure, maybe. I'm not denying that male privilege exists! I've experienced the worst parts of the patriarchy firsthand! But when you assume that all provilege is equally applicable, and that all privileged individuals have yet to challenge or confront their privilege, that all of them are simply terrible or stupid or dangerous without exception.... not only are you, again, reinforcing the binary in a way that's harmful, as I've already explained; you're excluding a massive part of the queer community, and you're refusing a space for victims of the patriarchy to discuss what they've gone through or bring solidarity to the cause. Men can be victims of this shit too. A lot of men go through relentless harassment and assault for being men """wrong""", and they deserve a place in our community too. They don't deserve to be lumped in with their harassers and assaulters or excluded purely on the basis of "men are icky".
I understand if someone personally doesn't want to interact with men due to their own personal trauma, but framing the idea of gender seperationism as morally correct or proclaiming yourself a "proud misandrist" like the people I originally referred to often do, is an entirely different issue and should be called out when we see it.
Hey I'm just gonna say it. A lot of you in the sapphic community have "terfs dni" in your bio while repeating terf rhetoric that keeps trans men in the closet and bi women ashamed. And you need to reflect on that.
There is no "men are inherently biologically bad" argument you can make that doesn't lend itself to terf rhetoric and misogyny. Adding a "but like, trans girls don't count ☆" or "except the gays ♡" or "except my transmasc boyfriend [I'm going to subtly or unsubtly imply he doesn't count as a real man whether I realize it or not]" does not suddenly make it a progressive argument. [Especially you fuckers who adapt it to mean "actually all trans women are good and pure and innocent and all trans men are dirty evil misogynists just like cis men". You are doing active damage to the trans community. You are not an ally. You're doing toxic gender roles. Fuck off.]
Bioessentialism will never serve the queer community. I don't care if you make minor adaptations to it to make it seem nicer and less bigoted. It will always serve to harm trans people, divide people into a binary, and maintain misogynistic ideas that men are inherently evil and therefore can't be held responsible for their actions, that women have to take the responsibility for "protecting themselves" instead of believing that men can and should change so that no one needs protecting.
It's a lack of belief in feminism's ability to meaningfully change or solve anything and I'm tired of everyone acting like it's not.
#and to respond to “it's socialization/power structure not biology”#correct but that doesn't mitigate the fact that these arguments lend themselves to bioessentialism#which was the entire point i was making in the first place#you don't have to be a terf to accidentally parrot terf rhetoric#you don't have to be a bioessentialist to repeat bioessentialist rhetoric#hell this constant framing of women as weak and powerless against the big strong evil men even overlaps with racism#a lot of this association between femininity and fragility and the idea that they need to be protected at all costs was weaponized heavily#by segregationists who wanted to convince you that black men were predatory and dangerous#that part gets left out a lot! but it's important to the history of this kind of rhetoric#women aren't pure little flowers who need protecting and men have control over their actions. by painting them all with the same brush#regardless of if that brush is “men are biologically bad” or “men are all brainwashed into being bad”#removes accountability from them for their own actions and places the responsibility onto women to segregate themselves#and leaves anyone outside of that narrow binary extremely hurt no matter how you slice it

hiii! i want to say one thing and then ask another. first, i just absolutely love your blog and your theories, i think they are very enlightening about the beatles and their dynamics (specially about paul, john as individuals and The Mclennon story™️). and second, i was curious, stalking your blog when i saw "john fighting more internalized homophobia than paul", and i will be so happy if you can explain for the majority of the people! :-) obviously if you can and you want lol.
aaaah yeah to me it just reads that way. ik paul has made Comments about not being gay (though most of these minus like one are from the 80s/90s and the most Recent one was bc the interviewer was being disrespectful as fuck honestly) but like as far as their personal lives go aside from like. paul with his pr mask on. I think john had a lottttt more going on there than him. like there's this sort of idea that if paul Is queer, then he's more repressed and more homophobic than john and idk about all that but I do certainly think john just was extremely repressed and extremely angry about it.
notttt pulling receipts on this btw bc I'm at work and it's not that serious just me rambling but if anyone wants to look this stuff up the sources are around I just can't be fucked rn but.
like paul has never gotten violent about it. but there's Many stories about john getting violent over being called gay/assumed to be gay, and not just when he was younger. like ofc there's the infamous bob wooler incident, but there's also the story about him punching a guy in the crowd around the same time for saying the same thing while he was on stage. and there's the story about him kissing a guy & headbutting him in the 70s. he also made a Ton of homophobic remarks on and off through the 70s (although tbf they Were after the mess of primal scream therapy so he was obviously dealing with whatever that brought up) like talking about "fags" derogatorily or like the whole calling paul gay for wanting to meet w him one on one without linda and yoko.
and I think obviously there's like many complexities in that man bc the 70s is Also full of shit like rumors about him fucking a prostitute w david bowie & then fucking david bowie, or the "john lennon's guide to bisexual gardening", or him trying to spread rumors that he Was gay, or that interview where he says he's never fucked a man but he's planning on it when he's 40 etc..... but I think he very much Did oscillate between leaning into it for shock value and then getting angry/scared when he was taken seriously about it
paul just to me seems a lot more settled about it. a lot of his comments are that john wasn't gay (which is interesting to Say The Least) and when he would get defensive about his own sexuality it's like. it's a lot more chill lmao and also just kind of tongue in cheek to me (again the female hordes). even if it's Not tongue in cheek, it's still just way more relaxed. like john he also had no issue hanging around queer people and being in queer spaces, but it doesn't seem like he ever got defensive about it in the same way and in fact seemed to sort of thrive off of being in those spaces and getting that kind of attention.
so like ultimately just as like a thought experiment if anything Did happen between the two of them, I think paul would have been a bit more calm about it than john. I can see him treating it as more of a "yeah alright this is a thing I like and thing I do it doesn't mean anything I'm not Gay I still Like women but this is fun and exciting and I love the attention" rather than john who I feel would just dig himself into a well of self-loathing so deep he can't see the sun anymore, while still compartamentalizing it to be able to participate in those acts without thinking of himself as Queer.

jesus christ im so fucking tired of people hating on jean vicquemare for literally no reason... pardon me bc im gonna go on a rant about this
he's quite literally one of THE most important characters to the story, he's the bridge between current harry and harry before he drank the amnesia potion, having been one of the closest people to harry for at LEAST two years... y'all r always saying "b-but he only has 10 minutes of screen time!!! how can he be important?" as if the damn game wouldn't have even happened if the necromancer wasn't there, and he's there for even LESS time than jean 😭
so like, excuse me for being fucking interested in what's going on between him and harry I guess??? there's just enough vaguely hinted in the game to be interested in what's going on there, like in EDC passives that show him at the radiant conglomerate of magic talking to the other witches about harry, the stuff you can talk to him about in-person when he's wildshaped outside the cottage,,,, he's literally just. A Sad Man. who cares about his partner. you guys will find literally any reason to hate on him lmfao. also I'm sorry but he's more interesting to me than the tarot card maker and the cat's owner and literally everyone else you guys keep going on about lmfao, sorry I forgot their names that's how much I literally do not gaf about them
alsooo like. ppl are always going on abt what he does and calling him a bad person for it, but like . everything he does is completely fucking reasonable for his situation???
if I was just trying to help my best friend be a better person and he fucking turned around and BROKE my favourite cauldron over it in front of our whole club and (basically) told all of us to screw off?? after two YEARS of what is practically psychological abuse??? i think i'd snap and leave him there as well. it's not HIS fault harry chose to break his broom and his spellbook and trade his wand for the potion. they're both grownass men lmfao. you guys would say "prioritise your mental health!!!" if this was happening IRL but i guess it's different here.
and YES he CAN leave harry behind in the alps AGAIN if kim gets turned into a frog in the tribunal. but like. if we're going by theoretical scenarios. then wouldn't that make harry a bad person too? you can call kim a big nerd and make him really upset if you fail the cottage check, be hostile to the hardie familiars for literally no reason, you can STEAL THE FIVE GUARDIAN GEMS FROM THE CAT... but y'all aren't ready for that conversation I guess lmfao. also see it from jean's perspective too, if my slacker partner said he'd found the culprit who put the cat in the tree and it was the last necromancer left in the alps and the pheromones from the only known magic-less man who came from a different fucking world made him do it I probably wouldn't believe him either lol
btw he's the only queercoded character in the game (yes i know about Judit, you can be queer and in a straight relationship ffs) so y'all are just finding reasons to be homophobic lmfaoooooo 😐
my pookieee <3

Even INI noticed that Takumi and Yudai's hug scene was a little bit "🤨🏳️🌈?" and to be honest i'm glad I'm not the only one...
#👁️👄👁️#Yes two men can hug without it being romantic! It can be platonic! Don't get me wrong!#But the scene itself had romantic connotation because of their facial expressions.

Takumi is literally in a drama and Yudai was great playing that sassy princess!#Also... I have to say it 👀#Some small details in the MV seem to talk about LGBTQ+ rights and Pride Parade...#Again!!!

ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story
#you know. the one with the pendulum#'hey. why are you as an allo person shipping this aspec character like this'#'oh aspec people can still date/have sex!'#'yeah. now can you answer the question that i actually asked you'#like goddamn just say you don't care they're aspec and you want to fulfill a sexual/romantic fantasy with them. that's Fine#it like. sucks. for sure. lotta aspec people will be unhappy with you. but everyone is entitled to their own wants and experiences.#but i'd prefer you just be honest with it rather than using our community's conversation points as retroactive justification#and ONCE AGAIN. you guys are real fucking cavalier with this shit and it shows a real fundamental lack of respect for aspecs#when most of you would NEVER ship a canonically gay character with the 'other' gender. cause again. it would suck.#you can do it. nobody's Stopping you. but it would suck.#and we understand that putting a queer character in situations that erase that queerness is shitty! until it comes to aspec characters!#and whoa... there it is again... people don't consider aspec identities to be queer... crazy how it always comes back to that#anyway. you all know what i'm talking about. have seen many posts about this lately#it is [ long sigh ] unfortunately a very hot button issue with the advent lately of alastor hazbinhotel#which. again. god i wish there were other canon aspec characters to be having this conversation about.#but we'll have to do our best with what we have#aromantic#aromanticism#arospec#aroace#talking#aspec#asexual#asexuality

absolutely insane that mike literally p a n i c k e d when will was like "well what about us?" because will wasn't even really making things gay he was honest to god just inquiring about the state of their estranged friendship and wondering why mike didn't make time to talk to him when they're supposed to be best friends but MIKE was the one having an aneurysm like "🏳️🌈⁉️ W H AT!!"
“WE'RE FRIENDS” “i know mike” “WE'RE!!! F R I E N D S!!” “right so why don't you call me — ” “I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND” “… that in no way answers my question"
#stranger things#byler#queer mike wheeler#mike acts gayer in this scene than will who is canonically gay is all i'm saying#and while we're at it...#what the fuck is the “it's not my fault you don't like girls” scene#the way mike is visibly devastated after will's like “yeah i did think we'd just hang out in your basement forever and it would be enough”#maybe because he realised he was forcing himself not to also feel like it was enough me thinks??? he was trying to be “normal”?#and then he immediately feels guilty and bikes in the goddamn rain to apologise like bitch what is this shit? the notebook?#meanwhile his girlfriend is fully mad at him and he's laying around eating chips and burping and laughing and complaining about women#and doing nothing to apologise to her LMAO????#mike wheeler what are you doing king. the people want to know#anyway i'm once again deep in my queer mike theorising#don't let me down duffers i s2g#eve text

I know I've said it before, but I think this upcoming episode is going to be so interesting, even if we don't get Queer Eddie OR BT Bones (neither of which I'm fully convinced are going to happen on Thursday), & it's really for this one interesting phrase that Ryan & Oliver have both used.
They have both mentioned "rose-colored glasses" when it comes to Tommy & Shannon, and I would argue that they each have to reckon with these relationships before we can have any movement towards Buddie.
Eddie thinks that Shannon was the love of his life, that he failed her and has to carry that guilt with him for the rest of his life. I believe that Eddie placing Shannon on a pedestal is partially what's stopping him from realizing his queerness (along with the catholic guilt and repression, but a lot of that is also tied up in Shannon & their failed marriage.)
Buck's convinced that his big feelings last season were all about Tommy, and I'm not saying that some of them weren't, but I don't think it'd be too far of a stretch to say that he figures that he's in this relationship now and that obviously everything is fine now. He figured out this part of himself and he's dating a man and that means everything is Fine and he absolutely does not need to do any further digging or searching or learning, despite the fact that he and Tommy don't really seem to like each other all that much, nor do they seem to be all that compatible.
Buck has to reckon with the fact that realizing his bisexuality and immediately jumping into a relationship with a man that he wasn't even sure he wanted (his speech at the coffee date) might not be the solution to all the problems he's had, and Eddie has to deal with the fact that Shannon was not perfect, that what she did was not the same as what he did, that she's responsible for her own actions and that this romanticized vision he has clung to of their lives is not real and is not consistent with the actual relationship that they had.
There's a Divorce Arc this episode - which I'm begging does something with Eddie - and an uncomfortable truth learned about Tommy's past; it's not completely out of left field to assume that the Rose-Colored Glasses come off this episode.
And the fact that it's happening for them BOTH, at the same time? In the relationships that I think are the biggest obstacles to them realizing/accepting their feelings for each other???
I'm never fully convinced they're actually going to go there with these 2, but it will be SO interesting to see how this episode plays out, regardless.
#911 abc#eddie diaz#evan buckley#buddie#anti bucktommy#anti tommy kinard#anti bt#this is like the least haterish thing I've ever said about BT but I'm tagging it anti anyway I cannot handle being yelled at lol#911 speculation#8x06 speculation#buck x eddie#i think facing the Shannon of it all will lead to getting Chris back & then realizing he's queer so we're so close!#I think we are really getting into the Queer Eddie arc#I just don't think it's coming at us next episode#I'm more than happy to be wrong tho#if we get Gay Eddie & BT Bones both nex episode I will be ECSTATIC#literally never seen a happier girl than me on thursday night lol#They're going to have to face these relationships anyway so that's not really a surprise#but them both doing it at the same time??? & then having a moment of silently supporting each other bc their mere presence is enough??#at the end of an episode that seems to be all about calling back the past?#“baby in a pipe”/kid down a well“/divorce/s1 plot#it's all just so incredibly interesting to me#I can't remember if I've made a post about this before or not but I'm saying it again 😤

Unsichtbar (wie meine reactions bis man auf mehr lesen tippt haha)
Naw thw eww "da ist Zucker drin das ist deiner" ein Kaffee date?!
Warum ist karin nicht da fr
Au genau auf die Nase... (she has a cute nose btw)
Warum macht wer fotos von karin?! I don't like that and what is this mystery gift...(iat das der usb Stick? Ich hab auch tumblr mal irgendwo was von nem USB gelesen) Ok it is... ja irgendeinem Random USB würd ich auch definitiv nicht einfach in mein PC stecken...
Was macht ihr sohn denn bitte?!
Hi Mia (schauspielering von druck) ew tote ratte ist kein gutes zeichen...
Scheiße du bist noch da 💀💀💀 well das wird kein gutes gespräch... and it wasn't... 63 💀
What the fuck... Dresden hats aber auch mit dem dramatischen...
Was guckt karin sich den an ah lol nvm sie lässt ihre aggressionen raus... yoga bahahaha
Liar karin is asking liar who lies lmao cute da Leo das weiß und nachfragt tho
macht leo die befragung weil sie ruhiger ist als leo?!
Warum ist karin im mrt?! Das war dann fassungloseste "Wieso?" Das ich je gehört habe...
Naw Leo ist so süß wie sie nicht locker lässt
Zufällig? Ich denke nicht
I'm so weak for leos eyes..
Gute intuition
Shut up schnabel der Typ ist ganz cute (and i say that as a lesbian)
Uh Karin has another episode... Leo sieht so worried aus i- ja karin geh nach hause... Nein nicht alle aufeinmal that doesn't seem like a good idea...
Not another USB - oh ne affäre...
Wat macht karin and who tf is that gut aufm video
Wtf ist dieser anruf?!
Naww der leo/karin anruf ist aber actually quite cute 🥺 die sind so soft miteinander
Der eine hat seinen kittel nicht zu... that's not how you do it
What you up to karin..I don't think die blumen sind actually von den kollegen...
Ok leo telling schnabel well about time ngl
Eww wtf is the ex doing...
Karin is not feeling well...
"WO IST DENN DIE GORNIAK" episode 30179832 (gefühlt)
Leo catching karin i-
"Du am boden da lass ich mir nicht entgehen" ok son
Die sus ass frau
Not karin asking her son sie aus dem Krankenhaus zu bringen...
"Yoga alles klar" lmao "wegen job oder mir" oh
Naw aber sie reden miteinander haha
KARIN CRYING?! Damn
Son asking the important questions
"Hab mich selbst entlassen" we know karin we know...
No karin how about you stay in bed
Trinkspielidee: take a shot every time karin lies

Autsch autsch... ok got it du spürst nichtsmehr
Knew leo wouldn't listen... not leo literally begging karin to come with her
Well mehr therapy für karin bitte...
Naja this time leo at least visits her
Girl why unwatching that video again...
Karin in flannel that's a queer woman ur honour...
I gave in (saw hot badass women on my dash and comments on the new tatort dresden) and watched the new tatort dresden... and the first Leo und Karin episode, and the second... 4.5 h well spent i think ahaha
So here are my general thoughts
- Schnabel is fucking insufferable like Idk if he's actually this insufferable or if I just hate old white men
- der alte winkler ist ja mal mega unsympathetisch und scheint n arsch zu sein
- Karin is a badass but therapy könnte durchaus hilfreich sein
-Leo's eyes are mesmerising and she's gorgeous I did smell the mild daddy issues von dem ersten Gespräch in dem creepy ass Haus an tho
Wie Leo Karin von Anfang an anstarrt tho... und dieser long ass arm grab in der asservatenkammer beim ersten Gespräch nachdem karin wieder da ist...
Naja general thoughts reichen nicht also meinungen zu den einzelnen:
Herz der Dunkelheit, ich verstehe warum alle so mad über den exit sind, wdym sie spricht das nur auf ne mailbox... die teenagers auch ganz wild und auf jeden Fall auch interessante queer rep like okay cute but wdym die haben/hatten da fast alle was miteinander... naja i did not care about the Paul dude at all he was annoying...
Das Nest war auch echt creepy ngl ich war noch nie so creeped out bei nem Tatort wie bei der opening sequence... und dann die ganze angst danach? Solid tatort would recommend
Nemesis boah die armen Kinder Jesus diese Mutter braucht definitiv mehr als nur ein paar therapieblstunden... Leo die anfängt ihren Ach so tollen Vater zu hinterfragen und seinen anruf am ende nicht annimmt gave me a lot
Und da ich seit ich angefangen habe das zu schreiben auch noch den dritten angefangen und beendet habe
Die Zeit ist gekommen once again die armen kids ey... naja aber Leo und Karin sind ja mal n wirklich gutes team geworden. Der Typ ist ja mal wirklich irrational and his wife auch aber Anna sieht wenigstens gut aus dabei (she has a very cute face and hairstyle) intresting case auf jeden Fall...
Well ich hab jetzt auf jeden Fall ein viertes Tatort Team gefunden das ich neben Saarbrücken, Münster und Weimar mag (ich trauer btw immernoch weimar nach bc well Nora tschirner)
6 stunden am Stück Tatort Dresden zu gucken stand definitiv nicht auf meiner Bingokarte but here we are at 3.45 am on February 6th...
Goodnight goodnight I will sleep tight now...

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:
Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.
#'but gaza' trump wants TO OBLITERATE THEM. HE LITERALLY WANTS THERE TO BE NOTHING LEFT OF GAZA AT ALL. WHY DO YOU THINK#I DON'T WANT HIM IN POWER?????#yeah I said I wouldn't election post I lied sorry.#I know most of you don't actually care what happens to american citizens because we're all Violent Hypocrites who should kill ourselves#and somehow every single civilian is responsible for the actions of a military and government that comparatively few of us are actually par#of but FUCKING HELL. You don't care about THE PEOPLE OF GAZA??? Because that's what you're telling me if you're in favor of#doing anything OTHER than the most likely path to get trump out of politics. which is voting for the candidate DIRECTLY OPPOSING HIM.#the thing about america being an empire that needs to die. is that before it dies. it is still affecting the rest of the world.#I can't make you care about me and my loved ones. but I am IMPLORING you to have some fucking compassion for all the people#who are going to be DEEPLY negatively affected elsewhere if trump gets into power.#THEIR HARM. THEIR DEATHS. ARE ON /YOU/ IF YOU DID ANYTHING TO FACILITATE TRUMP'S VICTORY IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.#I don't believe most of you actually have any amount of the sympathy and compassion for others you claim to have.#I don't think any of the causes you throw yourself behind are actually meaningful to you. I don't think any of this is based on a#genuine desire to build a better world. I think you just want your Internet friends to think you are a Good Person.#if I see anyone. ANYONE. acting like a trump presidency is what we 'deserve'. or that it's necessary to 'teach [xyz] a lesson'#I am NEVER speaking to you again I don't care how long I've known you.#us politics#I am a disabled queer woman. almost everybody I love is also disabled and queer. you think we're acceptable collateral damage fine.#but don't cry that I'm being a bitch if I say that that makes me not trust you and not want to have anything to do with you.

i don't want to talk about dream or the fuckass smp ever but everyone is misunderstanding slur discourse and it's pissing me off:
the whole 'dream was RECLAIMING the slur!' excuse is so childishly weak that i'm surprised dream isn't trying to emotionally abuse it for content. everyone using this excuse seems to be willfully misunderstanding how to use slurs - by which i mean there is no 'how to' for using slurs. a slur is not a funny little no-no word that comes free with whatever marginalized identity you have; every community is going to have a different relationship with the slurs associated with them.
the N-slur, F-slur and T-slur have all been used to establish a sense of community and rebellion (though all in slightly different ways) - the R-slur, however, has never been used in a community-building way AT ALL. so when you use a word like the R-slur, a word that has NEVER been used to establish community or rebellion for the neurodivergent community, as an insult against 5 million people (the implication being that watching tommyinnit makes you autistic and therefore 'wrong') then yeah, i don't really buy the 'but i'm RECLAIMING it!!!!' excuse. as someone who used to just throw the word around in the past, i genuinely cringe now when i see other neurodivergent people (especially low-support-needs NDs like dream, because it is ALWAYS low-support-needs NDs like dream) using the R-slur, because it just proves you have no idea about the history of your community or the context of the word; you just want your own N-slur to be able to pepper into conversation without anyone telling you off for it.
so no, dream was not reclaiming the word, and it is not comparable to him getting called a slur by nicholas cantu (and honestly dream trying to find a way to use 'gumball called me a faggot' as an excuse for hurling slurs would be so fucking funny if it weren't so sad and pathetic.) it's not comparable to the N-slur or F-slur or anything like that because, say it with me, slurs aren't a fucking,,, Perk you unlock the second you enter a marginalized community. they're all very unique with very different contexts and histories behind them. this is just another privileged fuckwad grasping at straws to use a no-no word because he knows he's not allowed to use any of the other ones.
#'we're allowed to reclaim the word!!!' try organizing any kind of community event with the R-slur in the title#i'm really curious to see what kind of people would attend#(i'm really sorry for posting about DSMP in 2025. i'm really cool i prommy. i have reading comprehension and decentish media tastes i swear#anti dream#tommyinnit#also even when you are a queer person. obviously you can reclaim and idgaf but when you're dropping slurs in EVERY SENTENCE.#it just gets a little weird. and sad. you clearly don't care about the actual weight and power of the word.#you just want to say your no-no word and get away with it.#forgive me for needing to yap about things that don't matter. i'm autistic. it will happen again.

Close ups on the pocket details!!! I'm SUPER happy w how the top pockets look 😳😳😳
I think the variety of pride pins with the moral panic button/Mr Faggot beadwork just. Really sells it. Shadow the Hedgehog voice Pee Your Pants. If you're going to be a shithead about me I'm going to be really annoying and do a bit about it. Plus the little golden angel pin... ALSO really pulls the whole thing together. "God help you" Right in front of my guardian angel? Really? 😒And how could I not make mention of. The Skull. I love you The Skull. It's a button (not sewn on yet, pinned) that I filled the details in w nail polish. Oh yeah! Besides the bottle cap pins (acrylics sealed with mod podge and a prayer), the biggest addition there is the chain lining the pocket flap! I think it looks SO SLICK
The pansy was gonna go on the queer side, but then I got the boutonniere idea! And I think it looks nice! Kinda adds to the asymmetry of the floral print/plaid blocking. And... of course.... I have... my friends...... 🥺 Biggest additions here are the glow-star pentagram pin, soda tabs and the heart locket!

I don't really have many new additions to the bottom pockets. Not yet! The only thing I did was stitch one side of the handcuff chain, and rearrange the pins holding up the other side. The cuffs/scorpion was just an impulse addition before going to a concert. But I do like it! And it looks even better now! Meanwhile, that other pocket, I actually have no idea what I'll do. Sakura is just there cause she matches really well, esp w the angel pin actually!
#punk tag#diy punk#my projects#I FORGOT I USED THAT TAG .#also i AM gonna put patches on this thang I PROMISE. I WAS TOO SCARED LAST RUN. THIS RUN. WILL BE DIFFERENT.#again still waiting. but i really really wanted to show off/talk about the details!!!!!#i have sooooo many Thoughts behind this jacket like. an entire ideology. it almost feels like drag in a way#like! in the sense that there's a performance and art going on here. if my existence is inherently controversial#then i'm gonna lean into that. make you sit with that. and i'm NO LONGER CUTE ABOUT IT#<- guy who called himself cute yesterday bc I LOOKED REALLY GOOD. IT WAS AWESOME. OKAY#i forget i have a body and a face so much.#also! the cuffs!!! feel like a slight nod to the kink community. like. i really do feel like the demonization of kink#is the reason why so much. everything is so bad. i have thoughts about this but i can't fully articulate them rn#but like. points at the sign that says all queerness and esp queer expression is kink in the eyes of bigots#points at the sign that those are my friends you asshole. it might even be me. who knows....#any which way! really coming together! i do really need to get studs though i think. the. horrors.#and also i'll look sick as hell.#rn i feel it's... well. not exactly subtle but i am fortunate to live in a safe area. i live in mind your own business state.#not like. saying that to you i mean like that's the general attitude where i live LMFAOOO#the worst i've gotten is a lady saying 'god help you' to me in passing. and that was really recent#an indication of ohhh changing tides. unsettling. but also she couldn't even look me in the eye when she said that lmfao#any which way! i am thinking of my safety but also i do feel like i'm lucky enough to have time.#my jacket
