i ask this entirely in good faith since i’ve been thinking about it a lot lately but could anyone explain why fox blocked bi buck and possibly buddie but somehow tarlos was able to survive on lone star while on the same network? i mean this is the same network that also used to have glee on their roster back in the day so it’s even more insane to me that they would block it for 911 but maybe someone has a better answer, perhaps from a business viewpoint that i haven’t considered? i love your blog!

Well, I'm no expert on Lone Star Nonny. I tried to watch it, but gave up after two episodes.

However, as I understand it Tarlos was always the plan. TK was always established as gay, right from the beginning. Carlos was also gay from the start. So the plan was alway Tarlos.

FOX knew that there would be a gay couple in Lone Star. They knew it beforehand and they approved it.

In that sense Buddie is more unique. Buck started out sleeping around with a lot of women in season 1, before settling with Abby. There was never a plan to make him bisexual. Canonically, at that point, everybody thought he was straight. Which of course ended up being wrong, because in season 7 we found out he is (and always has been) bisexual.

Eddie was introduced in season 2. An insider on Twitter has talked about the fact that Eddie was supposed to be gay from the get go, but we have no real confirmation of that. Canonically he was married to a woman and the audience didn't have reason to think he was anything but straight. Now, Eddie fans quickly clocked him as some kind of queer, but it wasn't (and still isn't) canon.

Buddie was never in the plans. It just naturally developed because of Ryan and Oliver's crazy crackling on screen chemistry. They just clicked so well and anything they filmed together was gold.

Everyone could see their connection, including the show runner Tim Minear. But when he pitched the idea to FOX, they said 'no'.

Now, I'm not American, but I understand that FOX is a very conservative network. So maybe they didn't want 'another gay couple' in one of their shows? The OG already had Karen and Hen and maybe they thought that was representation enough? Maybe they didn't specifically want bisexual representation on their show? Who knows?

¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Keep in mind that Lone Star came after the OG, so maybe they saw how popular Buddie was online and wanted to recreate that chemistry with two men that were established as gay from the start? Perhaps they were even hoping that people would stop asking for Buddie to happen if they threw Tarlos at them? Amost as if they thought that queer couples are interchangeable somehow? 0_°

For Buddie it would certainly have been a more complicated story line than Tarlos, since neither of them was established as anything else than straight from the start. Maybe that was the problem? Two men coming out in their late twenties, early thirties? After a lot of relationships with women and even a marriage. Not just that, a marriage with a kid.

Maybe they were afraid that more conservative viewers would drop the show if two 'manly macho previously perceived as straight' men would fall for each other?

Whatever it was, it's obvious that Ryan and Oliver are very happy to be free of FOX. ABC is giving them the opportunity they didn't get at FOX.

Good for them.

[hyenagurl]

it disgusts me how gay stans are treating billie online. its no wonder so many bisexual women dont come out, or consider themselves to be “lesbians” (which is bad mind u, but thats a separate convo from this one). it seems to me that the “all bi girls are faking it for male approval” never actually went away, it just gets a new look every decade or so.

[eddiegettingshot]

this is stupid when but i think its annoying when i see people online say that ga wouldnt understand canon buddie in the show like. what do u mean. its talked about in interviews approved by abc. people IRL i know have picked up on it! bi buck happened and yeah some people in the ga were assholes but a lot were like, oh yeah thats cool!! its not that hard to connect the dots

lmao this is so silly 🤣 buck being bi after having an extensive history with women was always going to be harder for a general audience to get past than anything else. like we have crossed the first hurdle. i really don’t know how much of a mental leap it’s going to take for them to understand buddie. honestly i feel like a lot of the reaction after 7x04 was “i thought he was going to kiss eddie” lol. also like. the entirety of 7x04 to someone who doesn’t read interviews is literally going to look like buck acting like a freak over eddie for 45 minutes, all the way up until some other guy kisses him. and also. like. once it happens, it happens… this is why it’s so funny to me that they won’t shut up about the fan edits 😂 i don’t think it has a deeper meaning other than appreciation but they really keep making the point that with the right framing and music their interactions could definitely be construed as romantic

[gender-critical-analytical]

I'm talking about the bisexual women who take issue with the febfem label in general. Saying it implies that bisexual women are male centric or imply that their doing it to get lesbian approval

okay. I still have seen almost no bisexual women raising that point. Like I get that people will all have their own individual experiences online, but I haven't seen one single bi woman make this argument. Now, I've seen 'why does it need a label? febfems are just like any other bisexuals' but that is an entirely different focus, and it has a pretty simple answer. I don't really get the point of this.

[pedges-world]

"A Sense of Pride"

Hey beautiessss! I wanted to write something specifically for pride, entirely self indulgent, and based in my own limited experience. If this doesn't describe you, it doesn't describe you! But hopefully it speaks to inclusion, positivity and self love, in all it's forms!

Triggers: nothing big! a little self doubt, little profanity, mostly fluff a little implied smut, fictional exploration of orientation with our Therapist Pedge and loving support of the LGBTQIA+ community, I've also tried to write w/o gender pronouns so Therapist Pedge can love on us all...

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

“I brought Thai foooood!” Pedge sang out from the doorway of your apartment, balancing several bags and books precariously in his arms and dumping them unceremoniously on the ground.

“K” a voice responded from the living room.

Silence.

“Alright, not the tone of enthusiasm I was expecting…” Pedge rounded the corner to find the top of your head hovering behind your computer screen and assorted merchandise strewn haphazardly around the room.

“Whoaaaa…babe. Are we hosting the Pride Parade this year in the living room, cause we’re gonna need a bigger boat…” P grinned broadly, hanging a rainbow flag around his neck, and draping his arms around your shoulders.

You quickly slammed the laptop shut, looking around the room, slightly chagrined. “I may have gone a little overboard at Walmart while you were gone” you blushed.

“I mean, I’m LOVING the new decor” he nodded in approval “though, a little surprised! Feeling all the ally feelings? Are you a Leprechaun and you didn’t tell me?”

Silence.

“Tell me about your meetings” you stalled, setting the laptop quickly on the coffee table.

He took a heavy breath, plopping down on the couch and shaking his head. “I don’t understand why we have to take these meetings in person, in the digital age. The 405 is ALWAYS a disaster area. I ran out of Nicorette on the drive home…”

“I’m ace” you interrupted, holding your breath in anticipation “maybe?” Pedge sat, unmoving, un-reactive. Apparently, non-plussed at your blunt admission.

“Does that mean…I should have gotten vegetarian, instead?” he asked, with tremendous gravitas.

Your eyebrows shot up with irritation. “I’m not joking, P! I’m fucking BROKEN!” you wailed, lightly slapping him on the chest, and starting to unravel. 

“OW!” he pouted, grabbing your hand and rubbing it over his chest in faux reproof. “You’re not broken! What are you talking about? Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks!” he chastised, massaging your hand and smirking. “I don’t understand, but I’m curious. Bi-curious. Is this a new revelation…in the last couple hours?”

“No! I don’t know. I mean, you know…I’ve talked to you about…my background…and my…preferences…and I was looking up terms online…And then I got confused…” you trailed off, unsure of what you were trying to say.

“Honey, are you interested in less…touching? Or…maybe…not into sex…or…not into, ME?” he set your hand down in your lap with genuine interest, but trying to grab ahold of the very loose thread of understanding.

“Noooo!” you mewled, hugging him firmly around the waist and knocking the breath out of him. You grabbed him by the face, smashing your lips into his, sharing a long kiss. After a few minutes you both came up for air, you, lightly drawing your fingers through his hair and sniffling slightly.

“I gotta say, based on what I know about being ace, this doesn’t seem very on brand” he teased, with eyes closed.

You bit your lower lip in confusion, exploding in a cascade of confusing language, 

“Iwaswatchingthetelevisionshowsexeducation. Andtheyweretalkingaboutasexualityandsomeofitkindofappliedtome.ButyouknowILOVEsexthoughsometimesIfeelmorecomfortableenjoyingitalone.ButIdontwanttoBEaloneIjustdontalwaysfeellikebeingphysicalintimate.

“Okay, there’s a lot of interesting ideas to unpack there” he paused. “Did you just use the word, genitalia?”

Silence.

You both burst into uncontrollable laughter as he stroked your upper thigh hesitantly. After a few minutes, everything settled down as he sat back, gazing at you appraisingly.

“What?” you huffed, annoyed at your own theatrics and noticing the small rumble in your stomach.

“Babe…I like being with YOU. I like touching you, I like laughing with you. I like eating with you. And if you’re still okay with it…I like…eating…you” he lovingly pinched at your knee as you started giggling. “I’m excited to unpack whatever these discoveries are. And there’s nothing wrong with you or broken about anything you’re feeling. You’re just human, and humans have all different kinds of preferences. That Kinsey guy said everything is on a spectrum.”

You nodded silently, attempting to take everything in. “I was reading that some peeps don’t even think asexuality is a thing. Like I don’t even belong in ANY community…”

“I mean you know I don’t like using a lot of labels. I think sexuality is a pretty fluid thing. I’ve had lots of incredible…interactions with people over the years. Do you think I’M broken?”

“No, that’s one of the things I like BEST about you!” you blurted out. “You’re open-hearted! Sometimes I feel so closed off. How can I still be so confused?” you complained, throwing your hands up in the air.

He smiled, fingering your chin lightly. “Sex isn’t the price we pay for intimacy. Or love. I just want to make sure you’re comfortable. I want to know you, that’s all.”

“Me too” you grinned, caressing his face.

Silence.

“Somebody said something about Thai?” you whispered, rubbing your legs together excitedly.

“I don’t think asexuals are allowed to eat Thai Food” he shook his head disapprovingly before you leapt onto his lap. “I read that on Google” he teased, pinching your stomach.

“So, like…if you’re bi…and I’m ace…together…we could be…bi-ased” you scrunched your nose at the disastrous attempt.

“Ewwwww” he laughed. “Race you to the Thai…”

Hey, don't do this shit:

normal person 1: This character canonically had a crush on both a male character and a female character, she is bisexual, not lesbian.

some gremlin: You are lesbophobic skill issue we just want to be happy imagine being pissed at us existing stay mad d*kehater!!!!

normal person 2: I am confused how this is lesbophobic to not approve of bi erasure in the fandom?

some gremlin: Well, you see, many of us struggled and are still struggling with comphet, just because this character dated or wanted to date a male character in the past doesn't mean that she can't be a lesbian afterwards! Maybe she just hadn't realised earlier! It is not fair to not let people use their own experiences to relate to a character they headcanon as a lesbian!

normal person 2: So, if a female character only ever expressed attraction to women in the canon, and someone who used to think they were a lesbian but turned out they were bi said that this female character is bisexual but just haven't realised it yet because they had such experience and can say so, would you respect their opinion? Or you would block them and accuse them of "lesbian erasure in the fandom"?

some gremlin:

some gremlin:

some gremlin: *delves down several months deep into normal person 1's online history to snatch something either heavily personal or violently torn from the context and no longer relevant to the topic in either case* HEY HEADS UP you're defending a problematic violently bigoted abusive person jsyk

________________

^ If you've lost an argument like this or similar one upon having your double standards exposed, and your reaction is not owning up to your mistake (or at least silently backing away, if you really feel SO ashamed now) but to switch onto irrelevant details about the person who brought up initial sentiment? You are genuinely awful ally for any activism, including the ones for your own demographic. In ideal world, fandomry should be exclusively about being a fan and not about activism, but since it is unavoidable anymore we at least must have bare minimum standards for logic and decency!

Acting like the Some Gremlin character proves that you do not actually care about the topic and your sole interest is to be "right", when debates and arguments exist with the purpose of finding the truth. It can be nice or it can be uncomfortable, it could confirm what you've already known or it could crumble your whole view. This is why the pursuit and the involvement of different people is so important, and this is why it is important that everyone participates in debates with only genuine intentions! If what you seek from debates is "winning" them and not discovering the facts, you need to really step away and reconsider. It is good if this issue only concerns things like headcanons, because what if you will carry this problem into more serious discussions with the stakes?

"gatekeeping" was coined/popularized to refer to transmisogynistic sexual abuse levied against trans women by their doctors to coerce them in exchange for approval and access to transition resources. very apt that you proudly claim to "gatekeep" now in your totally-not-a-crusade-against-transfems-who-step-out-of-line perpetual online breakdown. you don't seem like a safe person for trans women or any other women to be around

obviously medical gatekeeping is wrong. And you are right that this is the original definition within the lgbtq+ community. But if you not only read my blog, as well as look at how most other people within the community use that term, I'm not referring to medical gatekeeping. i'm referring to regular gatekeeping.

Also considering most "bi lesbians" are cisgender or afab nobinary bisexuals and most "trans man lesbians" are...trans men (and their supporters are TERFS but y'all can't have that conversation right now), how am I running a "crusade" against trans women?? Really?

My beloved mutuals and followers (many of which are trans women btw) understand what I mean because they have brains and understand my thought process. You're just looking to start a fight and can't even come off anon to tell me yourself. Pathetic.

Survival Fundraising for Disabled, Queer Siblings - Please Read (and Help)!

My sibling (Hem - a.k.a. rivalconga on Twitter) and I are disabled. Hem has a broken hip in need of a replacement they cannot yet get, POTS, HS, and an essential tremor. These conditions make it impossible for them to work outside of the home, and they have been applying for online WFH for many months. If you have WFH leads on transcription, data entry, or research work, please get in touch with them via the link to their Twitter, or hit me up here on Tumblr.

I just observed (in July) my 10th anniversary of a chronic congestive heart failure diagnosis, and I also am a fairly recently diagnosed T2D working on getting a good treatment regimen, and regularly require infusions of IV iron for lifelong iron-deficiency anemia that doesn't respond to oral iron supplements or dietary iron. I am also in the midst of trying to get an ADHD diagnosis.

I am unable to work, and I applied for SSDI in April, and was given my first denial in July, which happens in about 80% of SSDI cases. I am getting an attorney to appeal, but the process is slow. In the meantime, I'm not able to bring in income.

We do not have family to provide us with assistance, and we have extremely limited resources for help where we live. There are no homeless shelters here, and our state (Missouri) is openly hostile to LGBT+ and unhoused people. Also, most assistance here is tied to evangelical Christian organizations, and I am Jewish.

You can help us by spreading the word on your social media for us. If you can help us financially, even if only $1, please send aid to our payment apps:

Paypal - nivcharayahel

Venmo - heathmarie31 (This is Hem's account.)

CashApp - $heathmarie31

You can find direct links to these and my other social media at my Linktree:

Hem is also a budding artist, and is offering art for $10+ donations. Here's their Twiter thread for more details:

Here are samples of their art (which are, IMO, way better than okay!):

If you're interested and you can't contact them on Twitter, get in touch with me here!

Until Hem gets work and/or I get my SSDI approved, we need about $1200 monthly to cover rent, groceries/household supplies, and Rx/over-the-counter medical expenses.

We also have an Amazon Wishlist if you'd prefer to help in that way. (Link coming soon--it is badly in need of an overhaul.)

Thank you so much for helping us survive!

I'm deeply sorry for coming off a rude. I was simply angry at the author for being a creep.

I also want to assure You that I didnt create an alternate account but simply logged in from another device.

My first point of clarification is simple and involve both contextual and steteotypical takes regarding lesbians and lesbianism.

Varvara's being established into women only from the get go sets in motion this harmful belief that lesbians can be turned by right guy and his dick. Considering said scene is also rife with indirect mockery of her feelings for Kyouka I personally find that disgusting (both the slap and the smitten eyes).

And I can assure You that the author knew what he was doing, because there were a great amout of comments consisting of subtle and overt jokes regarding lesbian conversion etc.

My second take revolves around Yuuki's latent desires and the way in which they shape this reward. To clarify once again, he knew how Varvara felt about Kyouka and approved of that, yet he indirectly selfishly demanded her to strip and to give him a kiss. Plus also a sexual act implied by the bonus mini chapter. It is indicated that these actions were forced on Varvara by him by him being totally passive and not into them at all.

So I, once again, view these scenes not as something positive but as a form of "wholesome" conversion. Not overtly creepy, but with this underlying messages that lesbians can be turned by a right guy.

And thank You for the linka - I've already contacted both organizations and am now simply waiting.

And this is my question: are You okay with the other same-sex attracted characters in Mato Seihei (Yakumo, Yachiyo and Ema)?

Look I assumed this was an alternate account because it has no posts, no follows, and no likes. Which is profoundly sus, my dude

Not gonna argue on our interpretations of the scene, because I genuinely don't see what you're seeing and if we keep this circular conversation we're getting nowhere

as for everything else

I wasn't aware the author made any fucked up comments and if so then he can go die in a fucking pit

and well if those are comments made by fans then ugh. Yeah no that's what I get for enjoying this manga, I have to share space with fucking creeps and weirdos, and I hate that they feel validated by this bullshit

and on that last point

Yakumo is like genuinely the worst and is shown to be a fucked up pervert

I don't remember when Yachiyo was shown to have any sort of attraction for women, unless you consider her "driven by sisterly love" thing to mean she wants to do a Citrus with her sister

and uh I forgot Ema existed

so yeah no this manga isn't exactly doing wonders on the queer rep, but also like NO SHIT

like seriously if a manga or anime isn't explicitly about queerness then the chances of it having queer rep are microscopic

Which fucking sucks and shouldn't be that way, but honestly did we really expect Chained Soldier of all series to break that trend?

When My Hero Academia is over there killing a trans character a hand full of chapters after she's introduced, and then killing its bi character moments after she has her love reciprocated by another woman

When JJK keeps throwing its female characters into the blender for drama

When One Piece fans would rather start a fight than use Yamato's correct pronouns and recognize him as a man

When the bar is set so low the Devil is playing limbo with it

Yeah it sucks, but let's be honest here, Japan has much MUCH bigger problems with queer people and there's far more pressing shit to deal with

All our times are better spent helping queer people in need than arguing with people online

[blood-and-poetry]

Hot take I'm seeing quite a few posts confused over why Deadloch isn't trending or much more popular on tumblr because "tumblr is so gay and so feminist". And I am sorry to say this but tumblr isn't the "lesbian website" or the "feminist website". Tumblr loves men just as much as the rest of society does, its user base just loves them in a very online way which makes it look a bit different at times. It has always been this way, starting with shipping every two white dudes in close proximity to each other, over worshipping old male Hollywood actors to downright MRA and anti-feminist talking points in the recent past in "progressive leftist" spaces on here. All done in very uwu political correct tumblr speak of course.

And it's really that simple. Media with two (often times white) guys standing close to each other will always be more popular on here than anything women- or lesbian centric, no matter how many theoretical tumblr approval boxes said media ticks. There is a reason why lesbian shows get canceled left and right. Even if lesbian shows are trending for one or two days there is just no genuine interest from a majority of people (on tumblr and anywhere else). Men overall are rarely interested if it isn't made with the male gaze in mind or focusses on men, straight women aren't interested, even many bi women (don't come at me I am bi) aren't interested because they don't see other women (and often times themselves) as complete and potentially interesting people/characters (how often I've seen women on here saying something along the lines of "my favourite characters are all men but it's just because these characters are so good! Pure coincidence. I would definitely love a female character but I just have never found one I am that obsessed with. Not my fault, they are all written in a bad/boring way").

Doesn't matter how often the word "queer" is thrown around here, all of this has always been the same and it won't change. Which is.. fine? I have never expected it to be something else. A website that isn't specifically designed for lesbians but only attracts lesbians would be magical. But a website thats designed for nerdy people and especially women of that kind will attract.. nerdy people/women. Consisting of the same groups of people that exist in real life, including lots of women attracted to men. I have my little bubble here in which I mainly see lesbian content but the things on my dashboard rarely reflect what's trending or the content of popular posts.

I am not bitter about this because it has never been different (here or anywhere else) but I am surprised that people are still thinking that this website would worship a lesbian-lead and female-centric show when it would be entirely out of character for tumblr as a whole to do so. I mean maybe this is all about the show being australian. Maybe people don't like Australia. I also get that crime shows aren't THAT popular either but I guarantee you, if Dulcie and Eddie were dudes this show would be trending so hard.

Deadloch is a fantastic show. It looks amazing, has fantastic humor, the drama is great, the plot is great, there is a good message behind everything and the show also sprinkles in some of tumblrs top ten greatest political correct catch phrases. The main two characters are played by lesbians, another actress from the main cast is bisexual. One of the main characters is a lesbian and there are several other lesbian characters in the show. The other main character is a woman of color (who SHOULD be same sex attracted but sadly seemingly is not which makes me cry). Almost all important characters are women. Amazingly written by the way. There are plenty of women of color, indigenous women especially, playing important roles. All female characters are complex and nuanced people and their suffering isn't used for shock value or to push forward the plot. The two main female characters are both over 40 years old! What the show doesn't have is the same two decent looking men standing in close proximity to each other. And there really isn't any arguing against my little rant here because the only thing I accept as proving me wrong is a lot of people watching Deadloch or overall more women centric and lesbian centric stuff :) Thank you :)

tw: acephobia

as an ace lesbian posts this make me sick. blaming aces for the way other people have twisted and purported our terminology is just so ridiculous. seriously i’m sick of us (asexuals and lesbians) being scapegoated for intracommunity issues because it’s convenient. sure, some aces are responsible for promoting this idea, but to blame all of us? like aces aren’t gonna stop being or calling ourselves asexual just because other people have decided the SAM is for them. it’s fucking 2023 i shouldn’t have to sit here and explain why aces and ‘bi lesbians’ are 2 different things with different politics, and i shouldn’t have to defend asexuality from people who see it as nothing more than celibacy. asexual just means not heterosexual. genuinely cannot begin to describe the scope of harm this rhetoric does.

there are a lot of things some (terminally) online ace communities have done & said that i don’t approve of, but it is not symptomatic of our minority as a whole. there’s more to say about this but i won’t clog up your inbox. sorry to rant i’m just frustrated

This person (though they were correct to not support the “bi lesbian” label) is doing just what lesbians always complain about: that we’re often the target of the LGBTQ+ community whenever other queers want to blame something on a group. The Ace community is not to blame for this, we should blame individuals who either use or support this label, not a whole group of people - a minority - about it.

Just because some allo people have started using the SAM to describe their identity it doesn’t mean this has anything to do with ace people. A lot of people don’t understand that the SAM was supposed to be used exclusively by the aro/ace community.

Not to mention this person is acting as if “bi lesbians” all used that label because they also use the split attraction model, but they seem to forget a lot of them use the label because 1) they want to include nb people in their identity 2) they want to include trans men or women in their identity or 3) they want to point out they have a gender preference.

And tbh it’s more common to use that label for one of the reasons I mentioned than because the person uses the SAM.

I hate how this community thinks it’s a wonderful idea simply pointing fingers at each other instead of actually listening to each other and understanding our issues.
