I have a hate love relationship with being in small fandoms. On one side, there’s practically no content because the same 7 people post about it on one or two platforms, and on the other you get to know everyone and it’s usually not toxic, there’s very few freaks, it’s lovely.

It's extra tricky because the New Character's entire deal is being the "New Gay Character Attached To This Established Character" so they can't have any real negative characteristics or a personality because 1. Token characters must be model representatives of their community 2. Token relationships must be model representatives as well! No conflict allowed! As close to heteronormativity as possible! Marvel's Northstar and his husband Kyle are prime examples. Northstar is the most abrasive Canadian man you will ever meet and Kyle is... a guy. To this day, I don't know what Kyle's personality is like, or how he can get along with Northstar, who is the Namor Of The North. Not to mention that I find it tricky to believe that Northstar would be strictly monogamous, but that's not for me to judge. The way their relationship is written, there's just no soap opera there, which is one of the greatest crimes you can commit in an ensemble super hero comic.

comic book trend that honestly irks the fuck out of me is when an existing character comes out as gay and they invent a new character to be their partner. like theres nothing wrong with it per se its just that the new boyfriend/girlfriend character is always jarringly bland and uninteresting, especially when compared to the latent homosexual potential that definitely already existed in the story. like there’s something so deeply unsatisfying about introducing a new side character as a girlfriend for karma in new mutants 2019 when she’d been having dramatic hand-holding adventures with dani the whole time. it implies such a definite hesitancy to ever make characters gay For Each Other, and the result of that hesitancy is that you don’t get any of the long-term slow-burn relationships that heterosexual characters get (like between batman and catwoman or whatever). instead you get New Relatable Millennial Queer Partner that you have to fight tooth and nail to give a fuck about. nobody’s doing it like rictor and shatterstar anymore nobody’s doing coming out reveals that hit like that

The thing is even back then you could reasonably expect to live to 50 or 60+ if you made it to adulthood. Average life expectancy at birth was so low because nearly half of children wouldn't survive their childhood.

"30 years old isn't old man" what privilege do you live in where your life expectancy is far past 30 years

This post blindsided me so bad I spent a full minute staring at it in shock

Okay but while I think we kinda all agree in the fandom that Rammstein's “Sonne” is Lucifer's song, can we come to an agreement for the rest of Gwendoline's characters please?

What are your thoughts?

I want more female characters who are just so bad at comforting others. Not for lack of trying or caring, they just get so so awkward when someone's upset, and they try to repeat things they've heard even if it doesn't necessarily apply to the situation, or they accidentally say the wrong thing and make it worse. If someone cries they panic and throw every single comfort technique down at once and it only helps because it's such bizarre behaviour
