Lawrence Barretto wonders why Lance spends barely any time in his interviews and then you see the questions he asks him, is it really that much of a surprise? Like you can see Lance's face actually drop at one of the questions "I was gonna ask, is it a confidence thing?"

Gerard & Labels
with whats happening on twitter (and here tbh), i thought id put my two cents in as a queer trans person.
gerard has always been explicitly against labels. they’ve said it and tweeted it multiple times.
so putting any label on him that they haven’t put on themselves is automatically so disrespectful.
the only ‘label’ he’s put on himself is using he/they pronouns.
which doesn’t automatically make them queer because, say it with me class…
🗣️pronouns do not equal gender
this is like queer 101 people. we should know this.
cis people can use they pronouns and still be cis.
does that mean i’m calling gerard cishet? nope. because? they don’t use labels.
gerard is just gerard. and even if he decided a label was right for them, we as fans are sure as hell not entitled to know everything going on in their personal life. respect his boundaries. respect everyone’s boundaries.

I was reading, once again, this wonderful post by @aurorabyler and this part particularly struck to me:
And I wholeheartedly agree.
Can I say how much people disregard the actions of Mike towards El or don't think too much of it? Same with El.
Mike going through ST4EP3 is paralleling Nancy's incapability of saying "I love you" to Steve after she called their relationship "bullshit" while drunk (even though Nancy already said that she loved Steve, to his face).
Why is it that people took it seriously when Nancy was unable to say those words when Steve demanded them but when Mike doesn't say such words after El confronted him about it, most of the audience's response is "He's just a teenager", "They're too young", "He doesn't know what love is" or "He doesn't have to say that he loves her to demonstrate he cares about her" while simultaneously saying "Say you love her!", "My man, you can't say those words?!"
How come Steve and Nancy were teenagers but people still took it seriously when they had their "I love you" situation but somehow the same doesn't apply for Mike and El?
How come people were expecting someone who can't even write "Love, Mike" in a letter to his girlfriend or mention the word "love" to his best friend to say "I love you", even after he was confronted by said girlfriend and just said that he cared a lot about her?
A character saying "I care about you" to someone else is THE MOST PLATONIC thing ever and it basically means that person is automatically being friendzoned.
We all know that.
But when Mike says it, it's nothing serious?
When El wrote "From El" in the letter Mike received in ST4EP5, most audience's response was "It just means she's being petty", "Aww she wrote him a letter" or it just caused some laughs.
They downplay every action Mike and El take towards each other and honestly? I'm not even surprised cause most people suppose Mike and El will never have a big issue or something that can break them as a romantic couple because they've been "love interests" throughout the show (as if movies and TV Shows have never broken up long-term relationships ever before).
Why is it that back in ST2, when Steve and Nancy had that fight, everyone automatically thought of Jonathan, who seemed to show romantic interest in Nancy but somehow nobody thought of Will (who was shown pining after Mike) when Mike couldn't say "I love you" to El?

I was raised pretty religious and when I was like 12, I got a purity ring. Basically, for those of you who don't have religious trauma are unfamiliar, it's basically a ring that signifies waiting until marriage before you do the horizontal tango. I remember one of my friends told me I would regret it, but I was all like "nah. I've always known I wanted to wait anyway, it won't be hard" and I meant it. 1000%. Even without religious ties.
Anyway I'm asexual now.

there's something that bothers me so much whenever i read or see magic reveal concepts that involve "i'm more mad you lied to me than i am about the magic how could you keep such a big secret from me" and i finally realized its because it feels so. dismissive of merlin's struggle? him having to watch people with magic be arrested or executed or burned day after day after day, to listen to the people closest to him so casually refer to it as evil, as though that were an unquestionable fact, having to live every single day less and less sure he could ever be accepted after hiding so long and seeing so much.
like in general but esp as a queer person, seeing these takes that make a magic reveal just about "why didn't you tell me don't you trust me" when actually the characters did not really give merlin much reason to trust they would be accepting (and in fact often in their very reactions demonstrate exactly why he was hesitant), and even if they had he lives!!! in a place where it is literally illegal!!!! like it is so frustrating to constantly see these perspectives where arthur or the knights angrily question why merlin couldn't tell them and merlin just being silent in response, when its so beyond clear how difficult a position merlin was in.
merlin is almost never the main character in his own magic reveal scenarios beyond just worrying about the other person liking him again, and while i get why that is, since its the other person's perspective shifting usually, its still frustrating because its meant to be a culmination of his life's struggle and finally a full realization and acceptance of himself, and i wish we could see more of that: more of merlin's own messy emotions towards having to hide for so long, over fearing his own friends, over suppressing who he is, over getting used to being open about it for the first time in his entire life.

Radfems and terfs reblog my posts and disseminate them to other moronic bigots and in my efforts to clean my notes I get exposed to some of the most unhinged content I have ever seen, but what honestly makes me sad, what honestly hurts my heart more than anything isn't the weird memes or strange arguments or how they'll take anything a single trans person does as something every trans person does or how they take any kind of ironic internet meme about being trans and get real fucking weird about it.
No, what makes me hurt the most is how many of these radfems have their age in their bios and how so many of them are only 18 or 19 or sometimes they're minors
And like wow, you poor child being brainwashed by bigots into believing that your sisters are your oppressors
I truly hope you grow up and realize just how much the radfem/terf community has truly ruined you and how you think and how you operate in this world, I hope one day you wake up to the bigotry they have implanted in your heart and you do the necessary work to deprogram yourself from their brainwashing.
I'm still gonna block you tho ✌️
I am not the bitch to save you from the bigotry, that is not my job, do what you gotta do and find an actual adult in your life to deprogram you from what the internet radfems did to you and stop adding yourself to the number of Gen Alpha kids who will be voting for Trump 2.0 when you're in your 40s
