— firebird by sergey fetisov

[ID: eight gifs from Firebird (2021) of Roman and Sergey hiding from a military jeep behind a bank in the forest.

GIF 1: Roman and Sergey peering above the grass to make sure the jeep is gone. Roman turns to look at Sergey, who looks down at him as if just noticing their closeness.

GIF 2: Roman moving in towards Sergey as if to kiss him. Sergey moves back, his brow wrinkled in mixed panic and confusion while Roman waits patiently.

GIF 3: Sergey smiles slightly in permission, and Roman leans all the way to press his lips to Sergey's, kissing him, both their eyes falling shut.

GIF 4: A wide shot of Sergey and Roman laying in the grass as they kiss, Sergey reaching to palm Roman's waist while Roman holds onto the back of Sergey's neck.

GIF 5: A close up of Roman and Sergey deepening the kiss, their hands lacing together in profile as Sergey pushes further into Roman. Roman's hand sinks into the hair at the back of Sergey's head.

GIF 6: A wide shot of Sergey and Roman pulling apart, foreheads still pressed together. Roman's still holding onto the back of Sergey's neck while Sergey's hand travels over the bend in Roman's arm to hold onto his forearm.

GIF 7: Roman looking towards the sky as it starts to rain, absently returning the kiss Sergey gives him as they both turn to look at the sky.

GIF 8: Roman tilting back to lay back on his forearms while staring at the sky, Sergey's hand traveling down the side of his arm to hold his hand briefly before they both look up at the raining pouring down on them.

FIREBIRD (2021)

why i believe mlm-centric media is more popular then any wlw-centric media

(DISCLAIMER!!! I am not in ANYWAY discrediting any of the media i use as an example, i personally enjoy almost all of the shows mentioned and am merely trying to prove a point, i am glad we are at a point in society with ANY LGBTQ+ representation and I hope we only further it from this point on)

okay, so i’ve been thinking about this for the past couple of days, some examples of what i mean are as follows

Media that features mlm relationships (Heartstopper, Young Royals, Red, White & Royal Blue), is almost always in a “realistic” scenario. (i’m not saying that YR and RWRB are realistic, however it is not set in a fantasy setting)

Media that features wlw relationships (First Kill, I Am Not Okay With This), are almost always in “fantasy” type settings.

Why do I believe there is a correlation? I think it’s because of the fetishization of LGBTQ relationships.

For example, Heartstopper.

While yes, it does have a lesbian couple as well, Tara and Darcy aren’t the main characters. I think the reason Heartstopper was such a success is because it is realistic, and straight cis women think its cute. i am in no way saying that straight-cis people can’t enjoy gay media, but it becomes alarming when their whole personality revolves around the fact they like gay couples. If you think “Oh, there aren’t people like that!” Yes there are.

Meanwhile, on the opposite end, straight cis men don’t want to watch wlw couples be cute and fall in love because “ew thats weird and gross.” so there isn’t as big of a fanbase, straight cis men aren’t the ones who make the fan-works, and even if the LGBTQ+ community does like a show, they need the most possible appeal and they won’t find that with cis straight men.

Plus, straight people don’t want to see their own gender being with each-other. The ratio of straight cis women obsessed with wlw relationships to SCW obsessed with mlm relationships is like one to ten, and we’ve already established that SCM aren’t involved in fandom as much as SCW.

another disclaimer because i can already feel people attacking me for this, this is not a call-out post, merely me stating things i’ve noticed, i don’t care what you do lol.

If you have any other points you’d like to add, let me know :)
