grabbing people and going look at me. listen to me. its not "omg the Doctor is finally gay now!!" the Doctor has been queer this entire goddamn time. 9 kissed Jack on the lips in 2005. 10, 11, and 12 openly discussed being attracted to men. 11 ALSO kissed men on the lips. 13 was in love with Yasmin Khan, and openly expressed attraction to women. 14 openly expressed being attracted to a man. these are just off the top of my head I may be missing things

the point is that 15 is not the first Doctor to be openly queer and he is not the first Doctor to become romantically involved with someone of the same sex. stop believing the headlines from Disney that this is the first time the Doctor has been queer onscreen. we are NOT letting them take credit they dont deserve

#doctor who #the doctor #if I missed any explicitly queer moments in Classic Who I apologize #I havent seen most of Classic Who #but just from NuWho: THE DOCTOR BEING QUEER AINT NEW #THE DOCTOR HAS BEEN QUEER THIS ENTIRE GODDAMN TIME #STOP ACTING LIKE THIS IS NEW STOP GIVING DISNEY CREDIT FOR THIS #NINEJACK DIDNT KISS IN THE HOMOPHOBIC YEAR OF 2005 FOR YALL TO BE DOING THIS!!!#also if I missed an explicitly queer moment from 10 I apologize #I know Shakespeare flirted with him but he didnt flirt back so im not counting that #and if I missed a 12 same sex kiss I apologize #I genuinely cant remember if he did #but my point is: THE DOCTOR HAS BEEN QUEER.#im not trying to take away from 15 here but god its so annoying that people are ignoring the show's queer history #and how Disney is pushing the narrative that This Is The First Queer Doctor #fuck off

Looking forward to a bunch of trans women coming out and picking the name Vivian in about five to ten years from now :)

A brain dump of thoughts after Agatha All Along ep 6:

Okay but like. The parallels between Agatha and Billy that we get to see now????

Both of their mothers chose to protect other people, complete strangers, over their own children??? Like. We know Wanda made the right choice, sacrificing her family for the greater good, but in her own twisted way did Evanora believe she was doing the same? Did she ever love her daughter? On some deep level, beneath the anger and hatred and warped sense of justice did it hurt her to try to kill her own child? She believed Agatha would bring countless death and destruction, that she was destined to be evil. As warped as her justifications were did she see it as a selfless sacrifice like Wanda's? Does that make it right? Does Billy have as much reason as Agatha to be angry with his mother for choosing to let him and his brother die? Do her truly selfless intentions matter to a child was just desperate to survive? Will he be able to forgive Wanda before that resentment is used against him? Is Agatha just trying to manipulate him by taunting him about Wanda or does she truly see a bit of herself in a child whose mother tried to kill him? (Edited)

Both of them were forced to do something horrible just to survive??? Agatha had to murder her own family. Billy had to steal the body of a boy who had just died. He had to pretend to be the child of these poor unsuspecting parents who just want their son back. Who have no idea their child is dead. The Kaplans will never get to bury William. He has to look them in the eye every single day knowing he's not really their son but what else was he supposed to do? He hates what he's doing to these people but what choice did he have? Could he even control it or did his soul instinctively seek out a new vessel to protect itself? Agatha was just a child who didn't want to die. Billy was just a child who didn't want to die. Were they selfish? Could they control it? Can we truly blame them if they could?

Both of them do terrible things when they feel backed into a corner or overwhelmed or emotional??? Things that they come to regret as soon as the emotions clear??? Billy looked horrified when he finally realized what he had done to Lilia and Jen but he's an intensely powerful and traumatized child who was overcome with grief and anger. Do we really think every single one of Agatha's kills was 100% self-defense? Do we really think she never killed someone in a fit of anger only to regret it after? And maybe Agatha has come to accept and embrace that now but she must have been like Billy when she was young. (Billy is literally the same age Agatha was when she killed her coven and was even younger when he took William's body) She must have been horrified at her power, at the things she did when she felt trapped. She must have bent over backward trying to defend herself and justify her own actions before realizing no one would believe she didn't want to do those things so she might as well embrace her power to its fullest potential ("I'm not that nice").

Both of them are walking the road for someone they lost??? I know Agatha says she's on the road for her power back but that's not how the road works, right? It doesn't give you what you want it gives you what you're missing. I think if Agatha was really able to get anything at all in the world, it wouldn't be her magic. Agatha is looking for Nicky. Billy is looking for Tommy. I don't know if either of them will really get that at the end but they are absolutely in this for the same reason.

I know there are mixed responses to this episode (at least when I first scrolled through the tag) but I for one really enjoyed it. I was really worried they were going to half-ass the explanation for why Billy was being Like This and fuck up one of the only queer Marvel Comics characters but comparing his actions to Agatha's and showing us this kid who is SO MUCH like how Agatha must have been when she was his age is so much fun actually. Like, it would have been really great but pacing-wise we probably couldn't have spent the necessary time going back into Agatha's past and diving deep into her progression from "scared child who does horrible things out of desperation for survival" to "cutthroat witch who is more than eager to hurt and betray others for her own personal gain". But we get to see it happen to Billy over the rest of the season and maybe even multiple MCU projects!!! Or maybe we'll get to see him make different choices. Maybe Agatha will be able to give him the chance no one gave her. Maybe history doesn't have to repeat itself. Maybe Billy's journey will give Agatha the chance to change her own story once and for all.

Idk this is really rambly and maybe my opinion will change as I think about it more but my first reactions are positive. Yeah on a meta level it sucks that the wlw couple is moving so slowly in their own show while the young, conventionally attractive mlm couple got to kiss within their first few minutes of screentime and they probably could have put in the effort to intentionally combat the miserable lesbians trope. But on a story level, I'm personally glad they're not rushing Agatha and Rio's arc. They're definitely going to get their moment but the reason they're so compelling is because of their history and the tragedy between them. We don't have all the details of what really happened between them yet but I don't think it's something you can just kiss and make up about. Billy and Eddie are teenagers with no real baggage between them. Agatha and Rio have possibly centuries of hurt and anger and betrayal to work through Let Them Cook! It'll be that much sweeter and their relationship is one of the CORE overarching plots of the show you don't want them to rush it. (Also I personally am too ace for the "we're gonna make up by having hot sex about it" type of conflict resolution and would have hated if Agatha and Rio were intimate before sorting at least some of their shit out but that's just me ik a lot of people would have enjoyed it and I'm sure it could have been really compelling but I actually cannot stand those kinds of plots most of the time.)

Also just keep in mind that the only other named queer characters we've had in the MCU literally ever are Phastos and Ben in the Eternals and like. Yeah it shouldn't have taken this long for a queer lead but the massive jump??? We went from one character (out of like ten mains) whose partner has minimal personality traits and like five minutes of screen time to a show with two main character on-screen queer romances!!!! In the Marvel Cinematic Universe??? And one of them is a season-long complex and interesting story that is a central plot of the series and not just half-baked fanservice!!! And one is just sweet innocent love between kids who care about each other!!! I do wish wlw stories didn't always have to come with attractive cis gay men but do y'all understand how huge this is for the MCU????? It shouldn't have taken this long and we can definitely criticize the negative tropes the show falls victim to but net positive progress is always something to be happy about. If you're not familiar with the greater MCU and the history of Marvel in general just understand that this is actually insane for them and I'm so excited for the doors that just opened for future queer storylines, but that can only happen if we show Marvel that, yes we do want queer characters being openly intimate on screen. Be happy for Billy, keep being happy for Agatha and Rio during all stages of their story and maybe we'll get to see more of this!!!

#i am literally gnawing at the walls about billy and agatha they're soooooo yes please give me more of this #yes this is agatha's show and she should be the center of it #yes we needed to see billy's backstory for his character to be fully-formed and to do the comics justice #two things can be true at the same time #again it is really frustrating on a meta level that the wlw couple had to get sidelined for an entire episode on their own show #but i also would have been really mad if they'd butchered such an important queer marvel character as billy kaplan #yes it's a very common trope of the wlw characters always suffering and fighting while the mlm characters just get to be happy #and the writers should be called out for it and we should be upset about it because they really should know better by now #yes billy and eddie are a monumental moment for the mcu and we need to celebrate that #because if they only see us angry about the SECOND EVER QUEER MCU COUPLE they'll use it as an excuse to cut queer storylines in the future #if y'all give them an excuse to think the reason you didn't like billy and eddie was because they're gay #and we get another twenty years of queerbaiting in marvel because yall couldn't be happy about baby steps for once i'm going to start bitin #ALSO ALSO last thing i swear but agatha harkness is not queer in the comics they GAVE us a new wlw relationship PLEASE be happy about that #agatha all along #agatha all along spoilers #agatha harkness #billy maximoff #teen agatha all along #mcu

cracking open a new box of contacts is like cracking open a cold one with the boys except the cold one is the box and the boys are my eyes

#peach stuff #feels exactly the same tho #i accidentally procrastinated a lot in getting my prescription renewed (it had been expired for two years)#and then my supply of contacts ran out so i was forced to schedule a new eye exam #(because they won’t let you order prescription contacts unless your prescription is up to date)#and it was a little bit of a disaster but mostly fine - that was when all the queer people worked there and it was honestly very healing #i learned that my prescription was actually less than what i thought it was ?#and to be honest i think it’s because the last time i went to an eye doctor i was very anxious so maybe i just kept saying the wrong thing #but anyway. new contacts that are actually my prescription and they’re FRESH #just like a cold one. with the boys

happy 1 year anniversary to the election results that were so fucked they had me trying to take my mind off of things by watching what seemed like a toxic chinese queerbait show only to find something far more thoughtful and genuinely queer and interesting than expected and end up watching a bunch more unrelated things that are talked about in vaguely the same realms of the internet and then watch bad buddy twice in a row and fall into an endless bingewatch of thai media (some of which is mediocre, some of which is bad, much of which is simply pretty good, and some of which is genuinely incredible) and go, well, it would be a waste of all this language input i'm accidentally giving myself right now if i didn't at least learn a few words. thus accidentally locking myself into watching even more thai media because now i gain serotonin from hearing a sentence i know i could write

#this is about the dutch general elections of 2023. i know another election is probably still on most people's minds #it feels WILD that it's only been a year. and at the same time. the government they eventually formed based on those votes #is still hanging in there. and it feels like THAT's been going on for way longer than a year #*#ah well in happier news! i think it's the way part of me is forever roaming the internet in 2011 #but even when a BL (or GL! which is finally picking up!) series is bad. or just boring.#there is something in me that can't help but go !! oh my god? there's a hundred of these out there??#and we can argue definitions and representation and fetishization. but there are So Many queer people working on them these days #and not all but many of these stories are insightful and kind and clever and have a very queer beating heart inside of them #(and there's also something to be said for queer trash tv. that has a place! but i won't get into it)#and this is really truly only a thing of the past few years!!! this did not exist when i was a teen!!!#i'm still so young but i'm EASILY old enough to remember that. and now All Of That is just out there. often on youtube for free #if you are a teen TODAY you don't need to pick between settling for watching tara die on btvs. watching ianto die on torchwood #or watching queer as folk. which is not a knock on qaf but it's not necessarily tv for teens #instead there's like. dozens of queer people on modern western tv! there are ever more queer movies where nobody dies!#and there's just a goddamn fucking impossible-to-watch-in-one-lifetime amount of guaranteed happy end BL series out there #and it's insane!!! that is insane to me!!!#and is also maybe a good thing to remember in current times. things can and do change for the better #sometimes in ways you might not expect. sometimes you might not even know it's happening. but it does

2011 was a huge year for trans rights in Neopia because 5 yooyuball players' pronouns changed that year: "Poke" Cellars and Meela Kitah from Kiko Lake, Minae Mitora from Terror Mountain, Ilsa Ellits from Meridell, and Erli Quinnock from Brightvale

#neopets #neotag #altador cup #mine #as always my info comes from bookofages and i owe jn my life #actually speaking of. i think that's the year faerieland's colors changed too?? lots of stuff getting revamped #i knew antola wasnt the only one whose gender changed but i didnt realize everyone else i was thinking of was in the same year sdfkjf #i had been wondering why antola was the only one who got a shoutout and my guess is whoever was writing flavor text for that tournament #didn't pay much attention and it stuck. but yknow what it should be canon anyway.#i dont even know when antola's pronouns changed bc that was the year before i joined shenkuu. he might also have been that year #minae is the only trans girl btw. we need more new players also so we can have more #kiko lake currently tied with shenkuu for most (tentatively confirmed) queer characters #ig we'll see what dacardia is like

Do people not realise that a person doesn't suddenly gain full maturity and knowledge of everything when they turn 18?

#Another day another 'minors shouldn't be allowed in fandoms' post #and whilst yes I do think it is important to make sure content that a minor should not be viewing isn't viewed by one #fandoms are communities at their core #oftentimes a child doesn't have a good community around them to express their interests #(y'know since a lot of people in fandoms are queer and or neurodivergent)#and then you vote to exclude them from spaces where they can interact with people of similar interests for what?#And what will you do when they turn 18?#Suddenly welcome them with open arms?#Why would you expect them to feel welcome when less than a year prior they were shunned for their age #or will you find some other arbitrary reason to exclude them?#And people wonder why someone would have a negative opinion of fandoms #'but they aren't mature enough' For what?#What aren't they mature enough for?#To be on the internet? trust me they go through the same spiel every year about internet safety #To use Ao3 without causing drama? Nope. When I was new I looked up tutorials for how to use Ao3 and learned about the culture from them #All it takes is educating someone for them to learn #even if you yourself don't want to educate people yourself uplift people who are willing to #all it took for me was one video on fandom etiquette #And don't act like there aren't grown adults who will cause drama for funsies #People can be shitty no matter what age #do we exclude everyone from fandom for the mere chance they could be shitty? No.#And don't get me started on people who complain about minors writing fanfic #what is wrong with it? They're having fun. What else is there to it #Let kids have a positive environment chances are they're not getting one at home #welp this derailed #the only cringe thing here is making fun of children #I see any of you fucks doing that its the guillotine for you

Ugh not to be like it’s been 5 years: LET IT GO.

But. It’s been FIVE YEARS. And we’ve been friends but the only thing you talk about is that conference we attended together that I can’t even remember anything but seeing bunnies on campus and that it was my first time taking a taxi alone.

I’ve moved on. I can’t remember it anymore to hold these grudges. I can’t hold onto those extra grudges that I’m not part of. I can’t remember what they did until you rehash it. (Also omg LISTING OUT NAMES?!? I don’t even remember almost half these names at all)

#shattered fragments #whining #anyway I’m not replying to a message that says ‘I hate these people’#which. I vaguely remember racism as a thing that was one of the issues which is fair but there were other things I can’t remember #bc it was FIVE YEARS AGO.#I don’t even think the conference exists anymore #like. we live in VERY DIFFERENT PROVINCES #YOU NEVER HAVE TO SEE THEM AGAIN #EVER #YOU ARE SEVERAL PROVINCES AWAY FROM ALL OF THEM #PLEASE SIR COULD YOU MAYBE TALK TO idk. therapist instead. im kinda sick of this one point in EVERY single conversation we’ve ever had #and also in our text based conversations too #(ok. other than being queer and asian we have. like. nothing in common tbh).#and it feels so shitty to say but I’m only like 70% sure of their pronouns. bc it’s not in the ig and it’s been. five years.#things that make me happy #ugh.#like we could talk about food #but then it’s back to conference food and I can’t fucking remember any of it #complaining about work is an option I suppose #I just. if I want to keep rehashing the same negative shit over and over. not to the same person unless they say they’re ok with it #and honestly. it just brings me down.#I have enough stuff to worry about and regret without a conference FIVE YSARS AGO.#I REGRET ENOUGH DROM WHAT I REMEMBER AS A CHILD #I DONT NEED TO FUCKING ADD SOMETHING THAT WAS MOSTLY JUST A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR TRAVELLING ALONE FOR ME TO IT

reason 846 i hate job interviews: just had a mock interview at a training place and part of the feedback was that i could have dressed smarter for it, by which they meant 'a shirt and trousers' and like. i was wearing womens smart office wear that i have worn to office jobs before so i have to assume they meant 'wear mens office wear', and i just think im gonna have to ask them what they think i should do toward that end because that just does not have an easy answer

#dibi #like you can say 'oh just say fuck em and wear womens office wear' but like. this person knew that i go by Miss neproxrezi surname #they had the same amount of info re: my gender identity and presentation that prospective employers have #so if they did not feel i was dressed appropriately for an interview i have no choice but to address that #like. i have had this exact feedback from an actual interview before. that my actual work clothes were not right #& again i think their view was i should be wearing mens office wear to the interview #and i do not want to start wearing a fucking shirt and tie to interviews #i am comfortably butch but those are just not clothes i wear #gonna ask the training people what they think i should do #the good news is this was almost the only issue they could find #said my mock was one of the best theyve done #but like. fuck me #pretty soon i'll have been on estrogen two years #and i get it! i wear button downs and jeans and no makeup and i have a deep voice! i do not blame her for not getting it!#but it pisses me off that my presentation - that i am wholly comfortable with - is just not understood by so many people #my queer experience out there in the real world face to face is just.. its just lonely as fuck man

Oh cool, iZombie season 5 just gave Don E. a teenage girlfriend. Can't have proper queer rep, but *that* is fine, apparently.

(unsure why I'm still watching, given that my partner told me how bonkers the ending is. Well, I still haven't seen the Blaine-as-femme-fatale episode, I guess that's why)

#ugh #iZombie #seriously it stops being good after season 3 #anything after that is just apocryphal #Don E.#Darcy Bennett #(lol what a name. Haven't noticed any particularly P&P like behaviours in her yet though)#I was shocked to watch an episode of Roswell: New Mexico from around the same time which just has main characters being queer #so it's definitely not because it's a few years old at this point

just saw someone i follow reblog a post that called bi lesbians/mspec lesbians bigots… checked the dni of the person who made the post and sure enough they’re an exclus. needless to say the exclus has been blocked and that person i was following has been unfollowed. kill the cop in your heads y’all, it doesn’t fucking matter what terms someone uses for their identity. and bi women were also considered lesbians before terfs kicked them out. so.
