May Prompts (15) Nightmare

The Luckiest Girl in the World (chapter 15)

Summary: Rosie tells us about her family's sanctuary that is 221B, but also about wars over board games. In the end, it's the story about someone else who also needs a safe haven.

Fifteen Years Old

I felt oddly protective of our home from an early age, and I didn’t want it invaded by my friends. Not that I was ashamed of all the bric-a-brac, Papa’s experiments, or how different it was to other homes I’d visited. It was just...our space, a safe haven where we all could lower our guards, Papa in particular. Over the years, his fame had increased exceedingly, and his derisive façade kept journalists and fans at bay. The moment he entered 221B, he discarded said façade by hanging his coat on the peg.

Another thing to consider, were the battles that always ensued whenever one of us challenged the others to a board game. Having an outsider witnessing that…well, we’d surely be sectioned for life if that were to occur.

(More likely, the person would be granted vicious dreams for eternity.)

But as Papa points out; there’s always something. In this context, someone. My friend Liwia. Her parents were Polish, and moved to England two years before Liwia was born. They were Catholics, and having to adjust to a society that was more liberal toward queer people than Poland, took its time. When Liwia came out to them as a lesbian the year prior, they’d tried to pin it on her friendship with me. I was after all related to quite a few of the sort and Liwia’s parents seemed to believe the ludicrous lie that queerness was contagious.

It took them some months to get over it, but once they realised that Liwia still was her normal self, they discarded the original idea of sending her to Poland to live with her strictly religious grandparents. Neither of the Barczykowskis was prepared when said grandparents announced that they were visiting London that summer, staying for at least a fortnight.

***

Dad and I were in the middle of a Scrabble war, when Papa came home. Not that we realised it at the time. We were too engrossed in arguing.

“It’s bloody unfair to use all the medical terms and diseases you can come up with to win, you know!” I exclaimed accusatory.

“Oh, come now, Rosebud,” Dad teased, looking as pleased as the cat that ate the canary.

“Don’t you dare Rosebud me,” I said through clenched teeth.

Dad only used that pet name when we were at war over the board games, and it rubbed me up the wrong way.

“Children,” Papa chastised, barely able to suppress his glee.

“You’re home,” we said in unison.

I waited for the inevitable eyeroll and his obviously, but none came.

“We have a guest,” Papa said and waved a hand, and that’s when I saw Liwia standing by the sofa wringing her hands, a look of despair in her eyes.

I leapt to my feet and walked over to hug her tight.

“What’s wrong?” I whispered into her hair.

She explained about her grandparents, and with just one look over at Papa, receiving a nod, I turned back to assure my friend that she could stay at Baker Street for as long as she needed, if her biased grandparents started to make her life a living nightmare.

“Thank you, Mr. Holmes and Doctor Watson,” Liwia said politely.

I could literally see the relief wash over her, the tension in her shoulders dissipating and a tiny smile forming on her lips.

“Please, call us John and Sherlock,” Dad said.

Then he turned his attention to me with a devilish grin.

“Does this mean you declare defeat, Rosebud?”

“You wish!” I snarled and left Liwia’s side to go into battle with my father.

(Before you go all bananas on me - this will continue tomorrow...)

(Very inspired from a fic from a different fandom that I can definitely see fitting here)

College student Dream is utterly obsessed with his professor Gadling, who is so handsome and warm and engaging, and was so supportive of Dream when he came out as trans, and who (Dream’s fairly sure) has such a soft spot for him already that surely it wouldn’t take much to woo him, if it weren’t for their age difference and status as teacher and student. He’s willing to do anything to claim him, even if it’s underhanded. So he hatches a plan: if Dream can not only trip Hob into bed with him, but also have Hob get him pregnant, then surely the conscientious professor would take responsibility. Once Hob is successfully baby-trapped, then Dream can get to work on making him fall in love (speed run straight to married honestly if he can manage it).

Besides, once Dream pictured Hob as a dad, Hob caring for their children, Hob impregnating him, breeding him, his fate was sealed. Hob just has to belong to him and give him all the babies.

Dream downloads a fertility-tracking app, takes all the supplements, and bides his time for the perfect moment. He also starts dressing a little more sexily in Hob’s class, invading his personal space a little more when they talk, nothing incredibly overt, but just enough to plant the idea in the professor’s mind that Dream is both desirable and interested (part of him hopes that Hob might catch on and pounce on him about it, but he’s not too disappointed when this doesn’t happen as the main point is to lay the groundwork so that phase 2 doesn’t appear to come out of left field for Hob).

The night Dream sees that he’s at his peak fertile, that he’s at his most likely to become pregnant that he’ll ever be, he goes to the White Horse Tavern, the pub he knows Hob lives above and frequently spends his evenings at, and “happens” to bump into Hob there. They share a few drinks, and Dream pretends to be more affected by the alcohol than he actually is, faking some wooziness and a need to lie down for a bit. Hob is concerned and tipsy, so he thinks nothing of it to offer up his flat upstairs.

Hob Gadling has been guiltily but helplessly drawn to his student Dream from the beginning, and his defenses are even further down that night thanks to the drinks. So when he helps a “drunk” Dream up to his flat and onto his bed (clearly because it’s darker and quieter than the couch, obviously), and Dream tearily begs him to stay with him he agrees without hesitation. And when Dream suddenly climbs into his lap whining how much he needs Hob, he folds like wet paper.

-🪽anon

Oh I dooooo love a sneaky sneaky Dream!!

Dream doesn't have a lot of positive role models in his life so it's probably no surprise that he gets attached to Hob. Hob is kind and hot (and queer) and Dream is absolutely smitten. Honestly if he could just bide his time a little, Hob would probably actually make a move on him eventually (after Dream has graduated), but Dream can't wait that long and he can't risk Hob finding someone else in the meantime, so he has to get his man!

Thus he pulls off his grand plan: he comes off his birth control in advance, he tracks his cycle, and he makes his move on his man. Hob is just drunk enough to make some slightly risky moves but sober enough to know what he's doing. He feels very protective over Dream already, so he's got no reason to hesitate in taking him upstairs to recover from his dizzy spell. He wouldn't want some creepy guy picking Dream up in his vulnerable state...

Dream’s heart is racing so much as he slides into Hob’s lap. He can't believe he's actually got this far, and that Hob is letting him do this. Meanwhile Hob is desperately trying to persuade Dream to slow down without rejecting him outright. He just likes Dream too much to actually say no. For all his moral standards, he can't help but slide his hands around Dream’s waist and hold him there. Dream is an adult, right? He can make adult choices if he wants to?

Admittedly Hob might not be morally perfect, but he certainly knows how to fuck. He bounces Dream in his lap like he weighs next to nothing, and he's the first person in the whole world actually make Dream cum. He takes this as a good sign for the future. That, and the fact that Hob seemed to completely forget about using a condom.

Dream feels so loved and affirmed in his own body when Hob calls him a good lad, tells him he's got the sweetest, most lovely boypussy. He can't wait for Hob’s seed to take inside him. Hob is going to be the most wonderful daddy to their baby, Dream just knows it <333

18. “I shouldn’t be in love with you.”

and/or

24. “Are you really going to leave without asking me the question you’ve been dying to ask me?”

Hey Anon! I decided to go with #18, "I shouldn't be in love with you." I have literally been thinking on this for a MONTH about #24 and coming up with nothing ;^( But I hope you enjoy what I wrote for prompt #18!

CW for drug use (weed), 'queer' used as a slur, slut shaming, and also Steve having bad parents (specifically a bad mom).

AO3 Link

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dew-kissed grass tickles Steve’s skin, making him shiver every few minutes, each time the summer wind whips in just the right way. He’s laying in his backyard in gym shorts and a crop top, leaving the majority of his skin exposed to the elements.

Oh, and he’s passing a joint back and forth between himself and Eddie, the two of them giggling about what could only be described as ‘everything and nothing, all at once’.

An uninvited thought invades his mind as Steve takes a drag from the joint: If his mother saw him right now, she’d be furious.

But she’s not here. Eddie is. And that wonderful, warm, floaty feeling he gets whenever he’s high is here, too.

How could a woman who Steve hadn’t seen in three years ruin a moment like this? Steve tries to steer his thinking in a different direction, tries desperately to focus on Eddie’s current tangent instead (he’s rambling about… bugs?).

His efforts are wasted, and the slice of heaven that he was previously basking in is ripped away, replaced with a mental manifestation of his mother.

She’s in a long, pale green dress. She always appears that way when Steve pictures her berating him. A pristine white apron is tied around her waist. Her blonde curls frame her face delicately, and her painted red lips form a picture-perfect scowl.

“How dare you deface our family home like this, Steven? Smoking marijuana in our backyard. If I didn’t raise you, I’d think you were brought up by a pack of wolves.”

Steve rolls his eyes. She didn’t raise him. That’s, like… the whole point.

"And that outfit, Steven. Honestly, are you trying to dress like a whore? Or does that come naturally to you now?"

And… okay, that one hurt a little. These shorts were comfy, and Eddie loved how he looked in this shirt! It wasn’t him sexualizing himself, he was just trying to feel comfortable and confident around a friend.

"Oh… I see how it is." His mother’s voice grows cold and her red scowl shifts into a sickening grin. Steve shivers, despite there being no summer breeze making his skin prickle in just the right way. "Marijuana. Slutty clothes. The way you’re practically sitting in his lap." (They were about a foot apart, barely close enough to hold hands, but whatever). "You’re flirting with him."

Damn, Steve really hated how perceptive his inner-monologue-taking-the-form-of-his-chastising-mother was.

“I could spend the time berating you about being a queer. Or about your choice in men. Or about the way you’re too chicken shit to even tell him how you feel. But… honestly Steven, you’re not worth the effort. The only thing you’ve ever succeeded at is making me disappointed, and if you form a relationship with this boy, I’m sure he’ll come to think the same of you."

At the end of his mother’s tirade, Steve finds himself holding back tears. She doesn’t even think he’s worth the effort.

She’s not here, Steve’s brain reminds him. But Eddie is. Steve blinks, and his mother is gone, quickly replaced by the shining stars in the Hawkins night sky.

Steve smiles to himself. Eddie’s still here.

His brain-to-mouth filter, though? That got left behind about fifteen minutes ago.

“Hey.” Eddie’s voice jolts Steve from his internal ventures. Steve glances over at him and feels like he’s staring at the sun when he sees Eddie’s smile. Eddie’s lying on his side, facing Steve, the residual concern on his face slowly disappearing. “There you are, Stevie. I noticed you were more space-y than usual. Where’d you go?” Eddie reaches his hand over while he speaks, brushing a stray hair out of Steve’s face.

“I shouldn’t be in love with you.” Steve blurts in response, then slaps a hand over his mouth. Shit, he didn’t mean to say that out loud.

“What?” Eddie’s hand stills, and his golden smile slips into an unreadable expression. Which… fair, considering they’re not even in a relationship, and Steve both confessed his love and what probably sounded like regret in a single sentence.

“I-I shouldn’t be in love with you. It goes against, like, everything that my parents ever tried to instill in me. My mom especially.” Steve grimaces, then shifts his body, turning to lay on his side. Eddie’s face (Eddie’s lips), Steve notes, are mere inches away.

“But… you’re here. They’re not. She’s not. So… I don’t think I give a fuck about what my mom thinks. I think that I love you. No- I know that I love you.”

Eddie’s cheeks turn pink, and the corners of his lips quirk up in a shy smile. Eddie’s hand that was previously frozen next to Steve’s face moves to cup Steve’s cheek. “Yeah? Well, I think… I know that I love you, too.” Eddie leans forward as he whispers, punctuating his admission with a kiss.

Steve melts into it, bringing his hand up to rest on top of Eddie’s. When they part, Steve smiles against Eddie’s lips.

“You’re everything, Eddie.”

Eddie smiles back and presses a chaste to the corner of Steve’s mouth. “So are you, baby. You’re everything to me.”

Steve’s mom may have thought Steve wasn’t worth the effort, but y'know what? She wasn’t worth the effort, either.

Eddie, though? Eddie was everything. And at Eddie’s echoed sentiment, Steve finally felt like he was everything to someone, too.

i will never forget that st/eddie fan who said that thing about "a queer couple during the aids crisis" about st/eddie. it lives rent free in my brain as an ultimate batshit fantakes alongside that time someone told me i couldnt call myself queer because i didnt like a character who was canonically bi.

Oh, this makes my blood boil.

I hate it when people bring up the AIDS epidemic without any concern or consideration of context. Yes, realistically queer characters living during the 80s would be faced with a lot of new fears and stigma that would radically change their lives. It's not terrible to acknowledge that.

But.

This is not a story that recognizes that context in any meaningful way that you can use the AIDS epidemic as a "gotcha" for someone not caring about your queer interpretation of fictional characters. That's wildly inappropriate, and even disrespectful.

...and if we're looking at the actual context of the show, Will's struggle to come out makes total sense within this context considering all the anti queer rhetoric that would be on TV, especially from Reagan. It doesn't help that his best friend's parent is Pro-Reagan.

Furthermore, these same people are real silent about the canon homophobic abuse Billy endured from his conservative parent. Billy's ACE score and the lack of interventions in his life already point to a greater risk of contracting STDs and early death, but people joke about him being homophobic.

They're so willing to use a tragedy for points in a made up fandom war, but so unwilling to recognize the realities of queer people during that time who weren't respectable which shows in how they talk about other characters who could be queer and/or how they ignore homophobia in their faves.

And I'm not saying any of this to suggest that we should use the AIDS epidemic to talk about other characters instead. I would much rather it be left out of fandom debates. I just think that this particularly highlights the priorities of fans when they ignore the characters who did face homophobic abuse.

Reagan et al used similar rhetoric to demonize queer people, victim blaming them for their "behavior" and it's this kind of rhetoric that also saw a wave of respectability politics invade in queer, oh I'm sorry - LGBT - oh, I'm sorry - "LGB" spaces. It's ironically echoed in fandom discourse.

Like, either learn the history and take it seriously or shut up. Stop sorting characters into "good people who get to be queer as a treat" and "bad people who I say can't be queer because queer people have to be respectable." At the end of the day, the politicians don't care and they'll come for both.

...then getting mad that people don't like your queer interpretation of a character. Maybe it's not because they're homophobic, but rather because you're so goddamn annoying about it, especially when you use a fucking (ongoing) tragedy as armor against any criticism of them.

Heartstopper season 2 play-by-play analysis

Question: what is the absolute worst? Is it:

a) dating,

b) coming out,

c) parties, or

d) all of the above…

The answer (for me) is d. And this episode has all of the above, and it was like watching a nightmare… (I went on a few dates, all of them painful, but I don’t know if that’s just the nature of dating or if it’s because I’m acespec; also parties to me make absolutely no sense; also I tried coming out multiple times and it’s been the worst anxiety I’ve experienced, each time).

But let’s see how these things go for our lovely group.

EPISODE 3 - PROMISE

- I love that they did the “I know you and Charlie are really good mates” and Otis and Sai giving him the looks, and a kissing montage playing in Nick’s head with the huge letters GOOD MATES across it. Perfection.

- Coach Singh’s whole body language after walking in on Nick and Charlie kissing. And her being protective of Nick after realizing that he’s queer. “You don’t owe them that information”. It’s so reassuring for Nick to have another queer person, a queer adult, know, and for her to tell her that he doesn’t have to live with that pressure, that it’s difficult and it won’t always go well, but it’s not an obligation.

- Nick and Charlie being cozy in the library. Two of my favorite things. More of that please.

- I can’t tell you the giddiness I felt when I saw the Pride display and saw that there was an ACE book top and center. Also I’m so happy that we got so much James, and how fucking giddy he is about hanging out with Isaac. Two little bookworms matching each other’s energies.

- I love how Tao became the worst date by trying to be the best date, following the worst online advice, changing his appearance, and being so tense about everything being perfect, that he forgot about just being himself, which is precisely what Elle likes about him.

- All Charlie and Nick needed to get through their exams and coursework was to think about Paris, and being together in Paris.

- Every time Harry appears, he usually puts an arm around someone, like grabbing them, which, as Tao rightfully pointed out last season, is a hyper-masculine way of saying “I didn’t get hugged much as a child”. So imposing and annoying. Go to therapy, Harry. Stop invading people’s spaces, Harry. (I know the other boys do it too, like Otis did to Charlie in the first episode, and to Nick in this one, but the attitude behind it is completely different. But still, boys, stop just grabbing people like that, it’s so annoying.)

- “But I love you because of how annoying you are” is one of the sweetest things you will ever hear, and I felt so bad for Tara because of how Darcy reacted, literally running away from her feelings. Poor Darcy too. I think I can relate to the automatic reaction of running away from my feelings, running away from anything that was me having to be vulnerable. It gets better, and I love that in the end it’s just practice. The more you talk about your feelings, the better you become at it.

- New favorite ship unlocked: the teachers! “Are you also regretting signing up for this?” Don’t worry, you won’t regret it at all by the end of it…

- James being all giddy asking Isaac to the party, I’m sorry but he’s adorable, and therefore I’m kinda sad about how things turn out, but I hope we get more James in the future.

- The comedic performance of Mr. Ajayi failing to get everyone’s attention in a gentle manner and Mr. Farouk having to go “QUIET!” Which in itself is so funny. (Fun fact: a teacher in Northern Ireland actually won the Guinness Book of World Records for the loudest shout, and it was her shouting “quiet” at 121 decibels, about the same as a jet engine. Mr Farouk might not be as loud, but the way he does it definitely works.)

- Darcy’s “oh dear, oh nooo” and Charlie and Nick exchanging excited looks when they’re told that boys and girls can’t share rooms is so cute. “I know, heartbreaking, isn’t it?” Mr Farouk says with a raised eyebrow.

- Poor Imogen… she needs more girlfriends.

- Tao’s new aesthetic, as much as they made him try to look out of character, just… works… love the whole outfit, the whole vibe. He looks like he’d be in a Wes Anderson film, so it’s very appropriate that they’re going to one.

- And Darcy going “oh duuuuh”, just the worst‼ And Charlie shouting “your hair’s amazing!”

- I love the stark contrast between Tara’s outfit and Tori’s outfit, and I love them both.

- “Look after him or you die”. Aw Tori, being a good older sister. I want more Nick and Tori interactions.

- The comically large popcorns. “I hope you didn’t cut it for me”. Tao’s little laugh but then his look of terrible realization. Then his terrible attempts at being flirty. And then his whole rant about “they’re kids, so it’s obviously not going to last long term”, big foreshadowing.

- Sahar’s makeup and jacket, so cute. Metallic blue eyeshadow. The makeup game in this season is top notch.

- What is up with those boys pulling Charlie away? Seriously, what is this masculine impulse of throwing your arm around someone's shoulder, even when you don't know them???

- And what is up with Sai’s reaction to Nick saying “I need to talk to you guys”? This is a lot like the party in the first season, when Nick realizes that he’s not really the partying type, and he just wants to hang out with Charlie and talk. Here he just wants to talk to his friends and tell them something, but it is like the worst moment to do it, and he’s already feeling ill about the idea of doing it, and he’s really not the big loud party type of guy.

- Tao being so pent up about this one date going wrong. They’re both kids, like the protagonists in Moonrise Kingdom, and they really thought that it would work out from the beginning, and they’re upset that it didn’t, and that it must mean that it will never work.

- “I’m fundamentally unlikeable”. “I liked the old Tao”.

- Tori is so mean in that instant, but we get that it hinges on her fear of Charlie being hurt again, being bullied again.

- After a second viewing, the only overblown comment going around Nick’s head is Tori going “you’re bisexual, so you’re going to cheat on my brother?” (I know that the media tends to have a terrible habit of portraying bisexual characters as promiscuous, which is why Nick is such a lovely change, so I would get why this is insinuated here. But… not from Tori, and so far in the show, at least from my perspective, there hasn’t been anyone insinuating that Nick’s bisexuality makes him unreliable or promiscuous, but especially not Tori. Unless this has to do with a deleted scene... In any case, I expected him to think of her as accusing him of letting Charlie get hurt or something). But all the other things he hears in his head are spot on.

- Charlie coming in hot and shoving Harry away, because he probably still feels bad about not helping Nick when he was confronted with his brother.

- That one-on-one scene between Joe and Olivia is peak perfect Charlie-Sara interaction. More please.

- Also, is it me, or does Sara wear a lot of yellow? She's sunshine personified. (it's curious that, one of the few times we don't see Sara in yellow, is in season 1 when she's wearing blue when Nick is telling her about the date with Imogen, and she says "don't worry, the right girl will come along", and it might just confirm my theory that light blue represents heteronormativity, but coming from a person who turns out to be supportive).

- Nick and Charlie being all cozy, and Nick tiredly saying that he enjoyed Charlie telling Harry to piss off. And Charlie’s whole talk about that weird obligation we feel to come out to friends and family the moment you realize you’re not straight. I think it’s so lovely that the comic and the show emphasize this so much, because so often in media it’s become a whole thing about how you’re supposed to come out, and for it to be this big announcement, as if otherwise you're lying to everyone if you don't, and as if everything is going to be alright from now on as soon as you come out, and as if not coming out means that you’re afraid and a coward. And I love how much this season works through that, with Coach Singh and Charlie and Sara telling Nick that he doesn’t owe it to anyone. This whole season was perfect because of that.

This episode is brought to you by Date Dread™, Coming Out Anxiety™ and Party Fear™ (not just a Raleigh Ritchie song with which I identify way too much...)

Ooooh mind telling us about the stobin paranoia one? Or the country club meet cute?

Oh gawd, oh gawd; my dumbass critical anxiety (on top of being exhausted after working 32 hours in two days; tbh it's mostly that second thing) kept me from answering this until now.

I do want to remind whoever, including OP, that I don't really have anything more than bare bones synopses for any of the ideas I mentioned. Also, i haven't talked up a thing I've created in so long that I don't know if I remember how.

That being said, another Steddie acquaintance, @ataliagold (go read their Steddie things maybe?? They're very good, gimme just the right amount of yummy whump) asked me about both of these in PMs so I have shared a little bit about each and they liked both concepts a lot, which gave me some courage.

So, anyway, as for the Stobin paranoia fic, which I've wondered if perhaps "paranoia" is too strong a word but eeeh... Basically, it takes place right after Starcourt (maybe like the week following or so). It's pretty well-established that Steve and Robin were still at least a bit high and hopped up on truth serum during The Bathroom Talk, not to mention the memory blurring is probably even more effed up by Steve's 74th concussion in three years (lol... sorta), so Steve gets it in his head that he somehow forced Robin to come out to him and, knowing how important safety is for a hidden queer person, especially in a place like Hawkins, he starts spiraling and isolating from her. He doesn't deserve to have his person if he has to manipulate them into divulging their secrets to him after all, she's far better off without the resident douchenozzle, Steve Harrington, invading her space and privacy and having any intimate (platonic) expectations of their relationship. While he's all in his own head about that, Robin starts coming around to check on him, only to realize she's being ignored. This causes her to eventually start spiraling too - of course the great King Steve couldn't handle being friends with a fucking dyke, of course he would snub her after the smoke and fog cleared and he remembered that she'd spurned his advances, what a load of crock, she should have known better - thus their newly formed super bond starts having holes drilled into it... Anyway, the fic is about that whole misunderstanding and them trying to work through it. I just love that kinda trope 'cause I'm the worst.

As for the Steddie country club meet-cute, it starts off similarly to a couple other fics I've read here Eddie is forced to go straight (financially only) after Reefer Rick is arrested and his supply dries up and the cops have hounded him and Wayne enough times and etc. He ends up employed at the semi-local country club predominantly as a caddy. Decent pay, some tips even, enough downtime while standing on the sidelines and aimlessly following his current client around that he can think up some future campaign ideas... and, early on, another perk introduced is his good-looking apparent coworker (who he unfortunately crosses paths with while coworker is being reamed by one of the more infamous club members). He and Steve pass each other a few more times and begin engaging, closing some distance until it's unfortunately revealed that Steve is NOT his coworker and is in fact closely related to the rich fucker that was seen yelling at him on day one. He had a good excuse for being in uniform that first time but has obviously decided to lie in order to fuck with Eddie every day since.

Well, anyway, those are the general premises of those particular fics. I feel like I gave too much away but also like I didn't really say anything at all. Lol.

Bracket H Round 1

Poll 24

Skitt & Ena & Olive (@bootsieboots) vs. Apricity Nix (@decapod-appreciator)

495. Skitt & Ena & Olive (@bootsieboots)

skitt usez any, ena usez they/it/she (bc of her eczema), and olive usez he/they

The TL;DR 4 them is that theyre little fucked up guys living in a circus 2gether. Skitt is a repressed traumatized clown amphibian, Olive is a sweet jackalope who acts like an asshole as a defense mechanism, and Ena is a chaotic little shithead w a short fuse, whos actually secretly the mom friend. I like to put them in2 situations in my head and then never write said situations down. Also theyre all aspec and trans.

Skitt:

he is simply a little guy! (puts him thru the horrors puts him thru the horrors p) Oh, hes a bit fucked up actually.

-a mishmash of basically any amphibian features i think r cool! It is also a clown! Isnt that silly? Well its actually 4 trauma reasons. Lol. lmao.

-has rejection sensitive dysphoria and wants every1 2 love him so much all the time. Cries and throws up when it inevitably doesnt work out.

-ADHD!

-super in2 fashion and makeup. Can u guess why? Trauma reasons, of course! Honestly most of her hobbies r rooted in wanting 2 escape something.

-i cant think of anything else non-spoilery 2 put here. Uhm. ze really likes bubble baths and swimming.

Olive:

A little skrunkly autismic sourpuss. He wishes that he cud b more sincere w people sometimes, but every past attempt has been met w people shutting them down, in 1 way or another. The only person in the world he feels even mildly comfortable around is Ena (and later on in the story, Skitt).

-acts like an asshole around most people bc theyre used 2 being seen as one. And by asshole, i mean a little quiet, sulking, wet cat in a corner of the room who makes angy faces at any1 who invades their space.

-mute! This is bc bunnies do not have vocal chords. Communicates thru sign language and annoyed noises. Screams when overstimulated. Yes, bunnies can scream, just not using vocal chords. There r also other sounds they can make! (mostly annoyed sounds. He does purr as well! Just like a real bunny)

-very in2 music. Plays the harmonica and other woodwind instruments that r easy 2 steal. Can they play good? Uhm. havent decided yet actually.

-has a sort of heart shaped facial scar and a broken antler he got from entirely mundane causes (antler is permanently broke, dont question how that works bc i dunno).

-very incredibly touch averse, only tolerates Ena’s touch. theyre also fat and very fluffy! Great 4 cuddling! But he wont let u. Sorry.

Ena:

Money gremlin!!! Chaotic anarchist motherfucker!!! Probably owes u money! Is currently being gay doing crime. In this world, 1 does not have to pay/steal 2 survive, but Ena does it anyways 2 fuck shit up and stir the pot.

-escaped from a shitty orphanage w Olive.

-horrible anger issues. If Olive is a sourpuss, Ena is a bomb waiting 4 an excuse 2 go off. This is bc in the orphanage, they learned that no 1 wud listen 2 them unless they scratched and fought and clawed and bit and punched. (and shocked!). Shes generally chill tho, just, its easy 2 get on her bad side.

-sorta the therapist friend, bc its good at telling ppl what they want 2 hear. Her charismatic attitude also helps when scamming people.

-uses prosthetics! In this world, aquatic animals r given the ability 2 stay on land 4 extended periods of time via prosthetics! Want 2 know more? Ask me :>

-basically blind. Electric eels have awful eyesight, and shes no exception! She can only see bright lights and colors. They use electrolocation 2 get around. (please ask me what it is if u dont know, i am v happy 2 infodump abt anything oc related!)

Remember kids, a vote 4 my ocs is a vote 4 disability, queerness, anarchy, the found family trope, little guys being put in situations therye entirely unequipped for, furries, and much more!

Blue eyes with froglike pupils. Minty-green, short, curly hair. A classic clown makeup look (off-white facepaint, a clown nose, and pennywise-esque makeup lines going from the bottom of his eyebrows to the sides of his mouth.

Most of their fur is darkish brown, while his belly, his inner thighs, and lower left arm is beige. their right arm, lower legs, and the top of their ears are black.

this site is so sensitive when i mention tae and jk together. like i even saw a tiktok naming their fav pairings and for everyone it was fine but when it was taekook they had to disclaim it was (pLaToNiC) was that not implied by the rest of your list?? ppl are so scared to mention them at all but if he's with another member its fine. its annoying and ppl are so transparent

i actually don't think tumblr is a primary suspect among the list of platforms where people move weird about taekook,.. but i'm speaking as someone in a little bubble of mutuals who are normal people lol. i also have never ventured onto the hellscape that is the bts stan side of tiktok so i can't speak on that either (besides seeing screenshots of people on there calling normal behaviors from jungkook 'red flags'... oof.) most of the bullshit, in my experience, stems from twitter where, like you said, even a simple mention of them hanging out together can end up with people accusing you of being a 'shipper' or a 'diet solo.'

this is going to be rambly so i'm putting it under a read more for the sake of not clogging people's dashes, but here are some of my thoughts on fandom culture/shipping in general:

oh real quick for for transparency sake, i'll start this off by saying: 1. i don't care about the relationship status of any of the bts members. they're single to me unless they officially and publicly state otherwise without any privacy invading force involved. 2. i have no problem with fans thinking/implying bts members are queer. lgbt fans finding comfort and comradery in their favorite people isn't a bad thing. :)

now for the actual post~

the fan dynamics on twt are so different and if you even mention taehyung and jungkook in the same sentence or say that they're very obviously close friends, you might end up on some of those 'defend [insert member here]' accounts where they encourage people to block and report for the slightest of 'offenses.' and like you mentioned in your post, that's over people talking about them platonically!! or over people who simply read fic without ever insinuating they think they're actually dating.

the puritanical culture that exists in very large parts of the bts fandom (and was present in the 1d fandom as well) is so weird to witness. we can all have differing opinions on whether or not rpf is 'good' or not, but unless someone is sending fanfiction to bts personally... it is harmless. and it will always exist. you will never enter into a fan space where independent, 'non-canon' content isn't being created by fans... and why would you want to? so much of fandom culture and history is about creation (and is also super lgbt centric!!)

in my opinion, the only people who still get up in arms about shipping discourse in 2023 are those under 18 or those who have no previous fandom experience. after stanning harry styles since 2012, i have heard the 'gay rumors made them drift apart!!!' argument so many times that it is genuinely nausea inducing. (and my opinion on that is... if you are that turned off by people possibly thinking you're queer to the point where it makes you end an important friendship, you either weren't very close to begin with or you're homophobic. likely a combination of the two. gay rumors are not, and never will be, offensive. they are not something you need to protect your fave from. why is this the argument so often touted by fans? why would you WANT your favorite person's self image to be so fragile that they end friendships over rumors? and that's not even getting into the fact that skinship and performance is built into the literal DNA - lol - of kpop...)

like. maybe i'm just too old to care now but i genuinely could not give less of a fuck if people think jk and taehyung are in a relationship. i do not care. they're both beautiful people who are clearly fond of each other. do any of us know how deep that fondness runs? nope! and we never will! and that's more than okay because these are grown men with personal, private relationships that we will never be privy to... as it should be. as long as boundaries are respected, i don't care what people think to be true.

can shippers get overzealous? for sure. do the people who analyze their every move need a new hobby? most definitely. but i think it's more than obvious now that the people who go to insane lengths to invade their privacy are stalkers or people trying to dredge up dating rumors between them and women.

it gets especially transparent when you have videos and rumors online about bts members dating people they've never interacted with publicly (using 'liskook' as an example, there are youtube videos with 10million views about them. one posted ten hours ago has 52k views) but i never see them condemned with the level of vitriol i see people using when it comes to jk and taehyung. is that not weird?

idk man. there's no concise ending to this post. fandom culture just intrigues me which is why i have so much to say about all this. it's especially interesting to me how it intersects with queer culture - or directly opposes it.

I wanna know more about your chaotic neutral human?!

Oh man where do I begin 😂

I started writing him in 2015, and that kinda blows my mind when I think about it. I've played him as a faerie prince, Utahraptor shifter, dragon shifter, werewolf, alien, Titan pilot, X-Men style mutant, and normal human. Well, as normal as he can get.

His name is Rowan Castañeda. He's Catalan (when he's from Earth, anyway). The 'default' version of him is the one where he's a raptor shifter, because that's where it started all those years ago. That version also goes by the name Red, because his dinosaur form has red feathers and reptilian eyes. His human form has red eyes and sharp canines, which are hidden by a magical charm that gives him brown eyes and normal teeth.

The best way to sum up Rowan is by saying he's a little crazy and a lot of fun. Very loud and outgoing, loves people. Has more than enough intellect and common sense to clearly and easily grasp something is a Bad Idea, and enough chaotic dumbass energy to decide he's gotta just go ahead with it anyway. Way too fond of bad puns, incapable of keeping his mouth shut when he can comment on something he shouldn't. Loyal to the death, curious about everything, isn't sure how he hasn't been poisoned by food from sketchy street vendors, and interrupts conversations to point out cats. His main interests include dinosaurs, space, Star Trek, historical novels, and monster movies (the cheesier the better). Don't touch his hat or invade his personal space unless you're looking to get your ass kicked, which will almost certainly involve biting. Fluent in Latin and will bitch people out in it (or will ramble about how unbelievably smoking his wife is, Gomez Addams style).

His playby is Óscar Jaenada, originally from The Losers. This BTS gif from (it was an interview I think?) immediately cemented the idea of a playby for him bc it was so exactly what I had in mind. Cocky little fucker who would suckerpunch God to protect his family, or even if it just seemed like a good idea at the time.

He's bisexual and nonbinary, and grew up in Ripley, California with an older sister (Laura) and twin brother (Raul). His brother disappeared when they were sixteen, and a year later, Rowan was kicked out by his parents for being queer. He moved to Los Angeles to live with his uncle, a Marine Corps veteran, and Rowan followed in his footsteps by enlisting at eighteen. He became a highly skilled sniper but turned down promotions because he liked the job he had.

At twenty-one he impulsively married a girl named Amber, who he'd known for three hours. The next year, they had a daughter named Elena. She was born partially deaf and Rowan became fluent in ASL to communicate with her.

At twenty-nine, he was injured in the line of duty and got a medical discharge. His sister divorced a few months ago, and she and her daughter Alejandra moved to a new house with Rowan's family, since her ex was being a dipshit and Rowan wanted her to be protected.

He started college courses to become a paleontologist. (Yes, the dinosaur shifter has a dinosaur-related job. I think I'm funny.) He was active in fieldwork for another 5-10 years, depending on the timeline, before taking a job as a curator at a dinosaur museum so he could be home more and have more regular hours.

In my favourite version of his character, his new curator job was at a museum in Gotham, cause that town is clearly the first choice of any normal and well-adjusted individual. He was also an active vigilante, bc nobody believed the criminals saying a dinosaur attacked them, and he had zero concern of being connected to his illegal activities.

Bonus Rowan art from when he's older in his forties:

Disillusioned

An Owl House Fanfiction.

Luz has found out the sad truth about the author of her favorite series: Mildred Featherwhyle is a TERF. As president of the Gravesfield High Queer Alliance, she has to make a statement about it. As the owner of two Mildred Featherwhyle fansites, she also has to make a statement there. Fortunately, Camila, Vee and Masha are all there to support her.

TW: biphobia, TERFs, homophobia, Disillusionment with a hero.

A knock came at the door and Luz jumped. She’d been staring at a news article on her laptop for a long time. She had closed her eyes to think about it and had drifted into a spiral of thoughts that chased each other around and around in her head.

“Come in,” she said as she opened her eyes and spun around in her desk chair.

The door opened and Masha came in. They had their softball jersey on over dark black skinny jeans. When they turned to close the door Luz saw it was actually Vee’s JV jersey from the previous year with ‘Noceda’ printed above Vee’s number 5. Luz smiled; she should have known it was Vee’s jersey since Vee was wearing Masha’s 08 jersey from last year when she went to school that morning.

“Got a moment?” Masha asked. Luz nodded and Masha sat down on Luz’s bed across from her.

“What’s up?” Luz asked.

“I have a favor to ask you, but I think it’s going to be hard for you.” Masha sighed.

“Anything for you,” Luz said.

“Don’t say that too soon.” Masha blinked slowly, obviously screwing up courage.

“Oh no! You’re breaking up with Vee!” Luz’s mind immediately leapt to the worst thing.

Masha’s eyes snapped open.

“No, no, no, never!”

“No, it’s about that.” They pointed at Luz’s laptop.

Luz didn’t turn around. She knew what was on the screen.

“Yeah, it sucks.” She twisted in her chair and closed the lid on her laptop.

She sat with her back to Masha.

“What about it?” Luz finally asked.

Masha hesitated, then spoke firmly.

“Look, I know you’re not just a big fan. I know you’re actually a big name fan: Luzura1. I know you run the Good Witch Azura fanfiction archive and the ‘I Love Hecate’s Three Faces’ fan club page.”

Luz spun around so fast she almost fell off her chair.

“What? How?” She put her hands up on her face.

“Vee told me. She learned when you were away in the Demon Realm. You left your laptop open and she saw. She wasn’t prying; she just saw it. She told me. She probably shouldn’t have, but I can’t un-know it now.”

Luz sighed.

“Not her fault. What’s the favor?” She dreaded what Masha was going to say, already knowing the answer.

“As president of the GHQA, I think you have a duty to denounce her and make our position on this clear.”

“I—I know I do, but it’s hard. The Good Witch Azura meant so much to me; it was the book my dad gave me before…” Tears filled her eyes.

Masha reached over and took her hand.

“I know.” They squeezed Luz’s hand and Luz gripped their hand tightly, almost painfully.

“I can’t believe Mildred Featherwhyle’s a TERF.” Now the tears spilled down Luz’s cheeks.

“I mean, people have seen it coming for a while, looking at her Twitter likes and who she was following on social media. I didn’t want to believe it. I defended her when people started figuring it out and I should have known better; I saw the same links and likes they did.” Luz grabbed a tissue from the desk and wiped her eyes.

“But this…this is just out there. She really said that trans women are just perverts; that they just want to invade women’s spaces. That they just want to take women’s rights.” Luz’s voice was thick, not just with sadness, but anger, too.

“I hate to ask it of you, but coming from Luzura1 , it would have a lot more impact.” Masha leaned over and squeezed Luz’s hand again.

“I wish we’d met at the summer camp, too,” Luz said.

Masha laughed.

“But then you’d never have met Amity and I’d never have met Vee, so no to that.” They smiled at Luz.

“Yeah, but I wish we’d been friends then, too. I feel like I missed a good year.”

“Nah, you just had that good year in the Demon Realm.”

Masha stood.

“I’ll leave you alone, but if you need me, just text…or call if you must.”

Luz laughed. Masha never answered calls and often left texts on read for hours unless it was Vee; everyone knew it.

Masha got up and left. Luz slid over to the door, locked it and turned out the light. She sat in the dim twilight until it got dark, then she opened her laptop and started typing. She’d only been at it for a few minutes when Camila called up for dinner. Luz made sure her work was saved, locked her screen and went down to dinner. She immediately noticed that it was just her and Camila.

“No Vee?” Luz asked.

“She’s staying with Masha tonight.” Camila’s voice was too bright, too cheery.

“Is she afraid that I’m mad at her?” Luz asked.

“No, no,” Camila said, still too cheerily.

“I’m going to break the ‘no phones at dinner’ rule for a moment,” Luz said and pulled out her phone. She texted Vee.

Hey, not mad at you. If I’d seen something like that I’d have told Amity. ILY.

Vee texted back immediately.

ILY too…Sis

Luz laughed, Vee called her sis sometimes and it just made Luz smile, but it also made her crack up for some reason that she couldn’t say.

“Everything okay?” Camila asked.

“Yeah, just telling Vee that I love her and I’m not mad.” She put her phone away.

Camila sat down, took Luz’s hand and said a silent grace. Luz kept respectfully silent, but no longer bowed her head. Camila finished, let go of Luz’s hand and they dug in. Vee had made a rosemary-garlic sourdough bread that smelled amazing when Luz cut it, and Camila had made a seafood stew that was somewhere between a sancocho and a gumbo. They ladled it into bowls and sopped it up with their bread.

“What’s wrong?” Camila asked after a moment.

“Nothing’s…” Luz started to say, but Camila wagged her spoon at Luz.

“C’mon.”

“It’s Mildred Featherwhyle.” Luz’s spoon clanked back into her bowl as she dropped it.

“Oh, I saw that horrible stuff she said on Twitter.” Camila took Luz’s hand again and squeezed it. Luz squeezed back then returned to her food. She stirred the stew around and around in her bowl, just like the thoughts in her head earlier. The beautiful bread that Vee had made disintegrated into the stew.

“You should eat, mija.” Camila put her hand on Luz’s again to stop her.

“Sorry.” Luz ate a few bites, then put down her spoon and stared down at her bowl.

“It’s just that this is eating me up inside. Those books meant so much to me; dad gave me my first one. They made me realize it’s okay to be different, to be gay; to be bi; to be queer . They’re how I connected with Amity, and also with all the people on my websites. I looked up to her and now I see she’s not a good person like I thought she was.”

She sighed and ate another bite, then put her spoon down again.

“I don’t know what to do.” Tears sparkled at the corner of her eyes again.

“Just do what you know’s right in your heart. You’ll know when and how. Talk to your friends in the Queer Alliance; they’ll help.”

“Yeah.” Luz picked up her spoon again, but just stirred her stew around and around again. Finally, she stood up.

“I can’t eat right now. Sorry, mamá.” She covered her bowl with a lid and put it in the fridge.

“It’s okay. Let me know if I can help.” Camila stood and hugged Luz as she left the kitchen. Luz hugged her back tightly then went back to her room.

She closed and locked the door, sat at her desk and opened the laptop. She opened a new document and watched the cursor blink on the blank page.

On Off On Off On Off On Off

She shut her eyes, put her head in her hands and sobbed in the blinking light. When she looked up to get a tissue, she saw that nearly an hour had passed. She wiped her face, tossed the tissue in the garbage, and touched Amity’s photo. “Te amo, batata,” she whispered.

She touched the photo of Vee in her dirt-streaked softball uniform smiling next to Masha.

“Te amo, hermana.”

She closed her eyes for just a moment more and started typing. The words flowed in a torrent, a flood that spilled on the digital page. She didn’t pause to edit, but wrote from the heart. When she was done, she opened her contact list for the GHQA and sent her draft to all of them. Then she opened her DMs on her websites and contacted all of the moderators. Now, all she could do was wait. Almost immediately, her phone began to chime with notifications. Almost everyone told her to run with what she’d written. Some told her she was being reactionary. Some told her that she should wait and see if Mildred Featherwhyle retracted what she’d said. Two of the moderators for the Hecate fansite quit, one because they couldn’t support Mildred Featherwhyle anymore and the other because they thought Luz was betraying women to ‘the trannies and perverts.’ Luz wondered how they’d ever been a fan of The Good Witch Azura in the first place.

Vee texted her.

Looks good to me. Masha has some sources they’re gonna send you. I know this hurts, but it means a lot to both Masha and me

Luz half-smiled around a new set of tears. She’d just started to do some light editing when Masha’s list of sources arrived. She used info from some of them and added the links to the end of her posts. She started editing more heavily based on the feedback she’d gotten. She only realized she was hungry when her stomach growled and Stringbean woke up from her perch in the corner and flicked her tongue at Luz. Luz smiled at Stringbean and she leapt from her shelf onto Luz’s shoulder.

“You’re right; I should go eat.” She looked at the clock on her laptop. She’d been at it for hours. She knew she’d miss school tomorrow, but she also knew that her mom would understand. Luz crept downstairs to the kitchen, heated her leftover stew in the microwave and when it was almost done, threw a piece of the bread on top of it for the last few seconds. She could feel Vee’s disapproving stare about microwaving bread instead of toasting it even though Vee wasn’t here; she took her baking seriously and microwaving bread was a sin in Vee’s eyes.

Luz sat down at the kitchen table and ate mechanically, shoveling the stew and bread in. Stringbean rattled in her ear and she slowed down to enjoy her mother’s and Vee’s cooking. She held up pieces for Stringbean, who ate some of the vegetables, but none of the seafood. She’d never gotten a good answer if Palismen actually needed to eat, but Stringbean enjoyed it so Luz fed her.

She heard her mother’s steps on the stairs and a moment later, Camila sat down next to her.

“Have you slept at all?”

Luz shook her head.

“Nope, I’m acting like Hunter.”

Camila laughed at that. Getting Hunter to sleep was a chore. When he and Willow got married, Luz didn’t envy Willow Hunter’s restlessness.

Luz’s phone kept chiming with notifications, but she turned it upside down and the noise stopped.

Camila tapped it.

“Are those your mods?”

“And my friends from the GHQA. They’re replying to the draft I wrote of what I’m going to post on my sites.”

She finished her stew and put her bowl in the sink. Stringbean leapt off onto Camila who stroked her. Stringbean forced her way under Camila’s sleeping cap and Camila laughed at the Palisman on her head; Stringbean was just as silly and loving as her daughter.

“A couple of the mods quit and one of them said she’s going to post about what I’m doing on her personal website. She threatened to dox me.”

She turned to Camila.

“I’m going to probably have to dox myself to put this out, but I don’t want to hurt your business or you.”

“Oh, honey, it’ll be okay. We’re in Connecticut, not Texas. I won’t lose much if any business. Will you be safe?”

Luz shrugged.

“I’m not scared of trolls anymore; I think Grom cured me of that…or maybe monster-Belos did, I don’t know.”

“Do what you need to. We’ll deal with the fallout.” Camila stood and hugged Luz again.

“I have one more favor, mamá. Could I tell the story you told me about the Gay and Lesbian club at Manderlin College?”

Camila went stiff in Luz’s arms while she thought about it. Stringbean poked her head out from under Camila’s sleeping cap and flicked her tongue at Luz. Camila saw it out of the corner of her eye and relaxed.

“It’s been long enough. You can tell that story.”

“Thank you.” Luz squeezed her mom tighter and Stringbean slithered onto Luz’s shoulder.

Luz went back to her room and spent the rest of the night typing away. When Camila checked on her in the morning, Luz was slumped over her desk on folded arms with Stringbean watching over her from the closed laptop. Camila put a blanket over Luz, petted Stringbean and went downstairs to call the school and tell them that Luz wouldn’t be there today.

When Luz woke up that morning, she wiped her eyes, stroked Stringbean, who went to sleep on her corner shelf, then picked up her phone. She made her way through all the notifications and then made a last few edits to her docs before finalizing and posting them. Now all she could do was wait for the fallout.

Just after school let out that day, Luz’s phone started playing the song, “Basilisk” by Geno Lazeretti and she snatched it up. It was Vee’s custom ringtone and like Masha, Vee didn’t often call, preferring to text.

“Hey, sis,” Vee said.

“Hey,” Luz said, her voice low.

“You okay? You sound tired.”

“I was up all night writing.” Luz put the phone on speaker and put it on her desk.

“I noticed. Masha and I both appreciate what you did and I know it must have hurt, but it means a lot to them and me.”

“Thanks, Vee. It was the right thing. Sometimes the right thing hurts, you know?”

“Yeah.”

Vee paused and there was silence.

“If you don’t want to be alone you can come to Masha’s. I’m going to make spaghetti squash with that spicy tomato sauce you like and we’re going to play some Super Smash Brothers.”

Luz looked at the unread notifications on her phone and decided they could wait a little bit longer.

“Yeah, sounds good. I’ll be there around 6. Mom will enjoy having the place to herself for once, too, probably.”

“Okay, we’ll see you around six.”

“Vee, I love you; I’m glad you’re my sister.”

“Aw, I love you, too, Luz. Basilisk hug!”

“Stringbean says ‘shapeshifter hug pile!” back at you.”

“Bye.”

Luz texted her mom that she was going to eat at Masha’s and Camila would have the house to herself. She texted back a hug emoji a few minutes later.

Luz wanted Amity badly, but the portal’s scheduled opening wasn’t for two more days and they’d agreed to limit the number of emergency openings and this was painful, but not an emergency. Luz sat on her bed for a few minutes more, then got up to go shower away the previous day’s evil thoughts and the previous night’s bad dreams.

When she got to Masha’s, Vee greeted her at the door with a big hug, which Masha joined a moment later. The apartment smelled of roasting squash, spicy tomato sauce and garlic bread.

“Thank you,” Luz told both of them when they broke the hug.

“You’re welcome…sis,” Vee said.

Luz knew it would never be perfect , but with people who loved you like this, it could be better.

Finding the First Gay Kiss - Diary of a Big Ole Gay: 12/9/22

Hey whores sorry its been a minute I've been feeling enniu and spending money to fill my holes.

(this popped up when I typed in "any hole is a goal" so take from that what you will.)

I have also been watching gay shit so lets see where we left off.

(*checks notes*)

fuck its vingarne???? thats like so fucking long ago. ok well buckle in whores I'm gonna write as much as I can in the next half hour and then I have to get ready for a twitch stream where I you guessed it, watch more gay films, (twitch is just my username btw).

Coney Island (1917) dir by Roscoe Fatty Arbunkle

So this is one of the more transphobic films so far and honestly not the vibe. If you are like me and you keep looking up pictures of Fatty Arbunkle in drag for "research" then you will have seen him in a bathing outfit. In fact I saw a clip of this in disclosure and nobody chose to credit fatty arbunkle in this so I could watch.

The actually plot is beyond annoying we have the classic henpecked husband trope, (tbh I find the trope intresting just because its such a different marital dynamic then I'm used to seeing in film), who goes to coney island. Buster Keatons girlfriend just fucking leaves him cause he can't pay for tickets so he sneaks into the fair to do shaninagans. who the fuck cares its buster Keaton I would watch that man do anything.

at some point Fatty wants to go swimming but the clerk is fatphobic to him so the obvious answer to this problem is of course crossdressing. I still absolutely love how this is the solution for everything in these films its refreshing after growing up in the 2000s

also buster keaton does a backflip.

(FUCK MY BUSSY KING)

oh also some whore named st. john is in this, bitch we don't know her.

The actually cross dressing elements become quickly problamatic. Its like if fatty arbunkle did so wack cocaine and one of his orgys and dream walked into the mind of a 21st century terf before he wrote the script. its a lot of sexual predators, (fatty), invading women's spaces and men being "tricked" by fattys drag persona. and don't get me wrong its not like there isn't other gender shaninagans in these role reversal films but this one is just recognizable transphobic. Like it plays off tropes and narratives I recognize from modern discourse just in the same way that behind the screen was a recognizable "fairy" trope.

I Don't Want To Be a Man (1918) dir Ernst Lubistch

so this film sucks in the sense that I hate the characters and its super sexist but you do have this character in boy mode absolutely making out with a guy heres a quote from my LB review.

Its at this point we get to the stage of HOW GAY WAS IT! because essentialy what happens is that Occi gets drunk AF and starts making out with a dude.

Now I feel that even though objectively this was some straight shit since she identifies as a women its still siturationally queer, I've been watching a lot of these "Role-Reversal" comedies back to back and there really isn't a concept of passing in these films even in siturations in which a character is very clearly cross dressing, (Mabel's Blunder and the Porter from The ABC of Love) come to mind the characters are unable to distinguish them from there presentation. I also don't think that this suspension of disbelief is set specifically to this era either. Even modern films like ugh... Shes The Man present these cross-dressing as serving masc with the suspicion presented being about performance not presentation.

Side Note: A lot of these types of films absolutely reek with transphobic and homophobic "comedy"

So in the scope of the narrative and genre, I have to assume that Occi presents fully as male in these scenes and that the other characters are interacting with her in boymode. Which to me means that when the guy kisses her, thats gay. Its gay because he was had the absolute attention of kissing a man at the time dispite him not having all the available information.

Also he was like totally surprised when he found out she was a women so like honestly we stan this bisexual disaster right here.

like sure I don't love this film but like her DADDY being bisexual is kinda hawt.

Side note: I'm using the term daddy to refur to this love interest character who is present as moralizing and domineering. Its usually paired with a "wild child" who needs to be taught to settle down and you know be a "respectable women" think Angel and the Bad Man, theres this fucked up conflation of a male love interest as being both sexual desirable and paternal its very fruedian.

(I couldn't find that scene where Clint Eastwood beats his wife and its presented as totally chill so heres the only picture under "spanking" that isn't literal porn)

Yankee Doodle in Berlin (1919) dir F. Richard Jones

So yeah this is just a comedy where a guy dresses in drag. Bothwell Browne was a female impersanator from europe and while I don't believe he had very many film gigs he was of a similar celebrity as Julien Eltinge. Eltinge himself starred in a similar propaganda flick whose name escapes me.

These films were playing off of the public interest of vauldeville and female impersanation so its a lot more family friendly drag show then any thing queer and subversive.

Interesting history note but not great otherwise.

Ander die Als Anderan {Different from the others} (1919) dir. Richard Oswald

ok so I have exactly one minute to finish this blog so I'm just gonna paste the whole ass history of this film from my working script on the subject.

Ok so I was really excited to get to this film but first I need to talk about post world war 1 Germany, yaasssss bitch, its the part of every video that I just accidentally bring up the rise of Fascism, woopsie. But First Homophobia.

This film is heavily concerned with the appeal of section 175 which those who know there gay history immediately recognize. Section or paragraph 175 was a german law that and I’m simplifying here, criminalizes Homosexual Activity. It was based off of medieval anti-sodomy laws and during different parts of Germanys history it has existed in more lenient and draconic measures.

This measure was protested by a variety of people notable the Scientific Humanitarian Committee which was founded in 1897 and the World League for Sexual Reform in 1921 both founded by one Magnus Hirshfield. Hirshfield was a sexologist and while he wasn’t the only person or first person involved in this fight he was very influential. Now once again simplifying but a pet theory that was going around europe at the time was this idea of degeneration. Bitch do I need to explain eugenics to you. Basically Mendel was like hey vetch genetics exist and then fifty years later people were like actually the queers are a social contagion. They were considered degenerate, you know weak stock, like a runt dog or a horse with club foot, the merciful thing would be to take it out behind the woodshed.

So Hirshfield with his queens and eggheads were like um actually Reich und Lander being homosexual isn’t literally a suicide gene meant to destory civilization its actually just a natural variation of humanity. Hirschfield referred to it as being a sexual intermediary or Third Sex, this notion of being between the dicometric poles in nature, Your’ve may have heard the phrase Sexual Invert as well all from the same well you get it.

In 1919 Hirshfield founded the Institite fur sexualwissenkraft, which was a non-profit dedicated to researching queer identity and also provided education and medical resources, for instance being involved with the transition of Danish Painter Lili Elbe. During the same year an austrian director by the name of Richard Osward teamed up with hirshfield to make a Aufklärungsfilm, or sexual enlightment film. Basically an education film about a taboo subject like drugs or the gays.

The film was supposedly very successful but in 1920, the republic established a censorship board and Different from the Others was reduced to only being able to be shown to clergy and doctors for educational purposes. There was however a shortened version included in another documentary called Laws of Love in 1927 that just so happened to make its way to Ukraine. Keep a pin in that.

Unfortunately as we all know in 1933 The Nazis official took power and in may of the same year The German Student Union called “Action against the Un-German Spirit” which called for the destruction of any work that went against nazis ideals, Hirshfield being a Jewish Kinkster was obvioiusly on the list, The German Student Union broke into the Institute fur Sexualwissenkraft and tore down the thousands of books, films and other documents and burned them including of course the full version of Anders als die Anderen. Like that in one day in may, one of the largest resources of queer knowledge was destroyed.

As Tragic as it is luckily the frost didn’t get to all the potatoes. Remember that copy of Laws of Love well luckily historians managed to get ahold of it so the world at least has a glimpse of hirshfields original intention.

Well now that I spent a good what 15 minutes telling you about the cultural baggage this film has I guess I should probably talk about whether or not the gay kiss happens.

Well yes and know most of the film is concerned about how kinda fucked up how Section 175 is and while the movies straight up is like Hello I’m a homosexual can I have some rights please. Its actually pretty light on the pda. Its definitely queer Hirshfield wanted to “Usualize” Queer experience so we have people cruising in a ballroom and so forth but the closest we get to a gay kiss is through implication, where we have to young school boys lean in and then a fade to black. Like we definitely know what was going on but we don’t get to see it.

anyway whores stay tuned for more update articles because this is the one way we are keeping the now 120 films straight in my mind. Also if I watch any queer short films that arn't on the list then I'll add them to it I decided.

The people being like "oh but they're invading our spaces," are really showing their cards that say "i don't go out to real life queer spaces or events." Coz like, if I went to a lesbian club night and there was a cis dude who ID'ed as a lesbian there, and I saw him then

i see ppl at lesbian events who look like cis dudes all the time because gender is a construct and butches and GNC lesbians and trans women lesbians and he/him lesbians all exist in these spaces and our theoretical cis man doesn't stand out at all

this doesn't effect me in the slightest

if he does end up behaving badly or mistreating ppl or being rude he's not gonna get kicked for being a man who IDs as a lesbian, he's gonna get kicked for being rude or mistreating ppl and

i will once again reiterate that you can do what you want forever.

I love when dumb people trying to start shit see me being chill about funky gender/sexuality/label stuff and they go "oh yeah well what if a MAN identified as a LESBIAN or a GIRL wanted to ID as a GAY MAN" and their brain short circuits when I go "yeah whatev. Who cares. Doesn't affect me at all." It's like what were you expecting coming into the tiger den like that homeboy. Did u not understand who you were working with here.

this is a friendly reminder that if you shame queer fans for headcanoning not-canonically-specified queer female characters as bi/pan, you’re being a massive dick, and a terrible ally to bi/pan people.

Acting like bi/pan people working out their lives and desires through fandom is the same thing as a corporate-owned media property “forcing” a female character to sleep with a male one, or the same as decades of top-down censorship and institutional homophobia, or is some kind of bad-faith attempt to make a queer character “straight”, is gross. Peoples’ experiences of their real-life sexuality and their desire to reflect those experiences in their fandom activities can’t and shouldn’t be conflated with that, and trying to do so is, frankly, dehumanizing to bi and pan people. Their sexuality or romantic orientation is not institutional violence.

There’s a literal world of difference between cishet male gamers whining about a fictional woman who’s (already) not available for them to fuck, or assholes harassing clearly-identified lesbians on dating apps, or even the painful institutional history of queercoded women having to sleep with men onscreen, and queer people identifying with fictional characters and projecting their experiences onto them. The first three items listed are symptoms of privilege and entitlement and systemic homophobia, but the last item is queer people affirming queer people, which is something you should support, or at least not actively antagonize over, and not just when it’s only about you.

Be uncomfortable if you want, avoid content about it if you want, but just because you identify in a particular way with a character doesn’t mean someone else relates the same way, and they shouldn’t have to. There’s a world of difference between that and deliberate and malicious erasure. People who interpret an unspecified sexuality differently than you are still just doing the exact same thing you’re doing--they just came to a different conclusion than you.

#oh wait you mean 'wlw fans' really meant 'cis lesbian fans' this whole time? i'm shocked #honestly floored #fandom meta #fandom wank #vagueblogging #eta: yes this is SPECIFICALLY about sh e ra but more importantly it's about the general trend in f/f fandom #where we pretend we care equally about all wlw or queer women #and then police the fuck out of bi and pan identities and treat their subversive expression of themselves like they're The Enemy #it really is like some people think bi women's identities are About Men somehow and not... y'know... about them as bi women #and i think it does have to do with some sense that headcanoning a character who's canonically queer but of an unspecified identity #as bi or pan or generally sleeping with men of the trans or cis variety #is 'forced inclusion of men in her sexuality'#which is both reminiscent of 'trans women are men invading womens' spaces'#and also reduces bi and pan sexualities to 'being about men'#AND implies that the very real & valid desires of bi/pan folks to express their whole identity is the same as a homophobic media trope #but it isn't lol

WIP Masterlist

Hey guys, I haven’t made a wip masterlist or a proper writeblr intro in quite a while. Guess it’s time yeah?

About Me

I’m Mak, she/her, and I’m an adult. I write almost exclusively WLW sci-fi and fantasy and it’s rare for my stories to lack a romance subplot. I just like that shit man. I have a graduate degree in Public Policy, I'm an USAmerican so my expertise is there.

This is my main blog so sometimes I do post personal opinions, updates, and rants about whatever catches my eye. Feel free to ignore or engage with whatever, for the most part I’m very open to discussion about pretty much anything, so long as it is respectful. DM’s are always open, Asks are always open and anon always available.

What I Write

Sci-fi, usually set in space and the distant future. I'll talk more about my specific wips later in the post

Fantasy, I'm not a fan of like elves and dwarves and stuff, but I love fantasy worlds where things are wildly different from our world. Magic, superpowers, aliens, all sorts of stuff pops up in my work.

LGBTQ+/Queer characters and relationships

Political intrigue, I'm a huge politics nerd so building my own political systems and then playing in them is soooo much fun

Below the Cut: My Ever-Growing List of WIPs

Alright, so I have a very long list of wips in varying stages of progress. Here I have them listed out with the covers if they have one.

Under the Raven's Watchful Eye

UtRWE is my latest WIP inspired by Norse Mythology, specifically a retelling of the most crucial myths about Odin and Ragnarok. It has:

WLW vikings

Skaldic Poetry

tragedy and a desperate attempt to avoid one's fate

morally gray characters (esp. the MC Ashildr)

werewolves

WIP Intro here.

Heavy Lies the Heart

Oh boy, how to even explain this one.

It's a fantasy-romance set in a world completely my own. Queen Alessandra survives an assassination attempt with sheer luck and the help of a handsome rogue. The queen takes her rescuer along on the adventure of a lifetime as she tries to weed out the conspirators. Featuring:

- WLW reluctant allies to lovers

- lovable rogues

- political intrigue

- plenty of romantic tropes

- pirates!! Especially lady pirates 😏

WIP intro here, worldbuilding posts here and here.

Wolves at the Door

[No Cover]

This one's a weird one. Six childhood friends are captured and put to work by the wolf-like aliens invading earth. Exposed to their power source, the six find themselves developing supernatural powers. It's up to them to drive the Wolves off their planet.

WatD includes:

- group dynamics, siblings, childhood friends

- WLW childhood friends to lovers

- angst-addled lovers with a lot of whump

- nonbinary MC (though not the POV MC)

- necromancy

Lost Among the Stars

This is one of my main scifi wips.

Following a failed rebellion, Ran and her rebels were cryogenically frozen and sent sailing through space. When aliens discover the humans and release them, they discover that thousands of years have passed, they are the last humans in the universe, and Earth is no longer habitable. Thrust into an intergalactic struggle for dominance, the last humans in the universe have only themselves to rely on.

This WIP has:

spaaaace and aliens

political intrigue

intergalactic war

humans are space orcs

themes about the definition of home, duty, and survival

The Salvation Experiment

Another scifi wip!

Sprawled on the floor, Nyx wakes up to find a baseball bat and a pamphlet. The pamphlet displays her full name as well as some other more personal details. But on the back, in big bold letters is her “prescription.” Completion of the Salvation Experiment.

She’s not sure what any of that means, or how they got all of this information about her, but she’s pretty sure that baseball bat might come in handy.

Look out for:

themes regarding punitive justice, redemption, and vengeance vs justice

there's some religious undertones in there that I would like to explore further

The Rebel's Halo

Oh boy, so I created this wip in the middle of a full-blown manic episode. A lot of my notes don't make sense, but it's a fun little experiment.

Essentially, it's a YA dystopian wip about what happens when the government can assign guardian angels to do their bidding. It does not make sense yet lmao

Featuring:

angels

dystopian themes

surveillance states

The Last Horseman

[No Cover]

Disaster strikes NYC and Adrian Marshal is stranded. While trying to escape, she is kidnapped and brought to a strange woman who claims that Adrian is an immortal being destined to bring about the apocalypse and destroy humanity. Adrian finds herself in the middle of a great battle between light, dark, and balance and must recover her memories to return to her place as the Last Horseman of the Apocalypse.

In this wip:

immortal, star-crossed lovers (WLW)

LGBTQ+ characters (a nb character is one of the main cast)

light corrupts

themes surrounding corruption and good v evil

So WOW that's a lot. All of these projects are in varying stages of contemplation and drafting. Looking forward to pivoting more towards actual writing than whatever I've been chatting about.
