omg i think i may have actually gotten vagued on twitter? maybe? love it. anyway lol ummm twirls my hair

i was on the twitting machine looking at posts and saw someone who USED to follow me on this blog but who does not any longer making a post about like "some people are SO MAD that people ship emet-selch with girls! it's DISGRACEFUL you should treat every character as pan and not just assume the game is ONLY FOR YOU!"

and i was like, hmm. i mean, i feel like in a game where everything is left so open-ended it's fine to have your own headcanons as long as you don't step on anyone else's toes, right? and as much as i've complained about the relative popularity of f/m emetwol and how that's not clicked well with internalized homophobia for me, and said i dislike the portrayals of it that lean really hard on objectionable tropes about compulsory heteronormativity, i don't like...i don't think there's anything WRONG with shipping him with a woman or thinking he's bisexual. there's likely more canon basis for that, even. everyone's entitled to their own opinion and wolship. i get that sometimes i come across as a bit bitchy on this front but it's just tiring to me to feel kind of like, edged out of the discussion as a card carrying fag yknow

anyway then i looked in the replies and the OP was specifically getting really infuriated about "people who think he's exclusively gay" because "CLEARLY he had a wife and kids so that automatically makes that impossible. theyre so gross bc they think he didn't really love his wife as solus and just did it as a means to an end" and this was specifically when i started thinking like Wow maybe she really is mad at least in part at me specifically for having a gay headcanon and not thinking he was attracted to his wife, especially given canonically he did kind of treat the galvus family like shit. which. was funny to me.

like maybe i am a little too salty sometimes but i really do think everyone should have whatever headcanon they want and am not inherently against f/m emetwol or bi emet or anything that's just not MY preference. there's no reason people can't enjoy it. that just like...doesn't mean everyone else has to agree or to see him as bisexual.....like it's odd to me to get angry at someone for insisting their headcanon is the only right one in your view and then immediately being like "but there is only one correct headcanon to have...it's just that it's MINE."

anyway [something derogatory about selchwifery here to end the post with a little extra negativity]
