#ah gays being gay

[crowned-clown-rising]

I've never watched the original series, only watched and clapped the fandom from afar, BUT what do you mean that dialogue happens in EPISODE 4 OF THE FIRST SEASON???

[fucktheroyals]

Okay Teru is so fucking gay. And I know Dimple’s a good friend for saying that shirt looks like shit because no one else wants to hurt his feelings but I hope Mob understands Teru’s FUCKING GAY and he wholeheartedly means it when he says nice things to Mob. He’s not saying it to be nice, he MEANS IT.

Do you think Mac has jacked off while reading the Bible? Or is he too ashamed? Or does the shame just turn him on more? Are the pages of his Bible all stuck together?

Oh, I don't think; we know:

(Pages stuck together, thanks for the confirmation, Charlie)

I think the shame definitely turns him on more, considering Mac Day:

And, the connected punishment, lest we forget The Gang Goes to Hell... (and the script here... whew)

While he was repressed then, he wasn't as of Charlie's Home Alone, so I think it's clear to claim that a part of his "homosexual awakening" was connected to the fact that he was gradually getting more and more into the idea of being punished (gone sexual) for his sins, to a point where he was just genuinely jerking off to the "evils of homosexuality"

I do wanna continue here though and say Season 15 is pretty interesting because we see Mac battle between being Catholic and proudly gay. He seemingly has no issue bragging to a Priest in the middle of a church that he's into triple penetration, but it is his sex life that is the driving "reasoning" for why he thinks he should become a Catholic Priest:

He's been "S-ing&F-ing" his way though life for too long and now he thinks God has taken away one of his identities (Irish) as a result. Mac's idea of being punished by/for God continues, but it's now through the form of revocation (as opposed to shame or flagellation). I think there's a clear "connect the dots" idea that depriving himself of sex (via becoming a Priest) is an "evolved" form of allowing God to punish him for being gay.

Obviously Mac learns he was lied to, as he actually is Irish, so his "journey" here is a bit of a wash, but the fact that his rationale jumped to God punishing him for having gay sex still stands. As he grows to accept himself, he's still looking for ways to feel shame (which, as we've seen, gets him off)...

But is the constant seeking for some form of punishment still there? We didn't see much of his Catholicism in Season 16 (I think the only mention of God from Mac was in The Gang Gets Cursed), but we did continue to see his sex life and—well, that was pretty heavy on Mac, openly gay dating, somehow managing to be neglected and deprived of actual gay sex, wasn't it?

Ok I’m doing it I’m doing it for real.

Welcome to the completely serious Japanese Fakir can’t remember Duck’s name theory!!!!!!! 🎉🥳🎈🍾

Sponsored by me, a person who has watched this show an ungodly number of times!

The first time Fakir calls Duck by her name is in episode 5. Mytho tries to tell Fakir Duck's name (he'd been calling her "that girl") and Fakir interrupts him. Rude!

[ID: two screencaps showing dialogue. Mytho says "She'd called Duck. Her name is Duck and--" and Fakir responds "I don't care about any of that. End ID]

A little later in the episode Fakir calls Duck by name! Yay!!

[ID: screencap of Fakir saying "Your name's Duck? Just what do you know?" End ID]

...and then he never uses her name again. UNTIL EPISODE 17!! He calls her Tutu when she's Tutu, "that girl," or just "her." Case in point: episode 15.

[ID: Screencap of Fakir saying "Did you tell her about this?" End ID]

He and Rue are talking about Mytho. Duck has not been mentioned once in this conversation and Fakir chooses to bring her up without referring to her by name; just "her" again. Thankfully Rue knows who he's talking about.

The first time Fakir uses Duck's actual name past episode 5 is in episode 17 and then he's just echoing Uzura.

[ID: Two screencaps. In the first Uzura says "when they say at school that Duck 'goes well together'" and in the second Fakir says "Duck is? With who?" End ID]

By episode 18 Fakir seems to have remembered Duck's name. He calls out for her, for the first time not just echoing a name someone else told him (there's another example of this earlier in the episode.)

[ID: screencap of Fakir yelling "Duck! Are you there?" End ID]

From here on out he consistently refers to her by name. Though he has a bit of a relapse in episode 23:

[ID: screencap of Fakir thinking "Is he out there somewhere, laughing as he watches Mytho and her suffer?" End ID]

Once again he brings up Duck as "her" without having referred to her by name previously in the scene.

In conclusion:

[ID: a screencap of Fakir hunched over and blushing with the text "I forgor" at the bottom. End ID]

Are you sure you're not into men dazai-san?

this show is so fucking funny

[lord-squiggletits]

Lmao I just wrote a manifesto about IDW OP but now I'm in the mood to write one about Pharma and the dumb obsessive stalker ex trope too

Actually no wait I can do it in one sentence

Fellas is it obsessive stalker behavior to want revenge on your ex best friend for stealing your hands and then leaving you to die in a frozen wasteland without even bothering to look for your dead body to confirm you died (and he calls you a horrible person and a terrible Autobot while standing next to an ex-Decepticon who killed thousands)

[pekodaiz]

twitter is actually insufferable for the first time in months im forced to see the same opinions over and over again it’s kinda amazing but not really it’s just exhausting

[suffarustuffaru]

if i wrote a comprehensive analysis of reading into otto's character from a queer lens (with extensive text citations) would you read it bc ive thought way too much about this for the sake of my silly anime fanfiction okay. i know too much about this topic now and i gotta let the energy out <33

[ichijokaoru]

this screencap is so funny to me because ichijou's expression just says, 'I cannot believe I'm developing a crush on this guy. I have suppressed my homosexual tendencies for years and this is the man that does it'

[etheral-moon]

Speaking from experience <3
