#also gay people (the same thing)

[uncanny-tranny]

You know, I've realized the interesting thing about "gay people date people who look just like them!" is that I did that myself but for a specific reason that I think is common in gay spaces

I think when you're gay or queer, your internal sense of what 'is' attractive has to be remapped. It's hard sometimes to signal that you both are attracted to someone in a gay way while also saying that you want to be found attractive. As a young kid, I knew what 'is' attracted ve for a straight guy to do - I generally know how to signal to women that I'm interested in them and also want them to be interested in me. But with other guys? Uncharted territory in many ways because society doesn't teach you what's attractive and how to signal your desires for gay people like they do straight people. When I found this out, I figured that my best option was just to see what I found attractive in guys and then I just emulated that because people are most attracted to people they are more similar to.

In some ways, this has been helpful. I started finding myself more attractive because I was able to use other people as inspiration and I knew that I would be attractive for it because I already found that attractive. It was reassuring to know that I didn't need to second-guess if something was attractive because I was already shown that it is. However, there's this weird feeling of knowing that you can't even be conditioned by society as a whole because they don't even know or care you exist. You're conditioned to understand what 'is' attractive for a man or woman in an opposite-sex relationship. I guess it just reminds me, "hey, you're different!" and that can sometimes bother me just because it gives rise to the anxiety that I won't have a frictionless life.

I'm definitely not saying that this is universal, but looking back on my own experiences, I was very intentional with this. And I don't even think this is 100% right, either, because I also do want to be the more traditionally-masculine person. It's complicated sometimes.

NGL I have STRONG opinions about digital releases omitting the letters to the editor section of older comics. I feel like the letters are a part of comic history and should be aggressively preserved.

People who infantilize autistic coded characters are the weakest link in society's chain.

anyways i love you people that are both gay and straight, in whatever way that presents. being nonbinary often can mean a complicated relationship to sexuality and how one perceives it within the societal restrictions of homo and heterosexual, and i think bridging those definitions and having "contradictory" labels like lesboy or whatever is really cool. i support and stan he/him lesbians or butch lesbians or she/her gay men or femme gays or she/he pronoun users and whatever else, be it cis or trans or both. if you feel like youre both cis and trans that also rocks. dont let people force you back into a binary within the queer community, stay strong!

Have I ever mentioned my Izuna lives, Tobiizu, little Danzo HATES Izuna and thinks he's used the Sharingan to control Tobirama au??

I’m obsessed with David and Brad in whatever format they’re presented to me, but I do wish they could’ve had a work and play relationship so badly.

I thought Anna was extremely interesting, but with the limited time we get in each season I still think Brad x david could’ve been actually built upon in a way that made sense. A friends with benefits not actually unrequited loved that’s never really resolved?

Super super fucking niche but like. When Dream said "I'm not gay" I see some people saying "well him not being gay doesnt mean he isnt queer" and i think you are interpreting this too literally. dream just posted a meme with a slur bc he thought he could "reclaim" it for having autism. I don't think hes thinking that hard about his language and what it means. When he says he's not gay hes not saying he has a different queer identity hes saying hes not queer.

now ive finished the series im actually going to go on record and say im pretty sure if you enjoyed the owl house or amphibia you'll like jentry chau vs the underworld (its on netflix). it starts a little slow with high school shit but it picks up FAST and gets crazy. honestly felt like a lot more than one season of content in 13 half hour episodes. also its just fucking gorgeous and the music is amazing. and some of the characters suck morally in a way stuff in its bracket can be afraid to do which is fun

i feel like almost everything in utena has sort of already been extensively discussed in the last two (almost three) decades of utena's existence (not that there aren't new interpretations to be made, there always are) besides black rose arc (mikage+mamiya+tokiko). which is why they're so much fun to think about. i think the need to read between the lines makes it unfortunately easy to misunderstand or look past obvious stuff if you don't pay attention, but to me it's always been really obvious that mikage's arc is a literal representation of the erasure of queerness in ohtori (society?) by akio/everything he represents. and that's so fucking tragic! nemuro was never able to find a name for his desires. he lived and died as a puppet in the shadows.

It's okay to just be binary you know

It's also okay to let trans people do whatever they want forever. Hope this helps.

It’s insane to me how straight people will produce media where two men have extreme homoerotic tension and say things like “I want you by my side” “we want the same thing” “you’re so adorable” “you’ve never looked beautiful” and “i’ll always be there” while they stare at each othering lovingly and call each other pet names…..only to turn around and say that they’re “brothers” and “best friends”

Would you ever consider being a third to Mel and Jayce?

This is a...very strange question. A few things- Jayce and Mel are no longer together, from what I know. At least I would assume that is still true. I am also...homosexual, so I experience no attraction to women at all. So...bluntly, no, I would not consider such. I have much respect for Mel, and I...well, Jayce is very important to me- but even in a hypothetical this would...not really work.
