#and I wish you weren’t

[blugrlgroup]

As much as I still care about you, you deserve to suffer at least a little bit for the shit you did to me, for what you’ve put me through, for what you’ve taken from me

[bucksboobs]

I do think at some point in the not too distant future, the 911 fandom, at least on Tumblr, is going to have to reckon with the fact that despite M!slash being the main driving force of the fandom, gay men like myself are in the vast minority (I think a recent poll put us at something like 6% but it didn’t separate bisexuals by gender so it’s hard to say how many mlm are actually in the fandom) and in the same way being a gay man doesn’t exempt him from being incidentally or purposefully misogynistic, being some other flavor of the rainbow doesn’t prevent someone from perpetuating homophobia against men who love men.

At some point the jokes about how Tommy is just here for dick or should just get dick and move on (when he’s already made it very clear that he wants a relationship with Buck) are going to start to sound like hypersexual stereotypes of gay men. At some point the constant push to get them to break up as soon as possible and for Tommy to die or get shipped off to Arizona or wherever is going to seem less like regular ship hate and more like wanting a gay male character to be punished for daring to seek a relationship with a man in the first place. We obviously aren’t there yet but I do think we should be aware that it is fast approaching.

Here’s to a Child Star

Here’s to a child star, put on a stage 

Where everyone saw every flaw and mistake

Yes, here’s to a child star, in a zoo cage 

Poked at and prodded and goaded to shame

You deserved more.

Not more money or fame or riches 

But more support, more kindness, more resources to be better, to get better 

To deal with the hurt and pressures that come with Fame 

Fame when you sell your name before you know what it stands for 

Fame where you become someone to everyone before you have your own full identity

Fame when you’re a paycheque for some washed up execs 

Who don’t care who you are or where you go as long as you serve them for the length of your contract 

When death comes, we hope for peace

Not a drugged addled death on the ground in a country that’s not your home, 

where tabloids identify you to the public by your tattoos before you own son gets the news

Before he can grieve the public balks over your body like some sort of show 

Why do they get to know? 

Why do they get to know how you died when they barely knew how you lived? 

How you loved?

How you cared?

Here’s to a child star that brought us joy

Who gave all he had to his fans with his boys

Yes here’s to sweet Liam, may his demons lay to rest 

While his dreams live on in those that are left

In your memory, let us vow

To stop treating children as consumable goods

To stop using them for our entertainment and casting them out when we are done 

In your honour, may we vow 

To give therapy and love to those struggling to return to a “normal life”

That they can live without self medicating with drugs, sex, and false platitudes from their previous stardom

In memory of you, those that came before, and those that go on

May WE do better, be better, love better. 

Here’s to a child star, gone too soon. 

May death be kinder to you than life.

yk, props to gansey for having the “craving the chase not the end result” mindset for glendower but not converting that over to blue

I’ll be responding to messages and posts as I get time, but I just need you all to know I appreciate you so fucking much. Every last one of you incredible supporters — you hold my heart in your hands. Sincerely, you are the most impeccably wondrous people. I have the support system of the millennium.

Anyway, you, supporters, are actually the very reason I haven’t responded to the messages and encouraging posts of love and defense sooner.

I haven’t been on here because I have been busting my ass to bring you Chapter 11 AND Chapter 12! My goal is to have them both done so I can drop them within a few days of each other. It is past time for me to bring this story back to you and I’m beyond ready to continue sharing it.

My goal is to have it to you sooner than you might imagine. I don’t blame you if you don’t believe me, but I promise my goal as of now is to have it to you in days’ time. Not weeks. Not months. Days. 🫶🏻

So. . . In the meantime, how about a sneak peek?

one thing I realized the most rewatching bayverse transformers as an adult, is that a lot of ppl hate Sam. but little kid me and adult me disagree with that greatly and still very much thinks that he’s the best human character in the movies (Charlie was great too don’t get me wrong, and on some occasions Cade). he’s relatable and justified tbh in many arguments that ppl make against him.

Quoting Bryan Fuller here just to make sure Hannigram deniers understand

“This queer, unconventional romance”

QUEER.

UNCONVENTIONAL.

ROMANCE.

You get that?

One of my neighbours cats comes to visit our house. He literally spent half an hour on my lap today and only stopped cause I took him off.

actually feeling flabbergasted and depressed by how bad and hollow this ending is

[spelllingandthemysteryschool]

perhaps the disapproval and dismay my mother has been beaming my way since she finally figured out that my gf and i are together is having a negative effect on my mental health. maybe

I can’t find my post from a few years back about the crk fandom’s reaction to Affogato, but anyway, Peach Blossom just released and I’m here to make my Why Can’t the Cis CRK Fans be Normal About Gender Nonconforming Characters Part 2 post.

Seriously, what the fuck? I don’t think the reaction is as bad as with Affogato, but maybe it just looks that way to me because I’m not nearly as active in the fandom as I used to be.

Of course people are sexualizing him, disappointing but not surprising. Before he released, everyone seemed very insistent that he was evil/would pretend to be helpful but later be revealed to be working for Mystic Flour (which is funny in hindsight considering he turned out to be literally just some guy with 2 minutes of screentime). But their justification for why he was so obviously going to be evil was his feminine appearance, which like way to reveal your biases I guess.

I straight up saw one person say they knew he was going to be a trickster type character because of his “deceptive appearance.” What an absolutely unhinged thing to say. Please tell me y’all don’t say shit like this to real people. Imagine seeing a gnc person and going “you don’t look like what I think a person of your gender should look like, therefore you’re manipulative and a liar.”

There’s been a lot of trap jokes as well. Most of them seem to be ironic/self-aware so the people doing them don’t think there’s any harm. But it really doesn’t matter if you’re genuine or not, it still perpetuates a harmful mindset if the joke is the mere existence of gnc people, especially gnc men, being inherently deceptive/outrageous/confusing.

Edit: found the post

[eddiegettingshot]

like ok. i’m trying not to be a hater. but to me the eddie going to therapy talk. like when there’s a little “and of course eddie should see frank!” dropped in or whatever. it kind of feels to me like the equivalent of when. out of the blue. someone is like “ok and you know the traffic light system right!” in a slightly less than vanilla sex scene. even when it doesn’t like. matter. or make sense. just to prove that we’re meeting some pop psychology standard of healthy and good. you know what i mean. like it doesn’t feel interesting or necessary

[mavspeed]

something that really pisses me off is this headcanon that ice would have been or was against mav pulling bradley’s papers for the academy.

like i’m sorry but I need some of you to think for a second. this is a man whose jet wash indirectly also led to the accident that resulted in goose’s death and probably carried that guilt for half his life too. this is also the man who was there to watch mav and carole grieve for the brother/husband they lost for YEARS. not to mention he was close to goose as well since they were both at the academy. like he would have wanted to protect bradley just as much as mav did when he made the decision to pull the papers. it’s a dumb moment for both of them but again. 100% they would have both thought they were doing the right thing for bradley.

So early days hhau question... did Grian and Scar ever consider that there might be other hermits in this world too?

We know ultimately there wasn't, but they thought they were alone before they found each other, right? So would they think there's a chance or did they not want to think about that?

-🎀

It’s absolutely something they considered, and ultimately hoped to be wrong about.

But truthfully, Grian and Scar didn’t have the luxury to spend much time with wistful thinking of reuniting with any other hermits when they first found each other. Grian was weak, on the verge of fever and suffering from blood loss, while Scar was just scrambling to survive— to allow both of them to survive.

I think if the thought did occur to them, they snuffed it out. Because the chances of finding someone else friendly while tucked away hiding? Not looking so good. They’d be much more likely to find a familiar corpse.

It’s much easier to just imagine they’re alone.

In many ways, they both wish they were truly alone.

That the other didn’t have to be stuck in this hell with them.

Ok reworked this scenes dialogue for the third time because it wasn’t painful enough the first two times
