#and thats why this is stupid thanks for coming to my ted talk

it drives me batshit when people start busting out the math equations to try to explain the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality. id rather you just say you identify as whichever one you like the flag of more. why are you jumping through hoops to talk in circles describing something that is ultimately indescribable? you dont need to be doing all this. you can just admit that the pansexual label only exists due to misconceptions about bisexuality, and that they are functionally the same exact thing. overcomplicating the definitions does absolutely nothing. "bisexual is when youre attracted to n > 1 gend-" shut the fuck up bisexual is when i break your jaw because youre causing needless confusion with your words

you dont understand. my love has done everything possible to get this trinket. switched to bare fists so he can get more hits, and thus more chances. added loot drop perks to his character build. continued to hunt on the same save with a loving determination to provide for me.

he's killed about 1.5 thousand.

he still hasnt got the trinket.

i love my husband but we genuinely play video games in vastly different ways and it is fascinating. even when we play the same games. he grew up playing mmos like wow doing the same dungeons again and again and again and builds stuff in minecraft survival brick by brick and has been in grounded for hours tonight with the single-minded goal of finding me a very rare drop from a very common bug by just killing fucking hundreds of them. it's been hours. i gave up after killing five. in total. months ago.

i did everything in monster hunter world once and didn't touch it again. i have the worldedit mod. i am not using your fancy cooking mechanic. this bitch is going over a flame until it won't poison me and that's IT.

i remember asking him, while he was in the middle of explaining how he was deconstructing an elaborate base in order to build it just slightly different and to the right in a game, "are you enjoying this? like are you actually having fun?" cause i could not fucking conceive it. but i'm fine with it! i'm so glad. and told him so. he's playing with legos just like he did as a kid. (i've never liked legos.)

it's just. grinding in video games makes me feel like that meme of the dude at the slots who says "can't believe people loose thousands of dollars on these i've lost five and am ready to blow this place up"

[randomnerd737]

one day Logan and Remus are hanging out, and then Logan starts ranting about some smart person shit, and Remus is kinda bored but he'd felt worse and what Logan was saying was actually pretty interesting so he just sat there and would sometimes ask questions or compare what Logan was talking about to something gross and stuff.

then, Logans years of being brushed aside and his input being treated as a burden and only welcome when it was considered helpful kick in, and he suddenly stops talking and gets all "oh sorry you probably don't care about that" and "this is probably boring you, we can talk about something else if you want". Remus is VERY offended by this.

he goes off about how thats stupid and Logans stupid and he's such a fucking pussy for not talking and why does he think he's so annoying huh? is that a fucking challenge bitch? "boo hoo look at me I'm Logan Sanders and I think I'm soooooo special and that no one wants to hear he talk!" and thats fucking bullshit and it sucks and he sucks!

the whole time Logan is just extremely confused because this is the most negative reaction he has ever gotten to him not talking. and its all very angsty and projectiony and Logan feels weirdly appreciated and its very intrulogical. thank you for coming to my ted talk. (idk why this is so long. I might as well just write it into a fanfic at this point lol.)

[asteria-argo]

So I have been rereading your catalog of stories (because they are my comfort fics right now) and I LOVE the way you write Collin and Jamie's interaction 💜💜💜. Do you have any thoughts about their dynamic to share?

Ahhh thank you! this ask sent me into absolute hysterics last night I could not stop giggling long enough to properly answer it, but I have pulled myself together and I absolutely have thoughts to share.

Colin and Jamie, to me specifically, embody the classic sibling dynamic of relentlessly picking on each other. I've mentioned before that Jamie is one of the babies of the team, but it's important to the general behind the scenes lore of my fics that I think Colin also used to be one of the babies. He's not anymore, he got bumped up to being a middle kid, but he did his time as the youngest and now he gets the big kid privilege of making fun of the little kids.

Could he pick on Dani or Sam as well? probably, but it's not as fun because they never fight back the same way Jamie does. They just nod along, and thats boring. Colin and Jamie both understand that sometimes you just gotta be assholes to each other for fun. They get into play fights about stupid things that do not matter all the time. Usually they're both pretty good at not going too far and keeping it all in good fun.

Colin is also the tiniest bit protective of Jamie, which leads to moments like in Oh, The Horrors, when he covers Jamie's eyes during the gory bits of the movie. It's not a massive part of their dynamic, but there's an undercurrent there. Jamie is the same with Colin obviously, though I haven't had a chance to show off that aspect of it in any of my fics yet.

Now as for why I specifically give them this dynamic? because I can mostly, but also because I like taking the fact Jamie, Colin and Isaac were friends in season one into account in my writing. While Jamie is arguably much closer to Sam, Dani and Roy in later seasons, Colin and Isaac were still his friends at Richmond for at least a year, they've got rapport with each other that they can fall back on.

Anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk about Jamie Colin Sibling Dynamics, I have thoughts about this for literally everyone on the team if anyone is ever curious.

SECOND TRY SENDING THIS KJKIBSLKWBFC

You’ve awoken the beast.

The ardieno-is-obsessed-with-rain-world-and-enjoys-analysing-the-in-game-graffiti-beast.

I shall start off by presenting THE BOARD

This originally started off because I was trying to create as canon-accurate designs for the iterators and ancients. That plan has since gone out the window (haha, stylization go brrrrrrrr)

BUT because of this I have spent a lot of time collecting art assets from the game (and elsewhere. i’m looking at you catboy pebbles.) and staring at them for many many hours. And now you will be subjected to some of this (not all of it cause I can’t fit it all in one ask– which is why this is my second try at sending this jbkikibdljgvewd)

I’ll start with some ancients ones I found interesting!

First one here has a citizen drone!! Second one provides a really good showcase of ancient ‘hair’, and the third one i think everyone’s probably seen but I just really really like this dude

These are some graffitis that I *think* are ancients, but I’m not 100% sure on them

Ancients seem to have had…

Dog snoots.

Big tall eyes.

Ear inconsistency. Seriously so many graffitis that i think are of ancients have ears, and so many just don’t. IT CONFUSES MY BRAIN.

Iterator graffitis!! Not as many as the ancients smh

These are where everyone gets the ‘pebbies has lil dots on his head’ design hc. these images also canonize the emo eyeliner mwahahahaha

I don’t know if any of the other iterators showcased here can give us any real insight on other iterator’s designs, but the green head in the first image here is just barely reminiscent of NSH and that bothers me a bit

And heres just some miscellaneous graffiti I found interesting

That guardian one is present in one of the very first rooms in outskirts. I dont know why but that bothers me slightly.

Alright thats all I can fit in here cause stupid character/image limits Thank you for coming to my ted talk

*disappears back into the bushes*

OH OH THIS IS AMAZING!!! i have found all of the ancient graffitis including the ad that the overseers shown you!! BUT SEEING THEM CLEARLY IS SO NICE NOW!! OH THIS CONFIRMS MY IDEA THAT ANCIENTS CAN HAVE SNOUTS OH THAT IS NICE!!! IT MEANS THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO DRAW EM MASKLESS IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME!!!

and this particular graffiti caught my eye! who is this iterator???? :0 ALSO PEBBLES WITH THE EMO EYELINER YES!!!!! I KNEW IT WAS CANNON !!!! YIPEEEE!!

[s0lit4ir3]

What's something you are passionate about. Please rant about it

why can i never rant about something on the spot. ok hmm, heres a rant about billie eilish and the concept of favourite singers because i also want a reason to rant about billie

i don't know why people hate on peoples favourite singers. "how can you like them?" thats your opinion, for all you know they might have saved that person's life. they might have been the only thing that person was staying for. for example, a singer who played a big impact on me was billie eilish. when i was struggling, i stayed for waking up to the new tour content every morning. it made my day whenever i saw someone wearing her merch (and still does). whenever she posted on Instagram, my heart skipped a beat. just little things to do with a singer or celebrity can give someone a reason to stay, and someone then dissing you for liking that figure might make you feel stupid for basing one person on your life and happiness.

moral of the story, never hate on an artist after someone says they love them. yeah you may not like them, they may not be your type, but you dont have to belittle the other person for who they like.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

oh and also if you don't like billie then i may be planning murder on you throwing hands

Pj what was your pitch perfect 2 experience

glad you asked! so the context here is there was a period of a few months in my life, from like march-october 2015, when i lived about 30 minutes from where i worked and i had no license and no car and there is no public transit here. luckily i worked in the same city as my mom, so she would drop me off downtown at 7am before going to work and i would fuck around all day until making my way to work my shift at 3 or 4.

one of my go-to activities was to see a movie, especially that summer when the a/c was at its highest. this is why i saw jurassic world five times in theaters, and also why i saw the poltergeist remake, and various other films that came out in the summer of 2015 that i otherwise would not have bothered seeing in theaters. pitch perfect 2 was among the films i saw that summer, but i was very into pitch perfect and i wouldve seen the sequel in theaters even if i didnt have all that time to waste. thats whats so heartbreaking about it..

like i dont think i can stress how much i was looking forward to this movie. hailee steinfeld was in it. KATEY SAGAL WAS IN IT. i wanted it so bad.

anyway the actual movie experience was underwhelming, as will be my explanation of it. it basically just fucking sucked. i didnt laugh once. i was tired that day and i found myself thinking as i was leaving the theater that my time and money would have been better spent if i had napped thru the whole thing. the “humor” was hideous and almost 100% based in making fun of womens appearances. and it wasnt even “offensive” it was just dismally unfunny.

it felt like they were relying on the success of the first movie to draw an audience and they made the second one as stupid and low-effort as they possibly could, while also shelling out what im assuming were huge sums of money for the most unnecessary cameos in the world that they didnt even use properly to make the movie good in any way. and while this is also true of certain marvel films, pitch perfect 2 did it worse. and thats saying a lot.

i wasnt even happy to see katey sagal,, i pitied her. shes the milf of all time and i briefly pitied her and i will never live that down. thanks for coming to my ted talk

“god is an all powerful being who knows everything and has the power to not let humans suffer, but refuses”

is a very juvenile take which shows up your cultural christianity and how much you havent learned yet, even literally just about christianity itself

its a day for rambles on tumbler i think so here goes.

Religious and philosophical ramblings under the cut, mostly based on what I learned in fucking High School:

The Theodicy Question. Buckle in

Let me introduce you to the concept of “theodicy”, a concept that was first introduced to me by my religious studies teacher when I was about 17. In German, I learned about it as “Die Theodizee-Frage”, and it formulates a question:

If God is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-merciful, why does suffering exist in the world?

Surely if you have a God who is as powerful as the texts say, surely if said God loves you, then there shouldn’t be any suffering.

I don’t remember names or dates very well but I do remember concepts and ideas, and here’s a couple explanations that Christian (!!) philosophers and theologians came up with hundreds of years ago.

1. The premise is a fallacy. Clearly, if your God is (all 3 of) all powerful, all knowing and all merciful, then suffering would not exist. Clearly, God simply cannot be all 3. He could be 2 out of 3 though: either he doesn’t know, or he is powerless to stop suffering, or he simply doesn’t want to. It helps your faith to believe that God is merciful and would stop suffering if he could; and we want God to be listening to our prayers and shit so we want him to be all knowing too. So maybe, God simply isnt as powerful as we think.

2. The premise is correct, but the conclusion is wrong. God knows of our suffering, He could stop it if he wanted, but he doesn’t think it would be merciful to. Perhaps God knows something you don’t? Perhaps suffering is necessary for a complete human experience. You can’t have light without darkness etc

But just in case you don’t care about random guys who wrote about the ins and outs of religions hundreds of years ago,

Here’s a couple of my own answers to this question (as a scientist whos agnostic, somewhat spiritual and culturally christian):

1. God is a writer and we are his project. You need suffering to drive the plot, to get character development, you even need death so surviving characters can deal with it in some way that makes sense to them. Suffering as a narrative tool, more than anything. You need suffering to make the good ending meaningful and worthwhile.

2. God doesn’t have power to affect our petty human issues. God cannot decide if someone will murder or rape you; God cannot stop greedy people from hoarding resources. God cannot stop wars because wars are a human construct. Most suffering is created by humans. God cannot get rid of human suffering because he was no power over human affairs. The fact that humans have free will (religiously and theologically important and significant) will inevitably lead to suffering, because most humans suffer from the actions of other humans.

The point of this is mostly that if you have a thought and it’s distressing to you and causing you to break with the whole concept of God, or Religion, or Spirituality entirely, perhaps it would be good to do some research just in case someone else has had that thought before and put some work into deconstructing it and finding explanations that aren’t just “God is evil, we gotta kill God and also all religious people are stupid and deluded” or “God definitelty does not exist and the fact that suffering exists proves that God does not”

Learn some things (Like ig if youre american thats hard cus they??? seem hell bent on not teaching you things in that “education system” of yours) and form a more nuanced opinion please

Okay thank you for coming to this Ted talk I hope this helps a bit

(edited to add: Wikipedia page on Theodicy agrees with me, has dates and names and even says that these things Ive said as my own thoughts have already been said by other people before me. Have a read if youre interested)

JURGEN LEITNER?

STUPID IDIOT MOTHERFUCKING JURGEN LEITENER GOD DAMN FOOL BOOK COLLECTING DUST EATING RAT OLD BASTARD SHITHEAD IDIOT AVATAR OF THE WHORE BIGGEST CLOWN IN THE CIRCUS LAUGHED OUT OF TOWN COWBOY MOTHERFUCKING JURGEIN LEITNER. STOP PINNING ME WHEN I TALK ABOUT JURGEIN LEITENER I HATE HIM SO MUCH WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MANY FUCKED UP BOOKS WHY DID HE DECIDE TO FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST SET THEM LOOSE IS HE DEAD IS HE A BASTARD MAN HAS SUCH A VISCERAL AFFECT ON ME NOT EVEN IN THE ROOM NEVER SEEN THIS MANS FACE AND I KNOW HE HAS THE WORLDS SHITTIEST BEARD GET AWAY FROM ME.

if i wanted to get into heaven and god said jurgein leitners waiting inside i would piss on gods feet for the sole purpose of getting sent back down. if i have to deal with jurgein leitner speaking one word in person on voice in podcast not only will i close the tab i will delete my bookmark out of spite and have to rewatch the entire series again for the experience of being able to skip all the times when he is mentioned or alive. i dont even know why i hate him so much. he collects books but i am just mad because i am ANGY. he better have some fucked up backstory to explain this if hes just some rich shithead whos a fan of creepypasta and wanted the irl version ill go ham. BETTER have had a book make him kill a man cuz if he didnt Im going to make him.

paypal.com/IFuckingHateJurgeinLeitner

episode's not even about him. vaguely mentioned what is supposed to maybe be his library and I lost it. where the fuck is jurgein leitner if hes still alive im going to so deeply wish he wasnt.

crusty old man. ill punch leitner and his sad frail old man twig bones will simply flake apart under my epic huge meat fist and he will disintegrate until all thats left is one final book he kept on him at all times simply titled Now You Fucked Up in ancient yiddish. im not breathing im hyperventilating at this point. i hope theres a date given for when jurgen died or will die so i can make it a reminder on my phone, and everyday once a year i will see it and do anything but pay respects to the man who had so many fucked up if true books

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Also I agree, it would be funny

Look I hope Jürgen leitner is dead in every universe as much as the next guy but how funny would it be if Sam and Alice go to the Magnus Institute, Manchester and that little rat bastard is STILL in the tunnels

WE ARE ON 3x07! 1/2 *pauses tv on Brian getting head and looks at me* ‘how awkward do you think this was to film? Like i know it’s a job but what if…he actually gets turned on?’ (This is the moment where I actually thought about telling him Gale is straight but went against it to not “ruin” the magic) *starts ep again* ‘oh shit, Ted is in deep shit isnt he? THIS IS BULLSHIT!’ *ethan pops up, he pauses the tv and smacks his head* ‘OH COME ON! There’s no escaping this fucker is there?! OH WAIT JUSTIN DIDNT TELL HIM HE SAW HIM? nevermind. i forgot Justin can drive. Why couldn’t he ever drive Brian’s car? WHY DIDNT HE TELL YOU? WHAT DID HE SEE? OH THOSE ARE THE WORDS OF A MAN TERRIFIED THAT HIS BULLSHIT ROMANTIC ACT IS GONNA BE EXPOSED! Oh he was a muuuusic student? bro be fucking for real. Justin sounds like HE is jealous? Dude. Bro. You’d have a stroke if someone mentioned Brian right now. (ethan says fans will think he’s sexy) Oh god, I’m actually afraid that if i roll my eyes one more time that theyll get stuck.‘ ‘FUCK YOU COP BOY! HE HAS A SON! Dude, Gus’ dad is literally every parents nightmare when it comes to role models. BRI WHY WOULD YOU BRING HIM TO LIBERTY! HE IS LITERALLY TALKING ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE PLACES! How can he not realize this is bad? I’m sorry but he isn’t dumb, so this is all bullshit. There is NOTHING to clean up at liberty. He’ll whip his ass? Oh he’s gay for sure’ ‘I think I should give Ted a lesson into how to talk to your mom on the phone. We have a lovely relationship! I tell her about my recovery and Brian and how Justin is stupid for leaving and she tells me to go fuck myself and then asks about my day and tells me she loves me. It’s perfect.’ ‘Sooo instead of talking to his boyfriend and being like either you stop drugging your tushy or im out, he’s making his best friends ex boyfriend draw him? Mike, be honest with me..where were you on the day when the good lord was giving away a brain that worked?’ ‘WHY ARE WE HYPING UP ETHAN? WE HATE ETHAN? Why did we never hype up Brian! HUH DEBBIE?’ Mel said shes not most women after she had a negative pregnancy test ‘you’re right, “most” women dont annoy me this much. And “most” women would go to the sperm bank instead of the best friend of the previous donor that they oh so hate’ ‘BRIAN! God i hate that car. OH TEDDY! (brian says hed sue if he was ted bc of the photo) Remember when he said he’s gonna sue that guy for saying he’s 31? That was funny. And a better time. Lets go back to the coupley brian and justin. I miss that. BRIAN WHAT THE FUCK?! TED IS YOUR FRIEND! WHAT IS GOING ON? Tell me how did he plan on driving with snow all over his peanut car?’ ‘DAPHNEE i love her! DID YOU SEE THAT FACE! SHE HATES THAT KAZOO FUCKER JUST AS MUCH AS I DO! COMES FROM LIVING WITH BRIAN?! FUCK YOU JUSTIN! Bri didnt cheat! He wasnt sneaking around. You knew cause he told you. How are you gonna blame him for that? THANK YOU DAPHNE HE WAS HONEST! I knew you and i would get along! Now give me Jen and Daphne and Brian together! Oh my god Justin, who are you trying to convince that you love him and arent worried he cheated? Me or you?’ ‘BRIAN! It’s my boy Brian! Working on a homophobes commercial. This is pure bullshit! He would never. EMMETT AND BRI BRI! Why is Brian suddenly such a horrible friend to them? What is going on? This isn’t normal? THATS RIGHT EMY TELL HIM! He DOES care about his friends even if he acts like he doesn’t. I feel like Emmett is the only one who can kinda scare Brian. Bri Bri, this is bullshit why are you doing this to me? He’s just a little lost because of Justin. I’m sure of it, right? *looks at me all scared*’ Stockwell and Brian are currently in a steam room ‘oh this is the first hetero steam room he’s been in, huh? exactly Brian! Help Ted! Oh this dude is for sure gay. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS GIVE ME ETHAN AFTER BRIAN?!’ HE THEN PAUSED THE TV TO GO ON A SMOKE AND I WAS ACTUALLY ANGRY BC THEE SCENE IS UP!!!

I feel like Emmett is the only one who can kinda scare Brian. <- YEP

I am just going to present this without comment because my comments are all "yes" and "right on" and "exactly."

stephanie.....she doesn’t have to sleep out in the rain every night jesus. once again clay i can’t stand you dumbass opinions kindly shut your mouth for the rest of the season please. all three of these men of this tribe: ted, clay, and brian are at the bottom of my list i hate them. i truly don’t like ted or clay. you wanna know why it wasn’t a team effort shii ann? because it was dead fucking quiet even coming up with a name for the dummy you’re meant to decorate. you also literally said you don’t care. so.....all of you be annoying i guess. i REALLY hate the way the men talk about the women on the orange tribe. and i don’t like that they call jan granny. especially since they do nothing around the camp. the women are getting the water, making the food and the men? sitting the water. and there it is. the outright sexism. fuck you guys. helen is eating with these comments against the men oof. thats fully correct ghandia unfortunately women never stick together in this game and all three of you will be picked off. wanna try that sentence again clay or are you just gonna keep stumbling through it. stop not jeff chastising clay’s choice of a nickname. i am so disappointed in you helen. truly. ghandia you have every right not to let it go. 

who wouldn’t for you clay, you fucking pig. ........a lot of people eat the organs of animals robb. and also why are you turning your nose up to perfectly good food just because it’s an organ. you guys have been starving for days but you draw the line there? he better pray one of the challenge isn’t gross food based. brian really has a high opinion of himself. great little piss baby got hurt and somehow its shii ann’s fault. can’t wait to hear him complain about this for the next three day. these people are so useless. how the fuck do you lose  whole fucking boat. the island isn’t mysterious you’re just stupid. ted is absolutely responsible for the boat but i’ll just blame it on you anyway clay. its more fun that way. ot instead of yelling you could just get out of the water and read the fucking note yourself. clay: its betting on food jan: its a gambling thing clay: no shit sherlock. okay,,,,,so you’re allowed to point out the obvious but no one else? your sexism is showing give me 10 minutes with him alone in a room and he’s coming back with at least three broken bones. helen what makes you think you won’t be out next right after jan. i hate when people say “oh i’d hate to do it but that’s the decision that the tribes made i have to vote for them” no you DONT you literally don’t have to. i can feel how much jeff doesn’t like robb. 

oh so we’re all just gonna drop that word whenever huh? shii ann now on a shit list. if you don’t want anyone to know about your secret alliance then don’t fall into silence the moment someone walks up while you’re talking. i don’t understand the constant judgement of jan. she seems really sweet and she just wants to have a fucking funeral for a bat okay? piss off. she deserves a better season honestly. firstly robb needs to stop saying baby to shii ann and secondly he truly does not know how to spell her name considering he keeps putting s.h.bye BITCH! thank god robb didn’t make to to merge. i don’t know what i would have done if he did. i get the vibe that jeff is so done with this season.

why did it look like brian was going in for a kiss with penny. really hate brian’s cockiness. rest of her life? its just survivor ken. penny does give mean girl vibes. yeah shii ann leaving tracks for this tribe

#lumina was my favorite growing up#hmds version#first bokumono game i played#i loved the crap out of that game. played it for hours#loved gazing at lumina's cute little laughing portrait when i gave her flowers. fell in love with her blushy smile when you gave her tea#anyways there's a bug in her third rival event with rock where it shows the fourth rival event instead#rock was always bullying lumina and as a kid i hated him. i wanted her!!! i would treat her right!!!!#during the fourth rival event the rival pairs become engaged#and i was devastated#when lumina said she had fallen in love with rock#i legitimately cried#i turned off my game and vowed to stay away from the goddess pond (where the event triggered) until I gave her a blue feather#anyways sorry thats more like a rant with a tidbit of info than an info dump#in the booklet that came with hmds it mentions the lumina wouldn't be impressed with any old trinket you dig up from the mines#but actually most of the items that spawn on the first floor of the mine are among her liked items#including necklace bracelet sunblock and facial mask#she also likes or loves every curry dish in the game#EXCEPT curry noodles#which means she loves curry but hates noodles more#also i would like to brag that i gave her at least one of every liked/loved item she has#which meant that romancing her took longer but kid me did not care abour that#thanks for coming to my ted talk

okay listen, when I was baby and playing HMDS long before I realized anything about myself, I was so fixated on marrying all the girls and while Kilala is still my number one I was VERY enamored with Leona for a long long time. Her smile when you gave her things, her silly little blush when you got her FAVORITE things. I was capital Obsessed. I was, unfortunately, very stupid as a child. I was maintaining two files at the time, one for Leona and one for Flayn. I was all ready to pop the blue feather for Leona, saved the file, and switched over for a small while to play my Flayn file. I saved to the same slot as always...or thought I did :') And when I went to go load the Leona file I was initially very confused as to why it wouldn't load, and kept loading the same spot as where I was on the Flayn file. And then I realized, and then I quit the game for MONTHS out of devastation and continued playing DS Cute instead. 0/10 experience

Anyway, Peter Parker is Bi, and I Won’t Be Convinced Otherwise.

Firstly, we have to get our bases covered. What exactly is Bi-sexuality? What is sexuality? 

Sexuality is defined as a persons identity in relation to gender(s) they are attracted to. Why is this important? Peter’s sexuality has never been specifically stated in the comics, nor in any other form of media. It’s assumed that he is straight because of his popular relationship with Mary Jane Watson in the comics, and the movies. 

Now that we have a bases for what exactly sexuality is and how it’s defined, let’s go over Peter’s partners. 

Obviously Peter and Mary Jane are a piece of comic book history. They eventually get married, though sadly, during the events of Civil War II (I think, don’t quote me) Peter and Mary Jane sell their marriage to Mephisto in order to save Aunt May

They later had their memories of their marriage restored, they have yet to get back together and it’s been a few issues if I remember correctly. Next we have Peter’s first, and most unfortunate love, Gwen Stacy. 

They dated in high school where she later died. Of course, Peter has dated other people (namely, Black Cat, Betty Brant, Carol Danvers, Anna Maria, Cindy Moon, Lian Tang, and so on). Since we have his known history of heterosexuality out there, we need to move onto another important part of Peter’s Bi-sexuality. An important implication in any media, especially queer media though, and that is the homoerotic subtext. 

Homoerotic subtext is important part of queer culture, a lot of the time it’s used to portray a characters queerness without saying it out (see: Dorian Gray by Oscar Wild or Great Gatsby By Fitz). In current decade, homoerotic subtext is often used for queer baiting or creating more realistic male friendships. 

So what’s the difference between someone creating a health male friendship (or a character comfortable in their heterosexuality) and implying a character is queer? 

Here are some examples of a healthy male character, both with himself and his friendships.  

Clearly he’s just taking the shit, and messing around with Reed. He’s comfortable enough (or as I like to see it, so traumatized because good god this guy has been Spider-Man since he was 15 good god that’s awful. He probably doesn’t care anymore). Here are some examples of Peter a little more than just a straight man shooting the shit. 

This has three meanings. Two of which I will take, one of which is just deeply embarrassing. Despite Peter’s history with humiliating events, I don’t think he would get his own spunk in his eyes. Leaving the other two options, he has experience getting spunk of - some kind - in his eyes, and/or he’s taking the shit again. Which is very likely. 

Kissing a cop? For....no reason? A little not so hetero of you Peter. 

You can practically hear his disappointment in his voice. Also could be read as taking the shit, but why would you. 

Making out with The Thing? Gay. 

This one is the most important. Peter is clearly tired, annoyed by his teammates (see wolverine being wolverine in the corner). Shits on fire, its mid battle, and Peter has the audacity to mutter “I hate men” to himself. The only people I have every heard say this in that was are lgbt and straight women, and lgbt men. This kind of expression only comes from people who date, or deal with men in a completely different world than straight men. Straight men use this phrase as an endearment, “Oh have you seen Bill today, I hate that guy.” “Man Jerry can do so many push-ups, I hate that guy.” Very different language, and implications (I also, obviously don’t know how straight men speak). 

 Now that we’ve gone over our bases, and homoerotic subtext. How else could we gather that Peter Parker is Bi? There are many tropes in media - queer media - that allure to a characters queerness. Like homoerotic subtext, there are ways to tell an audience something without specifically saying it. 

This is a gay wedding Peter went to in the recent comics. I don’t know if any of you have been to a gay wedding recently, but Peters face (the first panel above the wedding) is the same exact face I made at my first gay wedding. It’s the face of excitement for not only the couple, but for yourself. The hope that maybe, you too can actually be in a same-sex relationship. 

I’m also going to allure to queer tropes as stated previously. Such as the real, and fictional trope of lgbt people sticking together. Thousands of years of belittlement and oppression will make groups of people not want to wonder out, and subconsciously look for others like them. 

Johnny Storm (and Wade Wilson since he comes in later but I couldn’t find a picture of the confirmation) is cannon Bi-sexual (Pan-sexual). 

Their friendship is deeply homoerotic as most queer friendships in media and real life are. Johnny flirts with Peter on many occasions (saying his ideal women is a female version of Peter, inviting him over to watch is sex tape, and so on) and of course oh my god they were roommates. 

Some other popular queer tropes are: Found Family, Soulmates, and Enemies to lovers. Because it’s superhero related, this includes the Identity Porn tag as well.  

Peter Parker and Wade Wilson have a famous Love/Hate relationship. I mean, how could you expect anything less when your first meeting with this known mercenary is him throwing your civilian persona out the window of a car. Now, Wade still doesn’t know Peter is Spider-Man in the current run of comics, but that doesn’t make anything about them any less gay. 

For the Found Family Trope: 

Because it’s Peter and Wade, their whole development can be read as Enemies to Friends to Lovers, so I wont bother backing that up because, uh, it speaks for itself. One panel really does to add that cause though 

I’m not going to explain what a free-pass list is.

The Soulmates part I know I have to back up. 

For SoulMates:  

Now this panel requires a little explanation. Wade kills Peter, not knowing he’s Spider-Man. Weasel takes over for Peter (they don’t know its him) so no one suspects he’s dead. Deadpool begins to feel guilty he killed his best buds best bud, so he tries to bring Peter back to life. Losing his stunning good looks (switching back to how he looked before Weapon X making his wife Shiklah estranged (then she married Dracula but thats beside the point)). Spider-Man is Peter’s “true self” or patronus for Harry Potter fans. Wade is stupid and hasn’t connected the dots yet, effectively making him the biggest simp in history. Seriously, who destroys their marriage for the c h a n c e for getting some with their idol? A Simp, that’s who.

Peter forgives Wade for killing him (and for saving him from killing their genetic daughter itsy-bitsy). If someone killed me they better be hot as fuck before I even thing about forgiving them. Ignoring Peter’s super sexy forgiving nature, uh, he’s kinda simping. 

Died in each others arms. Nothing else is needed. 

They’re heartmates. From what I read, the feeling has to be mutual in order for it to work. The witches (long story, comics are hard to explain) that captured deadpool were expecting his wife so they could get the headmistress back. Instead, they got Peter. Basically Heartmates = soulmates but chosen for you instead of chosen by you. 

To conclude my point: 

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. 

[dreamsy990]

so ur in the dbh fandom so whats ur take on the alice being an android twist

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT YOU JUST SIGNED UP FOR

OKOKOKOKOKOK SO I HATE THAT FUCKING THING

*inhale*

the twist adds NOTHING to the game. in fact it NEGATES from the game.

the whole point of kara and alice's story was for it to show that even android/human families can still love each other just as much as any humans would.

now HOW does alice being an android add ANYTHING to that??????????????

SPOILER ALERT, IT DOESNT.

alice being an android TAKES AWAY from the whole. loving them even if their blood isnt the same or whatever IDEA IT WAS GOING FOR. its a twist FOR THE SAKE OF A TWIST

its also just. really predictable. i remember guessing it immediately and wondering if theyd do something with it. they did not.

the only thing that is even AFFECTED by this twist is the whole uh. if you fuck up kara while escaping jericho theres a bit where you can get brought to an android camp with alice???????? thats the ONLY THING affected by this twist.

the game wouldve been better if she just. was not an android

the only other thing i can think of that might actually be changed if alice was human would be todds story/trying to get him not to expose kara at the border bus thing. and to that i say. JUST GIVE HIM CUSTODY OF THE REAL ALICE. heres uhh how i think the story shouldve played out instead to give it roughly the same ending:

alice had a relatively happy home life, until her mom walked out to go be with some fucking accountant or whatever. in the divorce, todd managed to get custody of her. todd diludes himself into thinking alice WANTED to be with her mom (whether or not its true is unclear) and takes out all his anger on her.

there you go rough idea that gives the same result. all you have to do is change alices line in on the run from "why didnt he ever love me?" to "why didn't he love me anymore?" and THERE YOU FUCKING GO

it would also make alice's being cold less annoying in retrospect because. shes genuinely cold shes a child she complains she has problems like that. androids dont feel cold and you can literally turn off her temperature sensitivity at the end.

i always found that moment just. so stupid when its revealed. like all you had to do was nothing. like instead of revealing alice is an android maybe luther wants to say that... idk alice is having nightmares and is traumatized and needs some support because shes in the middle of a war running away from home and has witnessed multiple deaths like. shes fucking traumatized. and have the moment be just kara comforting her and promising that once they cross the border it'll all be over and she'll be safe and she wont have to worry about getting hurt anymore.

as for the camp, i honestly dont know since i havent played through it yet. but i dont see how we couldn't, i dunno, have alice being kept somewhere so she can be taken to find her parents so theres a time limit and kara needs to find her before shes gone or she cant escape with her???????????? idfk i havent seen that section of the game yet. im probably gonna play it later tbh

but like. these are small changes that get rid of whats supposed to be a big twist. if your "big twist" can be removed with minimal changes, and it actively goes against the themes of what youre making, then its a bad fucking twist.

thanks for coming to my ted talk
