Me: I hate this school. If I murder someone and have to flee American law enforcement will your family shelter me?
Idi: Dunno about them, but I also don't care, I'll shelter you. There's a couple of great hiding spots in a nearby forest
Me: Great, thanks

I don’t like making my own posts, but after waking up to the news that there was a pogrom in the Netherlands, I would just like to say this:
I am a North African Jew. Many would call me an “Arab Jew”, because I look like an Arab and I am treated like an Arab here in North America unless I’m wearing a kippah. My family was terrorized, murdered, and exiled from Libya in the 1960’s and we cannot return because they would kill us
White people may feel uncomfortable saying this, but I do not. Arab society has a problem with antisemitism that must be seen. Middle Eastern Jews have been talking about our experiences with Arab antisemitism for many decades and are constantly silenced. There is an undeniable, vitriolic, hatred of Jews that has been normalized in Arab society, and Arab extremists are now being emboldened to act on that hatred, not just in Arab countries but anywhere in the world
I don’t believe that Arabs are violent or dangerous by nature. They don’t hate Jews by default because they are Arab. This is not about individual Arab people, and individual Arab people should not be punished for problems in Arab countries or the antisemitic actions of other Arabs. This is about the antisemitism that is deeply ingrained in Arab society and culture
Individuals have the opportunity to choose whether or not they want to participate in this hatred. Yes, when you have grown up your whole life being told that Jews are your enemy and that it is good to fight them, it is much harder to make the choice to not act on this because it is all you know, but there are many who still choose peace with Jews. I have many Arab Muslim friends who have no problem being friends with a Jew. My family have many stories about Arab Muslim families trying to save Jews. I have had also many experiences with threats and intimidation and even assault by Arab Muslims because I was wearing a kippah or Magen David
My Arab friends who come to Shabbat dinner at my house and the Arab men who pushed me onto the ground and spat on me and called me a yahood are all equally Arab. The Arabs who call for peace and the Arabs who hunted down Jews in Amsterdam yesterday are all equally Arab. The difference is because my friends and the people calling for peace see Jews as human beings like them, whereas the people committing violence have allowed them to be swayed by Arab nationalist antisemitism
I always hold my tongue when I talk to white people about my experiences with Arab antisemitism or post about them because I know that many people will insist that you can’t criticize Arab extremists without being racist. YOU can’t criticize Arab extremists without being racist because you are a racist white person. I am a North African Jew with firsthand and familial experience with Arab antisemitism both in Libya and in the other places we have lived. I am tired of holding the burden of other people’s racism so I’m posting this without caring if it makes them mad. I’m not going to be responding to hateful responses. I will just block you, so don’t bother

i just saw someone say we need to talk about anti-australian attitudes in f1 and im so serious when i say i need f1 fans/drivers to dead this wrong passport conversation. british bias is one thing ( tho im still skeptical about it bc why won’t british sources be biased when the others are) but ppl are bordering on claiming the rest of these white europeans are experiencing racism. i’ve even seen max and fernando get credited for “ calling out colonizers” when the wrong passport conversation was going on like do not get me started on dutch colonial history ( cough cough south africa) and spains every thing. some fans legit think they need to advocate for these drivers which just ends up making drivers and their fans look out of touch ie ppl getting mad that piastri “ only” makes 6 mil. ✋🏾
i feel like someone just hit me across the face with a metal pipe what do you mean people are saying that there are anti-australian attitudes in sport and getting mad that oscar makes 6 million a year (even though with bonuses he actually makes way more)?
i. i honestly don't know what to say. white people are just desperate to be oppressed i guess. i'm not going to lie, i do find fernando's indignant "they punish me because i am spanish" to be funny, but only when we all understand that he is absolutely not oppressed or marginalised for that in any way and is in fact being delusional. the idea that fernando and max are calling out colonizers is actually ridiculous and i think people need to go back to school to learn what spain and the netherlands did to other parts of the world. like. why do they think so much of south america speaks spanish?
i will also say though, that i do think british bias exists and is worthy of complaint in f1 spaces. because yes other countries have their media, and that media is biased, but no other country has as much power and influence in f1 media as the british media do. it's not just about sky or other british networks, it's about the media personnel working for f1 directly, it's about the media personnel working for websites etc., it's about the default international coverage being british (and no acknowledgement being made of that within their broadcast), it's about the access that the british media have to the paddock and the teams and the drivers. i'd say that somewhere between 50% to 80% of the f1 media are british, which is a massive, massive amount of influence in comparison to any other nation, and they are not shy about using it to push certain narratives that were not necessarily true, and had a direct impact on real people's lives

males costed dems the election, and that is not their fault
for whoever cares for outsider analysis, what costed Dems this elections was in fact the male vote, and nothing else.
we live in an age of identity politics. yes, people vote bc of economic and foreign policy reasons too, to curb inflation and end foreign wars they perceive to be useless... but ppl exist within peer groups and information spheres and these things are not always determinant. like, you can get a pro-union and anti-fossil fuels candidate elected under inflation. but that didn't happen.
what costed this election to Dems is political masculinism (and i mean this neutrally, as a political defense of men's issues, not as a pejorative or with any anti-feminist connotation), the reactive mirror of "woke politics". the only reason a coalition of minority male voters vote like white men and women is bc they're mobilized more as men to the right than as minorities to the left.
one of the main failures of the left is, in turn, thinking this is at all about reproductive rights. men in general are not mobilized to restrict abortion, that's an opportunistic baggage that conservatives put into the agenda. men are not mobilized to vote "against women", but to what they perceive is the only available vote for themselves, for their own presence and visibility.
males raised as men with male peers (generally cis straight, but not always) have voted right bc the left has become the empty identity politics of feminism and queer identities, and they're not just absolutely disconnected within progressivism, unheard and disenfranchised, but have been bombarded by years of "male=bad" and nothing else within all the social theories lingo of patriarchy, toxic masculinity, etc, most articulated very shallowly by people whose only drive is resentment and power grabs.
what can one expect from slogans like "the future is female", for gen z males to just go "ah ok"? it is not absurd that at least the response of half would be "that's not me! and i was just born two decades ago, so i actually want a future too!".
also, know why i know this? it's bc i'm male and european. most of my close intimate friends are women and queer people, but i do have a few straight male friends, and i talk to them and listen.
all electoral trends in europe pointed in this direction. and... this isn't nearly the end of it. diverse white nationalism, anti-islam homonationalism and feminationalism, have also been at play. most french LGBTIQ people and french jews already vote far-right to right-wing parties. same in the netherlands, etc, as in european politics the socialist parties have become the sole house of antizionist/islamist politics with no pro-jewish counter-balance.
the MAGA movement has a very dangerous pyromaniac in the front, who yes, is illiberal, but even the POTUS is just an office, and the constitution and army still protect the american republic.
i would be worried that Dems are losing all relatability and electoral competitiveness everywhere that isn't a blue city - many people live elsewhere, including people who need reproductive and LGBTIQ rights and protection from the right-of-MAGA America First menace, the actually self-declared antidemocratic and anti-American christian nationalism. doubling down on woke talking points and male-bashing is really going to do nothing, bc even with democracy intact, elections still have to be won by convincing the public, not shaming them or condescending to them or saying they aren't in the future.

Diaboys (+Yui) Ideal Vacation destination •3•
•Yui grew up so sheltered, she barley saw anything in Japan X-X. So I think she should visit Mt. Fuji first, you know, get to know see the main attraction of her country. She definitely has dreams to travel the world tho.
•Shu does NOT travel. Too much effort. But if he did I think somewhere very secluded. I really like the Idea of him in Greenland, but it might bring back some traumatic memories… (the girls that get it, get it). So maybe and Icelandic Island, or somewhere in the Scottish highlands (can someone please draw Shu chilling with Nessie X-X).
•Reiji is fluid in German so I think he should visit the alps, but the Austrian ones. With all due respect I don’t think my man can handle north Germany X-X (as a German who’s das lives in north Germany, but grew up in the south. I know). I also have a headcanon, that Reiji is very good at skiing. Not sure if he can understand Austrian alp dialect (my grandmas from there so again. I know) but I believe in him
•Ayato would probably be somewhere warme. To do all the water sports and stuff. I really like the Idea of him in Mexico
•Kanato CAN’T go anywhere too warm or sunny. I think Switzerland, the mother of chocolate (let’s not talk about where chocolate is ACTUALLY from). Swiss chocolate just hits different
•Laito goes to Greece. It’s just right.
•Subaru is also not a travel man, but I like him in either the Netherlands or New Zealand. I can’t explain it just feels right
•Ruki would probably go somewhere in the Caucasus area, like turkey or Armenia (yes I know turkey isn’t actually Caucasus area, but I forgot the English word for it). Like I totally think he would explore the remains of Troy (if it really was troy) and go to archeological sights. I also like the idea of him in west Africa for the same reason.
•Yuma would go to a small village in Calabria (I hope that’s also what it’s called in English, but anyways it’s in south Italy). He would have his own little garden there and gets along great with the locals, despite not speaking a word of Italien.
•Kou has traveled the world, since yk he’s famous. So I think he’d go on a wellness retreat on a mountain in Nepal, or to live with yaks in Mongolia.
•Azusa would either go to the middle of the Saharan desert or to Siberia. No in between. I like him more in Siberia tho. Fun fact: my fathers from a little city in the very VERY west of Siberia, and I’d just think it’s cute if he went there :3 (I’ve literally never been there, even tho I’d really like to go. I just know my dad was born there)
•The Tsukinamis travel together. No other option. If it were up to Carla (which it mostly is) they take a tour around Europe. If it were up to Shin, they’d go somewhere tropical, and very much not Europe, like maybe Kongo or somewhere in South America.
•Kino goes to Korea. Again I can’t explain it, it just makes sense. I won’t specify which Korea… because he would just go to both

GDP and GPD per capita isn't effective at measuring neither a country's nor its citizens standard of living, wealth, happiness, health or development rate. It is only a wage indicator of monetary traffic.
HDI is a slightly better indicator, but the US is also only on the 21st place regardless, behind Canada, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Denmark.
The US has the worlds strongest military. Yes, this is true. But would China or Russia be a better country if they had a stronger one?
If we look at the crime rates, the US is at 89 out of 147 countries, beaten by Morocco, Italy, Vietnam, Kazakhstan and Moldova.
The only thing the US is really the best at (if we don't count the military) is its economy, which is still ranked first globally. But I don't know how that's good for any citizen when their standard of living still isn't as good as it could be.

elbiotipo · 2 years ago
Note
I need to share what I had to witness in the Youtube comments section of a video about the pros and cons of living in the US and Europe, which had me thinking "I wonder what elbiotipo would think of this": there was an Argentinean saying that he moved to the US 10 years ago (he didn't state how old he is now), and claimed that he knows the "European way of life" due to growing up in Argentina (???), so he really made it look like he knows what he's talking about and can say which of those places are better to live, then saying he prefers the US. I think what made this even funnier is that another user replied to that guy, one that grew up in Netherlands and moved to Argentina, and added that Argentina is not like living in Europe at all and there's no such things as an European way of life since we're talking about a whole continent, unlike the US. Now I knew Argentina has this bad fame of being perceived as "European" but that's probably the first time I see one that genuinely believe they're the same. It reminded me of some of the gaúchos we have in Brazil but that guy was being a bit more extreme about it
There are a bunch of assholes (mostly upper class people in my experience) in Argentina who believe they are Proper Europeans unfortunately Cursed to be born in Latin America and they want to Escape From Latin America and go back to Europe, or if that fails, to a "proper country" like the US (I'm sure you've heard of these guys, if gaúchos in Brasil are any similar) That guy sounds particulary unbearable. Like I'm imagining him talking and I want to tell him to go shit himself.
And yes, there are many sections of Argentine society that are proud of their "Europeaness", after all, it was the Eurocentrism encouraged during the XIX-early XX centry administrations to "civilize the country". The truth is that Argentina does have a majority of inmigrant descended people, and this has been considered -especially by the Porteño elite- the core of the country, dismissing all the other people who make this country. This is the core issue with racism in Argentina; the belief that European inmigrants (we never tak about Asian, Middle Eastern ones...) built this nation, and the rest are just useless people, or even aren't there because all Argentines came from Italy and Spain (this is why you find people saying Black Argentines or Indigenous Argentines "don't exist", which you can see is patently untrue the moment you walk through any street). I'm not mincing words here, this is how racism expresses itself here.
In some cases, it has expressed itself as a rejection of the country itself, like "this country is shit, I wanna go back to my grand(grandgrand, usually)parents home in First World Europe". The funny thing is that comments like that Dutch person show the truth: for all their eurocentrism, they are still Latinos born and raised here and their idealization of Europe or the US makes no sense, because they have no idea how's life there; they BELIEVE they do because they're white and wealthy, but they don't. They're basically highly privileged assholes who want to shit higher than everybody else, and since money isn't enough, they start claiming cultural/racial kinship with a First World that doesn't care about them.
You can't escape from Latin America if you're not a Latin American first.

Hello and a happy El WooWoo to everyone, but more importantly, a happy birthday to Simon Snow!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Thank you @blackberrysummerblog​ for the tag.
I have a long post, actually. I am surprised myself, and also, it is not about my thesis (🤯) for a change. But anyway, a few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the Glee podcast And That’s What You Really Missed and about how they discuss Asian racism in the show, and how it resonated with me. Good ole @thnxforknowingme​ reblogged it and it got some traction and I liked reading everyone’s tags. At the end of the post, I mentioned that I started writing a fic/character study to sort of “reclaim” the weird shit that Glee put its Asian characters through. It’s about Mike, Tina, Blaine, Wes and an original character.
Tina and the OC’s story is about being adopted into a white family, Mike’s about moving to America from China as a young child, Blaine’s about being biracial and Wes’s about being the child of immigrants. As my post also said, I haven’t touched that fic since 2018. I did share some snippets of it before, here on my blog. You can find them here and here. But for this post (😉) I am opening this document again to post this:
“You learn to live with it,” Mike always says, “You start to accept casual racism from your friends.” And it’s true, but it still stings every now and then.
Mike and Tina always joke about the ‘Asian’ ‘Other Asian’ thing, but why does Coach Sylvester have to group them together like that?
Why do people always assume Mike and Tina are secretly related? Puck’s jokes about that aren’t funny anymore.
Mike knows Tina doesn’t like it when people say that they’re both Chinese.
Tina isn’t a ‘Geisha’, and people aren’t even willing to listen to her when she tries to explain that she’s Korean, not Japanese- and yes, Geishas are Japanese.
Mike and Tina are pretty sure they can eat with a knife and fork and Rachel can stop putting chopsticks in her hair.
Not gonna lie, this is good. I don’t wanna come off as conceited, but I had a rough time picking out a snippet. There are so many moments in this document (promptly called “Tina”) that are still so relatable. Also, I gave Wes the username GavelMan92. I don’t know if I will ever finish it. I can see from the document that I am writing this as a couple of standalone chapters, not one big fic, so maybe I can post some finished parts, although there is still a chronological order somewhere.
What do you guys think? Even if you aren’t a Gleek (hewwo Snowbazzians!), would you read an uncompleted fic that consists of vignettes? Or would it be better to publish all chapters separately and then add them to one series in AO3? I have written a bullet point fic for my SJAEU with this idea in mind: so that I can add later chapters out of order in a series. Even though I haven’t added anything to the SJAEU series yet (oop), it is an easy possibility and I have also been thinking about posting my Sense8/Glee AU in this way.
Ah, choices, choices.
And now, the weather. It’s calm after the storm. Yes, there was a storm in the Netherlands: @quizasvivamos @blurglesmurfklaine @coffeegleek @esperantoauthor @otherworldsivelivedin @caramelcoffeeaddict @sillyunicorn @bazzybelle @dragoneggos @raenestee @tectonicduck @nightimedreamersworld @urban-sith @thnxforknowingme @captain-aralias @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @takitalks @justgleekout @cerriddwenluna @tea-brigade @ivelovedhimthroughworse @moodandmist @whogaveyoupermission @bookish-bogwitch @confused-bi-queer @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @ionlydrinkhotwater @1908jmd @wowbright @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @larkral​ @chen-chen-chen-again-chen​ @cutestkilla​ @nausikaaa​/@wellbelesbian​ @artsyunderstudy​ @martsonmars​ @facewithoutheart​ @shrekgogurt​ @boyinjeans​ @rockitmans​ @bitbybitwrites​ @whatevertheweather​

What is your personal opinion about the personality of Spain as it is now and before? Do you send it with someone? I want to know more about Latin American characters like Mexico (personality, its people, if he is a native American or not, what are his thoughts with colonization and how he lives his life today...headcanons) ❤️🙈 i'm sorry and thank you so much
I hope I am understanding this correctly but I am assuming this is about how I headcanon Antonio's personality now compared to the past and my HCs with my Mexico OC
So as for Antonio. I headcanon his personality to be a lot more mellowed out than it was before. He's not nearly as violent as he used to be. He's also not nearly as insecure in his masculinity as he was in the past (I HC Antonio to be trans and have huge masculinity issues). However, he is still an asshole in my opinion. Given that the country of Spain itself does not seem to find any shame in their acts of colonialism, the way that I write Spain is that he typically doesn't either.
Yes, he definitely regrets a lot, but he himself does genuinely believe that he did Latin America a favor. Pride and ego plague him. He is a man with hubris. Because of this, apologies do not exist in his vocabulary. You're better off just asking anyone else for an apology because it won't come from him.
It's a bit hypocritical of him honestly. Because he views the Age of Exploration as an unhappy time and it's a big part of why my interp of Antonio gets antsy when his hair starts to get long. He cannot stand his hair getting long anymore as it reminds him of times he prefers to forget. Despite this, he does not seem to think about that time being unpleasant to the others around him.
Antonio doesn't seem to see the irony in this. If it's pointed out, he denies it. Or he makes up plenty of excuses. Like I said, he's hypocritical. He refuses to see it too.
He's very much someone who is two-faced. And this has been a recent development as he used to be just very transparent with everyone regardless of the consequences. However, you're only likely to get what he genuinely thinks and believes if you're one of his close friends. And he has very few of those. Francois, Gilbert, Portugal, and Lorenzo are the only people who genuinely see every side of him. Belgium and Netherlands I headcanon see it too, but he does still put up walls with him.
Antonio thinks it's easier that way. He's a lot more reserved than he lets others know and puts up a smile when he's able to. Letting people in is dangerous and letting his thoughts out is too. So it's better to hide it all.
NOW, as for my Mexico.
There's a lot of headcanons there but I will share some of the basic stuff. You can ask me for more any time!
My Mexico is the same as my Tlacopan OC. Now I do want to clarify something. I used to have my Tlacopan, Tenochtitlan, and Tetzcoco as triplets. This is because those OCs are not originally Hetalia OCs they're for a video game I'm working on where they are triplets. However, this doesn't make sense in the context of Hetalia due to histories. So they are simply siblings in the context of Hetalia and NOT triplets. Someone sent me an ask about that a while ago and I wanted to clarify.
SO, the reason that it is my Tlacopan OC as Mexico versus Tenochtitlan is because Xochitl is considered the safest option to her government. Because Tematlalehua (Tenochtitlan) is disabled, they don't want her representing the government. And because Huitzilihuitl (Tetzcoco) is openly gay and refuses to Hispanicize more than necessary, they don't find him to be a good option either. Thus, Xochitl (Tlacopan) was made into the representative of Mexico.
She is Nahua. So she is Indigenous. She is very proud of this fact despite everything that has happened to her and the government's continued efforts to erase Indigenous presence in Mexico.
Colonization was very hard for her. It destroys her home and she was already an adult at the time of everything happening. So she was an adult watching her siblings suffer and their people suffer. For this, she absolutely despises Antonio and refuses to play nice with him more than she has to diplomatically. But even then, she's cold towards him and does not give him the time of day.
My Mexico also does not have a good relationship with Alfred(when he is white because I love black/Native Alfred and that would change their dynamic). Their history is way too complicated and extensive with lots of bullshit, subjugation, and screwing over from Alfred.
Xochitl is otherwise a very motherly figure or an older sister type. She practices folk Catholicism and her teotl is Coatlicue. She's very sweet, loves to cook for her loved ones, and is always an open ear when something is wrong. She has a house full of little ceramic chickens. Just very Señora energy.
Xochitl is very dear to me. I love her so much. There's a lot that I could talk about with her but I need something to start with because there's just so much. I'm more than happy to talk about her because she is my beloved.

Hey just some like FYI for anyone who is moving to/just starting to live in another country (especially if you're moving from the US or Canada) PLEASE make sure you look up laws regarding rent. I remember 8 years ago when I first moved to the Netherlands from America I got this 10 square meter studio (yes it was that small I later found out it used to be a utility closet they turned into a room) right in the center of the inner city for €500 per month and I thought it was such a good deal. I later found out that not only were they (and every other landlord) scamming every foreign student that comes to their step, they were almost doubling the allowed rent. By the time I found out I was already moving out and had missed the time period I was allowed to make a complaint. Please watch out if you're a foreigner in another country because the landlords know how much you pay back home and they'll make you think you're getting a great deal but you're getting scammed.

I was thinking about this issue a lot recently. Not specifically House, but how you can't actually ever be sure with older people (or anyone, but it's more likely to be an older person in the global West) if they fall somewhere under the rainbow. For example, I was recently re-watching Dallas Buyers Club, which was based on the life of Ron Woodroof, an AIDS patient who sold unapproved, but relatively effective, medications to other patients, which allowed them to extend their lives for years longer than their doctors were predicting. The movie shows him as initially homophobic (while changing his mind later) and as having caught HIV from having a lot of unprotected sex with female prostitutes. It's definitely possible, especially if menstrual blood is present, viral load is high, or another STI is present, but it's still very low compared to the risk present in anal intercourse.
His Wikipedia article, however, says that while he lived an outwardly straight life, at least some of his contemporaries claim that he was bisexual. In fact, we'll never know what the truth was, because he didn't live long enough to see a time of greater tolerance, which might have permitted him to be more open about his sexuality, if in fact he was bisexual.
This is just one example. When I started getting back into the band Queen again, I made the mistake of reading Quora, and almost every day you see someone asking about whether Freddie Mercury was gay or bi. I think it's fairly clear that he was gay, but the debate rages on precisely because he lived in a time when being forthright about exactly how queer you were could destroy your career. Elton John came out as bisexual in the 70s and saw sufficient backlash that he went fully back into the closet in the 1980s. He married sound engineer Renate Blauel. They were married for four years, but Elton was still struggling with his sexuality. I remember reading somewhere that the marriage was never consummated, which I find difficult to believe, especially since his one of his motivations for marrying was apparently a desire to start a family, but I can certainly see sex being a problem. Now imagine if he had died at that time. Plane crash or overdose. Whatever. The point is that we would still not know the truth of his sexual identity, although EJ and gay are pretty much synonymous these days.
Even people much younger than these men struggle greatly with their sexuality, especially in relation to society and their families. Which brings us back to House. This is a show that debuted in 2004. The first country in the world to approve marriage equality is the Netherlands, just four years previously, in 2000. This was still very new and controversial, and homosexuality as an acceptable practice had a much more tenuous position in the minds of society than it does now.
I remember when Thirteen came out as bi on House, and my aunt stopped watching the show because she was so disgusted. In fact, I remember reading a biography of David Bowie around the same time, and another aunt disparaging it because she remembered that he was bisexual. This aunt today has no problem with bisexual or gay people, because most people take their cues on political issues from society, and society's take on LGBTQ issues has changed drastically in even the last twenty years. I am aware that there are areas in North America and Europe where the community is currently experiencing violent backlash, but that backlash is happening precisely because gay and bisexual relationships have been normalized.
Now think again about the time in which House was produced. It would have been impossible to have a hit primetime television show, which is precisely what House was, with a gay or bisexual lead, much less two. There is absolutely no way that it would have run for eight seasons if the showrunners had dared. Yes, the writers teased us, queer baited us, if you will, but only because they recognized the romantic potential of the relationship but could not give it to us forthrightly without sabotaging the entire production. House was one of the top earning shows on television at that time, so certainly no executive was going to approve that.
OK, so imagine now that House and Wilson are real people rather than television characters. Born in the sixties. Liberal and comfortable enough to make gay jokes and publically enjoy a very close friendship. But still old enough to be afraid. Not want to risk the public humiliation of upending their social standing. Of risking their few other close personal associations. Of having their fitness as medical professionals questioned, which would probably happen to Wilson, since he worked closely with children. Of questioning their own masculinity. Of risking the contempt of their parents (I know one guy around their age who is obviously gay but got married and had kids to please his mother, who also knows that he is gay but was unable to handle it). The likelihood of staying in the closet, of not taking the risk, even for the love of your life, is high. *Very* high.
Even today, in this supposed age of gay tolerance, there are people of all ages who remain deeply closeted for a variety of reasons. To please their families or avoid religious persecution or stalling their careers, and so many other reasons.
Viewed in this light, it's impossible to say who is gay or bi and who isn't, and even more impossible to say who would be out if conditions were more favorable. In fact, there would probably be far more people willing to question their supposed straightness and take a chance on loving the people that they are forced to view strictly as friends, due to cultural forces beyond their control.
I do think that House and Wilson were in love, canonically. I don't think they ever consumated it, or even admitted it to one another. In so many ways, their love story was a tragedy.

Touch starved
Summary: Bucky is touch starved and Dr Reynor knows it
Pairing: Bucky Barnes X F!Reader
Warnings: Fluff, my rubbish writing (it’s a warning)
A/N: I found this from a while to know and thought, why not upload it.
Tumblr media
”Y/n, Dr Raynor wants me to take you to my next session, she wants to meet you,” Bucky says softly while the two of you were eating breakfast at the compound while most of the others were on a mission.
“Alright, when is your next session?” You asked with a smile and reached out for his hand, knowing he sometimes has difficulty talking about his therapy, but he was making tremendous progress.
“Next Thursday.”
“Good, I’m free then,” you smiled and continued eating.
“Bucky, we have half an hour left to get to Dr Raynor, it’s a 20-minute ride. We almost have to go, darling,” you softly said and Bucky’s head rose from your lap with a groan.
“I don’t wanna go,” he whined.
“We have to,” you said with a smile as you caressed his cheeks.
“I’ll go if you give me a kiss,” he grinned.
“Are you bribing me?” You said cheekily.
“Maybe,” he said and kept looking at your lips.
“Well alright,” you said and pulled him downwards by his neck. Bucky quickly deepened the kiss so you wouldn’t let go and you sucked in a breath and kissed back.
“We have to go,” you murmured into the kiss but went back into it anyway.
Bucky pulled away and started to gather some things. “C’mon, we have to go,” he grinned and slapped your arse as he passed you.
“Bucky! You can’t do that to me!” You said and chased him.
“Bucky, I see you brought y/n with you,” Dr Reynor said as you all say down and he introduced you to her.
“Yes I did,” he said curtly.
You noticed Bucky’s uneasiness and held your hand open and he took it, already relaxing.
“Y/n, would you mind if I ask you some questions? They might be a little personal about your relationship,” she warned.
“Yeah of course,” you smiled.
“Are you going to do the notebook thing?” Bucky asked while looking down at your hand in his while he fumbled with your hand.
“You know what, I won’t,” she said and smiled lightly at you. You physically felt Bucky relax next to you. “Let me begin with a few basic questions to get to know each other, Is that alright?”
“Definitely,” you replied.
“Where did you grow up?” She asked with a kind smile.
“Well, I’m not from America, maybe you could hear it in my accent, but I’m from The Netherlands, I grew up in a house near the meadows in a quiet little town. We didn’t live in a farmhouse or anything but if you’d walk to the end of my street you could see the meadows.” You answered.
“Do you have any siblings?”
“I have a sister, she’s 4 years older than me,” you said.
“Do you have a good bond with her?”
“When we were younger we didn’t really do many things together since there is quite an age gap between us, and I always sort of was the annoying little sister, but as we got older we got along better,” you answered.
“When did you meet Bucky?” She kept on asking.
“I think it was in 2016,” you answered and looked at Bucky if it was right, he nodded with a smile.
“Did you two get along?” She asked.
“I wouldn’t say so no, the first time I saw him he attacked me. But that was totally not his fault, I assume you know that story as well?” You looked back at Raynor and she nodded with a smile.
“Yeah I do, what do you know about it? Bucky are you okay if we talk about this?” She asked once.
“Sure,” he grunted.
“I know the whole story. Do you really want me to tell it here again?” You looked at her and she nodded. So, you started talking about it. Everything you could remember. About his life before it happened, what hydra did to him and how he could remember all of it when he came back home from Wakanda. How he still had nightmares and how you tried everything to help him with them.
“Bucky I’m proud of you for telling her everything, you’re making progress,” she said and smiled at him.
“Thank you doc,” he said.
“Anyway, y/n, how did you two start dating?” She asked, going back to her questioning.
“Well, I felt drawn towards him even before I met him. Steve had told me about Bucky and their friendship in the 40s and how he missed him. Once I met him, like really Bucky, it was very brief but when we talked a bit it was nice. I went with him and Steve to Wakanda and to be honest I knew I was going to miss him but also knew it was the best for him. In the battle, I didn’t see him and afterwards, I heard from Steve he was blipped. We both had a hard time with all of it happening. But once he was back we were just friends for a while, but I started to feel more for him but I knew he wasn’t ready for it all, so I waited without saying anything. After like half a year he opened up to me about everything that happened to him and what he was dealing with and eventually how he felt about me and we took it slow it's been really great,” you smiled.
“It’s good to hear he listened to me, even though he might not admit it,” she smiled again.
“Have you two had sex yet?” She asked.
“Jesus Christ, doc, do you really have to know that? Want to know on what toe there is a mole too?!” Bucky asked angrily and stood up and walked to the window..
Raynor kept looking at you and ignored Bucky.
“No, not yet,” you replied calmly and shook your head.
“Seen each other naked?”
“Oh my god.” Came from Bucky.
“Yes.”
You talked with her for another while about Bucky and your relationship before she started to conclude.
“From all I’ve heard so far and what I’ve seen in the past te at with Bucky, I think he’s touch starved.”
Bucky scoffed beside you and looked away from the both of you.
“Alright, sounds quite logical actually,” you said softly and squeezed Bucky’s hand. “Is there anything we, or I, can do to help?”
“Yes, for starters you can do massages, it helps to calm down too,” she said and threw a sharp look Bucky’s way, “Of course, hugging and cuddling often helps too. Getting a pet might also help, if you have trouble with that because of your past I’ll recommend it. Also, skin-to-skin contact will do wonders. Furthermore, working your way towards having sex might also be a good idea. Of course, if you both don’t want it or one of you doesn’t, then don’t do it. But if you do, work towards it slowly and carefully. Because it creates a deep intimacy that can really help it. But as I already said twice, work towards it and don’t jump into it.” She said.
After a few seconds of silence, you all ended the session and you and Bucky went home to the compound.
“Bucky, what’s on your mind?” You asked and cradled his head.
“I’m not over how she kept firing questions at you,” he mumbled.
“And,” you said, knowing there was an and.
“And I’m really not sure if I’m ready to have sex in the near future, and if you want to go and date someone else, that’s fine but I’m just not ready,” he said and let a tear slip.
“Hey, hey, that’s okay, I’m not going anywhere buck, even if you don’t want to have sex at all, I’m not leaving you,” you said and kissed his face all over. “Don’t you ever think that,” you added.
“Okay doll,” he said with a smile. “I’m up for cuddles tho.”
“With a movie or without?” You asked and pulled him towards your room by his shirt.
“With, but I’m not promising I’ll have my attention on it the entire time,” he grinned.
“Same here,” you said and kissed him. “I wanna take a shower first though.”
“No I don’t want you too, you smell nice anyway,” he tried with a grin.
“Buck, I’m taking that shower, with or without you, I’m under that shower head in 10 minutes,” you said giving him a last kiss.
You and Bucky had showered together before, that’s why you’d seen each other naked and it didn’t surprise you when Bucky joined you. You didn’t worry about having sex in the shower with him, not because you didn’t want it but because you know he didn’t. You weren’t even sure he was familiar with the term shower sex.
Bucky held you close to him for a while in the shower while you tried to wash in his embrace. Once you were done he turned you around and kissed you passionately, squeezing your arse. You might not be doing it but that didn’t mean didn’t tease each other. After you washed up and Bucky washed your hair and you washed his and dried off, you started the movie, only in your underwear as you agreed to give the skin-to-skin contact a go.
Turned out, that Bucky had never felt better.

Do you have Headcanons about Finland and Sweden's relationship with America and Canada?
Yes, but to be honest I go a lot back and forth between them since I can't decide on when I believe they (Canada and America) actually "popped up". Especially Canada.
It's a popular headcanon in the Hetalia fandom that Canada used to be Vinland, however brief that period of time might have been, but that also means it'd technically makes sense Norway would be his biological father. Or as close as biological as nations can get anyway. - However, Norway has such strong Uncle Vibes in my head that I'm honestly not sure what to do with that. That, and I really like Sweden as a father figure for them over Norway...
Some people also imagine Canada to have "popped up" later though, such as with Novia Scotia and/or closer to when the French arrived. Either way there's no denying both hws Canada and America seems to have been influenced a LOT by the Nordics. Canada essentially has Norway's eyes and longer hair, Denmark's hair colour, glasses like Sweden and a weird mix between Norway's and Sweden's personality. Meanwhile America seems to have a mix of Finland's and Denmark's personality, Den's and Swe's haircolour and Den's eyes. The path to independence from their older brother figures also have some similarites between Sweden's and America.
It's also canon for Hetalia that (hws) Sweden and Finland were the ones who first found (hws) America. They were the ones who found him, but Sweden got injured by Netherlands when he (and Finland) tried to adopt America. (It's after this that hws Finland goes and talk/complain to France and England that Netherlands kicked them out.)
Sweden and Finland also have a lot of later history with USA and Canada, and in Hetalia it's canon America confessed he wanted a father figure. Finland offered to be his father and told America he'd even grow a beard when America basically told Finland that he might be able to see him as one if Finland looked older. x)
However, no matter what I or anyone else see Sweden's and Finland's "biological relationship" to be with the NA siblings in the future, I do believe Sweden and Finland would be great mentor figures.
I strongly believe Sweden and Finland, together or one by one, would be great stable figures in the NA's siblings lives and a more neutral party to show them the ropes of the nation world. It's obvious America and Canada still care a lot about both England and France, but there are always going to be things you don't want to ask the same people who raised you/ once witnessed you run around butt-naked because you threw a tantrum about clothes.
*(Cough)* With all said, you asked for some headcanons, SO!
.
- Finland and Canada have regular hockey practises with each other. Sweden sometimes join as well, but despite how much he loves the sport his eyesight makes it difficult to join during its' worse days.
- America once challenged Finland to paintball, at that point not knowing about Finland's history of sniping. America learnt his lesson the hard way after a crushing defeat. x)
- One day Kumajirou got lost during a world meeting and the entire world of nations were running around searching for him to make sure no humans accidentally found him first. Canada eventually found Kumajirou eating the building's entire stock of fish in the kitchen, and so they all went back to the meeting, announcing they found Kumajirou.
"Then whose polar did I find?" a confused Sweden asked to everyone's horror as he came inside, carrying another polar bear (cub).
To this day they still have no idea where the second polar bear came from, but it wasn't Kumajirou. 😂 Sweden was very sad he wasn't allowed to keep the lil' fella, but the polar bear was sent to a big secret nature reservate in north Canada, one that Canada himself takes care of. The polar bear is now living a happy life with a lot of fish of his own. x)
- Both America and Canada learnt the hard way that North America isn't the only continent with moose. Now they know. 😂 xD
- Both Canada and America have known how to build cabins and log houses for a long time, but Sweden later helped them master detailed whittling, general woodwork and carving.
- Both America and Canada have a soft spot for Sealand and Ladonia, who they view as some kind of mix between nephews and younger siblings.
- (ScotNor, SuFin & General BIG Family bonus) : Given how connected the NA siblings are to the UK-siblings, France and the Nordics, Finland eventually began to invite them all for Christmas in gigantic family celebrations. 😄
.
- SuFin bonus: America looks up to Sweden's and Finland's long and stable relationship as something he would want for himself in the future, and thus once tried to ask Sweden for dating advice. However...
Fin, from the other side of the house: "YOU'RE ASKING THE WRONG PERSON! SWEDEN WAS A PINING IDIOT FOR OVER A MILLENIUM WITHOUT TELLING ME ANYTHING - I WAS THE ONE WHO CONFESSED FIRST!"
America, looking at Sweden's embarrassed face: "Ah."
.
- Canada and Sweden are bear buddies, both having an interest in bears.
- Canada and Sweden go on regular visits to the polar bear reservate Canada has to visit the lil' random fella Sweden found during the Lost Kumajirou episode. x)
- Kumajirou has taken a big liking to Sweden. Cuba and Sweden are now the only nations Kumajirou allows to baby-sit him whenever Canada is off on business somewhere. 💙
- Both Finland and Sweden are really good bakers, something America's and Canada's sweet tooth appreciates a lot. 🧡
