#brought to you by learning there's a het marcus flashback in the new exorcist episode or smthn

[marley-manson]

so i’m rly rly rly craving a genre show with a gay main character who never has hetero sex and/or romance, at least not on screen

and on the one hand i’m feeling kind of ungrateful bc having main characters in surprise same sex romances in general is new and wonderful and i die of happiness every time

but on the other hand my god out of all the genre shows i can think of with same sex romances (featuring central main first-or-second-billed characters, not like the token gay bff or supporting ensemble cast) i only know of one (1) where we don’t see either character in a het romance/sexual encounter, and that’s yuri on ice. and i think it’s partly why yuri on ice was so damn refreshing and enjoyable ngl

like i say this as a bi but it’s not just same sex romance i’m craving, it’s also an absence of heterosexuality on the way there, and it’s bumming me out how rare that is. like i want a gay genre show.

i think this is also partially due to fatigue from spending most of my life hc characters as bi or gay-with-past-compuslory-het because that’s what you have to do when there’s no canon gay and like damn i just want some characters totally free from het yk? ofc there’s nothing wrong with bi characters or gay characters who had past het romances before coming out to themselves but let’s balance it out a bit plz
