The true BL trope evolution...

Bury the Gays -> Bury their parents - Bury their homophobic parents

We are in stage 2.

[rhfffas]

Fuck Amazon, fuck Netflix, fuck Disney, seriously, fuck all these homophobic especially lesbophobic companies, fuck them for canceling wlw shows!

[lupuslikethewolf]

sorry not sorry if this offends people but the “bury the gays in source material except oh wait lol they arent actually dead now and now they’re living their best lives in another continant its so sad he will never see his kids or his dragon again oh well lets not talk about it” is still better than “bury the gays except one of them is now in Super Mega Hell and the other got impaled but not in the way you think it was a rusty nail in a wall and they will never see each other again oh and the love was never reciprocated lmao”

Thai BL can't Bury the Gays! I'm sorry it just can't. Neither can just about any other BL or GL. BL isn't American television! Western tropes have no power here!

thinking about how anika fought against ghostface to protect mindy and told her to go first KNOWING she was very likely going to die… crying and screaming rn she deserved better

[a-potato-dream]

I feel the need to add killing eve to this list even though it finished rather than get cancelled, because of the completely unnecessary use of "bury the gays"

@pscentral​ EVENT TEN: best of 2022

shows that aired and were cancelled in 2022 with wlw centric romance

I like the new twist on the bury you gays trope

They are still dead, but we unburied them. Their ghosts are now haunting the narrative forever. Yeah they are still being gay and dramatic but they have eternity to figure it out. Literally can not get rid of these gays now. They don't even have bodies to bury. Can't send em to superhell they'll climb right back out.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

Happy Birthday Everyone BBC did not stay down despite getting shot

The Dabi dance reveal remains iconic

[strawlessandbraless]

Misha: So then Warner Brothers asked me to falsely stay out as bisexual as publicity for their show that ended two years ago, even though they killed my character, and then the man I loved

Mads (sympathetic): They killed Hannibal and Will too

Millie: They’re probably gonna kill Will Byers

Is this the bury your gays convention?

[drchucktingle]

honored by the kind words of asexual buds just now learning about my NOT POUNDED BY series. you should know that while BURY YOUR GAYS is a love letter to fandom and creation, it is also for my ace buds and a rallying cry for ace validity in queer spaces

that is not an AFTERTHOUGHT with the book. when i set out to write BURY YOUR GAYS i was specifically thinking about the ace buckaroos who trotted with chuck and helped guide me through the first few NOT POUNDED BY BOOKS. i wanted to write something to honor their fight

[toomanycartoonswithnotenoughlove]

'kay, so I just finished Chuck Tingle's Bury Your Gays, and I don't know if it was in the promos or what, but I went in blind, and the Goncharov parallels were not only undeniable, but striking in their poetic implications. Also, the Gonch himself is just fuckin' there, at some point. Good book. Good book.

The Water Outlaws by S. L. Huang

Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Bandits of Liangshan proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Together, they could bring down an empire. 

Now available in paperback!

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

The long-awaited sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it. Welcome back to Marsyas Island—home to six magical and purportedly dangerous children. This is Arthur’s story.

The West Passage by @jpechacek

When the Guardian of the West Passage dies in her bed, the women of Grey Tower feed her to the crows and go back to their chores. No successor is named, and no hand takes up the fallen blade, so the West Passage—the ancient byways of the beast—goes unguarded. This is a weird and delightful journey across a deliriously medieval landscape where decay thrives in abundance and giant Ladies rule a palace the size of a city. 

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker

On the thirtieth anniversary of the largest magical massacre in New Orleans history, Clement and Cristina Trudeau mourn their father and care for their sick mother. But their mother isn’t sick, they learn: She’s cursed. Cursed by a member of the same magic council over which she used to preside. Cursed by someone who will come for Clement and Cristina next. 

Now available in paperback!

Bury Your Gays by @drchucktingle

After so many years, Misha’s big Oscar moment is here. All he has to do? Kill off the gay characters in his long-running streaming series, “for the algorithm.” Misha refuses, but that’s hardly the end, because monsters from his old horror movie days have begun to step out from the silver screen and stalk him. 

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo

The Cleric Chih accompanies a young bride to her wedding to Lord Guo, the aging ruler of a crumbling estate, but amid the elaborate courtesies and extravagant banquets, they realize something haunts the shadowed halls. As the big night nears close, Chih will learn that not all monsters dwell in shadows; some hide in plain sight. 

Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr

1) An unassuming librarian falls in love with a powerful witch. 

2) Previous librarian discovers she too is a witch…

3) …and that she must attend magical community college to learn how to save her new world from annihilation. 

Swordcrossed by @fahye

Part-time con artist / full-time charming menace Luca Piere didn’t expect to get blackmailed into teaching a chronically responsible merchant Matti how to wield a sword. He also didn’t expect to find his charge so inconveniently handsome, or to get so entangled in his tale of intrigue, sabotage, and matrimony. 

It’s important to read Swordcrossed because while you’re reading gay fiction, you can also study the blade.
