dex pining after openly out nursey, it's a classic we all love it okay BUT!!!!!!!! have we considered the far superior nursey pining after an openly queer dex??? will comes to Samwell after growing up in small town conservative Maine and dealing with homophobia on his Jr hockey teams and he decides he's not gonna hide at college he wants to be the role model he needed as a kid. and he absolutely Thrives!!! he's open and out and Radiant and he makes casual queer jokes with bitty and nursey (who is either closeted or hasn't realized his own identity yet) is just obsessed with him but doesn't understand Why so he just continues sulking and maybe staring a dex a bit too long during practice......

I think the deleted scene is simply showing you how much Buck is cared for by the people he chose to be in his life, and from someone who craved that care and attention for so long I just think that's neat that Buck has so many people now that do, and idk I'm just happy for him

Takes everything in me to not believe and spread the internalized homophobia Ed nygma hc but the fact his only three relationships with women had the first one be a attempt of being normal and being traditionally masculine, the second one be a repeating of that, and the third having having so many fucking similarities to his past close friendship with Oswald, a gay man in love with him is….. certainly a choice to say the least

All evidence suggests yes

Remembering that the Buckley parents canonically hate nicknames is funnier now that Buck is gonna show up to his sister’s wedding with not only a surprise boyfriend but a surprise boyfriend who goes by a nickname ✨💖

i hate the 'homophobic snape' thing a lot in general, i mean it's worth noting basically his only friend through most of the books is also the only gay character lol.

but the truth about snape is he doesn't give a shit about stuff like that. I don't think he would have rly known about it if (big if) any of the marauders were gay-- like being 100% realistic I don't think as a teenager in the 70s he'd be above using homophobia as an insult if it was someone he hated. but also if it was someone he was friends with (mulciber) he would be accepting/not care. similar to the werewolf thing, i don't doubt he was frequently extremely vicious and offensive to remus about it but if it had been someone he liked (so lily or mulciber) who was a werewolf he would have been pretty accepting of it imo. if it was a random student he wouldn't have cared.

that being said i often dislike homophobia plots in fic in general because they always seem so gratuitous and over the top. it's obviously using snape as a mouthpiece for the most extreme vile (and out of character) views so that the marauders are justified in bullying him. like i don't think he was woke and politically correct (clearly) but be fr he doesn't care that much. and it's not that i don't think people should explore homophobia in their own writing, obviously, explore away, this is just why i personally dislike the way it's handled a lot of the time. it just so often feels contrived and insensitive to me, kind of misery porn-ish if that makes any sense. like to what extent is it necessary i guess

what if they were happy huh?? what then!!!!

i literally read the book of bill days ago but its only now kinda hitting me how fucked ford and bills whole thing was though cause ford literally talks about being so unable to sleep (to try to keep bill away), and when sleep inevitably caught up to him, he would wake up to his body abused and things messed with and he just couldnt seem to find an escape (and he literally didnt get to truly escape until 30 years later)

(also keeping people awake for unhealthily long periods of time is another tactic used to mess with and control people because of how it impairs brain function)

listing off the things we see in those few pages in the book of bill:

i mean, punching and scratching at a steel door for hours would be so damaging to your hands and probably hurt like hell for at least 2 days after. then bill says he was hitting fords head against a wall, though its said in a post-it as if its a joke, but he also isnt exactly above doing that, and honestly he says most things like its a joke.

i also dont need to say 'bill really doesnt know how to take no for an answer' because he makes that very clear in literally any interaction we see with him.

bill literally puts a venomous snake near ford while fords asleep, which could have killed him if he wasnt lucky+skilled enough to deal with it.

he nearly gives ford hypothermia, and in the same action actively threatens ford with the idea of making him jump off of a high spot, and like ford says, doesnt do it just so he can send a message to ford about how hes the one in control.

he gets ford in trouble with not only the law, but also with other people that are probably not very happy with him after. he mutilates fords body in several ways, and i dont think i need to go into detail on them because theyre... so ew. and he even exposes part of fords body to the world. like, its just taking his shirt off, but thats still showing off his body in a way that he didnt agree to or want

and then he attempts to (or purposefully fails to) call stan, using fords voice to threaten suicide and tell stan that ford never loved him.

and he punctuates it with a final power move, in a hallucination that he creates, hes messing with stans memories and making him feel like his body was basically about to implode

and like. okay, we all joke about toxic old man yaoi, and its a good joke and toxic old man yaoi is great and its an interesting ship, but holy fuck.

like. to say the absolute least, that had to be so, so deeply violating. its no wonder that when we see ford in the past, when he finally contacts stan, he looks like hes on the verge of shattering into a million pieces. he just went through, and still wasnt yet out of, some deeply abusive shit.

like... everything coming out lately both in this book and what ive heard is on the website, mixed with what we already knew from the show itself... the stans are both so, so fucking tragic dude. their whole lives were thrown away over things that really didnt even need to be the way they were, and then they both get into situations that are pretty damn screwed, and those situations follow them for the rest of their lives. its basically a miracle that things worked out in the end for them.

i dont really have a point, i just had to talk about all that. i read almost all of the book of bill in one sitting, and while i was really enjoying it, i was also getting kind of tired of sitting in one spot only doing this one thing for several hours straight. i still felt a lot of the emotional bits of it of course, but man this part specifically just really didnt hit me until now.

i mean, to say the absolute least, i know what its like to feel violated in a similar way, though not anywhere near to the extent of what he went through at all. someone get that man some therapy got damn

thinking about the aftermath s6 ep11 of house (the one were wilson and house pretend they're gay). house keeps shutting down his team's ideas and he says "lowkey broskis. this is kinda homophobic" (Taub takes the bait bc he doesn't know any better) "House, your not gay."

"hmmmmm yes I am. Wilson is too, I mean I think he is. you dont really propose to a guy because you want a girl... Wanna see the pics :)"

Thirteen and Foreman proceed to fujoshi and fundashi out respectively while Chase and Taub have their own inner monologs

IM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THIS LMAOOO

[usercelestial]

I sort of enjoy that Isaac, seemingly Colins closest friend (at least on the team), was the one to make a casual homophobic comment. I think straight people tend to forget how hurtful those comments can be especially when they don't have any gay friends, and obviously football is a sport rooted in homophobia and toxic masculinity so I think that Isaac's comments and that whole conversation where being gay is sort of "the joke" is realistic in the way its normalized amongst the locker room talk. Even though he's Colin's (best?) friend, he still makes jokes and comments that he doesn't recognize as hurtful or bigoted because they work in a culture of homophobia. I think this also leaves a lot of room for growth for Isaac. When he finds out Colin is gay, he may be hesitant and come around eventually or he could become defensive over Colin, maybe recognizing the way he's made Colin feel uncomfortable and trying to over correct by punching a fan who may have made homophobic remarks to Colin (or in general but more likely to Colin). Isaac doesn't seem overly aggressive about this or anything honestly, and he seemed genuinely worried about Colin this episode by earnestly checking in and saying "You're alright" to Colin's mantra- that honestly could have been made fun of because of its vulnerability but Isaac didn't, he showed support in asking; which is also why I think Isaac isnt actually of the belief that gay=gross, I think the way he talks is just the product of the normalized, casual homophobia in the sports field. Anyways, I think Isaac's character growth is gonna have a lot to do with this and its also important to remember that we genuinely have no idea where this is gonna go or how anyone will react but I have pretty high hopes its gonna be good

at this point if a post implies s1 izzy was homophobic in any way its lost me. we have moved past the need for homophobic + gay izzy interpretations
