#but like im not beard gay

[algrenion]

i love the term queer in relation to myself because it feels so nebulous and fluid, but also so strong. non-newtonian. like the oobleck of identitifiers. subject to extreme change, but solid in its own unique way, especially when struck. that's just my interpretation of it, but i think it's delightful.

So is nobody going to talk about how lesbian coded Rukia is?

Everytime she interacts with Kaien's wife during the flashback she's always either nervously stuttering(which is pretty uncommon for Rukia) or swooning over her, almost like Miyako was an awakening for her.

The way she looks at Miyako is also pretty different from the way she looked at other people, even during the flashback before the tragedy occured.

Then there's this monologue where she lovingly talks about how Miyako's her idol and how beautiful she is, only being able to gaze in the distance knowing that she's married.

Look how worried and forlorn she is when Miyako gets sent on the Hollow mission, maybe knowing this is the last time she'll ever see her alive.

The way Rukia looks at her in the episode is also the same way she looks at Orihime.

There are a lot of Very Gay™ moments between her and Orihime but it's especially apparent in the novels. The only reason she ever gave Ichigo his powers back is because seeing him depressed made Orihime sad and cry and even at her own wedding preparations she thinks more about Orihime than she does her future beard husband.

Despite proposing to him, she doesn't show much attraction to Renji in the novel or men at all in the anime/manga(she also acts in a more confrontational or dismissive way towards men than she does with women which is a queer coding trope) and even names her own child after Orihime herself.

Had a conversation last night with someone about the two times I've ever dated and I realized that when it comes to the first guy in middle school who came out as gay after like two weeks, he was probably using me as a beard cuz at one point he called me with his mom and had me tell her we were dating but cuz of anxiety it took several minutes for me to actually say it but that was likely him trying to convince her like "Hey I've got a girlfriend, see I can't be gay!" and like, homophobia from his mom aside, that's really fucking funny that I was a beard without knowing it and like six years later I ended up being a gay guy myself.

Y'all gonna hate me for this one, but you can't call it a homoerotic friendship if that woman was never into you. It's called lust, limerence and delusion.

something so nefarious about not being able to be yourself (being a lesbian) around your family (ESPECIALLY relatives in taiwan/china and family friends here/taiwan) because you’d be ostracized like crazy and potentially lose out on your cultural ties that you spent your whole life building and maintaining

[tchaikovskaya]

it is not and has not and has never been "unsafe" to be openly asехual (unless you are talking about forced/coerced marriage or conversion therapy etc, esp as it pertains to women) in the way that it is and has been for openly gay and trans and nonbinary people like....... i know its unpopular and people raise an eyebrow at it but please be serious

watching the movie maestro rn and I swear if this is another biopic that just reduces the subject to “they were gay!!! having a gay love life was hard ://“ I will cry

[coachbeards]

ABSOLUTELY MONUMENTAL TED LASSO EPISODE. HOLY CRAP DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pineappical]

What are your Ted lasso ships, if you don’t mind me asking? I love your art but I’m curious what ships you enjoy, and whether you’ve drawn all the ships you like or if you have some ships you enjoy but haven’t drawn.

I’m a huge fan of Jamie and Dani as a ship, but I don’t think there are any artists who draw that so now I’m just curious what the other ships are that people really like. :)

oh!! this is a fun question! :D i actually like two aces (Jamie/Dani) as a ship too and yeah i agree that they dont get drawn enough honestly 😭 but for my ships, Ted/Trent is very obviously one of my favorites, and with liking Ted obsessively i normally just like ships including him like Ted/Rebecca or Ted/Beard. just basically most of the well known ships i could get into (like Roy/Jamie/Keeley [try-angles!] for example) :-]

also i have.. SO many characters id love to draw but just havent had the motivation to do so which SUUUCKS because i really really love Jan Maas and Moe Bumbercatch (not as a ship! i just think theyre very silly) 💛💛
