#humans are shitty disgusting terrible in nature you cant run from that

[fuckblizzardbearlover]

I really really REALLY hate that LGBTQ rep is SO sparse shitty and is only within the last few years gotten a fraction of where it should be that there are so many teens and young adults who literally look at the second most * homophobic way to put in gay characters into a story and go “yaaass queen” and whats worse is that so many people especially male ‘gamers’ are SO homophobic that those of us who ARE gay have to grin and bear it and promote these piece of shit characters because its a way to  Fuck with the homophobes by essentially making them unhappy by reminding them we exist

So the League of Legends tag blew up today apparently because there is this character called Varus and based on peoples responses you’d think the guy was a Garnet-ian fusion of 2 gay men whos Love overcame death.

But thats not it at all.

One of the ancient race of darkin, Varus was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes with arrows, driving them to insanity before closing for the kill. Possessed of wondrous beauty, Varus was imprisoned at the end of the Darkin War, but escaped, centuries later, in the remade flesh of two Ionian hunters. The two men had unwittingly released Varus and now bear the bow containing his bound essence. Varus now hunts those who trapped him in order to enact his brutal vengeance, but the souls bound within him fight him every step of the way.

At the end of the Darkin War, the queen carried Varus’s bow to a land that would become known as Ionia. Her last act was to imprison the bow deep within a lightless cell sunk deep beneath a mountain temple overlooking the village of Pallas. There it remained, imprisoned by the natural magic of Ionia and the ritual ministrations of its guardians. The bow remained hidden deep underground for centuries, unknown, untouched, and all but forgotten until Noxian invaders attacked Ionia. Two beast hunters - Valmar and his heartlight, Kai - fought the first wave of these invaders at the Temple of Pallas. Though their courage was great and drove off the attackers, Kai was mortally wounded. A grief-stricken Val carried him inside, praying the temple’s magic would restore him.

But the temple held only damnation, and both hunters were consumed by the unleashed power of the darkin. The very matter of their bodies was unraveled and bound together in a warp and weft of new flesh to craft a perfect body, fit to bear the soul of Varus. What emerged from the temple was a gestalt creature, pale and inhumanly beautiful, part human, part darkin, Varus was reborn as an entity with a war for supremacy being waged in its soul.

The human and darkin elements of this newborn body are in constant flux, with each element sometimes managing to wrest control of the body for a short time before being reined in by the other. Varus fights to overcome Val and Kai’s resistance once and for all so that he may wreak vengeance on mortals for the destruction of his race. But Kai and Val fight on against his malevolent influence, hoping against hope that their love can overcome the darkin’s baser urges.

How long Val and Kai can keep Varus fully at bay is anyone’s guess, but should this sadistic and egotistical darkin killer come to fully dominate his new body, it is certain he will seek to reunite with the survivors of his race in hopes of reducing Runeterra to an ashen wasteland.

Like....I get it , i get what they were going for. Varus is canonically part gay lovers, and supposedly their love might one day purify or at least stop him

But that still leaves them killed, who turned to their temple for salvation and instead got murdered and their bodies violated and their souls trapped to be in a Hellish struggle for the rest of their existence in which if they fail a horrible monster that used them will go out and murder who knows how many.

This isnt , like i said, a Garnet like thing. it could have worked. it would still be “bury your gays” and WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH STRAIGHT PEOPLE THAT THEY CANT THINK OF GAY PEOPLE UNLESS SOMEONE IS DEAD! But like it would have been easy to have it to where this was not a dark aligned creatures, that their love DID IMMEDIATELY overcome the demon and cast it out and they roam the world now together as this fused being fighting evil.

And i think whats worse the idea that maybe someone who was gay pitched this idea because its Terrible and there is enough gayngst out there.

but like there are people out there, and prob some of them young teens that dont know any better, shoving this around like ...people being gay is something good. No! Gay characters have existed forever, they were just called Dandy’s or Professional Bachelors they were gay coded but never mentioned. There has ALWAYS been gay representation its just been BAD representation.

but you want to tell me that a Demon eating the souls of two gay men who will endure torture for the rest of their existence is wonderful? fuck off with that.  I bet a majority of the LoL characters sexuality doesnt even come into play with anything except for some shitty professional artist who works for them and makes upskirt shots of the overbreasted women in the game. there is probably a dozen of them that a new short story could casually mention an old lover, or they just have to put a stray thought into their head.  any number of their established hero could have been gay or bisexual (or trans)

Like....Its obvious the stupid bitch who runs starwars and made sure all our heros of color in Rogue One wants to avoid being the one to put gays in Star Wars, and the cast behind supergirl basically condemned fans for wanting Supergirl to be in a relationship with the only person she has a healthy relationship with that isnt her sister.

most of the “lgbt” rep out there is still used as jokes, joke characters or as pervy “oh look how liberal and progressive we are with our drugs and sex and gays and murder” characters.

UG!

*forgot my astrix - the MOST homophobic way to deal with a gay character is to make a Tortured gay who is sexually repressed** who finally gets tired of having good morals and decides to start leading a path of hedonism, sex, drugs and irresponsibility because being gay and being a meth addict are the same kind of sin and if he’s going to die eventually might as well be as Sinful as he can be, right?

**look at lgbt authors for examples of repressed tortured gays who come to enjoy life and realize they have been victims and all their self hate is unjustified gaslighting caused and they can live their life when they realize this. The problem is not ‘repressed gay” per sei but then only abandoning their repression when they realize that there is nothing wrong with being gay because its ok to be a hedonist , disgusting freak, because thats what that narrative says
