How does consciousness and autonomy work for a throne? After a throning, is one of the sides in complete control and the other without any bodily agency or even without consciousness at all or is it more like a merging of consciousness/control?

Generally more like a merging. Thrones have distributed consciousnesses that are contained entirely along the CNS, rather than simply within their brain(s). This does mean you could mutilate one to remove the unbodied, but it would not undo the personality changes or effectively kill the unbodied, should the Throne survive that mutilation (unlikely but not impossible).

How separate the identities of the two prior individuals remains varies. Most thrones (a little over half or thereabouts) never become singular individuals, but that doesn't mean they stay entirely seperate either. The most common case is something inbetween. Throning unilaterally allows the sharing of thoughts between the two minds, and you can generally expect to see a degree of merge. Despite not being the case for most Thrones, anything less than a perfect merge is considered a failure, and Thrones tend to develop workshopped personas that they use for outward-facing (as opposed to private) social interactions.

The unbodied does not gain control over the bodied of the headless by force, nor does the unbodied's personality subsume and erase that of the headless, although these are both common misconceptions in-universe. Muscular control is distributed and any part of the Throne's mind can choose to move or not move any other part of it's body, ultimately a lot of cooperation is necessary.

Ships that even the universe looked at and said yeah they can have each other (no one wants to face the consequences of separating them)

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

You know, it's genuinely sad to me that aging favourite character actors no longer have any fun murder-mystery tv shows to guest-star as murders on.
