Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.

“How the fuck does Taylor Swift know about my kebab place?” Roy said angrily, kicking the front door closed behind him with gusto. “That’ll be another pound, Uncle Roy,” Phoebe chirped, not bothering to look up from her bracelet making.

Taylor Swift is in town for The Eras Tour. Phoebe and Jamie and Keeley and seemingly all of greater fucking London all desperately want to attend. These facts together combine to make for Roy's worst nightmare, but also, quite possibly, for a rare moment of warmest sun right when he needs it the most.

Hiiiii, guess who resurrected a tumblr account to show you the sketch I talked about (Sylus without wings yet)

The noise I made when I opened my inbox and found this art from you in it was like Sylus (not human), but it was delighted!!! Thank you so much for sending it! Sylus in his 'real' or monster form is something we desperately need, and I love this version. The tail wrapping around his leg🤤... not to speak for fellow monsterfuckers or anything but we deserve this, thank you for the delicious food!!

The Escape (3x06) 'What We Do In the Shadows'

Throughout her appearances, I have started to grow fond of her. And now that she's basically a regular next season, I will be turning to a full fledged stan of hers. I may be bias because I like the actress and her Bob's Burgers role, Louise Belcher, BUT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

Also, she has so much potential and I really hope they unravel and develop her character or else I will be barging to the show's writer's department.

god i wish i were more articulate so i could actually explain my thoughts on all the milven/byler visual parallels...... people using the situational and framing similarities to "prove" that mike feels the same way about both el and will when truly the further you get into both relationships the clearer the discrepancies become between the emotional weights and contexts of each scene.... and the way they're both framed the same way to make those discrepancies stand out even more

Me, waiting to see how exactly they plan to resolve Jonathan's storyline now that they've reintegrated him back into the Byers family:

apparently fourth wing is getting an adaptation, just saw that they announced the showrunner, and i gotta wonder how they're gonna adapt it cause that book has the cringiest dialogue and writing known to man

I've gotten jack shit written the past few days but have been watching the Expanse instead. I'm on S2E8 and oh my god I love Drummer so much. I want her to wife me.

She gets gut shot, spends an agonizing who knows how long slowly bleeding out because of some traitorous fellow Belters who storm the bridge. They reclaim it, she's literally being dragged out of there and shoves off help, straight up mercs the people who shot/betrayed them and then just marches off I'm assuming to go to the medics to get her gigantic pair of brass balls shined/checked out.

LMAO how did I not spend the past 4 years remembering how amazing Camina is and my gigantic lady crush on her? Honestly, I'm ashamed of myself.

Your “just elope” post made me laugh out loud.

My wedding was five years ago, and I’m STILL mad I couldn’t convince my spouse to elope. It was sooooooo much money, and the pictures are lovely, but seriously, I tell everyone to just take a great trip instead, weddings are dumb.

Marriage is pretty great though.

I am very glad you're experiencing wedded bliss though I wish you were able to experience wedded bliss with an extra $10,000 in the bank lol

[ID: Several gifs of a drag queen, Gottmik, walking down a catwalk. She is wearing only a tight turquoise miniskirt and a pair of life-like false arms, one hanging over her shoulder and the other around the opposite waist. The top surgery scars on her chest are decorated with tiny rhinestones and hanging crimson beads that look like dripping blood, while the false arms move back and forth holding a pair of scalpels against them. As she walks she swings around a transparent plastic bag with a pair of red breastforms in it. End ID]
