there really does need to be a queer person in the writers' room on every show with queer characters, if only to explain how to better describe 'profound' relationships.

bc this happens all the time with showrunners fumbling for ways to describe a not-necessarily-sexually-prioritized relationship between same-sex characters

it's like somewhere in our evolution 'straight' men forgot that you can express your Profound Emotions with sex or other physical ways just to experience closeness and love.

like sexual attraction can evolve from profound emotions. they aren't inherently mutually exclusive. you can have two people who aren't initially attracted to each other and then over the course of knowing each other attraction blooms from simply caring for that person.

it's wild that ppl don't get that. is it a straight person thing? Do you have to be horny for a person from the go or it doesn't count?

like i'm absolutely serious, there needs to be studies on this phenomenon. there's something here in the miscommunication of what love can look like that is fucking fascinating.

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandermo #lgbt #shipping #and like you can have sexwithout there being sexualattraction too just talk to any ace person #actually the queer prsn in the writer's room should be ace or demi - just to explain basic attraction vs love #anyway i woke up with some Thoughts #i'm in the pensive thoughtful phase of my frustration #like why does this keep happening and where is the problem actually #because i think its Deeper and More Profound than simple phobia at this point #i think that when men never had to seriously examine and struggle to understand their own sexuality #they loose out on fundamentals of what sexuality actually is #and all the ways love and attraction and sexcan be expressed - with each other or without #(because maybe *cough cough* being straight is an illusion *cough cough*)#(but thats a lesson for another day)
