Scenes/Things in Supernatural that genuinely don't make sense to me if Dean was straight:
The confession booth scene.
Sam just rolling with the fact that Dean's siren is a guy while still thinking sirens infect people through sex.
Dean being flustered by several men: Gunner Lawless, Aaron, Doctor Sexy, etc.
All the parallels between Destiel and other couples. (A big one being "last night on Earth" bc how do you do that accidentally.)
Having all the gay jokes be on Dean instead of Sam.
Paralleling Sam meeting his childhood celebrity crush with Dean meeting Gunner Lawless.
The boner Dean got when Cas cleaned up.
Dean gulping after Cas does an impression from a Western movie.
Charlie, a lesbian, calling Castiel "dreamy."
The way Mary looks at Dean and Cas when they hug.
Dean wondering why everyone assumes he's gay, while Sam not caring.
The logic that Charlie can't flirt with guys because she's only attracted to women, but then having Dean flirt with the guy for her.
Dean seeming disappointed when learning that Aaron's flirting was fake.
The amount of time Dean and Cas spend staring at each other.
Dean canonically having an orgy with Crowley.
A woman saying that she knows when someone's pining for someone else to Dean, just for us to learn that Dean was never in love with Amara.
The set design and script choices that lead to a cross in the background while Dean said "I do." to Cas after he came back to life.
That time when Dean wanted to say something and Cas was like, "It's okay, I heard your prayer." But Dean still looked like he wanted to say something important.
Amara: [about Dean] "I can see inside your heart. Feel the love you feel. Except, it’s cloaked in shame.”
If you want to have a more expansive list, @destiel-is-real-idgaf added to this one quite nicely.
#i'm not even trying to prove a point#I'm just genuinely confused as to what the heck these scenes were supposed to be if dean is not bi#the fact that dean was the best written bi character who struggles with internalized homophobia I have ever seen and it was an accident#insane#dean and cas had the best relationship development I have ever seen#destiel#deancas#dean winchester#dean is bi#bi dean#bi dean winchester#they did my son so dirty#he grew so much over the seasons#without his dad around to force toxic masculinity#they let him be dorky#goofy#geeky#good at cooking#but didn't let him be bi#i will be adding more to the list#the title is a bit of a hyperbole#some of these do make sense with Dean being straight#but they're honestly pushing it

yknow, one of things about the book that would have really benefited from an upgrade was a heavier focus on the characters' adhd and dyslexia. i really figured the show would build on the neurodivergency angle, since it's supposedly the updated version of pjo, but if anything there was LESS mention of it??
#in the book you get things like percy and annabeth being unable to read aunty em's sign because it's in neon cursive#or percy mentioning the zoo truck's reverse-printed white on black text is more dyslexia friendly#i'm honestly just confused like what happened lol#pjo show crit#pjo tv crit#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo tv show

could you tell us more about ghost and price in the au? 👀👀 i love bridgerton so much 🥲💕
of course nonnie, i hope you enjoy. idk if i'll ever write it but it's so fun to think about lmao. i included gaz/soap/könig just in case :) 🤍
continued from: here
price: the leader, the gentleman of the bunch if you will. but just as witty and cunning as the rest of his comrades, though that side isn't often shown. he lacks affection and warmth after years of spent alone, he's especially learnt not to trust and rely on people. bears the burden of his team, holds many responsibilities from his higher position that keeps him occupied. upholds his honour and role in society as the viscount but he is unmarried and purely looking for someone that ticks off the boxes for being a viscountess, at best looking for an understanding of sorts since love is a fickle thing and he doesn't believe feelings should be mixed with business. that's not to say there isn't a heart that beats under all that armour. perhaps you may be his undoing
ghost: maybe the brute would interest you, his devious ways certainly able to spark a light in someone. he's blunt and brash, harsh and cold. doesn't really converse to anyone that isn't his companions, fiercely protective and loyal to them, holds them in a high regard. he is knighted like all of them, fulfils his duties during the day and fights during the night. the years of abuse have taken its toll on him, doesn't believe he could love or that it could be reciprocated. he bears a dark past, harbouring secrets he's vowed to keep to the grave but perhaps you may be the one to tempt his heart, to show him the true love he's always yearned to have. to ease some lightness in the darkness he carries
gaz: the mastermind, he is the sarcastic witty type when conversing. being of a higher class has brought about many attention, attention which isn't something he rather enjoys. gaz is a man of few words, usually appreciating intellect of an individual someone who challenges him and keeps him thinking. his time is mostly occupied with his responsibilities but there's a soft ache that runs through him in the stillness of the night all alone and away from the buzz of society. something in him dares to linger on a dream, a hope that perhaps he isn't an unlovable as he thinks himself to be. perhaps you may be the one to secure the viscount
soap: lastly the playboy! he's got that devilish smirk that results from having a decent conversation to all hot and flustered in bed. but to him sex doesn't equal love. he's rather emotionally closed off, love has usually been full of pain so he gave up. sex is good enough, gets rid of the physical need of a soft body and he doesn't see them again afterwards. he does allow himself the pleasure but of late as he grows older he finds himself wanting more, something he can't seem to find in the other ladies in the town. maybe you'd be the rare diamond he's after, able to quench his desire for a lover
plus könig: the earl, he's calculating and calm. rarely ever seen conversing with others outside his circle. societal events aren't much his thing and he won't go if his presence isn't required. könig again doesn't care much for love, looking for a countess and nothing more. he too doesn't much believe in love, won't allow his heart to even entertain the thought so he closes himself off away from others. he just needs someone that's compatible on paper, to secure his right in his position. but maybe you could teach him that love isn't black and white, that perhaps he too can indulge himself for once in his life (tolerates the 141, personal beef with ghost)
it's a fun idea to think off, sorry if it's repetitive. i haven't yet fully thought this out so there are mistakes but i hope you liked it anyway :)

can i have a little ramble about dlc lore/discourse without anyone getting mad
if we accept the idea that the radahn/miquella story was planned from the beginning, i feel like they purposely left out any mention of them interacting in the base game to avoid people figuring it out long before the DLC even dropped. because they know what we're like and the way people figure things out from the most tenuous things is impressive. but it seems to have had the unintended consequence of it feeling like a rug-pull rather than a welcome surprise by the community, because elden ring is a game that rewards you for exploring, for uncovering the tiniest hints to lore in item descriptions, coming to your own conclusions on the story. so to feel completely blind-sided in this way about main story characters that we've formed opinions on for years doesn't feel like it fits with the base game's ethos at all. i get the feeling that players feel played with ironically lol? i'm also not sure fromsoft have ever done anything like this in their games before, where they've brought back main characters from the base game as a final boss, so i think that's had an affect too.
#feel free to add your own thoughts/disagree it is just my opinion init#not trying to be negative honestly just trying to figure this out#cus rn i'm still feeling confused by the radahn/miq stuff#and i get the impression that's got a lot of other ppl confused too#i do like some aspects of it but it feeling so out of left field on the whole is jarring#elden ring#shadow of the erdtree#shadow of the erdtree spoilers#sote spoilers#elden ring spoilers#loreposting

i think my problem with the point five books thing is not the books themselves, so much as it is the marketing and way they're presented.
for those that aren't aware: point five books have a generally understood meaning/connotation that authors and fans both sort of know. it's basically code for "book that is not mandatory to understand the story, but it's there for fans that want extra content". usually this comes in the form of short story collections or whatever else the author may want to do. sometimes it's just a single short story. for example, a proper way for kotlc to utilize point five books would be to for instance, make a book 7.5, which has keefe and fitz's flashback short stories in it. extra bonus content from flashback (book seven), but you don't have to read it to understand the main story itself. you'll be okay without it. that is what a point five book actually means, as far as the wider literary world is concerned.
but books 8.5 and 9.5 in this series are not extra bonus content. you very much do have to read them to understand the main story. if you read it book eight, then nine, then ten, you will be lost or miss important stuff that's crucial to understanding the story.
just call it book nine. just call it book eleven. all this will do is label the books properly and not confuse people. and people will be confused. we aren't seeing the effects yet, because books are still coming out and everyone in the fandom keeps up with shannon's updates, so we all know what's up. but trust me, in a few years, after the series is over and new people get into it, they will be confused. they will skip straight over book 8.5 or 9.5 unknowingly, and it won't be good.
my theory is that someone on shannon's team wants to make this series seem shorter than it really is. because that is the only logical explanation here. you could describe this series as having "nine and a half books" now, instead of ten, and by the way the series is officially marked, that's not incorrect. but it is. this series has ten books. because there are ten mandatory books that you have to read that are out right now. stop calling books that aren't supposed to be called point five books as point five books!!!! this isn't quirky, it's just going to throw people off.
this is super, super confusing for people that aren't "in the know" with this series, so to speak, and there will be people that read this series incorrectly because of this. i have been a casual fantasy series reader for pretty much my entire existence on this planet, and let me just tell you, this is not how this works. at all. if i didn't know books 8.5 and 9.5 were mandatory, i would skip over them completely, going on my understood knowledge of how these epic fantasies are generally structured.
just market them correctly. praying to the heavens for shannon's team to stop. this is actively hurting your readers!!!!
*i assume it isn't shannon herself who is coming up with this strategy
#and unraveled is already confirmed to be proper book length. why are we embarrassing ourselves like this please just call it book ten#i promise it wouldn't be any funkier than making your third person limited series have an entire book from the pov of another character#POINT FIVE BOOK = EXTRA BONUS CONTENT. THIS IS THE WAY OF THE LITERARY WORLD I'M GONNA THROW HANDS#STOP BREACHING THE CODE!!!! IT'S VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD!!!! THIS IS GOING TO CONFUSE NEW READERS SO MUCH#i DESPISE the way this makes the series seem shorter than it is!!!! come on just accept it!!!! this is embarrassing!!!!#if this book is mandatory to understand the story THEN JUST CALL IT BOOK TEN. THERE IS NO SHAME IN THAT!!!!#okay look i complained a lot about unraveled (and i will continue to do so) but honestly?#if this is what shannon feels she needs to do to continue the story then by all means let her do it. just PLEASE label the books right#kotlc#kotlc unraveled#kotlc unlocked#unraveled#unlocked#point five books#.5 books

Yk I wonder why ortho and idia are going for specific students in their gathering for the ob malleus fight. Wouldn't it be much more logical to go for the teachers first, then the housewardens and only then other students? As much as I like the first years, it is not that good of a choice to go for characters like epel or deuce and ace. Unless their magical prowess doesn't matter and something else does.
If it actually is magical prowess that matters, do you think they will still go for ace since ace doesn't have his unique magic yet? (If they leave him out, that would make great material for the traitor ace theory though)
I know the fandom and yuu see crowley as a bit irresponsible but in this kind of situation, going for him first would have been absolutely necessary. Or heck crewel or trein too
#ceces talk#I'm just confused#but honestly this is just an excuse for me to complain about limit crowley screentime#i actually like that man#i find him interesting and I definitely think he is acting irresponsible and ignorant on purpose#twisted wonderland#twst#twst crowley#twst ace#ace trappola#twst ortho#twst idia#idia shroud#ortho shroud

I just became very explicitly aware that my life is ruled by neither the forces of sexuality nor of romance, and that most people apparently consider that unusual.
#asexuality#aromantism#i guess. i guess???#honestly i am super confused#and it's so complicated that I'm trying to define my experience through the absense of something honestly that can't be sound practise xD#i feel like asexuality is easier to grasp for me than aromanticism#or demiromantism#like i know i can fall in love but it is nothing that is just going to happen suddenly or often#and i feel like I've spent most of my truly adult life unaffected by romance#also in the way that i just don't desire it (or am i secretly bitter?)#but i feel it connects to my asexuality well in the way that i don't detest romance - i just have so many interesting and exciting things#to do that i don't miss it#am i to believe that is unusual??#truly all of this would be so much easier if sex and romance weren't mystified all the time#personal thoughts

I dont understand how the same man who wrote the absolute insulting atrocity that is the Harley & Ivy comic (and the fuckint Harvest comic i stg) is the same one behind the Harley & Ivy episode and this
[Ivy disappearing on the other line is because she Immediately left when she heard what Joker had said.
She may have been teasing Harley and laughing at first when she was going on about all the things planned for her birthday night with her love, probably because Ivy knows he doesn't have a romantic hone in his entire body. but the second he Actually did something, he pulled the plug on her special night because he wanted to go do the "Yacht Club Job", she wasn't having it.
"No way was that going to happen."
"Look at her smile. Isn't this better than robbing that stuffy old yacht club? So glad I ran into you en route."
Just those lines of hers :')
Like even though she thinks he sucks and she knows he probably wouldn't have made the night as wonderful as Harley deserved in the first place, damnit she deserved Something. something other than him leaving her behind on standby in case they need a get away driver.]
like does this man flip a coin every time he writes Ivy and decides whether or not he wants to characterize her accurately or make her essentially a joker stand in purely so they can add plain ol' slapstick humor. it's fucking baffling to me. like who the fuck creates a character who's in YOUR og canon an abuse victim and the literal episode her and Ivy meet in that fact is reiterated time and time again. it built Ivy up as someone that really is going to care about her and wants to help her improve her mental health because he's destroyed her self esteem.
and then to take that bond YOU made and throw them into a disgusting, over sexualized comic that you incorporate fucking slapstick humor into?!?! Like wtf is wrong with him how do you manage to create a couple great (female centric) stories but most of the time just come off as nasty and frankly sexist.
p*ul d*ni i just wanna talk, i swear i will not viciously bite your ankles i swear
#i honestly dont think he intended on the ivy in that being plant ivy but uh she is :) green skinned ivy in the btas is a fucking plant.#im just clarifying that because it doesn't really matter in the context of what I'm saying#but i dont wanna confuse anyone cause ik ive talked about plant ivy before#what ive learned since joining the fandom is that uh fucking no one communicated#when writing the comics so shit gets weird and stupid because they cant... idk come up with a over arching plot?#it wouldnt be that hard to decide that chapters 3 12 and 17 are going to be ones they appear in together#and plan...#and commuinate with each other what's happened leading up to this#lore and costume wise and this is how their arc will progress throughout each of their chapters.#but no :)))))#harley quinn#harleen quinzel#poison ivy#pamela isley#dc comics#harlivy

Arlecchino's whole deal is unbelievable
Arlecchino: Huh I wonder what's causing my weird powers? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta become King and then kill my "Mother".
*Kills Clervie and "Mother"*
Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I was able to defeat a Fatui Harbinger when I'm like 17 or so? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta be in jail and become a Harbinger.
*Is in jail for a while and becomes a Harbinger*
Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I am-
Pierro: Hey what's up hello, anyways you're descended from the Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khaenri'ah. I'm sure that this is a lot for you to take in so-
Arlecchino: Ok.
Pierro: ...You're just cool with that?
Arlecchino: IDK maybe? I can't really worry about that at the moment, I'm a father now. This orphanage full of children I love (who also are child soldiers and are not allowed to leave or else I'll execute them except maybe now I'm just gonna wipe their memories IDK I'm morally complex) isn't gonna run itself.
*Runs the orphanage/spy recruitment initiative*
Me, the fucking player: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE KHAENRI'AN? WHY WASN'T THIS BROUGHT UP IN YOUR FUCKING QUEST?? OR ANYTHING ELSE????
Arlecchino, talking to me through my phone: I honestly don't know why you care, I'm too busy to give a shit. Anyways, I'm gonna go fight fate itself I guess. I'm sure that I don't share any thematic parallels with any other Khaenri'an characters (particularly as it relates to acting and family angst) and that I haven't made the idea of 'curses' on Khaenri'ans and what they entail even more complicated than they already were. See ya.
#arlecchino#genshin impact#pierro#WHY IS THE GAME FUCKING GLOSSING OVER THE FACT THAT SHE IS KHAENRI'AN?!#Not only that but she is the first Khaenri'an we've met (that we know of) who's from the Crimson Moon Dynasty#I'm so fucking confused#Did Celestia place a DIFFERENT curse on members of the Crimson Moon Dynasty?? Or is this stuff all of them can do???#HELP#She also seems almost...uninterested in the fact that she's descended from Khaenri'ah. Which honestly I think is interesting.#I don't know if I like it yet but when every other Khaenri'ah character has one of their major traits being that they super fucking#care that they are Khaenri'an (whether that be Kaeya with his paranoia/destiny/duty or Dain with his guilt over his failure/desire to#prevent our sibling from fucking with anything too much or whatever the fuck is going on with Pierro)#having a character who is Khaenri'an but doesn't seem to particularly be invested in that part of themself is different#she cares more about the curse and its effects on her then she ever really cares about the Crimson Moon Dynasty or the cataclysm#IDK I think it's neat from a character writing angle. or at least it has the potential to be if the writers do a good job.#But from a 'I like maybe 3 things in this game and one of them is Khaenri'ah' perspective it SUCKSSSSS#That part of the plot is already suffering from chronic live-service storytelling disease where people just straight up don't tell you#shit that they logically SHOULD BE TELLING YOU because the game needs to save plot points to build hype around#so for one of like 4-ish (depending on how much we count Albedo) Khaenri'an major characters to give us literally 1 and 1/2 voicelines#kinda sucks ngl. but again it's also interesting and realistic for Arlecchino and from that angle I like it#she doesn't care about what fate says her place in the world is. she's gonna carve her own and being Khaenri'an isn't relevant to#the life and identity she has built for herself. she isn't the type to look for answers she doesn't need. she's practical and efficient.#at the very least it's better than when Albedo 'I want to find all the world's truths' Kreideprinz doesn't let the audience in on his stuff

ran into my first student using chatgpt and honestly i was gonna be mad until i thought harder about Why he was using chatgpt and i was like well. that part of the assignment was kind of useless bullshit anyway so yk what that’s on me. consider it gone.
#i think having a new frame of mind while teaching this semester has been sooooo helpful for me#because any time something doesn’t go the way i planned i’m like ok what’s going on here. what’s not clicking#and i think Because my class is so open-ended and i really encourage them to write as genuinely and honestly as they’d like to#most people do end up doing that. like genuinely that’s the only use of chatgpt i’ve spotted in four weeks of class#and ofc that won't Always be the case but most of the time i have to think like#ok am i giving them too tight deadlines or too much work at once#or is the assignment description confusing or is it just busywork that i've assigned for no reason#and i think framing it along those lines. has Reallllllllllllly helped#bc i know for a fact my class is one of the most engaged rn out of the department#literally like almost perfect attendance perfect assignment rate everyone meeting the requirements#and i'm proud of it!!#i really want them to Learn yk and. hopefully they are#anyway. just something to think about

aro culture is seeing a meme, with only the aro flag, being about not wanting to kiss and just never understanding at all when people equate not wanting to kiss as a strictly/universal aromantic thing, cause you personally enjoy kissing a lot
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod phoenix#i know i'm personally prone to talking about it because#anytime i try to talk about not liking kissing around alloros#it leads to uh. honestly at best shocked confusion and interrogation#and on. a very scary amount of times straight up being sexually harassed or generally pressured to try kissing someone present#whilethe aro community is... a lot lot lot more likely to go 'oh same' or 'yeah the connotations are ick' or generally just... accept it

SHE CALLED HIM AN ACE IN THE HOLE!!!
AND HE'S ALL LIKE "a WHAT?" BECAUSE HE DIED BEFORE THAT LANGUAGE WAS COMMON
When I tell you my ace-ass SCREAMED
#hazbin hotel#alastor#alastor the radio demon#alastor is ace#and its just so casually in there#i feel so seen and attacked#i'm calling myself an ace in the hole now#honestly his confusion could also just be because he's just confused about what she's going on about#because previously he was like 'charlie is the kid i wanted' so OF COURSE she would need to be younger that's how children work
