#it annoyed me

[bi-astolfo]

Came across some comments I wanted to have a mini rant about.

Some people were upset about a fic between a lesbian character and a male love interest. My first thought was that the character isn’t even necessarily a lesbian. I mean, she could be bi. She does get with a girl in the story and it’s not like most characters in stories go around saying their sexuality aloud.

My main thought with it was that it shouldn’t be any different from shipping a straight character with someone of the same gender. That’s what most shipping content probably is tbh. Especially considering the lack of queer characters. Also I get that because there is a lack of queer characters, someone might get definsive about putting them in a hetero relationship but it shouldn’t really matter.

The bottom line is: if you don’t care for something? just ignore it. Two people sat down and read a fic they knew they wouldn’t enjoy and then left a comment detailing their dislike. I mean the fic wasn’t great, but it was far from the worst, especially for someone just starting out. That’s the other part that annoyed me: this is their first fic and they get two comments saying they should have “kept it to themselves.” I’m not surprised they didn’t continue writing after that.

Other moral of the story is: bi people exist too.

One thing that pisses me off every single time in fiction is when a straight guy is being confronted with the idea of whether or not another guy is attractive and they say some shit like…

Candyman 2021 is one of the best horror remakes ever made but I loathe people who say that it “fixed the original”. It’s for modern audiences with a modern discussion. Forbidden was written in 1985 by Clive Barker, who’s gay. This is the short story that would eventually inspire the Candyman movie in 1992. It’s about a black man falling in love with a white woman and being murdered for it, and then coming back as a spirit not to avenge his death but to take Helen back with him. He’s obviously the villain of the story and yet there is something so painfully relatable, as a queer person, about being told that your love is wrong and you are some how monstrous for who you love,

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

tfw "popular" fanon becomes so embedded in a fandom & discussions within fandom spaces that people just start treating it as the default and all interactions with others are coloured by this interpretation. have you considered that I actually don't subscribe to this take, which is nowhere in the source material? wait nvm, clearly not.

its true that romance amd friendship will not solve everything but. objectively speaking its very hard to get sad when you can say 'lets go get cake tomorrow okay' and someone will go get cake with you. like there is some good at least. you know

how about instead of responding to the achingly inane innovations being pushed of AI that will write your emails so that another AI can read them and provide a summary to the person you're emailing by defending the sacred art of emailing we instead stop to consider what kind of systems we have created in which people are constantly sending emails so worthless that getting an idiot robot to both read and write them seems like a sensible value proposition
