"shit his dick's on fire" and it was not an exaggeration I feel lightheaded

looking back on the fic I've written in the last few years and my own sexuality journey has made me realize that there is an argument that poly folk and ace/aro folk process love in a lot of the same ways, like the idea that you can have significant, life-defining relationships with different people and you get something important and sometimes even a similar flavor from each relationship but each one is still fundamentally different and significant in its own way and sometimes you don't want sex but you do want hugs and your partner may be having sex with their other partner but that does not make your relationship any less important because they come back to hug you and having more hearts bound up in your own is never a bad thing, because being loved no matter the form is never a bad thing, you are lovable and you can love so many people and having a heart overflowing with love for other people and things and the universe just means that you're healing and finding the people who fit you in whatever way that comes and there will always be someone cooking in the kitchen filling your heart and stomach no matter what and in this essay i will-

the thing with stede bonnet. the thing with stede bonnet right is that he is so determined in his love and his passions that his very presence in the story changes the genre completely. hello can anybody hear me

Cancel Culture Vs Show Cancellation Culture

THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN

[eternalpariah]

i fear i’m only capable of experiencing three moods.

moping, brooding, and consuming queer shows as a substitute for happiness that eventually leads to more moping

[ciderjacks]

hey if u guys r sad about ofmd and want another show with gay people to watch you should consider watching Deadloch. It’s really good it’s really really good uh it might get a second season if the creators decide to do that.

if you watch good omens you’ll be able to watch Deadloch they’re on the same service. Uhhhh One of the actors from ofmd is there shes one half of the main duo (the other half is played by Kate Box who’s an amazing actor and Dulcie is now one of my fav characters ever) gets to wear an open Hawaiian shirt for like 3 of the 8 episodes which is a bonus. It’s extremely gay and it’s fun and beautifully written and no queer characters die and it’s satisfying and funny and Please watch it I’m begging you please watch itPLEASE

Hi! This will be a blog dedicated to making sure everyone has the best fandom experience possible.

It can be really uncomfortable to come across certain ships, tropes, kinks and fetishes. I frequently suffer from that problem.

Unfortunately, the way the internet and apps work now (commonly referred to as Web 2.0) means a lot of things are served up to us based on what the code "thinks" we want to see. (This is commonly referred to as "an algorithm" but that's just a word for any set of instructions for a program.) This means that people who are just going about their business and properly tagging their fanworks will often have their work served to people who do not want to see it.

Luckily, a lot of sites have started offering filters or ways to remove the chance of encountering things you don't like.

Here are a few common sites mute/block pages

gotta find me some normal interest other than gay shows because how am i supposed to do casual conversation about how poetic a pathetic man is when he's bleeding

[lumiilys]

Love watching shows get cancelled every few weeks and seeing their fandoms go through what we went through 8 months ago 🙃

[blakbonnet]

the fandom mishmash is the best-- tis the dim sum of blogging, many delicious dishes all at once

maybe I'll get bereft ofmd fans into the wondrous world of iwtv and doctor who, who knows 😌❤️

[nighthawkes]

the funny thing about the shows I find most annoying is how they lack staying power. yay 💗

[eternalpariah]

with lying skills this good the CIA should hire me

“why yes mother i do love my gender!”

“no father i do not engage with the gays nor do i draw overly suggestive art of fictional gay couples.”

[bibibusinessman]

guys please I cannot articulate how much I need a second season. Keep watching! I have it on loop in the background while doing my homework.

DEAD BOY DETECTIVES VIEWERSHIP

Even though the show is or has been removed from the top ten series list on Netflix, it doesn’t mean that we should give up on the binge. The show needs the viewership, Netflix needs to know that the show has a fanbase. Please, keep rewatching, keep rating with double thumbs, keep convincing your friends to watch it, and keep sharing the message about the show.

END THE CANCELLATION STREAK

QUEER/ YA FANTASY SHOWS DESERVE TO EXIST FOR MORE THAN ONE SEASON

[savequeerstories]

Fun fact: Parrot Analytics tracks demand for media. Their metrics say interest in queer-positive shows like OFMD, The Acolyte, and Dead Boy Detectives is >10x the average!

Queer shows are popular, despite what some people would have you believe. A 2023 study from GLAAD found that 73% of non-LGBTQ adults felt comfortable seeing queer representation on screen. Once you factor in queer people (of whom a supermajority of young adults actively seek queer shows), that makes an overwhelming majority of viewers who support queer rep.

Keeping queer stories isn't just important, it's good business.

Call for Fandom Solidarity!

This was posted by @savethedeadboys and I wanted to reiterate the importance of our fandoms supporting each other!

(Source)

To the Lockwood & Co., Our Lady Jane, The Acolyte, and Our Flag Means Death fandoms: I've signed these petitions, and I encourage all Dead Boy Detectives fans to do the same! If you guys could please sign and share our petition as well, that would mean the world to us.

Here are the petitions for Lockwood & Co., My Lady Jane, Our Flag Means Death, and The Acolyte. Show them some love; we're all fighting for shows that mean the world to us!

➪ Lockwood & Co ➪ My Lady Jane ➪ OFMD ➪ The Acolyte

Also: I plan to check out all of these shows, and I think if you like Lockwood, My Lady Jane, OFMD, or The Acolyte you will really enjoy Dead Boy Detectives as well! Please, if you have time, check it out and don’t let the cancellation deter you. The story is really well-paced and self-contained, so there’s no gigantic cliffhanger to worry about. Please help us save our boys who defy heaven and hell with their love! 💜

First time I watched Dead Boy Detectives, I thought, someone should really do an OFMD fusion with Lucius and Izzy as Cat King and Edwin, respectively.
