#its like the gayest thing I've ever seen

[ace-ace-in-yo-face]

U ever start shipping a couple ironically cuz u're like "that's silly but kinda funny" so u look em up for laughs but then u enter the "hey they kinda cute actually" phase, and the longer u scroll through their tag the less ironic it becomes?

And here i am reading bowuigi(Bowser/Luigi) fanfiction.

THIS GAY LITTLE OLD MAN HAS ME IN A CHOKE HOLD. I HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED THE GAME, AND THE MORE AND MORE ANGST I SEE ABOUT HIM THE MORE I GET PULLED DEEPER INTO THIS RABBIT HOLE.

He has the eyes of a tired 36 year old man who has been worked to the bone by capitalism's idea of a stable job and just needs fucking sleep and I genuinely love that about him.

LISTEN TO ME RN HEAT ME TF OUT STANS GANG + CRAIG DOIGN THE LIPSTICK TREND FROM TICTOK WITH READER

the lipstick trend with stan and craigs team

an, I AM LISTENLING ANON DONT WORRY. no idea what you mean by heat out though 🤨 , 17-18 and gn reader but use of her in tolkiens

kenny

he was the one who suggested it, it came across his fyp one day and he sent it to you "lets do this come over rn." "you asked, why dont you come to my house? 🤨" "why don't i cum in your mom" "HUH 😧" "im here."

you both definitely argue on what lipstick you should wear "okay but i don't even use pink lipstick" "well you should" "its light colour its not gonna appear" "well fuck 😒"

the process of kissing his face is wild, he would suggest to do his lips as the first place "KENNY HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THIS TREND IF YOU KEEP TRYING TO MAKE OUT WITH ME" "ITS NOT MY FAULT"

after like2 hours you finally get the lipstick on his face. now the tiktok was even harder he wouldn't stop laughing. you'd give up and he apologises while laughing

thank god you guys were able to finish it under 1 hour it turned out really good, at the end of the video he kissed you and you wanted to cut that part but he said keep it for like and its true the comments were all about the kiss on the last clip

kyle

okay he too wanted to ask you first but he was kinda shy and waited for you to ask and you did!! woohoo for kyle

"kyle wanna do this" "OKAY" he insists on picking your lipstick and picks the ugliest colour like what 😐

to him there was no such thing as an ugly colour buy it didn't suit your face so no way.

the process of it was calm, he at first wanted to put on the lipstick for you but you looked like a clown has mans never put on lipstick??

he watches you as you kiss him and reapply lipstick and then kiss him again, he feels like a princess fr 🤭🤭

he hasn't seen his face yet so when you record and he saw his face he laughs out loud, "LMAO WHY DO I LIKE THAT??" "WDYM"

you would tell him to take off his hat which he refuses but you looked too cute, when it posted cartman was first to comment and you can already tell what he commented "ew gay" your followers defended you two though 🤭

stan

stan blushes internally when you ask him. "sure im down" DEEP DOWN HE WANTS KIDNAP YOY AND KEEP YOU TO HIMSELF

"what lipstick do you think matches me best, pink or red?" "id say my tip colour" "WHAT 😧"

he has to hold in the very urge to puke every time you kiss him because like you look so cute omg.

he looks in the mirror and is js like "damn, i did it". HE LOVES IT SOOOO MUCH YOU CAN TELL HE'S BLUSHING ONGG ‼️

he even directs you like "do here next, okay now here" its so cute 🤭🤭

when you record and the camera pans to him, he smiles and covers his face blushing bc he can't contain it. it was such a cute video and got iver 2 mil likes. cartman definitely commented "i bet you had to change your clothes 10 times"

cartman

"cartman lets do this" "what." "wdym? cmon its cute" "y/n no offense but that is the most gayest shit i've ever seen" " NO ITS NOT UTS CUTE" "my reputation is at stake if i do that be so for real" "okay I'm asking kyle then" "lets do it."

he actually been wanting to ask you for weeks now but doesn't know how so winwin. you take your absolute time picking your lipstick and he couldn't be more done with "hurry up this doesn't even effect anything" "shut up cartman if i use the right one people will ask what lipstick it is and i get views"

picking a lipstick was already a big deal just imagine the process "ew gay not on my lips" "cartman 😐" tbh he wish he could just make out with you rn but yk how mans is

now recording is even more a hassle "JUST SMILE IS IT SO HARD TO CRACK A SMILE" "NOT WHILE IM LOOKING LIKE THIS" the most he does is wipes your lipstick off and then he just gives a 🙄 look until the end of the video

the comments are just him getting teased at clydes commenting "NAHHH CAN'T BELIEVE HE AGREED TO THIS" kyles is "i can tell that this took a long time" and then wendys is "is that cartman or a clone of him". cartman is pissed af at the comment, he told you his reputation is at stake 😒.

he actually has it saved downloaded and also is his live wallpaper sooo.

butters

butters is the one who asked you this " um y/n can we do this? 😣" while twiddling his fingers, "OKAY"

he's all giddy and smily during the process, after every kiss his blushes intensifies and by the end of it he is just.. 🔴

even though it is the most simplest video ever he has to have a tutorial, he is asking questions for everything man, how do i wipe the lipstick, what do i do, do i smile when its on me , do i laugh??

you tell him what he thinks he should he and he starts kissing you bc rn the sexual tension between you two is intense (to him atleast, he thinks thinks hand holding is already intense)

everyone comments on how cute he is and yk how tiktok is so people comment "does he whimper" "submissive who?" and hes likw WHATTTTT 🧍

clyde

when you suggested this he nodded so hard his head probably was about to fall off. "clyde you wanna do this" "DO I???" ..... "well.. do you?" "i mean yeah it's like a way of- yes i wanna do it"

he loves any lipstick you wear so he lets you pick. after every kiss he looks in the mirror and kicks his feet giggling and you just stand there 🤨

he also tries to make it a makeout session like kenny, when you kissed on his lips he holds your neck and literally makes out with like cnon we have 9 more

when you first hit record and yk how the guy has to wipe your lipstick off, nah he grabbed you by the chin and slams his lips with yours "WHY DIS YOU DO THAT??" "its called content,you wouldn't know with your 9 likes and 70 views"

well you kept the clip and everyone in the comments were talking about it "need a boyfriend like you y/n" "why can't my boyfriend be like this" clyde is obviously gloating bc he had the idea.

tolkien

most romantic man you know, is the first to ask you. "y/n can we do this?" "OKAY BOO 😝"

"hmm which lipstick do you think babe?" "i think every lipstick makes you pretty, it doesn't matter if it doesn't suit you because in my eyes you look beautiful in anything ☺️" "what if i wore kim kardashians 2013 met gala dress" "might have to rethink what i said"

he smiles while you kiss him here and there, every once a while he kisses you back, it was such a cute moment for you two😝🤞🤞

when recording he looks at you while smiling during the whole video and it blew up fast because of that

"the way he looks at her" "wishing he was like this" "you got the bag that man is inlove", it blew in seconds fr

craig

"craig lets do-" "okay" "i didnt even ask you yet" "I'll do anything if its with you" "what if i asked you to have a threesome" ".....if its makes you happy idk.."

idk about you but i think he acts like he doesn't care but inside he is so happy you asked he's been wanting to ask you this but doesn't know how to start up the convo

he doesn't care what lipstick or where you kiss him, its just the way you press your lips on him and look at it then quickly reapply to do it again because it wasn't pigmented enough.

when recorded, he doesn't just wipe he makes you turn to face him by grabbing your chin, and he doesn't let go and just looks at you with those yk siren eyes.

people are simping over him ong "damn girlie share for us" "you mean OUR boyfriend" "tryna find someone as hot as him" and you are pissed fr he laughs at you cursing out the people, like bae dw my eyes only fo you 😝🤞

tweek

"tweek, wanna do this?" "but what if I can't remove the lipstick stain" "tweek what dw i have makeup remover" "WHAT IF THAT DOESN'T WORK 🤯����" "TWEEK"

okay so the lipstick may turn out ugly bc of how shaky he is but ITS OKAY BC ITS TWEEK DUH, "a-are you sure you dont want to redo this?" "tweek its fine"

he insists on redoing it the 2nd try turns our worse because he's even more twitchy because of how close you are☺️☺️☺️

his face is just red because he keeps wiping it off with his hands so you can redo it and its obvious too

recording it was so funny because you can't stop laughing at the smudge lipsticks

when posted the comments were so cute but... uh questionable some were "the way the smudges are so obvious 😭😭❤️" or "wishing my future relationship will be like this 🤭" and some were just "tip colour when?? 😜"

Semifinals

Sakura Haruno

Her husband is gay and her author doesn't know how to write women. So many people say she's the worst but she. DESERVES. BETTER!!! Save her from this franchise.

My baby girl my bestie my best friend. She committed the crime of um being written by kishimoto who both doesn’t know how to write women and somehow writes men in the gayest way possible specifically naruto and sasuke. Like the thing is naruto and sasuke ARE gay and also she gets so much hate for the crime of kishimoto writing her one dimensionally in love with sasuke. I know her personally she is a butch lesbian to me just trust me she’s in love with Ino and has a lesbian thing going on with Karin okay just trust me. My everything. She needs to divorce the loveless lavender marriage she’s in 

What is there to say, even? The OG Threat to my 90s anime brain, the only woman I've ever hated with such a passion she made me turn away from the color pink. I used to write fics with my friend where she got left behind on purpose so our OCs could join the Naruto and Sasuke team instead. I loathed this bitch until I was 16 and realized the author simply couldnt write women and decided it was time to make peace with Sakura. It is not her fault she's vaguely written and obsessive over Sasuke. She deserves better. Sasuke and Naruto still should be together and Sakura shouldnt be with Sasuke but I no longer believe this because I hate Sakura, it is because I love her. She deserves a spouse who will actually put in the time to treat her like the hero she is.

Casca

She is part of a weird fucked up love triangle with two dudes. All three of them are honestly kind of terrible for each other but she gets shoved aside in favor of the two dudes in most fics and is not allowed to grow past the toxic relationships of her past. Also she’s a cis woman who dresses pretty masculinely (because she’s in a mercenary band) so she gets type casted as the mean lesbian friend, when she’s straight in canon

I've seen more than one Yaoi Shipper say that Casca should have died during this one big canon event as opposed to being assaulted by one of the people in the Yaoi Ship, which of course conveniently would remove her from the narrative and as an obstacle to said Yaoi Ship. Aside from that specifically, though, I think it's particularly cruel to imply that being killed is a better outcome than being a victim of SA, and is an example of the contempt fandom on the whole has for female characters who act traumatized - particularly when both male characters in the ship have similar trauma and its never implied they should have died rather than be assaulted.

She's an incredibly interesting character in her own right with really good dynamics and parallels to Griffith and Guts, and the way those three play off of each other is integral to the story, but most of what I've seen completely ignores her in favor of focusing on only Griffith and Guts

I've Never Seen Luka, But Jon Kent Has

I CANT

I love Alberto being an artist (a bad one, for now, but still and artist)

Okay, that's it, Ciao :)

[yurisorcerer]

Two immediate thoughts here. 1. A good chunk of this episode is the gayest thing I've seen in an anime that's not technically about wlw romance in years. 2. It's so, so funny that the obvious solution to the Aqua/Akane/Kana "love triangle" is polyamory but all 3 of them have way too many issues to make that ever work. (Also mainstream fiction just Doesn't Ever Do That because life is pain. Also they're all in showbiz so that's another obstacle there.)

ANYWAY.

I love that this episode, in a fundamentally similar way to the last one, is less about the play itself and more about the psychology of the characters of Akane and Kana. To an extent, "it's about the psychology of these characters, not their performances themselves" is the whole show and at least most good examples of anime about the arts in general, but it's *really* pronounced here. Almost the entire episode is from Akane's perspective from the point that she shows up, and this is especially obvious with her flashbacks to her childhood meeting with Kana.

In a lesser series, something like this would come off as really contrived. You mean to tell me that Akane was taken with the quality of Kana's acting at such a young age? That she just happened to meet her while doing auditions? That when the real Kana inevitably doesn't live up to Akane's idealized image of her (boy that whole relationship is a WHOLE thing on its own), there just happens to be a honkin huge billboard of Kana outside staring her down?

The unreliable narrator card is obvious, but this is so clearly a depiction of how Akane remembers all of this rather than what actually happened per se. I love it, I love how it leads Akane to delve deeper into the psychological side of acting, and I love her speech about how the Kana she loved was an overpowering, selfish actress.

Let's dive into that little monologue actually, because I think it's really telling not just about Akane but about Oshi no Ko in general. The specific phrasing she uses to convey what she wants out of Kana---or at least how it's translated---is "acting that devours everyone around you."

This is something Oshi no Ko is kind of obsessed with. Charisma, talent, star power, as this almost supernatural force that bends the world around it. This is something it shares in common with like, a very small handful of other anime I've ever seen, most prominently Revue Starlight which I think is more similar to Oshi no Ko than fans of either would ever care to admit, but it's such a perfect conveyance of the feeling of being swept up by someone who is just that talented. That's what Akane wants out of Kana, and she is so frustrated that she's not getting it, and she kind of has a breakdown near the end of the episode because she fears she might be in the wrong for wanting it. She worries that she's just coming off as a showboat.

But the funny thing is, she isn't! Kana's general reticence to really stand out is hurting her! This is a fact that Kana herself doesn't even seem entirely cognizant of despite how obvious it is to everyone else. (Including Aqua, who only joins the proceedings at the very end here. There's a grim irony in how good he is at spotting everyone else's issues but how bad he is at understanding his own.) Akane frames it as Kana having been "squashed down by the adults around her" which is a real thing that happens to kids who excel in ways that aren't necessarily expedient to the adults around them. It has a resonance beyond the world of show business that Oshi no Ko takes place in, and I think that's part of what makes this whole ongoing arc so effective. We will presumably get more into Kana's head next episode (and Aqua's, since he's part of this too and there's still the whole "deliberately triggering himself as acting trick" thing to deal with), i can't wait.

Also! I must say I love how dreamlike the back half of this episode feels. There are huge swathes of it where it's not really clear if what we're seeing is the actual play, something backstage, or some kind of idealized thought-space that combines the two. I hope they keep leaning into that, it's fantastic.

[castlebyersafterdark]

im not sure if you were around for the moment before noah was officially out when people were saying that him partying in this outfit (overalls in linked article) was the straightest frat boy thing they'd ever seen but i want your input cos somehow this is the gayest thing i've ever seen instead

its got 80s corn scenario written all over it i can hear the lounge lizard music

https://instinctmagazine.com/noah-schnapp-reveals-his-grandpas-text-after-coming-out/

Oh, yeah. You are correct. I only remember seeing that photo after the fact, and it's one of those instances I mean whenever I say that it's wild to look back and was like - this was your straight frat bro? I'm sorry, but actually not. It's said with fondness and recognition - that overalls look is so gloriously gaaaay. Holy shit my boy. Plain sight, plain sight. It's such a ho look, and men would be on that if he wore this to a different event, I'm just. Alright. It's like a caricature of masc fashion and likely unintentional by him but it's still. Quite something. I've gotta post it with this ask because the visual... it's necessary. Noah Noah Noah. I don't even know what to really say here. Obsessed.

[tonystarkisadouchebag]

From my experience, I think people are generally not good at detecting homophobia in media, and among fandom types that are really into LGBT+ rep, there is like this pervasive idea that if it's gay in any way, it can't possibly be homophobic and can only be positive gay rep bc rep is rep - moving away from superheroes, that's how you get people thinking obvious gay predator tropes in old literature where homosexuality is meant as a scary mark of deviance is Representation TM and get mad if you criticize it, and I guess with this movie, which I am admittedly hearing about second hand bc I'm not going to watch it, it sounds like people are unaware that this seems just like the dudebro no homo kind of 'humour' that was common in the 2000s, but just spun in a slightly less negative way now, yet still relying on homophobic tropes for the punchlines.

Good point! On one hand its nice that younger people are a bit oblivious to 20th century/early 2000s homophobia but I think people have lost the plot. We don't need to call Deadpool revolutionary gay rep because he simply isn't. Its cool to still like him, there's no need to stop watching his films and reading his comics, but you don't need a moral reason to justify liking it. I think the backlash to the homophobia critiques, that I've seen, have been because so many people feel the need to only consume art that is 'good' and progressive. Deadpool is not that but it still has the right to exist, you can still enjoy it.

On the whole, I think people need to take themselves less seriously and admit that they enjoyed schlock that had some homophobia that they were able to ignore or twist into something else. There's a tweet going around calling Deadpool 3 the gayest thing they've ever seen, and made by and for gay people which is just patently untrue (and they're saying this genuinely bc they're confused about people calling it homophobic). Like... at this point what are we doing, go watch the Interview With The Vampire tv show and get back to me.

[papermonkeyism]

(Just thinking out loud, pay no mind.)

Randomly wondering how bad of an idea, exactly, it would be to buy a septum ring with bigger radius than my current one as it would also bump the thickness of the ring up to 1.6mm from the current 1mm (for the record the piercing was done with a 1.2mm ring, but I later swapped it because I wanted it golden colored and smooth instead of one with a ball lock, and the store I bought mine from didn't have bigger sizes in stock at the time)

It took my nose five months to calm down and not get upset from accidental touches, so wonder how long it would take to calm down from upgrading the size, and whether that even is something I could do myself, or if it'd be wiser to go to a piercer...

Also I'm gonna be forever mad that a friend of mine linked me the prettiest clicker ring I have ever seen, and I have a mighty need, but its radius is merely 8mm, which is two millimeters smaller than my current, very small feeling, ring, and I'm not sure if wearing it would be too small for a septum and end up pinching because look at this thing! That's the gayest piece of jewelry I've ever seen and I'm mad at how tiny it is. Like, just two millimeters bigger. Just to be sure it would be actually wearable. That's all I want.

[pinky-the-polar-bear]

review of ur babygirl's passion project?

I've seen a lot of gay porn over the years, but Roadkillerz is the gayest thing I've ever watched. Not a single one of these bitches is straight, and I can't get enough of it!

But to get real, I am immensely proud of my boyfriend. Animating anything takes time and effort, but animating a full-length pilot is no small task. And for the most part, he did all of it alone. Save for a few people providing voices and feedback (myself included in both regards), Roadkillerz is his passion project built off a shoestring budget. Yes, the budget reeks all over this pilot, from its inconsistent pacing to the varying quality of its voice acting. But this is a learning experience for him. Even if I stumbled upon Roadkillerz as a complete stranger, I'd be able to pick up how passionate he is in spite of how flawed the final product is.

Now if I were a kid, I'd eat this shit up much like how I ate up South Park and Billy and Mandy. So as far as replicating the look of 2000's cartoons goes, he nailed it.

Ever since Ghosty told me about Roadkillerz over a year ago, I've been by his side fleshing it out further. Hell, he considers two of the OCs I made for it essential to his vision, which still humbles me. I'm eternally thankful knowing he loves what I've created for his creation, and as a result, I've never had more fun creating something. I firmly believe in the success of Roadkillerz. Whether it becomes an indie hit, a worldwide phenomenon, or something that continues to only be known to a select few, I want Roadkillerz to be fulfilling for Ghosty. I want him to look back on this 20 years from now and say, "I'm still proud of how that turned out." He deserves to love something he created. He deserves to see what my other friends and I see in Roadkillerz.

Want nothing more than to see stu be actually sadistic as hell tbh, like I know that boy has it in him and I know billy likes it too idc what he says

Also when’s that gay ass faggot billy loomis gonna realise he don’t like tits, and go absolutely nuts for men in general (I’m a man liker btw if it’s not obvious)

- t4t old man yaoi biting anon

(btw thanks, I do what I can for the little horny people in my phone 🫡 and I was salivating while typing the biting thing but skin is so soft and breakable in teeth, not my fault, very biteable, would recommend tearing the flesh off a man)

You gonna get some Stu sadism in Ch 10 anon! Cause you're right, boy likes to slice n dice. Billy absolutely does like it, definitely one of the big things that attracts him to Stu imo, thats why I started debaser with the little short bit about Stu taking pics when he hunts MY BOY IS MESSED UP AND WE LOVE HIM.

This gay gay homosexual butt boy is in so much denial but I promise you I'm working on it. So funny you're mentioning tits though cause I literally just wrote the scene where Sid flashes him and he makes the gayest expression I've ever seen. Gay gay homosexual gay stuff incoming.

and you're so right skin is so soft and breakable in teeth, very biteable, and absolutely, the flesh should be torn off a man. Truer words have never, could never. Very relatable.

[mement0--m0ri]

This semester is by far the hardest semester I've completed so far (and this includes doing 7 subjects at a time in Germany last semester). But I'm starting to get my final results back and I crushed it! I'm so proud of myself right now for how well I've managed to hold it together between not sleeping for days at a time and my cat being not well (she is 16years old now and I know I don't have much time left with her).

On top of all that I've started therapy again, my sister came out to our parents and had some mental health stuff that we all needed to work on as a family to support her, my best friend is a state away these days and its not always easy to get her on the phone due to the hours she works as a paramedic.

It's been a lot.

I'm really looking forward to spending the whole next semester on placement (internship). It's a little daunting knowing I need to complete 500 hours (unpaid, yay!) over the next couple of months in an industry I've learnt a lot about, but have no real world experience in to a point. I will be working with people with disabilities, which I have a lot of first hand knowledge on, and I have taken a lot of disability focused courses when they are offered. So in my head I'm trying to convince myself that I will be fine. But, IDK, placement is different than starting a job. Most jobs I've had have lead to the degree I'm completing, but I don't have hands on experience which makes my imposter syndrome flare up. The company I'm placed with only takes students with lived experience with disability which I think is amazing. As a disabled person, I've seen first hand the need for social workers who have more than a textbook understanding of how even the smallest thing affects your whole life.

In other news, I went to a poetry slam last night, and it somehow feels like the gayest thing I've ever done?? (she says after sleeping with women for years). Anyway, it was a really great night and I really enjoyed myself. The local one is on once a month, so I think I'm going to try and make the effort to go when I can. I also joined a queer writing group in my local area which is really cool. They are all so lovely, and it feels good to make more queer friends. Or just friends in general. I tend to be a bit of a loner lately, which really doesn't bother me, but its nice on occasion to spend time out of the house with new and interesting people.

I've also been forcing myself to get out and about more often since semester ended. I've been spending a lot of time at the beach, which is weird for me because I've never thought of myself as a beach person. But in Germany, I really realised how much I missed just being near water. Where I was living in Fulda, there was a lake near my student accommodation that I used to walk to and just spend hours sitting near writing and studying. I guess now that I'm home, the beach has become a calming and safe space for me. I like to go first thing in the morning when I'm awake, watch the sun come up over the waves, then I usually go for a walk for an hour or so.

My goal for next month is to find some other places to visit. As much as I'm enjoying the beach, I want to get back to hiking around my local area more. Get back to nature a little I think.

Anyway, for literally no one but myself, this has been a June life update.

So I have a bone to pick with Cyberpunk 2077

The romanceable characters. Specifically the way they've handled which characters you can romance.

Holy shit, this is going to be a rabbithole.

So the way they've decided to make romanceable characters work in this game is that with different bodytype/voice options you are able to romance different characters, with at most only two options being available at any given time. In theory this means that who you can romance depends on who you are and that changes how they act around you. But I have to qualify this as "in theory" because that is not in fact how this works in game.

Instead they act the exact same at every turn until it comes to the moment where you can attempt to initiate romance, at which point if you don't meet their preferences they will recoil like this is coming out of nowhere. At least that's what happened when I tried to have a romantic relationship with Panam and didn't realize female V can't romance her. There's 4 options total in a playthrough, a gay man named Kerry, a lesbian named Judy, a straight man named River, and a straight woman who is of course Panam.

The other character that female V can't romance is obviously Kerry, and yet he still acted like he was into my character. This leads me to my new theory that all romanceable NPCs with gender-based "Preferences" are bad, even when they are good. I mean, I only have to point to BG3 for a more recent example of a widely popular and successful game that let the players choose with the only limitations being based on behaviour, and not gender.

For starters, it's a lot simpler to let the player decide their relationship with certain characters, especially when it comes to romanceable NPCs. Especially because it means that you don't then have to try and hack together a character's dialogue and actions based on what the player character looks/sounds like.

Larian didn't forget to add gender-based "preferences" to every companion in BG3, they chose not to add unnecessary barriers for romancing the companions. Because ultimately they knew that allowing the player to define their relationship with each character was better than arbitrarily deciding for them based on the gender of the character they chose to play.

Back to Cyberpunk, the only reason I know for sure that Panam is straight and Kerry is gay is because I had to look it up. A good rule of thumb with romanceable characters is that if you have to look up whether or not they are romanceable, because their actions and dialogue in game is sending mixed messages, then you've probably fucked something up.

It would have been far less work for the developers and far more enjoyable for the players to just make all of the characters bi/pan and let the player decide who they want to be with. I mean, at most you'd have to have both VAs for V record more lines to fill the gaps, and that's about it, really. It's not like the sex scenes are explicit enough to require different ones depending on your character.

The problem with trying to give the NPCs gender-based "preferences" in a game like Cyberpunk 2077, is that due to technical limitations, those "preferences" only actually matter in very specific circumstances, so they change very little about how the character actually acts around you, thereby confusing the player by constantly sending mixed signals. It also really doesn't help that in some parts of the game, it feels like certain character interactions, like Panam's, were primarily written around V being a man.

Like if Panam was written to always be straight, then Panam is the gayest straight woman I've ever seen, and genuinely acts like she was originally written to interact exclusively with a male V:

She constantly talks to you about how you're the one good thing in her life, which can be seen as innocent enough on its own, especially as part of her character arc is learning to trust you and other people again.

She acts so differently around you than she does around other people. She seems a lot more willing to be vulnerable with you and only you. And playfully flirts with you a lot.

At one point she uses your lap as a foot rest in a way that does not come off as platonic, and feels flirtatious.

She slept on your shoulder and liked it enough to tell you that you have a really comfortable shoulder.

I should add that you are both sleeping on a couch and she was laying away from you in the position she originally asleep in, that line implies she went out of her way to not only move closer toward you in the night, but also move into a position where she could sleep with her head planted on your shoulder, meaning she was also laying at least partially on top of you. Which is the exact opposite of sending out straight vibes when the player character is a woman.

However, this all happens regardless of how you've made your character. And again, if you're a female V, or have a female voice, and you try to initiate romance with her, she suddenly recoils like your advances are coming completely out of nowhere, and then says that she just doesn't feel that way about you.

Mixed.

Fucking.

Signals.

My Eurovision top 19 with comments!

Carpe Diem - I love it so much! Catchy, danceable, and the post-chorus guitar solo is so sick. Wish I could do that with my guitar...

Evidenment - Fun, and I love disco-pop! Vocals are on point. Takes a while to get started though.

Cha Cha Cha - KAARIJA SWEEP. Such a banger. Definitely prefer the second part, though.

Promise - Metal is not at all my thing, but this slaps! Love the electronic part. I feel like it loses steam as it goes on though.

My Sister's Crown - I feel like the controversy has distracted from how much this slaps. I love the chorus and the rap part so much. Lots of girl power here, and I'm happy about it!

Queen of Kings - It's a bop, it's got great vocals, and that WHISTLE NOTE! Catchy as hell.

Aija - I love uncommon time so much... It does take forever to find its feet, but that chorus hits so well. Love the outro. I don't like it as much as Eat Your Salad (I love and miss that song so much), but it's good.

Eaea - it's giving culture, it's giving Spain out of its flop era, it's giving genre crossover... Definitely the most powerful voice in the competition, and even though there's only a few songs revealed, I think that'll remain true.

Due Vite - And THIS is why Italy is my stan country. Admittedly it's a little more generic than their last few entries, but I still like it.

Because Of You - Gayest thing I've ever seen (complimentary). I unironically really like it though. 90s house is so cool.

Heart Of Steel - It's not bad, it's just that the last three entries were so good that it seems bad in comparison. The downtempo-style production is great, the lyrics aren't quite so great, I think it'll all come down to the vocals in the end...

Bridges - Actually an ok ballad? Interesting melodies. I think it'll either surprise NQ or end up on the left side, no idea which lol

Breaking My Heart - So obviously TikTok-bait it's obnoxious, but there is a decent song there. I'm distracted by that fucking haircut lmao

Mama SC - Ah, the novelty song. As a song it's really repetitive at the start, but then it finds its feet, and some parts legitimately slap lol.

Dance (our own party) - Trying to be Epic Sax Guy? It kinda has potential, if they fix that goofy staging, that is. Unfortunately it's really repetitive - sax riffs are only good if you use them sparingly.

We Are One - Yeah, definitely very generic. Sounds like something from a commercial.

Stay - I get why people don't like ballads now lol. Defs a step down from Sentimentai

Duje - Not really my thing, and the message seems kinda awkwardly executed. It seems more anti-divorce than pro-family, which... That's iffy.

D.G.T - Nothing is less sexy than someone obviously trying to be sexy with all of their might. The song is ok, but the staging is just awful. That one clip of Alvan winking at the end of the final performance of Fulenn is ten times more sexy than the whole three minutes of this. And the "Make Love Not War" is just annoying.

liability

word count: 836

warning(s): lots of angst, hurt with comfort, relationship issues, cursing, an argument

Read on AO3

-----------------------------------------------

Songs were something that could get caught in Harley's head easily, but conversations never stayed. They were too fleeting, too quick, and he was too spontaneous for them to ever even make sense, much less be remembered.

When he and Peter started dating, he tried desperately to hoard every word, to keep every cadence in his mind, because one thing he could remember were the lessons he learned and one he could never forget was that everyone left. He didn't want Peter to leave but that wasn't something he could control, so at the very least, he could make the memories stay.

And then Peter started leaving and leaving and leaving and coming back and leaving and every time he did, he would always remember another lesson he learned too young, the lesson that you have to leave before you get left.

It's like a song, that one cynical dance of words playing in his mind over and over, a background track to an argument he should've seen coming.

What the fuck are you doing to yourself? Can't you stop? For me?

It's not that easy.

You don't have to do everything you can do just because you can! Take a goddamn break, won't you?

I can't take a goddamn break, Jesus. Do you even hear yourself?

I don't think I'm asking for too much here. Oh, but he was, he was, he was.

You have to leave before you get left.

No, of course you don't.
