one of the main reasons i love ofmd is the unapologetic queer joy they show us. there's not a single moment where the drama revolves around a character's "coming out" moment. there's no need to accept or reject anyone for what they identify as. like, for fuck's sake, there have been so many moments in the show where they explicitly tell us, "hey, this is us, take it or leave it." no explanations, no justifications—just pure, unfiltered representation. it truly drives in the point that at the end of the day, queer people are also just simply people.
as much as i appreciate the abundance of queer representation we're getting now, i cannot emphasize how much a show like ofmd means to me. i am begging more companies to do what ofmd is doing and just show queer people living as boring old fucking people instead of as victims. take us beyond existing as an educational tool or a plot device. show queer people being people, and we'll stop being victims.
"kill me. kill us all. our spirit will last throughout your entire fսckin' empire because... we're good." you know what this show teaches us? that queer people are resilient as fuck, and that whatever we may have been told, shown, and made to believe about our queerness is wrong. we're good. we continue to be good despite the hardships we face. despite all the shit our elders and trailblazers have gone through from the beginning. despite the political landscapes of today that continue to try to strip us of our dignity and rights. we still exist and we will continue to exist—as people first, and victims last.

Question for the non-binary and trans people on this app.
Due to some unhelpful introspection I (non-binary) have realised that most of the characters (particularly male characters I don't know why) I don't really see as men, in the sense that I don't see them as the gender that I would see them as if they popped to life in front of me. So I'm wondering if this is a gender blind trait due to being non-binary or smth else.
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT GENDERQUEER DONT VOTE!

i remember once i posted a tiktok about transfem mike wheeler and got a dm saying something along the lines of "but wills gay how would that work?" and while i get what they mean it's so much more complicated then that.
transfem mike has no chance of happening. its not implied anywhere, it can't become canon, nothing about tf mike can be pointed out and linked to something canon. byler is (most likely) going to be canon. it's a real thing, and obviously, will is gay and would not like a female version of mike. but it's also way more nuanced than that.
people letting a ship control headcanons that don't contradict canon (because gender, while being something about a character, is always changing and becoming more complex, even to cis people) is ridiculous to me. so sure will wouldn't like a transfem mike, but that doesn't mean transfem can't exist
