[ID: a set of pride icons featuring Merliah Summers from Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2 with background gradients based on the aromantic, asexual, and aro-ace pride flag colors / finish ID]

the second pride icon set with Merliah! she's one of the few barbie protags i was glad to see was single. and later on, i knew i had to add the aro-ace spectrum onto her, hehe.

respect to those who see her as sapphic, tho, bc of her dynamic with kylie.

no need for credit if you use them.^^

Note: i’m not open for any icon requests atm, this is just a sporadic post, sksksk.

They are supposed to be the trans flag and the agender flag, but it seems that Cap'n is fairy type and Sweet is poison type. But hey, I think he turned out nice

Lo que en su momento fue una amistad cercana, ahora es una rivalidad que la consume sin descanso.

I was bored, so I started making Cap'n lgtbq icons, there's no reason, just because if

it brings me great joy that you are a certified hater of SJM. i cannot stop reading her books (without paying her for them obviously) but the whole time is essentially continuous yelling to my fiance. it's just......so hamfisted and ridiculous. is this why people watch reality tv? do i keep reading them as a desperate attempt to understand the heterosexual lady psyche? wonders never cease. sorry for the uh, manifesto?

no need to apologise, anon, although i'm not sure how I should respond?

While I think SJM's books have always had problems with bad/lazy worldbuilding, compulsory heterosexuality and heternormative gender norms, and the treatment of race and LGTBQ characters, I do agree there was stuff that was fun in them, initially. I wasn't a fan of Throne of Glass but did read a few instalments of ACOTAR.

I think what's suffered as she got more and more popular is that she stopped being edited, and that really, really shows. Not just in the repetition of certain words/phrases, bad sentence structure, etc. but in wholesale plagiarisms of things like the lord of the rings 'lighting the beacons of gondor'. which. um. I mean I have a lot of feelings about plagiarism generally, but it was mostly just cringe to see an iconic and well-known scene from a movie lifted wholesale - it is a testament to um. why. i don't consider SJM a fantasy author.

anyway, idk what this adds but at least you gave me the option to rant about her some more!

[ID: a set of pride icons featuring Marie-Alecia from Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale with background gradients based on the pansexual, lesbian, sapphic, and bisexual flag colors / finish ID]

a pride icon set with Marie-Alecia who has my heart with my recent re-watch of A Fashion Fairytale (she's my favorite part of the movie, ok.). I'm more partial to seeing her as pan (the sapphic energy from her scenes with barbie but also... the dj and her didn't look too bad, imo. that's just me!) but it's valid for anyone to read her as anything else. :3

no need for credit if you use them.^^

Since it's pride month I think y'all should have a Kagami

she is my personal LGTBQ+ icon

noooooooo anon your s02e22 george ask... I saved it as a draft because I was in the middle of writing a response and tumblr ate it TᴖT

if you by any chance saved it in a doc somewhere pls re-send it.

but if not i want to reply to what you pointed out about ep #71 of the MASH podcast where the writers talked about Frank's original "secret past shame" being an instance of homosexual attraction...

so i haven't listened to all of MASH matters but I did listen to that episode because I'd heard of the rumoured original script and that it had been confirmed on the podcast and, as you said, it was.

i have to wonder if they would've kept the original epilogue in that case, where Trapper asks Hawkeye if there isn't anything in Hawkeye's past he'd like to keep hidden. Because if they had, then I don't see how it's not at least implying that Hawkeye is/was somewhere on the gay spectrum or at least had a gay encounter or was attracted to a man at some point. And also implying that Trapper knows about it. And there's one way to address the problems you pointed out with Frank being our one 'canonically bi' main cast member: by assigning a similar past experience to Hawkeye, our hero.

... i doubt it. I don't think Hawkeye or anyone else on MASH was intentionally 'queercoded'. Hawkeye being easily read as bisexual (which I agree, he is) =/= Hawkeye being difficult to read as straight either by general audiences or even lgtbq+ audiences in the 70s. same goes for Trapper and BJ.

(i'm talking about what i think the writers intended. this isn't meant to challenge anyone's gay headcanons - by all means zap every single character that has ever existed with the gay and/or trans laser beam)

It would've been a risk to the production for Hawkeye to be generally perceived as anything other than a heterosexual jock-y surgeon, and I'm not in the business of giving MASH more credit than it actually deserves. considering how wildly popular MASH was, it stands to reason that if Hawkeye was a gay icon, if he was 'gay coded' there'd at least be historical academic evidence of that. such evidence does exist for the 'gay villain' trope, shows like Star Trek, Xena, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and "real life" gay icons, Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli and James Dean.

Similarly I wouldn't say MASH was making any intentional, over-arching strides with race via Klinger. Compare to how Star Trek definitely did do that with Sulu and Uhura, though individual examples of this do exist on MASH (Hey Look me Over and I would argue with Soon-Lee and Klinger in Goodbye Farewell and Amen).

re: the Henry and Radar scene mirroring what's happening in the A-plot - yeah! sometimes you have to look a little closely to see how the plots talk to one another, and it can be really rewarding when you pick up on it.

sorry again about your ask disappearing into the void - it was a fun read and i wanted to publish it + my response together.

If you were a queer song, what would you be? (as in, songs talking about lgbtq (like lgbt by cupcakKe) or by queer singers (like smth by Lady Gaga) or simply a song that's accepted as iconic by the community (like Sweater Weather)) Or maybe what is your favorite?

Shit idk, I don’t really know many queer songs and the ones I do listen to don’t really describe me my favourite one which I don’t even think is mainly queer but it’s by a trans dude and mentions lgtbq a bit, is growing up on the internet by NoahFince

What’s yours?
