whats your banner about? /genq btw cuz i personally havent seen anything abt that so if u could fill me in on it id appreciate that
/not forced to answer, im just curious abt it
hey sure i'm happy to elaborate!
it's in response to the amount of folks who deem it okay to refuse to let transmascs and men into non binary and queer spaces because mascs and men "scare women and enbies" or are "unsafe to be around" or even "look too cis and make people uncomfortable". i've seen a massive pushback lately to completely and totally remove transmascs and men from the queer community because men are "dangerous". the same hatred and vitriol that people have for cishet men is being applied to trans men. ESPECIALLY straight trans men. straight trans men are treated like absolute shit and are labeled as dangerous and predatory.
i've also had the unfortunate displeasure of overhearing MANY queer folks that trans men aren't queer or trans, we're just "confused" or "butch lesbians". like i have heard this from other trans people. it's an unfortunate reality that some people literally refuse to see trans men and mascs as queer, because for some reason people view queerness as feminine or gender neutral only. i've literally heard people say that trans men can't call ourselves trannies because we're not trans. like i have seriously been told by numerous people that trans men AREN'T trans, and that "that's not what being trans means." i've met so many people who think the only way to be trans is transfem and it's been painful
i've unfortunately befriended several transfems who would gladly go on tirades and rants about how transmascs and men bring a "bad light" to the community, that trans men and mascs are insufferable and dangerous to be around because testosterone can "turn you into a monster," and i've even been told that i'm ruining my body. i've been told that people don't view me as trans because nobody WANTS to be a man for anything but nefarious reasons. many people say that trans men want to be men so they can engage in the patriarchy and oppress other people. i've been told by some people that they believed i transitioned so i could "have more power"
i got tired of seeing people think it's okay to ostracize trans men because they have trauma they need to work on. people blame the entirety of men and manhood on their problems, and project it on to trans men. it's sad and insidious. i've heard from SO MANY trans mascs and men who literally just do not feel comfortable in any queer spaces they try to attend because of how ostracized they feel, or how people would bully them and tell them they were just a confused butch lesbian, tomboy, or masculine girl.
hope that made sense to you! some people have really charged and heated opinions about trans men and mascs and if we belong in the queer community. i got sick of it. femininity, womanhood and gender neutrality are not the only ways to be queer

sorry to be nosy, but do u have any insights as someone who went through a divorce at a young age?
don't be sorry - what a fascinating question! it's STORYTIME. i don't know if this is so much my 'insights' as it is ruminations, but i digress.
i guess my number one tip would be: don't marry a bigot,,,
i'm kidding. mostly.
i'm very transparent about why i got divorced (if you know me in real life, you know how true this is), but that's what it boiled down to. i got married VERY young, 95% due to deeply religious family on both sides, 5% because i truly believed i had found the person i was going to be with forever. if you're going to be together forever, why not just bite the bullet and get married young, right?
i came out to my ex-husband as bisexual super early on in our relationship (i think 2 months into dating) because i obviously needed him to a) know i was queer and b) be cool about it, and he was. if i recall, he said, "oh. ok, good for you."
(later, he told me that that moment was almost a dealbreaker for him. i NEVER would have known, based on how he reacted in the moment.)
as a married couple, we were awesome roommates and very good friends and overall a wonderful team. then i started properly deconstructing christianity around the same time i started thinking about gender, and covid hit immediately after. i didn't come out to anyone as nonbinary until march 2021, and when i did, he was the first person i talked to. he was... significantly less cool about it than he was with bisexuality.
here's the thing. he LOVED having a wife. in hindsight, it's really easy to see that i could have been anyone, and he was really ready to settle down. i have to give myself some credit, because i think i'm excellent, but i do think that to some extent i was in the right place at the right time and checked off a lot of his boxes. if that sounds a little cold to you -- a SHOCKING amount of cishet men do this. it's weird.
anyway, i was His Wife™, and while i was by no means a traditional christian wife, i was still a very she/her slay queen girly.
then i started committing sins. (got some tattoos. started writing about The Gays. started speaking out against the church. Cut My Hair Short [cue gasps]. started dressing more androgynously.)
he couldn't get his head around using gender neutral language for me. to his students (he was in education at the time) i was His Wife. to his family, i was His Wife, even after i came out to them too. classic wifeguy stuff.
my current partner (who is SO wonderful) was in the process of becoming that best friend you have really confusing gay feelings about, and had to deal with me talking about this and how i was just going to have to settle for being with this guy who wouldn't respect my gender, even when that disrespect started actually making my skin crawl when he'd get close. because hey, marriage is for life. it didn't even occur to me that we might get divorced until about 4 days before The Conversation. i was genuinely ready to stick it out with this guy who refused to really See me, because i thought that was what i had to do.
then came The Conversation. i'd been invited to be a bridesmaid in his sister's wedding and had agreed to wear a dress, because hey, it's her wedding. if she wants bridesmaids in dresses, sure. (i was still very much reeling from my own wedding, but that's another story i'll tell if anyone's curious.)
anyway. dresses. i go to a fitting. i stand there numbly while wearing the most godawful dress i'd ever seen, feeling like Garbage. i go home. i step in the door, i burst into tears. sobbing, on the couch, i tell him that something's not right. i can't wear a dress to this wedding.
i think that was when he realized i wasn't going to grow out of being nonbinary. we had a really long, brutal conversation, mostly about how i was probably going to want top surgery one day, that ultimately resulted in him ending our marriage.
"i can't make you be somebody you're not," he told me. "but you can't make me attracted to you."
that's right, folks! the thing that ended my marriage was my tits.
we'd sat through and endured many conversations in which i shared my feelings about the church, about christianity, about the patriarchy, about gender as a whole, but in the end, the thing he could not get his head around was a version of me that didn't have a chest.
i won't lie, that shit stung. the constant rejection of my gender expression had sort of eroded any romantic love i felt for him at that point, but he'd been my closest confidant for so long by that point that i really had to work through some shit about worthiness in the weeks after. it was just surreal to me that me With tits was good and worth being married to, but a hypothetical version of me with a flat chest was so repulsive that he'd rather end a marriage than endure it.
and like, i get being a boob guy (trust me), but damn.
p.s. some really interesting notes: he waited to have this conversation with me until literally the week after i received the first 5-figure portion of my book deal advance, which meant when we were settling affairs, it counted as "marital income" and he got half, and then he hired lawyers behind my back after we said we wouldn't do that.
in hindsight? maybe it was never about the tits at all. ;)

I LOVE your crocodad theory I'm an obsessed believer but did u ever get romantic vibes from crocodile & robin business relationship? Many people get lover vibes from them & I never understood why. They seem VERY strictly business/stab each other in the back relationship. (Plus crocodile is TERRIFYING).
I think Croco/Robin as a ship exists kind of like... out of circumstance? Kind of?
Quick disclaimer, I only got into OP in like 2008~ish at the age of 13, I can not comment what it as like being in the fandom before that because I wasn't there (and when OP began in 1997 I was like two whole years old). So whatever I say here doesn't come from like, a fandom veteran who knows the entire history of the OP fandom or anything. I'm just attempting to rub my braincells together here
Like in the year of our lord 2023 we have many wonderful Crocodile ships to classify as OTPs and NOTPs etc, but if we go back to like 2006 or so, long before the Summit War Saga was even a thing, try to think about what characters you would have shipped Crocodile with? Because for a long time, the only canon material Crocodile had appeared in was just the Alabasta Saga (+one brief cover story), and we don't really see Crocodile interact with that many characters during the story. Like. Really the only character Crocodile has multiple, extended interactions with aside from Luffy and Vivi is Robin. All the other characters he interacts with maybe once or twice for very brief scenes, so based on canon material alone, there isn't much for fuel for shipping purposes.
It really wasn't until Marineford when we finally started getting other characters to ship with Crocodile, mainly the Ever Loyal Daz who seems to be willing to follow Crocodile anywhere (romantic as fuck) and Doflamingo after he and Croc tried to kill each other twice at Marineford (people seem to love a tsundere Croc) And now with Cross Guild we also have Mihawk (and Buggy) as far as shipping options go. And of course there's MORE than just these ships, there's the more crack-leaning ships (like Dragodile and whatever you'd call the Cobra-ship) and some others (Jinbei, Whitebeard, Ivankov, Galdino, Luffy even) etc etc
The only difference is that Croco/Robin got to kind of be like, "the default Crocodile ship" for like 8 years without major competition. And because the ship has "history", even when new ships pop up the one that has been around the longest will still stick out. Not to mention, although we have options now, even those have very little canon material to actually work with when compared to Croco/Robin. Like Dofuwani exists because the two had like three whole pages worth of interactions, but compare that to the screentime Croc had with Robin? It's not even a competition
Not to mention, Croco/Robin is just. Like it's kind of the mandatory het ship. Like there aren't many straight options with canon material to work with, and there's gonna be people who really want to have a het ship with Crocodile if you know what I mean. But also, let's be real. There's a lot of straight women who're horny for Crocodile. Valid as fuck. And Croco/Robin could have like, a self-insert-y quality to it, like some people might be able to see themselves in Robin? Also valid. And that can apply to some straight men too, like I'm sure there's cishet men who look at Crocodile with that "god I wish that were me" energy, who love seeing Crocodile ship fanart with Robin, as they can project onto Crocodile etc. This is also valid. Point is that the ship appeals to cishets by simply being a het ship, but also it might make for an easy ship for a lot of straight people to project onto for one reason or another.
But to be fair, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I think Croco/Robin has the potential to be a really interesting ship. Like they ARE the Baroque Works Boss Pair, literal partners in crime, the most powerful members of the secret criminal organization who run the whole operation, they worked together by themselves for four whole years, Crocodile protecting Robin by allowing her to hide under his wings. They were together, ready to take over an entire country and obtain a weapon of mass destruction And then Robin betrays him. And Crocodile admits he never trusted her to begin with.
Like on paper alone, this is great material for a juicy romance.
Especially now when we understand why Robin was on the run and why she feared being betrayed, and how looking back at Crocodile's reaction when Robin "reads" the Poneglyph for him, he genuinely seems a little sad about her betraying him (mystery trauma etc). This is a genuinely interesting character dynamic, like even without any romantic context I would love to see Crocodile and Robin meet again in the storyline and like, see what Crocodile thinks of Robin having joined the Strawhats vs what Robin thinks about Cross Guild, how the two might interact etc. They are interesting to me
Like personally, I agree, I don't think the two were actually ever romantically involved with each other (frankly I don't think Crocodile trusts anyone anymore enough to let them get close him like that, dude's been voluntarily celibate for like two decades lmao), their relationship was surely just business-only. And while the ship doesn't personally interest me (just kinda "meh" for me), I do understand why the ship appeals to others and why it's popular to this day
But yeah, I do think a lot of the reasons Croco/Robin is as popular as it is due to circumstance. It's been around the longest, it still arguably has the most canon material to work with, it appeals to lots of people. God knows shippers don't actually need the characters to like each other, otherwise people wouldn't be shipping Croc with Buggy as we speak

Any headcanons for the sees members?
Also plus piercing/ lgbt hcs as well 🫣
yessuh let me think … u gotta stay with me here bc i’m so bad at just thinking of regular headcanons
- im ngl ive been big into aki being a glasses wearer lately … like he seriously needs them but never wears them. just stubborn and blind as hell
- this is a popular one but i feel like i haven’t said it in a while: minato & kotone being twins. they obviously look nothing alike canonically but i try to give them very similar features when i draw them (like their nose and mouth) as well as a little beauty mark by their lip
- i love aigis wearing kotone’s clothes. i usually draw this represented by aigis wearing pink to imply its not her own clothes (cuz we all know she normally loves a blue outfit) but i think it’s super cute to imagine. oh & in general i like to give aigis a lot of baggy casual clothes instead of her usual dresses and whatnot. i just like to picture all of sees fashion senses rubbing off on her in different ways
- yukari is scared of ghosts but not horror movies, while junpei doesn’t believe in ghosts but horror movies scare him. im not sure at all if horror is ever brought up honestly i can’t remember but i always thought it would be funny that yukari is so jumpy about ghosts but she’s unimpressed with horror movies, while junpei teases her about ghosts but then a horror movie will have him up scared for a week. trust, he stays denying it scared him
to not make this long as hell, i’ll stop there and get to the rest of ur ask… cutting it bc i always feel like a long ass post will look so cluttered
for my lgbt hcs i kinda fluctuate but its fine:
minato/kotone: bisexual … basically canon for kotone, but i see it for minato as well. i’m pretty open to any kotone gender hc, i personally never thought about it for her. minato tho i think i mainly enjoy nonbinary or transfem minato 😭 but it still is the same that im pretty open to any gender hcs for him as well
yukari: lesbian. immediate answer. i’ve brought this up before feels like forever ago but i am a transmasc yukari enjoyer. it sucks because when i thought about it the first time i remember i had a really big explanation for it that had me hype as hell but now i can’t remember and i just passively enjoy it LOL
junpei: he’s all over the place. i think the cishet ally junpei is really funny just bc it makes me laugh when the whole lgbt friend group just has the one straight guy BUT i also enjoy junmina in every sense so i think i dabble in a little bisexual junpei sometimes …
fuuka: she kinda just gives me unlabeled vibes in sexuality. i had an initial sexuality hc for her but junfuuka started growing on me so i changed it in my head … but i really really love trans girl fuuka i think it’s one of my fav hcs for her <3
akihiko: i feel like i view him gay but i also refer to him as bisexual when i think it’s funny LMFAOOO one thing i keep consistent is that i think he’s trans. basically canon to me. i know the boobs and gorgeous face combo throw some people off but i never imagined he’d want to cut them off so i don’t depict that
mitsuru: lesbian & trans woman. i think oomfs have made transmasc mitsuru grow on me too but i personally mainly view her as a trans woman. also basically canon to me. it’s another one that just comes so naturally that i forget it’s not true
shinji: i don’t imagine he would really care about labels. i think he’d fall in line with being a guy, he/him, whatever but like deep down i don’t think he’d really give af. same with sexuality. he likes who he likes i don’t think he’d make a big deal of it. his gender and sexuality is summed up to “i got bigger things to worry about than this”
LMFAOOO sorry long ass section but for piercings i think it’ll be shorter STAY WITH ME!!!!!!! tbh i think most would just be a normal ass ear piercing so i’m sorry in advance …
- first off… i can see yukari and mitsuru with regular ear piercings. yukari maybe a cunty belly button piercing but i think only like post canon/p4au yukari would get it tbh
- mitsuru with a nose piercing maybe … i honestly can’t imagine mitsuru would ever have many besides the regular ear ones but i can see her with like a stud… i feel like it’s one of those piercings a person would never realize she had unless they looked really close at her face. it’s on her emo bang side so it gets covered
- i can actually imagine junpei with some normal ass ear piercings. but that’s as far as he’d go bc i think the piercing gun/needle would make him cry a lil bit
- kotone seems like she’d do ears as well 😭 if im leaning into a Way more emo minato then i can actually see him with a few like ears/lips/etc. but regular him i don’t think he’d do any … im so sorry omg
- i draw/imagine shinji without any but ive seen people depict him with a tongue piercing before. i lowkey fw it. it’s hidden so i think he’d like something like that … otherwise i can’t imagine him with much
i’m sorry from the bottom of my heart for the lackluster piercing hcs bc i also enjoy piercings a lot visually but realistically i felt like sees wouldn’t really do much 😭😭 they’re too boring !!!
anyways this was long as hell but super fun so thank you for asking !!! i love going to my mind place

abt your post abt bi women belonging in the wlw community just as much as lesbians : i was reading the replies and youre so right abt how ignorant people are abt what comphet really is. im a lesbian and like yea i think we would experience comphet in the most intense way since were not attracted to men in any level, but comphet isnt only abt that, its a symptom of the patriarchy forcing women to center men in their lives and hell even straight women experience comphet, let alone bi women. people just have thrown around the word comphet so much they dont even know the true meaning
I was actually gonna post abt this soon LMAO so yeah!! I think it's also a misunderstanding of what "heterosexuality" as a dominant social force is to say that lesbians who are not attracted to men can experience "comphet", but bisexual women who are attracted to men cannot experience it. "Heterosexuality" as it is defined by dominant social forces is not only "a relationship between a man and a woman" - it's almost always a relationship between a "masculine" man and a "feminine" woman, and quite often a relationship between a man and a woman that results in monogamous marriage and childbirth. When people write about comphet, they're not talking about how movies and TV and fairy tales and children's books and my parents and my teachers and my religion all came together and told me to want to fuck genderfucky bi guythings. There is a specific kind of man centered in the heterosexuality enforced onto women, and a specific kind of role that a woman is expected to take on in that heterosexuality. I think the idea that bi people (women especially) cannot experience "comphet" overlaps a lot with people who believe that all bisexual people have the capability to become "straight-passing" if they enter different-gender relationships, which is in and of itself based on, in my observances, the belief that "gay/lesbian culture" and "bisexual culture" are completely distinct and that bisexual people are in some way innately less capable of being gender-nonconforming (or as some Tumblr scholars will call it, "visibly queer"). Bisexual people often date each other, we're often trans and/or visibly gender-nonconforming, and that's not something that we can just turn off the minute we enter into a quote unquote "heterosexual relationship." I'm bisexual, I'm nonbinary and id as both a man and a woman (so I take part in all these "sapphic" conversations etc etc u know the drill), I'm weird and kinky and switchy, I'm polyamorous, right now I'm dating a cis butch bi girl and a trans + nonbinary pan guy. At this point in my life I have absolutely no interest in relationships with cishet men, I don't want to get monogamously married, I never want to have children. I have not performed heterosexuality any better than, idk, a "gold star lesbian" has, and I FEEL it, I'm given shit for it, every relative I have pressures me already about boyfriends and grandkids and whatever. I do think there are bisexual people sometimes who do conform more to Straight Society but a) I think there are an equal amount of gay guys and lesbians who conform to Straight Society tbqh and b) it doesn't cover the breadth of bisexual people who do exist and who do feel the pressure to conform to the mainstream, dominant social system of heterosexuality and who CANNOT conform to it any more than you, anon, probably can. So yeah TL;DR bi girls can definitely experience "comphet" lmao and people are probably gonna hate that I said that

(referring to your tags on a post) i'm so curious why you dont believe fkmt has outright condemned capitalism in his work with kaiji! i feel like that blatant condemnation is what makes up kaiji's whole appeal! although i'm definitely seeing his past (perceived by me) values getting "wishy-washy" in part 6 to say the least, if that's what you mean... but other than that, i feel like kaiji's whole plot has been pretty consistently caused by capitalism, and that teiai being the prime (and only true) enemy really displays that! would u disagree?😯 /genq
i hope this doesnt come off as confrontational or abrasive bc that's not my intention i'm just genuinely curious since it's a take that's so different from my own!! either way, take care!!
I can’t remember/find which post you’re referring to to look up the actual wording so imma take your word for it.
When I say he never “outright” condemn it I think I meant that he’s aware of the systemic problem but only to an extent. Like he recognized the class struggles that built capitalism, but that’s abt it.
It’s a thing I kinda noticed with cishet male writers lol. They’re aware of the classism and mistreatment but they’re also participating capitalism a lot of the time (bc patriarchy and capitalism always go hand in hand <33). When you compare his works to that of queer/women writers you can see how his approach is not to dismantle the system and make a new one but to play the game and hopefully cheat his way to the top.
Of course I believe that compare to other cishet writers he’s more kinly aware of certain things. He def understand that the system his characters are under do not allow the working class to hold onto wealth for too long (Kaiji literally loses his money to greedy businessmen everytime he wins lmfao).
I do believe he does condemn capitalism at the end of the day, what I wanna say was that his perspective is informed by his experience as a cishet man and that’s why I think he didn’t “outright” and not that he “never condemn”. Fkmt will say “society” before he says “capitalism” imo lmao 💀
But then again my takes are influenced by my personal experiences and biases as well, so I’m open to discussion anyday, so dw abt coming off confrontational or anything lol.
P/s: I haven’t read part 6 yet so I don’t know what to even say abt it 🤷‍♀️

Wanna do the A, B, C, D, headcanons list thing for Hyrule Warriors people of your choice? (The "What I think realistically, what's funny, what's soul-crushingly mean, and what makes me say fuck canon"?)
did you mean asau warriors who exemplifies all of these? 🤣🤣🤣
ask game in question
let's just do hw link bc he's my lil guy. the homies at koei techmo probably didn't think about him too hard so it's my job to think for them.
Headcanon A: what I think realistically
i think hw link takes his job very seriously. i haven't played hw but i just get this vibe from him. he's proud of what he's accomplished and also it's gone to his head a little bit. it's canon he has an overconfidence issue but i think that's the sword talking more than him and it backfires horrendously, leaving him incredibly doubtful of his skills.
Headcanon B: what I think is fucking hilarious
hmm... if you think of this like funny as in completely and totally opposite of canon, then i think that canon is leading you to believe that link is a Tough Manly Hot Guy but i think he's a soft lil wet cat. babygirl, if you will. the most pathetic creature on the planet. also i loved mizu's inclusion that asau warriors bakes??? i'm fucking in love with that. housewife coded. COMPLETELY and totally opposite of what u think hw link would be on the tin.
Headcanon C: what is heart-crushing and awful but fun to inflict on friends
realllllly leaning into the horrors of war and the ptsd that comes with that. hyrule warriors haha fun hack and slash game!!! but what if you think about how this is a war going on and people are dying. how that affects a person's psyche long term. depression, ptsd, etc etc etc. this kind of thing can get really bad really quick.
Headcanon D: what would never work with canon but the canon is shit so I believe it anyway
GAY AND TRANS AF BABEEEEYYYYYY!!!! so like in-game cia and lana are like "link is destined for zelda and we're sad about it bc WE like him!" and it's a love triangle going on but i'm ignoring that completely. link is not destined for zelda, they can try it if they want but i don't think it'll work out with these two. rlly hard for me to write a cishet character tbh, they gotta have SOMETHING lgbt. i also can't write anyone that's allistic....

S1e03: The episode that inspired the infamous makeover --like betty looked really good in my opinion maybe the hair was a bit much but she was so confident I loved that for her 🥹💜💜💜. Is it safe to theorize that the late nights they spent working ignited something between them. More so with daniel though as he felt he could share his dads trauma with betty like who does that with their assistance, which is why when he said "they smile a little brigheter when they enter the room" I thought he meant betty my delulu sorry--he was just talking about his dads favouritism I realise.
Tumblr media
Maybe I don't get it why would marc wanting to make betty a screenshot on his phone not make me assume he finds her attractive like I don't understand how am I supposed to percieve it as mean. Especially with her beautiful smile
--not daniels finest episode, sees betty and is like she should call for a table at the back at the restuarant they were going to😑😑. Still pissed but when daniel looks at betty when they are presenting infront of his dad and his dad says he doesn't know what his doing it's like looking at betty give him confidence that if she believes in this then why shouldn't I stand up to my dad. Daniel sure does have his low moments and good moments I'll say that. Hated Whilemina for how she treated betty here (but her moment with her dad😓😓) and he did try to to defend betty and checked up on her in the female bathroom which could is the bare minimum but no boss does the things daniel has done on behalf of betty as his assitant or i could be wrong. Although again he has his moments because he didn't try to persaude betty to go to the dinner she planned and wouldn't have happened without her. Let's her be replaced by amanda (couldn't he say to vincent betty wasn't feeling well but I understand also not trying to upstage a client) it's very iffy. But then he upstages the whole date, also mind you he was literally drinking as if he was depressed of her not being there And that's why he proudly fetches her ,has her up close to him and everything like I'm not ashamed of her and really shows how they were growing together. He apologizes for everything when they get to the office and just is so vunerable to her about Whilemina and her dad and like he said at the date the he got caught up in some stupid image. Also he was so work husband "i give you bettys word" this men is insane he let betty run that company basically. Like the way he lights up his world is crazy his reaction to bettys shut up (he loved that girl ) and the saying cojones with that smirks sir ur feelings are showing.
S1e04: Boo walter👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 his so annoying like he some how didn't want betty to prosper in life. But on the plus side justin and marc friendship starts in this episode --and the start of the trio that is betty marc and amanda so cute they had each others backs. Daniel and betty having a secret together 🥹🥹. I love the parrlells of Whilemina and betty and feym her trying to honour her Memory even though she wasn't the greatest boss to her I think that's wholesome she suggested that.
Tumblr media
He's INSANE sir she is ur Assitance ,like what are u talking about. Betty coming all lovey dovey with "heres ur dinner must be starving " like something about her doing her job has so much love ---the undertones. "You worker hard today" in a soft tone. And everything after that has me kicking and giggling. The vunerable moments between between them is just so wholesome so the musical box mystery is addressed and one thing a white cishet men will do is cause trauma. I love their eye contact "just be careful what you say" . I know this is the building of their friendship but their chemistry is just way to good for me to ever see them that way and this early too ,like if anything the friendship they were building was between betty and marc/Whilemina. The eye contact 😭😭 like not him repeating what he said early as if to reassure her to make sure she understands that she is important to him that she could do no wrong in his eyes , she'd burn down some magazine and he'd try and find a way to defend her. This level of care he had for her is crazy like whaaa.

how are u feeling about the gen V finale? i feel like the series had good bones but it’s messaging is very confused, and the last second twist with Homelander’s appearance and attacking Marie felt very out of nowhere. i don’t like the way they seemingly equate genocide (wanting to kill all humans due to them being “an inferior race”) with mental illness and seem to kind of. excuse that rhetoric by saying “these characters are traumatized, it’s understandable!” idk, i have very mixed feelings, i’d love to hear your thoughts
So, as I've mentioned when I've posted about Gen V, I didn't care for the entire plot of the show, like I would've rather follow Marie and Cate and other teen/twenty-year-old Supes deal, in real time, with powers they didn't ask for and how those powers ended up traumatizing them by causing harm and how they were then ostracized. I think that would've been a fresher route to go rather than The Boys 2.0. Besides the fact that I don't feel like I actually know any of the characters, that the relationships were rushed so I didn't care about the "betrayals" or about characters getting together because who ARE you people for me to really feel the impact of any of your decisions, the whole conspiracy of Godolkin doesn't work for me because I find myself asking questions. These characters have seen the war crimes Homelander et. al have done, they know about Compound V, cover-ups of some of the horrendous things Supes have done have been exposed so why would they be surprised when a university for Supes has a place called The Woods? Why would they be surprised when staff end up being manipulative and have their own agendas? What is actually surprising about anything that happens at that school? But at the same time, what did they think this school was? What was the lie that they were sold? What happens here that makes these characters think that cruel, shitty things wouldn't happen particularly since they also kind of say that on some level Jordan and Andre knew, Cate was quasi-involved -- and what did Cate think she was doing exactly? How did Shetty manipulate her exactly? One flashback about how she hugs her after her parents have locked her away for years and says she isn't afraid of her isn't enough for me to believe this entire relationship, that's a start, there should be more -- Marie, you just got here, and you saw how they were going to throw you under the bus to protect the others so why are you yelling about the whole school being a lie? I don't believe their incredulity.
In terms of the finale itself, the messaging was completely muddled and I ended up being like, what are you trying to say? And that's how I watch The Boys but it was exacerbated with Gen V. Because on the one hand, the young Supes yelling about how they're superior to humans and scrawling "Supe Lives Matter" and Sam sort of becoming indoctrinated feels like a commentary on alt right groups and white supremacists but on the other hand, the show also frames Supes as an oppressed community of people who are experimented on and voiceless in government and who are victims of humans and it's like a group lashing out against their oppressors, but they're also killing innocent humans so it's wrong but they were tortured, manipulated and traumatized so it's understandable but oh look commentary on how the cishet white blond people are framed as heroes despite being murderers while the (mostly) poc, genderqueer characters are framed as the villains because America amirite? But Supes deserve a voice too! And instead of it being complex and multi-layered and a show with no easy answers, it just feels like they threw a bunch of different ideas and themes at the wall and blended it all together to make this haphazard mess that leaves me asking, what's the point here?

❤ dealers choice 💙 gundam wing
💔 gundam seed, u cannot say lacus
🏳️‍🌈 fe3h 💀 ace attorney
❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom? every day people are wrong abt char aznable on the internet
💙: Which character is not as hot as everyone else seems to think? heero's design is just simply not that interesting sorry. I don't know if people think he's hot but I'm assuming the people watching gundam wing on toonami in 2000 thought he was at least a little bit hot since they wrote enough fanfiction abt him to make gundam popular in the us. also in-universe he has multiple bad bitches obsessed with him so
💔: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose? you specifically are going to hate this answer but please hear me out, my logic here is that my answer had to be someone who's treated badly enough by the narrative that my frustration with that outweighs how much I like them. so my answer is cagalli, I am setting her free to be in a show where maybe she won't get treated as increasingly incompetent until she's basically written out entirely
🏳️‍🌈: Which character who is commonly headcanoned as queer doesn't seem queer to you? shout out to well-meaning cishet ally ferdinand von aegir, loving and supportive wifeguy to his transfem wife helena von vestra and incredibly earnest wingman to his best rivalfriend edelgard (I do also have queer headcanons for ferdie to be clear, shout out also to bi ferdie and transfem ferdie and repressed gay ferdie who's just really really into homosocially bonding with other man for reasons he can't articulate)
💀: If you had to choose one major character to die, who would you choose? if mia's going to be dead they need to commit to her being dead and actually allow maya the space to grieve instead of dragging her spirit back out every other case to tell phoenix to believe in himself and not adequately dealing with how anyone might actually feel abt that. however if that's too much of a copout then I think characters (especially phoenix & edgeworth) should have to actually deal with the consequences of the fucked up legal system like if you want me to believe that the ~dark age of law is any worse than the other fucked up eras of the law then it needs to have some fucking teeth. what I'm saying is that as much as I like blackquill (genuinely! one of my faves part of aa5! love that guy!) I think it would be interesting if he does get executed in aa5 and everyone has to uh. reckon with that. realizing as I'm typing this that what I want is for blackquill to serve a similar narrative function to genshin asogi but I stand by it

So sorry you have dual illnesses rn and I hope you feel better soon! What's your take on some of the fandom assuming that Emily outed Tara to the team? It seems like everyone except JJ already knew when Emily told her, leading me to think that we didn't see Tara telling the others.
Oh god, I have complained about this endlessly to my partner. YES, I understand that PERHAPS Tara told everyone else and JJ was simply the last to know.... BUT that still doesn't change the fact the viewers literally saw this...(we're going to look at this through a cishet lens because let's be honest, the show is mostly consumed by cishets who wouldn't understand queer nuances here.) 1) Emily sees Tara smiling at a woman and IMMEDEATLY 'clocks it'
Why I hate it: The fucking jokey line of 'Ohhh you two are SO a thing!' is just really annoying to me. CISHETS DO NOT DO THIS???? Like we all fucking laugh about 'they're just gals being pals!' Cishet people go out of their way to explain two women being close to each other, they don't INSTANTLY see two women just SMILING at each other and go 'Oh you're dating!?' "But Kit! It's because Emily is gay!" No. Emily is NOT canonically queer. As far as any of us know, Emily is canonically STRAIGHT, so this in itself was a type of forced-outing. This entire 'coming out' scene with Emily was unnecessary. Why did someone else have to 'clock it'??? Why couldn't they just have Tara say "Hey, Emily...if Rebecca is going to help us out, cards on the table. We're dating." << This makes the coming out part Tara's CHOICE. 2) "Oh we're so going to give you shit about this" - Emily
Why I hate it: It really read as "We're going to give you shit about DATING A WOMAN" and I fucking hateeeee it. They could have EASILY made the line more specific "Can't believe you've been dating and we didn't know!" Like??? Why do they need to make jokes about giving her shit???? Queer people get bullied and teased (and assaulted and murdered) just because they're queer. The whole "haha Tara's coming out is going to be a point of joking in the team!" is such garbage imo. It's really damaging in the implication that her dating a woman should be joked about AT ALL. I know people reading this will say "Oh, but the team always teases each other when they date people!" Sure, they tease STRAIGHT people about it. But the implications of teasing Tara (A BLACK QUEER WOMAN) AT ALL is completely unnecessary. 3) "Did you say...girlfriend?" - JJ
Why I hate it: YES I 100% felt like this was Emily just casually outing Tara. And I really hate how they used that as a 'punchline' moment. All the press releases talked about how JJ/Tara worked as the only two following up on ALL consults for a YEAR. That to me indicates out of any of the team who might have ALREADY know...it would be JJ???? "But Tara probably already told everyone else!" Okay, AGAIN... let's look at this through the lens of the main viewership (cishets).... they aren't going to get that nuance or come to that possibility. They're going to see this scene and be like "LOL this was a funny punchline!" or "Wow, outing people is a fun joke!" No, FUCK THAT. It would NOT have been that hard to INSTEAD, have Tara bring Rebecca into the round table room and preface it with 'This is Rebecca from the DOJ, who is also my girlfriend, but that's unimportant right now...." Personally, I think a lot of (queer) fans are desperately trying to look at Tara's coming out as a 'perfect' scene. But y'all do know that even if you enjoy a piece of media, even if you're hyped that Tara is canonically queer.... YOU CAN STILL REMAIN CRITICAL of how that was played out in canon!!!! I mean the very next episode they have Rebecca and Tara moving in together or the 'u-haul' stereotype. It is ESTABLISHED that Rebecca doesn't HAVE to move back to the city (if she stays with Tara in Virginia) so why not just have that?? Sure it's a commute, but she's going to have a commute either way???? If they had been dating longer than 'a couple of months' and were talking about moving in together, I'd probably be okay with that??? But I really felt like it was YET ANOTHER stereotype being played out and I just....I'm tired, y'all. I'm so tired of seeing most queer media play out in harmful stereotypes. I don't know why it's so impossible to just have queer characters who have regular, healthy, wholesome relationships?? (Probably because MOST showrunners/producers/writers are cishet and don't understand that these relationships exist....but that's a whole other rant post in itself) So, Anon.... I guess to answer your question: Yes, I feel like Emily outed Tara and I'm quite angry at how that's played out. (I haven't watched E3, but as far as I know....Tara never (on-camera) came out to anyone else???) >> [More Thoughts] [About Tara's] [Coming Out] << These are my opinions. You're allowed to have other points of view, but make your own post. Because I'm not here for discourse.

That previous anon was super wrong abt calling you a dyke. But i didn't liked how rude and clown-ish you behaved to them, and back then, when you callout that user, who stood up for people, who headcanon vocaloid Megurine Luka as straight. https://twitter.com/VanillaOwnsChoc/status/1653783154514092032 (I am a lesbian by myself, but see Megurine as a heterosexual too. And that user is a good friend of my mine, and they are aromantic demisexual)
????? bruh i never ""called out"" anyone i literally just made a joke post abt how i thought it was funny that ppl see luka as straight. and if ur referring to the original person who made that post, we talked things out and made peace. hell i even unblocked them bc we came to a peaceful agreement abt everything. i understand if u dont know abt that since it happened in the comment section of a mutuals post, but we DID resolve things peacefully and put the whole thing behind us. if u would like me to provide screenshots i can, just dm me privately as i do not want to get this person involved in months old discourse by now.
and as for the twitter post u linked, i wasnt talking abt the person who made the original post hcing luka as straight, i was talking abt the person who made the ""callout post"" for ME in which they included a screenshot of my post. THAT person, who i shall not name, had "ally" in their bio last time i checked at the time, leading me to believe that they were cishet. if u ARE talking abt them, then im sorry for getting their sexuality wrong, it was an honest mistake on my part. but overall i stand by my stance that it was a ridiculous action on their part to get so mad over a post where i wasnt even ATTACKING anyone, and then proceeding to call me "triggered" bc i made an obvious joke post (that i should have admittedly tagged with a tone indicator, which i have apologized for since).
i am open to more private discussion on this, but i do not appreciate this issue being brought up AGAIN when i and one of the main people involved have already resolved this. if ur still holding a grudge against me bc of this, i hope u find peace and move on, bc this is honestly a really immature response to me being called a fucking slur over SONIC shipping discourse that i wasnt even involved in. i think i have every right to "clown" on ppl who are lesbophobic toward me, thank you very much.

hey! i'm 15, turning 16 january next year. i'd prefer a 15-16 partner but some young 17 year olds are okay!
i am generally new to the rp scene, doing about 2 and a half literate, really long non-starred roleplays with speaking but also 3rd person thought and movement/description elements. just be patient if i don't understand something you mean or i don't get writing 100% right!
but! i am fine with most people. i'd really prefer a girl but any non cishet male (I am sorry I just do not think we'd be very similar if you're a cishet guy usually) i am fine with! i am willing to experiment with roleplays, different subsets and genres, 1st person stuff and some half literate stuff if you'd prefer!
I also love OOC stuff! I love getting to know anyone anyway, so discussing with me what you love to roleplay and what you can really enjoy makes me happy
i usually prefer oc roleplays, but if you give me a basic description of a femme character and some context that you'd like me to include i will :-) i'm fine with any girl babe
oh and by the way i am transgender female and am not okay with playing a male or anything other then someone who presents as a female! sorry lol
my favorite tropes are enemies to lovers, just straight up lovers, fluffy comfy stuff, and also just any queer romantic roleplay like ever
(and in terms of anything with romance or a thing i talk about later, i also Love any RP where you or I can play any mythical creature, that be monsters or aliens or demons or whatever, as long as they look kind of humanoid and aren't like an actual animal or whatever u weirdo)
for triggers, i don't have many aside from things that aren't allowed here in the first place
and this is kinda something i see a lot of rp'ers my age looking for, which i understand. so in short, i am FIne with doing NSFW RP as long as I can get to know you a bit beforehand and maybe do one normal RP beforehand too. in fact, i'm fine participating in any preferences or interests you have in NSFW roleplay as i would prefer anyone i do that with to be comfortable. I believe that as long as 2 people, both minors around the same age, do this in a safe environment with consent and permission that it is okay. but due to some personal issues, i do have boundaries regarding this. i have a slight preference for non-straight stuff with this, i would not like to roleplay a situation which is non consensual or forced, and i would not like to roleplay any situation with any type of violent or intense dominating, at least from any man lol. i think this can be a safe learning experience for people to find comfortability and fun in sexual expression but only if done safely, so please do not ignore what i said here and come to me with any of your own boundaries!
that's it!! i wrote a lot about the nsfw because it's a tough subject but by all means i'm fine with any rp! sorry for the essay, i type a lot haha
like and i'll msg u <33

I have sort of mixed feelings on the whole “brony” thing bc I was deep in the paint of all that (pre-egg-crack tho so a slightly different perspective) from 2012-2016 ish)
I think it’s extremely important to note I don’t like the term or the origins of it all now, and if I met someone today who still used the label I’d keep a close eye on them bc many who do are in the 4chan bigot crowd.
However, It is interesting to dissect my experience a bit with this weirdness though.
But even way back then when I’d get defensive of “fellow bronies” 😒 I had to always admit that many sucked ass.
Since it had origins in 4chan lots of ppl who were in it were just absolute bigots and the worst ppl you can meet. I knew that in 2012 and I know it even better now.
The high defensiveness of their masculinity bc of enjoyment of a little girl demographic show lead to a lot of the worst behavior I’ve ever seen in a fan space. I think this also explains the abnormal hyper sexuality they inserted into the space.
Sure, R34 is a thing and I honestly really don’t care what ppl are making/into as long as it’s tagged properly away from kids/ppl who don’t wanna see it. It’s usually drawings/fics/ect made by a guy with max ten to fifty followers, who give a shit. Pointing it out gives more attention to it and makes more of it appear in my experience.
But the sheer volumes made and extreme lack of self awareness or in some cases just irrational vitriol about properly tagging nsfw shit…well there’s a reason the sane members scrambled to do Safe Search Roundups once a month to eliminate as much fetish/nsfw content as they could from Google safe search.
My mixed part of the feelings is that me and many others involved in all that became leftists and realized we were queer.
Bc having an online community where the common theme is “I am not being a Man in the correct way and it makes me very cool” is atttactive to ppl who are either “men” (nope!) or ppl who secretly/unknowingly want to be men but not like the cishet assholes in their lives, or just ppl who felt weird about cishet gender and sexuality in general.
(if you asked 2013 me if I was trans, I would have 100% believed when I told u I was a cisgender girl if I even knew that term then. Likely not lol.)
And I had a lot of great experiences with ppl in the community too. It legitimately helped me get out of the culty evangelical mindset I had been born and brainwashed into.
I even had a group I met with irl in college and no one there was more weird than me as ppl going to a private conservative Christian school afaik.
(One guy went on to go somewhat viral for making a really convincing Rayman smash leak years ago lol.)
Anyways, I just wish it hadn’t been through something that started on 4chan and was called “brony” (inherently alienating and sexist bc the idea is to pull away from the feminine while also co-opting it) and had a lot of pure bastard folks at the Peak of it (late season 1 through season 3).
I don’t even mean the nsfw stuff (though again that was abnormally rampant) since that exists for everything- I mean just honest to god so many bronies were just fucking bigoted assholes who considered it their god given right to post untagged porn and say racist shit and be sexist as hell.
However imo “brony” really became a huge misnomer after the Princessification of Twilight. A huge chunk of the original 4chan weirdo crowd fucked off, and even more after Equestria Girls, and it kept bleeding after that as more sane, queer and chill fans became more active.
This allowed the sane, queer, and chill fans to thrive in a smaller community with less scrutiny on them from outside and fewer loud assholes flaming their flutterdash fics.
It really was just “mlp fans” by season 6 or 7 but the original name was stuck for a while after that sadly.
At this point, those remaining mostly recognized the show for what it was-a well made show about tiny horses made to sell plastic horses to kids, especially little girls, and engaged with it that way.
It was actually fairly fun especially by 2016. I lost interest in late 2017 but the fond memories I have are mostly that era.
I’m so glad that the brony label is dead and mlp is back in the hands of sane, chill, and queer creators and fans.
