& it's like the thing is gideon IS terrible butch stereotype #1 like she's the service butch jock who puts everyone b4 herself to an insane extent, covers up all her emotions w jokes, has this deep seated shame she cant talk to anyone about & inside is the saddest loneliest girl in the world who is literally nothing if she is not servicing another woman. & on the one hand im not sure if i feel totally comfortable with this- even tho it's obvious from kiriona that it's definitely an intentional critique, i wonder if giving this character to a butch was intentional as well or just stereotyping- but on the other hand. that's literally me she's sooo me i can't be mad that the butch is like this hwen i am the butch who's like that.

#tamsyn is too smart & intentional for her not to have thought about choosing to make a butch this way. right?#i feel like it hasn't really.. the connection btwn her being butch & her being Like That hasn't been explored that much #in text perhaps bc that's just not a thing #but fandom has largely ignored it too #so that bit of doubt of like is this A Message or is this just a bad stereotype kinda stings #but it's a true stereotype. like. i dont think me & every butch out there are just obsessed w her bc she's cool as hell. it's bc she's #<3 butch blue tm <3 #like what really solidifies her as butch as opposed to idk camilla or anyone else besides word of god is that she's so fucking sad in this #very specific butch way yk #n e ways i overidentify w her in an unhealthy way!!#the locked tomb #gideon nav #butch #op
