#maybe it’s cuz my comphet was not like that

[drpoisonoaky]

i’m finishing a tyzula fic that has taken me ages to finish, not sure why

summary: ty lee comphet + mean ty lee

edit:

here it is!

[fallingtheseus]

hey what would god say if he saw me projecting comphet onto fictional characters asking for a friend

[season-of-the-squirrels]

i love my roommate and his gf but sometimes they’re so sickeningly sweet it kind of makes me want to die. like this morning i walk into the kitchen and he’s making eggs and then he brings two plates of these beautifully seasoned fluffy scrambled eggs into his room and gently nudges the door open and i’m like damn i’m gonna die alone aren’t i

[marihem]

Let me be the one to ask. How did you come up with this Queerplatonic Frans concept? What drew you into making this?

Aww thank you for asking such a delicious question, pal! Hope you're ready to listen to my 1 am rambles XD

Alright so, to be completely honest...I actually don't truly know how Romance works to execute it myself 😬

Haha yup, sadly, the concept of Romance and Romantic Attraction didn't naturally come to me my whole life and I had a hard time understanding them. (Skill issue, amiright?) So I learned about them through fiction. And even then, my understanding of Romance was a little bit different from what it's usually is (spoiler: it wasn't actually Romance, the word I needed was "Queerplatonic").

I've drawn ship arts before I started drawing Frans and let me tell you, almost all of them were 2 characters just standing next to each other, no hugs, no kisses. Maybe they'll look at each other with fondness. And I was like "hell yeah, I've achieved Romance 😌" pfft.

My 2020 Frans works were where my ship art skills got improved. But you can still see that they aren't explicitly romantic (like, the first time I drew a Frans forehead kiss was for a request). Whatever, I was drawing stuffs about my fav lil guys and I was happy... and yet a tiny part of me wasn't feeling it, like it felt...odd to call them romantic. All these shippy art and I still felt uncomfortable to draw something extremely Romantic. (...this kinda sounds similar to a comphet kind of situation, you get what I'm saying?)

2 years later, I learned about the term "queerplatonic" and just like that, everything made sense =o Now THAT'S the kind of relationship I've been thinking about all these years and it felt magical. Suddenly, with this new knowledge, drawing shippy art felt more comfortable for me, cozy even. Cuz now, the "romance" I'm making is like something a little special for me.

And then I thought "what if I...👀" I grabbed Frisk and Sans like figurines and used them to make my own little ideas of a queerplatonic relationship as they were the perfect materials to work with for me.

I've actually been busying myself with thinking up ideas for them a year before I revealed it to my mutuals, even long before I revealed it publicly 😅

Still, my Roommate Banter AU Frans is still classic romantic. I've only been making funny lil contents of them but I swear! They're secretly crushing on each other, there's romance underneath! I just suck at Romance 😭

So yeah, TL:DR, I don't completely understand romance so I did what I felt comfortable and did actually get the most, approach a ship with a queerplatonic lens.

Tho I'm still learning about Romance cuz there're other ships I'd love to draw shippy art for XD

Anyways, yeah thank you to anyone who read all of this and thank you dear anon for indulging me with your ask <3 Have a lovely day/night ^^

List of hot takes ig just cuz

Gwent was boring because Trent had no personality in TDI. I like to say that he got “female character-ed” meaning the only role he serves in the plot was to be Gwen’s love interest. When he did stuff in TDI, it was do stuff with Gwen or talk to other people regarding Gwen (with very few exceptions), otherwise he either was killed by a box of oranges or fell out of a plane.

… I think both Harold and Leshawna are straight.

The Courtney derailment started in the Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island special

Maybe Trent should kiss Duncan on the lips in TDA. Maybe he’s not jealous of him, maybe he’s just confused.

Justin may have been funny, but he was not a good villain in TDA. Heck, I didn’t even realize he was the villain in the first half. I know he confronted Gwen about the Trent stuff, but he was very much justified in doing so??

If you hate Owen because he’s “just a fart machine,” get out. Owen is a really fun and good character with a personality beyond fart jokes. Did we watch the same show?

Aletyler > Alenoah

I actually like the love triangle plot in TDWT. It’s fun drama, and I am giggle and kicking my feet in the scene leading up to the Gwuncan kiss. It also is way more fun to read it as Courtney being lesbian crushing hard on Gwen, then comphet-ing hard with Alejandro.

Cody literally didn’t do anything in TDWT until the Drumheller episode.

Zoey isn’t boring in roti; she just wasn’t given enough time to develop.

Lighting was and should not have been a villain in ROTI. After Jo was voted out, they gave him a bunch of evil traits for no reason. And I think he was completely justified in being upset at Cameron because Cam used him…

Follow up point, Cam did way more devious things that Lightning, but he’s not seen has a villain because he’s a short little dork. Let Cameron be mean!

Samkota is really cute and one of the best canon ships <3

Gwen and Courtney were lowkey annoying in TDAS. Together, separate, whatever: they were annoying me.

Scottney is so damn stupid, but so fun to watch.

TDPI is actually really fun. People just want to shit on something.

[madnesswithmadhu]

chat the madagascar/ahkj hyperfix is coming back so here are MY HOT, ULTIMATE TAKES🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (also I might remember things wrong so pls correct me if I do!!)

AS MUCH AS LITTLE ME LOVED THE 3RD MADAGASCAR MOVIE, I JUST HATE IT LORE WISE. LIKE CHANEL DUBOIS WAS ICONIC THO BUT THEY COULDVE MADE HER LIKE A POACHER AND LET THEM STAY IN THE WILD LIKE... WHY DID THE CIRCUS HAVE TO BE BROUGHT IN??? AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE WHOLE LOVE INTEREST THING (THAT CHEETAH GIRL, FORGOR HER NAME SORRY, AND THAT BEAR WHO'S NAME WAS SONYA I THINK IDK THATS HOW UNREMEMARBLE THEY WERE TO ME) LIKE IN MY OPINION THAT CHEETAH GIRL WAS JUST THERE FOR ALEX BC "OOOH LOVE INTEREST" WHICH SUCKS TBH BC SHE COULDVE BEEN COOL, BUT THEY KINDA DID WITH HER WHAT THEY DID WITH CLOVER AT THE END OF AHKJ, PURELY EXISTING FOR MALE CHARACTERS.

SPEAKING OF RHE 3RD MOVIE (I HAVE IMMENSE BEEF WITH IT SORRY) WTF WAS THAT SCENE WHERE MAURICE SMILED WHEN RHEY ALL THOUGHT JULIEN DIED??? LIKE HUH?...WHAT ABOUT TRUE BROMANCE?... I, MAURICE??? LIKE HUH. AND IT WASNT EVEN ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHERE ITS LIKE THEY SMILE FIRST FROM SHOCK AND THEN FREAK OUT BC THE CREATOR **CONFIRMED** IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT MAURICE WAS HAPPY HE DIED LIKE NO???? THOSE TWO ARE LIKE AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE WHO BICKER BUT STILL LOVE EACHOTHER AND ARE JUST GRUMPY MOST OF THE TIME

I WISH WE COULDVE GOTTEN A MOVIE THAT FOCUSED ON THE LEMURS/MAYBE ANOTHER SERIES THATS ABOUT THE LEMUR TRIO RETURNING TO MADAGASCAR AND TRYING TO FIX EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG WHEN THEY WERE GONE, OR THEY COULD ACTUALLY EXPAND MORE ON THE WHOLE TRAVELLING CIRCUS IDEA WHICH COULD MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING

ALSO CLOVER IS A LESBIAN. SORRY NOT SORRY LIKE THE LEMUR TRIO LITERALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA MARRY A WOMAN, AND FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT, LIKE SHE DOESNT LIKE SAGE, SHE LIKES THE IDEA OF HIM BC SHE LOOKS LIKE THE GUY FROM HER NOVELS!!!!!! (Need someone to draw the lemur trio+maybe like Ted or whatever going to the mountain lemur kingdom and playing "good luck, babe!" From Chappel Roan to try and knock her out of the comphet. OR ILL DRAW IT MYSELF IDK)

WHY ARE WE OVERLOOKING MAURICE'S LORE?... LIKE SURE MORT'S LORE IS CWAZY BUT MAURICE IS LITERALLY LIKE A GOD TO A BUNCH OF SNAILS???? LIKE NO ONE HAS DEEPENED INTO THAT LORE AND IT MAKES ME SAD LOWKEY, NOT ONLY CUZ HES MY FAV AND HE IS TERIBBLY UNDERRATED SINCE PPL WANNA FOCUS ON KJ AND MORT MORE, BUT HE GENUINELY HAS LORE THAT IS SO INSANE, LIKE HE LOST BOTH HIS BIO PARENTS AND HIS ADOPTIVE PARENTS DUE TO FOOSSA'S; HE GOT BULLIED AS A KID; HE IS A IMMENSE PPL'S PLEASER; ETC ETC. LIKE HE'S SO COOL IM NOT BEING BIASED CUZ HES MY FAVE PLS

OVERALL: DREAMWORKS STOP MAKING FEMALE CHARACTERS ONLY EXIST FOR MALE ONES AND MAKE GOOD SEQUELS/PREQUELS THAT DONT CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER

THE MFS WHO MADE RHAT JULIEN ASSASIN JOKE IS DEAD TO ME TBH

PLS MAKE ANOTHER MADAGASCAR MEDIA SO THE FANDOM REVIVES

#SAVECLOVERFROMHERCOMPHET

PLS STOP IGNORING MAURICE, HE IS SILLY IN HIS OWN WAYS AND DOESNT HAVE TO HAVE A WEIRD KINK AROUND ANOTHER CHARACTER TO BE POPULAR, BC HE IS JUST AS OVER-THE-TOP AS THE OTHER CHARACTERS JUST IN HIS OWN WAY PLS😞😞

[inkameswetrust]

hi benji! what are two songs that remind you of kames and why? :)

IM ACTUALLY SO GLAD YOU ASKED OMG I LITERALLY HAVE A WHOLE PLAYLIST OF SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF KAMES HEHEHEHEHE

but lemme break it down to probably the two most integral songs that i associate with kames!

the first song is definitely parallel by heffron drive. i feel that's a song that could be sung from either james' or kendall's pov and it holds a lot of sentimental value for me being that it's the name of my first ever kames fanfic! there's a specific line that makes me think about the relationships they've pursued in the big time rush series and how bizarre and nonsensical they've been. it seems their relationships with other girls have caused more harm than good but yk plot armor and poor writing paired them with lucy and jo indefinitely. it's the line "do we light up our hearts just to watch them burn?" that line really speaks to me and makes me think that maybe they're not giving up on these girls because they don't want to come to terms with the fact that their feelings are changing. they don't want to be alone, little did they know the person for them was a lot closer than they thought. i don't think any other characters in the show know each other better or care for each other more than kendall and james, so parallel is easily my #1!

the second song is pink by waterparks. i remember when my friend @powerfule got me to listen to it for the first time and i instantly felt a connection. it was giving a "pining for a comphet guy" kinda scenario cuz from a surface level pov i think anyone would assume james was straight due to how effortlessly he charms the pants off of most girls he meets. kendall would especially believe that his feelings are exclusively one-sided based on the line "it's not fun when i find out you're playing for the other team". this song in particular solidifies (at least in my mind) that james is "one of his favorite few" and as such is looked upon in a certain light. this song is a little more angsty in comparison parallel, but i think that's why i like comparing waterparks songs to the kames dynamic. their relationship is not all sunshine and rainbows. there is a stark contrast between how kendall and james express their love. despite his avoidant attachment style, kendall wears his heart on his sleeve. i'm certain he craves commitment and stability despite being afraid of it. james however goes from one fling to the next and doesn't feel the need to plant any roots. he doesn't need constant reassurance or stability except for when it comes to kendall. his direct wants and desires are usually targeted or communicated to kendall as seen in episodes like big time audition or big time tests.

tysm for asking this btw! i really enjoyed breaking this down and it kinda inspired me to write a blog abt my kames playlist so hopefully that's smth i do in the future :)

[sevensoulmates]

is JCC the buddie writer?

JCC is Juan Carlos Coto, he's been a writer for most of the show's run (season 2 onward). You can check here to see the episodes he's worked on so far: https://www.tumblr.com/911bts/743248556205408256/7x02-and-7x03-were-written-and-directed-by-the?source=share

You'll see that most of these episodes have a buddie moment or are heavily centered on Buck and/or Eddie. He's not the ONLY buddie writer, but he has been responsible for a lot of them, along with Lyndsey Beaulieu, Andrew Meyers, Taylor Wong, and, of course, Tim Minear. (You can find lists of all their previous episodes on @911bts).

We also have prominent "buddie" directors coming back as well, including John J. Gray (who wrote 2x04 Stuck and directed 6x12 Recovery ((ie. Buck falls asleep on Eddie's couch)), Brenna Malloy (who directed 4x13 Suspicion aka the gayest shooting scene on the planet), and Bradley Buecker (who directed 3x02 Sink or Swim aka Buck&Chris in the tsunami, 5x02 Desperate Times aka Eddie's comphet panic attacks, and 6x10 In A Flash aka Eddie pulling Buck UP after the lightning strike and "DO MORE!").

I was telling Zee yesterday the only time Juan Carlos Coto wrote an episode that I was less than thrilled with (at least when it comes to Buck and Eddie) is 6x17 Love is in the Air. But upon rewatching several times, I changed my opinion. Love is in the Air was interesting because it put both Buck and Eddie with Random Love Interests but also at the same time very much slapped the label of "THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT ONE FOR THEM" on it. So I'mma give him the benefit of the doubt because he had to adhere to what KR & Fox wanted and it really seemed like he did his best to adhere by what his bosses wanted while still putting several fail-safes in both Bucktalia and Eddiemarisol. He gave us all the red flags with Natalia, and also very clearly spelled out that Eddie wants to date Marisol for the wrong reasons (trying to recreate his last toxic marriage with Shannon, dating her just cuz she's there, and still feeling pressured to date in general). Man said I can't save this trainwreck of an almost-series finale, but the least I can do is give these characters fail-safes so the fans know these aren't their endgames even though it might SEEM like it.

Now, back under Tim, and with (hopefully) the green light from ABC, I'm thinking the writers/directors for season 7 can go absolutely apeshit on the buddie scenes. Maybe even sprinkle in a lil canon buddie just as a treat because we've all been such patient baby birds waiting for mama bird's backwash, ya know?

WLW media plans <3 early 2023 edition

You may have seen my first edition of this post; now that 2023 has begun in earnest, let’s see where I’m at!

Media I’m currently in the middle of consuming:

The 100 (I know that I said that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch this show cuz I’m tired of tragic wlw, but a friend suggested we watch it together, so here I am)

Clear and Muddy Loss of Love (an AMAZING web-novel!!! I can’t stop reading it! Clear and Muddy Loss of Love, original title 泾渭情殇 (Jīng wèi qíng shāng or JWQS), is a Chinese GL web-novel by Please Don’t Laugh (请君莫笑). Read and buy the original here (here’s a guide on how to use JJWXC so you can support the author), and the English translation by melts (@meltesh28 on Tumblr / @meltsmelts on Twitter) can be found here (thank you so much for your hard work, melts!))

Nevertheless (solely for the crumbs of Sol/Ji-wan content, and you know what? It’s been worth it, even if the main male lead, Park Jae-eon, makes me want to throw my laptop across the room. Seriously, JAE-EON SUCKS SO BAD. NA-BI, WHAT ARE YOU DOIIIING. DO-HYEOK IS RIGHT. THERE!!!)

Warrior Nun (I started watching this show both because it has wlw AND because Alba Baptista is so gorgeous that I can’t stop looking at her. So disappointing that it was canceled recently :()

Media I plan to start (or continue) consuming:

A League of Their Own (for the canon wlw AND all the wlw vibes)

Arcane: League of Legends (I’ve seen enough gifs and fanart for Caitlyn/Vi that I ship it and haven’t even watched the show yet)

Batwoman (for the canon wlw AND all the wlw vibes)

Black Lightning (ditto)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS was available on Amazon Prime for a while but is now on Hulu, so I don’t have access to it at the moment)

The Expanse (I’m taking a break from watching the show to read the books, but I’m also consuming a lot of other media at the moment, so I don’t know when I’ll get back to it)

The Half of It (the premise sounds so freaking relatable I can’t wait to feel some type of way about the constant sapphic pining I experienced in high school & didn’t even know about at the time because of comphet yay)

The Handmaiden (I’ve been trying to get into more international media lately, as you can see by some of the other pieces of media in this post, and this movie looks too good to pass up)

Killing Eve (up to the finale but stopping before the end cuz my queer little heart can’t take YET MORE bury your gays in the year of our lord 2023. also the book series. maybe)

The Legend of Korra (once I finish ATLA)

The Owl House (currently waiting for the next episode. Also, I’m still so mad this show was canceled by Disney >:()

Paper Girls (science fiction combined with middle-grade fiction and queer characters? Sign me up!)

Sense8 (for the queer vibes in general)

The Wilds (for the canon wlw AND all the wlw vibes)

Yellowjackets (ditto)

Media I might consume but haven’t decided yet:

Huge shout-out to @femslashrevolution (abbreviated as F.R. in this post from now on) for introducing me to a lot of these pieces of media with active-ish wlw fandoms through their reblogs!

Astrid & Lilly Save the World (I don’t know much about it, but the gifs reblogged by F.R. look promising)

Harlem (I’ve heard mixed reviews about the wlw representation in this show, but there’s also a distinct lack of black queer shows out there, so I’m considering trying it out anyway)

House of the Dragon (partially because I haven’t finished GOT yet, but also because I don’t want my heart to be broken by the tragedy)

I Know What You Did Last Summer (this show doesn’t have the best reviews, but the actresses in it are so pretty that I might watch it anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Kevin Can F*** Himself (seems like an interesting premise, I just don’t know if I’ll personally enjoy the show itself or not)

Legends of Tomorrow (Idk what it’s even about tbh, I’ve just seen a lot of wlw-centric and wlw-adjacent gifs reblogged by F.R.)

Lost Girl (it's included on a lot of rec lists of wlw shows, I just don’t know if I’ll actually find it interesting)

Once Upon A Time (a classic wlw fandom, but Idk if I’ll find it interesting enough to actually watch it)

Orange is the New Black (ditto)

Orphan Black (ditto)

Runaways (ditto)

Supergirl (ditto)

Willow (Idk what it’s even about tbh, I’ve just seen some cute wlw gifs reblogged by F.R. recently, so why not?)

Media I've already finished consuming:

Couple of Mirrors (SO GOOD!!! A (sadly heavily censored, but still very well-done) GL-based Chinese drama that is slated to get a second season depending on the support, so please go watch and support it! It also has a manhua (read the original here and the English summaries here))

First Kill (campy with pretty horrid music choices, but I still enjoyed the watching experience even though the show was kinda bad. Who doesn’t like a little bit of camp every now and again?)

Girlfriend Project Day 1 (cute, short little fake dating GL K-drama that is slated to get a second season if they can raise the funds for it! Watch it here)

More than or Equal to 75 Celsius (≥75°C) (short GL K-drama, very aesthetic, and the actresses are beautiful! Watch it here)

Zero Photography (short spin-off GL Thai drama that features Ink & Pa from the bigger BL series Bad Buddy. Definitely worth the watch!)

Have I missed any must-watch/must-read/must-consume pieces of wlw or wlw-adjacent media that y’all love? Please let me know in the reblogs and give me your recommendations!

[niningtori]

ok u know what EYE think is better than angsty beomgyu…. similar to pathetic beomgyu but the mc is emotionally unavailable 🙂‍↕️ like pure zen. she does not care about things that don’t concern her like she’s just cool~ it’s angst but bc of the mc 🙂‍↕️ i love that trope bad bc it’s kinda me sometimes 🙈

i’ve stopped being desperate over men for a few yrs now hahahah… (not really but yes really) and i believe if i was fully content with my life, i wouldn’t bat an eye at anyone unless i know they r willing to just follow me bc they love me!!! that’s been my thing for dating lately… like don’t hold me to expectations cuz i will do what i want pls.. if u wanna be with me knowing i might pick up my life and do something else then so be it! like a puppy hahahah .. (i haven’t had a therapy session in a few weeks im sry she’s on vacation til next week) anygays (im queer) im so excited for everything girl the previews r tew good 🐰

i’m sorry i just woke up this is a mess

OMGGGG i love that trope too but i love it when she's like that bc she's been traumatized so much she jus doesn't care anymore... like that's rlly me NWNANSj it'll take a lot for me to truly give a fuck about a man i actually know irl. shoutout to my fellow emotionally unavailable babies 🫡

i think that's a great way to look at things tbh but maybe i'm just an enabler. but my reasoning is that i personally think that women compromise themselves too much for men and ik i've done that in the past by dating men who r uglier than me n treat me like shit... sooooo that's not happening ever again. ik ppl say this to the point where it's overexposed but we r like black cats we jus need our golden retriever partners

ANYGAYSBWHANSJS i'm laughing i'm queer too i think comphet jus kicks my ass sometimes but i really am only attracted to like 12 men on this planet sooo take from that what u will

also omg my therapist is going on leave for like a month i'm gonna be so lost w/o her... sigh...

and thank u for the compliments 🥹❤️ ur opinion means the world to me MWAH

[redheadbigshoes]

as far as I know, I identify as a bisexual

but lately I've been questioning myself if I like boys or girls only

and it should be simples, 'cuz I've been wanting to kiss this one boy for days now and I do love girls so yeah, bisexual, right?

idk. sometimes I wonder it bc it seems I have a dislike for man. I have this repulsion with boys and I am way more uncertain about what they're gonna do with me than with girls

and surprisingly sometimes I even wonder if I'm attracted to girls, 'cuz like, I have this neutral likes or sometimes "yeah, she's pretty!" with them or even just not liking that much

but I still feel more comfortable in being attracted to a girl than a boy, even tho I want him. another exemple was, years ago, I quickly said that I do not like man and she said "what about woman?" and I paused, noticing that it was gonna be a yes and I felt pretty shy

and for a long time growing up, I didn't wanted to be called a lesbian or give the impression that I liked girls only (that got better tho)

but the boys I did kissed, oh man I sure wanna do it again! it was great! I liked them and I sure has a great time with them!

it's just theses things that I wonder. am I a lesbian with a weird comphet or just a bisexual with a trauma for man?

Understanding sexuality should be simple, but it isn’t.

Sometimes my advice for people trying to figure out if they’re attracted to men or not is comparing what they feel towards women and what they feel towards men. At least when I did that I realized whatever I felt for men seemed to fake and forced comparing with my feelings towards women that seemed more real and natural.

Here’s a link that has a bunch of videos about comphet and other lesbian experiences, maybe it could help you if you take a look.

[sc3n3kitt3h]

🌙 for any of ur ocs tbh

SO excited 2 get an oc ask im just gonna do em all. hehe. whos gonna stawp me..... >:) <-evil and dark and twisted

tekz: 2 go out with her loser emo comphet crush (his name is ashton because it can be shortened 2 ash and thats a kewl + emo af name)- apparently she won't go very far because shes too shy 2 even talk 2 him that much ^^"!!!

glowstix: glowstix is just me! umm idk what my greatest wish is!!! im very content all things considered!!! maybe i'd like 2 have a crush on someone someday cuz ive never had one. just 2 see what its like. only 4 like a day though!!!! cuz romance is YUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

yogurt: 2 have fun and stay silly :) she will go a reasonable amount of far 2 achieve this

silly: hmm eye dee kay.......... the machinations of her twisted mind r unknown even 2 me....!!!!!

funny: 2 build a working computer or something crazy like that in minecraft with redstone. hes a very simple guy :P or i guess a very simple puppy cuz hes a dog

[scipiosmith]

I wont lie. Its kinda a bummer to get as far into sapr as I have (volume 2 chapter 13) only to recently learn you're a rwde poster and seemingly think comphet is cool and fine based on how blacksun is in here. And maybe that will change later, and I will gladly apologize for being wrong in that count, if something happens where they realize they're not good for each other. Cuz despite my better judgement I will keep reading because I am unfortunately invested and in it for the long haul, unless some especially egregious opinions are expressed through the text.

You have a good writing style. And I do admire your commitment writing (and then re writing) so god damn much for this story. You're ability to integrate the MLP characters and what I assume is side lore into the story is very well done that sometimes I cant tell who is an OC, an mlp character( unless I already know of them) and who is from the comics I havent read.

But like. Idk. It's just kinda disappointing? That a talented writer and someone I thought was alright generally, turned out to be a little bit shitty.

But then that's the nature of people. To disagree on some fundamental things are natural.

I suppose I should thank you for not going the whole hog and calling me a homophobe, but on the comphet thing... I appreciate that this is the only work of mine that you've read. I appreciate that this fic has BlackSun in it, and I appreciate that at the point in the story that you are up to there aren't any queer ships.

But I have written a book with a lesbian lead whose girlfriend walks into the underworld to rescue her from the Furies.

I have written SunLight fic.

And eventually, and already in the un-rewritten version of this story, Sunset is going to get/has gotten together with Cinder:

So I would appreciate it if you didn't label me like that just because one story has a ship that you don't like or doesn't have the queer ship you wanted.

On the topic of RWDE then, yes, I am more guilty in that regard, although I wouldn't call myself a poster so much as a reblogger.

I suppose I can appreciate why that might bother you, but on the other hand if I wasn't RWDE inclined then this story wouldn't exist. If I didn't hate the death of Pyrrha then this story would not exist; the whole reason I started writing this story that has become as long as Jormungandr and has as many legs as a centipede is because I couldn't find any stories that didn't kill Pyrrha off at the end of Volume 3 and so I decided that I would have to write one myself.

For better or worse, this is a story that has its genesis in my dissatisfactions with the show; obviously you hadn't noticed it up until now and hopefully you won't notice it in the text subsequently to this, however... if you're expecting at some point the scales to fall from Rainbow Dash's eyes (or Blake's, for that matter) and for her to realise that General Ironwood is and always was a thoroughly despicable villain then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

[real-total-drama-takes]

I headcanon both Heather and Courtney as lesbians, but in two different ways

Courtney: has some deeeep comphet. I think she grew up with the heteronormative idea of a perfect life: like getting a husband and starting a family with him... but she never really felt attraction towards men. She realizes that she doesn't want it, she's a career woman and cat/plant mom and later comes to terms with the fact that she's a lesbian (and lives her happy yuri life 💞 )

also!: a lot of people use the fact that she tried to change literally every aspect about duncan to explain that she's a lesbian (similar to caitlin from 6teen who'd break up with her bfs for the littlest reasons)..

Heather: imo she knows that she's a lesbian and she came to terms with that (not comphet, not out and proud but a secret third thing).. I think Heather doesn't know how to treat people she likes that's why she's so mean to basically all the girls.. she doesn't want any of the girls to get too close to her cuz she might develop feelings.. she pushes them away by being mean. I mean..she had to deal all her life being basically hated by her family and with bullying too (I think?), she tried everything to get everyone's approval.. i think it's just natural that she doesn't know what to do. I personally like to think that she liked Lindsay in island.. I mean... she threw a boat at Tyler in dodgebrawl... (like yeah they played it off as "he's on a different team you can't date him!" but let's be fr..).. also maybe that whole ordeal in Lindsay's elim episode was to give Lindsay a final push because Heather caught feelings..

Btw!: Heather was based off Regina George and Heather Chandler who are literally lesbian icons in their respective fandoms.

Also Heather should've had a victory kiss with all the girls at the end of world tour.

This is btw I no way hate towards any of their f/m ships I enjoy most of them myself.. also no hate if you have different headcanons for them.. it's just my silly little headcanons 💞

.

[td-brick]

do you have LGBTQ+ headcanons that you're particularly attached to? If so, which ones for which characters?

YES so many LOLLL under the cut cuz I rambled a bit. Also I'm afraid all of them are lesbian headcanons because I am + I really like analyzing stuff from that perspective. also sorry if any of these aren't very eloquent i'm not good at putting my thoughts into words but I hope this answers your question well enough!

And there's a couple more but these are like. the big ones i guess. or the ones I think about most often

Brick: Yeah obviously i was gonna say this. i usually headcanon characters as butch lesbians anyways but my friend headcanons her as a trans girl and i adopted that too and in my perspective its an interesting read on her character... it just means a lot to me i guess. i talked about this more in depth already (here and here) but idk if those held up/are still good. so you judge that for yourself but i guess it gives more perspective on that specifically

Courtney: She's so lesbian to me... i don't really know how to word this properly but like. her comphet goes crazy... it's like she's so nitpicky about how her boyfriends/male love interests act and behave that to an extent it seems like she doesnt even want a boyfriend. she's just performing heterosexuality by trying to make every guy that likes her into her idea of a "perfect man" but its not because she's attracted to a specific type of man, its bc she wants to be seen as the perfect girl and in her mind that's a straight woman (so internalized homophobia + comphet). like notice how she has a very specific idea of a guy in mind that she's supposedly into and wants to change duncan/scott/whoever else into but shes never actually into a guy like that. its only people who she would have to mold into being like that bc imo that's the only way she would be able to stomach being in a long term relationship with a man without feeling Wrong about it i guess

Jo: Admittedly her being a lesbian to me is mostly based off appearances, and I wouldn't call her good rep of butch/gnc women by any means, but she is to me. like you'd have a hard time convincing me of anything else. she's literally just a butch lesbian. Apparently people think this is stereotypical or something and yeah maybe but just bc it is doesn't mean butches will stop existing and i think it's nice we can find comfort/happiness in seeing masculine women in stuff we like as butches (despite how poorly the show treats them for being masculine)

Heather: She straight up just doesn't show interest in men canonically (except alejandro, who I see as a woman anyways) except when she's using it for strategic purposes/her own personal gain. I also think a lot of her disdain for romance from her teammates is not just bc she's unhappy and hateful but also because she's personally not interested in romance like they are (aka m/f romance). Also semi-related I've seen people say she was mean to lindsay/leshawna because she liked them and i personally hate that rhetoric, lesbian or not 😭 especially since a lot of her actions towards leshawna were racist and not just plain old mean. I do like heathsay though (<- I also like pinkberry (bmc) and I think they have a similar dynamic which is a discussion for a whole other post. but i thought yall should know)

Alejandro: I just think she's more interesting/her gimmick is more fun as a woman. She's a character I like already but its really just more fun to me to imagine her as a lesbian. And I headcanoned her as such already but one of my friends hcs her as an intersex woman and I thought that was really interesting so I just adopted that as well lol

Harold: trans girl + lesbian.. again this was initially adopted from a friend but I think it makes a lot of sense. Sorry for not elaborating on this one as much i do have thoughts on it but I don't really know how to phrase them right now? maybe ill elaborate another time idk I've written about it before but I don't think it's up to snuff enough to post on here (yet)

warning: processing personal feelings, sexual abuse

i got manipulated into dating a man and it fucking... ugh. idk. i've had bad relationships before, i've been abused by partners before, but there's something different about laying down my boundaries as a lesbian, being pushed across them, then being hurt in that context. it's fucked me up really bad and i don't know how to talk about it. i've ended up kinda sex-repulsed, but specifically repulsed of the idea of being seen as attractive. which i also, like, want. but the idea that people will see me as attractive & find that an opportunity to talk over me, manipulate me, & sa me. & like part of the thing was an environment being like, you shouldn't be too strict with your boundaries, you should be "open" and that means being sexual w people you wouldn't choose being sexual with. idk, there's soemthing very complex abt how comphet functions in trans queer irl spaces & how that pushed me into a bad situation & made it hard for me to get out. & now im just stuck w this trauma & this panic. i've got bad postire but every time i try to correct it i have an anxiety attack cuz i look too sexy in the mirror & it reminds me of like stripping & how men looked at me / interacted with me & like reminds me of how i felt with my boyfriend. he's not even the worst guy, ive known plenty worse, but i wasnt supposed to be dating guys at all, i already made that call, & then that boundary was just pushed until it broke. & i was tricked into sex i explicitly didnt want to have. idk im just talking in circles. i need to find soem way to process this trauma out. art to make or a story to write or something. there's no real mystery to it, it was just translesbophobia and a fucked up dude who lied a lot. but it fucked me up a lot, and its made me really sensitive to transmisogyny in ways i dont wanna be, given how omnipresent transmisogyny is. idk. i could talk abt rape, manipulation, financial exploitation, misogynist violence, etc, but its all just stuff we've heard a million times, it's the stuff men do. maybe i thought i was too smart, too feminist, too lesbian to fall for it. what i keep thinking about is when i was in the relationship & kept telling everyone how happy i was. "things are so good" "isnt it so funny im dating a man and its great? haha" "yeah things are actually really wonderful" i was already suffering a lot. why did i go along with it? i feel like i just didnt want it to be true. i wanted to believe that things were different. facing the truth just felt so fucking nihilistic. & because of that, it just kept getting worse.

its over now, im safe, and i'll get over it one day. i just didnt want it to be like this. i convinced myself to be "open", to take risks, to be vulnerable with new people. i liked being that person. but that person got sexually abused, a lot, by many different people. i don't find any romanticism in being bitter and isolated. i feel trapped between the horror of isolation, and the fact that every time i break out of my shell, i get sexually abused.

its just this endless nightmare. idk.
