“linke can’t be homophobic he made the main couple lesbians!” ah yes, men, historically known for respecting sapphic women and relationships and not just treating them like a fetish.

It's been said before, it will be said again, but it's still worth saying: the fact that art centering on straight romance is allowed to just be bad, but art with queer romance in it always has to be indicative of A Serious Problem With the Way We Tell Queer Stories makes being a queer person making queer art deeply stressful

How it feels to be a Alice Oseman fan who hates heartstopper

[crazylittlejester]

my hot take for the day is that I trust the average straight man more than straight women who romance astarion with their twink elf male tav who’s been modded to the extreme

"If they ask for a sacrifice, let's make it a virgin. Young and hot-blooded!"

"I want to wake up beside a handsome virgin every morning, but life doesn't give us what we want."

not to get discoursey on the nsfw account but you do realize both "chasers fetishizing trans women for penises they may/may not have/want to use is wrong and should be warned against to young vunerable insecure trans women" and "some trans women feel indifferent or even positive about their genitals/using them during sex and/or might not want bottom surgery and theyre still equally trans women to the trans women who do have bottom dysphoria or have/want bottom surgery and also deserve protection from chasers" can both be true right? i just dont think its fair to try to erase those members of the community because they might not align with your standards for "real" or "safe" trans women who "deserve" to be trans and safe from chasers ykwim? am i making sense?

I feel kind of bad about doing something so petty, but each time I block a shipbrained weirdo, I feel a little lighter. And I think this will make my experience a lot better overall. I wasn’t caught up on the show until Chikhai Bardo, which is when I finally got online about it. And I’ve loved speculating about what might happen and discussing interpretations of various details and things like that, but honestly the shippers are also ruining it a little bit for me, to the point that I’m starting to feel hints of bitterness toward characters I love and relationships I’m invested in. Solely because of the dismissive, reductive, and bizarrely competitive attitudes I see shippers take toward the characters outside of their ship, and also tbh the objectification of the characters within their ship, and the horniness for the most toxic, psychologically damaging possible versions of the ship & characters. So this is the policy now. If your weird aggressive post makes me feel a streak of resentment toward a beautifully written character, well then so long, friend

The block button isn’t enough. I need a stronger way to repel Sheith content from ever violating my eyeballs again.

Armand in the latter third of the vampire armand is so fucking interesting. He was like, lestat is my brambling, laughing friend. He's like a brother to me. He's deeply and excruciatingly annoying. If anybody disrespects lestat's personhood, im about to start mauling. i will tear a bitch apart for Lestat. i will lie my own life down for him. Armand drank from lestat and saw a vision of Christ and later said that Christ was like a brother to him, that Christ was a human man just as he Armand is a human man. He said Christ's an extension of his own self, a mirror holding up to his own face, and it just sounds like Armand was really talking about lestat. Lestat is the focal point through which Armand learns, unsteadily and messily, to finally become a person himself. Armand's love for lestat feels like self-love. This demonic messed-up kid, he's healing through lestat, and I'm so obsessed with this fucking shit.

i guess the stage I'm at with metal gear dudebros is that they aren't even worth arguing with. It's not a matter of up to interpretation(except for like otasune). To deny the queer relationships in metal gear is to pointedly and purposefully deny the text, which isn't even particularly subtle. If these relationships were heterosexual there would be no argument, it's just blatant homophobia. I'm not theorizing or just "trying to make my gay ship canon". If they want to ignore the text thats their problem.

What is kmusicandblackwomens I don't even listen to kpop like that I'm just nosy

lolllllllll. kmabw was this relatively popular blog on tumblr and was on twitter that was mostly posting pics and videos of black women interacting with men in the kpop or khip hop industry. sometimes taking ppl's fan sign pics without asking and had a habit of sexualizing/fetishizing any situation. the men couldn't just be kind to fans he HAD to be 'down the coco' and it encouraged this really weird rhetoric among black kpop fans where an asian man making eye contact with them was a sign of desire. and they wanted to call some those men honorarily black bc they.... put on blacksonas when they performed and really normalized black women seeing themselves as objects with value only if some random ass asian man wants them and in TURN being really fetishy towards asian men. treating them interchangeably, acting like asian women a problem for talking abt the negatives of the men in their country... etc

i could go on but basically any time i see black women shit on their own race to prop up some asian man then proceed to insist the man in question is 'ghetto asian half black in spirit' i just know it's kmabws influence in my heart
