#once again everything is queer

[a-singing-carebear]

Once again we are continuing my silly idea from last year, what if instead of top 5 songs in the Spotify wrapped, it would be top 5 ships of 2022? This time I really went too far lol (I couldn't find my old format so I'm literally starting over again, and I can't find the right fonts so it's not as perfect as I wanted it to be... also why pink Spotify?? why??)

Because of course!

I mean come on how can you not!

Two lists in a row! respect!

Yes I only watched + read Good Omens this year don't kill me!

That's what a trilogy rewatch and first time reading the books will do to you.

And I'm going to do something illegal but I don't care, this year was much more shipping heavy and I've decided I'm doing a part two (top 10)

6. Almost made it to the main list! 7. Didn't make it last year, tactically this one two but they deserve all the love! 8. We CANNOT forget about these two! 9. That's what happens when you reawatch HXH after a few years, I'm obsessed again! 10. I mean, have you seen season two??

And here's last year:

What am I doing with my life? No really!

i’m never getting over how shovel knight decided to make a love story about a socially anxious mad scientist plague doctor bird guy trying to impress a hot goth girl by crafting a potion of unlimited power and then it ended up being the greatest romance ever conceived.

please play these games.

wait explain to me the destiel hatred i’m curious what abt it angers u that doesn’t apply to the other two ships

great question! the answer would unfortunately require 3 hours and a powerpoint presentation, so i will try to do a brief summary:

a ship sucking only ever has about 25% to do with the ship itself. destiel is bad in the sense that i think dean winchester is an annoying character that gets treated with kiddie gloves by the narrative, which makes him irritating to see on screen, because i personally dislike it when "men are angry and abusive because they just love too strongly, and don't know how to express it :(" is played straight as a character's primary internal conflict. especially over 15 seasons. it's boring, he's boring, and 35 year old men shouldn't be going to colleges trying to figure out which freshman girls are legal or not. hate him.

however the real sin of destiel, beyond the fact that dean winchester and i have beef that will only ever resolve when i get to reincarnate as the rusty nail that kills him, is that the fans are so so so fucking annoying. like yes the narrative frames dean as a golden boy who can either do no wrong, or "well, i guess he did wrong there, but what about how tortured he is :(" but good god. at least the show isn't trying to convince me that destiel is some groundbreaking lifechanging love story, complete with "omg this moment" montages where they romanticize scenes that feature dean either insulting, threatening, or humiliating cas. like this entire show (post season 5) is dean chronically either infantillizing and attempting to keep cas under his control, or holding him up as the only person he can rely on, thus giving cas expectations that are impossible to fulfill.

and don't get me wrong! people can like a shitty person and a fucked up ship. that's basically everything i enjoy on here. but at least like. acknowledge it. aldfkjalka. and if you're gonna like a shitty person and a fucked up ship, at least write about it in an interesting way. 90% of fic and posts written about destiel aren't even about destiel as presented in canon, they're about two generic men with generic personalities who suffer from the world's most generic tropey problems. cookie cutter ass basic relationship. the high school au of ships. boring.

Buffy fandom content that’s largely “let’s shame the spuffy and spike girlies!” (girlies used genderlessly) by constantly telling us how bad/wrong/fucked up/sick/crazy/in need of therapy we are under the guise of “concern” for us is so crazy and so funny and so embarrassing for those creators because they’re literally just joss whedon 2.0:

Hating/shaming/finger wagging and acting morally superior to a character/ship and their fans but at the same time being COMPLETELY dependent on said character/ship/fans you spend the majority of your time dumping on!! Like what on earth would you do for content if you took away the thing you spend 70-90% of your time shitting on??? Angel only got a 5th season BECAUSE of Spike - do you realize how crazy that is??? Joss spent all this time trying and failing to destroy Spike’s character because “it wasn’t the Spike show” (screamed in James’ face by joss as he is pinning him against a wall - there’s a guy who’s footsteps you want to follow in!) and then he’s using Spike as a way to save Angel just a few years later 💀💀💀 THAT IS SO EMBARRASSING FOR JOSS AND ANGEL 😹😹😹😹

Like I am so sorry you do not understand spuffy and spike - truly. If you don’t love him and spuffy I genuinely feel sad for you because you are missing out on SO MUCH FUN, beauty, gut wrenching heart ache, angst, healing, tenderness, absolute poetry and all around sexy, slutty time - spuffy is the ship that has EVERYTHING, performed by two absolutely PHENOMENAL actors with bonkers chemistry. Spuffy just is that girl proven by the fact that the haters are making podcasts and writing books just to shit on us (like we didn’t already cover all of it enough from the show’s creator, the patriarchy and the show itself???) DECADES later 😹😹😹

So my darling Spuffys - please don’t take these people’s misogyny and self hatred to heart. I know we’re all often chronically misunderstood and it can be so frustrating to witness a beloved character or ship endure the same treatment of being so horribly misunderstood and to see others support them but truly they’re just FURIOUS angel didn’t do what Spike did and that he doesn’t waste his time moping and hating himself and helps buffy to do the same. They’re hating from outside a club they can’t even get into because they don’t have the media literacy, emotional intelligence, and self confidence in who they are as people to love characters who are naughty and have fun doing it 😈

im havgin really cool transgender writing ideas like re-writing parts of tlsodm and tdotl to be less transphobic maybe but unfortunately i have no time at all to write any of this and also the schizo symptoms. are preventing me from my notes app

[nomazee]

the blade fic 🔫🔫 empty out your pockets and give me any additional thoughts or comments u have >:3c

OH GAWSH HI GWEN,,, you make me blush how did you know i have 1,000,001 thoughts abt every fic i write,,, you ask and i must deliver

the blade fic was so full of projecting but also im just so addicted to portrayals of social anxiety and feeling alienated/out of place in a group of people that are supposed to be your peers,,, i think thats something people experience at ANY age from like elementary school to WORKING age like you could be 40 in an established career and i think you can definitely still have moments where you're like "there is SOMETHING about me that makes me feel different from everyone and i do not think i belong here"

and in any school setting especially,,, i think that feeling very easily festers in u and oough... theres just a lot of feelings that i want to put into writing and this fic was my way to do it

ALSO PUKING FROM SOCIAL ANXIETY HELP,,, very personal experience,,, i know too intimately the feeling of anxiety becoming PHYSICAL and i think that can be so funny but also tragic sometimes Like the actual devastation of vomiting in public and being like "guys what happened"

i also love that i wrote for blade,, i was shuffling between so many characters for a roommate fic and im gonna be honest i was 2 bottled lemonades away from writing about SAMPO... i will never make that mistake again. i think blade has sweetheart potential in every universe but especially in a modern roommate au,, i think he would be so sarcastic and lovingly mean but have moments of like... AGGRESSIVE vulnerability,,, that line from the fic where he's like "i would do a lot of things if you asked" I stared at that line for five minutes and decided to keep it in becuase it just FELT like it fits him

I'm also absolutely gonna use this as an excuse to plug my in-progress blade hs au supernatural fic... Im so incredibly excited for that because that one is more comedy-oriented and i made blade a sarcastic funny loser in it and i think thats beauitufl... at the end of the day that's what he is... blade my sweetie pie forever and always.... i'll get him on his next rerun banner in four years....

I am sincerely considering whether I might be somewhere on the ace/aromantic spectrum, except I don't know where or what

There's multiple people who have told me that they feel the acute lack of a romantic relationship and they really want it. And while I get wanting a romantic relationship, there are times when I do too, whenever they tell me they feel its lack in their life for me it's like... Cannot compute. Literally. For me love is love, and I'm not trying to say it in a condescending manner, but I feel all love so deeply, I genuinely sometimes feel like I might be in love with all of my friends. Like what is there to lack if love is everywhere? Sure there's sex but like...I also don't particularly feel like I need sex. I like sex and sex stuff, but I don't need it desperately in my life.

Actually don’t go in those notes very rancid in there

It’s crazy how other people perceive you different than you do like wym y’all perceive me and that perception can either be a distortion of me or an exact mirror but I’ll never recognize either because neither of us have the full context behind those perceptions

[doriangrayanswers]

hi dorian!!

i was wondering if you could give me a suggestion for a good queer historical read?

(i suppose anything you reccomend would be historical)

if you're ever looking for something, i'd suggest Maurice by E.M. Forster, and although it was written in 1914, and published in 1970, i'm sure lord henry would have no problem getting his hands on it. (the man has CONNECTIONS.)

anyway love you, stay pretty, bye.

hello, anon!

I’m afraid I tend to prefer more modern literature…. I suppose that The Satyricon is a rather queer read? Historical, too— it’s my understanding that it’s used as a point of reference for how the Roman lower classes lived.

And I don’t know how Harry would manage finding those books you mentioned, but you’re right that he somehow seems like he’d be able to.

Thank you, goodbye! (And I certainly will <3)

Homophobic that I have to record and edit a whole video in order to share the songs I write in a visual medium tbh

I need a wizard to just magically broadcast how good I made this cover of a song from The Last Unicorn. Beam it directly into the hearts and minds of the nation and also the author Peter S. Beagle, whom I googled just now and who is still alive AND WOULD SURELY GIVE ME THE RIGHTS TO USE HIS LYRICS IN MY GRAPHIC NOVEL IF HE ONLY KNEW HOW SICK MY UKULELE SKILLS ARE
