#or the “homophobic ally”

Baal: Fuck off, Poro.

Poro: ...

Baal: Not because you're gay, because you're annoying.

Poro: Oh...

*Two days later*

Poro: Fuck off, Baal.

Baal: Why?

Poro: Oh, not because you're annoying.

Poro: Because you're straight.

if you were a trans patient in House MD, House would call you sooo many slurs to your face, fuck up your pronouns intentionally, invent a new offensive term that hadn’t previously existed and look up your deadname so he can use it pointedly in every single sentence. then after the end of episode shenanigans he’d casually be like “btw i lied to the administration and told them you needed hormone injections and insurance subsidized top surgery to live. better not tell lol” and you’d just have to accept the fact that you’ve been hatecrimed AND gender-affirmed in the span of like 24 hrs

i'm not trying to start anything, but i just saw a post criticizing misha collins for not choosing to quit spn when the network was homophobic and he was "profiting from homophobia" and i just think it's kind of... wild? that young people think that a person could just. decide to not work for a prejudiced corporation when they have a family to provide for?

i don't know, i don't even really want to debate or go into it more, but it's just kind of surreal to see opinions from people who weren't there in 2013 when misha collins was literally the only person willing to support not just destiel shippers but actual queer and trans and ace fans. i have no doubt that he saved lives through the care he showed to vulnerable young people who desperately needed to see someone give a damn about them. he's significantly flawed in many ways, but he will always be a saint in my eyes for how much he cared.

like i just don't think that people accustomed to this modern era where hardly anyone blinks over two men kissing on tv can understand what it was like when we were mocked and silenced, when we weren't allowed to breathe the word 'destiel' without getting booed, and misha was the only damn person who spoke up for us. the only one. who was probably risking his job in saying the things he did.

things have changed. that's wonderful. don't judge people surviving previous eras by the standards of today.

somebody HAS to tell me where the "dipper was supposed to be canonically transmasc but disney wouldn't allow it" rumor started because it's like. Hilariously Absolutely Untrue On Every Level, but apparently widespread enough that ppl in their mid-20s just accepted it as fact and make sure to repeat and spread it on any transfem!dipper posts they see

reading abt red katherine is so dystopian bc like she made a comic you didnt like for an ideology you dont know anything about and you said "ha! her drawing is offensive for lgbtq+ people! lets report her to her dictatorship state for being lgbtq+!" and you see nothing wrong with that

There's a Kalymos plushie with a pride flag you say

[feitan-cl]

im picking a fight with this kid on the youtube comment section of film theory's video on the book of bill bc he's the biggest billford denier and replies to billford shippers telling them to get over it and stuff

i would say to wish me luck but i think he needs it more

[verpineshatterrifle]

kal goes to pride out of spite because he's mad that people would be cruel to their children just because they're queer, pass it on

[talktonytome]

Ok but we need a bucktommy and they were roommates au where Buck doesn’t understand why it bothers him every time Tommy brings a guy home 👀

[theposhperyton]

All evidence suggests yes

Harringrove AU where Billy is fully aware/accepting of the fact that he's not straight, and only goes after girls/women to keep suspicions from reaching Neil's ears (because in Neil's eyes, a son who whores around is far preferable than one who fucks men). Meanwhile Steve struggles with the idea that he's bi, because any potential interest in guys he's had in the past was easy to ignore, because he's always liked girls/women so he's fully convinced he can't be gay.

Jinx saying she supports the gays and proceeds to beat the crap out of said gays .02 seconds later was NOT what I thought was gonna happen.

But hey she beat the allegations 🤣

I could write a fairly long list of reasons why Pei Ming SucksTM, but still I cannot help but feel a little bad for the guy.

Despite all of his bullshit, he has always managed to preserve some semblance of a moral code, and he never really crossed the line... Meanwhile, all the people he is close with? Out there committing the Most Atrocities Ever!

Like...

Rong Guang: Bro what if we, ahah, what if we usurped the throne and put you in charge?? Pei Ming: ... Bro what the fuck??? Xuan Ji: Beloved, I will betray my country for you!! Here's all of our secret strategies and plans!! Pei Ming: ??? No thanks! Pei Xiu: I may have been killing random humans for centuries to save my ghost lover... Pei Ming: Junior!! I believed in you!!! Shi Wudu: That's just humans. I actually stole the Fate of a future god and exchanged it with my brother's, ashtag #NoRegrets Pei Ming: ....... What the fuck is wrong with everybody??? Is it just me and Ling Wen now????? Ling Wen: ... Pei Ming: ....... please don't tell me Ling Wen: So remember that Very Cursed object we have in storage? Pei Ming: For Fuck's Sake

Okay, I’ve been enjoying all the “Buck is an Ally” jokes but, especially after the scene with Maddie, I feel like there’s an element there that’s not being discussed but that rings really true of a lot of people’s queer experiences.

I’m pretty sure Buck knows that being a man and going on a date with a man makes him some flavor of queer. He’s not that dumb, he can do that math.

But he’s nervous! There’s something exposed and uncomfortable about going on this date, telling his friends and family, being seen to be something other than straight. And he feels like he shouldn’t feel that way. He thinks being queer is great! It’s totally normal! No one should feel uncomfortable about being visibly queer!

So if he’s uncomfortable, if he feels exposed, if he doesn’t want to tell his friends or family right away, if he lies about it? Was he never as okay with all of this as he thought he was? Was he not actually an ally?

I feel like allyship can come with this sort of expectation that you’d transition gracefully into being queer. That it would be comfortable and easy. And that expectation can actually make it a lot more uncomfortable. Because being comfortable with queerness and being comfortable with self-discovery are two very different things but when the self-discovery you’re dealing with is your own queerness they don’t seem separate.

It can really feel like “if you were a good ally you’d be totally comfortable being perceived as queer” sometimes. And obviously that’s not true. Coming out can be extremely vulnerable and it can be really uncomfortable to do any kind of self-discovery but especially figuring out your sexuality. And especially later in life. And I think it really makes a lot of sense that Buck, who is definitely feeling unsure and exposed, feels like he shouldn’t feel that way because he’s been an ally. So he feels like he needs to validate that past experience of being an ally. He’s seeking validation that being unsure in this self-discovery doesn’t negate his past acceptance of and comfort with queerness. And I think he does get that validation from Maddie.

And I think there’s an interesting conversation (and maybe some interesting fanfiction) there if we just dig a little deeper past the jokes.

Sexy old German man that I drew during sexy German class at the sexy start of the sexy day at sexy 9 am in my sexy book for sexy notes. Sadly the sexy week schedule for the sexy school week was sexily changed so that my sexy German teacher had to be replaced by another sexy teacher. I miss him so much, that sexy middle aged man. I'm serious though. He was my favourite teacher😭 The new one is nice though, I like her🥰
