tbh its great that bepo is a bear because we can get PDA like this

and noone bats an eye

this could never happen with a pair of human characters. let alone pair of male human characters.

#we could never see killer casually hang off of kidd no matter how much kidd calls him Partner #he's cute so its fine #foolish #i wont pretend that oda snuck them by all of you on purpose #nor will i admit myself into a mental hospital for NOTICING #because how dare i #bepo is not salome. he is not a pet. he is not one of those half-sentient animals on hancock's island #hes a full guy #law has a guy rest his chin on his head and his hand on his shoulders in a half hug #you are looking at it right now #one piece #lawbepo #positive gay rep

Not enough people are talking about Mr. Loverman on bbc. This show has:

Two elderly black men in love

Tale about internalized homophobia

Caribbean culture in England and in Antigua

Family dynamics and intergenerational relations

Great acting

A touching story

Is based on a book (I haven't read it yet, but I heard great things)

I won't tell you more because I don't want to spoil it.

Granted, it's not a perfect show, but it is sweet and you should definitely give it a try.

okay yeah im only 25 and i grew up with so much more queer representation than people even just 5-10 years older than me but GOD what i wouldnt have given to have people like chappell roan or heartstopper and its cast to look up to back then! imagining my 12 year old self watching that show... i would have cried my little heart out tbh idc if its a bit saccharine sometimes. and i can't even imagine what chappell roan would've done to me. im so happy young queers have these things but god imagine

#lesser but also just as important; dan and phil and troye sivan and all those youtubers being out #i very much did have those i was a teenager during the peak of youtube #but its different #i had mostly gay male role models back then and i just wonder how different it wouldve been to see some positive lesbian rep #we had like. ellen. and santana from glee lol.#santana was iconic but she reminded me of my school bullies #lgbt #text #yap #lesbian #chappell roan #heartstopper

I'm gonna froth at the mouth over this in the tags so bear with me but reason #1278038 why the way rick went about breaking up jiper was bad: rereading her povs in hoo where she gushes over jason feels like even more of an unreliable narrator queer girl comphet psychological horror story

#it's not that that isn't interesting (it's fascinating actually. especially for a daughter of aphrodite!!!)#it's that it Obviously wasn't his og intention. the ending of hoo is clearly intended to give a positive impression of jiper #this is worsened because shelper is wildly underdeveloped so it's like Dude what did you even do this for #literally just an afterthought. a footnote really. he said “ok here's your canon sapphic rep pls stop shipping theyna now” /j #she was a main character in one of the main couples in hoo it's so crazy? how can that happen. he would never do this to percabeth #can you imagine if percabeth broke up offscreen and 2 months later annabeth was with some complete rando and then percy died. girl what #it's the kind of setup/payoff issue that is difficult to put into words because he set up something (jiper and all its complex morality)#to ultimately be good because they're making the choice to love each other in the end (poorly executed but whatever I don't hate it)#and then in toa????? he just obliterates them for no payoff and creates a new impression of the most literal case of comphet imaginable? wh #toa is my absolute least favorite sorry #marginally related but if we can Be. Chill. and acknowledge that he originally wrote nico as crushing on annabeth #(we can argue all day about how Definite the crush was but come on. he did not put percy's speculation of it in there for no reason)#(and he obviously did not plan for nico to be gay back then you will literally never convince me of this)#(representation was NOT on his mind in the first 5 books that's why the cast is almost completely white except charles and ethan)#(the disposable poc who die tragically btw)#then I see a similarly confusing debacle but like. in the opposite way #something something sexuality is fluid you can be gay and feel confused about how u used to have a het crush but are still gay #nico says so himself to piper which is hilarious #it's just the lack of consistency and poor planning that I hate........... it is a ginormous pet peeve of mine and it's All Over His Books #piper already reads as having so much growing to do regarding her gender and sexuality because Somebody #(the man writing her) littered her pov with internalized misogyny/anti hyperfemininity and went nowhere with it #rr crit #percy jackson and the olympians #piper mclean #jason grace #pjo hoo toa #anti jiper #<- I PROMISE I am not actually anti-jiper I am very neutral about it as I am with all jason ships. they had cute moments #tagging that just in case #this comes from a place of deep love for the franchise and it's characters btw I have been a fan since I was 8

I love and cherish by edits and stuff of my dramatic high fantasy guys, my minecraft guys, my silly little monsters, my dramatic sci-fi guys, my animated guys

But can we please also normalize making edits and stuff of like regular ass sitcom guys

Like where are the badass edits of Rosa Diaz, the crush edits of Tahani al Jamil, the ship edits of David and Patrick, the comfort edits of Chidi Anagonye

I say this as a person who lives in fantasy and whimsy content

I feel like we deserve both

(Ps I rambled a lot about this in the tags so maybe check them out :3 👀👀👀)

#I mean it though #like I rewatched schitts creek recently and David and Patrick are so sweet they make me sick #and as like a realizstic world sitcom their relationship gives me so much hope for the future as a queer person #like ughh my god it’s beautiful #and like #THE GOOD PLACE???#this brilliant absurdism hopeful goofy thing like actually changed by Brian chemistry when I was 11 or 12 #the friendships are so beautiful #and like the end always have me crying #also back to schitts creek the cabaret episode is such a comfort episode to me #and maybe that’s because I’m such a theater kid but I feel like it’s a really good Stevie episode and who doesn’t love Stevie budd #and like the growth of Alexis #also Moira rose is a gay icon #and b99 may be your more stereotypical ‘office’ type show but I know so many people who love it #for good reason like the characters are stereotypical in some ways but they are so unique and lovely #like the positive rep of queer people and people of color #and Jake’s constant feminism (AND SUPPORT OF TRANS WOMEN!)#guys tag any of your favorite day to day normal ass sitcoms that you wish you had cute dramatic or fluffy or simpy or motivational edits fo #also back to schitts creek one last time- a Stevie and David platonic soulmates edit please I’m begging #anyway #I digress #I hope this gets seen by at least a few people that agree lmao #hopefully it makes sense #sitcoms #schitts creek #b99 #the good place #ramblings #GUYS ABBOT ELEMENTARY #ariana speaks

THE NEW BUDDY DADDIES EPISODE WGA3GWGUAHEJAHAJFA

#I was pessimistic about it having queer rep‚ like it's definitely queercoded but i didn't expect ACTUAL canon rep #but this entire episode was about Kazuki learning to move on from his wife‚ to keep her in his memory but allowing himself to be happy #because that's what she would have wanted! and then he comes home to see Rei sleeping next to Miri and holding her hand #and then it zooms in on Rei's sleeping face‚ finally without shadows‚ and Kazuki gives him this adoring‚ gay‚ most lovestruck look ever #and THEN Rei makes him malefail french toast for breakfast?? HELLOOO #I'm still not 100% positive we'll get queer rep‚ but i think it's definitely on the table #buddy daddies #buddy daddies 7 #oh btw about rei's worried expression‚ i was right. miri just caught a cold and rei got scared #I'm not joking‚ he realizes they don't have children's cold medicine and immediately goes ''Hospital!''#instead of. you know. going to the drugstore and getting children's cold medicine #rei is like ''i am NOT a papa'' and then becomes the world's most worried father Ever when his 4 yr old catches a cold #a.txt

momma cat teaching baby cat how to walk is so jaren and gg coded

#when the kitten started walking too fast and the momma ran over to catch up to it so he doesnt stray too far #jaren worrying to reporters on if he's too hard on gg sometimes bcs he genuinely believes gg is gonna grow up to be the best in his position #is so so so cute #he just wants to be a good vet to gg!! a good mother !!!#especially since the biggest jab to grizzlies' rep is a lack of a strong veteran presence #so ofc they adopt the youngest player in the league lol #fratbros find a baby in a box abandoned on their doorstep like a firehouse would #' i dont watch the grizzlies anymore' u dont care abt jaren sharing an nba vet trick to gg #and correcting his previous rookie thought #and always quickly running over to him and high fiving gg as positive reinforcement #u dont even wanna watch jaren gentle parenting him ???#des always keeping a watchful eye on gg and asking him his opinions on new things to his bright eyes?#'what you see gg?' as theyre both looking at the same thing but he wants to know what GG sees.. what GG thinks !#theyre a vaguely gay vaguely polyamours (im not correcting thay) fratbro frathouse gathering their collective single dusty tiny braincell #together just to try and take care of this fratinfant. the fratbaby #theyre incredibly dear to me. very so #gg #jaren

was i supposed to know that there’s a drag queen in one piece called “the miracle worker” who turns a transphobic guy into a woman or was i supposed to just watch it in impel down myself

#one piece #i love this show. the queer characters could have been portrayed better…#but it was 2008. and this is an anime. and it’s wildly popular. and it’s still amazing #they literally say ‘we’re here and we’re queer’ and ‘if this is hell at least it’s a gay one’#these characters are treated as heroes. they’re allowed to say ‘what’s wrong with being trans? gender is a construct and we can choose’#anyways. sobbing over this bc it’s positive queer rep!!! and i wasn’t looking for it!! i just stumbled on it!!!

I'm not sure how much you know about Welcome to Night Vale, but could you make a gender related to being a Desert Bluffs citizen?

queued!

Rewatching I Love You Philip Morris again for the first time in literally YEARS and it's so funny seeing people in the tags call it niche. I remember being a kid and people making a huge deal out of it because it was these 2 relatively well know and respected actors playing gay extreme leads and also there was the whole dramatic delay with getting the movie distributed in the US cause of the content and because of legal issues with the original distributor.

#also bizarrely enough i remember some kind of small debate did stem around it #and weather or not it was good rep considering that at the time it was still kind of a big deal #that these two bigger Hollywood names were playing controversial roles both that the characters were criminals and gay #we still didnt get much positive or in depth characterization in a main stream way #hell i even remember my closeted uncle bring it up with my older sister which is wild #anyway remembering all that literally made me want to watch it when i was old enough to get access to it #and i watched it like most things in high school lol

i'm sorry but people's biggest issue with glee's biphobia (that i see get voiced most often) being the fact that blaine ended up gay instead of bi is INSANE to me. you're telling me that a canon queer character who briefly questions his sexuality and decides he is in fact gay (an experience that i know for a fact quite a few queer ppl DO relate to) is a bigger biphobia issue than any of the shitty lines about bisexuality the show gave to kurt or santana

#sorry the demons got to me #at least kurt gets a Little bit of comeuppance with blaine's i'd say ''bye'' mic drop line and kurt being framed as being in the wrong #tho i also wish he apologized obv. but with other lines (like that diner scene w santana & dani) they don't even address it at all #WHICH IS A MUCH BIGGER ISSUE TO ME than blaine deciding he is in fact gay are you KIDDING 😭#do i wish there was more positively depicted bi rep in the show Very Much So but it gives me such a weird feeling that people #INSIST that it HAS to have been one of the few characters we know for a Fact is gay #shh sapphire

i wish we had better/more frequent and varied ace representation in media

#srsly why is it always like. okay this guy is SO EVIL and PSYCHOPATHIC he’s INCAPABLE OF MEANINGINFUL RELATIONSHIPS - here’s your rep!!#or ‘look at this supersmart nerdy guy he is all intellectual and has no need for physical relationships!!#and if there is any rep they are always sex-repulsed aroaces.#where are the romantic aces? the sex-positive aces?? the aces with a crippling fear that they’ll be forever alone because who would want -#to be in a relationship with no sex?#the aces in poly relationships. the aces that are exclusive with an allo partner #seriously why is there so little media depicting aces it’s truly bizarre to me #and the tendency for fandom to go [oh this character must be gay] when they don’t show attraction to the opposite sex - even when #- they haven’t shown attraction to the same sex either. Like maybe they’re just not interested in relationships?

It’s Norway 1904, and Asta Hedstrom doesn’t want to marry her odious betrothed, Nils—even though a domestic future is all her mother believes she’s suited for, on account of her single-sided deafness, unconventional appearance, and even stranger notions. Asta would rather spend her life performing in the village theater with her friends and fellow outcasts: her best friend Gunnar Fuglestad and his secret boyfriend, wealthy Erlend Fournier.

But the situation takes a dire turn when Nils lashes out in jealousy—gravely injuring Gunnar. Shunning marriage for good, Asta moves with Gunnar and Erlend to their secluded cabin above town. With few ties left with their families, they have one shot at gaining enough kroner to secure their way of life: win the village’s annual horse race.
