Buck: All due respect, I love you

Eddie: Don't you dare say what you're about to say

Buck: You know you're not my type, Eds

Eddie: Well you're not my type either bitch

Buck: Wait, how the fuck am I not your type?

Eddie: Because I like them a little more rugged than you

Buck: I'm rugged

Eddie: You're not really

Buck: I'm so rugged

Eddie: You're not rugged

Buck: I'm very rugged

Eddie: Look at you, you're not rugged

Buck: How am I not rugged?

Eddie: Because-

Buck: 'Cause I'm not wearing a fucking flannel in 80° weather you stupid dumb idiot

Eddie: Yeah, but look at you now, you're too angry too. You fly off the handle, I don't like that

Buck: That's a very rugged thing to do

Eddie: No it's no- "wheeze*

Buck: Is it not rugged for you?

Eddie: No it's not

Buck: No?

Eddie: You can never be what I need Buck

Buck: I think I could be exactly what you need

Eddie: That's what you think. You don't even want me!

Buck: I don't want you

Eddie: So why do you need me to have you?!

Buck: But I want you to want me

Buck and Eddie singing in unison: I want you to want me. I need you to need me

desperately craving weird surrealist arthurania. Knights with no faces wandering through the mists. Seams between Christian and pre-Christian Britain gaping like open wounds. Beafts and visions. Maybe a monk. Maybe the monk is gay

All characters from any media are asexual unless they say outright, "I'm sexually attracted to this/all gender(s)".

[funky-little-vulcan]

yes it is. My attraction to men is tangibly queer, so much so that I knew I was queer before I ever managed to unearth my attraction to girls from its massive repression. I just knew I liked boys in a way I saw represented by gay men in media. Almost thought I was trans for a bit to explain the phenomenon. Then I realized, no, I’ve always liked girls but was so sheltered and repressed that I had no words for it.

bisexual attraction is inherently queer! yes, even if one of those modes of attraction "seems" inherently heterosexual. it's not! unless the individual chooses to label it as het, bisexual men being attracted to women is queer. bisexual women being attracted to men is queer. get used to it!

My favourite moments from Goncharov (1973).

thomas hutter risking it all for a 1000yo cock is nasty work😂😂😂

[scintillatingshortgirl19]

wow i can't believe they were actually allowed to show gay sex onscreen in 2011

[funky-little-vulcan]

Omg it’s me. Right now.

I hurt everyone who has the misfortune to love me. I hurt them because it’s who I am. I can’t help it. I will always be queer and I will always be the knife in their back, the wrench in their finely tuned gears.

4 years after coming out to myself, it’s still how I feel.

Growing up in the church as a queer kid is so uniquely traumatizing. You're taught that queer people go to hell before you even know that you are queer. You're taught to hate queer people before you know you're one of them. So when you first realize you like people of the same sex, you don't get butterflies in your stomach when you see your crush, you feel sick to your stomach. You've hated queer people all your life, so it's only natural to hate yourself too. No amount of prayer will make you straight, but of course you don't know that then. And you make yourself miserable for the sake of god and call your life a sacrifice and your only duty to be a martyr and die to yourself and your sinful desires until you're tired of being miserable. Until you figure out that the hell you're so scared of is the place you are right now. I'm not gonna put myself through hell to get to heaven. I'm done being miserable.

I find the way that BBC Merlin set up Merlin's powers in the first episode to be quite funny. I mean, we see this sort of lanky guy and it is established that he is Merlin and (according to our own common knowledge) therefore he is the most powerful warlock ever. Okay, cool. One might assume that he has come to Gaius to develop his powers, that maybe he's only in the beginning of his magical journey. But instead the exposition shows Merlin, in the pilot episode of this 5 series show, stop time and employ levitation to save someone's life with magic, and then it is announced that prince Arthur is essentially his soulmate, and their joint power will create the most glorious age Camelot has ever seen. Quite an exciting set-up. And then for the rest of the entire show this man who we know possesses TIME-ALTERING POWERS mostly uses them on-screen to do common chores and annoy and prank THAT SAME Arthur. Like that one post said, "All of it's destiny and all of it's his fault." :p

"Oh wait... you were out."

I love how Ben always gets surprised with Darius hugging him

BBC Merlin being about 'magic' for 7 minutes gay

i need you all to be normal about people deciding they don't want to explore their identities. we're not inherently repressing anything, and we're not lost opportunities for self-fulfillment and finding community. maybe some people are, but we are allowed to decide we're satisfied and digging deeper isn't what we want, and we're valid for it. it is our choice. please stop treating us like we're naive and gonna regret it

[cry-ptidd]

This is how you reciprocate Alucard's weird obsession thing btw. Like to him you just said "I do". You're never getting rid of him even if you survive and he doesn't

[dykesynthezoid]

“Daniel’s had sex with men how can he be a closet case” is such an extremely funny sentence as if there aren’t thousands of men in the world exactly like that. Like idk if you just aren’t knowledgeable enough about mlm spaces or what but that’s hilarious. “He’s clearly not repressed” *guy who is actively repressed*

Hate it when j&h adaptations give Jekyll a female love interest, like bitch, he HAS a love interest who is introduced on the first page, and his name is MR UTTERSON THE LAWYER.
