Yâall want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you wonât even write femslash about her
#I was curious so I looked it up 1038 fics on ao3 tagged Taylor Swift and f/f#like Iâm not necessarily encouraging people to go out and write rpf#but itâs wild that arguably the biggest musical artist right now who has a huge community speculating about her sexuality has so little fic#like this isnât a good or bad thing I just think itâs interesting#idk Iâm not actually a swiftie like that#like I listen to her music and keep up generally with what sheâs doing but Iâm not really in the fandom#so there might be something Iâm missing

hiiii can we talk about the impact being aromantic has on your gender i'd like to talk about the impact being aromantic has on your gender. how much romantic attraction and relationships are essential in establishing yourself as a Real & Proper Wo/Man. like literally throughout my gender journey i would keep mentally updating the hypothetical narrative of my future marriage and it took YEARS until I realized I didn't even want to get married. but sexuality is so fundamental to gender and romance is so fundamental to sexuality. i cannot separate many of my struggles with gender from my inability to make mine coherent through my pursuit of socially acceptable romances
#m.#also being multigender impacts my sexuality so so so much but that's a different post#one i can make if people are interested?#aromantic#aro

I know it's been said but the changes to Maria really grate on me because....this doesn't even read as the same character anymore. Maria's design was purposeful, a very clear specific concept of a 'cool sexy girl who wears leopard print and crop tops, and have a belly button piercing and a tattoo' - it combines to a stand out character portrait of not just Maria but of James, because THATS what he finds sexy and was a stark contrast to modest, sickly Mary. The new design literally just looks like a teacher or a manager now, what the hell is that supposed to tell me about either of their sexualities.
And no this isn't a case of 'tHe cEnSorINg' - this is just misunderstanding the themes. Maria wasn't needlessly sexy, objectified for the viewer; her sex appeal was referenced in the story, and was an important part of it, one of the MAJOR themes.
#listen i love horror and This pains Me.#this makes me so mad specifically as someone that writes a character with sex appeal#it just feels like its disregarding a big chunk of interesting things to say about the human experience - sexuality or lack thereof#they all SAY things about us !!! Maria stood out and that was for a REASON#im not the biggest fan of angela either just ....something about her looks off to me. i think she looks too fresh and clean.#i need her with eyebags and greasy

"This fandom is so queer friendly!" This fandom literally hates, bisexual, trans, nonbinary, and aspec people but ok.
#text#fandom#fandom culture#âqueer friendlyâ you mean gays an lesbians? because i sure as hell don't see the same friendlyness towards anyone else#bisexual character exists ânoooo they were comphetâ or âthey're dating the opposite sex right now so it doesn't count!!!â#Trans character exists and their story still has to focus on them being gay or else it's not queer or interesting enough#not to mention the sexualization they will face solely based off their trans identity#and the debates on if they're âreallyâ gay or not because of being trans#Nonbinary character or character with complex and nuanced gender exists#and it's all about what their ACTUAL gender is and âI'm just going to use [gendered pronouns] for X because i see X as a boy/girlâ#Character uses a specific set of pronouns and everyone decides to toss those to the side in favor of other (gendered) pronouns#under the guise of ânonbinary people can use gendered pronouns too! they are still nonbinaryyyyyyy i prommyâ#Aspec character exists and it's ânooo you can't prove their aspecâ âI can still ship them because aros can still dateâ#âAces can still have sex so I can sexualize this ace characterâ#âokay but i headcanon them as a different sexuality so it's fine!â#and if you headcanon ANY of these identities? âNooo you can't PROVE that they are bi/trans/nonbinary/aspec!!!!!â#queer#lgbt+#lgbtq+#lgbtqia+#bisexual#aro#ace#aromantic#asexual#aroace#aplatonic#aspec#acespec#arospec

OP: Check out. The fully-sexual charged cinematic movement design.
Cnetizens: How did the director come up with the idea to have him kneel on a playing card, adding so much aesthetic energy, is that some kind of genius?
#china#cdramas#dramas#lmao#They are siblings and they're discussing serious matters#this scene is actually rather heavy because the younger brother is involved in drug trafficking#carrying more than 50 grams of heroin will result in a death sentence in china let alone being involved in drug trafficking#the older brother is a gangster king#but even he doesn't dare to get involved in the drug business because it will bring about the demise of his family#sorry for digression I mean how did the director make this scene which has absolutely nothing to do with sex#so sexually charged?#btw there're many posts with rich information about China's crackdown on drug crimes on xhs and douyin#especially about how the four major drug-trafficking families in Myanmar were wiped out overnight#they buried undercover Chinese counter-narcotics police alive and kidnapped and brutally excuted civilians#so if you're interested you can go with the key words çŒ
çžć性柶æèŠç on xhs and douyin#cnetizens' views on drugs are related to modern Chinese history#the first chapter of modern history in high school textbooks is the opium wars#There's a very dark joke on xhs about which country in the world would least like China to withdraw from the P5#and the answer is the UK#because it's in the first chapter of China's modern history#the Destruction of opium at Humen in 1839#no offence but Breaking Bad can't last for more than one episode if it happens in china because of the sewer detection technology#they can detect the tiniest amount of drugs in feces in a body of water the size of a lake for up to six months#which can be quickly locked down to neighbourhoods and portals#Once a foreigner was caught smuggling and selling 222.035 kg drugs in China and sentenced to death with two other Chinese associates#his country's prime minister asked for his extradition#cnetizens commented that there was an opium war and he still dare to come to China to sell drugs be like æŸæ»court death#All the above information is to explain the gangster king's attitude towards his brother's drug business

My issue with writing Julian POV is that I donât think Julian is actually self-aware enough to realise how mind-blowingly attracted to Garak he actually is, no.
I think he would be in denial about it conciously, because Garak is a dangerous Cardassian who may or may not be a spy. Julian would filter his attraction through whatever justifications he can for why heâs not ~really~ attracted to him. (While blushing and being flustered by Garakâs overt attraction and flirting back like his life depends on it for reasons he will conveniently brush over in his head.)
But you see, I cannot conceive that anyone could ever, ever look at Garak and not immediately be overcome with lust that makes them dizzy. I canât imagine having someone who looks like that approach so blatantly flirty and not just immediately following them back to their store to do whatever the fuck they tell you for as long as they want.
So itâs very hard for me to write Julian not being immediately on his knees for Garak because it baffles me that he didnât just throw himself at Garak over the table in that replimat to begin with.
Maybe itâs my bizarre taste in men talking but how did this scene not end with Julian following him back to his store and being like âYes, sir, what do you want to do with me, sirâ.
#star trek#star trek ds9#garashir#elim garak#julian bashir#stella talks#.iâm down bad for the lizard okay. down SO BAD. itâs shameful.#.conversely i canât write garak POV at fucking all bc bashir just does nothing for me sexually.#.heâs very very pretty and i love him and heâs compelling as fuck.#.but i have zero carnal desire for that man.#.he does give me real bad gender envy tho.#.my working theory is that garak is so easy to read as transfem that itâs overriding my lack of interest in men bc garak is a woman to me.

thinking about orvs metatextual engagement with its genre and specifically how that interacts with its women again. kim dokja is a self insert for the reader - what he thinks is largely meant to represent what we think, especially in the beginning before sing shong really fleshes out his character. kim dokja sees the world through tropes, directly acknowledging the genre around him and the cliches we expect e.g. the overpowered mc, the scheming villain, the beautiful heroine.
but a major part of his arc is deconstructing this reductionist view of the world in a way that parallels the author's deconstruction of the genre, and that plays really well with the way orv writes women. yoo sangah is perhaps the best exanple - shes introduced as the heroine, a one-dimensional pretty girl who in any other novel would become kim dokja's love interest. but the authors allow her to be her own character, directly challenging the stereotype of the heroine and calling attention to the genre's typical lack of depth for such a character. i think this undercurrent plays in the background often but really comes to the forefront when yoo sangah reminds kim dokja of her putting pepper in their bosses' coffee, a memory kim dokja had supressed because it didn't fit with the pretty girl persona he made for her.
i interpret that moment as yoo sangah pushing her way out of the mold of heroine often found in these stories, demanding a depth be added to her character, asking kim dokja - and thus the reader - to see her in her entirety, to see the heroine archetype for what she could be. orv is at all times in conversation with its genre, and its simultaneous writing of female characters with agency and depth and acknowledgement of the tropes these women are expected to fulfill is undeniably a part of that. and its a part i enjoy. most of the time.
#ok trigger warning for discussion of sa in the tags#ive been thinking about this in context with my discomfort with sa in orv specifically#i think its sort of related to this i think sa happens in orv not because sing shong is at all interested#in exploring that topic or discussing its place in this genre#i think its one of those things that 'happens because it happens' if that makes sense#and like i dont blame sing shong for not wanting to explore that topic#but i think it does stand out to me#especially in contrast with orvs usual depth and it's willingness to engage with heavier topics#like its implied that if kim dokja wouldn't have saved her han sooyoung would have been sexually assaulted possibly to DEATH!!!#and its so brushed over she never expresses any real feelings about it#honestly im just rambling in here but like. yeah.#thats why we have tags babyyyytt#anyway. coughs.#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint

sorry let me rant about downton abbey 10 years later
Thomas's conversion therapy plot pisses me off so much. firstly, it's incredibly out of character. he never wanted to change to conform to society, he wanted the world to change to accomodate him. the man who said "it's not against the law to hope is it" and "I'm not foul, Mr Carson, I'm not like you, but I'm not foul" would NEVER
secondly, from a storytelling perspective, the only 'problem' is that he used infected needles. did we forget that Thomas was a sergeant in the RAMC? he knows how to sterilise needles and how to recognise and treat infection. this also shifts the blame to Thomas himself for getting sick and implies that the conversion therapy itself is harmless (Dr Clarkson says it's just saline solution)
thirdly, it's not historically accurate. I'm not an expert but conversion therapy was not at all common in the 1920s, even Sigmund Freud was against it. hormone therapy and chemical castration were barely developing let alone available to the public (I can't imagine what else the 'treatment' was supposed to be). the only practices that I can find evidence of were psychoanalysis and electric shock therapy
Thomas also mentions that he did electric shock treatment - if you really want to make a point about homophobia in the 1920s (and make Thomas suffer as much as possible), show that instead. watching him be literally tortured for his sexuality would have been far more impactful than him just... looking sweaty for a few episodes
#I'm just shouting into the void#i just think that if you're going to make the only gay character constantly suffer it should at least be a compelling narrative#i have very similar thoughts about his plotline with jimmy. its stupid and out of character. Julian fellowes just wanted to punish him#for being gay without even giving him a chance at a happy relationship#i think sexually assaulting Jimmy is one of the only genuinely bad things that Thomas does and yet its the only one framed sympathetically#it's conflated with being gay generally and we're meant to pity him#you know what would have been a sympathetic narrative? if they were actually in a relationship and punished for an innocent love#and then thomas could still take the fall for it and go to prison and Jimmy would have to live with that guilt and be separated from him#which also would have been way more interesting than the bullshit anna and bates prison plot that dragged on way too long#ugh downton abbey could have been so good if the writer wasn't an old bigoted tory#downton abbey#thomas barrow

Honestly it's kinda funny how big part of the fandom believes in loser Sanji and rizzer Zoro as if Sanji didn't pulled 2 girls in his introduction Arc (in front of their dates too lol) and Zoro pulled 1 girl in entirity of the canon if I remember correctly
In Zoro's defence may be that he doesn't exactly try + baths once a week but still, canon lol
#and yeah I think both Baratie Arc girls would go out with him if asked#many girls enjoy Sanji and his attention#even mermaids loved him#even if they arent interested in him romantically/sexually they still like him#and I think that alone is enough for him to not be a loser lol#it's not a Zoro hate post to be clear#one piece#black leg sanji#roronoa zoro#sleep deprived post#<I may be foregtting something obvious#may talkin shit#<also because of sleep deprivation#I'm tired af rn lol#Zosan#Sanzo#<because made after reading fanfic so it applies I think?

Why is everyone here so obsessed with sex and romance why can't you appreciate the comedic genius of "rivals who fight about parenting to rile the other up to begrudging coparents who bicker like a divorced couple to actually maybe tolerating the other and the insults are now less spiteful and biting to hells first qpr (queerplatonic rivalry) to hells first qpr (queerplatonic relationship)"
#like. gah. there is so so so many interesting ways to take this dynamic and you chose kiss and fuck#i can excuse the aphobia but i draw the line at ooc dynamics (ITS A JOKE A REFERENCE A JOKE I DONT EXCUSE APHOBIA)#sigh#i can excuse all the smut to a point but like. you took the (ONLY) canonically sex repulsed character and made him fuck the dilf#and you didnt even make it an exploration of sexuality with the realisation sex isnt necessary for a relationship#or that its ok to actually hate sex#(when it involves yourself. so long as its safe sane and consensual its not really your business)#ughbkembaalgk ive lost my train of thought i think its late but yeah im just a lil pissy about the casual aphobia#dont even get me started on the blatant stuff ffs#radiostar#radioapple#appleradio#alastor#hazbin hotel#hazbin alastor#moss' madness

oh, every other horror comedy I've seen can step aside, they have nothing on 1973's The Wicker Man
#midsommer is directly in conversation with this movie; I had no idea#and even love witch borrows a few tricks in staging; and the half-ironic sense of humor#I could see the bones of scarfolk too; probably other british folk horror#but interesting twists - the deliberate artificiality of the rituals! the roving greek chorus of the town! the matter-of-fact sexuality!#(I did love the not-actually-sex sex scene. that worked marvelously for me;#so did the mum who greeted all of howe's questioning with placid cheerfulness; cutting into cakes#shaped like ritual sacrifices and denying that she knows anything about her own daughter)#it's just a very funny movie! except for the moment when howe and summerisle face off on the cliff face#and howe screams about how summerisle will be next. that is the one sincere moment in the whole thing#and it rings out like a struck bell. it does.#a proscenium for our dreams
