[pro wrestling au] [in the middle of a promo] Elphaba: We are the most dominant tag team in the history of this organization! Galinda: Well...I'm definitely dominant! My girl here, not so much! Elphaba, blushing: Not right now? Galinda: Oops, sorry about that! Go on about how "dominant" you are...Elphie.

Jensen and Misha reuniting on The Boys be like :

[cosmic-espero]

I won't lie Will is a much better person than me because imagine hanging out with himbo extraordinaire Leon Strohl Da Haliaetus under the starry night sky only for him to gift you a seashell bracelet, which by the way later turns out to be culturally associated to romance by the Mustari because your supposed canon love interest literally gives you another shell with a similar function and describes it as a gift wives give their husbands.

And then he tells you he likes you.

And right as you're already planning a summer wedding, the motherfucker adds "like a brother".

Like, I would've ended up on the news.

How do I express to the writers of criminal minds that I cannot take one more season of no canonical lesbian Emily Prentiss. Oh and I can definitely not take anymore queerbaiting

I mean I love the show but it’s more than just about crime and profiling. This show is nothing without the characters.

[darklinaforever]

I still can’t believe in the show, Rhaenyra involved Mysaria (a woman who just weeks/months before had aided in her being usurped!) more than her heir and first born son, Jace. Jace seemed heart broken and confused at Rhaenyra’s illogical actions. Do you think the writers made Mysaria so important just to queerbait Rhaesarias and Rhaenicents?

Well Mysaria is supposed to play a fairly important role in the black team. Whether as a spy or story-wise to sow discord between Daemon and Rhaenyra. The problem is that the writers did anything with the character. They rejected the fact once again that a woman could be morally ambiguous or evil to make Mysaria a sincere person with Rhaenyra, which is ridiculous with what she does later, although I doubt the writers will keep this scenario of Fire and Blood, this does not fit at all with their agenda on the treatment of female characters. Yes, Rhaesaria, like Rhaenicent is just queerbaiting. These relationships will never go anywhere. And again, I find Rhaesaria worse. Because at least Rhaenicent seems to have some form of attention from the writers. A completely ridiculous and inconsistent attention depending on the episodes and interviews, but still we can say that they are trying to write this relationship with some form of objective behind it. But Rhaesaria doesn't have that. It's just an actor's improvisation, added just to, I suppose, shock the screenwriters while checking the diversity box, and which therefore has no impact on the scenario. The scene could have never happened and it wouldn't have changed anything. The scene once again wasn't even supposed to happen at all. And it feels good. Normally, an actor's improvisation is accepted because it adds something, an additional layer to what has already been written. It doesn't come just to be there without contributing anything to the story. Yes, clearly that kiss was just queerbaiting. I was disappointed and angry when it happened on screen. This means that the information had leaked, and I didn't believe it because it was so ridiculous from a plot point of view, and when I saw that if it was real and they had done this kiss... Suffice it to say that I no longer have any confidence in the writers of this show.

bonkers interaction with a coworker today where he tried to make smalltalk over tv shows and i mentioned that I'm watching Gotham, to which he replied "oh, I liked how that show started but the ending... They made the penguin gay :(" AND I-

first of all, i think my brain did a complete factory reset bc I am NOT used to hearing people say things like that outside of family gatherings but anyway:

that's just the ending to him??? like, i'm literally on season 2 and i swear to god that bird bitch is just short of making out with Ed every time they're on screen together what show was he even watching?????

BRANZYCRAFT WON BY .5 PERCENT!!!!! RHAT MIGHT STILL BE A TIE BUT WTV

Under the rules of the contest it's technically still up in the air whether he's won or not but idc if they team up bc so long as Branzy keeps on being in the competition, then to me tie is just a weird french spelling of win /silly

the new Wicked movie’s portrayal of Elphaba and Glinda and Arcane’s portrayal of Jayce and Viktor’s relationship are about the same amount queer coded, and I really don’t know how to feel about that considering Wicked was very Intentionally queercoded. They have a gay relationship in the books. The actresses did portray it pretty well but at the end of the day it’s all subtext that can be dismissed as being because they are ‘best friends.’ Meanwhile Jayce and Viktor hold hands and touch foreheads as the power they created and allowed into the world destroys everything. And the creators, for some unknown reason, find it necessary to emphasize that this is a purely platonic connection.

Idk, I just find it all very weird. In the Wicked movie, we have queer media created for queer people by queer people that is… decidedly tame; created to be palatable, for all of its merits, it’s hard to deny that.

And then in Arcane we have sapphic queer representation already with Caitlyn and Vi, but the (heterosexual) co creator of the show is on record saying that their relationship is brotherly. Which… Viktor confesses he has visited every reality and only Jayce can ever show him the power of the arcane. Jayce resurrects him from the dead. Jayce tells him that at the end of the day all he wants is his partner back… at the end of it all, they outright state that they care about each other way more than their research or inventions or anything else. In the end, it’s just them, obliterated by the thing they created together. It just all seems very (just sub explicitly) queer, and yet.

I would probably be fine with watching Wicked with my mother, and it would be uncomfortable to watch arcane with her during the Jayce and Viktor scenes alone (not even the caitvi.) Jayce and Viktor’s love is implicitly something more than platonic love. Maybe it’s just because society (and therefore individual people) view platonic touchy feely and emotional closeness between two men as more inherently unacceptable than between two women. It’s always suspicious between men, but fine between women who are more sentimental? or something.

I don’t even know what I’m trying to say here really. It’s just all very weird to me.

I’m not sorry
