#the epitome of "be gay

[p1ercemyh34rt]

No I will never shut up about the glorious rep in Dr stone, especially queer rep

I know going “I love how they don’t make a big deal of it and it’s so natural” then going and making a big deal about it doesn’t make sense but THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF STUFF I HOPED FOR FOR YEARS?? HELLO?? It’s written INTO their characters like it’s amazing

Senku, Stanley, Xeno, Ryusui, Francois , and Gen are the most like obvious.

Senku is clearly not heterosexual. I’m sorry no way a heterosexual man shows that much disgust when a girl confesses to him. I’m not saying he’s gay even if I HC him as such but at the very least he’s on the aromantic or asexual spectrum. I personally think if he wasn’t aroace he would be gay. Ik it’s probably a coping mechanism but it’s also funny to watch Senku flirt with guys whenever he’s terrified and or they’re abt to kill him

Stanley and Xenos relationship makes me want to drop to my knees and wail. So so beautiful. Xenos obviously a bad person but I love how they show his soft side for Stanley the way he looks at him when he’s a statue when he gives him little fake cigarettes it’s so elegant. Drst writes characters who are considered bad people to have soft sides like Xeno and also make the protagonists people who aren’t really saints at all, making them feel more human. Stanley is clearly in love with Xeno which is why he gets so damn peeved when he gets kidnapped and there’s no hetero explanation for the scene where Stanley gets revived again. And I love how they made Stanley the most masculine man who literally served in the military gay and wear makeup. Literally. Hes not afraid to wear lipstick like YES I ADORE IT. Again he SERVED IN THE MILITARY he has like a 10 pack and is masculine as hell and he’s still such a well written homosexual character who’s comfortable in his sexuality and gender. Epitome of masculinity fr fr.

Francois is enby, using they/them pronouns. I love how Ryusui says gender sex race nothing matters when it comes to sheer talent, which is why the writers don’t tell much too about them. They’re just pure talent and live to serve and even though they’re a butler they’re still not robotic and stuff, same with Senku- he’s not that into romance but he’s still definitely not nonchalant at all.

Ryusui , the greediest man in the world. He desires everyONE and everyTHING. My pansexual probably polyamorous KING. He don’t care abt ur gender or whatever he wants YOU!!

Gen Asagiri, this one.. he’s definitely queer... im not saying it just because he’s the most feminine out of all the men (though I LOVE how again they made a very feminine male character and made him so well written) , but because of the clear admiration he has towards Senku. You could say it’s not romantic that’s fine - QPR sengen still peak. In my opinion he’s either gay or bisexual. He barely also shows interest in women, when he does it’s clearly for keeping up his facade. Again, he’s genuinely mesmerized by Senku and what he does. I love sengen but if we’re talking canon, they’re definitely one sided. The way I see it, no way Gen doesn’t feel anything for Senku. Also cmon.. just look at the guy.. listen to his voice… cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmo-

Again I’m OBSESSED with the way their sexualities are written into their characters and personalities, and how it’s shown so well.. if that makes sense.. love this show so much please if you haven’t seen Dr Stone watch it if you want a show with glorious characters, story, and rep for neurodivergent people (autism specifically with Senku and Sai) and queer people.

DIMENSION TRAVEL STORY IDEA: Summary: Harriet "Harry" James Potter has travelled to an alternate dimension during a spell gone wrong (Kreacher's actually responsible cuz he cares about Harry since she's the Lady of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black) Harriet knows it's an alternate dimension cuz she finds a newspaper stand and lo and behold, who's on the front cover? Tom. Fucking. Riddle. But not the ugly Voldemort Tom Riddle she killed. No this is young Tom Riddle who grew up FINE AS HELL.

And he's on the front page cuz he's The Minister of Magic and guess what he's talking about.

Dumbledore.

He's talking about Dumbledore.

And not manipulative gramps Dumbledore whose beard is longer than my hair.

No.

We're talking about this one

You know why he's talking about this Dumbledore?

Because Albus. Percival. Fucking. Dumbledore decided to become the epitome of "Be Gay, Do Crime," with Gellert Grindelwald, his husband.

DUMBLEDORE IS A DARK LORD WITH HIS HUBBY

So Harriet is obviously freaking out and does the right thing.

She goes to a pub and drinks her sorrows away in Scottish Whiskey, (Thank you, Minny)

But Harry never makes reasonable decisions so when she finds a quill and paper, guess what she does.

She writes to Misinter Riddle.

But the drama doesn't end there.

Whenever Harriet does anything, whether she writes or talks about Tom Riddle, she doesn't speak in English.

She talks in Pareseltongue.

(Cuz she and tom are the only Parselmouths. I think.)

So Parseltongue.

Harriet writes in parseltongue to the Minister of Fucking Magic on his wrongdoings in her universe.

The letter literally looks like this:

ssss ssss sssssssss ss ssssss s sss ssssssss ssssss sss sss ss ssss ssssssss ssssssss ssss ssssss sssssss ss ss sssssssss and that transcribes to 

"Dear Lord Voldemort, or should I say Minister Riddle, you are an ugly noseless hairless evil snakey bastard in my dimension,"

and cuz she's spiteful, she signs it off with "You-Know-Who"

But the thing is Harriet never mentioned her name or who her parents were.

So when Minister Riddle receives this letter, he freaks out and then does everything he can to find this person.

Not to kill them.

But to woo them.

This kind, thoughtful person has travelled from another dimension just to stop him from becoming evil.

AND THEY'RE A PARSELMOUTH.'

THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY HIS SNAKE MATE. (cuz he killed all of the Gaunts and Riddles so they're not family)

You can bet ur ass he was squealing to Nagini at the thought of having another Parselmouth in the world with him.

He's obsessed.

(He's not tom riddle if he doesn't have possessive issues and his jealousy issues are just as bad.🤭🤭🤭🥰🥰🥰😩😩😩)

Like it's not a want.

It's a need.

He needs the writer of this letter to be with him forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and-

You probably get the idea.

Anyway, 1 year goes by.

Tom Riddle: I MUST FIND THIS PERSON AND MAKE THEM MINE

Harriet Potter: *forgets about even writing the letter* 

Tom is growing more obsessed as the days go by and then he meets a woman at a charity ball held for idk an organisation for potieneers? Potion Masters?

She's chatting up with Lord and Lady Dagworth-Granger cuz she's been working with them cuz they remind her of Hermione and she needed a job.

Anyway, he approaches the couple in hopes of talking to them and Harriet sees Minister Riddle approaching and quickly moves away to head to the drinks table.

And then lets out a breath of relief when she realises he wasn't heading for her.

She schmoozes for a few more minutes before calling it quits and heading out for fresh air.

The party is at the Dagworth-Granger's manor so she goes out to the gardens.

And hears a cry for help.

Her Gryffindor instincts push her to run towards the sound of danger.

But her Slytherin side made her hide behind the wall from where the cry of help had come from.

It was a witch being harassed by two wizards.

One of the wizards was holding her wand, taunting her.

While the other had begun to take off her outfit.

Before it could go any further, she brought the men's attention to her and with a flick of her wrist, Harriet had the men on their knees.

She then walked over to the one holding the witch's wand and grabbed it out of his hand, accidentally snapping his wrist in the process.

She gave the witch her wand back and accepted the shaky hug she received.

Harriet waited until the witch was out of sight before she turned to the men and smiled, watching as their faces fell into horror as they saw the fangs in her mouth.

(I'm in love with the prompt by a post on tumblr where  Basilisk!Harry is hugging Kneazle!Hermione and Dragon!Ron also wants his cuddles. I can't find the person who made it but I've lived by the idea that these would be their animagus forms if they ever performed the spell like James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew had done to become illegal animagi for Remus Lupin)

Harriet rips into their throats, feeds on them and then turns their bodies into ash with the fiendryfire spell.

She grabbed a mirror from her purse to erase the blood from her face and clothes and began to walk away lest anyone come looking for the wizards.

But, Harriet suddenly slammed into what felt like a wall.

A very warm wall.

Regaining her bearings, Harriet looked up to notice that the "wall" was MINISTER RIDDLE.

AND HE WAS HOLDING HER ARMS.

"Minister Riddle, what are you doing here?" She said pasting a smile on her face.

Shift of POV:

Minister Riddle internally sighed at being stuck in another ball instead of being at home, analysing the letter once again.

He was certain it was a woman who sent it as there was a red lipstick kiss on the paper after it was signed sss-ssss-sss (You-Know-Who)

His thoughts are cut off when Lady Dagworth-Granger asks her husband where Harriet is.

Who is Harriet? he muses but when Lord Dagworth-Granger offers to look in the gardens, Tom leaps at the chance to run away from the party.

He goes into the gardens aimlessly walking around for a few minutes, lost in his thoughts of his mysterious parselmouth when a witch comes out of nowhere and collides with him.

He uprighted her by placing his hands on her arms and looked on curiously as she seemed to freeze in place when she looked up to see that it was he she bumped into.

Tom Riddle is the one to freeze when she speaks.

"Minister Riddle, what are you doing here?" She says an innocent smile on her face as if she had no idea his whole world had just flipped on its axis.

Parseltongue.

She's speaking in parseltongue.

She's his parselmouth.

The one from another dimension.

But he had to clarify so he replies honestly for the first time in his life, in parseltongue, "I've been looking for you," 

"Searching for me? Whatever for?"

A boyish smile widens on his face before he forces it into a polite smile.

"The Lord and Lady Dagworth-Granger have been searching for you, Miss Harriet I believe you are?" He reverts to English to test if she notices the change but she doesn't.

She just replies in English, "Ah, I see. I disappeared for too long with my break from the stuffiness of the ball and yes, I am Harriet."

Harriet, he muses in his mind, no last name to give for me.

She extends her gloved hand for him to shake but Tom riddle reaches for both of her hands and turns them over to kiss them gently and forces himself not to give into the urge of nuzzling into her hands (well not yet at least) and without letting them go, he straightens to his full height to tower over her (giving him a thrill at knowing she was shorter, meaning he could easily pick her up and carry her, be it over his shoulders or bridal style) and replies, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Harriet. No last name?"

(Harriet has been wearing gloves cuz of the 'I must not tell lies' scars that cover her hands.)

Harriet smiles teasingly towards him and his cold heart thaws ever so, "I couldn't decide on a last name and I've decided I like the mysterious aura it gives me,"

Or maybe she couldn't risk using her real last name because she was from a different dimension, Tom muses in his mind, Nevertheless, Harriet Riddle has a lovely ring to it.

Harriet Potter: *staring confused at Tom Riddle as he smiles down at her

Tom Riddle: *Winter would be a lovely time to get married, wouldn't it?

I'm stopping here cuz it's a summary, not a story. Yes, I'm Evil.

Tell me if you like it tho.

I was this close *makes an inch between her fingers* to making this a Soulmate AU story.

Think of the angst that Harriet would go through all her life knowing that her soulmate's words to her are:  I've been looking for you

And it's an alternate hotter version of Tom Riddle, AKA THE BAD GUY WHO MURDERED HER PARENTS 

And think of how Harriet's words had motivated Tom his entire life to do his best to work hard (and cheat death) to live long enough for his soulmate to see him one day at a place be it a library or a gala or a hallway and ask him: Minister Riddle, what are you doing here?

Huh.

Maybe I should make them soulmates.

I need a timeline. fuck.

Um.

Riddle was educated at Hogwarts from 1938 to 1945, and was sorted into Slytherin House, a nod to his ancestor Salazar Slytherin.

Making Tom 34 cuz 1927 is the year Tom was born in if he went to Hogwarts in 1938 which would make him 11 in 1938 and 38-11 is 27 so 1927 is when he was born.

61-27=34 so Harriet is in 1961 but cuz of the time skip tom is 35 years old in 1962

Harriet was born in 1980 

The Second War technically began on 24 June, 1995, though was not officially announced by the Ministry until nearly a year later on 17 June, 1996, and ended on 2 May, 1998, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, after the death of the Dark Lord.

Which made Harriet 18 in 1998, 24 in 2004, 24 in 1961 and 25 in 1962

 but she deserves peace so the year Kreacher sent her back was 2004 which would make her 24 cuz he's horrified that she hasn't attempted to romance anyone since Cedric Diggory.

Tbh, if he was my bf I would never love again.

But then hubby "I would burn the world down for you and rebuild a new one from its ashes" tom riddle is here and I'm like Cedric who?

But none of them compare to (long list of titles, I'll research later.) Harriet James Potter.

I wasn’t going to say anything but the take was dismal so:

“””the she ra reboot is oversexualized, it’s wrong to sexualize and homoeroticize teenagers. They should have been adults in the show”””

-the reboot is oversexualizing teenagers

Hilarious given the right wing melt down over it too being woke and ugly for *checks notes* giving She Ra shorts to wear, having muscles, and not massive boobs. Did we seriously forget the entire controversy about them not being sexy enough. Y’all. They were seething and whining.

We can have a conversation about sexualizing teenagers! That is a problem that exists, and there’s a tricky nuance to enforcing beauty standards on teens, fetishizing youth in a predatory way, and acknowledging that teens may want to explore their own sexuality and its healthy to do so. Just, I’m not convinced sexualization is happening in SPOP but sure, later outfit designs do start to show more skin. When they’re literally growing up because hey, the show covers a few years and the main cast is in the 20-21 range by the end. And even then like

If that’s the epitome of sexualization you might be a puritan.

-It is wrong to homoeroticize teenagers

Loud incorrect buzzer sound! Rumor has it teenagers can and will be gay! If your problem is with shipping fictional teenagers, say that. I can’t imagine anyone who has ever been in a fandom will agree, but at least it wouldn’t be homophobic.

-The show should have been about adults.

It’s. It’s literally about child soldiers. That’s literally what the show is about. Would it be the same if Catra was an adult? No, because her story is about an abused and traumatized teenager desperate to have enough power she can’t be hurt anymore. She is young and inexperienced and rebelling and making horrible, selfish choices and it’s so deeply tied into her age because she’s just now growing up enough to be strong and clever enough to flip the tables. Would it be the same if Adora was an adult? No, because her story is about the horror of a teenager being turned into an idol, into a weapon of war. We literally watch how that shapes her as she steps into adulthood. Would it be the same if Glimmer was an adult? No, because her arc is going from a rebellious teenager demanding to be taken seriously and have more control, to her struggling when she gets shoved into adulthood and queenhood far too young as she looses her only present parent.

No, the story about teen soldiers crumpling under the war they’ve grown up in would not be better if it was about adults, because it would HAVE to be a different story with different themes. If you want to say they shouldn’t have been hot while doing so, fine whatever, but eviscerating the core premise in order to ‘fix’ it is a disservice to the story.

REMINDER THIS IS ON THE GAYEST CHARACTER!

Skizzleman

Number of submissions: 3 From: Hermitcraft, Life Series, Naked and Scared Headcanons: Gay, Reasons: - “I know you want my spit.” “..I could take a piss in your mouth.” “I can’t beat off four people!” “man meat.” “G-spot” “G-String” to name a few… hes the straightest man to the point of being a bit fruity - Skizz (le man) x ImpulseSV. They are very dad and them together is the ultimate power couple, in my unbiased opinion. - Impulse and Skizzleman act like a married couple sometimes and historians would call them best friends. - The Imp and Skizz podcast, nuff said. A co-creator has quite literally said that they are NOT beating the allegations. Skizz was almost an HOUR late to something he had planned because he wanted to hang out with Impulse for longer. - he is the goofiest gay dad lesbians want as a father.

Smallishbeans

Number of submissions : 7 From : Hermitcraft, Life Series, Empires SMP, SOS SMP Headcanons : Bisexual, Gay Reasons: - shipped with everyone and is obsessed with fellow (male) mcyt ethoslab - Obsessed with four different guys but denies it also has a thing for neck kisses - Talks about neck kisses and makes jokes abt how everyone is obsessed with him - Etho. Jimmy. Need I say more? - he is married to a woman but so intensely committed to the bit that he’ll put that aside - He has a “child” with Sausage in Empires, Etho exists, he has called Jimmy “babe” (this doesn’t really count but he’s open up episodes of Hermitcraft with something along the lines of “Hello idiots welcome back to ‘why are these these men obsessed with me SMP’” sooooo ya:D - He’s the definition of a chaotic bisexual. He is the epitome of ‘be gay do crime’. - He has a wife and despite this he still has men chasing him, he calls Jimmy ‘babe’, he’s obsessed with a Canadian man who he also called ‘babe’ after being complemented by said Canadian man while playing the Canadian man’s game (this is Etho if you haven’t caught on by now), and I swear to god everywhere he goes he manages to flirt with and attract even more men. - he's obsessed with etho

Alright so my mom is like the epitome of a general audience member. Doesn't know what ships are, isn't in the fandom, knows no fan theories. She also frequently says "they can't be gay, they said they're straight" when she hears about a gay ship. But tonight she called me and said "hm, it looks like buck is in love with Eddie. I wonder if that'll be the reason he comes back" and then said "I knew it last week, it was obvious buck had at least a crush, I thought they were gonna kiss in that last scene" so like 🤷‍♀️ seems like general audience is finally picking up the vibes

[maxdibert]

Do you think James would ever fall in love with Regulus? (I'm not bashing jegulus shippers I'm just curious how you see their fanon dynamic and if it's even plausible to happen in canon)

James Potter canonically spent 7 years chasing after Lily Evans, to the point of saying things like he’d stop bullying her friend if she went out with him. In my eyes, along with Remus (who at 38 would impregnate a much younger girl and then run off), he represents the epitome of toxic male heterosexuality. I mean, I know Rowling has a thing for pseudo-harassing macho types because she has an unhealthy need for male validation, something she demonstrates through her female characters and how they interact with the men around them, but James is the textbook example of a persistent jerk who won’t stop until you go out with him, constantly pestering you until you give in. In the Muggle world, he’d be that sleazy guy at the club.

What I’m trying to say is that I don’t understand how anyone could even think that a character with such utterly average straight-dude behavior could be gay. Like, headcanon whatever you want, I’m not going to argue with that, but honestly, I just see him as a textbook unpleasant straight guy, so no, I don’t think he could ever fall in love with Regulus. I also don’t think he could even if Regulus were a girl because James needs to maintain his image as that mega-progressive, pro-Muggle, pureblood guy, and validating his image as a wealthy man “concerned” about the working class involves not ending up with someone from an aristocratic pureblood family because it doesn’t fit his brand.

I also don’t think he’d be interested in hooking up with his best friend’s brother—it just doesn’t align with his character. And I don’t think Regulus would give a damn about his brother’s friends or the kind of people he surrounded himself with either.

top five favorite pjo characters?

okay you have definitely opened a tomb here LMFAOOO

1) no surprise to literally anyone. my boy jason grace 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 he has my heart and i will forever be ranting abt him especially to @sacrifical-lamb-core !!1!1! honestly there is so much about him that i never picked up on as a child. to me i headcannon him as gay for starters right? growing up i always DID love him. but i also feel like i kind of adopted him 😭 i remember the internet hating him so much jt was like FUCK YOU I HAD LITERALLY NO OPINION ABT HIM BUT SINCE U ALL DESPISE HIM HE IS NOW MY SON. im a big believer hes gay for a lot of reasons but i feel like i need to make a separate post about that 😭,. he is so traumatized 🫶 valgrace 5eva

2) ok basic ik…. nico di angelo ! besides loving nico’s character sm i saw myself in him a lot growing up. im a lesbian but was very closeted reading pjo 😭!!!! i could really relate to how he felt especially this idea of having to grow up too fast and not wanting to be gay but then like. HE found his place. if he could then maybe i could too. also im pagan but SPECIFICALLY a medium so uh !! that in common too 😭 also his character is so interesting i luv him so sososo much :3

3) okay like i know i already mentioned valgrace but i also love leo im sorry 😞….. i also see leo as gay!!! honestly i HATED leo growing up 😭 i think it is because liek. i did not understand the concept of headcannons growing up 🙁 ,. so i was like ok why tf is he like this and being a closeted lesbian im likr i do NOT get the hype!!!! but then i got really into valgrace and the lost trio and i luv them!!! (piper gets an honorable mention but i didnt want to do EVERYONE in thr lost trio LMFAO)

4) okay we getting controversial here 🤗 this past year ive gotten so fixated on beryl grace and i am such a beryl defender,. yes ofc how she treated jason and thalia wasnt okay!!! on the other hand, she is literally an abuse survivor. zeus (from pjo!!!) i didnt have phone access for awhile and i had a lot of timr to think about things 😭!!! how i see it is like. imagine if a GOD told u he loved u. someone who can literally kill / hurt life with a snap of their fingers. someone who is so much more than human. a fucking god tells u he loves u. imagine what that would do to someone? she literally went crazy. how she was written is like “she was a famous hollywood star and she was never a good person and just wanted to fuck zeus!!!” uhm no. ❤️. god . i just wanna know her backstory sooo badddd. like what made her want to go to hollywood? my personal headcannon is she had such a shit home life growing up she just wanted someone to notice her and so hey!! hence she wanted lots of attention cause she never got any growing up. then here comes A GOD who gives her exactly that!! she loved him. imagine a god tells u he loves u and bsfr its (pjo) zeus he probably made up some bs about how she was the only one he wanted and all that shit. he tells u he wants u then once u have a child, he leaves. u go mad. u just wanted one person to notice u. love YOU. and the one person (who was THE KING OF THE GODS ) ups and leaves u with a newborn child. it would drive anyone to insanity.

5) i have a lot of honorable mentions but vv similar to nico: will solace also meant sosoos much to me growing up. i saw myself in him. this happy go lucky guy who is literally the epitome of sunshine and though i didn’t understand it as much as i do now, how dark his life really is. i would DEFINITELY be a child of apollo :3!!!! i could get really into it but as a child him (and nico) were my saviors. they will always mean sm to me 🫶

[petalkitshadow]

I saw your PKS Headcanons and now i cant stop thinking....what If mapleShade and freckleWish actually had feelings for eachother but they didnt know what to make of It because yknow surpressed lesbians in a homophobic clan but they still are soooo inlove yet confused and when mapleshade lies that the kits were birchfaces freckleWish is like "this is the PERFECT excuse for me to spend more time with her and take care of these kits as If It were my own- because ofc they uh are my brothers so they are my kin" but ofc It was all thrown off the window when ravenwing revealed everything and homophobicStar kicked maple and her kits off the clan and ofc frecklewish feels alot of anger towards maple at this point because everything was a lie to cover up her half clan kits and she was inlove with a random riverclan tom??? She was heartbroken and felt betrayed so she turned her back on maple but after maple was gone freckle sometimes would think to herself regretting it and missing maple and the kits anyways i love some angst

Yep you hit the nail right on the head! I'm exploring it more in the Frecklefic, but i hinted at it a bit in PkS as well, such as here in Ch 11:

Freckle and Maple's relationship was... complicated. Like in canon, the clan had high hopes for Mapleshade - granddaughter of Redstar, many thought she would be deputy, and maybe leader eventually, including Frecklewish. As such, she was close with the leaders' kits; best friends with Birchface and Frecklewish. Oakstar wanted to keep the "strong blood" together.

Freckle and Maple both had romantic feelings for each other, but Oakstar's ThunderClan (as well as the ThunderClan of his predecessors, Seedstar and Redstar) is highly utilitarian and conservative. Everything must be done to serve the clan, and there's a bit of gender essentialism thrown in as well. She-cats should have kits, to provide the Clan with more warriors. Oakstar was giddy at the idea of merging the bloodlines of two leaders (such a shame seedstar was so ambitious and never had kits like a good she-cat, he says)

Well anyways, because of this climate, same-sex couples were shamed and ostracized by the community, for their inability to provide good, wholly-thunderclan kits to the clan. (no, adoption and surrogacy don't exist, whats that? we cant challenge the nuclear family model that keeps bloodlines so clear and separates the leaders from the ordinary warriors, says Oakstar!) It was kind of an unspoken rule to not be gay, not speak about it, and such. Thus, Frecklewish and Mapleshade never realized their own feelings. But for some reason they just really loved sharing a nest, raising kits together, being physically affectionate, etc. very much the epitome of "they seem like good friends", as Petalkit put it lol

But, these feelings, I think that's part of why Frecklewish reacted so strongly. She felt betrayed, not just for her brother's sake, but for her own. She felt as crushed as if her own wife cheated on her. Which of course, isn't what happened at all, as they werent together and didnt even realize their own feelings, but that didn't make it hurt any less. Maple on the other hand, was so crushed that the one cat who'd been by her side for years was now against her. Maybe in a better world things couldve worked out... but this isn't a better world, and both cats have to live (well. after-live) with what they've done for all eternity!

...but maybe there's a chance things can be settled, when they finally meet in the dark forest 👀

As a multishipper and enjoyer of ruikasa, I am begging this fandom to stop forcing this mlm take down everyone's throats. I love the canon dynamic that tsukasa and rui have, which, I'm not sure if you've noticed, is explicitly platonic. It sucks that people are so fucking yaoi brained that these male characters who are close friends just *have* to be kissing for them to be interesting. No fuck you actually, there's plenty of potential for them without making it romantic. Please drop the notion that these characters exist to be shipped together.

It really bothers me seeing people genuinely say 'pandemonium was the ruikasa event'. Pandemonium is about rui enjoying an event with his FRIENDS that he wasn't expecting to enjoy so much. Rui then having a heart to heart with tsukasa and thanking tsukasa for helping him change is a sweet moment they share that shows how their bond has benefited them... how is 'thank you for helping me change' romantic? My closest friend has helped me change, and I've said that to her, and I didn't say it with the subtext of 'I'm in love with you', I just wanted to remind her that she's had a positive impact on my life. Why does this entire event have to be boiled down to the one scene that's apparently the epitome of yaoi? Rui doesn't exist to be in love with tsukasa. Rui exists to be a character who grows and changes, who struggles with his friendships and has a hardened view of the world because of his past, but also a view that the world can be a happier place if he tries to show that to people. Turning him into a machine that kisses tsukasa is a fucking disgusting way of treating the genuine development we've seen of him over the course of the game.

To make it about shipping again, I've also seen the take that it's gross to ship rui with female characters because 'he's so gay coded'. Buddy, my best friends would be 'gay coded' if they were fictional, and they're the straightest people on this earth. Coding is an implication that does not mean canon. Rui can make a gay joke and wear the gay earring and... What?! He can still like women?! My favourite rui ship is honarui, a shocking take by the standards of the fandom. Rui is exclusively a gay man, and honami can only be shipped with Leo need and kanade because she's so sapphic coded I guess. It irks me in a way I can't explain that things have to be so black and white that it's only acceptable to ship specific characters with the same gender and the same characters over and over. I'm tired of honakana, I'm tired of ruikasa, I want to explore this dynamic that I haven't gotten to see enough of in canon. And it's fun to explore that dynamic. Is it wrong to have fun when writing about characters I like? Because reading and writing the same shlock for ruikasa is fucking boring.

I don't know if this is structured well but my main point is: be fucking creative. Write a platonic ruikasa fic and don't make it romantic by the end. Don't interpret every single interaction between same sex characters as inherently romantic. Don't see coding as the be all and end all of canon. Explore something new. Have some fucking fun and stop shoving the same bullshit into the mainstream because people who enjoy these ships do get tired of it eventually

"i need to be a cis man with long hair" and you also need to be tall and skinny and white and have a straight nose and brown hair right? that's also part of it? "ugh the gender of sweater vests" right because the guys on pinterest are always wearing oversized shirts to exaggerate how small they are and have their belts really tight around their waist and have no curves in their body right. there are other ways to be gay and trans and a major faggot can we please start talking about people who are fat and non white and have skin issues and injuries and disabilities and how sexy they (we) are because david bowie and fucking hozier and all these guys you think are the epitome of gender would have NOTHING without fat dykes.

While Riley, Xander, and Lindsey all read very much as repressed bisexuals, it's important to note that they're all three different flavors of repressed bisexuals.

Xander doesn't even know what bisexuality is. He clearly wants Spike (and also Angel and Riley to some extent) but he likes girls so he can't be gay... right? He just has no clue that being bi is possible. I think if Giles (elder bisexual) sat down and explained bisexuality to Xander, he might Get It. Then again, he's also got some internalized insecurities about his own masculinity, but I think with time, once Xander figured out that he was bi, he would be able to accept himself, and be happier for it.

Riley knows that it's possible to be bi, and probably knows full well that he wants Spike (and Angel... and Graham...) but he just. Does not want to believe it. "I'm not into men. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. If I say it 100 times it will be true. I'm not gay." I don't think Riley needs it spelled out for him like Xander does. He really just needs time to accept it. Riley is fighting demons and the demons are bisexuality.

Lindsey knows that he wants to screw Angel. He wants it so bad. He probably knows what being bi is. Lindsey to me reads as the epitome of "Yeah I'm probably bi but I have a job right now so i dont really care about that." (the job in question is trying to get into Angel's pants beat Angel). I actually think Lindsey might be the least repressed of the three, I think he's fully aware of the fact that he wants Angel, especially by S5 of AtS.

[saveahorserideaneddie]

i really want a fic of eddie realising him and buck have been falling in love the entire time.

I keep seeing posts (and even had someone tell me) that it’d be unrealistic for Eddie to be in love with Buck and not realise. Like not even think of him as an option. 

But that’s such a real queer person thing- i’ve lived that experience. I’m a women and despite all the times I admired other women it took forever for it to click for me.

I mean I grew up with accepting parents and kind friends and even queer people on tv. I remember looking at girls as much as I looked at boys. And yet I still had the reoccurring thought “I could be gay, I mean i’m not- but I could be. But most people aren’t gay and i’m most people”. (gay being used here in my head to mean “not straight”) AND YET despite it all I didn’t realise i was Bi until I was much older.

And even then, I’d had at least two long term crushes without realising they were crushes before it clicked. 

(I kid you not- it took a drag queen talking to me like i was a toddler for it to click, but that’s a whole other story SO-) 

Whether or not Eddie already knows he’s gay (or demi or whatever) doesn’t really make a difference, cause it’s that same sort of heteronormative internalising that causes these feeling to not be understood. 

Especially for Eddies character who’s had this messy norm with Shannon for so long, a stable thing to grasp (even when their relationship was a mess) and then her death and him chasing to find that weak grasp to SOMETHING again- something that can be another excuse to not go looking for himself. 

Like he’s internalised this behaviour of, “if i’m in a relationship, I don’t have to look deep and figure out why it’s not working” and never quite realising that maybe the reason it’s not working is cause he’s trying to replace something that was never really real.

(Speaking of, Eddie and Shannon are the epitome of loml by taylor swift. I mean- “we were just kids babe” “from one kiss to getting married” “something counterfeits dead” “what a valiant roar, what a bland goodbye” “i’m combing through the band of lies- “i’ll never leave” never mind”) 

babe you are speaking to the POSTER CHILD of raised in a religious household and convinced themselves they weren’t queer until it was staring them in the face

the biggest issue is that most (again i said most before yall try to jump down my throat) of the people who are against buddie are either straight people who don’t understand the nuances of queerness, or queer people who didn’t grow up in environments of oppression and have never felt the need to hide themselves

i used to tell my parents i had crushes on girls only to later realize that it was because i just had a genuine platonic connection with them (two of whom are my best friends and are also queer women) and i used to get confused about what the difference between attraction and admiration was— something a LOT of queer people go through without realizing.

comphet is literally such a widespread phenomenon that people truly don’t realize just how common it is— like even queer people don’t realize they probably know several “straight” people who are still lying to themselves bc sexuality isn’t black and white— it exists on a spectrum. I’m not saying that to invalidate anyone’s straightness, im just saying i know multiple men who are my dads age (60s +) who only recently came to the realization that they were gay.

it’s genuinely so disappointing to see some of the people in this fandom pushing homophobic talking points from history just to disprove a character’s implied queerness bc they view that character’s queerness as a threat to their ship.

anyway, i agree eddie and shannon’s relationship is soooooo unconscious lavender marriage coded to me and there are SO MANY beautiful TS lyrics that apply to that… another song that i really feel like captures Eddie’s pov of the relationship is Home by One Direction… especially these lyrics:

🏳️‍🌈 heartslabyul!!

Yay, my favorite dorm! Thank you so much for the ask!!

❤️ Riddle Rosehearts: gay demisexual trans guy (he/him)

I know this is almost exactly what you said in your response to my ask about him, and I honestly 1000% agree with your reasoning. I will also admit the way I view him is heavily influenced by my own experiences with gender and sexuality (minus the demisexual part). During the timeline of the game, I see Riddle as pre-everything, likely due to discouragement or fearmongering by his mother. Even after moving out of his mother's house, I honestly don't really see him transitioning medically; however, I think that would be a conclusion he would come to on his own after extensive research rather than due to his mother's influence. I also think he would use neopronouns if he didn't feel like he would be breaking some unspoken rule by doing so. I don't really feel the need to explain why I think he's gay to be honest, but as for his demisexuality, I will introduce my Treyrid agenda. I feel like the connection Riddle forms with Trey in their childhood ultimately blossoms into romantic and sexual feelings after reuniting at Night Raven. Since this would likely be his only experience with such feelings up to that point, I can see it greatly influencing the way he views his own attraction from that point forward.

❤️ Ace Trappola: aromantic bisexual cis guy (he/him)

I'll admit, I don't really have a ton of specific thoughts about Ace. Most of this headcanon comes purely from vibes. Ace feels like a fuckboy to me. He feels like the type of guy that would hook up with dudes and then make some excuse as to why it isn't gay because "we kept our socks on, guys!" and "what's a little dick-sucking between bros?". He'd probably treat sex pretty casually and thus not really understand why people think that because he fucks dudes he has to be gay. I think as he gets older and works past some of his internalized homophobia though, he'd probably end up coming to terms with his attraction towards guys and identifying as bisexual. As for the aromantic part, I feel like I need only direct you to his Suitor Suit vignette. This is one of many lines that sparked this half of my headcanon.

❤️ Deuce Spade: bisexual trans guy (he/him)

This headcanon honestly rubbed off on me from my boyfriend. He's a bi trans guy who projects heavily on Deuce, so I basically absorbed his thoughts and ideas through osmosis. I honestly kinda just want to direct you to this post of his because his Deuce takes are so perfect I have nothing to add to them. I love you sukeban girl gang delinquent Deuce. I love you Deuce who is attracted to anyone who could beat him up. Unlike Riddle, I think Deuce is on T by the time he's enrolled at Night Raven. This is partially because I think his mom would be way more supportive than Riddle's would be.

❤️ Trey Clover: cis gay guy (he/him)

Back at it again with my Treyrid agenda! I really enjoy seeing and writing relationships between cisgender gay guys and transgender gay guys, since I personally feel that there's a strong sense of gender euphoria to be found in that situation: for someone who likes men to see you fully as a man and be attracted to you as a man. All that's to say that my headcanon for Riddle has heavily influenced the way I view Trey as well, since their relationship is one I'm extremely attached to. I don't really have any specific support or evidence for this one. Like with Ace, it's sorta just the vibes I get from him. Trey is like the epitome of that "I'm not gay enough for the gays" Reddit post to me.

❤️ Cater Diamond: bisexual & nonbinary (they/he)

I'm so sorry that like 3/5 of these headcanons have just been me going "it's about the vibes" instead of properly explaining them. Sometimes for me it truly is just about the vibes, and Cater gives me the vibes of someone who doesn't fuck with either side of the gender binary. I do think they still present as mostly masc and tend to avoid more traditionally feminine clothes and accessories due to trauma involving their older sisters, but I also don't really think they fully click with the idea of manhood either. They're literally just hanging out. Also, I may not be fully informed on this given that I only play on the EN server, but isn't bisexual Cater basically confirmed in the JP version? I've seen a lot of posts supporting it, so like... is it even a headcanon at this point?

~Send me a 🏳️‍🌈 and a character name for my gender/sexuality headcanons!~

shipped with everyone and is obsessed with fellow (male) mcyt ethoslab

Obsessed with four different guys but denies it also has a thing for neck kisses

Talks about neck kisses and makes jokes abt how everyone is obsessed with him

Etho. Jimmy. Need I say more?

he is married to a woman but so intensely committed to the bit that he’ll put that aside

He has a “child” with Sausage in Empires, Etho exists, he has called Jimmy “babe” (this doesn’t really count but he’s open up episodes of Hermitcraft with something along the lines of “Hello idiots welcome back to ‘why are these these men obsessed with me SMP’” sooooo ya:D

He’s the definition of a chaotic bisexual. He is the epitome of ‘be gay do crime’.

He has a wife and despite this he still has men chasing him, he calls Jimmy ‘babe’, he’s obsessed with a Canadian man who he also called ‘babe’ after being complemented by said Canadian man while playing the Canadian man’s game (this is Etho if you haven’t caught on by now), and I swear to god everywhere he goes he manages to flirt with and attract even more men.

he's obsessed with etho

WHATEVER IS GOING ON WITH HER AND PEARL HONESTLY

1) The content creator herself is bisexual so she has to be in the running for this 2) In Hermitcraft S10 when Pearl was talking about wearing only a salmon head Gem said, “‘Naked with a salmon head! Can’t wait to see the fanart of that” 3) When Pearl kept failing to kill Gem in Wild Life Gem said that it was cute when she was pathetic and insisted upon it when Pearl denied it 4) There’s more examples like the doomed borderline break-up Gem and Pearl had in Secret Life and the bitter ex act Gem had in Wild Life but it’s 1:31AM and I am tired so goodnight 5) Oh yeah and Gem literally has the bisexual flag on her shoe

Susie HCs ????

Oooo I have a lot, so I'll do a lil overview of my thoughts on her I hope that's okay!

The ver of Susie in my head is more of like a feral gremlin child. She is THE weird kid and the epitome of "be gay do crime". She became close friends with Julie and Joey in middle school and has a lot of shared interests with Julie (they spend a lot of time at Julie's house listening to music, painting each other's nails, and talking about different ways to kill people Susie doesn't like. Y'know, just girl stuff)

She's shy, anxious, and overall pretty distrusting of people outside of The Legion + Jeff due to being bullied a lot. Probably invented "don't talk to me I can't hear you over my music" by listening to her Walkman 24/7

She is the youngest of 3 siblings: her two older siblings have already moved out. She isn't as academically or athletically apt as her siblings were, which makes her parents quite harsh on her, to say the least.

Her voice sounds like Julia Nardin's (look up Nancy Drew Ghost of Thornton Hall, she's the VA for Addison).

Her personal reason for being part of The Legion is that she enjoys the sense of power and control it gives her, since she normally feels powerless in her everyday life.

She is pretty obsessed with Julie and gets jealous easily. She has a plastic bag of her stray hair strands and she tries to steal little things from Julie (basically Jenny by Studio Killers). Susie is more overtly needy than Julie is, but they both share the same kinda mindset of "this is my *ahem* girl best friend and I think I might pop your head off if you stare at her for too long"

Her dynamics with Joey and Frank (copy pasted from one of my many random notes docs about these goobers):

Joey is the big brother of the group, and Susie receives the most of that. He doesn’t always understand what Susie goes through, but he always tries his best to listen and cheer her up. Susie confides in Joey often: he tries to support Susie whereas Julie tries to fix her problems, usually with faulty (although well meaning) solutions. The two are far more relaxed than Frank and Julie and feel that the other’s presence is soothing.

Frank and Susie are the most distant in the group, but they are still good friends. Frank is a bit more invested in the friendship than Susie is, but she does still care. He views her like a little sister and empathizes with her about her difficult home life, which is their main connection. Frank builds Susie up and pushes her to action where she is normally sedentary. Susie is initially very closed off to Frank due to jealousy and overprotectiveness of Julie, but she eventually does let him in and they both mutually appreciate the support of one another.

Lastly two lil random things about her: she HATES being called short (she's 5'4, the shortest in The Legion) and will probably stab your kneecaps if you say it to her. Her favorite Legion Night activity is graffiti.

I hope this isn't totally word vomit!! This is probably very disorganized so I hope it's okay to read :,)
