#the fact that she keeps also consistently assuming im gay like

[redysetdare]

I do not know how to express how fucking wild it is that I litrally had to come out THREE TIMES TO MY PARENTS Over being AroAce because they:

A) Keep forgetting B) Think it's a phase

I literally had to come out to my mom AGAIN LAST YEAR because my mom thought a friend and I were dating and responded to me saying i had told her i was aroace with "I didn't know if you were over that"

[queered-into-oblivion]

🎥💎💕 for both? :o

took a while because both me and moon wanted to answer for our respective fixations - demifiend

persona 3:

scenes- how you get everyone together and go to the park, how fuuka gets trapped in the apparatus. how you know its all going to end soon and it feels painfully melancholic but happy. you get to have everyone together for once. it means a lot to me and makes me cry every time i get to it; its so final but so loving

how he specifically asks to go with everyone too. and how not all players will even see it, i hope everyone does though because its magical

trivia/etc- obvious things like how you can revive shinjiro/chidori. even though chidoris is pretty damn hidden and not even we knew about it until the 3rd or something play-through

{you have to talk to junpei every day after chidoris death and she revives but with no memories. theres debates on it in the fandom but i like that junpei gets something nice; he deserves it}

something thats not really a fact but been thinking about it is the limited merch they released for the movies. the aigis headphones for winter of rebirth were really fucking good specifically and us and our friend actually found them in almost mint condition in a mandarake and managed to buy them just a week ago

character- akihiko sanada is the most amazing fucking character and people need to love him more

hes so autistic, loves fighting and fitness so much its his special interest and he uses it to navigate how he sees everything. caring, one track minded but in the best way

intelligent in his own way, as much as arena wants to deny it. he was the one to figure out the full moon link and everything; he’s consistently known for good marks in school even if its with mitsurus help. hes *smart* really damn smart

also his drive to protect everyone and keep honouring miki and shinjiro after their deaths is fucking beautiful; dont care what anyone says the scream at shinjis picture was heartbreaking and i hope they manage to capture it in reload. god i love akihiko

im not biased dont look at me /lh {it said to do one otherwise id do one for aigis and ryoji too. could do all of sees and bebe and akinari and the old couple and everyone, i love them all}

smt nocturne:

scenes- thats a hard one… hell biker/mara summoning is really funny but the conception/raidou joining your party/manikin slaughter make me emotional still

raidou joining just because im really gay and it was kind of sweet. the other two because they’re sad. especially the manikins, they all deserved so much better

trivia- basic things that i like: smtv being a sequel to nocturne is really cool especially with how the nahobino plot plays out but i wish the story of smtv was… better in canon/took longer than 3 days

also the demifiends english va was the director for the english dub which is interesting

character- does raidou count? im making raidou count

but if not, futomimi easily no contest hands down. i love him, i love the manikins, they had the best reason, fuck you chiaki

also i don’t know if its me being biased or what the game does but assuming its the second i like how the game makes you feel kinship with them for being not able to make a real reason. and i like how they tried anyway

-Chapstick- Pansy Parkinson x Female Reader

    ☼-☪-☼

   Kody: the lesbians have risen

  Request: pansy x reader where they are friends & reader loves chapsticks very much because chapped lips also the taste and the smell are cute ?? and then she has different variants of it. Pans could smell it sometimes when she purposely gets closer, got curious one time and asked for it and she casually gave it. One time Pans asked what flavour was the one on her lips right now because it's different from the usual??? and reader was like see for yourself and then they ki- IM SO GAY FOR PANSY PARKINSON - 💐

  House: Slytherin

  Possible Triggers / Warnings: lesbian power couple baby, cursing, y/n being a bottom, making out. 

    ☼-☪-☼

   since day one you had been best friends with Pansy Parkinson. Even in your small little friend group that consisted of Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, and Theodore Nott, you just gravitated towards Pansy more. Maybe it was because you were both girls or the fact that you had met her first.

   throughout your school years you and Pansy were like a power duo. Some were scared, some wanted your title, and the rest despised you both. Even with all the popularity you weren’t mean or cude to people who didn’t deserve it. Kill them with kindness is what you’d always say.

   around your 6th year is when you enveloped your slight chapstick addiction. You had noticed your lips become more flaking and chapped as you grew up so over the summer when you visited america you bought a pack with a variety of different flavors. 

   Pansy made fun of you at first because of how quickly you had started to buy more and more until you had a collection. After all the teasing you two developed a sort of game you could say. Anytime Pansy could smell the chapstick on you she would try and guess what scent it was.

   at first it was cute and friendly, but out of nowhere she would grab your face and bring it close to hers so she could smell the chapstick. It would be so sudden and make your stomach twist in a way you had never felt before, especially when she would send you a wink after she backed away. 

   after a lot of thinking and ‘therapy’ sessions with Theo you had come to the conclusion that you had fell for your best friend. It was very cheesy, but it was true. Pansy Parkinson had stolen your heart and you terrified at the power she held over you.

    ☼-☪-☼

   7th year

   you were practically running towards the field, hoping the outfit you chose would keep you warm enough in the nippy weather. You did not want to be late to Draco and Blaises quidditch match against Gryffindor. Of course you cheered on your friends, who wouldn’t?

   you began to climb up the stairs to make your way into the stands. Once you make it to the top you gaze through the crowd and spot the familiar black haired female leaning back to look up at the sky. She looked very focused on something in the sky.

   Pansy was wearing a large black sweater with some kind of white t-shirt sticking out from the bottom with matching black pants and shoes. She looked in casual clothes- in anything really. You make your way through the crowd, pushing past a couple people while mumbling ‘excuse me’ and such.

   you take a seat next to Pansy who looks back down to face you “Thought you weren’t gonna show. You look nice by the way” she comments and you shake your head. You were wearing a black crop with matching pants and a oversized navy blue hoodie. 

   your stomach twist like many times before. “Thanks” you reply before suddenly realizing you were missing a friend “Where’s Theo?” you ask. Pansy lifts up her hand to point in front of her. You follow her finger until you spot the back of Theos head “He wanted to be closer to watch Blaise”

   you nod once before you heard Lee Jordan begin the announcements.

    ☼-☪-☼

   while watching a breeze blew past you and towards Pansy. The Slytherin girls nose scrunched up as she smelled something, something fruity? (because your gay duh) She turns to look at you, brown eyes narrowed. You felt her eyes on you and face her “What?-” 

   Pansy grabs your face with both of her hands. You could feel the cold metal of the rings she wore against your cheek. Pansy leans in close, her nose centimeters from your mouth. You could hear her sniff as your face began to feel hot. 

   she was so close. The smell of hrt minty breath from her gum she had been chewing made everything in your body flare up. It was only a second, but felt like hours before she pulled away “Your wearing strawberry” Pansy had a cocky smirk on her face as she spoke, her hands slowly falling from your face

   you blink mindlessly as you reach into the packet of your jacket. You pull out the tube of strawberry chapstick. Pansy’s smirk only grows wider “Knew it, what's my prize?” she asked. Your face twist a bit. A prize? She had never asked for one before.

   “What do you want?”

   “A Kiss”

   your mouth opens a bit to speak, but you choke on your words instead. Pansy lets out a chuckle and turns to face forward again “I’m only kidding”

    ☼-☪-☼

   you were walking alongside Pansy, Theo, Draco and Blaise. You were all leaving the quidditch field and head back to the common room. Slytherin had won and the team was going out for butterbeer at the three broomsticks. Draco and Blaise had opted out saying they wanted to celebrate with close friends.

   just you guys, how sweet.

   “So- did Y/n and Pans. I flew past you guys and for a brief second and i swore i saw you guys making out” Draco spoke making Blaise and Theo laugh. “You guys were what now? I knew you were close, but no that close damn” Draco adds were made the boys laugh even harder.

   you roll your eyes playfully and walk behind behind Draco. He doesn’t see you as you wack the back of his head “Ow!” he exclaimed. Pansy chuckles “We were not making out by the way. I was smelling her chapstick” she explains. The boys nod and silence consumes you all after that.

   that is until Theo speaks up “That’s still gay”

    ☼-☪-☼

   you all spent the night together, talking, goofing around, and drinking firewhiskey. It was a fun idea at the time, but you all got wasted more than you’d like to admit. Your E/c eyes open slowly and your met with skin? You lift your head up, you were laying on top of Pansy.

   Y/n.exe has stopped working

   she was wearing her black flannel pants as well as her matching sports bra. Your heart might have stopped right then and there. You look down at what you were wearing and noticed you only had your undergarments and Pansy’s sweater that she had worn at the game. 

   before having time to freak the hell out you heard the black haired girl mumble under you “morning” she mumbles, her eyes opening slowly. You give her a half smile before sitting up “Um- how did- how did i end up here?” you ask. Pansy uses her elbows to prop herself up.

   she pushes her bangs from her face. They had began to grow over her eyes, but refused to cut them after you said you liked them longer. “You got a bit tipsy so i brought you here to rest. As well as those three” she says and points to the floor. You raise a brow and crawl to the edge of the bed.

   on the floor was Blaise and Theo cuddling on the ground. Cute. Draco was laying next to Blaise curled up in a ball with a blanket over him. Also cute. “Damn, i guess you played mom for a bit huh?” you joke, sitting back down on the bed. 

   Pansy shrugs her shoulders “You could say that. Your hug things in your sleep, did you know that?”

   “I’m sorry what?”

    ☼-☪-☼

   later in the day you were in your own dorm room studying for an exam in charms you had the next day. While writing down a few notes you heard your door open. You place the quill down and turn in your chair to see Pansy at the door. 

   she had on a black t-shirt with a sheer long sleeve one underneath, black pants with a white dragon that stopped above her ankles and black socks with checkered vans. Pansy had a plate of food in each hand “Theo told me you hadn’t eaten lunch yet so i brought you some.”

   “You look cute by the way” she adds with a wink

   you smile lightly and pat the chair next to yours “I’m guessing you came to eat with me as well?” you ask and she nods, taking a seat. She places the plate of food in front of you and places her down as well. Pansy began to move your textbooks around as you reached into the pocket off your black jeans.

   you pulled out your new chapstick ‘fruit punch’ and took off the cap. You smear it on your bottom lip before popping the cap back on and into your pocket while rubbing both your lips together to apply it evenly. Pansy smells something fruity again and smiles lightly.

   except for this smelt different. Way different. Nothing you had worn before.

   Pansy looks at you as you grab a fork with a amused smirk “New chapstick?” she asked. You noticed her playful tone. Turning in your sea you face Pansy “Maybe, maybe not” you say vaguely, shrugging your shoulders. Pansy rolls her eyes and faces you too.

   like last time she reaches up and grabs your face, pulling it close to hers. You hear her sniff just like before, but this time her eyebrows furrow “What the fuck is that?” she asks, making you laugh quietly “Can’t figure it out?” you tease. Her brown eyes narrow into a glare “Shut up” she hisses.

   what a baby

   Pansy stays like that for a couple seconds before exhaling loudly “What the hell is it” she grumbles. A risky idea popped into your mind in an instant. It was dumb, but you were so tired of just being friends with her. You were willing to risk it all in one question.

   “See for yourself then”

   you couldn’t really remember much between the the couple seconds of silence. All you remember is Pansy’s lips on your feverishly. She leaned into kiss you deeper, making you almost fall out the chair. She was not taking it slow in the slightest.

   As Pansy’s mouth moves against yours she leans down and uses her hands to scoop up your thighs. She lifts you up and you wrap your arms around her waist tightly, making Pansy let out a muffled noise. You felt a hard surface hit your back and assumed Pansy had leant you against the wall.

   Pansy ran her tongue against your bottom lip. You open your mouth slightly for her and Pansy’s tongue slipped into your mouth instantly. You felt a cold piece of metal on your tongue that connected to hers. It took you a second to process what it was.

   she had a tongue piercing

   “You have a tongue piercing?” you ask between hot kisses. You feel her smirk against your lips as one hand traces circles on your exposed stomach. She pulls away for a moment “Yeah. Problem?” she questions, panting slightly. You shake your head quickly “Nope- it’s just really hot”

    ☼-☪-☼

   an hour later

   “You owe me ten galleons” Draco spoke.

   Blaise groans and reaches into his pocket to dig out the money and place it in his hands “Yeah, yeah whatever” he grumbles.

   Theo smiles happily “I’m so happy for them!”

   Draco nods slowly “I’m pretty sure the whole house heard them though”

Plesse tell me about queerness in the get down!!

okay okay queerness in the get down let's fuckn goooo

disclaimer: I havent watched this show in full for like 5 months at least, probably gonna get something wrong and/or forget some more important bits. also this wasnt proof read I just word vomited

tws: period typical homophobia, abuse mention, f slur use, bury your gays trope, overdose mention, mention of a creepy possible age gap (the age gap hasnt been confirmed so that's why its possible), cops

going from least to most prominent queer characters, let's start with mylene cruz!

so, from the beginning of this show she has an established romantic relationship with ezekiel (although the status of their actual relationship changes frequently throughout the show) and though this was a relationship she was hesitant to pursue, it is clear that she does have romantic feelings for him and if not for them both having growing careers in very different music genres (zeke specifically working in a genre that she repeatedly labels as bad because she thinks they're ruining records + that it isnt real music because they're using someone elses piece and rapping over it, that's not really important here tho lol) they probably wouldve had a much healthier, smooth sailing romance. that being said theres a few things that happen in the show that, while not explicitly clear, or even really good coding at that—to the point where you wont catch if you really arent looking for it (and trust me, I always look for coding, hers was just so little that it flew over my head until I saw someone else mention it)—are still cool to think about!

so, for starters, I wanna mention the toy box performance, which was performed by mylene and regina, who are best friends. that's all cool and shit, and you dont really think much about it...until you hear about the fact that the show runners purposely colored a lot of the scenes in that performance with the bi colors. like. the writers after the show ended basically said "oh yeah there was plans to make her coding more explicit, but our shit got cancelled soooo" and then dropped the fact that she was gonna be bi (or at least implies bi) in the series, which puts a new twist on a few things.

now, besides the bi coloring in the background of the toy box performance (which was mostly on scenes with her and regina, which involved a lot of uh,, lowkey lewd dancing. with each other. in very revealing outfits. wooooo), there's her music! I dont tend to read too much into this one bc, like I said before, her coding is fucking light and the writers themselves said they didnt really get to do much with it, but I think some stuff with her music is interesting. specifically how her, yolanda and regina's song set me free blew up because dizzee, resident (lowkey enby coded) bicon, got their song played in a queer club. also that the song was majorly important to dizzee and started playing literally right as he kissed a boy for the first time and realized "oh shit I like boys that's bonkers". also that the song can be taken in a gay way since literally the entire thing is about becoming your true self, fully and unapologetically, which is what both dizzee and mylene's entire character arcs are about. dizzee (and a lot of other queer people, apparently), heard this song about being set free and it resonated with them so much that they got that shit most of its popularity.

speaking of dizzee and mylene, they parallel each other a lot in the way that their arcs are about them realizing who they are, coming into themselves and no longer just letting people treat them like shit in a sense (dizzee starting to tell people essentially that they can call him weird all they want, they can make fun of how he acts, what he likes, how he dresses, etc. but he likes how he is and quite literally saying "it's okay to be an alien" as he has consistently compared himself to one throughout the show vs mylene learning that if she wants to be a disco singer she needs to put her foot down, not let anyone, not even the love of her life, not even her abusive father, stop her from achieving her dreams, etc. and continuing to pursue her career with or without their support). one more little parallel that I think is interesting is during I think s2 towards the end of the show is when dizzee and thor are shown together having fun with each other, painting all over the building and each other and are basically just being happy and in love together and then they have these clips of them being interspersed with clips of mylene at a party where she is starting to realize that if she wants to get anywhere she needs to be her own main priority and that she needs to put her career and her dream, which is what makes her the happiest, above all else if she wants to succeed. idk I just think how the show made these two into a weird parallel, accidental or not, is neat. maybe not an explicitly queer parallel, but I think at least how her music and whatnot helped dizzee, the main queer character in this show, blossom, is important.

moving on we got shaolin fantastic also known as "oh no your internalized homophobia is showing-"

so, heres a quick list of...interesting shao facts:

Consistently referred to as fag/faggot (shaolin fanfaggot is my personal favorite); he gets really defensive about this despite nobody actually thinking he's queer, it's just people being assholes to be assholes, and he is the only character consistently referred to using a slur, especially a homophobic one, especially for a "straight" character. dizzee, a canonically queer character, is called a fag less than shaolin is even though dizzee actively goes to gay clubs, has a not so secret dude he "hangs out with" and wont let anyone properly meet, paints his nails, wears less than straight clothes even by the 70s standards and is just all around the definition of fucking queer (and I mean like in the weird way, not the gay way). in fact theres only like once I can remember him being called a fag and it had nothing to do with him actually being gay it was literally just like thrown out there the same way you would call someone a bitch.

Has only shown sexual interest in women, yet refuses to have deeper relationships with women in general (possibly because of trauma but who knows) but takes his relationships with his "brothers", specifically zeke, very seriously

Tells zeke and zeke ONLY his real name when zeke was planning to stop being his friend bc shao more or less got boo boo, a like 14 year old black kid, arrested for selling hard drugs; he was clearly scared and trying to do anything to keep zeke around, literally chasing him down the street and hounding him until he got zeke to stop and argue with him

Kept threatening to beat up zeke in the end but couldn't actually bring himself to do so, instead saying that zeke is "fucking lucky" before walking away

Let's zeke get away with things that nobody else can, in general just has a weird soft spot for ezekiel that he shows with nobody else

when shao found dizzee with thor in a vaguely compromising situation (like they were just shirtless covered in paint sleeping next to each other but shao had also seen everything they painted on the walls ((which some of it was sus)), it was clear they had painted on each others bodies and dizzee had been routinely disappearing with this guy for weeks now yet not producing nearly as much art, at least, as far as we audience members know) he didnt judge him but instead, waited for him to get cleaned up and then told him something along the lines of "theres a reason why im so secretive blah blah blah [not everyone needs to know everything about me]", which, in context, kinda implies that he might be a lil. a lil homiesexual. jus a lil.

whenever even the possibility of zeke leaving him comes up he absolutely loses it. he has literally cost ezekiel life changing opportunities because he thought zeke would just up and leave him for them. this could be abandonment issues bc he's a severely traumatized character, and that probably does contribute to it, but it also is just not a reaction he has to any of their other friends just randomly dipping in and out of his life soooooo

generally speaking, this mfer has got either bisexual with a big hard on for zeke coding or homosexual with terrible internalized homophobia and still a hard on for zeke coding. either fucking way, that nigga gay. he gay as hell. gay as fuck man. there wasn't really much to analyze here tbh bc the coding is just so fucking obvious if you look for it or you are/have been a gay person who's dealt with at least a little bit of internalized homophobia.

also, just a sidenote, idk how fucking old shao, but I'm praying hes like at max 19 bc I'm pretty sure zeke is a minor in this show and shao definetly is not so the whole him being heavily implied to have a crush on ezekiel thing is kinda. oof. not oof if zeke is like 17 but any younger than that? OOF.

edit: apparently the characters are only supposed to be a year apart in age but i had no clue about that before writing this post and since shaos age was never actually stated in the show i naturally assumed he was an adult since his actor Looks Like An Adult. this is definetly on me to a certain extent, but i also never saw anything about this when trying to find our their ages so 🤷‍♀️ maybe i just didnt look deep enough, sorry!

now moving on to the main event...marcus dizzee kipling :]

so, first things first, let's talk enby coding bc him being bisexual was already confirmed!

um, to start off, I just wanna say I dont think this enby coding was intentional or even really coding, it's just moreso me being a dizzee kin on main and knowing as a transmasc enby he has very transmasc enby vibes. for example:

cool, gender neutral nickname that everyone calls him

paints nails various different colors

the whole wardrobe is just a transmasc enby heaven...fishnet shirts, jean overalls, jackets and cuffed pants galore, the big colorful pins, etc

gender neutral hairstyle (when I had my fro it was very sexy and made it easy to transition between hyper masc and vaguely fem, which is pog)

comparing himself to/representing himself consistently with an alien character (though this is meant to represent his sexuality, it could also double as a gender thing too, not neccesarily bc of the whole nonbinary alien trope but bc an enby who likes aliens might heavily identify or compare themselves to whatever their idea of an alien is, whether that just be a genderless entity or a motherfucker with fly style and no need to be perceived as anything other Wacky As Hell)

moving on from there, let's talk about how his queerness is presented to us and how, while it may be a really good piece of representation, especially coming from netflix, it still lacks in A Lot of places.

so, let's start with good things!

i personally really like the get down's queer rep with dizzee bc it's (for the most part) nonsexualized and very very soft, about dizzee figuring himself out and realizing there is a place where he fits in, and about two teenagers in the 70s falling in love over their shared passion for street art. it also features an interracial couple where both boys challenge stereotypes both about queer men and men of color, which is epic poggers and very sexy. this piece of rep specifically is very important to me bc I am a queer black person and even tho interracial relationships are mostly normalized now, I've still had people give me shit for primarily dating white people in a town that is...primarily white lol

mm anyways, I can also appreciate how in the get down, dizzee being represented by rumi the alien is not a thing specifically related to gender (as it often is) and instead is about his sexuality and just in general weirdness and how it has led to him being alienated amongst his peers, poc or otherwise. him seeing himself as an alien is not about just his queerness, which is important, it is about him being a queer black man who talks different, acts different, dresses different and is "soft"—he isnt a walking black male stereotype and he wouldnt have been seen as masculine back in the 70s by any stretch of the imagination. this can be relatable to a wide spectrum of queer poc, from queer black men currently who still have to deal with this shit or to people like myself who are afab neurodivergent mixed race enbies that have always been signaled out as weird and alienated for it. dizzee is god rep bc while he has a small part in this show, his parts are very impactful, hard hitting and show queer poc of all ages that they arent alone and that it's okay to "weird", you just need to embrace it because somebody will love you for you, as thor did for dizzee.

that being said theres um. some minor problemas here,,,

namely:

dizzee and thors first kiss

the lack of development this pairing got

the way dizzee was confirmed bisexual off screen, he never said the words himself, just showed interest in both genders

the way dizzee and thor were never even confirmed boyfriends or just fwb so most of the fandom just calls them boyfriends bc Why Not

dizzee was implied fucking DEAD??? AT THE END OF THE SERIES?????? AND THOR WAS IMPLIED ARRESTED?????????????

now, these might have been things that wouldve been fine had the show been given it's full run but it wasnt which is why we are now left with probelms.

so, from the top, let's go over these: dizzee and thor's first (and only "on screen") kiss was one that was shown in a montage of other queer people making over and doing other vaguely romantic/sexual things, one of those things being a whole ass naked titty being mouthed at, but the actual kiss...was just not shown? like they really did just say "yes they kissed <3 you know this from the context clues of it being in a montage with kissing, hickey giving and titty sucking <3 but no we will not show it <3" LIKE HELLO? I SAW A NAKED BOOBIE BUT NOT TWO MEN KISS??? HUH????????

also, dizzee and thor were both fucking high as hell during this bit like this isnt a terrible thing but it's also like sometimes you do shit when you're high that you wouldnt do sober and they just never kissed again on screen so like?? like idk that's not that bad but it does kinda irk me since they deadass got no other on screen intimacy after that unless you including painting on eacher other or sleeping next to each other on a shitty mattress but not touching at all during it bc they were both at opposite ends of the mattress like half way off it

so yeah, that was trash. then we got lack of development, which kinda goes with the "dizzee being a bisexual but he never says it in canon" thing cause like...okay dizzee was already sort of a side character from the get go like he wasnt the mc by any means, but he became way more of a background character as things continued until we basically only saw him for performances or when he was with thor, yet they got no fucking development as a pairing other than "dizzee realize he gay, he like thor, he and thor spend time together and ig probably do some gay stuff but we dont really know bc we only ever see them do graffiti together now" like?? tf am I supposed to do with that shit. answer. quickly. and then theres dizzee not being confirmed bisexual, which is just a running problem with shows literally doing everything to say a character is bi except for having the character just...say they're bi? which would be so easy? like a good way dizzee and thor couldve had some development is by thor teaching dizzee things about the queer community that he didnt even know existed, thor couldve helped him understand what being bi meant and helped him label himself and whatnot but instead we got an off screen confirmation that the writers had bisexual in mind when writing him. which is garbagé.

the whole thor and dizzee never having a confirmed relationship status is also a development problem cause like literally nobody knows if they were just friends who made out, maybe fucked, who knows, or if they were dating bc dizzee does give a love confession but a love confession doesn't mean there is a relationship, especially since thor didn't say he was in love either (as far as I remember, I could be wrong, plus whether or not that really happened or was apart of dizzee literally overdosing during a performance is unclear so 🤪)

and now for the biggest issue...bury your gays trope.

during the season 2 finale, dizzee and thor are chased by cops after they are found doing graffiti, one of the cops is able to catch thor while the other chases dizzee into a train tunnel and there is a train seen headed straight for him before the show cuts to black on a train horn. the show writers claim that if they had gotten another season, dizzee wouldve been alive but since they didnt and since that's essentially super fan trivia knowledge, most people dont fucking know that and instead had to watch a black queer teenager chose death over being fucking arrested by a white cop. on top of that, thor didnt see any of that shit because he was caught and the cop started hauling him off while dizzee was still being chased so thor literally has no clue where his friend/possible boyfriend fucking is or that he's likely dead in a goddamn tunnel all alone, unless you count the fucking pig that chased him in there who wouldve died too. this shows rep was so fucking good as far as most shows go on not having major fucking problems, on not being toxic and over sexualized, etc, etc. and then they just. killed a black queer teenager for no fucking reason. like it was literally the last episode ever, it would add nothing to the plot, it would just devastate fans and devastate it fucking did. I dont cry easy but seeing a character I identified with, who I had hyperfixated on, die because he'd rather that than be arrested is terrible. it fucking sucked.

so yeah. that's my all too extensive thoughts/analysis on the get down's queerness. theres definitely stuff I missed, or misinterpreted, or looked too much into, etc, etc., but this was a fun thing to spend time writing sooo yeah!! thanks for the ask anon, sorry this was just a big rambley info dump, but hopefully you get some enjoyment out of it since it took like 3 hours at least 😭😭 feel free to ask clarifying questions lol

[bestworstcase]

Omg I’ve been busy all day but I finally got to relax and read chapter 5 which was an interesting in depth look into the characters aside from all the fantastic world building I’ve throughly enjoyed. (It’s a personal favorite of mine in any media tbh) A little rant on what I’ve loved so far - The body gore is so well detailed and I’m a SUCKER for that shit. The amount of raw gay and badass energy put into Caine is everything and I’m really excited to see how her arc plays out. Especially with all the underlying details of how the murder seems to kinda have affected everyone. I’m also really invested in this Sirin person and their role in this story. Really loved your writing of Varian and his estranged relationship with his father. It allowed you to get into the head of how he feels and his chosen actions due to his father’s poor treatment of trust. I love the relationship between Feldspar and Cass! Especially how you chose to make him Saporian as a foundation of their relationship. The way Cassandra acts to becoming Rapunzel’s lady-in-waiting is valid and almost reminds me of the way she acted in lost lagoon. Rapunzel mirroring some manipulation tactics or otherwise bad toxic habits from Gothel was FANTASTIC and something I really wanted to see expanded on in the show but this was great! And I really love the way you established Cassandra & Rapunzel’s meeting! The class division already evident of the two with Cassandra seeing this assignment as purely her job and task to finally prove herself to her dad but Rapunzel taking the relationship as more of a companionship than anything else, Rapunzel asking if she can call her Cass instead of Cassandra asking her to really pushes the fact she already took this simple act of power away from Cass and really sets in place the power dynamic between the two, and Cassandra setting her boundaries of not wanting to expand on her personal life and her clear discomfort of the consistent hugging and invasion of personal space but allowing the princess to cross them because she’s the “princess” was a perfect cherry on top to how Rapunzel already has this power over Cassandra she doesn’t realize is there. Oh and the way you described how Rapunzel felt in this new life of handed responsibility/power over her newfound subjects and lack of leisure time was perfect. Also I was wondering if the King has truly accepted or pardoned Eugene on his crimes, or did he simply say he pardons Eugene to appease his wife but still needs time adjusting to the fact his returned daughter has a retired but infamous thief as a boyfriend? And on a last note I loved seeing some real bonding between Cass and Raps when they rode together on the beach and how it’s already building on Cass’s feelings towards the princess and wanting this act to be “their” thing not in the company of Eugene. It reminds me of the early days in the show when Cassandra would sneak just the two of them out to experience the world together, it was nice and a sweet touch to their relationship

ksdfjkjskd HELLO

i have to confess i had a moment of. you’re on chapter 5 what gore? and then i remembered

oh 

the prologue

gjksdjklf

caine’s arc in benighted is just BEING GAY and DOING CRIMES, because auntie neasa raised her right and it’s what she deserves. and also i’m not a coward, DISNEY.

i am glad you like sirin. i remember while i was writing the first, like, 13 chapters of benighted i was just constantly tearing my hair out over how to set her character up so 14 and 15 and like all of the third act would land right

the funny thing about feldspar is my hc that he is saporian predates the episode in s3 that reveals he is fluent in saporian which made lost treasure pretty wild because like. out of all the headcanons to get some textual validation for why was it THAT ONE LMAO. anyway i love one (1) cobbler

rapunzel is conceptually so interesting to me because on the one hand she’s been trained all her life to appease her abuser so she has all these people-pleasing habits but then at the same time her only frame of reference for what ‘normal’ is for eighteen years was gothel so like of course she’d have all these habits and behaviors that she picked up from gothel subconsciously and just doesn’t... have the experience to identify as abnormal? and then she’s immediately shoved into a situation where everyone in her life caters to her desires because she is the princess vfjsdfbsf and then there’s cassandra who is so so conscious of the class divide and the power dynamics at play and how precarious her own position in herzingen is but also really has no recourse beyond increasingly desperate variations on “respect my boundaries please.” these poor kids 

i will say i think bitter snow is a lot softer on fred than a lot of tts fanfic because. well various reasons but the big ones are 1. while fred himself is of course very fallible and responsible for quite a lot of the messes corona is in he is also just one person, the monarchal system that gives him absolute power and surrounds him with people who will carry out all his orders virtually without question is the bigger problem and im interested in unpacking that, and 2. notwithstanding the really egregious and sort of silly decision to literally like imprison rapunzel in her tower, a lot of the overprotective/controlling things fred does in s1 are, like - they’re framed as very bad and irrational and impinging upon rapunzel’s freedom and of course she naturally feels very stifled by them but - realistically speaking yeah of course the princess needs a protection detail and her wandering around the city by herself when theres like a terrorist organization actively plotting a violent coup is a massive security risk vbsdjfk so for benighted i think fred is doing his best to keep rapunzel safe from legitimate threats without stifling her and the conflict comes more from her not really being able to understand that there are legitimate threats + she has all this trauma connected to being trapped inside. anyway this was a bit of a digression but i think fred pardoned eugene for realsies no questions asked as soon as sir peter was like yeah this time it’s really her. he just. i think half assumed that this would be obvious (yeah of course he’s not going to execute his daughter’s rescuer?) and half just plain forgot to mention it because he was caught up in the feelings of meeting her jkfskjf

i’m really very fond of the horse scenes i refuse to write anthropomorphic horses so this is really the only time in benighted that the horses get a real spotlight but. i love them

[yomiurinikei]

every day i think about u saying "word of god from unreliable sources shouldn’t be used to ignore canon?????? hello????????????????" and ever since have wanted you to pop off about that in more detail

its 2:26 am rn but this has been sitting in my inbox for a while and i feel vv bad anon, so! (Note: Please if you disagree with anything said here, message me to discuss it, or send an ask telling me the canon material which proves me as wrong (or just say u disagree but b nice and dont tell me im wrong, like back urself up if ur gonna say that) but dont just. vague me/repost my stuff) also under a keep reading because it got long

“word of god from unreliable sources shouldn’t be used to ignore canon” = linuj giving a chart which puts the CoU as younger than the Kisaragi foundation, which was given out by the Eng dub server which has consciously spread misinfo before (see: the rumor about sora being confirmed as straight) while saying it was from linuj, shouldnt be used as a reason to ignore the line in chapter 6 which confirms that the CoU were high schoolers. (a note from later in the post: whenever i say kisaragi foundation, i mean rei teruya and tsurugi)

to break that down some: no one in sdra2 has a confirmed age. we can try to use the knowledge we have from dra translations, and then use math and estimates, but even then, we cant confirm the dra cast as being born in a certain year, which is relevant i promise. the closest we have is a drawing of setsuka in her 30s, but it’s not stated if that’s how old she is - in fact, if it were, then why not call it a drawing of adult setsuka? i also think shinji states his age in yuukis ideal fantasy but knowing he’s the oldest just gives us a max limit for how old the others can be. So we know, based off the chart, that the CoU are “around the same age as, but slightly younger than” the kisa foundation. i think specificially, it’s that they’re in the same general age range, which in my post i said was >5 years of difference, iirc, but please check that post for precise info on that.

but moving on to the next bit: the engdub server hasn’t been reliable (and i mean this with no hate or discontent towards anyone there, though i do have issue with some of the morals of mods there + how that situation was handled) when it comes to giving information released “from linuj” while the western fandom was going through some bit of mass drama. i don’t believe i was really involved/aware of/around when the rumors about sora being straight were going around, however; while i know the age twist was more dramatic than that whole situation, wouldn’t that be more incentive to release placating information to calm down the fandom? people were discussing leaving/losing interest in sdra2 after the age twist/chapter 6 in general, which gives a nice carryover to our next thing

Linuj consistently releases information that does nothing for canon except contradict it, and he does this on his site, not adding it into the game itself. If something cannot be determined from ingame material, then it is considered word of god. this is different from a creator confirming something implied, this is when a creator adds in something entirely new, with the most well known example i can thing of being JK Rowling calling Dumbledore gay after the series completion. it’s something not explicitly shown in canon, it is something not hinted at or implied in canon, it’s something stated after canon was finished - and even worse, it directly conflicts canon. Linuj has added things into the game to pander into fans jokes and desires, and is aware of what happens in the western fandom when it comes to major things. He’d know about the panic and discontent with the age twist, so assuming the chart was real, it’s still word of god that contradicts canon and was likely created to pacify fans who were upset and planned on ditching sdra2

my final main point: about how it conflicts with canon. i cant recall exactly when, and i’d have to go back through the ch 6 streams to find out (which i will do if necessary, but its now 2:56 am and im hoping people will just respectfully disagree + streams so long...) but it is stated, in chapter 6, as a relevant piece of information, that the children of utsuro were high schoolers while the game happened. additionally, we know that linuj gives the DRA cast different designs compared to when they were high schoolers and how old they are in sdra2, so considering that the CoU have the same design out of simulation, should show that they’re high schoolers, at a similar age, but still younger than, the kisa foundation trio, who are at an unknown age. i wrote out a bit about how the chart can coexist with canon but im making it the tl;dr instead

and none of this is to say you have to denounce any concept where the CoU are adults! you can have your aus, you can have old theories which you follow more than canon (*cough cough* rip mastermind kinjo*)! the reason i made that comment is because i was tired of people using unreliable word of god to discourage others who followed explicit canon material. we know from the main canon games, and it is not contradicted or disproven by any canon material (the series is complete) that the CoU are high schoolers. so yeah use the age chart for who you think is older than who, make content of the CoU where they’re adults, whatever. but acknowledge all of the flaws and inconsistencies with something not canon to the game, which contradicts the game, and don’t use it to attack people who follow the game

TL;DR the unreliable chart which was released post-canon from someone known for playing into fans wants, can even coexist with the canon knowledge that they’re high schoolers, but it shouldn’t be used to say that they’re adults when it doesn’t say that.

happy weekend dearest!

other than the snow angels, i haven’t done much.,, just been cozying it up with coffee and blankets at home hehe. 30 degrees... amazing. ideal feeling like a rotisserie chicken weather. 😌 bc of global warming we’ve been having some great summers these past few years. it even gets to 30 degrees as well which was unheard of tbh.

you’re so cute for caring ilysm <3 and aaa! a walk! do you have any perticular place you enjoy walking to or does the winds guide you, hehe? EDITING A FIC... 👀 i’m looking respectfully...... 👀 wait did the event open up for you already? i tried to play it earlier today but it wasn’t there yet... the lost riches one right?

bennett is best boy i still can’t believe it either!!! he’s seriously the cutest he just makes me so happy. when i need to explore and run around i always run with him bc i love his lines so much. what a bebie. you should go for it there are still some days left! + he’s a four star so he’s easier to get. GUOBA IS SO FUNNY he’s just.... a little fucking bear i can’t stop laughing... tbh the little creatures like amber’s bunny too just 😭 have you seen those yt clips of them dancing? obsession..

i need to ask you this bc when i found out i lost my mind: did you know that the japanese va for razor is also the va for tsukishima (haikyuu) and shigaraki (bnha)???? insane!!! it made me consider switch to japanese dub tbh.. which dub do you use?

maybe i’ll send you a little part and you can read or something shdkdhskdjdjf help 😳 it’s not edited or anything so it might take a while plus i’m super into writing bnha these days so.... but hey if You have any prompts you want to read maybe i’ll write a drabble for you. i don’t mind at all! <33333 ask for anything!!

(FIC-COLLAB!!:!/$:)!:&//&/!$:’sidnd HELP.... omg what kind of fic would we write....?)

exactly! i think when you realize that there’s nothing keeping you there anymore that brings you joy, that’s when you need to step back. social media is a bit fucked up that way imo. like you want to be there to be informed and to have fun but it takes so much.. hm. also you always tell me this but i wanna tell you to that YOU are the reason i enjoy social media these days so.. thank you <3

you relate to bakugou and lance? that’s super hot of you.. 🥵 my wifey is a self assured, super intense and talented person.. couldn’t ask for better tbh. i think out of them both i’m pretty much like todoroki.. we’re super similar in so many ways now that i think about it shsjdhdhdj.. how about we just stay c.r and m.a our dynamic is perfect as is LMAO

(also i need to say smth... my love language is when people say ‘i thought of you when i...’ and the fact that you said that just hsjdfhjdjdksk shit)

(i could also just put the link under a read more and less people would see it, so it’s no biggie!) fkdshfkjs the hinata impression omg precious <33

FJHFDSKJ awks ahah which groups were you into tho! if it’s not like scarring for you to think back to LOL. and oooo i like indie too! i think.. or is it alt? honestly i don’t even know, tbh my music taste is pretty diverse and a mess, i can usually listen to a lot of things. except slow songs i don’t really like those hfdskj. and i don’t like rap too much either FHSDKJS whenever my friend gives me a rec i’m just like “oh i liked the singing parts in that” FDSKJF. a playlist tho huh 😳🥺

[blookmallow]

HEY what is up. i heard about this game called “doki doki literature club” which apparently is not, in fact, mislabeled as “psychological horror” despite the fact that it looks like this 

nothing’s happened yet but i can’t Wait to get fucked up 

lets do this shit

im rly glad they have these warnings here so people know what they’re getting into but im also gonna be HIGHLY disappointed if this doesnt get fucked up enough to warrant so many dire warnings 

i have been promised HIGHLY DISTURBING CONTENT and by god i better get some

(if ur reading this and have played it and/or know how things are gonna turn out please don’t tell me ANYTHING i wanna experience it myself) 

why am i so rude to her she’s cute :( 

buddy you’re a little too late to save me on that one but i appreciate ur intentions

?????? neet

im a literature major irl lmao but alright :’ ) 

ah

o wait shit im a boy 

i just put in my name without even considering the fact that this was probably gonna be gendered LMAo oh well. whatever ill just pull a haruhi fujioka it’s fine 

i havent actually played a dating sim before but so far everyone seems to be Blatant Stereotypes probably intentionally

“it’s n-not like I L-LIKE you or anything...b....baka” 

my protagonist seems to be a clueless, kinda selfish, emotionally oblivious dude who has no idea how to talk to girls and only sorta knows what a book is 

i feel like as a gay ace literature major, this game was probably not intended for me :’ ) 

its actually. very distracting for me how much i Can’t Relate to the protagonist/am kinda starting to actively dislike him lmao but 

seems a lil bit on the nose but alright 

this is feeling very. “haha im sure nothing BAD would ever happen, [WINK] [NUDGE NUDGE] :) “ right now but im rollin with it 

“yeah sure ill join your......reading....club or whatever if it means i get to be alone with Hot Girls :)” shut the fuck 

i also appreciate the fact that monika’s hair apparently exists outside the laws of gravity 

then we went home to write a Poetry which consisted of just. picking random words out of a hat, essentially, (i just picked all the most goth sounding ones lmao) which. i cant tell how thats affecting anything or if it even is at all but my goal was to A) be a goth and B) aim for befriending yuri bc i like her the best and that seems to be goin well so far, so 

sounds fun

this also feels like. a really, really heavyhanded attempt at foreshadowing or some kind of continued “wink-nudge” kinda jab at the player, which. in a game about writing I’m hoping the. actual. writing :’) gets better than this, but, hey 

congratulations kiddo you touched a human female for the first time lets throw a party ill get the confetti 

this whole. sitting side by side Super Duper Close!!!! to read together thing is. i mean. cute, i guess, but that sounds REALLY uncomfortable lmao

i wouldnt be able to read if i was constantly worrying about “oh god im not reading fast enough they have to wait for me to turn the page” 

silently reading a book together is not the same as watching a movie together or somethin it doesnt quite work the same :’ ) 

“hey you’re just like the protagonist in this book. you constantly second-guess yourself and have no self esteem lol” “that’s. pretty awful” “what, how was i supposed to know you were self conscious about that” listen i have the social skills of a rock and this protagonist is still pissing me off 

“no wait i meant your lack of self confidence and constant guilt for everything you say or do is like, super cute” 

i dont understand it but i rly like yuri’s poem 

SAYORI IS RLY CUTE 

ohhh my god can you be actually genuine about.....just one thing.....1 thing in your life, son, just 1, you can do it, 

more poetry

im assuming the idea is “you’re picking words which your protagonist is working into his poem” but i still kinda hope his poems are literally just “darkness.... MASSACRE.......crimson......alone......fading” 

also those lil chibis are mad cute 

where monika tho 

all of these girls keep immediately assuming i must hate them every time they have any kind of minor social hiccup im rly worried about them honestly 

sighs

seductively shoves chocolate in ur mouth

im a romance 

is sayori ok 

is yuri ok 

i dont think any of them are ok 

,,,,thank you monika 

dont b rude :( 

ALRIGHT THERE’S DEFINITELY SOME SHIT GOING ON THAT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT

is it murder. is the hobby murder. i bet its murder isnt it natsuki

[werewolfmind]

L.I.S   B.T.S thoughts under the cut

in summary though: not a fan. The vibe of the game is off, the writing is cringey (and not in the charming way the original is, in the IM AN EDGY ANGSTY TEEN way where LIFE IS SO HARD, I dont like chloe, I dont like rachel, and cant forget the blatant “everyone is crap and takes their own issues out on everyone else” problem thats expanded to ALL characters instead of just Chloe

sighs

CAN WRITERS AND FANDOM FUCKING LEARN THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO A CHARACTER, IT DOESNT EXCUSE FUTURE OR PAST ACTIONS WHICH HURT OR ENDANGER OTHERS

AND YEAH SHIT CAN HAPPEN TO CHARACTERS AND YOU FEL BAD FOR THEM, BUT BEING BULLIED OR AFRAID DOESN’T MAKE KILLING OKAY, ESPECIALLY IF ITS OUT OF REVENGE 

--------

DID THE WRITERS BUY INTO THE ‘POOR BULLIED NATHAN’ THING IM PISSED NATHAN WAS A VICTIM AND I FEEL BAD FOR HIM BUT HE STILL DID SOME PRETTY FUCKED UP THINGS ON HIS /OWN/ LIKE THREATENING MAX AND CHLOE AND OH YEAH HELPING VICTORIA RUIN KATE AND POSSIBLY GETTING /HER/ KILLED AND IF YOU FAIL TO SAVE KATE HE REALLY DOESNT SEEM AFFECTED BY IT SO YEAH

HE EXPRESSES REGRET FOR RACHEL LATER AND IS GENUINELY WORRIED FOR MAX BY THE END, BUT AT THE TIME THESE EVENTS ARE HAPPENING HE STILL DOES SOME PRETTY AWFUL FUCKED UP THINGS NOT UNDER JEFFERSON

———

why do I feel hetero-hate coming from this game?

Cause look okay I know this is cliche to say but really. Warren was portrayed as some pathetic puppy and the writers give you like 10 chances to hook up with Chloe but theres only 1 right way to play things if you want Max/Warren

Now in BtS HOW many girls hit on Chloe and Rachel JUST in chapter 1 (to the point where its hitting Mary Sue levels. No everyone is attracted to the bad girl aesthetic ok?) In addition to Chloe blowing off her bf of 2 months because she got roped in with Rachel…

And like. Okay. Chloe is gay, POSSIBLY bi? So far we know she was attracted to/dated guys up until the events of BtS and shes kinda figuring out her sexuality. Max has the option of both Chloe and Warren, and assuming outside of game mechanics being able to flirt with Chloe while crushing on Warren means she’s bi and just never considered girls until Chloe came back into her life…

BUT the overall feel is that guys = bad, girls = good. The guys are either sexist, overbearing, or downright scumbags (not mention certain homicidal fucked up ones). And all the girl pairings consist of the sweet/shy girl crushing on the badass punk (Chloe or Rachel)

Not to mention the fact that theP.ricefield shippers overlook and even DEFEND how abusive and manipulative Chloe is to Max IN CANON and their very first defense is “gay ships need more representation stop hating”. Tbh I wouldnt be very happy if the first REALLY good representation of an ace character was of them also being emotionally abusive to their partner

idk. this fandom and now the pattern in the games of man-hating/portraying specifically lesbian relationships as picture perfect to Mary-Sue levels of writing? Honestly, it pisses me off

lol yeah

the entire vibe of this game is “straight relationships suck”

just having a good girl-girl romance wont actually send a positive message ]]
