#then im a happy enby tbh

[thedramaticduke]

If someone enjoys these movies, I can just recommend every movie from Cartoon Saloon.

It has everything: beautiful 2D animation, smart children as protagonists (who aren't forced into a hetero romance, don't worry) and in 4 out of 5 cases, beautiful fantasy.

And, most importantly, stories about children and their parents and parents who learn to listen and turn into better people in the process.

Please, give it a watch if you can. Wolfwalkers is on Apple TV+, My Fathers Dragon on Netflix and all movies on... those websites. Don't miss those movies, please. They are wonderful.

“it's so much better than that though. It's about the children realizing they didn't understand the parents as well as they thought and the parents realizing that they had passed down generational trauma and both parties ending the trauma together paving way for a happier family. Honestly it's probably a result of more people getting therapy and our society getting more open with talking about mental illness” -FB comment

Ngl i think I you were answering an ask about why you lean twords FReader, And you said something along the lines of "I just have a thing for making ladies come" and I have been a fan of yours ever sense. Cuz i knew in that moment oh yeah they are doing it for the girlies hell yeah. I sometimes think of that quote while gazing out of a window at like 2 pm. ANYWAY-

yesssss i did! i think it was in reference to me explaining why i write female readers for my explicit fics despite being nb myself, if i recall correctly; or something of that ilk. my previous couple of fandoms i was in, i wrote m/m (though those werent reader-inserts), and tbh a lot of it is just me wanting to write women!! sometimes, i’ll keep it gender neutral since that’s always fun and matches my own experience better, but otherwise…. haha yeah. women 🙆‍♀️

that said! i know i have lots of men/masc enbies/more gn folks that read my fics (several of whom i’ve gotten messages from!) and i’m super happy to hear that they enjoy my works as well. i think my fics tend to skew more on the gender-neutral scale outside of things like… presumed anatomy and pet names tied to pronouns… so my reader characters are less fem than others even when i’m explicitly (haha) writing a woman. side effect of me being nb i suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ive toyed with writing explicitly trans characters, but every time i try, i end up putting too much of my own experience in the fic. i have a very positive community, but i’m not interested in putting my own experience as a trans person in the world for that kind of dissection critically (not in fanfic anyway where im not getting paid to balance the risk). as a result, for my reader-insert fics (which, as a genre, are already a magnet for disingenuous or dishonest engagement outside of its community, let alone getting into any kind of inane discourse about writing explicit fic of aged up characters) i stick to presumed cis reader characters, at least for now.

[leorawright]

May I please have an overwatch matchup? :))

-bisexual with huge women/enby pref

-she/they/it

-No men please!! With the exception of Junkrat 👀 I’d also like it if you could avoid Mei and Zarya

-romantic please!

-it’s hard for me to talk in public because I can be a bit shy and anxious, but it helps me if I’m around someone who can hype me up or is just overall someone who talks to other people!

-im on the creative side, and I love making art or singing!

-I love physical touch and being near people who would naturally reach out for my hand, etc.

-sometimes I can appear emotionless, even when I’m not. Usually when I’m around someone I care about that changes though! My emotions come through easier around people I love

-I love new adventures, like going to the gas station at 3 am or going to a new place on a whim. I’m always down to experience new things.

-I feel lonely a lot so I like to be with someone who is always there, regardless of HOW they’re there. Could be actively spending time with me or just being in the same room with me.

-humor is an important thing to me, so I’m always sort of making jokes. And I can greatly appreciate those who do as well! I don’t think I could be with someone I didn’t find funny. Tbh my humor is a little broken though-

-I love giving out random compliments and making others feel good. Especially when they don’t get a lot. I like to let ppl know they’re loved!

-I like getting compliments as well but I don’t know how to react to them so sometimes I feel insecure about the way I show how grateful I am.

I hope this is enough!!

I've chosen...

Lucio!

He'll definitely talk to people for you and also hype you up to talk to people yourself

He's your personal cheerleader

When he learns that you sing he will definitely sing with you all the time

Whenever you two are in public, he'll often hold your hand or just have an arm wrapped around your shoulders (or waist if you're taller than him)

He gets that you struggle to show emotions and never holds it against you

Whenever he makes you laugh he gets unbelievable happy

He adores getting compliments and will shower you with them as well

[raikkonens]

1 - you are right more people should appreciate trans kimi for obvious reasons (but tbh i also think more ppl should appreciate kimi like… in general)

2 - istg seb is sooooo extremely trans/enby coded it’s insane (idk if im projecting but whatever) i have so many toughs about that too

3 - now im plotting about t4t simi. nice

also sorry for the long ask but this made me v happy! <3

oh absolutely. kimi doesn't get nearly enough love. i wish there was more kimi fanart/fics but it really slowed down when he retired :(

i know and every time i think about it my mind just goes sjhkkfghdsjkfkjsfg bc i have so many thoughts about it that i haven't figured out how to write down yet

HI HI I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD REQUEST ANY OF THE SALLY FACE GANG WITH A TRANSMASC READER WHO WEARS MAKEUP FOR FUN? TYSM IF YOU DO WRITE THIS

THIS MAY BE ANSWERED LATE BECAUSE IT WAS SENT WHILE I'M AT WORK, BUT I'LL DO THE MAIN GANG >:]

Sal

- You're transmasc? COOL! You're so valid, he makes sure to tell you that

- Gender-nonconforming He/they Sal fr btw

- Sal can't do makeup himself... (Wonder why /j) but he would enjoy watching you do your thing!

- Sal is always interested in the things people can do! He watches Larry and Ash make art all the time!

- He let you put eyeliner on his mask once... It's still there, he can't get it off

- It looks cool though! It makes him happy

- If you're dysphoric he does his best to help you out! He'd be the one to comfort you by going out on walks with you or taking you 5o Larry's so ya'll can jam out together,

- He'd show you his growing collection of fake eyes when you guys are older!!

Larry

- YOOOO! He's so supportive when you come out to him, he'd start using any masc terms he could to make sure you feel super valid

- Bro, dude, all that jazz

- WILL LEND YOU HIS CLOTHES!! You and Sal are the only ones allowed to wear his band t-shirts

- He knows you guys wouldn't do anything to them (on purpose, at least)

- HE'D BUY YOU BAND TEES SO YOU CAN MATCH TOO

- And he's so excited whenever you put on makeup, perfect art opportunity!

- Whether it's you putting it on or having it on, you have at least two paintings of yourself from him

- "Lookin' super fab, bro!"

Ash(ley)

- When you tell her, she'd put a hand on your shoulder and smile at you

- She accepts you for who you are!!

- She's been questioning herself tbh, she might be on the enby spec

- You guys have chats about that, it's super rad

- You give each other makeup tips! Maybe sometimes you guys will trade stuff

- She's literally so sweet and chill about it too

- Whatever kind of makeup you do, she fuckin loves it

- She's not afraid to correct people btw btw! She's got your back!

Todd(?)

- He's supportive idk, I can't think of anything for the poor guy

- I keep forgetting his name

Travis

- He acts disgusted when he finds out but like...

- He casually uses your pronouns while insulting you, he acts like he doesn't notice

- He doesn't have the heart to misgender you, but he's still an ass

- The others seem to notice, but he acts dumb like he doesn't notice

- Leaves a trans flag his dad tried to burn in your locker, bro snuck it out the trash

- It smells, but he couldn't wash it without his dad noticing

- He sees you as you are, but he's jealous that you can be yourself... He wants to be like that

- He also fucking loves your makeup but still insults it

- You can tell by how he insults little details instead of the whole thing. He took his time to look!

OK SO IM STILL AT WORK AND IM SUPER TIRED AND HUNGRY, SO THIS WILL BE ALL

Sorry about Todd's, I can't think for the poor guy

MERLIN’S APPRENTICE & MERLIN’S CHAMPION || trollhunters

warnings: swearing

a/n: if rott gave me anything it gave me this idea

I KNOW I SAID “JUICY” BUT REALLY THAT WAS JUST THE ANGST POTENTIAL,, THAT IM NOT INDULGING IN THIS POST IM SORRY LMAO

OKAY WHAT IM REALLY TALKING BOUT HERE IS A GOOD MERLIN/ARTHUR BUT IT ACTUALLY WORKS

no sorry i haven’t seen bbc merlin don’t come for me i’m ignorant

OKAY SO

we know douxie kept an eye on the human trollhunter and co

but douxie’s really having a hard time convincing himself he’s just doing his job

he’s actually enjoying this a little too much despite how boring staying in the shadows is

and he’s kinda worried?

so he’s got this bright idea: you know what would better help him keeps tabs? if he befriends this person

and so he does

fuck merlin’s shadows

sod the rules

ofc he’s very up front about knowing they’re the trollhunter and that he’s merlin’s apprentice

we wouldn’t want that to become a huge festering secret that eats douxie from the inside out until the inevitable reveal when merlin calls them both to help with the arcane order and they realize they’ve both been lying to each other’s faces for months/years and neither of them know if they could ever trust the other again, right? — phew *catches breath*

but before you know it, mr. casperan and mx. trollhunter are best friends

he’s basically the toby to your jim

and you’re very happy to have a best friend like douxie

he understands that monster hunting hustle

he’s the only person you can vent to and actually talk about what’s going on without sounding like a loon

and douxie likes being able to tell someone all his frustrations with merlin, since you’re also in that boat with him

you spar sometimes. it’s fun, but you’re very careful not to accidentally hurt your friend (he’s extremely careful not to hurt you or wound your ego by effortlessly wiping you out)

ofc, there’s the occasional, brushing of hands, faces a little too close together, accidentally winding up on top of one another, purposefully winding up on top of one another 👀 you know how sparring be

you and douxie are a duo. a duo who have become trollmarket’s resident troublemakers, to vendel’s exasperation

you guys tease each other a lot

you do a lot of stupid shit, cause hey, now you have magic armor and a magic sword and a magic best friend, did you think you wouldn’t get up to some shenanigans?

douxie is your impulse control and he’s not a very good one, as he’s just as bad

truthfully archie has the brain cell

and pranks? gods the pranks. you two are always either pranking each other or you’re teaming up to prank some other troll who said smth mean to you in the pub. vendel had to personally put a stop to it (read: chew you out)

doux thinks the world of you tho, you’re such a noble knight, and likes to tell people about how you’re a cinnamon roll, so innocent, so pure

and then they meet you and you directly contradict those statements

trollhunter: i’ve never done anything wrong in my life, ever

douxie: i know this and i love you

(spoiler: you’ve done lots and lots of wrong)

doux spends an awful lot of time slinking around trollmarket now, and he’s in the know for everything that’s happening

(no more being kept in the dark for this wizard apprentice)

and doux knows merlin won’t completely approve of this, but hey, it’s not like he’s helping and thus directly disobeying

really, he’s not helping you at all, it’s really fucking annoying

okay so mayyybe the occasional healing spell. you’ve got those puppy dog eyes he can’t say no to

but you understand his sense of duty, or whatever it is that drives a follower, technically being a follower of merlin yourself

you respect the old geezer (as you have not been turned into a half-troll yet) as a wise mythical figure, and as your best friend’s father

and what a perfect match you are for each other, champion and apprentice, mutually being screwed over by a guy you both think has all the answers

you and douxie help each other grow in your self-worths, that you two are more than the chances merlin has given to you

unfortunately, mortifyingly, you have caught feelings.

douxie has also caught feelings, and is saying nothing yep you have enough on your plate without him putting this on you so he’ll just quietly pine and suffer don’t mind him choking to death in the corner when you take off your helmet and throw back your hair

y’all’s problem really starts manifesting itself as protectiveness. you are really protective of your wizard and he is really protective of his knight

lots of things said that are Not What Friends Say but neither of you really want to be the one to point that out

lots and lots of i love yous that slowly get more and more serious until it’s not exactly platonic anymore

and it’s just really nice to have someone to get coffee (or your favored hot drink) with at four in the morning after a tussle with a troll

and that’s basically how you and douxie spend the bulk of trollhunters, just vibing

as much as you can vibe, with all the changelings and shit trying to murder you all the time

then merlin wakes up and shakes up your world

you are aware of your impending doom

you’re aware of it

merlin keeps looking you up and down like he’s mentally making up the measurements of your coffin

and tbh the idea of fighting gunmar freaks you tf out

and you’re supposed to win that fight?

gods

you’re preparing for your nightmares coming true soon

truthfully you knew your fucking job had a 100% mortality rate

you don’t want to die with regrets

so

you spill

you spill all the things you’d wanted to tell him and how much he means to you and that you couldn’t bear it if you were a goner before he knew

miraculously, douxie feels the same and tells you all the things he’d been holding back and and what you mean to him and how much he wants to protect you, that you’re gonna make it, if he had anything to say about it

and everything is perfect for one night

now you have a real reason to win

not that saving humanity isn’t a big responsibility on your shoulders and definitely A Reason

but knowing douxie’s waiting for you, for the life you’ll build together after this, the peace you’ll both have, it’s absolutely a big motivation to give your all and come out victorious and survive

hahaha loser you don’t know about the arcane order

and then merlin uses your microwave to cook a weird potion

you and merlin are alone in the house, but there’s no real mind games necessary. you may have grown past thinking he was a god, but in the end, you’re still a follower of merlin, and if merlin thinks this could give you an edge, well, who are you to question his methods

doesn’t mean you aren’t nervous as your master hands you the bottle

yet you don’t even hesitate to drown yourself in the black abyss of the tub

whatever it takes amirite?

and now you’re a half-troll

a sexy half-troll, if you do say so yourself

yeah, no ‘i’m a monster’ angst here, you’re loving the power-up

you’ve got to treat it like a cool new power-up or you will cry actually tbh i lied about the no-angst thing a new body is disorienting

your only real concern is douxie

not concerned for long tho, he sees you and the first thing out of his mouth is “nuclear!”

and he senses your concern, so he does go out of his way to assure you that boy, girl, enby, or half-troll, he loves you for your soul, darling

also again half-troll! you is hot as hell so he’s not really losing anything here 👀

he makes sure you know that too, not to let any insecurities fester

him raking his eyes up and down you gives the opposite effect of the dread merlin sent down your spine doing it

anyways,,,

doux helps out a lot more in the eternal night

like helps merlin re-defeat and re-seal morgana

he’ll do it again in few weeks but with a bigger role you know, this is practice

thank merlin for that edge YOU ARE THE LAST TROLLHUNTER YOU ARE VICTORIOUS YOUVE GOT GUNMARS HEAD IN YOUR HANDS HAHAHA

but now you’ve got to go to new jersey

douxie’s been instructed to stay in arcadia tho 🥺

it’s okay, you’ll see each other again soon

sooner than you realize

and until then you talk each other to sleep every night over the phone <3

merlins glad, actually. he’s glad hisirdoux found some solace. even if it is with the lamb he was raising for the slaughter. maybe things will go okay for them. the time map suggests it might be so

hisirdoux may have done things in a way he didn’t quite approve of, but that’s because he’s becoming his own wizard, and merlin is proud

[sasarahsunshine]

it’s the first girls + spencer night since the team found out about aaron and spencer dating. what questions are the girls asking him and what does he actually answer? i imagine him gushing about how romantic aaron is and all emily wants to know is how big his dick is

Firstly, I cackled when I read this. The Emily part made me choke on my water and I’m still recovering from it. Secondly- hotchreid hotchreid hotchreid yes yes yes.

It’s Saturday night, and there’s no case! Penelope has declared every Saturday home as “Girls Night.”

Spencer does not know how he’s been dragged along to every single “girls night.” He’s not a girl. But he has steady hands and Emily likes when he paints her nails, so he’s usually invited along.

He’d rather be out with Aaron this time tbh, but Penelope is really convincing.

He knew from the beginning that Penelope was acting a little suspicious.

He should have known that the second he was greeted at the door this was not going to be the usual “girls night,” where they would watch dumb movies and eat sweets and do each other’s nails.

Emily grabbed him by the collar and dragged him inside, manhandling him onto the couch. He plopped down with a pout and crossed his arms.

And then the questions came. Almost with no real time to answer them, because after JJ would ask “how did Hotch ask you out?” Penny jumped in with “OMG does he wear normal clothes outside of work?”

Emily had no shame, “How big is his dick? I bet it’s huge, right?”

Spencer’s blush and stammering had her crossing her arms over her chest with a smirk, her hand held out to Penelope, “Pay up.” Penny puts a $10 bill in Emily’s hand.

Spencer has to put his hands out and wave them around, “Everyone calm down! One question at a time!”

He knows he’s not getting out of this. Might as well resign to his fate and just let it happen.

“Okay fine, how did Hotch ask you out?”

“He, uh, came to my place. With flowers. And asked me?”

WITH FLOWERS??? Hell yeah we all know he did. He’s a romantic sap, you guys.

Penny wants to know all about Hotch’s wardrobe. Spencer tells her, “dad jeans, t-shirts. A lot of shirts with old band logos, actually. Comfortable sweats and no shirt to bed.”

Emily: But does he go commando in bed?

Spencer: I’m not answering that

Emily: so that’s a yes

Spencer ends up gushing about their first date. It was literally so romantic. A reservation at a nice restaurant, they both wore suits (or, if you love enby/feminine Spencer, he was in a very attractive neutral colored blouse and dress pants). Aaron pulled out his chair for him, ordered expensive wine/cider, paid for the whole dinner- and they talked about anything and everything. The conversation flowed so well, and they didn’t even talk about work.

And yes, the first kiss was at the door as Aaron dropped Spencer off.

Penelope and JJ are gushing and just as smitten. “Who knew Hotch was such a softie?”

Penelope feeds a very sweet, very fruity drink into Spencer. And then he starts talking about how cuddly Aaron is ;u;

(Penny can’t handle that he calls Hotch, Aaron).

We all know Aaron is touch-starved. He’s always touching Spencer when he can. At work, it might just be brushing their arms or hands against each other, or a hand on a leg under the table. At home? He’s holding Spencer in his arms when they’re on the couch. He requires Spencer to be in the office with him when he’s working (they can’t always be touching but as long as he can see Spencer he’s happy). Aaron just needs to feel Spencer’s warmth to remind himself that he’s there ;u;

Ugh now I’m getting emotional

Spencer spills that the sex is amazing. Will he tell them how? No. But it’s “literally unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced.”

Emily is SO MAD he won’t tell her how big Hotch is. She just wants a number. “6 inches? 7? 8?”

“Emily I’m not telling you-“

“It’s 8. Holy shit.”

“EMILY IM NOT TELLING YOU.”

Anyways this was fun lmao!

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
