In the final Pride Month throwback, @gnjoneswriter lays out her argument for The Unkillable Queer in fiction.

Trailer park Steve AU part 11

part 1 | part 10 | ao3

cw: period-typical homophobic language, explicit sexual content (if you are under 18 then kindly GO ON NYOW GIT come back when you grow your first gray pube)

It feels crazy, after all that, to just get up and face the day. Feels like last Fall all over again: he’s concussed in the back of class getting bagel crumbs on a worksheet with his face still pulverized. There’s a gross pang in his chest as he goes about his morning routine, his heart all squishy and bruised like some dickhead smashed a plate over it, but whatever, he guesses. Public education and minimum wage wait for no one.

Robin grills him the whole car ride: “Oh, my god, is he okay?? Is he alive? Is your mom okay? What the hell, Steve?” and he lets her ramble with wide, worried eyes; doesn’t even get to the part about Eddie. When they pull up to the school she gets out of the car and comes around to his side, knocks on his window and leans in when he rolls it down to give him a ridiculously long hug.

"Robinnn," he grumbles; his face is mashed against her boobs. "People are gonna think we're dating."

She bends to hug him tighter still, her bony ass hanging out his window where the whole school can see. "I'd date you in a second."

"You've literally said that you wouldn't."

"Platonically, I would!!"

She gives him one last squeeze, and he watches her waddle off, trumpet case awkwardly smacking her calves.

And then he just... goes to work. He goes to stand around a nearly empty store and pretend like he even has any work to do, restocks the already full displays of candy and buffs the countertops until they shine. Three hours in and he's run out of ways to look busy and Keith is “doing admin stuff” in the back, so he gives his mom a call. Makes sure she's okay; did she eat anything yet; any updates on Ernie?

She’s fine, she's not hungry, he's alive but that's all they know for now, her tone distantly polite like Steve's nothing more than a friendly cold caller.

He shoves his fingers in his eyes ’til he sees stars when they hang up.

He calls the Henderson house next, leaves a message to apologize for skipping out early, promises that he'll be there next Wednesday and he can bring dessert this time. There’s a lunch rush after that, but the day still drags like a bad hangover, a dull throbbing in his bones, and when he finally gets home he collapses onto his bed and passes out on top of the covers with his dumb work vest still on.

Eddie's acting weird.

Steve sees him again on Friday, spots him and his uncle having a smoke out on the porch and wanders over to say hello. Wayne seems happy enough to chat; gives him all the news on Ernie — "Bastard's unkillable," he says, almost impressed. He’s stable now, should be home any day.

Eddie, on the other hand, spends the entire interaction behaving like a skittish cat, eyes darting to and from Steve, leg jiggling as he quietly puffs his cig.

Steve half expects him to slink off and come back to drop a dead mouse at his feet.

He feels his brows knit together, agitation creeping in. It's not like he thought they'd be best friends after a single night of ceasefire or anything — as if they'd start braiding each other's hair and trading their deepest, darkest secrets or whatever queer shit — but like…

He thought they might be cool now. At least a little bit.

And Eddie's not being rude to him, exactly, but that's somehow even worse. The polite disinterest. The subtle shift to the left. Back and away.

“Okay, well, uh...” Steve glances at Eddie, who's looking anywhere but him. Fucking fascinated by a loose thread on his ripped jeans, apparently, plucking at it with anxious fingers. “See ya around, I guess?”

Wayne says not be a stranger, and Eddie gives him a quick nod. “See ya.”

Steve grinds his teeth about it for the rest of the afternoon, then decides, like, screw this. It's a Friday night; he's not sitting around sulking all evening because Eddie Munson hurt his feelings.

He calls up a girl — some pretty blonde chick he remembers from the cheer squad — and sets up a date for later that night. Takes her to the drive-in, buys her a vanilla shake. The date's fine; it's good; it's fine. She's pretty enough, and she offers to suck him off when the main feature starts.

It’s not a good blowjob. Arguably one of the worst ones Steve’s had, and he’s had quite a few. She keeps gagging herself with these gross squelching sounds, barely getting even half of his dick in her tiny mouth and not bothering to use her hands to make up the difference. Just leaves them resting on Steve’s thighs while she makes fake whimpering moans like she’s sooo turned on by this; fucking as if; and somewhere in the middle of her repetitive, sloppy bobbing his mind starts to wander off. To the trailer, to the lot fees, the fucking pharmacy bills. Their ever-dwindling savings and what percentage of them he just wasted on this lackluster movie night; surely they’re gonna run out any day now; tick tock, tick tock.

"Um," the girl squeaks as she pulls off with a gross slurp. Steve looks down at his lap, sees he's gone soft. "Am I, like, doing something wrong, or...?"

Her voice is high and quiet, innocent and sweet, and Steve feels like an asshole. He squeezes himself at the base, gives a few quick strokes to get himself up again. "No, you're perfect, honey," he lies. "Stick out your tongue for me?"

She bats her eyes demurely and rolls over onto her side, gives him some kind of sexy pout before opening her mouth so he can jerk off over her. Steve works his wrist; tries not to be rude and look away, but her colors are all wrong. Strawberry hair. Blue irises. He squeezes his eyes shut, moves his hand faster and thinks of dark brown. Dark hair, dark lashes, dark eyes like the deep woods. Endless. Sort of mesmerizing. Nancy? "Oh, fuck," he gasps as he comes.

The girl squeals and jerks away from him, hands flying to her face. "Oh, my god! Oh, my god! You got it in my nose!"

"Sorry,” Steve grunts, shuddering through an aftershock. There’s cum on his hand, on his pants; all over this poor girl’s face. He thinks he got some in her eyelashes. "Shit, sorry, let me, uh—"

He leans over and rifles through the glove box, trying to find a napkin for her. No dice. Best he can do is an old McDonald's wrapper with a grease stain on the side. "Here, does— does this work?"

“Ew!”

“Sorry, I mean it’s that or my shirt, but then I’d have to drive you home shirtless, so-”

“Ugh,” she gives him a bitchy look. Tries to, anyway. One eye is glued shut. “Just give me that, please.”

His limp, spitty cock is still hanging from his pants when he passes her the wrapper. Flaccid and sad, like a white flag of surrender, and a bubble of hysterical laughter slips out. A choked burst of it, a pufferfished pfffft as it explodes past his lips. He’s not sure if it's the orgasm or the ridiculousness of the situation or if he's just plain lost his mind, but the girl glares at him, which...

There's still a glob of jizz on her cheek, so it doesn’t help matters much.

"I think you should take me home."

"Y-yep. Sorry. Yeah."

“Like now.”

Steve tucks himself into his jeans.

don't get me wrong, 'rogue' is a great episode, but i've been buzzing with anger since it came out because what the fuck do you mean "first gay kiss"? and this isn't just because i'm a ninejackrose truther (i am), it's because jack harkness has been openly canonically in love with the doctor since 2005. he kissed him on the mouth in 2005 and it was earnest and flagrantly queer. jack harkness has been an unkillable faggot on family television since 2005 and you WILL put some fucking respect on his name because that shit is important. and even if jack harkness hadn't initiated the first gay kiss on doctor who, then there have still been times when the doctor has kissed men. and even if you write those off as platonic, what about the fucking sapphics that all of you are deciding to ignore? what about madame vastra and jenny, a married couple. or, more recently, the very notably lesbian bill kissing heather. and even all of this flippantly treats the historical queer subtext of the show as unimportant.

tl;dr, the fifteen did not have the first gay kiss on doctor who so stop fucking saying that

[forthehonorofraeskull]

fuck bury your gays i love a good unkillable gay. make them survive truly any and every situation to the point where it’s actually unreasonable. like no that absolutely SHOULD HAVE killed them they just have that magical queer aura that wards off evil

i've finally started watching a lot of matt baume's queer history videos and it really is changing my brain in a way other methods of combating internalized homophobia have not. there is something about knowing with certainty and clarity that i am part of this incredible legacy and have a sacred responsibility to our community across time that knocks the wind out of me and makes me unkillable

[fuck-you-upmusicbracket]

DESTROYA (My Chemical Romance)

If what you are/Is just what you own/What have you become/When they take from you/Almost everything?/You don't believe in/God I don't believe in luck/They don't believe in us/But I believe we're the enemy!

"This song fuels me with so much queer rage and passion like. I can barely explain it. To me it’s like this feeling of “even if there’s nothing out there to save us, and the whole world’s against us, we’re together and we’re unkillable and we’re gonna destroy whatever comes after us if need be.” Honestly the whole album this song’s from screams queer rage."

John My Beloved (Sufjan Stevens)

I love you more than the world can contain/In its lonely and ramshackle head/There's only a shadow of me/In a matter of speaking, I'm dead

"AAAAAAAYAGAAUAGAAGGAHAHUGGGGAGAAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHAUHUUAAAAAAHAHHHHHHAHAHAHAAAAAAUUUHHOOAYAGGGGGHHHIHHHHPAUHHHHHHUOUHHHHHHHHH,H"

Took a break from work art to indulge the massive Torchwood nostalgia kick I'm on right now and draw myself a self-indulgent Jack in the Leyendecker-esque style I've used a few times before.

I love this guy dearly, great big irrepressible, unkillable queer space disaster that he is, truly one of the Characters of All Time, and it's a crime and a travesty that it's been nearly five years since I last drew him.

Fireweed is a plant known for its Resilience. It gets it's name in America due to it often being the first thing to grow and blossom after forest fires tear through an area. In the UK I am told it is sometimes known by the name Bombweed as a result of its rapid appearance on city bomb sites during the Blitz of World War II. And anecdotally, a dear friend told me once, when on a landslide site for work, they saw it growing tall and proud in the body of a landslide that completely destroyed a large forested area, so much so that there was not even dirt remaining for plants to grow in, only sand and gravel and boulders the size of cars. and yet, the fireweed Persisted. [wikipedia even tells me it can grow on solid granite if it feels so inclined] THIS I think, at least to me, is the energy of our present times, for those of us who are Queer and/or Trans. They are trying to destroy us, to blaze our communities to the ground, but we cannot be deterred, and they Cannot Kill Us, no matter how hard they try. Our Roots will always find water, no matter how far they have to grow to do so. We are carving ourselves into the earth, cracking concrete with our collective strength, growing stronger together, and purifying the soil for future generations to thrive as we do. We are Unkillable, we are Fireweed. 🤟✊ 🏳️‍⚧️

If I see one more person calling the literal embodiment of nature’s life and death cycles “clingy,” I will flip a table and screech like a possessed pterodactyl.

Rio has existed and will exist for eternity. Yes Agatha is badass and fascinating and yes Rio is hopelessly in love with her but Rio isn’t anyone’s appendage, she is her own intriguing character and I don’t even think Agatha would show her such irreverence. Please stop putting a nonwhite queer female character in this cramped little “psycho ex” box. It’s a funny joke and also a poignant tragedy that she is so hung up on the most annoyingly unkillable witch ever, but only one of a multitude of dimensions Aubrey Plaza gives us.

So why is the Flagellant a radioactive zombie freak now. Is that ever explained. What did he do to himself between games. He went too far. His fit too mid. His swag too pious. His smoke too repentant. They turned him into a skelebone. I didn't ask questions about the scholarly dude who narrates because dead zombie narrators are a fixture of DD at this point. The Heir fucked up big time clearly! How many unkillable eldritch planet-hearts do you have to beat up to get the job done around here? They have to be soooo embarrassed when they go to the next city over and it's overrun and on fire with screeching skinless cultists.

This gang of queers died so embarrassingly I got second-hand cringe from it.

[duck-newton]

I love that TAZ is working hard to subvert the “bury your gays” trope, mostly because it’s an overplayed and queerphobic trope but also because it means that any queer NPC from this point forward is unkillable

If it were any other narrative I would’ve said Kodeira was doomed by the narrative to die at the hands of Coda to save the world or whatever bullshit but don’t worry, she’s queer-coded so she’ll be fine
