You know, I live on the other side of the globe. I can't watch the show on TV or on SyFy website. I got really attached to the show during these past 3 weeks. I walked into the fandom with hope. But now, when I have read all these posts about the finale and know all the spoilers, I'm leaving. I'm not going to let myself get attached to a show again. Cause I'm crushed. Seriously, why??? Why. Would. You. Do. This. Shit.
Honestly screamed at that scene because ain't that the truth
"You're bi? I'm bi too" [start making out], P'Jojo did it, he broke bisexuals down to their bare essentials
Oh god, this really strikes a chord. I struggle a lot with my identity as a queer girl because I never feel "queer enough". I identify as bi, and I have since I was 13. However, my attraction to women differs greatly from my attraction to men, and the attraction I feel towards women is more romantic than physical. And every time I am attracted to a man I start overthinking and my anxiety comes into play. I almost start shaming myself for liking men. This always makes me feel like I'm feigning my queerness and I don't deserve a place in queer spaces. The bisexual label puts some kind of pressure on me, and from time to time I don’t even want to identify as anything because I’m too confused. I’m sorry, I can’t really help, but I felt like sharing because I found someone like me and it made me feel a little bit better. At the end of the day, I know that all my crushes on girls were genuine, and I remember how and what I felt. Keeping that in mind helps me feel more secure
sometimes i feel so pressured to be “queer enough”. i know it’s the internalized biphobia, but i just feel so guilty when i talk about my attraction to women and fem-aligned people. in my attempt to become ok with my attraction to men and my own identity as a man that i lost my ability to be ok with my attraction to women. especially because my attraction to women isn’t exactly the type that men are expected to feel. i don’t want to be the dominant one in the relationship, i relate to posts that are like “i want a strong sword wife” instead of the other way around. i want to say “i love women so much” and not worry about feeling like that makes my attraction to men any less queer.
i care a lot about my place in the LGBT+ community, and i know that my place as the B in the lgBt community relates to my attraction to the same and other genders so i know it’s ok to still have m/f attraction and still secure in my indentity, hell my identity is partially BUILT on that attraction, but i feel so uncomfortable about it.
if anyone who’s bisexual or pansexual or any other multi sexual identity has any advice on feeling more secure in your m/f attraction while still feeling “queer enough” i would love some advice
GMMTV really decided to produce a show which on the surface level is about messy queers fucking the brains out of each other but on the deeper level is really about the power dynamics in queer relationships and how important having control is for so many people
it's the way Top is used to having the upper hand, but in his new relationship it's Mew who has control
it's the way Sand is so afraid of losing control over his own emotions in his relationship with Ray, but he's bound to catch feelings, we all know it
it's the way Boston doesn't get attached to anyone but loses control in his pursuit of Top
it's all about who's got the power, who protected their heart the best
Ну и шо тут делать на Тумблере?
Christelle Dabos is the master of slow-burn romance. She manages to make the reader feel all of the anticipation, uncertainty, pining and burning the main characters feel. The number of times I had to put away the book to scream into my pillow or squeeze the fabric of my shirt after reading some scenes with Thorn and Ophelia is a testament to her skills. Ophelia and Thorn's romance is reminiscent of that of Lizzy and Mr Darcy's in Pride and Prejudice in the way that most of it goes on inside their heads or during brief and tense conversations. Yet, I kept devouring chapter after chapter, hoping to see another one of their interactions.
So when we see the romance blossom and the characters admit their feelings for one another TO themselves (because they're dumb-dumbs and I love them), it's incredibly rewarding
TL;DR: Christelle Dabos is a queen and Ophelia and Thorn are my new OTP
I want to say something
Harry Potter was my shelter. I used to read and re-read the series over and over again as a means to escape reality, to escape my thoughts. When I was about 12, I started having problems with my mental health. My anxiety, social anxiety in particular, was crippling. So I was reading Harry Potter on an endless loop, obsessing to the point where I couldn't let myself go to sleep without reading at least a page from whatever book I was re-reading at the moment (yeah, I know it's bad). So the series was my escape, and it will forever have a special place in my heart.
BUT
I'm grown up now, and J. K. Rowling spouting that shit causes so much pain. Seriously, can this woman own up to her shit and just... I don't know... Shut it? Like, permanently?
Also, the series is full of harmful things which are subtle enough you don't notice them as a kid and they settle down deep inside of you and influence your view of the world (a race BORN to be slaves, antisemitic stereotypes, lack of diversity, etc) and if anyone wants to trash-talk the books with me I'm always ready.
To conclude, fuck J. K.
Let's just collectively rewrite the series
I'm pretty sure All The Young Dudes has its own fandom at this point
Truly a masterpiece of fanfiction
you ever read a fic so good you want to write fanfiction for the fic?
