being a shivgirl and a romangirl is actually about experiencing horrible despair whenever shiv embarrasses herself or is shut out in a room full of men and absolute euphoria when roman bombs every one of his goals and tries to kill himself
learning that tim’s ambiguous feelings blossomed into love for bern of all people was, quite frankly, jarring bc it’s like learning superman wasn’t just lusting after lana lang in high school, but pete ross too. nothing wrong with timmers getting his mans, but the fact that bernbear beat all the “forgettable side-side-side character” allegations, copped a hot robin as a boyfriend, AND killed timkon nation in one fell sweep…. have to salute a motherfucker for his swag 🫡 here’s to hoping clark kent comes out as bi during superman’s 100th anniversary, and admits he WAS in fact deeply in love with pete as well as lana, so we can come full circle and get some closure for the true supes/pete ratchetry that was their silver age relationship.

Wanted to make a post about what's going on in turkey but I'm so fucking tired
Do you ever think about how a single misguided study on wolves in captivity has resulted in both the most widespread toxic pseudoscientific theory in the manosphere and what is arguably the weirdest genre of graphic kinky gay fanfiction and depending on who you are and what you've seen you'll hear the word Alpha and either think of the platonic ideal of a cis het man or one feral mediocre middle aged actor's dick knot impregnating another's slick-drenched hole. Isn't the internet a wondrous place.
Lots of people talk about the Captain’s arc like it’s entirely about him learning that it’s okay to be gay (homosexual). But I think, really, it’s far more about him learning that it’s okay to be gay (happy). That’s what’s actually changed about him from series to series, really - he’s gradually become more free and open and honest about everything. The man went from being the most strongly disliked member of a group of people who all already disliked each other, to being a supportive friend, and a surrogate father figure, and a guy who can find simple, peaceful pleasure in sitting and watching a colony of ants go about its business.
(And, you know, a guy who’s also still kind of a dick sometimes - but would we really want him not to be?)
But his sexuality is, obviously, still his biggest hurdle, and I think that’s why it’s taken so long. It has to be the last thing because it’s the culmination of all of it. He can’t get to a place where he can fully accept that he’s allowed to be one of those definitions of the word without also fully accepting that he’s allowed to be the other. It’s a coming out story where coming out is just that one final piece of a much bigger puzzle - but, of course, placing the piece is the only way to finish the picture
Book Armand: I’m only desired for my perceived boyish innocence which I very intentionally play up, but I despise everyone who falls for it. Such is my fate.
Book Daniel: Wow I look at you and see some type of freakazoid as yet undiscovered by science. An abomination, if you will.
