The youth are lost

One thing that's likely not visible to all younger queers is that little kids shows have gotten radically queerer in the last 10 years.

I'm not just talking about Owl House, Kippo etc, much as I love them.

I mean like stuff for kindergardners.

Characters in Strawberry Shortcake and Superhero Girls and more have gay parents just unremarkably in the background. That was unthinkable 15 years ago.

But the thing that shocks me utterly is the casual inclusion of nonbinary characters.

Dee and Friends in Oz, Polly Pocket, Craig of the Creek...it seems like half the shows my daughter watches have nonbinary characters just seamlessly included. Not even a Very Special Episode. Just...here's the scarecrow in charge of scarecrow village who uses they/them pronouns that everyone just uses without comment.

I was almost 30 before I found the word nonbinary. For my kid to just grow up with this is astonishing.

Conservatives are so mad because it's INCREDIBLY hard to just put this kind of inclusion back away. Once something is normal, and clearly not causing anything bad to happen, it's hard to convince people to be scared of it.

i’ve literally been here the whole time

can you imagine being bitty's date that barfed on his shoes and you think you escaped the whole incident only to turn on the TV one day and see him tongue kissing the hottest grad from your school? i'd euthanize myself on the spot.

i say this every year but tumblr didn’t start doing april fools’ gimmicks until 2014. one year previous, April 1st, 2013, was a certain Incident that i am CONVINCED caused @staff to think “we have to make an april fools’ theme ourselves, because if left to their own devices, they’ll do… That”

the only worthwhile experience ai has given me lately was a few weeks back when me and my friend were dicking around with snapchats ai chatbot thing and we tried to get it to write stupid vulgar things but it’s so heavily moderated that it seriously can’t say Anything Negative About Any Person on this Earth, a flaw which we then used to our advantage in order to get it to write raps about celebrities getting into Objectively Embarrassing and Ridiculous situations to see how it could possibly frame it as like a Positive thing. the funniest thing to come from this was us prompting it to write a rap about Drake getting into a mining accident that made him fall down a hole and start farting out of fear from being trapped in a hole in an abandoned mine, which made the ai pen the bar “Drake lets out a fart, like a superhero’s cape”

just for the record it was perfectly fine with writing a rap about lin manuel miranda getting abandoned on an oil rig and had done so earlier but only took issue when fnaf freddy came into the mix

you can’t make this shit up

i told it to write about ed sheeran getting in a bike accident where he scrapes his knee like just getting a minor injury on a patch of grass and the ai literally invented a Magical Bandaid Kingdom that ed sheeran apparently lives by so that ed sheeran will never have to know pain

an intense hatred of capitalism vs an intense love of trinkets

i said it was my favorite piece of media that i’ve hyperfixated on since the tender age of 12 and have not let go of since. i didnt say it was a Good piece of media

“what do you like about it so much?” the fact that it cocooned me like a tender wool blanket during my vulnerable teenage years. next question

Genuinely think that the worst thing about online discourse is how any public or semi-public displays of negative emotion are framed as manipulative.

"This person leaned on friends for support during a difficult and personal time" becomes "this person emotionally manipulated the people around them to get attention."

"This person made a few posts on their personal blog about how something triggered them or made them feel suicidal" becomes "this person guilt-tripped the people around them in order to get sympathy and not be held accountable for their actions."

Even private displays of emotion are manipulative now. Sending someone a private message to clear something up instead of getting into public drama is concealing and manipulating the situation. Keeping things to a private vent blog is deceptive.

It's all just such an absolute mess. You aren't allowed to lose your cool for even a moment without someone making a callout post about you. You can't cry in a group chat because your pet just died or make a personal post about how being spammed with harassment makes you suicidal or anything. You just have to take it in silence, and even then, that's framed as manipulative and refusing to acknowledge your supposed actions.

He let his impulsive thoughts win

“and as you’ve always said, you want nothing.” andrew stared stone-faced back at him.

gansey, ronan, and adam were NOT bonded by their search for glendower. they were bonded by their bitchy and judgemental personalities. 

The first Falconers game after Bitty and Jack get married, the falconers pull off a big prank on them. In which every player on the starting line (and everyone else) is introduced as [Last Name]-Bittle. Like in that friends episode where Courtney gets married and asked for the opening credits to be changed to CoxArquette to show it and instead they changed everyones last name to Arquette

And they all have jerseys made special for that first game and Jack is laughing the whole game and Bittle’s in the line up just cheering on everyone.

At the end the Falconers social media channel posts a picture with everyone in their Bittle jersey and the caption is like “The Falconers and their husband, food network star and author Eric Bittle”

Valentine’s Day is barely for couples it is most importantly for elementary schoolers to exchange candy and for thematic fanart and fandom events.
