Straight as Silly String

So, it’s only been within the last year and a half or so that I’ve started to realize I am both gray-romantic and Bisexual. I’ve always either been in denial or just had no fucking clue because queer terms are still things I’m learning.

Anyway, on this journey, I’ve noticed something that’s really starting to piss me off. And just what is that?

Well, it’s the notion hammered into us that the character cast of any given media source is Straight until proven Queer. and it pisses me the hell off!

Example? Well, have you ever written a fic or draw a pic of a same-sex ship and someone comments something like “How can you ship that?! There’s no canon evidence they’re gay!”

I always just agreed or don’t respond because I don’t have the mental energy to fight it. But what I always want to say is “Well, there’s no canon evidence they’re straight either!” when a character doesn’t have a canon relationship. Or if they do have a canon relationship, I find myself wanting to say “well, you don’t know that they’re not not Bi!”.

Why is it that every character has to be explicitly straight until there’s canon evidence of being queer?

Reremembered this fever dream of chaos is a movie that exists and it needed reblogged.

I know many people may not see this but. I am begging everyone who does to watch A Town Called Panic. It’s an hour-long, French, stop motion comedy and a wonderful thing to have on with a bunch of friends. It’s got one of the most erratic plots and is so stupidly well made it genuinely makes me mad. It’s on YouTube for free, and probably other places, just. Please. Get a few friends and watch this stupid movie I need more people to know about it and be talking about it.

Ikigai

So these last couple of days I've been meaning to find out wtf ikigai stands for. I don't know why, but it was one of those thoughts that you forget but always remember.

or those who don't know Ikigai means a reason to live, but feel free to correct me.

It's now safe to say that I am both actively looking for a reason to live while also questioning it, even by complete accident.

the fact that the first female human experience barbie goes through is being self conscious and experiencing sexual harassment mirrors how growing up as a girl one day you’re okay and the next all of a sudden you feel bad about your appearance and are receiving unwanted advances is something that can be so fucking important to be recognized in film

fuck romance, have you ever had a friendship where you both agree that you are the single most important person to each other? one where you feel like you are kindred souls and that you can talk to each other about literally anything because you both just get it? one where there's nothing you can say or do around them that would embarrass you even a little bit? cuz that shit is so much more powerful than romance just trust me dude

Not quite forgotten songs

Y'know what I think we need to appreciate more?

Songs which you haven't heard for years and then you finally find them.

I don't know how to explain the feeling, but it's just so enjoyable.

Accurate watching of smiling friends

My husband made me watch smiling friends. We watched the two seasons, one episode after another...

What the hell was that?
