Ruben telling Niall he can try walking in his shoes but they'll always slip off.

Niall dispassionately fucking men, always topping, sometimes being rough, making poor twinks call him "daddy" because he was called "son" that time he lost his virginity. Almost always doing it in public because he was being watched that first time.

His sexuality is so wrapped in Ruben, it's not possible to separate the two of them.

kind of insanely hot that richard gadd wrote a story about a little doe-eyed guy being held in a literal and figurative chokehold by a bigger more masculine man who calls him "bambi" and jamie bell was like this is awesome i want to be bambi but i want you to be my ruben and because of this richard gadd transformed his whole body. to embody ruben. so that hed look as big as possible, and jamie would look as little as possible next to him, and their characters would be as physically different as possible... just an undeniably sexy thing to have happened no matter how you spin it

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

inexplicably the funniest thing in the world to me is when video game tooltips are also vaguely applicable to real life. i love when The Sims is like “keep your neighbors out by locking your door!” yes queen i will
