Me: I really don't think I should be diagnosing fictional characters!

Also me:...Except that Trevor has ADHD, Hetty suffers from depression, anxiety and is almost certainly autistic, Isaac has at least two personality disorders, Elias is psychopathic, Sam epitomizes "anxious attachment" style, and... :)

you forgot to mention that Isaac is autistic too 0:!

me seeing the discourse in the ghosts fandom rn:

#nope kjahdshdkja #not gonna get involved #just reblogged something yesterday and I think that will be everything #too many angy peeps #and I already have enough discourse with my main fandom akjdshajk

in another topic I've seen around a lot too, I've had these thoughts on my mind for a while... y'see, people say that the good thing about ao3 is that it has no censorship, which I agree, bcus it's actually good to have a place where ppl can write what they want

but I think there are certain rules that should apply

for example, in a fandom I'm in, there's an ugly creep guy who has been "stealing" people's ocs and writing humiliation fics of them where the ocs get turned into a slave for his oc, involving r*pe scenarios even, just to "upset" ppl in the fandom (basically revenge porn bcus he's a far-r*ght jerk)... the owners of said ocs (including me bcus the guy also targeted me) have been reporting those to ao3, but they say that the guy is not breaking any rule... which is like... -insert grimace here-

like... if the owner of an original character, who's not even the creator of any media, didn't give permission for a story like that to be written about their character, ao3 should listen, idk

howfrightening

on queer representation, censorship, and allowing for all opinions about it in ghosts AS A QUEER PERSON-

representation does not exist as a set form. it is widely varied and often multiple forms exist at once; the forms taking turns, fading in and out, do not negate the existence of the other forms taking place. the lack of nigel in season 5 of ghosts does NOT mean that there is no queer rep or that it is bad. nor does it mean it is censorship.

censorship is a very real and serious thing, and when we throw that word around just because a ship is no longer together it diminishes the actual conversations we could have about how representation could be better. ex: nisaac breaking up is not censorship, however, i do think there could have been more than one kiss for the couple considering they were engaged.

claiming the lack of nisaac is censorship does not take into account the fact that nisaac broke up because isaac lusted after another man; going back to my original point- representation exists in many forms. ghosts having its gay character show explicit and unfiltered lust for another man is also queer rep. it’s blatant, it’s real, it’s adult. representation is providing examples of real people as they are; lust and being messy and toxic and regretting it are all things real adults experience or go through, That is also important representation because it’s relatable. it is also not censorship to have isaac have a character arc that is not centered around nigel, which naturally lessens the chances for nigel to appear because, yes this is said a lot but it’s the Reality, there are only 22 minutes an episode and this is a sitcom. it is not the nisaac nor isaac show and sometimes time just doesn’t allow (trust me i would personally love for it to be the hetty show but it’s not). as a queer person, i loved that isaac’s storyline was something completely new this season, because ~I~ feel like when a queer character’s storylines and arcs only center their relationship then it becomes pandering (i know it’s not “only” i am being hyperbolic).

and just because queer rep is important does not mean that the rep for others isn’t as well; the show feeling “straight” fails to remember that there is important representation in the fact that alberta, a black woman, and sasappis, an indigenous man, were rightfully given opportunities to explore romance and relationships this season after not having them up until the end of season 4.

and then, i am going to be that bitch, this is a sitcom. not only is it a sitcom, it is an american sitcom on cbs where the MAJORITY audience is middle america. they are not online, they are “average” families, and for ghosts to, again, show explicit queer lust is actually huge. also, isaac being gay isnt just pushed aside or not shown any love; the christmas special’s emotional thread Was isaac being proud to be gay (as it is explicitly said by sam) and how the world in which he is not is Wrong.

i am not trying to downplay anyone’s feelings and frustrations. cause like look, i cried over trevor kissing patience lmao, but as i said before i think it’s important to hear multiple opinions and not let one opinion exist as a monolith. and, i hope that it can give some people some hope back because i think when you exist in an echo chamber of only one opinion then it’s easier to just spiral and doom about it.

lil thoughts on the upcoming ghosts season finale (not a complaint, but a hopeful thought tainted with pessimism (?))

in all the other season finales, Nigel has always been present ;v; so I'm lowkey hoping he appears in the finale... but at the same time I'm 98% sure that he won't appear and it breaks my heart </333

the finale sounds fun, don't get me wrong, I'm actually hyped for it as usual, but I want nigel too (?)
