ao3 is down, which means I can’t do my night routine (read hurt/comfort fics where character A is having a nightmare and character B calms them down)

[pduwd]

seeing all the tags from my bi appreciation post is making me so soft because we're finally getting the representation we deserve and those characters mean so much for a lot of people...sending you all the biggest hugs🩷💜💙

THESE ARE SO IMPORTANT, REPRESENTATION SAVES LIFES

I didn’t realize I needed healthy representation of other bisexual people in media until Heartstopper and RWRB gave it to me in the same week. I always feel like I have to be quiet about being bisexual, I’m always scared of being scrutinized by people outside AND inside the LGBTQ+ for it. But having three characters who I admire be bisexual and proud of it and be celebrated by people who love them nurtured parts of me that had been neglected for years.

I saw you love red, white, and royal blue and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an alternate history novel abt the 1st woman president and her secret sapphic relationship/bearded marriage with her mlm best friend. It also includes a subplot about arson at the White House, ft. An entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters, and has a really satisfying ending!

Hii!!

Honestly I hadn't heard about it but it sound so interesting and cool omg??? It’s definetly going to be either my next read or to be added to my reading list...thank you so so much for the rec!! ♡

They way Henry said ‘Most people are.’ in such a straightforward and easy way when Alex says he can’t believe how wrong he’s been about him. It hurts so much because it just shows that this wonderful person has only very rarely been able to show himself, open up, be who he wants to be. So glad he’s found Alex.

Here: I can't decide if your emails make me miss you more or less. Sometimes I feel like a funny-looking rock in the middle of the most beautiful clear ocean when I read the kind of things you write to me. You love so much bigger than yourself, bigger than everything. I can't believe how lucky I am to even witness it—to be the one who gets to have it, and so much of it, is beyond luck and feels like fate. Catholic God made me to be the person you write those things about. I'll say five Hail Marys. Muchas gracias, Santa Maria. I can't match you for prose, but what I can do is write you a list.

seems like now is a good time for a follow up to that last post

so, my thing about alex claremont diaz is that like, he’s not stupid and i don’t know why the fandom acts like he is (actually, no, i do know the answer. it’s because he’s a neurodivergent moc). he’s not really that oblivious either (i mean, he is a little bit, but not nearly as much as everyone makes him out to be), just very repressed because he grew up in an environment where being queer just wasn’t something he could do. sure, his family isn’t homophobic, but he still went to a public high school in texas and was on the lacrosse team. he and nora literally talk about how he loves texas, but always felt like their love for him was conditional. mix that with feeling like he needs to be perfect for everyone around him and his goal of congress by thirty, it’s no fuckin wonder he didn’t figure it out sooner.

also, according to the author, he has undiagnosed adhd. neurodivergent communication is different! we say things and do things and interpret things differently than neurotypical people, so something that seems obvious from an outsiders perspective isn’t as obvious to us. “how did alex not realize all the subtle hints henry was giving him!” because,,, we aren’t always great with subtle hints like that???

the “rivalry” with henry might seem ridiculous to you, but it actually makes a ton of sense to me? like, alex is a brown kid being tossed head first into a world historically built for and dominated by white, straight, neurotypical people. even if he hadn’t entirely realized that he was 0/3 of those things, it still felt like he was being pushed away from something he needed to belong in.

it’s mentioned in the closet scene (which is an important scene for both of their developments, actually, and shouldn’t just be reduced to the scene where alex realizes he’s an asshole, but actually as the scene where they realize each others motivations that kept the whole mess going) that part of why alex hates henry is that they’re constantly being compared. honestly, that line hit so fucking hard. being compared to your white peers, especially when they’ve only put in half the work you have, is so fucking infuriating. alex worked so hard for so many years and has so many dreams and goals he’s fighting for, and then this rich white kid shows up doing absolutely nothing and getting the same amount of praise. i’m not saying that henry had no goals or anything, but from alex’s perspective, henry was given the world on a fucking silver platter and decided to go sit quietly with his dog instead of doing anything useful with it.

(also, despite what everyone else says, i don’t think alex would just not realize that nora and june are dating for like a year or whatever and need to have it gently explained to him by everyone else like he’s three. that’s not who alex is. he knows his sister, and he knows his best friend.)

alex claremont-diaz is not stupid, and you all really need to stop acting like he is. (and maybe think about the reasons why you think he’s stupid)
