I don’t know if the recent surge of online homophobic and transphobic hatred in India is just because more people are becoming aware of the LGBTQIA+ community and their first instinct is to leave a hate comment.

I don’t know if it’s because there are more open and visible Indian queer folks online now.

I don’t know if this will translate into more hatred in real life towards queer folks.

I just think it’s ironic. That a country with so much queer history and a passion towards love is demonising queer love.

.

Homophobia is a western concept.

Hiii,I saw your posts after a long time here.How are you doing??

I’ve been doing quite well! I was doing an advanced baking diploma for the past six months (I’m a chef when I’m not interneting!)

so I didn’t have the time to be on Tumblr and YouTube. But I’m back now and it feels vvvv nice to be Tumblr stimulated once again

ain’t no feed like a Tumblr feed.

Thanks for asking! Hope you’re doing well and drinking water 🫡 💕

I’m pretty certain that were Xena and Gabrielle allowed to be a maintext canon couple confirmed in the show itself and be physically intimate on-screen, this is what they would have been like as a couple. I mean everything else that they had is there and can be seen in WayHaught. Maybe not to as intense of a degree but nevertheless,.. definitely there. The strong love declarations through action, insane emotional intimacy and chemistry and connection, the hurt/comfort trope, the sacrificing for each other’s life or safety, being each other’s moral compass when things get dark. I think really the only thing WayHaught are missing is the slow burn best friends-to-lovers journey which defines the depth of Xena and Gabrielle’s love. Also the whole yin-yang and soulmates thing but that’s subjective anyway. But pretty much everything else is there. It’s like Xena and Gabrielle walked so Nicole and Waverly could fly. Which is very beautiful.

I just want people to always be reminded that Xena and Gabrielle were the greenlight for WLW on TV. It’s because of them that baby steps became significant strides in breaking down the walls. It’s precisely why WLW relationships like Tillow and WayHaught exist. Every little piece of sincere WLW representation that we have in TV art/entertainment today was achieved because of the creators of ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’. It’s something I’m always going to think about when I see blatantly explicit WLW representation of any kind. That they were bare bones but we wouldn’t have the full embodiment of WLW in TV art/entertainment without them through other characters and other actresses. Always continuing to pass on the torch.

Cannot overstate how much that spongebob scene that went

Somsone: "spongebob you look like a girl"

Spongebob: "am I a pretty girl?"

Like was such a legit game changer for me as a kid

I remember that family and grownups and other kids at school would tell me in a sort of mean-spirited way "you look/sound/act/dress/talk like a boy" and I'd just be like

"Am I a pretty boy?"

There were other unexpected things that came from that long-term I think but that'sprobably where it started being fun

Petition to get publishers to release closeted friendly versions of queer books with like puppies on them 🥲🌈

[elainiisms]

every single trope is better with sapphics btw

[prarthanaprasad]

There are a million different personal experiences and circumstances that impact the decisions we make. Safety should always be the number one prior

But there is no queer Indian identity without queer Indians living in India

There is no queer progress in India without queer Indians fighting for it
