marti noxon really ate with what's my line part 2, like can you imagine it's 1998 and you tune in on tuesday night for buffy and then you see angel bratting out at spike while he's tied up being tortured by drusilla who then makes out with spike while he's choking angel?? and it's not a sex dream you're having or a livejournal fic you're reading it's the real actual show on your real actual television????
*looking at two people who completely hate each others guts and would kill each other*
Woaow! :) Iāve always loved the way they loved <3
Giles is "English teacher all the queer kids imprint on" coded which explains why no one finds it weird those kids just hang out at the library all day
the strongest bond is probably pad wings to themselves. the weakest is probably pad wings to your underwear

Casting lightning magic alone in the parking lot
Buffy being terrible at lying and making up cover stories will never not be awesome to me. Like right the gym had asbestos, youāre in a band, the minister is performing a c section
special mention to the time she pulled back her hair and put on glasses and a lab coat to go incognito in the evil scientist's HQ.
or the the time she put on a black beanie and a sad face to hide from law enforcement
Risk is always better than regret
Something something Xander dreaming of being the savior to Buffy, the vampireslayer with unimaginable strength and Spike dreaming of being a damsel in distress being saved by Buffy while being a damsel in distress
oh harrow.. what did you do?
(pic from me and @discount-kirishima 's harrow cosplay shoot)
it really is kind of interesting how attached people are to the idea of the improvised line and the genuine reaction in film. nearly every single famous moment or line has some sort of claim floating around that it wasn't in the script and was either made up on the spot by an actor or was sprung as a surprise on the actors to get their 'real' reaction. you know, sometimes people do come up with good lines in advance and write them down, and sometimes people can pretend to be have a convincing emotional response on screen
(no beers in) So how do you perceive me in the privacy of your thoughts
And that's that on that.
Apparently I wasn't done š¤
These are FABULOUS, OP, but can I suggest one to the riff of "QUEERNESS IS NOT DEFINED BY THE AMOUNT PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED"?
Thanks! Here you go š„°
Some other additions:
Inspired by @unicorn-in-the-library:
And because @surfs-up-roxy wanted an ace one:
I didn't want to make the message ace-specific because I wanted to make a point of how all of the above include aspec people, but I tried to use an ace colour palette for the background :) I also think the message applies especially (even if not exclusively) to the ace community!
Hope you like these š„°
@rockmarina possibly āall labels were made up at one point, stop being an assā?
I played around with the concept a bit, I hope you like it anyway!
I feel like this also needs to be said:
[ID:
Image 1: (in white text, on a background of rainbow watercolors) Gatekeeping hurts queer people who are questioning.
Image 2: (in white text, on a background of rainbow paint strokes) Gatekeeping hurts more queer people than it protects.
Image 3: (in white text, on a background of pastel watercolors) How about you let people question their gender and sexuality in peace.
Image 4: (in white text, on a photo of the rainbow pride flag flying in a blue sky) People donāt owe you a chronicle of their life experiences and feelings for you to decide whether they belong in their own community.
Image 5: (in white text, on a marbled pink background) I donāt know how to tell you this, but you are not the queer police.
Image 6: (in white text, on a background of multicolored textile) Stop siding with our oppressors.
Image 7: (in white text, on a photo of pieces of chalk arranged in a rainbow on asphalt) Not every queer personās experiences need to be like yours.
Image 8: (in white text, on a background of shiny, rainbow chunks of metal (?)) Mind your own damn business.
Image 9: (in white text, on a mottled black & rainbow background) Let people change labels.
Image 10: (in white text, on a photo of a full moon in a dark sky) Thereās no such thing as not being queer enough.
Image 11: (in white text, on a background of paint strokes in pink, white, magenta, purple and dark blue, the colors of the genderfluid pride flag) Vocabulary is designed to be constantly reinvented as human societies evolve, and labels arenāt the exception.
Image 12: (in white text, on a background of pink, purple, and turquoise) Gatekeeping is a product of privilege.
End ID]
Thanks so much for the image descriptions!
Here's one more addition per @secretlycrazyhummingbird's suggestion:
[Image description: (in white text, over a black background with trees decorated with multi-colored lights) Queer people don't have to make themselves palatable to deserve respect. End ID]
And another one, per @mixed-bag-of-tricks's suggestion!
[Image description: (in white text, over a wooden background with curved boards the colours of the rainbow) It's okay to use a label even if it doesn't fit perfectly. End ID]
...you know what, I think the message of this post really boils down to this:
[ID: (in white text, over a black background with striking rainbow lights) gatekeepers are nothing but bullies. End ID]
And I'm really glad this post has helped so many people feel a bit less alone in their struggles. Bullies have made a LOT of damage in this communityāhave made so many of us feel like impostors, like trenders, like maybe we were making up the things we were feelingāand it makes me so happy we're all pushing back against their hateful, narrow-minded, queerphobic rhetoric.
Keep it up, everyone šŖš¼
