I WILL NOT BE FIGHTING JOSHUA WILLIAMSON IN THE PIT THIS DAY

Okay now that I’ve gotten that burst of manic energy out of my system, a confession:

I haven’t read a Flash comic since the end of the Trickster arc which was...30 issues ago. I have no idea what anyone is doing anymore. What’s Bart up to? Who knows. Wally and Wallace are...somewhere. Avery seems to be around in this arc again, I did glimpse her. But literally all it took was someone saying “hey, Thad is in a comic that came out today” and I lost my goddamn mind. Because I mean, it’s more than just him BEING HERE, which honestly would have been enough for me in 2015. Hell, it would have been enough in 2010.

But for him to be here and for a character DC actually cares about to say to Thad “your future isn’t set in stone, you don’t have to follow the shitty path that was laid out for you”...that’s amazing, that’s my heart clenching in my chest. That’s the kind of thing we wanted to have happen all the way back in 2000, that’s the kind of thing I never expected to see.

I have been saying, for the majority of my life at this point, I’ve been saying, that teen villains whose backstory is “we were raised to believe this, we were placed on the road to great evil from the start”...they don’t have to be like that. Especially clone characters like Thad. “I’m going to live out my creator’s wishes because I don’t know what else to do or how else to live” slowly morphing into “I’m going to live out my creator’s wishes in my own way, because I like everyone else that my most hated enemy is connected to and I want to still live among them and be loved as my own person” was such a good idea, executed so heartbreakingly that it’s like. Of course this character has stuck with me all this time. Of course I’m 30 years old and, having suffered through Thad’s character being mangled and his subsequent murder, I’m so excited to see him, the real him, again after all this time.

It’s so wild that I’ve loved this incredibly minor character who got NO respect on his name for SO long (over 20 years at this point) and now I get to see all these other, younger people on the internet finding him for the first time and reading Mercury Falling for backstory and getting upset that he’s been put through such a ringer for NO good reason and I just. Hey guys, nice to meet y’all.

books?? amazing. paperbacks?? soft, cozy, may fit in your pocket, cheap so you don’t feel bad for taking notes in them. hardcovers??? beautiful, pristine, ground you into the world they hold by making you grip them tighter, the stars of every bookshelf. ebooks?? convenient, cheap, always with you, a vast library that you can hold in your palm. new books?? crisp, the smell of wood, ideas waiting to imprint themselves upon the world. old books?? objects transcending history, sweet smelling, enriched by the hands that stroked their pages. books.

i don’t think anyone in the tumblr roleplay community understands how isolating it is to be a lesbian in the rpc. i don’t, because i’m not one, but i listen to what lesbian roleplayers are saying and it bothers me that it seems like no one else is caring to listen.

last evening, we learned that cheryl blossom on riverdale is a lesbian who has been struggling with comp het. today, the rpc has decided to loudly support the continued portrayal of cheryl as a non-lesbian despite lesbian roleplayers, many of whom are part of the riverdale rpc themselves, expressing how this feels like a slap in the face. lesbians were already dissatisfied with their level of acceptance within the rpc (doubly so if the muse they play is a lesbian as well) and this refusal to accept canon when it means celebrating a lesbian character has caused a lot of pain as yet another example of how unimportant they are. as a bisexual woman, i can understand a moment of hesitation when it comes to changing your muse’s sexuality from bisexual to lesbian if you are bisexual yourself. however, what matters is the choice you make on how to continue. if you come back from reflecting on this update to canon to make excuses for yourself, you have turned your back on the lesbian community and told them that they are not important. cheryl’s story specifically relates to experiencing comp het and for roleplayers to refuse to allow her to be her truest self reflects the refusal of society and individuals to allow lesbians to be their true selves. that is why this hurts, and why so many lesbians in the rpc are taking this seriously.

but this issue is not isolated to riverdale. lesbian roleplayers are confronted with rules/guidelines pages that specify the mun’s dislike of f/f relationships every day. if f/f relationships are allowed, they are subject to specific rules and hurdles that must be jumped over. why do we exclude lesbians, both muns and muses, at every step of the way? why do we feel the need to qualify them as the other?

bisexual muns and those portraying bisexual muses must be better. if your muse is a bisexual woman, but you will not roleplay f/f then change your muse’s sexuality or do not roleplay as them. stop giving lesbians in the rpc false hope that you will interact only for you to characterize them as “ship wh*res” or force-shipping. this is unacceptable.

lesbophobic statements like the below should never be included in your rules/guidelines pages and you should unfollow people who do this.

i really do not care if you think this is dramatic or unfair. people i care about are hurting because of you. lesbians deserve to come to the rpc and have fun. they should not be confronted with lesbophobic rhetoric supported by others in the lgbt community. i’m done.

I’ve been roleplaying Irey for years, but I’m just getting back into the swing of things after a year of absence, so I could use some new friends and rp partners!

Please reblog to boost!
