Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*
My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

May i add the piece from artist Verbal Vomit
Glad to see we’re all in agreement that cats talk like disparaged victorian children
I am so incredibly glad we finally moved on from "i can has". Cats are clearly smart enough for advanced sentence structure and dumb enough to draw entirely incorrect conclusions about what they're talking about.
My cat, banging the cabnet door over and over and over: bang bang bang
Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.
My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang
Me: ksst!
My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!
Me: ok
My cat, after waiting about 3 minutes: bang bang bang

This post is the most reblogged post of the year! Congratulations!
you're absolutely correct it was
hi, i saw your post regarding kit and i just wanted to ask why is it real people can't queerbait in real life? not saying i agree/disagree, i really want to understand this, i just can't seem to grasp my head around the concepts and i need help
i hope this question doesn't offend you. if it does, i'm truly sorry and feel free to ignore this. thank you
Hey anon, thanks for being respectful.
What I mean when I say real people cant queerbait is that, it is quite literally impossible for a real person to queerbait.
Queerbaiting is a story device where the person is implied to be queer without ever getting the actual payoff of being queer. The point of writers/production companies doing this is as a way of keeping queer audiences happy without pissing off conservative audiences. This is also why every on screen queer relationship/friendship that doesnt end with a kiss isnt neccesarily queerbaiting, because it might just be a different kind of queer relationship. Intent is important here.
But you can not apply this principle to real people. A persons existence can not be simplified to the same level as a fictional character. With fictional characters, they dont actually have free will, everything they do is to forward the narrative. A real person does have free will. Not everything they do is for a purpose. Not everything they say or wear is to tell us something. Therefor queerbaiting can not be used as a descriptor. If someone acts queer, makes jokes about being queer, or dresses queer/gnc or anything else along those lines, they are simply just being queer. The entire definition of queer identity is fiting outside of cishet norms. That is what being queer is. So someone who does those things is just being queer. Whether they do it for fame/money or not, it is still just being queer.
The other incredibly important part of this conversation that people get confused on is the concept of privacy. Fictional characters can queerbait because they do not have privacy. Any storylines that are left out or changed to be less queer, is an active choice made by the creators to be in narrative. As an audience we are entitled to know about those things because the point of a fictional character is to get ideas across to the reader. Real people however do have privacy. Any real person, no matter how famous, does not exist simply for the service of others. A celebrity not telling their audience about their identity or romantic interests is not a device they use to keep people on the fence, it is their right to privacy. They do not owe is that information. We are not entitled to it. Just like you wouldn't demand that your neighbor tell you all their deepest secrets, you cant do that just because someone is famous. And a celebrity not sharing that information is even more understandable when you see how picked apart every sliver of personal information people get is.
Long story short; Real people cant queer bait because real people living queer lives is just actually being queer and also real people are entitled to privacy, both things which do not apply to fictional characters.

My alluring androgyny and strange demeanor have the bitches conflicted on me
it's so funny when people critique dark tropes and plotlines with "this isn't appropriate, people ACTUALLY going through this" because the human condition is like. very much the point.
Tragic news like half the ways people talk about magic in fiction could irl be applied to maths
"magic is the threads that tie the world together, the unspoken web at the heart of the universe" that's mathematics babey!
You ever think about how when you gauge if it's safe to cross the road based off how fast and far away the cars are you're actually doing difficult calculus subconsciously? Almost like maths is something you have an inherent understanding of in many ways but in order to advance in it and truly understand it you have to learn it in an academic setting? Almost like many magic systems?

Afterwards she shivered, mind caught with scenes of the battle - the basilisk’s massive jaws, the keen flashing glint of the Sword, Tom’s high laughter sailing through the chamber, his voice almost like a girl’s. Occupied with restless images, she saw Tom reaching into her breast, again and again. That pale incorporeal hand, skeletal and distinct, the freezing pressure pushing into her, passing skin, the strange heaviness in her body. The points his fingers interposed on her body.
“The Beauxbatons term has already started,” Dumbledore said, regretfully, “But somehow I do not think you will have much trouble catching up. If, of course, your mother agrees, I see no reason why you should not attend the illustrious academy of our Gallic cousins…” He gave another smile untinged by feeling. “It has been some time since I have visited, but I do believe the clematis are in bloom.”
