I saw a tiktok comment under a stranger things/byler post and someone brought up true queerbaiting (aka, Johnlock, Merthur, Destiel) and someone replied 'destiel queerbaited so hard they created the omegverse" and I just had to share that

(is it nitpicking if I say omegaverse came from j/2 and not any of the in universe ships? - sorry had a brief stint in that fandom and the discourse is very detailed)

I agree, I dont think st really compares to how queerbaiting used to be but I wasn't around for how they marketed j*hnl*ck and m*rth*r (trying not to step on any toes and show up in the tags lmfao) so I actually can't speak to how queerbaity they were

I finally caved and changed my profile pic to Dodger

I saw that! I woke up and got so confused by my notifications, I finally understand how everyone feels every time I change something lmao. He looks adorable in that picture

I remember when I was watching the episode where Dodger made the report (or the episode after that. I don't remember) with my mum, and she pointed out how poorly Sighn handled it. Especially when he put his hand on Dodgers shoulder, without asking first, and not noticing how extremely uncomfortable Dodger looked, both with the look on his face and his body language.

Yeah, my sister and I were sitting through that entire scene waiting for him to take his hand off of him, like, Dodger was visibly uncomfortable. Not to mention the awful wording of “we stand behind you” like mate 💀

I just rewatched the scene where Dodger finds out he's Nocos dad and he's like fully horrified and disgusted, with both the situation and also himself, and Sienna is basically like "what's the big deal". I always forget how unhinged she used to be. Compared to 2010s Sienna, 2020s Sienna has made drastic improvements to herself

Yeah, Sienna was deeply unhinged back then lmao. She really has come a long way since then. I miss unhinged Sienna sometimes <3

After learning that Danny Mac can sing as well as dance (he should do both more often), I've come to the conclusion that Dodger was a theatre kid. My proof is that I am, and so is my dad, so I know what I'm talking about

I absolutely agree with that, and that Danny needs to do more singing and dancing because he really is amazing at both. Theatre kid!Dodger makes me so happy 😭 And I feel like it makes sense because we know OG Liberty wanted to sing and was great at it, so I can imagine Dodger tagging along with her and actually enjoying it!

This is edited so badly but this is us right now

LMAO literally though 😭

It bothers me that Hollyoaks killed off most bisexuals on the show. All we have left is Sienna. I love Sienna, but I need more bisexuals. Preferably, women to even things out with how many queer men there are. I doubt we're getting bi Dodger anytime soon, but I'm holding out hope for the future.

Genuinely, killing off 3 in one day was insane work, I have to say. Two of them might’ve been evil but come on.

I think Cleo is also bi, just based on the fact that we know she likes men and women, but yeah. We’re severely lacking in bisexuals — we’re specifically lacking in lesbians and bisexual men, I think, but I’ll take more bi women as well (Gemma 👀)

Like, our total of queer characters is: 2 bisexual women (Sienna & Cleo), 3 gay men (Lucas, Ste & John Paul), 1 pansexual man (Dillon), 1 trans boy (Ro), and Rex (I don’t know his label). For the “queer soap” it sure is lacking in queers right now

I really hope that the scene in the alley where Sienna hugged Dodger meant that he's told her. I know that the voice-over wasn't actually him telling her, it was him telling someone else, but the fact that the hugging scene in tge trailer happened during that voice over does make me feel like he's told her

I do hope so and that they didn’t edit it that way just to trick us 👀
