1, 6, and 12 for the 50 questions!

Dang that was fast Steph hahaha! <3

1. What are three shows in your watchlist that you’ve been meaning to get to? Severance, Schitt's Creek, and the 15th doctor's season of Doctor Who. Knowing me this will not happen anytime soon.

6. What do you use to keep your place when you’re reading a book? A bookmark, I have So Many.

12. What’s something about your best friend that you love? Well this sent me reeling because I don't know who I'd consider my best friend. 🫠 But my sister understands me on levels no one else ever will, and I love that we have so many similar interests that we constantly can share things, memes, and thoughts with each other!

50 questions just because

re: the article, does no one remember andrew garfield going on in interviews about how he's not in any marvel spiderman movies and didn't know anything about it? then later, *spoilers* he totally was he just couldn't reveal it at the time

I mean, I’ve been pointing out for ages that we’re not going to learn Buddie is happening one second earlier than we see it play out on screen, and certainly not from an interview. And that, in that vein, they’re not going to change their party line “everyone can interpret it however they want” position. As I’ve also noted, this is the exact same way executives and showrunners handle discussing even non-canon heterosexual couples prior to a canon event because the culmination of slow burn romances tend to be major spoilers that simply do not get confirmed (and there are also many het ships that have gone canon after TPTB for a given show have explicitly said it would never happen).

I think the problem with this situation and this particular article is that it hits on the fault line between general fandom paranoia and very real queer pain—whether brought on by the mistrust of a mainstream network show to actually follow through with such a powerful, queer love story, or the hurt of the specific rhetoric used to discuss it (because the “they’re just friends” type of comment that gets used to create plausible deniability for non-canon het couples before they happen simply lands differently when applied to a queer ship). And when you have a person who wants to get attention and make a name for themself by exploiting that line, by preying on the hopes and anxieties of queer fans, it gets very messy very quickly.

It's me I'm salt anon, I'm exhausted seeing people saying *spoiler* Eddie dying was bury your gays when he literally...was never queer??? There wasnt even subtext??? There was chemistry between him and Steve and that's it I'm fucking screaming. Also people acting like Will not out loud saying he's gay when his character lives in the US in the mid 1980s like no shit!!! That's so dangerous!! Anyways I have lots of thoughts lmao pls tell me yours

NOT BURY YOUR GAYS???? someone help them 😭

and no fr????? insisting that his sexuality went completely unaddressed by the writers because he didn’t say it in the most explicit terms……..literally please touch some grass. like im truly so sorry but coming to terms with your sexuality (especially in the 80s, in the literal midst of the aids epidemic) is a process that is just Not always going to start with you shouting it from the mountaintops, and it’s not a disservice to queer characters and the queer community at large to tell these stories. you don’t have to like them, but idk what else to tell you

#if dean and cas aren’t gay then why did you only give me dean’s reaction to cas being there huh#why did sam have absolutely no part in it#why did cas only look at dean#well anyway this show is insane bye ok legit i stopped watching the show around s10 and when i saw this clip i assumed it was edited to just show dean's reaction but when i saw the full clip i asked my friend who was still watching "THIS IS UNEDITED?? THIS IS STRAIGHT OUT OF A ROMANCE NOVEL!!" and i haven't stopped screaming abt it since

supernatural is both the most homoerotic and homophobic piece of media i've ever experienced and when you watch it you literally feel like you're being put through a wrinkle-free dryer cycle
