Tired, Pained, Nerd, and Very Very Queer

30s Disabled ND non-binary transmasc pansexual single parent of ND child and FIV+ cat. I'm a leftist, I'm fibro-spoonie, and I am so gay. Excuse me as I hyperfixate on gay pirates for now.

Here. Have kudos on that fanfic you wrote in your head while you were in the shower and never typed it out. When I recover from the brilliance of it, I’ll come back to leave a review.

[tiredpainednerdandveryveryqueer]

Oh! I... I didn't know how badly I needed that. Damn.

Doug: I baked you a quiche lorraine dear

Ed: Slapped some jam on a tray bon appetitty

Once again Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria raising it's ugly head for both Ed and Stede - but with different reactions. Stede desperately tries to cling on to the last second and Ed tries to reject first to get ahead of any rejection.

perhaps some will disagree, but i think the world got worse when we changed the colour of the night

[strongermonster]

this is what i mean

To be clear, THIS is how nights of the future should be lit

This is bat friendly street lighting, which not only looks sick as fuck but allows bats to pass through without disturbance, as they cannot see red.

orange and especially white lights deter bats and prevent them from reaching feeding grounds at nighttime. Please if you can, write to your local council and encourage red street lights!!!!

[tiredpainednerdandveryveryqueer]

Aren't red lights also supposed to help with stabilising circadian rhythm?

It blows my mind how much credit we owe Misha Collins and the people who helped him bring the Love Confession to the screen for having some hand in the WWDITS Guillermo “im gay” coming out, the Good Omens kiss and OMFD kiss between the leads. Misha basically said to everyone including TV execs, “people want this, they want to see these relationships play out on screen, not just a couple market research individuals, there is a massive audience for these queer stories”. It’s not even funny how much he contributed to queer fandom and even more largely queer media. Props to this guy you can think what you want about him but I genuinely believe he caused waves with the confession.

[tiredpainednerdandveryveryqueer]

Absolutely not here to send any hate of any kind.

I'm just going to ask a quick question and then leave. Okay? Okay.

Why do to you think a queer-focused media outlet website was called "After Ellen"?

Okay thanks.

why none of them got into The Good Place

[exigencelost]

What I love about this is its acknowledgment that Jason had no intentions at all

[egyptiann]

this is all 100% true but it always made me really mad that Chidi’s “crime” was having a severe anxiety disorder like he needed understanding and therapy, sending him to the Bad Place for something he had literally no control over was incredibly fucked up

[thedreadvampy]

I feel like a less-surface theme of the show is that they’re all in a situation where they have been forced into bad patterns by forces outside their control - Chidi has SEVERE anxiety; Eleanor was forced by abuse and neglect to adopt a self-centered attitude from early childhood and, like many people with traumatic pasts, responds by not dealing with difficult emotions; Jason was very overtly raised in an environment where he got no education and all his models for behaviour were criminal and/or self-destructive; and Tahani has been raised in an environment where everything is performative and she is shot down for any genuine expression of unhappiness or non-material want. Just as Michael and Janet are made one way but changed by their experiences, the moral of the story is that things outside your control shape you but you can move away from them. That could easily be really insulting, in a sort of ‘just get over it’ way, but the idea isn’t that they change solely because they decide to be better - all six of them change because their circumstances change and give them the OPPORTUNITY to be better, because they’re finally given the support system they lack.

I like The Good Place because the whole show has since day 1 been predicated on the idea that black and white moral judgements made in a vacuum are bullshit, and that moral choices are informed by things outside our control, whether that be education, behaviour modelling, unfair treatment or mental health issues. That doesn’t mean we aren’t responsible for our actions but it DOES mean we have to understand morality in the context of people’s varied experiences AND asks for the possibility that if their environment is improved, their ability to function as moral agents also improves.

“sending him to the Bad Place for something he had literally no control over was incredibly fucked up” yea it was fucked up that was the entire point they made in the show. thats why they spent multiple seasons fighting to change the system of the Good Place vs. the Bad Place.

[greykolla-art]

Heyyyyyy, it's me again. If you're still taking drawing requests, could I tempt you into doing a follow up to my earlier request? Perhaps, Stede waking up and proving to Ed that he's real? Perhaps by kissing him so thoroughly that he forgets his own name?

Let’s draw some low effort HARDCORE KISSING!

OH YOU’RE GONNA BE SMOOCHED SO GOOD!

Seriously I will throw up when I see them kissing on screen again.

I’m so wound up from waiting for it I’ll absolutely die.👏

i hate that hbo max is only available in a small number of western countries but it is kinda amusing that the only way i can consume ofmd is through piracy

HEY PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A WAY TO WATCH THE GAY PIRATE COMEDY WHERE THEY LIVE:

While first season aired, I put all of the gay pirate comedy up here. It's still there for anyone to download at any time--no special software necessary. (There are also pro-shot con panels there, though I haven't updated those in a little bit.)

As the second season airs, guess what you will be able to find at the same link!

I'll put them up as fast as I can (once we know what time they'll be dropping I can get more specific).

For those who are hesitant about the safety in taking downloads from a stranger, here's my post from last year on why you can trust that this is the real deal.

So, you know, bookmark the link or whatever, and reblog for the other unfortunate souls who might benefit.

One day somebody said “What if we made fucking Blackbeard a literal Disney Princess” and it was the best thing that ever happened to television

Look at this bitch!! He looks like he’s about to break into “Part of Your World” at any second! Go stare at your reflection in some water and sing about your hopes and dreams babygirl!!

[xoxoemynn]

Shout out to the sexy lil rainbow who had her moment of glory 8 minutes into the pilot, she really told us what the show was about from the very beginning.

[xoxoemynn]

Shout out to this OTHER sexy lil rainbow casting a spotlight on our gay pirate captain during his opening monologue so his grand debut could be as dramatic as possible, she REALLY was working overtime to make sure we knew what this show was about!!!!!

Strikes are clearly NOT the reason anything with queer and trans content is being destroyed and pulled from the public eye.
