I’ve been seeing some controversy about Chandlers sexuality…

“If friends was made today Chandler would be bisexual”

That’s our controversy! We have our fans who say that Chandler is straight and is not and would never be bi or gay, and if we want representation to go find another show. The other side is people who say chandler is bisexual or gay, no questions and pick fights with the other side.

In my opinion both sides are wrong.

Chandler is straight

But if he were bisexual, it would be for Joey

But not in the way he loves women, no. He would love Joey as more than a friend, but not as a lover. They’d get married for tax reasons but then play up the old married couple idea, just like they did when they got the duck and chicken. 

Chandler is straight

Chandler being bi is a fun head cannon and it’s all good if you believe it, but remember it was the 90s and being gay was used as a joke, and bisexuality was very very nuanced in the media and even not real to many people.

Chandler is a very fun, sassy, kind, handsome, at times flamboyant (briefly), kind, ladies man. He has the leanings of a bisexual cis man, but is undeniably straight and is just the “token gay” of the friend group without being gay.

Let the queers make up their head cannons

And let the straights keep their old show

Neither side is wrong or right

Both just need to calm the hell down and realize Chandler is an amazing character who deserves attention and fan works, not controversy over his sexuality.

Do what makes you happy, just don’t do it if it hurts anyone (that includes the actors in friends, the directors of friends, the fans of friends).

Be good people and let poor chandler be a straight man very comfortable in his own sexuality, comfortable enough to answer questions like “which guy would you kiss” confidently and without reserve. 

Chandler is not gay, bisexual, or anything other than straight in the friends that took place in the 90s, but if there were a reboot, Chandler would probably be bisexual.

Chandler is just perfect being a not so macho man, funny, straight guy.

It’s good to see him have a successful love life with it all

Sad we didn’t get a whole lot of pansexual Phoebe though, she was pretty obvious. Not in a “I thinks she’s gay, so she’s gay” more in a “she had the vibes, and I would not be surprised if you told me she dated a girl” (And there was the hole thing with Ross and Monica’s cousin but yknow)

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

(Chandler and Joey are Bert and Ernie btw. I take no arguments yet accept all questions on the matter)

Inside Man mini review

So I just finished watching inside man (the one by Steven Moffat) and I have been reading all the reviews of it on here and on other sites.

and I honestly loved it (mostly because of the actors but still), the suspense was pretty great, acting was terrific, plot was decent, relatively likeable (and if not, at least semi relatable) characters.

the one thing though is that I found, which lots of people seem to disagree with, is the way that Mary Watling and Harry Watling were portrayed throughout the whole ordeal and how they were shown to deal with their emotions. I found it incredible

the way that Mary reacted; trying to find a sense of normalcy in a situation that was the opposite of normal, keeping what seemed like a calm exterior to try and keep them all from imploding with everything going on. The occasional emotional explosions when she couldn’t take it anymore.

I found it to be a very true show of what extenuating circumstances can do to someone (ie. having your sons math tutor locked in your cellar because she thinks your son is a p3d0) and the lengths people will take to have some kind of control over their lives (doing normal things to alleviate guilt and terror)

The same goes with Harry Watling (aka the vicar), though his is shown more as a delayed reaction.

it’s almost as if he doesn’t truly realize what he’s done and what’s happening, or atleast he’s ignoring it pretty damn well. He doesn’t try to keep it normal (he knows it’s nowhere near normal) or keep peace so to speak; more than anything he just shuts down.

he barely speaks with anyone and when he does he shuts them out just as quickly. Using his title as vicar as moral high ground, saying “I couldn’t have done this, I’m too good for that”, using it as a shield against the reality of the situation. And comforting others (mostly), to again show the moral high ground that he has claimed.

It shows a different approach people can sometimes take when dealing with such things (though similar to the other ways); which can lead to people entirely shutting down and avoiding the world to try and alleviate guilt (and any other emotions they may be feeling), leading to lashing out at anyone who tries to help (no matter how misguided).

No one in this show is truly a good person, but they are still people and people will react in a million different ways to different scenarios.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

Today in niche genres of joke that I can never get enough of and will probably still be secretly thinking about four years later

Hozier and Will Wood are the same person in different fonts, not only within their song titles, but as well in the messages hidden behind those titles.

In this essay I will…

Michael babygirl, I apologize now for the close-up screenshots of your mouth I am going to put on the internet. Call Neil if you have issues with it, it's his fault.

Honey, why are you chewing on a ball bearing? I was going to be lenient and say it's a glint off of some saliva but nah she's suckin on a damn pie weight. I didn't see her take a bite of any dippin dots, did you? Who let her near my stash of Buckyballs that I was hiding from the Consumer Product Safety Commission? Just because you are bbgurl doesn't mean you get to eat bbpellets.
