HOW DO YOU GET THE DBD BADGE š I NEED IT OMG
itās in the tumblr shop!!! you can claim it for free there :)
Iām saying this as a preemptive statement: if crowley and aziraphale kissā¦ā¦great. if not it does not count as queerbaiting bc theyāre literally canonically in love grow the fuck up I will be hiding under ur floorboards if yāall start acting up <3
what people flagrantly misunderstand about culturally iconic ālogiciansā like spock and sherlock holmes is that they are fuckinggggg annoying. like you canNOT write for nor adapt either of these characters properly without understanding that they are admirable in many ways, yes, but they are repeatedly and gleefully, ON PURPOSE, fucking massive nuisances to literally every sane individual around them, all the time. they love bothering people, they LOVE it, it makes them SO HAPPY, and THAT, not their brilliance, is what makes them the best. spocks a BITCH
like girl have you considered this is why i moved to tumblr? š
heās the worst man ever invented but of course, his breasts are sublime
One of the reasons I love ofmd is because Ed and Stede are both repressed in ways that are inherently exclusive to queer men but in completely different ways. It makes the way they learn from each other so interesting and informs what they need from each other.
Stedeās able to present himself in a way that reads as queer by modern standards his whole life because of his aristocratic status, but he doesnāt want it. (And yes modern standards matter in a historical fiction show that has lines like āew, lameā š). His whole life heās been blamed by everyone in his life for not being āmanā enough, not being able to even fake it till he makes it. The fact that his queerness is worn on his sleeve at all times with only the virtue of period typical straight obliviousness keeping him hidden makes it so he almost kind of has a ābeen there done thatā attitude about it. After all, it only ever lead to bad things.
Meanwhile Blackbeard is the exact masculine ideal Stede thinks he (himself) should be, and he doesnāt want that. Edās the perfect definition of a āreal manā but itās something he was forced to hastily toss up like a wall for defense decades ago without actually considering what makes him feel like himself. He lights up at the promise of colorful fancy clothes, he likes being soft and kind of ridiculous, he wants to be the one whoās wooed by someone he likes. But he canāt ever really have an outlet for those things because he accidentally became the literal poster child of traditional masculinity. (Itās the classic āran into the closet so hard you broke through the wall and donāt even know where tf you are nowā lol)
So what happens in episode 5?
Ed letās Stede āsave the dayā instead of him which culminates in a ship on fire (peak swash buckling), and Stede letās Ed stand under the moonlight and basically hear that heās pretty.
ive been saying this for years i love you so much hank green
i know people make these kinds of posts with fictional characters a lot but like. hank green truly is one of The Most Guys Ever. like. he's one of the earliest youtubers who is still on there. he's a 43-year-old tiktok star. he's a science educator. he got cancer and his response was to make a tier list of the press's coverage of his cancer announcement. the president of the united states sent him a message of support and he told the president that he was pissing out the cancer. years earlier he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and his response was to write a polka song about it. he created vidcon. he's the ceo of a company that produces a shitton of educational series (well, not acting ceo at the moment due to the aforementioned cancer). his guitar says "this machine pwns n00bs" on it. he invented 2D glasses. one of his earliest videos to get popular was about animal sex. between him and his brother, he was known as "the science one" (or "the music one") while his brother was "the writer one," and then he wrote two new york times bestselling novels. his most controversial opinion is that butt is legs. he's done so many things that there is a website dedicated to counting the number of days since he started a new thing. he and his brother use their internet following to (among other things) fight maternal/infant mortality in sierra leone. he has a baked bean furby. hes even bisexual
great news everyone popular demand and fixation took over and i wrote the whole thing in a few hours. will edit and post soon!! but for now its three in the am and i. need to sleep! but brace yourselves for at least 3000k of spirk in the following days.
concept: season three episode eleven of TOS where kirk and spock are sped up, but mccoys counteragent to slow them down doesnāt work.
theyāre stuck on the enterprise together for years in their perceived time all alone with the rest of the crew in near suspended animation.
spirk ensues.
they finally find a way back and theyāre like literally married and the entire crew is like. what the fuck??
ok so not only was i right about the dibs nickname for years but i literally fail to see how this is anything other than dan calls phil moon nickname confirmation. im going crazy. guys am i crazy for this. someone tell me im not crazy.
