I'm okay, actually.

I’m not a fan of soap operas/telenovelas/KDrama but I do like comedy/parody versions of them so Princess of South Beach has become my favorite podcast to listen to while walking my dogs.

I love how all the characters are bastards (some more than others) but the writers still manage to make you feel sorry for them.

Like the married couple Luisa and Esteban. They’re by far the worst people but they also suffer from the worst trauma. Luisa because her father was extremely abusive and Esteban because he was put through torturous gay conversion therapy as a teen. Now they’re trying to keep up appearances as a perfect, Catholic family while Luisa is chasing after young men (including her daughter’s love interests) and Esteban has a secret affair with their future son-in-law’s father, Nacho. Nacho only started the affair to get money from Esteban but has started falling in love with him which could ruin everything because Esteban will get rid of him if it becomes anything other than physical.

One of Martin's sex scenes you wrote looks like a scene from a book. So I asked you, did you come up with all the scenes, or did draw inspiration/copied it from somewhere? And you didn't have to act like an asshole.

Amanda : Thanks, Mom … Why is everyone staring at me ?

Kat : You just called Captain Benson Mom; you said thanks, mom.

Amanda : What? No, I didn’t. I said thanks, Man.

Olivia : Do you see me as a mother figure, Rollins?

Amanda : No, if anything, I see you as a bother figure, ‘cause you’re always bothering me.

Finn : Hey! You show your mom some respect!

Amanda : I didn’t call her mom!

Olivia : No, no. Amanda, I take it as a compliment.

Sonny : It’s not a big deal. I called Barba dad once and he’s my boyfriend.

Amanda : Guys, jump on that. Carsi has psycho-sexual issues.

Kat : Old news. But you calling Benson Mommy.

Amanda : Hey, mommy is not on the table.

Suspect : Well, you did call her mom, girl.

Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.

Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?

every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.

terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.

It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.

How dare they leave Sonny once again without aftercare!!!

so uhhhh....Barisi canon 💅
