multifandom / art gay :)

Every time I see this, I am reminded that it is the single greatest joke in the history of the written or spoken word.

FOUND IT

honestly almost cried when I realised it was set in new malden, I love that place

Is it feminist or was there just like… a woman in it 

did she actually have internal motivation and agency or was she just like….strong

The last one tho

man like. being lgbt kind of ruins time with relatives in a very specific way that cishets will never truly experience. like family time can be rough tm but theres a special brand of discomfort that lgbt people face and it’s kinda wild

It’s the specific feeling of “these people’s love is entirely conditional, and I know exactly what the conditions are, and one day I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and come out and none of these people will love me anymore”. It’s not a feeling cishet ppl experience for obvious reasons.

Even with family that Accepts You tm, theres always this level of “I can only talk about being gay so much before it gets Uncomfortable. I cant actually talk about dating bc someone will look like they ate a raw lemon whole eventually until I’m told I’m oversharing and then conversation will turn to Perfect Cousin with her Perfect Husband and When Are We Going To See Babies? Are they trying? How often? And just….its annoying that it still has to be Rough tm when u do come out and for the most part ur still loved an accepted, but u cant actually talk about it too much, even in the sense of Finding Someone or Boo Evil Politics bc ppl will STILL get visibly uncomfortable

There’s also the classic avoidance of you being gay when you’re bisexual. Your bisexuality is seen as another form of cishet normality, that there’s “still hope” that you’ll get married in a “traditional” way, get married to the opposite sex and have kids. Everyone knows you feel attraction to the same sex but it’s always swept under the rug when the rerunning question of when will you get a husband and get pregnant (for ciswomen)? As if that’s the end all be all. You only feel accepted when you conform.
