"did you lose yourself?"

and not just implied canon either. not just an ambiguous confession that could be twisted to be platonic. not just subtext. not just a relationship confirmed by the creators after the fact. they are 100% undeniably canon.

they refer to each other as boyfriends. they talk openly with other characters about the fact that they're dating. they have an audible kiss. they say I love you in a way that is undeniably romantic. they openly flirt with each other.

and like. yeah canon is made up and whatever we want it to be yadda yadda. but like,, canon queer relationships, especially quality written queer relationships, are just,, RIDICULOUSLY hard to come by for some reason and jmart's relationship is so refreshing to me, especially because you can tell the writers actually care about it

and they're not the only ones! there's a canon lesbian couple! there are canon trans characters! there are literal statements with themes of transness and queerness and how that impacts people's experiences! there are explicitly queer background characters/relationships! jon is canonically asexual! (and jon's asexuality could be a whole other post for me—it feels so monumental as an asexual person to see somebody who is both canonically asexual and still has genuine romantic relationships)

bc i feel like roman is stereotypical “princess” feminine, frills and glitter and “omg boys!!!” and singing cute disney songs, a doe eyed optimist that is so innocent they toe the line of naivety

which could make remus the comparison of what people call “dark feminine,” enraged, bloody, not afraid to scream about sex and murder and rape, able to prey on people’s biases + ignorance to make something truly horrifying. unapologetically loud, taking up space, seeing the filth of the world and refusing to look away, reveling in challenging societal expectations then laughing as they break them.

Janny Bananny is the next gay subject. Flip him around.
