this is honestly so fucking sick, just because someone is a celebrity or a "big name" does NOT mean that the masses get to walk all over and dissect their lives, issues, personality or identity. wtf is wrong with these people
This is what I was talking about.
This is exactly why the whole "Queer characters can only be played by queer actors" argument, or the queerbaiting celebrities argument is not only unhelpful, it is actively harmful. You are not entitled to other peoples identity. You are forcing people to come out in order to protect their careers, when they may not have wanted to share that with the world. Real people can not queerbait. Real people can not be bad representations of themselves. Do not conflate how you treat fictional characters with how you are allowed to treat real people. We can not keep having the same conversation. Forcing people to come out or else face social consequences is Bad. Always. Everytime.
In this case, Kit is literally a teenager who has been facing overwhelming amounts of online abuse for not being open about his personal identity.
Im seeing it with other queer media too. With nicholas galitzin and taylor zakhar perez in the red white & royal blue movie, people demanding that they should have been recast with "actual queer actors" despite the fact that we do not know if they are or are not queer. We can never know until they tell us that they are, which they have not.
Im also seeing it with young royals. With the new season coming out later today, the speculation on omar and edvins sexuality and relationship is incredibly harmful and toxic. They are real people, please treat them like people instead of fictional characters you can write rambling, speculating paragraphs about.
I'll say it one more time.
why don't you just bury me now? you can't just say these things and expect me to still function as a human being after processing this :(:(:(
Do you ever think Team sees Win interact with Waan and Wiew and wonders if he and Ton would have still been as close had he not died? Like he sees Waan tease or help Win in someway and is brought back to his childhood and just daydreams a bit about what could have been?

We need like a month where nothing happens and there's no repercussions we all just stay in bed and hibernate and nothing goes wrong
ao3 being down means all of us are forced into our own found family trope through the depths of the #ao3 tag on tumblr. coincidence?
I think not!
"that ship isn't canon! that character isn't gay!" well thats not what the voices told me
I think the one Tumblr change that I would really enjoy would be the ability to change between profiles and have them be totally separate from each other. being able to like and repost things on one blog, switch, and not see any of that content on another would be super helpful imo
