suicide POSTPONED i gotta read this yaoi first

[warda @my25thourr]

when the trope is self worth and identity tied to performance arts power imbalances in relationships conflict between tradition and personal desire w forbidden gay romance and the budget is there so yk it's the next potential big thing unless the homophobic company hates success

What exactly is PM2.5? 💨
—— explained by #jimmyyjp 👦🏻🥼💜

Back in 2019 when Jimmy was still a med student in Chiang Mai, he made a video explaining PM2.5 and just how harmful it can be.

I hope Jimmy doesn’t mind me sharing this to help raise awareness about PM2.5, because many people have little to no understanding of it and are unaware of the risks and hidden dangers in the air we breathe. Knowledge is the first step toward protection. 📖

today 80% of the new gmmtv series are queer but back in my day we had to watch kiss the series puppy honey and edge of 17 to get any kind of representation

[Father Valentine 🕷 @aresiren]

if you're a straight bl fan you better watch your tone when speaking abt lesbians, sapphics and gls cuz yall getting way too comfortable lately

[jay @judaithnkr]

Straight women cannot cope with the fact that most men are attracted to women and STILL HATE us. Instead of acknowledging this FACT you choose to punch down and conflate being gay to misogyny instead of holding straight men accountable WE WILL NEVER BE FREE AS WOMEN

[🫠 @tachycardial]

we really need a word for people who are pretty unabashedly queer but also aren't making public statements about it because the idea that you can only be "out" and "closeted" is messing w ppl's understanding of how queerness is expressed by younger generations now

[jack 🫀 • free 🇵🇸 🍉 @asavagegarden]

using canon as a "gotcha" in fandom is such a cope, especially when your canon ship is mid and boring.

yeah, i would like my queer pairing to be canon, but the best part of them not being canon is the amazing art that is born out of their love and our love for them.

things start devolving once there’s no longer a level of separation between fandom and actors/writers. frankly it’s none of an actor’s business what’s happening to their character’s cervix on ao3 and journalists shouldn’t be putting fic writers on the jumbotron without permission

I think there’s a misunderstanding about what I meant.

When “bromance” is marketed within BL spaces, it is being placed in a queer space. Even if the show itself isn’t officially labeled as queer or romantic. That’s where my concern comes from.

I’m not targeting any specific show or person. My point is about the genre as a whole. I don’t think it’s weird to want queer spaces to remain safe and centered around actual queer representation.

To me, “bromance” blurs the line in a way that feels intentional. It adds romantic undertones to a friendship to attract queer audiences and shippers, while still keeping things ambiguous enough to appeal to people who don’t support queer relationships. That dual marketing benefits from queer engagement without committing to queer representation.

It’s not about saying friendships between men can’t exist, of course they can. But either it’s a friendship, or it’s a romantic relationship. Labeling something as “bromance” often feels like a way to hint at romance without acknowledging it openly.

And when that happens in queer-focused spaces, it can indirectly create room for non-allies to enter those spaces under the excuse that “it’s not actually queer,” which is the issues we’re currently seeing now.

[Tiny เทนี่ 🌱 || PHUWIN LERTRATKOSUM era @pptnarawin]

I understand what you’re saying, no one is forcing anyone to watch anything. But as a queer person, “bromance” isn’t neutral to me.

Historically, it’s been used to censor queer stories and turning explicit queer love into “just close male friendship” to make it more digestible for the viewers. In a lot of places, openly queer narratives weren’t and are not allowed, so they got repackaged this way.

So when I see it pushed openly in queer spaces, it doesn’t just feel like a harmless presence. For some of us, it carries the weight of erasure….

A reminder that our stories have disappeared before, and could again.

It’s not about being dramatic. It’s about context and lived experience.

[buzz(PRIDEFUL!) @aranthediva]

controversial opinion but every time an actor gets mad/upset about their “positions” being switched, i get the ick. what r u mad about. what is so bad about being perceived as a bottom? nobody is forcing u to take it up the ass by switching ur names around. feels weird idk

[b @wwxwashere]

i wish americans advocating for censorship in fictional works lived in a country with ACTUAL censorship for a year then came back to let me know how it went

[Kiki L. ᵏʰⁿ (TicketToHeaven Era) @khunnoozhilla]

Sorry this bothering me a lot, so I need to say that a queer person being excited about queer stories is actually a lot deeper than that. It’s more than entertainment. It’s something you will only understand if you grew up in a society that romanticized straight identities, but treats queer identities as abnormal, immoral, odd. We need these stories because by othering us society left a wound deep with in. To be able to watch series that treats queer people as normal and queer relationships as romantic and ideal is so cathartic and healing for a lot of lgbt people. Even the silliest of BL romcoms can help alleviate that wound, because we are finally being treated as normal.

[˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ (rest) @krittnluv]

what’s really sad is how fast y’all call a show a flop just cos it didn’t hit 1M posts. meanwhile some of the most underrated bl are out here with great acting, good stories, and zero hype cos they don’t have a massive fandom behind them.

what’s even more pathetic is seeing fans apologize for not trending like they owe the internet labor. apologizing for living life. for watching quietly. for enjoying something without turning it into unpaid promo. bl used to be comfort, escape, fun. now it’s stress, guilt, and constant pressure to “prove” your loyalty.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
