Can’t stop thinking about how after the Manberg Festival and before the Manberg-Pogtopia war Tommy banned fireworks. Cc!Tommy banned them as a bit because the fireworks for Guy Fawkes Night were interrupting his stream and the holiday is for a failed assassination attempted on the Queen. I headcanon that c!Tommy banned them for c!Tubbo’s sake. Tubbo had literally just been killed by Technoblade with them. You can’t tell me a firework holiday wouldn’t have been a trigger for him. I can’t get over Tommy seeing how they bother his friend and immediately deciding to ban them from the entire server. Him insisting that he’s doing it to protect the Queen to spare Tubbo from it being about him. Tubbo knowing exactly what he’s doing and letting him and going along with it and having an unspoken but understood appreciation for it. Tommy getting so riled up by anyone who sets the fireworks off under the guise of they hate women. Him making a game of it, dubbing them “Queen’s Jays”. His vod was literally titled “We banned fireworks on Dream’s server…”. The entire stream was about it. He just dragged Tubbo around banning fireworks. They are so precious to me, your honor.
Here’s the thing. The way I can tell my period is gonna start is that my facial hair starts getting slightly coarser/thicker cause yk, testosterone increases during your period. However, both the testosterone and the facial hair got me feeling more masc during my period and every time I have to dispose of my uterus scab I just am so genderly frustrated.
Anyone else feel the need to run their nervous system through the washing machine? Like I need my brain, my spine, and all my nerve endings to go through a spin cycle. I need to hear and feel my fleshy brain thudding against the walls of the machine. I need the silky threads of my nerves to plaster themselves against those walls with the forceful speed of the spinning.
My college is currently putting on Twelfth Night the musical and we just watched the play as a cast. So here I am to present my queer head canons that no one asked for. 😝 (And they’re different for both the musical and the play so hold onto your hats. *insert me doing the wave with my arms*)
The Musical:
Orsino is bi. Obviously. When he falls in love, he falls HARD. He loves with his whOle heart and super passionately. Cezario is his bi awakening. Viola’s pronouns would be they/she if she knew it was a thing. (I’m assuming queerness either isn’t well-known or isn’t accepted in Illyrian culture because of the barriers that the characters face in the show.) They’re super emotionally intelligent and a total bad ass but don’t know it at the beginning of the show. They will expose you and absolutely decimate you in an argument. Her and Sebastian are thE best friends. Sebastian is a cis-het ally. He always knew Viola was the cooler/smarter twin and spent most of their childhood trying to convince everyone of that. He’s like a smart-dumb person (you know). He definitely likes Olivia because who wouldn’t—she’s great. She’s so fun and comfortable to be around and absolutely hilarious. She is also a lesbian. “No one’s Olivia’s type.” Uh huh. Except Cezario who just so happens to be Viola. She stays with Sebastian firstly because they’re already married, but also because she can’t be with a woman in Illyria (or anywhere as far as she knows). At first she lk pretends that Sebastian is Viola but she eventually tells him and he’s just like, “Ya that’s fair. Viola’s the best.”
The Play:
Orsino is still bi. Duh. Still loves incredibly big, Cezario is still his bi awakening. (Still assuming Illyria is lk homophobic.) Cezario is trans. His personality is very much the same tho. He still dresses masc and Orsino is very supportive of it. He wanted to keep presenting as Cezario entirely but had to out himself as Viola to clear up the misunderstanding with Sebastian so they could be together. He tragically was forced to chose between being himself and being with Sebastian. And he chose Sebastian. Sebastian is gay. He’s in love with Antonio but can’t leave Olivia, especially now that they’re married. And that would also mean leaving Cezario and he refuses to do that again. Olivia is straight but her personality is still pretty similar. Andrew is either bi or pan. He’s not only in Illyria for Olivia, but is gay for Toby. He’s also a giant sweetheart. A pure cinnamon roll.
Bonus:
Antonio is canonically gay and in love with Sebastian in both the play and the musical. :))
Note:
Orsino is actually sexist in both the play and the musical and his pursuing Olivia so relentlessly is probably harassment. Olivia pursuing Cezario in both (tho more so in the play) is also borderline harassment. Consent is key, my dears!! It’s so sad that such amazing characters do these pretty terrible things and they don’t get addressed in canon. At least not in a way that I found satisfying. Basically remember… CONSENT IS NECESSARY.
