I like Gotham a normal amount
also I’ve been on tumblr over a decade at this point, and I’ve said a lot of shit on this blog, I don’t think much of it has been exclusionary but just so everyone knows, I support all queer identities, neopronoun users, otherkin, furries, kinksters, the complex and unpalatable and strange, the undefined and undefinable, the ever changing and always questioning, all weirdos and misfits and freaks of all shapes and sizes.
the world is full of pain, being alive and human right now is unfathomably complicated. don’t harm others and don’t harm yourselves. be honest, help those around you when you can, reflect and think and embody your truths with your heart and brain both fully activated!!!
Being an out queer person with a child and a family and friends and a job in a small conservative town has made me appreciate being queer and queer people in a way I never felt as an isolated, internet-poisoned, closeted person in a big metropolitan city.
In the real world, we are united, we are friends. We have all kinds of allies from all walks of life, we take care of each other despite our differences. We help change society for the better, we improve the world. Queer people are a light and a gift to humanity.
when we are brave, when we are unapologetically ourselves, when we love and accept and uplift each other, that is when that light is brightest.
can we like…get rid of the so-called leather and rubber “pride flags” ? it’s honestly ridiculous and offensive to the lgbtq community. those aren’t pride flags.
dead-dyke
The leather pride flag is the second oldest pride flag. It has been at almost every single US pride parade and protest in history.
It’s older then you are, it’s older then I am. The leather community is responsible for pride. Leather daddies were the ones chasing away cops when they tried to arrest us for being queer in public back when Pride Parades were illegal in the US. They are still the ones chasing away cops and corporations from smaller pride events and those that aren’t sanctioned by Wells Fargo. The leather community is essential to the queer community and has a long and rich history.
Please fuck off if you’re not going to learn the actual history of pride.
And don’t fucking out your hate in our tags, asshole.

The leather pride flag represents an expression of self which is inherently queer, and a community which has been around for generations. It is not offensive to the LGBT+ community in any way. I have seen cis gay and bisexual men standing shoulder-to-shoulder with trans men, all of them united by their leather community roots. The leather community is more diverse and nuanced than you perhaps know, but that is no reason for you to shit on a community you don’t understand.
Here is a photograph from 1998, displaying the leather pride flag, the bear gay pride flag, and the rainbow flag. This is our history.
Here is a photograph from 1987: three queer women entering into the Ms. National Leather Association Contest, or simply gathering as spectators.
A flyer from 1989, rallying the leather community to march in a Stonewall anniversary protest.
A photograph from 1988: Tony Deblase, the creator of the leather pride flag, and a gay man, embracing a fellow member of the leather community. Over his shoulder is Judy Tallwing McCarthy, a Native American woman who was part of the leather community from 1959. She co-founded the first lesbian BDSM group in Portland, along with her partner, Sashie Hyatt.
Just because you don’t know the history, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Be humble, and always assume you have more to learn. Hatred, and outright dismissal of communities you know nothing about, is the most aggressively anti-LGBT thing I can imagine.
The leather community has always included trans people, lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. The leather community is global and nuanced. The leather community is where many of us encounter our found families, and our lovers. For you to dismiss that is cold-hearted and ignorant. Just because queer sex is involved, doesn’t make the community dirty or bad.
Do you have any. Any idea. Any god damn clue. How kink intersects with LGBT and queer community. Queer history. Do you know why the community pushed for, and against, closing the bathhouses during the 80s? Do you know who organized awareness campaigns about HIV, even way back when it was still called GIRD. Do you know who created the safe sex pamphlets, the classes, who pushed for disclosing your health history to partners, who distributed contraceptives and condoms and dental dams at parties and meetings and baths? Do you even know where the safe sex education we have now comes from? Do you know where a bulk of the language about consent came from? Do you have any good god damn idea what the kink communities have done for us, and continue to do for us?
Keep their names out of your mouths because you clearly don’t know what the hell you’re talking about
#Do not attempt to sanitize queer identity in an appeal to cishetero sensibilities#A big umbrella queer community is always more powerful than one divided by infighting#reject ‘A gay’ pandering and embrace freedom of love and sex and expression that harms no one and uplifts the self and soul#you do not have to submit to the confusion or disgust of a world that denies you your fullness of being#this goes for all people#you are not evil or wrong for your love or desire or passion or specificity or vaguery#take care of one another and protect one another and examine if your anger is founded on grounds which you would be proud to stand

" oh edward does not deserve oswald's devotion" " actually oswald doesnt deserve edward's devotion" actually neither of them do. i hope they both die.
Ivy Pepper is the most relatable Gotham character because she takes one look at Oswald, a half dead, drowned rat bastard man almost two decades older than her and immediately goes “oh he’s baby, a poor little meow meow, I must feed him soup 🥰” honestly what’s wrong with her because it’s exactly what’s wrong with me and I’d love to know

reasons.
the problem with Fox’s Gotham which makes it impossible to get out of my head like a brain parasite is that it’s 70% unwatchable, boring, cop-worshiping heteronormative garbage and 30% the most unhinged balls-to-the-wall evil tragic gay high-camp art you’ve ever seen so ???/?????””?>:???; what the fuck am I suppose to do

i guess fanfiction wasn’t a phase….
anyway tag how old you were when you got into fanfiction, and your first fandom, and how long you’ve been stuck in the trenches with all the rest of us

This has probably been pointed out a million times by now, but it's still amazing to me how this scene is set up to look like a marriage proposal. He gets down on one knee. He pulls out a box. He opens the box, and then he throws its contents into the river at the bottom of which Oswald's corpse is laid to rest (to Ed's mind, anyway).
It's just like that scene in the "Corpse Bride". And immediately after that, we see Oswald come back from the dead, just like the corpse bride did.
In conclusion: they are married.
