warning: will mix pop culture metaphors when upset || talk to me about byler, taivan, tanthamore, wolfstar and pjazel || bottoms (ruby & ayo’s version)
people on tiktok cared more about a generic looking white man named jeff than the black butch lesbian lead who’s arc formed pretty much the entire emotional core of the film and who was some of the most enjoyable and relatable examples of poc lesbian rep i’ve ever seen in film.
@lemonxoi
max: nononono will you don’t get it. you’re HOT.
will: uh… thanks?
max: you could get like. ANY guy.
will: i mean not really, it’s kinda hard to find another ga-
max: SO WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU PICK HIM
cornplating but sometimes i think about how van palmer just walked around the cabin in a shirt and her boxers… she’s so relatable i do this regularly tbh
@haworthes
the lack of respect is INSANEEEE. imagine losing your son and your husband and you go online to find every single comment on the situation is just “zendaya the only thing imma watch for now fr 🤣🤣🤣” that’s SO horrible i hope his family are looking after themselves right now
ruby cruz not being credited anywhere on the official bottoms poster and even being left out of the fine print despite hazel having tritagonist status and being the character with the biggest amount of in-universe canon lore will never make any sense to me
i want this silly little autistic butch girltwink in a way that would terrify god and cause the earth to explode actually like it’s genuinely SO bad for me
what if i said laura lee had a thing for van. van being her gay awakening, lottie being her first love, van and lottie having their weird little acolyte codependency as a result of laura lee’s influence on lottie what if-
@originalgoth
@VanistheOGlhb
okay but them all having fun at the seance later that episode and javi coming up and asking “are we all going to die out here” was so “do you guys ever think about dying” coded
@mileven4endgame
pov i’m a mileven in these comments seeing a byler page: OMG EW GAY PEOPLE SCARYYYY I WANT THESE CHILDREN TO HAVE A SEX SCENE TO PROVE MY HETEROSEXUAL SHIP BECAUSE THE IDEA OF TWO BOYS LOVING EACHOTHER TERRIFIES ME FOR SOME REASON AAAAHHHHHHH
Just saw someone say that the non canon ships in yj have more chemistry than taivan... i mean i love the non canon ships but cmon you can't be serious....
@gabrimoonn
A&W because everyone loves the “jimmy jimmy cocoa puff” beat drop but we’re sleeping on the “if I told you that I was r*ped do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it/ I didn't ask for it/ I won't testify/ I already fucked up my story”
@elumaxism
lucas = homophobic and max = outs mike is the WORST trope when realistically they’re both bisexual and would support tf out of mike struggling to come to terms with his sexuality
"van palmer is so nonbinary genderfucker" i say into the mic. the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame when a voice speaks & commands silence from the room. "thayr roiht!" they say. i look for the owner of the voice & there in the 3rd row stands australian actor, liv hewson.
mlm ships: b-but we’re both boys
wlw ships: i wanna go back to new york, tai. i wanna go to new york with you and i wanna buy you a fucking pretzel and i wanna take you on a fucking horse and carriage ride through central park. i know i don’t have to come with you. i need to.
@petulant_kit
i think PJ, like many people who aren’t that popular, likes knowing that she’s at least not *as* bad as someone else. yes, she’s a loser, but she deems herself significantly better than hazel and a little better than josie hence her “you’re MY sidekick” line 1)
@vanderrwaals
the thing about pj is that the hate feels kinda misogynistic? think about it, she’s literally just greg heffley or jonah hill in superbad as a woman. neither of those characters are despised for being shitty people they’re just funny characters but people wanna cancel the woman🤔
@hoeybug
i was so confused because i thought y’all were talking about either Jenna Ortega or Jenna Coleman and i was like did “Wednesday” & “Sandman” not literally JUST come out 😭😭😭
imagine if the first adult taivan sex scene is done the way that shauna killing adam/nat laying on lottie’s lap was? the IMPACT of cutting between teen/adult, showing how they’re always connected & always need eachother, how right & necessary this still is after all this time…
I love when there's physical chemistry but it would be a bad idea to act on it so whenever you're around each other you both diplomatically pretend there isn't this ancient animal awareness between your bodies
remember when milevens were saying they hope will dies of aids so he wouldn’t “homewreck” their ship when season 4 first came out? that was a fucking CRAZY reaction to a teenage boy having a crush on his friend.
the homophobia in the m!leven fandom is actually insane... y'all come here and say the most scary and horrifying shit about a queer character and act like it's fine???? stop acting like mf victims when bylers and will stans call y'all out
@vantaissas
it’s funny that they’re so underrated considering an interracial queer relationship between a black girl and a butch lesbian (who, might i add, also defies hollywood’s terribly stereotypical depiction of butch lesbians) is something i don’t think i have EVER seen on screen before
@vansfacee
also, taissa begging her to take it off and let her see all of her, even the “bad” parts and then looking directly at what van considers ugly about herself and calling her beautiful is so important when understanding taissa’s love for van
@ElizaNonArtz
so the only type of lesbian relationship you want to see portrayed on screen is between two conventionally attractive, skinny, femme bisexual women with overly westernised features? interesting… sounding like an all sorts of fucked up take to me but whatever.
@jackiexshipman
van and tai are literally the ONLY biblically accurate ones… why did she work so hard on hallucinating taivan? why is she so obsessed with them, the only out gays? why is she subconsciously focussed on queerness? why does she want to kiss the blonde girls? in this essay i will-
UPDATE TO THREAD: found the source of one of my absolute favourite pieces, hazel’s patterned v-neck from the car wash scene is the “printed knitted vest” from Y.A.S
and if i said it’s better because porn is gross and fetishises lesbianism for straight men whereas ruby cruz and emma seligman are for the girls and the gays only then what?
people saying hazel is vegan or vegetarian when one of the first things we learn about her is that she volunteered at a meat farm is the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard like
My headcanon is that Hazel is a vegetarian who makes silly notes about vegetarian products and stuff, and then emails them to her vegetarian/vegan friends (which she made online by the way)
anytime i feel suicidal i imagine ayo edebiri showing up and being like “WOAH uhhh you’re uhhh standing… a lil bit close to the edge ahahaha HOPE I DONT HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE!!! haaa just kidding no i’m not kidding please uhm please don’t kill yourself” while doing finger guns
this jacket being stained with van’s blood… between this and the confession scene, tai is ALWAYS wearing van’s blood, it’s something she carries with her. it’s a choice and it’s not, it’s love and it’s trauma, it’s something she can’t ever avoid because they’re bound together.
i love that this headcanon is just like a rite of passage now for any butch lesbian. like we as a society really just look at every loser masc and go “woaaahhh the spiderman potential is so strong” and as a spiderman obsessed loser masc i adore that actually
@jadetanthalos
literally the only one of these where both teams have an equal chance is when people start saying bottoms girls vs. the yellowjackets tbh
ruby cruz/liv hewson lesbians when their faves have zero internet presence and a super small discography but they’re the only thing keeping them sane 😀
@vansfacee
liv is one of the most insanely talented actors in the cast like they literally acted their way to main characters/season regular status but nobody talks about them tbh
@rinasimme
i have no idea what show/film this was intended to be in reference to but i agree we need more representation for that because honestly that’s the majority of queer women i know
@headovrhls
they all yell “MIKE?!?!?” but el yells “FINALLY” and they’re all like huh? and she’s like dude i’ve had to spend the past three months watching them sneak around and pretending like i don’t see them kissing and holding hands every two seconds. this is a big relief for me.
it’s givingg “i’m josie, by the way. gooood eveningggg” and “wotz uhp ladz!!!” but also like you can’t convince me this wouldn’t work on isabel and pj respectively PLEASE
being a lesbian is so fucking stupid because why am i screaming crying throwing up over this blurry ass footage? “MY FAVES ARE TOGETHER” girllll get a grip 😭😭😭
@fruityracc
van by tai’s side and misty by nat’s is interesting when you consider who it is that always has the other’s back. both van and misty have served as their knight, their protector even - perhaps especially - when their form of help has been unwanted to some extent… interesting.
@petulant_kit
we know from her fashion sense that she’s actually a very insecure person and so i think it’s a shitty way of making her feel big about herself. ultimately she is greg heffley, josie is her rowley and she’s stuck hazel in the fregley box to poke fun at her strangeness 2)
Exes to lovers is actually the most painful trope because you have to go through all the angst TWICE: the first time around, when you find out why the broke up, and the second time after they reunite and mess it all up again
EXACTLY like. mike is flawed but it doesn’t make him unlovable. and neither do any of the other character’s flaws. if they were all perfect it would be boring because nobody is like that in real life
mike was in the wrong for fighting with lucas in s1. he was in the wrong for how he treated max in s2. he was in the wrong for how he treated dustin, will, max, and el in s3. he was in the wrong for how he treated lucas, will, and el in s4. stop trying to flip the narrative.
