comic book trend that honestly irks the fuck out of me is when an existing character comes out as gay and they invent a new character to be their partner. like theres nothing wrong with it per se its just that the new boyfriend/girlfriend character is always jarringly bland and uninteresting, especially when compared to the latent homosexual potential that definitely already existed in the story. like there’s something so deeply unsatisfying about introducing a new side character as a girlfriend for karma in new mutants 2019 when she’d been having dramatic hand-holding adventures with dani the whole time. it implies such a definite hesitancy to ever make characters gay For Each Other, and the result of that hesitancy is that you don’t get any of the long-term slow-burn relationships that heterosexual characters get (like between batman and catwoman or whatever). instead you get New Relatable Millennial Queer Partner that you have to fight tooth and nail to give a fuck about. nobody’s doing it like rictor and shatterstar anymore nobody’s doing coming out reveals that hit like that
90% of the people who reblogged this have called out tim’s new fuckass boyfriend which i respect but in my mind this was about kitty pryde dating a woman who ISNT illyana rasputin, rachel grey or xuan cao manh when 2/3 of those women are already canonically queer like 😭

oh i love you fucked up mentor-mentee dynamics i love you dynamics that aren't quite friendship or family or romantic but some other thing that's like "you taught me how to be everything i know and i am grateful to you and i would die for you but also i resent you so much i love you i hate you how could you disappoint me like this i will spend my entire life wishing that i could love you but i will always hate you a little for how you made me feel--even if it made me stronger"
