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 😭

Anonymous asked:

What do you think of the complaints about Channing's return as Gambit? A lot of people called him fat, old and ugly 🤭

People are entitled to not like it. As far as these movies go, I think he's neither of those things. I'm glad he's been given the chance to play Gambit, and with the old cast back one more time, it'll be fun to see him with them, especially now that he has time to prepare physically. However, I desperately want a new Gambit after this. A new, younger cast moving forward. Clean slate.

About Gambit… I like him as a character and I’m glad there’s a New Orleanian in the X-men’s roster but… his accent is Cajun, not New Orleanian. People from New Orleans sound like they’re from Brooklyn. Gambit would sound more like Steve Rogers than a Cajun. That likely has to do with us being a port city. Either way, you wouldn’t expect to hear that many Cajun accents in New Orleans. For that you’d need to head west of Baton Rouge, more towards Lafayette. That’s the true Cajun country. There are actually more Cajuns closer to the Texas border than there are in the metro New Orleans area.
