there is no reason for me to change my personality depending on my hyperfixation cause all my kins are the same - fucked up nerds with ideas that are dangerous for everyone around them

wizardhood is a spectrum, and there is Ged on one side and Raistlin on the other

Bachelor is Gay (like for real)

He is. Here’s the proof. I will credit people who helped me with sources. 

In the 2005 release of the game, maybe only found in the original Russian, there is dialogue that Daniil can have with the dancer in the Broken Heart. If you’ve heard of this dialogue before it’s because you’ve heard it as the “I’m a misogynist” line. What I remember of it is that the dancer asks him if he likes her (in Classic they’re definitely sex workers so it’s in a suggestive “want to have a good time” way), and he can reply with 

“вообще-то, я женоненавистник” — “Actually, I’m a woman-hater.” 

(@panszy​ and @qawerian​ corroborated my memory on this, thanks!) 

But the term “женоненавистник/zhenonenavistnik” has a noteworthy historical meaning in Russia of the 1910s, which is the closest thing to the canon setting.

This passage from the book Homosexual Desire in Revolutionary Russia: The Regulation of Sexual and Gender Dissent

(Thanks to @stavos​ for finding this and @excalibutt​ for finding an essay that first included the term)

“Linked to the idealized manly images projected with the help of such clothing [masculine uniforms] was another subcultural label in circulation in both capitals [St. Petersburg and Moscow], that of the “woman-hater” (zhenonenavistnik).” 

Daniil is referring to himself with a period and setting appropriate term that means a gay man who likes masculine men. 

He is either saying that he’s gay or joking that he’s gay… but since so many people have already concluded that he acts really gay and does seem interested in men and disinterested in women, I rest my case. I would say this puts him in the realm of canon queerness that Yulia and Andrey and Aspity dwell in—in that canon does make commentary about it. 

Bonus: one of my other sources said that red neckties were a secret gay signal in St. Petersburg, which is likely the Capital Daniil comes from (it was the capital until 1918)

i fell into Torchwood a bit, so here's an attempt for Ianto's portrait

not bad for the first time
