Honestly, I think it’s find of fascinating how gay people have always identified with the villains more than the heroes. Like, even though the Hays Code definitely exacerbated that desire, it’s there even to the very roots of horror. Frankenstein’s monster, a creature made in defiance of god, disavowed by his parent and never allowed a person to love or a quiet, domestic life to live. Dracula telling his female followers to leave Jonathan Harker because “this man belongs to me!” and let us not forget The Picture of Dorian Grey, one of the most overtly gay works of fiction I’ve ever read despite the fact that one of the main characters is married and the titular Dorian gets engaged to a woman. 

So like, while liking the villains is definitely a hallmark of us gays, it’s not something new. The villains have always been coded, first because it was one of the few ways gay people could safely explore their sexuality and feelings about identity and later due to the influence of homophobic codes and ideas that relegated any sort of representation to coding in overtly villainous characters and idk, it’s just interesting

Camp Counselor AUs

Just got back from being a counselor in training at my favorite camp ever and I’m feeling inspired.

- One of my campers just shoved 12 cherry tomatoes into her mouth and spat them up into the air and I know you saw it too and now we’re both making eye contact and if you keep making that dumb face I’m going to die laughing please have mercy

- We’re doing some conflict resolution exercises and we’re supposed to pretend to be a pair of campers who got in a fight while the third member of our group is the counselor but you’re really into this and it’s honestly super cute oh my god, how did I never notice this before?

- A kid from my cabin and a kid from your cabin are obviously crushing on one another and we’ve decided to help them get together but along the way, we start to bond and I’m accidentally sabotaging out kids so we can keep hanging out all the time but you found out and now you’re pissed and how do I explain myself!?

- We’re co-counseling the youngest group of kids together and they’ve decided that we absolutely have to get married so now we’re holding a makeshift wedding ceremony and they’re insisting we kiss and you look so pretty up close and I’m about to die of embarrassment, please help.

- One of our nighttime activities is stargazing and apparently you’re a mythology nerd so you start telling our campers all the stories and I can help but notice how cute you are while you’re all animated and excited because normally you’re kind of shy and this is something I’ve never gotten to see before

- We’re in the middle of a vicious prank war and you decided to individually wrap everything on my bed in plastic wrap which I’d normally find pretty funny but it’s really late and I don’t have the time to deal with this so scoot over asshole, it’s bed-sharing time

- It’s movie night for our campers and we’re sitting in the back sharing popcorn but one of the characters just made a joke that definitely wasn’t child-appropriate and I’m dying laughing but all our kids are confused and now I’m choking on a popcorn kernel, help!!

- We’re crafting and you want to make a flower crown but you’re also really bad at this so you’ve recruited me to help you and I keep getting distracted by how adorable you are when you’re concentrating really hard on something and when we’re finally done it’s an awful flower crown but you look so happy with it and I just cant.
