Ever since I started recognising and accepting my own gayness I basically entered the all time mood of “but what about we make it gay instead” whenever I see popular hetero media. Seriously, all the ideas on my to-write list are piling up here.
you really gotta be a fool to say tchaikovsky wasn’t gay. the man literally fired cannons in his 1812 overture, do you really think a straight man could achieve that drama? that panache? that power? grow up
this was ghostwritten by captain raymond holt.
Didn’t Ken Russel make a movie about him and the fact he was gay or bi?
Okay but Tchaikovsky was actually gay???????????? He wrote his violin concerto for a violinist he was super smitten with. Literally confirmed gay
yeah, that stuff wasn’t a secret
yupyupyup. also his symphony no. 6 (the “pathetique”) is regarded as a gay classic (and was used in a scene in the film adaptation of EM Forster’s “Maurice” for its significance to the audience like. it’s …not only was Tschaikovsky literally confirmed gay but he has achieved Status as a Symbolic Legendary Gay and thus his music is as well)
BUT, imagine this—Yuuri Katsuki waking up every morning to the sight of his fiance’s beautiful sleeping face and planting two big kisses on that big ol’ nose and forehead. Then reaching over to cop a feel.
It is the third thing Yuuri does when he wakes up—the first two being those kisses on Viktor’s face, then he reaches down beneath the covers to squeeze that cute butt just a little before he has to face the day. He doesn’t do it because he wants sex, not always, but Viktor wears basically nothing to bed aside from his little black g-string and Yuuri? He’s weak, and Viktor is an enabler who responds by wiggling into his grip even more.
Yuuri does it too when Viktor’s making breakfast, still in his underwear, hips swaying as he measures out the leaves to make their first cups of tea. His vision may be shit, but he has 20/20 for everything related to Viktor Nikiforov and that’s all he can zero in on, especially when his head’s too muzzy to formulate a thought in the mornings. So he just walks up and grabs a handful—and Viktor smiles and pecks him on the cheek for his troubles.
In public, Yuuri is more subtle. Or he likes to think so, but really he isn’t at all. His hand always wanders, starting off at Viktor’s shoulders then slipping down to his waist, and finally not even ten minutes later, always ending up curled in the back pocket of his fiance’s jeans. My hands are cold, he says, I have poor circulation, he says, ignoring the gloves tucked into the pocket of his coat.
Viktor teases him one day, calling him out, “You must really love my ass, Yuuri, you’re always touching it~”
And Yuuri says, “I’m just making up for all those times I thought about it but never could.”
(What he doesn’t say is that he’s been thinking about that butt since he was 13-years-old, and, well, he has a lot of years of making up to do.)
Anyway, these are all true things that Yuuri “I can identify Viktor Nikiforov’s ass in a 60-person line up in 60 seconds or less” Katsuki does. It’s true, I was there and I saw it.
I feel like people tend to imagine achilles as being big and hairy and muscle-bound but I just want to remind y’all that he apparently spent quite a long time disguised as a girl and nobody could fucking tell?? including Odysseus, who had to trick him into revealing himself, but was apparently not smart enough to figure out which of the beautiful women in front of him was a man in a dress???
so like please consider: petite fine-boned achilles. achilles with killer cheekbones and big dark eyes w long eyelashes. ppl meeting achilles and being all “you’re the one who’s supposed to be a scary warrior?” and then later he he picks up trojans twice his size and flings them across the battlefield and they’re like ‘oh’. achilles being significantly shorter than hector and needing to tilt his head back to yell at him. patroclus being able to sling achilles over his shoulder. patroclus giving achilles piggyback rides. achilles needing patroclus to reach stuff down for him sometimes. achilles being the little spoon. tiny pretty achilles okay
People in Ancient Greece literally used to argue whether Achilles topped or not because some of them thought he was too girly which tells us mainly that Achilles has always been a twink and that yaoi fandom never really changes
