A lot of gays need glasses, so do the straight people, but it's the gays that actually wear their glasses instead of contacts

you know what klance trope im a sucker for?

Lance introducing Kieth to his family and they welcome him with so much enthusiasm. Lance’s parents bring Kieth in for a big hug, the very protective older siblings playfully tease him about making sure he’s treating Lance right or else they’ll kill him, Lance’s nieces and nephews cling onto Kieth because he’s the “pretty boy Lance talks about all day long”. I just love seeing the dynamic between lovable big family and awkward, nervous boyfriend.

And might I add, even though we’ve all seen this trope many times before

Kieth is surprisingly good with kids. He doesn’t pass them off as less important than the adults when being introduced to. He makes sure to talk to them as well outside from the more adult-like conversations he has with Lance’s parents and older siblings (and of course this makes Lance’s family like Kieth even more). By the time Kieth has to get back home, Lance’s nieces and nephews are all whining for Kieth to stay longer and Kieth promises them they’ll hang out more, which warms Lance’s heart and possibly gives him slight baby fever.

Closeted gays are like unreleased episodes to a show, and the show is the lgbt community. Like the episode is there, it's just not out yet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

hey since haikyuu is being talked about again, let me just expose myself real quick; i actually thought daichi died when he collided with tanaka.

the fandom was making posts saying he DIED so when i started watching haikyuu and i got to that scene, i started crying because i thought the man was DEAD but N O he wasn’t. this frickin fandom making posts saying that he died made me believe i was about to watch a funeral scene in an anime about volleyball i’m embarrassed
