the fact that today i’ve had to read tweet coming from “larries” saying that rbb & sbb were just stuffed toys that couldn’t “speak”. and you know what? i’m tired of fucking new fans disrespecting the bears like that. because there’s more than just “a conspiracy” to them, those +
bears were important on so many levels and some of are not even linked to larry. it was the way the boys could show support to the rainbow direction project and lgbtq fans, after management prohibited them from picking up rainbow flags, giving speeches, tweeting about it +
