Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs

Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!

i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:

Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.  

there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand. 

Henry's been amazing for a long time.

Owls are very wise. This one in particular nose a lot.

reblogging this one again because it makes me laugh every time i see it

Quick reminder that you don't need a solid sexuality! You can just be in love! Or not be in love! Or have a gender! Labels are a choice, not a requirement. All you need to do is be someone you like being! If labels help with that, great! But they are not required. You don't owe it to anyone, so don't feel pressured to choose labels if they aren't your thing!

Falling Star, 1884 by Witold Pruszkowski (Polish, 1846–1896)

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories

Can we talk about the fact that Crowley redirected the bombers before he even enters the church? 

That he had complete and utter trust that Aziraphale would save the both of them, even after not speaking for 79 years?

That he risked discorporation (and answering to Hell for the whole incident) on the absolute faith that once he communicated to Aziraphale about what was happening that they (the team, the group, the group of the two of us) would be in it together?

And that Aziraphale instantly picks up on the code and pulls through, immediately and without a second thought.

This:

Isn't just about the magic show. 

1941 changes EVERYthing. 

Say it with me:

cis heterosexual aros are still queer

cis heterosexual aros are still queer

cis heterosexual aros are still queer

cis heterosexual aros are still queer!

Good Omens: all about its score

I know these have a lot of text, but I tried to put everything in a “chronological, this fits together” order. If you love music, you know how much the score of a certain series/ film adds to the feeling of it.

David Arnold is a genius. There is so much going on beneath the surface. All those little strings you might not pay attention to, they are ATTENTION worthy.

This is part 1. There is a part 2 here!

I also want to point out the one thing I did not add on the slides: there is a moment at the beginning of episode 6 of season 1 where Mark Kermode played the harmonica. (Just as a little cameo for you :) ) In the words of @neil-gaiman “ Ennio Morricone-style Western harmonica music”.

All of the information here was gathered from interviews with David Arnold. (Those include videos as well and the DVD commentaries). I will leave all my sources in part 2.

Good Omens: all about its score Part 2!

Part 1 can be read here.

Almost all of these are references only to season 1; that’s because so far no official interviews for season 2 (for the score) have been published. (That I could find).

As promised here are all my sources; plus of course David Arnold’s own messages on Twitter (X?).

And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.

I wrap this blessing around you like a shroud, so that no ill can find you, and every warmth is held close

If a nonbinary person shows the slightest hint of masculnity they get shoved in the boy box, where they will be hated either for being a "trans man" or a "cis man invading queer/trans spaces" based on their (assumed) agab. And then if a nonbinary person shows the slightest hint of femininity they get shoved in the girl box, where they will be hated either for being a "trans woman" or a "cis woman invading queer/trans spaces" based on their (assumed) agab. And if a nonbinary person never ever shows any hints of femininity or masculinity, they are hated anyway and people demand they pick a box to be sorted into.

Is that a trebuchet in your pants or are you just happy to siege me

psychoanalyzing the gender/identity dichotomy between ice skating and ice hockey and coming to the more objectively correct conclusion that ice hockey is rooted in motherly feminine behavior of protecting the nest and that ice skating is about masculine peacocking of one's own physical prowess in seeking a mate
