queer classics: a speculative reading list
well i said i would so: my rec list for queer classics scholarship! this comes from my own experience with the subfield of queer classics during my time as a graduate student and my current life as an independent researcher.
i'll put it under a cut because it's long and because (gasp!) i capitalized more formally while i was writing it. if you find this resource useful and want to support an underemployed colleague, my ko-fi is here.

More favourite tropes:
- “Unfortunately, [thing that would ordinarily be described in much stronger terms than ‘unfortunate’].”
- “Fortunately, [thing that is in no way fortunate].”
- “Unfortunately, [thing that would be fortunate in nearly any circumstance except the particular circumstance at hand].“
- “Fortunately, [very minor benefit that absolutely does not offset the considerable drawbacks of whatever just happened].“
- “Unfortunately, [the exact, word-for-word thing that somebody just expressed that they hope won’t happen].“
- “Fortunately, [complete non sequitur].”
And may I add
“Fortunately, [thing]. Unfortunately, [the exact same thing].”

the raven boys
otshineon reblogged
the raven cycle is hilarious because blue and gansey are living in a coming of age romcom and adam and ronan are living in a supernatural horror film and then when they all hang out it immediately turns into an 80s treasure hunting brotherhood flick. and then they go their separate ways and adam and ronan immediately start battling the horrors again while blue and gansey eat yogurt

[id: text of the following poem:
5. I grant you refuge from hurt and suffering.
With words of sacred scripture I shield the oranges from the sting of phosphorus and the shades of cloud from the smog.
I grant you refuge in knowing that the dust will clear, and they who fell in love and died together will one day laugh.
