Hunter x Hunter is like this is Alluka her incredibly abusive family that doesn’t treat her like a human refers to her as a boy but Killua, the only member of her family that loves & cares about her, explicitly refers to her as his little sister. & some fans are still like What could Togashi have possibly meant by this. We will never know
Here are my ideas:
- the entire play takes place in the lounge of the House
- Zagreus is off-stage for most of it. He runs in right at the beginning, right before intermission, and at the very end, usually being chased by Theseus or yelling at his dad. Sometimes we see him as a shadow puppet in the background fighting through the Underworld
- The entire play is conversations in the lounge. Characters like Meg, Hypnos, Than, Nyx, Dusa, Orpheus, Achilles, and the Wretched Broker come in and out. They are essentially in Waiting for Godot, commiserating in the bar about their heartaches and difficulties. Zag is not there.
- Achilles and Orpheus get drunk and cry and sing bad ballads about lost loves
- the chef is chopping onions the whole time in the corner of the set
- The audience gets to be the Olympians. We give them beanbags. They have to toss them at Zag’s actor who has to scoop as many of them as possible
- Dusa is a puppet and she get hauled up into the rafters whenever she exits the stage
- At the end of the play, after the bows, Zag’s actor comes on stage and says, “Tell Father I went… THAT WAY” and then books it for the theater exit.
- When theatergoers exit, they find him dead in a puddle of blood in the lobby.
if its all the same …
Neverafter truly has delivered on the small emotionally tormented characters promise
“It’s 3AM in a warehouse…”
The first PRIDE was a riot
Stormé Delariverie, the first woman pictured is a mixed Black butch lesbian who was dressed in drag that night because she had just finished performing as a Drag King at the The Apollo and Radio City Hall. She's literally referred to as the "Rosa parks of the gay community." Not trans but certainly a gnc black lesbian.
Sylvia Rivera, who has admitted to throwing the 2nd Molotov was a Puerto Rican/venezuelan trans woman, she's pictured last holding the banner with the bob cut.
Rivera is standing beside the beautiful and always smiling Marsha P. Johnson. She was another Black trans woman who pioneered the movement. She was at so many protests and queer events that I couldn't pick a photo!!!
On August 5, 1961, four party-going sailors entered Black Nite, a popular St. Paul Avenue gay bar in Milwaukee, on a dare. They started a fight with the bouncer, only to be chased out of the bar by gender-nonconforming Black “queen” Josie Carter, who knocked one of the men unconscious with a bottle. It's the first recorded LGBT uprising.
One day in 1966, an officer placed his hand on a trans woman at Compton’s—she responded by throwing her cup of coffee in his face. A riot erupted as dozens of trans people, drag queens and gay men fought the police. They broke windows, destroyed a police car, and set a newsstand on fire. Drag queens hit police with heavy purses. In the end, however, police arrested the women.
The 'Flower Power' Protest. The Patch was an LGBTQ bar in Wilmington owned and managed by Lee Glaze. Glaze had a secret signal—he’d play “God Save the Queen” on the jukebox—to announce that police officers were entering the bar, allowing patrons time to comply with the discriminatory laws. On August 17, 1968, undercover cops left the bar and returned with several uniformed officers for backup, though it’s unclear what prompted this action. They fanned out and began to screen the crowd, looking for IDs that didn’t “match” the holder’s outward appearance.
He marched everyone to buy flowers and then they waited at the police station for the two to get out.
There are cis white people in these photos because the trans people were in jail. This is them standing in SOLIDARITY for their GNC community.
(I'm trying to make a spreadsheet with all the sources but they're all really obscure YouTube videos so just take my word for it for now)
Ryan Breslin (OBC Race) and Garett Hawe (OBC Albert) went to high school together and their irl friendship is what inspired their characters dynamic in the show. So all you Ralbert shippers be thankful because it's all because of these two.
some things i made for a tiktok.
say hi, intrepid heroes!
A soul in two different bodies
transmascs will call this bonding with the love of your life …
so so sooooo sexy when tv shows end when they're supposed to. so sexy to have a thematically coherent & significant narrative and follow it to its natural conclusion. I'm salivating
idk who needs to hear this but,,,every piece of fandom content you make should be self indulgent. you should be creating because it gives you happiness and nothing less. you aren't a machine meant to only give to other people. the enjoyment should always come before the validation.
