“In death, Jane became the ultimate consort; unblemished (especially in the eyes of her capricious and tyrannical husband), ever young, and the mother of a surviving son. Instead of merely being the wife who ‘died’ and in recognition of her saint-like life — which went beyond the medieval ideal of saintly queenship — Jane should actually be remembered as the wife who was (effectively) canonised.”

sure part of the queer experience is being othered but an even bigger and more powerful part is belonging to the othereds

someone finally put it into words. yeah. being socially alienated is upsetting but it is an entirely unique feeling to look that alienation and say “actually, no. i’m the one rejecting you. i have my own space full of the other people you alienated and it’s even better than what you have going on.”

the sense of belonging you can gain from a group of socially alienated people coming together feels so much like a rebirth that it may as well be one.

this is both why purity nonsense from evangelical 'born-again' christianity transfers so smoothly into queer spaces and rhetorics, and why it's super fucked up to go around those spaces focusing on who you want to exclude

what you don’t get is science exists because people can love. medicine exists because people love each other enough to want each other to live long healthy lives. astronomy exists because someone loved the stars and the planets enough to track them through their ever changing position in the darkest night. science exists because humans are curious little creatures and we want to know the world around us and understand it like it does us. we know stars and planets worlds away, we’ve sent cameras worlds away, all because we love the universe, and we also put love in those satellites!! we sent the sound of a 100 languages, lovely messages, the sound of rain and a laugh, all out there just in case there’s someone in the universe looking for us like we do them, and so that they know that they were never alone, and we sent them the most simple loving things we could find.

Look Adrien's reaction to realizing he is in love with marinette makes sense. I too would be giddy falling in love with such a sweet girl with a loving family.

Marinette's reaction to realizing she is in love with Chat noir makes equal amounts of sense. I too would break down crying if I realized I was in love with a furry that wears leather and makes puns

Okay but can we talk about how Marinette actually confessed to Chat Noir??? Like, she’s been trying to tell Adrien her feelings for so long, but when it comes to Chat she just rips the bandaid right off. And it makes so much sense! Ladybug believed she didn’t have to fear rejection from Chat Noir, which was the main reason she didn’t confess to Adrien. I just… she trusts Chat with so much and I love them

Gabriel: with what?

Adrien: With love. How did you know you were in love with Nathalie?

Gabriel:…

Gabriel: I’m in love with Nathalie?
