Our 1stΒ place contest winner requested a Niankhkhnum and KhnumhotepΒ comic as their prize.
I took a class about Ancient Egypt last semester and we had a whole lecture dedicated to talking about how gay Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep were. Their tomb walls were decorated with scenes of them ignoring their wives in favor of embracing each other. In one scene, the couple is seated at a banquet table that is usually reserved for a husband and wife. Thereβs an entire motif of Khnumhotep holding lotus flowers which in ancient Egyptian tradition symbolizes femininity. Khnumhotep offers the lotus flower to Niankhkhnum, something that only wives were ever depicted as doing for their husbands. In fact, Khnumhotep is repeatedly depicted as uniquely feminine, being shown smaller and shorter than his partner Niankhkhnum and being placed in the role of a woman. Size is a big deal in Egyptian art, husbands are almost always shown as being larger and taller than their wives. So for two men of equal status to be shown in once again, a marital fashion, is pretty telling. Not to mention they were literally buried together which is the strongest bond two people could share in ancient Egypt, as it would mean sharing the journey to the afterlife together. And yet 90% of the academic text about these two talks about these clues in vague terms and analyze the great βbrotherhoodβ they shared, and the enigma of Khnumhotep being depicted as feminine. Apparently itβs too hard for archaeologists to accept homosexuality in the ancient world, as well as the possibility of trans individuals.
On the last note, I was walking around the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and there is a mummy on exhibit. It caught my attention because the panel that was describing it was talking about how it was a womanβs body in a male coffin and wow, the Egyptian working that day really screwed that up. My summary, not actual words, sorry I canβt remember verbatim but it basically said that someone screwed up.
They claimed that the Egyptians screwed up a burial.
The Egyptians. Screwed up. A burial.
Now Iβm not an expert in Ancient Egypt but from what I know, and what the exhibit was telling me, burials and the afterlife and all that jazz DEFINED the Egyptian religion and culture. They donβt justΒ βscrew upβ. So instead of thinking outside the box for two seconds and wonder why else a genetically female body was in a male coffin, theΒ βresearchersβ blatantly disregard the rest of their research and decided to call it a screw up. Instead of, you know, admitting that maybe this mummy presented as male during his life and was therefore honorably buried as he was identified. But it would be too much of a stretch to admit that a transgender person could have existed back then.
(Sorry I canβt find any sources online and itβs been like 2 years but it stuck in my mind)
Thereβs a lot of bigoted historian dragging on my dash these days and it makes me happy.
Once again, more proof that we queers have ALWAYS been here, and itβs a CHOSEN narrative to erase them.

OH MY GOD THEY WERE TOMB MATES
every time i listen to βyouβre a mean one mr. grinchβ i canβt help but sit there and think βwhat did the grinch do to hurt you?β because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!
you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce iβd probably be bitter enough to steal christmas tooΒ
Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.
My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and βYouβre a Mean One, Mr. Grinchβ is the resulting breakup song.
Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?

ok so i went ahead and made this into a fanficΒ actually
I canβt believe weβve finally made it to December, thirty years after 2020 started
elizabeth swan and will turner are actually SO romance in the first movie and not enough people acknowledged this because the early 2000s were the age of the edgelords who only valued jack sparrowβs moral ambiguity and that is the TRUTH
the part where sheβs like βhow many times do i have to tell you to call me elizabethβ and he shyly says βonce more, miss swannβ and once she walks away he gazes adoringly after her and whispers βelizabethβ to himself like heβs unworthy of it
then when heβs patching up the cut on her hand and she flinches and he says βi know, blacksmithβs handsβ¦ theyβre roughβ because he thinks thatβs whatβs bothering her HE KNOWS HEβS NOT WORTHY OF HER!!! THATβS THE PINING IβM TALKING ABOUT BINCH!!! I DONβT ACCEPT LESS!!!!
he has like 10 chances to confess his love to her but waits until heβs dressed like this to do it:Β
my man knows 1) the importance of a good outfit when shooting your shot 2) how to ACCESSORIZE. take NOTES.
Thatβs how I would dress if I was gonna confess my undying love to Kiera knightley
