Yes we need more chaste twee baby gay romances like heartstopper and yes we also need more shows where men fuck raw to express their love for one another like Élite and yes we need more toxic gays having hate sex like Interview with the Vampire and yes we need more incidental gay characters like the dads in cartoons like Owl House.

It's not a competition! It's a hoard and I'm like a gay little Smaug.

the normalization of porn in mainstream media is a weird take to have

Normalization of gay desire and yes, even gay sex, is paramount to gay liberation actually.

Gay people aren't a porn category anymore than straight people are. What a concept. /s

I think about my one friend in high school, who was not technically allowed to read anything that her parents didn’t approve of. There was a special exception for things required by school, but they’d go over those at home and “correct” any bad information.

She checked out 2 books a day from the school library and read voraciously on her own and returning the books to the library at the end of the day. She’d get done work early or just skip any work time in class to read her books.

Her parents were ‘old-fashioned’ too. They didn’t think their child should be reading anything they didn’t personally approve of first.

There was a reason she never told her parents she checked out books from the school library. There was a reason none of the teachers scolded her for reading or told her parents about it during parent-teacher conferences.

They were actively preventing further abuse of a vulnerable teenager under their care.

I seem to be thinking a lot of her lately with everything, everything that is happening.

Netflix: how do we make this show even better than the original?

Castlevania team: make the animation even sluttier.

Netflix: And?

Castlevania team: continue exploring the parasitic corruption of the upper class and the Church and their constant usurpation of other religions and peoples in the name of their God

Netflix: AND???

Castlevania team: INTRODUCE YORUBA AND OTHER LESSER-KNOWN RELIGIONS AND SHOW THEM IN A POSITIVE LIGHT

Netflix: Go. Be great.

Also Netflix: Your budget is 5 dollars and if you're not instantly a hit we'll cancel you.

I keep on experimenting with color palettes, less saturated this time.

It turned out that the Asgardian/Elven Prince Loki is one of the most comforting Lokis for me.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

  1. It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and
  2. Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

listened to Bohemian Rhapsody today… i’m so very sorry

If this post gets 100 notes I’ll recreate the entire song through memes

OK so I’ll do my best to get this done soonish–it may be a week or two, but I’m doing it

My masterpiece… is complete.

op did not put in this much work for 160 notes

@hellsite-hall-of-fame got one for ya!

If anyone ever gets on your ass about asexuality being a recent tumblr thing, have this french book from 1975 who specifically talk about "asexuate, bisexual, or homosexual" people.

We've always been there, even if the vocabulary might have changed.

(This is for those who did not have time to become my patron in November and missed the reward. Just in case, I still remind you that being my patron is more profitable than buying each archive separately)

The unions aren't the ones refusing to return to the negotiating table - the studios are

[ID: tweet from C. Robert Cargill that says, "For those of you not in the industry, wondering how talks are going: THEY AREN'T The AMPTP isn't meeting with anyone. They aren't negotiating. They are quite literally waiting us out, hoping enough of us starve and lose our housing. That's it. That's their negotiating tactic." end ID]

Correct any misinformation about this when you see it! It's not the writers and actors holding out. It's always been the studios.
