One of the funniest little moment in Sinners is when Pearline says Sammie seems like a nice young man, and he responds with “I ain’t always nice. Ain’t that young either” and he looks like this –
Sometimes I am like, “man I wish Tim wasn’t getting ignored by DC (except for a cameo in during pride month).” But then I look at whatever the fuck DC is doing with Jason and think ,“maybe I am good.”
sorry my stance on stories w no homophobia is just um. well it could do w a little homophobia if im being honest
#I think I’ve finally put my finger on why get less invested in fantasy stories where homophobia isn’t real #which is #if you’re in a world where being queer is normal and completely unremarkable #in a world where noble families set their sons up or whatever #aside from the logistical questions I think what gets me is more #if the story is focused on romance #at that point it’s interchangeable with a hetero book for me #if their relationship is considered bog standard #if there are no norms they’re pushing against #no hesitation or implications #everyone is assumed bi so nobody is learning anything about themselves #it also means there’s no queer subcultures #or community #idk to use a prev example of 1940s But No Homophobia #I would much rather read about characters that are in or pointedly outside of queer spaces and communities #You don’t have to show the rest of the world and graphic homophobic detail for the reader to understand that it’s there #I don’t want to say there’s no point in it being queer otherwise #because a lot of people take a comfort in those stories #Which is why we just need more of all kinds #But to me if the characters are doing the same thing that everybody else is in their world #I get the same thing out of it they do out of a hetero romance #Anyway I would like a lot of books in this genre but I’m always gonna land on the side of homophobia for it tragically
We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don’t have community or meaningful connection with others, so we’re all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is “interesting”, what I in fact mean is that it’s “nightmarish and I wish I could wake up”
The entire x-files creative team: Continuity? Never heard of her. Show bible? No. Is Mulder a psychologist? Maybe. Did Mulder and Scully meet in 1992 or 1993? Who knows!
Also the entire x-files creative team: We WILL remember Mulder has a waterbed.
no honestly because THAT’S the thing they have locked down? Not idk - anything else?
