#Beauty is in our mind

[aahanna]

"It's disheartening to see how society often prioritizes physical appearance over intellect and achievements. A recent example is the trolling of Prachi, a Class 10 UP board topper, who was mercilessly criticized for her looks by millions of Indians. What's even more tragic is that she has been open about her struggles with PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease), a medical condition that affects her appearance. Despite her impressive achievements, the hurtful comments about her looks will likely stay with her for a lifetime. Let's please stop judging and trolling people based on their physical appearance.

My biggest delusion is the aggressive belief that if Spencer Reid and I existed in the same universe and were the same age, I could make him fall in love with me.

#I feel like i COULD though #like based on our interests and personalities #only thing is Im not stunningly beautiful like every other person he dates #but Spencer isnt shallow so I still think id have a chance #Spencer reid #criminal minds #matthew gray gubler

i'm honestly so confused where the general assumption i've seen more and more comes from that gale is insecure about his looks or body.

he has grey hairs, he has fine lines, he has the odd scar--and he never once mentions or indicates that it's a thing that irks him or something he feels like he needs to hide.

on the contrary, gale seems quite comfortable in his body.

gale has a lot of insecurity in him, but this insecurity is anchored in other parts of himself that i feel like are overlooked in order to project something on his character that... isn't really there.

if you want to dig deep into gale's insecurities, i think you'd need to look into something that instead is very blatantly obvious in the game: being good enough for who he is.

i'm also a bit confused by some of the body type headcanons i have seen that i feel veer sort of into age bias territory, but i'm not sure i've organised my thoughts enough to speak about this yet with the sensitivity it requires.

i honestly feel like this a matter of people on this site needing to learn that people in their 30s/40s exist and that they don't die with shame when they leave the house.

I recently had this link shared with me by one of my lovely friends here in the fandom, and found it so compelling that I wanted to share it with all of you.

This is a recent article from Vanity Fair about Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, both iconic actors from the era we now call "Old Hollywood," and it details their extremely interesting--both by the standards of the era and today--relationship. It's a long read, but more than worth it.

For those who may not know, Cary Grant was an English-born American actor and iconic leading man, and Randolph Scott was an American actor most known for appearing in Westerns. Both men were married to women/had children at varying points in their lives, but by some accounts (and especially what is chronicled in this article), they were the loves of each other's lives, even though being openly queer was next to impossible at the time, and would've been looked at as a career-ending (and maybe even life-ending) move.

There also seem to be quite a few parallels between Cary and Randolph 90 years ago and Michael and David today. The two men actually lived together for a number of years, during which the press of the day chose to portray them as "just two fun-loving bachelors waiting to find the right gal," all while Grant in particular starred in films with queer-flavored undertones that were both bold and downright dangerous in the era of the Hays Code. They continued living together when Grant was first married to his first wife, Virginia Cherrill (and after they divorced), and fun fact: While Grant was married, Scott moved right next door...so they were, in fact, neighbors.

Here are a few other excerpts that very much reminded me of Michael and David, for your consideration. (FYI that "Archie Leach" was Cary Grant's birth name before he changed it to his stage name.) This first one calls to mind the Radio Times calling Michael and David a "handsome couple" on the night of the NTAs in 2021:

This next one of course made me think of Michael and David talking on David's podcast (skip to the 1:25 mark) in 2019 about hating photo shoots and how Michael flat-out refused to answer questions at one point and only got through it because of David:

And this last one features a quote from a close friend about Grant and Scott that nearly made my heart skip an entire beat. For reasons that will soon be very, very obvious:

(I mean...)

What is also remarkable about this article (though not necessarily in a good way) is the mention of how little has changed since Grant and Scott's time. How even today, any actor who comes out as any flavor of queer is immediately looked at differently, and how the fear of both professional and personal repercussions keeps people in the closet for so many reasons.

These were the parts of the article that stood out to me the most, but as always I would love to hear from my followers with your thoughts and takes on the parallels above or anything else that you find interesting...

#michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #david tennant #soft scottish hipster gigolo #vanity fair #cary grant #randolph scott #old hollywood #this is somehow heartbreaking and beautiful all at once #also 'Our souls did touch' makes me think of Michael and David every time they look at each other #the parallels are paralleling #but i will leave it to my followers to make up their own minds #queer history #thoughts #discourse

can’t think of anything to say other than it was everything I could have ever expected and wanted and hoped for. seeing them perform truly is an electric experience and I am so, so grateful I got to be there. I’ve never felt such overflowing joy and love in one room before and that truly is down to what a one-of-a-kind group Starkid is. I’m so happy and a little emotional that it’s over but like it’s sung in days of summer, “don’t wanna see you go but it’s not forever, not forever” ⭐️💜

What I'm seeing from all these recent picrew tag games is that most of you don't look like your pfp and frankly that's a lot for me to wrap my mind around.

#emynn.op #Lyse being blonde and not Ed Teach with emo makeup fully took me out ngl #don't get me wrong you're all beautiful #it's just in my mind I was friends with a lot of people that weirdly all looked like characters #on beloved hit show Our Flag Means Death

Cogsworth and Lumiere as humans are cursed variants of the ineffable husbands.

Everyone, I had the worst thought. I posted it on my Discord server earlier because I could not unsee it. I just randomly thought of a Disney movie. I was thinking of Beauty and The Beast and I was like "Why do human Lumiere and Cogsworth (the candle and clock) look like a variant of Aziraphale and Crowley?-"
