French queer playlist because why not
Comme ils disent by Charles Aznavour (1972) | about a gay man, he cross-dresses too. Don't really know how to explain that one. It's great, it aged really well (Aznavour was a straight man but he had several queer friends)
Sans Contrefaçon by Mylène Farmer (1987) | wasn't actually written with trans masculinity in mind, but it's a trans masc anthem at this point
Ziggy (un garçon pas comme les autres) by Céline Dion (1991; the original cover/song was in 1978 tho) | girl falls in love with her friend, a gay teen - is sad for herself but doesn't insult him or anything
College boy by Indochine (2013) | a song I found not so long after figuring out my own queerness so it has a special place in my heart. lots of cw for the visual clip (homophobia, bullying, conservatism, police violence, religious hypocrisy, physical assault, crucifixion)
J'ai le droit aussi by Calogero (2014) | gay teenager wants to live like he wants, is scared of other's view/judgement on him (including his parents)
Mohammed je t'aime by Gargäntua (2015) | being gay in the hood is like everywhere else - it may not be a good idea to be public about it. lots of cw for the visual clip (physical assault, homophobia, internalized homophobia, suicide). I hope one day Gargäntua will make a song about Mohammed finding happiness because he clearly deserves it if not for the trauma in this song
comme les autres by keen'v (2015) | gay man (teen?) coming out to his father, father is homophobic
C'est toi qu'elle préfère by Alice et Moi (2017) | sapphic anthem at this point; unrequited love
Normal by Eddy de Pretto (2018) | gay man responding to an homophobe (honestly i find it very satisfying)
Grave by Eddy de Pretto (2018) | the singer is an openly gay man, he talks to a wide range of different gay boys/teens/men and are telling them to not worry when they discover their homosexuality; that it's okay
Séduction by Joanna (2018) | bi woman falls in love with another woman
Ta reine by Angèle (2018) | wlw.
Amour censure by Hoshi (2019) | Hoshi is an openly lesbian singer; the song denounces homophobia
Immoral & Illégal by Gargäntua (2022) | 'Everything I love is immoral and illegal' - if that's not a queer feeling. More seriously, it's more me deciding to interpret the song this way then the song being about queerness. Still, whether you listen to this song and think about addiction, queerness, or any marginalized community, well.. well you can't change my mind about it having (intended or not) queer subtext
La mort avec toi by Gargäntua (2022) | literally 'partners in crimes', I decided it was queer for various reasons but you may not think like me

Séduis-moi
The thing about seduction - what makes it truly successful - is one must become intimately familiar with their target. They must understand them, learn them, know them, and then craft an image that speaks to the target of seduction, that calls to them.
Of course, there are common threads, things that become almost a given in what those around me are after. My favor has been known to open certain doors, though fewer than one might imagine. I have never been the type to promote those who have graced my bed; my pattern is rather the opposite, noticing candidates as they have risen in my ranks.
Do you consider yourself worthy? Are you able to pique my interest, to handle my desire? Do you have the wherewithal to look up into my eyes and meet my gaze without hesitation - even as my fingers wrap around your throat? They say my heartbeat is unlike any other they have ever heard. Would you dare flinch at its rhythm?
Before you answer - I am not for everybody, my little anon. I am darkness incarnate, my very flesh is knit together with blood and venom and sacrifice. My touch can bruise, my teeth can cut. My desire is infrequent, yes, but do not mistake infrequence for tranquility. I am a storm, I am lightning, and I behave as such.
And yet - I am attentive, almost gentle in my brutality. I am an experience, a balance of pleasure and pain that leaves those who have felt me, craving me months, even years after, long after I have tired of them.
Can you see, then, how complex I am, how intricate the situation is, how I cannot possibly successfully seduce you based on this ask alone?

The X-Files' title in other languages is so fucking funny to me for some reason. Like I decided to look it up out of curiosity bc I've been rewatching it and some of them are just incredible. Here's a list so you can get a get a load yourself:
🇫🇷 X-Files : Aux frontières du réel (X-Files: On the Borders of Reality)
🇩🇪 Akte X – Die unheimlichen Fälle des FBI (X-Files – The FBI's Uncanny Cases)
🇷🇺 Секретные материалы (Secret Materials)
🇪🇪 Salatoimikud (Secret Files)
🇷🇸 Досије икс/Dosije iks (Dossier X)
🇺🇦 Цілком таємно (Completely Secret)
🇱🇻 X-faili. Slepenās lietas (The X-Files. Secret things)
There are probably more but these are the ones that stand out the most to me
