Domesticity Series: Part 2 The Move
Tumblr media
Description: Finding a cottage away far away from town, this story delves into the process of moving and falling for someone unexpectedly fast.
Warnings: This Chapter is from William’s pov, fluff,
The tides were turning in this dreadful town. Winter changed gracefully, the leaves budding slowly on the trees, flowers blooming around every corner.
There she was, immaculate and indescribably beautiful. The wind brushed soundly through the dampened stems of grass, the flowers bending ever so gently as I lay watching her gracefully dancing and making funny faces while she held onto the polaroid camera, attempting to take photos of us together in the meadow.
The war had been over for a year now and after my divorce I stumbled upon a cottage house with a price we couldn’t pass up.
The backyard even had an orchard, filled with orange trees, apple trees, berried bushes scattered along the dirt path while various birdbaths and wheelbarrows were standing near and far. 
When we had gone to retrieve our belongings to move, we stopped at the local nursery, purchasing two flowers. One for her, and for myself, planting them side by side near the front of what would be our garden.
We began painting the house with one another before we moved in our belongings. The living room a golden shade of yellow, white curtains draping the window that peered out into the woods of our backyard. To my surprise, she was quite the animal whisperer, creating small talk with the deer from a distance, teaching me how to obtain the friendship of squirrels by offering them peanuts right from the cusp of my hands. I had never seen anything quite like it.
“Haven’t you ever painted before?” She giggled innocently, brushing her wet paintbrush over the tip of my nose. Her nose snickered as she laughed gleefully, noticing that I had been using the color that was intended for our bedroom upstairs.
“Can’t say I have, y’know I could learn many things from you Y/N. Far more than anyone would believe.” She waved me off playfully, her cheeks turning a rosy shade of red, blushing from my compliment before setting down her paintbrush and tugging on my arm, lifting me away from the discolored white baseboards.
“Come. Surely, the first coat needs to dry and those boxes won’t move themselves.” I followed her out to the car, my eyes scanning every movement she made. I had never felt so at ease, so comfortable with a woman and I found myself falling for her every passing second of every passing day. She was truly an angel, and never pretended to be someone she wasn’t. That was one of the things I loved most about her.
With neither of us owning much, it didn’t take long to bring all the boxes inside. She wouldn’t allow me to carry anything for her, she’d insist that I wouldn’t be doing everything alone and I hadn’t believed her until now. It was an unexplainable feeling really. My heart finally feeling as if the voids had been filled by this unexplainably magnetizing woman.
We had finished moving in the evening. The kitchen hadn’t been fully stocked of course, but we’d build as we carried on with our life together. She’d constantly stress and apologize that she didn’t own more than what she had, and I’d have to stop her from talking such non sense. Reassuring her that this journey was just beginning, that we’d be quite alright as long as we had each other.
She’d crack jokes with me, taught me how to play chinese checkers on the hardwood floor while we’d wait for the walls to dry in the living room. Exchange and discuss our favorite works of literature and journalism until she was dozing off into my arms on the couch that we had placed in the center of the room away from the walls so the piece of furniture wouldn’t get wet.
I stared down, really taking in her natural beauty as she slept peacefully, lightly snoring here and there. I knew if I ever told her she was snoring she’d be embarrassed and in disbelief, so I never told her. Tracing her arm gently, I smiled softly to myself, finally feeling a sense of happiness.
There wasn’t a worry or doubt in my mind that I would propose to this woman. I would provide for her to any extent that I could and ensure happiness in her life. She deserved it more than anyone I had ever met. Always so giving and caring, never in a upset mood.
She hadn’t known it yet but when she was at a dentist appointment last week, I had gone ring shopping. I couldn’t explain to you the feeling of being a stranger in a new town. It was quite a relief to understand that no one would be able to spoil the surprise.
Maybe I was moving a bit fast but who’s to put a time on love? You can’t, not when in your heart, you know it’s right.
It comes when you least expect it, and I had never expected to fall for a woman so hard again after Vera, but she was the past and Y/N was my present and future and I haven’t regretted any of this. Nor would I ever.

I’ve wanted to make this post for a while but wanted to wait until the dub was officially over so
My Final Thoughts on the TGCF Season 2 English Dub
Howard Wang as Xie Lian is fucking perfect. Every single time he spoke it just, I don’t know how to properly put it into words, except it is so well done?? But when XL started basically having a mental breakdown in front of Hua Cheng after Lang Qianqiu found out about the truth of the Gilded Banquet, holy fuck did the emotions just hit me in the feels. The scream and he emotional fatigue after? Xie Lian’s voice is perfection omg
Shoutout to James Cheek for just voicing the gayest character ever (Hua Cheng) and writing the gayest script for TGCF. While I liked his voice in the first season, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of it. It wasn’t until the second season where almost everything improved, and James’s voice for Hua Cheng? *chef’s kiss*. Okay but at least tone down the gayness a bit. And seeing someone who has read the novel and having little easter eggs for the novel readers for them to go insane over is incredible. I’m going to miss his voice in Season 3 since they’re going to have to cast someone else as Hong’er, but that’s ok.
Male and Female Shi Qingxuan: OMG??? Perfect casting. I just know they both put so much effort into them and I am eternally grateful. They just sound like the best of friends (they are). Every single line from them was so fucking iconic, which is accurate to the Wind Master’s character. I love both their voices so much you don’t understand.
Lang Qianqiu: AAHHHHH. My son, my boy, they gave him justice and I am so happy. First read through of TGCF, I only cared for HuaLian, but reading it again has made me appreciate and fall in love with the side characters, with Lang Qianqiu being one of them. I’ll say it did take a bit for me to adjust to it, but he sounds so much like an anime protagonist that I am ok with it. Another perfect casting. I’m going to be so fucking sad that he won’t appear for such a long time, and while he does get brought up occasionally, his last appearance is going to be the finale. I’ll miss you my son 😔
Jun Wu: ASDFGHJKL. He sounds like such a manipulative/toxic ex and a father figure at the same time. wtf. But his voice is so sexy tho. I don’t like it but I do. And I thought his original Chinese voice was hot, and then the English one goes and surprises me. I hate that I love it
Qi Rong: Perfection, glorious, fucking incredible. HIS VA IS PERFECT. Original was slaying so hard, and English? Fucking killing it. He was actually the one I was looking forward to the most, and he 👏 did 👏 not👏 disappoint. I won’t get over the perfect casting. Ever. The crazy and mad laughs? The insults I’ve never heard about but decided to keep in mind? Literally everything. I’m sorry I can’t get over how great his voice is
Feng Xin and Mu Qing (of course together): I am so biased towards Lucien Dodge, so I immediately loved his voice for him. He slaying that tsundere cat boy vibe so well. I will admit that his voice made me like his character more tbh. Ok but Feng Xin’s? Every time I hear it, I always need at least 30 seconds to get used to it. Idk why. I don’t hate it, and I actually love it, but he sounds so much like a dad it’s so funny. I still love him tho.
Pei Ming: 😳. No but that was actually my reaction to his voice. Why is every single god’s voice so hot. Please calm down. I really did not like Pei Ming at first but damn. I can actually understand why every single woman went weak with him.
Ling Wen: While she didn’t get as much dialogue this season, I’ll still count her. I’ve heard some drama relating to her voice actress from a while back but I’m not bringing it up rn. But her English voice is almost exactly the same as the original, just, different languages of course. She has such a unique voice and it’s quite pleasing to hear. She also sounds a bit like Siri but it fits her character
Other major characters that got only a few lines but still slayed their roles (Ming Yi, Pei Xiu, Jian Lan, Yin Yu): Hello?? Can I be patient to hear their voices again? Probably not, but please I need more of them. Ming Yi sounded hot since he took voice lessons from Hua Cheng, Pei Xiu sounded like such a little wet cat (wtf where did this crush on him come from), Jian Lan slayed because she is such an underrated queen, and Yin Yu? I WAS NOT EXPECTING A DEEP VOICE FROM WTF. I will say I do prefer his Chinese VA a little more due to it being more in character with him sounding soft and somewhat tired. But I enjoy his confident and announcing voice. They should keep him for the QuanYin flashbacks.
All in all, perfect cast. I don’t have twitter/X but I see things from the VA’s from time to time. And seeing them interact with the fandom and trying to give more to their characters makes me so happy. I just desperately need for more of the characters to have voices (aka Shi Wudu, Quan Yizhen, Mei Nianqing, Yushi Huang, Male!Ling Wen, White-No-Face). Give me more please.
Please check out the dub it’s so fucking great.

totally biased and unhinged wlw book recomendations list
Happy Pride! I have over 80 books in my “sapphic” goodreads list and these are my personal favs…I don’t have the energy to type actual descriptions but here are the first things that came to my mind with some of them. enjoy. or don’t. to be clear most of these are NOT romances. that’s a different genre and I feel like sometimes ppl get annoyed that the queer sci fi book had more sci fi than romance…but it’s just how it is. ** **
Literature/misc 
Stone Butch Blues - Leslie Feinberg
REQUIRED READING FOR ALL
fictionalized history of a working class jewish queer person and their experiences with lesbian bars, transitioning, unions, and more!
extremely heart breaking but I learned a lot of history I didn’t realize I didn’t know* **Last Night at the Telegraph Club-Malinda Lo **
main character is a chinese-american lesbian coming of age in the 1950′s in san francisco
she forms a sort of relationship with a girl in class and they go to a lesbian bar secretly
can’t recommend enough!  
Her Body and Other Parties - Carmen Maria Machado
Carmen Maria Machado is the GOAT. Her writing is just incredible and some of these stories are haunting.
single handedly made me like short stories.
both Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers listed it as one of their favs. I Know the End is based on a story from this book.
contains a Law and Order: SVU fanfic which HAUNTS me* 
In The Dream House - Carmen Maria Machado
a genuinely heartbreaking book about abuse in queer relationships
semi autobiographical/looking at histories of abuse
Everyone in this room will someday be dead - Emily Austin
if you struggle with anxiety or/and depression and a fixation on death and/or illness, boy do I have the book for you.
Painfully relatable but also very funny. in a laugh at your own pain kinda way. and the main character is a lesbian in a relationship. I truly love this book and highly recommend.
I had it on my tbr for a year and when I finally started I finished it in one sitting. 
No One Belongs Here More Than You - Miranda July
definitely an acquired taste but one of my favorite books of all time.
a bunch of short stories focusing on loneliness
many queer characters in the stories
The First Bad Man - Miranda July
a dowdy, depressed, anxious woman is asked to house her boss’ aggressive, sexual, and comparatively young daughter (20′s)
they start beating each other up
that leads to other activities
I cried so hard reading this book. That might just be a personal thing though.
It is gay and it is amazing but also it broke my heart. It’s also completely unhinged. can’t recommend more. 
Disobedience - Naomi Alderman
I did not expect to like this as much as I did. I hated the author’s other book. But I really liked about 90% of Disobedience. Really interesting look at religion and conformity. 
The Rehearsal - Eleanor Catton
another unhinged classic. A lot of my literary recs are a bit unhinged.
def not a romance.
A book about the weird relationship teachers have with their students, specifically in music and theatre. Touches on themes of consent and abuse, as well as sexuality and power dynamics. 
My Education - Susan Choi
Book about a woman who falls in love with her professor’s wife but the woman won’t commit to her. that’s kinda the whole story.
9/10 would recommend but that’s just me
end made me angry ngl
The Miseducation of Cameron Post - emily m. danforth
from the movie trailers I thought this book was about cameron at a conversion camp, but it’s about way more than that. and only maybe 1/5 of the book takes place at the camp.
Liked it way more than I thought I would! 
My Brilliant Friend - Elena Ferrante
sooooo this book isn’t explicitly queer but ok actually it is and I will fight anyone on this. my favorite book series ever so it must be on the list.
this book has everything: explorations of class dynamics, italian language discourse, academic rivalry, shoe drama, explorations of gender dynamics, dolls, kinda mean main character, obsession, very internal main characters
The Lying Life of Adults - Elena Ferrante
this book IS explicitly queer and literally when the fuck is the sequel coming out?
has many of the same themes as MBF. I am a whore for Elena Ferrante so had to put it on the list but I wouldn’t say either of the books are like SCREAMING explicitly wlw content. but it does inform many of the actions of the characters*
Thriller/Horror/dark
They Never Learn - Layne Fargo
when I say this book changed my life
sometimes a hot bi lit professor ruthlessly murdering rapists on campus is the catharsis one needs
the inverse of bury your gays
this book made me so happy
Plain Bad Heroines - emily m. danforth
polyamory, horror, so many footnotes, every character in this book is gay and there are so many characters
the moral of the story is polyamory? I think
The Luminous Dead - Caitlin Starling
this is a really claustrophobia-inducing book about a woman who goes into a cave lead only by this asshole woman who really doesn’t care for her well being…they sort of trauma bond? I loved it.
you will NOT catch me cave diving
 Women in Gray - K.D. Rye
very dark book about a woman who’s girlfriend is an evil scientist who has created a technology that can control her and how she escapes
Sci-Fi:
One Last Stop - Casey Mcquiston
look this book isn’t for everyone and theres a lot of discourse but here’s why I loved it: time travel, public transportation, wlw, Lost references 
 A Memory Called Empire - Arkady Martine
an incredible book about assimilation in an empire
very funny and great worldbuilding/culture building
has really interesting themes and the sequel is even better imo
the main relationship is between two women and it is very connected to the themes of assimilation and personhood but also a cute relationship 
The Space Between Worlds - Micaiah Johnson
what if the multiverse was discovered but to travel to a parallel universe you can only do it if you’re dead in that universe. otherwise you will instantly die
so who do they chose to do multiversal travel? the disenfranchised because they are more likely to be dead in other universes
book very much delves into themes of class and race.
I’m obsessed with the budding relationship between the mc and her “handler”.
misunderstanding taken to a whole new level
Gideon The Ninth - Tamsyn Muir
what if necromancers were in space and they were all kinda catholic but also queer 
don’t make the mistake I did and not read it because it has a man’s name as the title. Gideon is a lesbian
Fantasy: 
When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain - Nghi Vo
what if there was a sexy tiger lady
lots of important themes 
The Witches Heart - Genevieve Gornichec
like Circe or the Penelopiad but for Norse Myths and the mc has a girlfriend
Black Sun - Rebecca Roanhorse
great fantasy book that is based not on eurocentric standards
lots of different queer characters
I kinda forgot the plot but I remember there was a bi mermaid and some priests and i liked it a lot
The Broken Earth Trilogy - NK Jemisin
not actually sapphic (except a very side character) but it is very queer and also one of the best fantasy books EVER so it goes on the list
what if the oppressed really were dangerous? would it be ethical to oppress them? (the answer is no)
the oppressed in this case are earth benders
very dark when you connect the story to real world atrocities
The Traitor Baru Cormorant - Seth Dickinson
the first in a so-far-great series about the horrors of colionalism/imperialism and one very fucked up girl’s journey to avenge/save her island
one of my favs and very gay but also will make you cry
the series as a whole has a LOT of great queer women in it
will make u so depressed about historical and current atrocities
She Who Became the Sun - Shelley Parker Chan
china in 1300s and a girl takes the place of her brother and claims his destiny
mc is actually more of nonbinary
great writing. highly reccomend
The Unbroken-C.L. Clark
another book about colonialism
mc is a soldier who ends up working for the ruler’s niece who is trying to stop a rebellion
lots of ethical questions about loyalty and such. lots of drama. don’t get me wrong it has a lot of queer stuff too 
The Jasmine Throne - Tasha Suri
the world is based on histories of India 
a magical woman and an ambitious princess form a shaky alliance

Entrapment
Chapter Twenty Two: Overtime
Tumblr media
Mentions of: Guilt, Death, Murder, and Smut. NSFW!!
A/N: The moment you’ve all been waiting for 🤭
Tags:@dead-bixxxtch-walking @vandeaad @mama-miya @the-fandoms-georgie @moonshineinasippycup @stwbwwychan
You frowned to yourself as you went through what you could from the police station. There had been another murder, and you couldn’t do anything to stop it. Debra Myers, a young woman with a bright future ahead of her, only a sophomore in college when she got killed. The murder was brutal too. She was stabbed five times in the chest, even though the first one killed her.
You felt guilty. Maybe if you could’ve figured it out sooner…You felt like it was all right there, his patterns, his behavior, his personality. Something just didn’t click. And you couldn’t figure out what. Then again, you were closer than any of those incompetent cops and detectives at the police department.
“You alright?” Jed asked, putting a hand to your shoulder. You jumped slightly, snapping out of your thoughts. “Yeah, I’m fine.”
“You sure? Because you’ve been staring at that picture for the past five minutes.” You looked down at the photograph you were holding, a picture of Debra that you were going to use for the papers. One where she was still pretty and alive.
“Oh, sorry.” You murmured, putting the paper down on the table. Jed glanced over at the clock. “You know, it’s a quarter to five. You can head out if you want.”
“Jed, I’m good, really. I can handle it.” You told him with a small smile. He gave you a skeptical look, but after a moment of studying your face, his expression changed.
“Okay, but I don’t think we’re going to get this all done by five. I’m going to ask Jamison for some overtime. You in for a late night?” He offered.
You grinned back. “Yeah, I’m always ready for that.”
“Perfect.” With that, he walked off to Jamison’s office, while you continued to go through the information.
Hours had passed and it was getting rather late. It was just you and Jed at the office and you ordered Chinese food and ate together while you worked. He helped keep things light by joking around and talking with you.
You and Jed have been working together for a while now, for a solid month and a half. While you did know him before that, you weren’t as close with him as you are now.
Jed was kind, considerate, and funny. He also didn’t talk about himself much, preferring to hear about you instead. While you did find that to be slightly weird, you decided to not push it. You also found it to be kind of hot, in some weird mysterious way.
“Alright, I think that’s it.” He said as he hit the enter button on the keyboard. You stared at the paper you had written on your monitor. You had finished a little earlier than him, and were waiting for him to finish to ask if he could look over your writing.
He spent a couple of minutes skimming the article, rubbing at the stubble on his chin. You watched him, studying his reaction and preparing for what he had to say.
“This is great, ______.” You beamed at the praise. “You really think so?”
“Oh yeah. It’s the best thing you’ve written yet. I can’t wait to read more.” He complimented.
“Thanks. I didn’t want to make it too dark or edgy, but I wanted people to be aware. Does that make sense?” You asked. He nodded in response. “I could see what you’re going for.”
“I think a good amount of people are cautious about this Ghostface stuff, but they never think it’s going to happen to them. They never know who he’s going after next. It could be the most innocent, average person, he doesn’t care..It could be anyone.”
Jed placed his hand on yours, breaking your chain of thought, and stopping your rant. “_______, it’s perfect. Are you sure you’re okay?”
You looked him in his eyes, and you didn’t know what happened next, all that you lost all self control. You leaned into him, kissing him hard. He was surprised at first, but then he kissed you back, pulling you close.
You have been so stressed out lately, maybe this could finally be the release you need. You pulled away from him with a coy smile, pushing his glasses back onto the bridge of his nose.
Something in those baby blue eyes of his darkened, and the next thing you knew, he was taking your hand, leading you over to Jamison’s office. “Jed, what’re you-”
He threw his glasses onto the desk, and pushed you into Jamison’s chair, kissing you before kissing down your neck. He kissed down your neck, occasionally wrapping his lips around spots that made you writhe and squirm, leaving light hickeys.
He leaned over you, unbuttoning your blouse and whispering into your ear. “Let me take care of you, okay? You deserve it.”
“Okay.” You let out a shaky breath, as he popped the final button. His hand trailed up your stomach slowly, making you flinch in sensitivity. He caressed the undersides of your lacy pink bra, before leaning in and kissing your cleavage gently. You totally forgot you were wearing that, and you were so glad you did.
His tongue flicked out against the material as he went lower, moving over your clothed nipple, and making you gasp. He went lower, kissing down your stomach, before moving to your skirt.
You unzipped it, letting him pull it down your legs, before he looked at your matching set of panties. He pushed them aside, glancing at your soaked cunt.
“So wet already, huh?” He purred, making you whine. “Jed, stop teasing.”
He smirked in response, spreading your thighs and caressing them softly, before he began to taste you. He licked up your slit, groaning to himself, before he flicked his tongue over your clit.
He only took things further, pressing his face against your heat and slipping his tongue into your cunt, his nose bumping against your clit just right.
“Oh God.” You threw your head back with a mewl, arching your back. He rolled his eyes, groaning against you, the vibrations making you jolt. He was addicted to how you taste.
You ran your fingers through his hair, holding tight onto his messy brown locks. If you paid close attention, you would probably notice that there was a darker shade there on his scalp, indicating his hair was dyed from black to brown. But you were far too distracted by how good he looked between your legs.
He pushed his face further into you, eating you out like a starved man. He went faster and just right, and the next thing you knew you were cumming, your legs shaking and your back arching as you finished right on his face with the loud moan of his name. He helped you finish up, before pulling away with one messy kiss to your sensitive clit.
“Fuck.” You panted softly. No one’s ever made you feel like that before. Some of the sex you’ve had has been good, but most of it was average and below. No one’s ever made you feel like this before. You were hooked.
He pushed you out of the seat, undoing his belt and pushing his pants down, revealing the sizable tent in his boxers. You would prefer if both of you were completely naked, but you didn’t mind this either.
He patted his lap, before removing his boxers. You smirked at him. “You want me to repay the favor?”
“No, better than that.” He replied. You straddled him, grinding your soaked slit against his tip, feeling his precum rub against you.
“Do you have a condom?” You asked. He shook his head. “It’s fine, I’m on birth control anyways.”
You slowly sank down on him, moaning at his length. Fuck, he was big. Once he was in, you started to move. Slow, at first, and then faster.
“You feel so good.” He groaned. You leaned in, kissing him as you continued. This was just what you needed.
His stubble rubbed against your neck just right, and you moaned as you got close. “That’s it, clench me just like that.”
The praise threw you over the edge, making you finish, with him following suit, climaxing on your stomach.
“You think you can take one more?” He asked, surprising you. “Huh?” You murmured, still dazed from your high.
“One more..You think you can handle it?” You nodded in response, letting him position himself behind you.
He was soft at first, holding your hips gently, while you held onto Jamison’s desk. But soon enough, he started to go faster and faster. “Jed…feels amazing.”
Your eyes rolled, and he cupped your cheeks, making you look over his shoulder and kiss him as he kept going. He went faster and faster. You dug your nails into the wooden desk, some of his papers falling off.
“Just let it go. There you go. Good girl.” He groaned, as you climaxed again, before finishing deep inside. You clenched him hard as he did, moaning out.
You both sat back in Jamison’s chair, panting softly as you came down from your highs. Jed helped clean you up with towels from the bathroom, and got you back into your clothes, while he put his own on.
“I’ll take you home, okay?” He said, pressing a small kiss to your forehead. You smiled back. “Okay.”
As you waited for the elevator, Danny walked over and grabbed the camcorder he hid behind the computer. He smirked to himself, switching it off and leaving the camera on his desk. He pulled out the memory card before joining you.
He’s got you right where he wants you.

This week's questions
This past Saturday night, we were in your audience at the Music Box Theater in Chicago for the screening of “Call Northside 777”. For some viewers, the 1948 dialogue seemed hopelessly funny, no matter how serious the scene, whereas for others, the same dialogue elicited no such reaction. Do you see this kind of split reaction among viewers when you present noir films across the country, and if so, what do you make of it?  (Is it okay to laugh at a serious scene if/when the dialogue sounds too hokey to sustain the mood?) -Mike I am planning to attend my first NOIR CITY this year. Any suggestions for first timers to maximize the experience? -Carlton, Atlanta, GA Could you put in a plug for the downloadable back issues of NOIR CITY Magazine? -Jerry, Burke, VA What should take precedence …the music or the sound? Very often, if the sound effects are that powerful and important, they take the music out. There are directors who feel that one shouldn’t hear the music.  Music can be overshadowed by horses’ whinnies, or anything the sound-effect person put into the track prior to the musical scoring. -Alan, San Anselmo, CA. I have a question concerning noir films set in England but staring American actors. In "Night and the City” Richard Widmark would not be able to obtain a work permit. Burt Lancaster in "Kiss The Blood off My Hands” is in England illegally, having jumped ship. How does Bill Saunders not get deported at the end of his prison sentence and how does he get a legitimate job as a truck driver without a passport or work papers? Also, there is nothing in the plot that makes it imperative that it be set in England. The story could easily have been changed to take place in the States. Why not make this change? Or am I the only one who notices or cares about such details? -David Fishman, Chesterfield, VA Curious if Eddie is familiar with a tongue-in-cheek 1954 homage to Film Noir produced as a 30-minute black and white episode of "The Adventures of Superman" TV series titled "Semi-Private Eye”. -Brian In watching TCM's marathon of Dick Tracy movies recently, it struck me how Noirish these RKO B movies were. Would these Dick Tracy movies be considered Film Noir? If so, would Eddie show them either on “Noir Alley”, or at a Noir film festival? -Scott, Los Angeles, CA Would you consider the Charlie Chan movies noir, and should they be aired regardless of the Chinese aspect of them? -Gerard It’s so interesting that Fritz Lang basically remade his 1944 film, The Woman in the Window, just a year later with “Scarlet Street”.  Do you know of any other instances where a director made such a close variation on his own film?  Also, which of the two films do you think is better?  -Kingpin Johnny, Doylestown, PA I recently watched a batch of early 1930s Joan Bennett movies and was struck by the contrast of her wise-cracking, sassy characters in those films with the film-noir roles she would go on to play in the '40s and '50s. Can you think of any other actresses that made a similar transition? -John from Bethesda Would Eddie consider "Julie" to be Doris Day’s noir film? Maybe “Midnight Lace”? -Pam Eddie, are you a fan of Westerns and what are your favorites? Would any qualify as noir? -Kitaman

Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Vinny Santorini x Reader
there isn’t enough being written for him..so let me write some :)
hopefully it’s not too bad and sorry it’s not very long
___________
“My daughters dress was pink. The flowers I got did not go with her dress.” The lady states to a very tired looking Vinny. Y/N could tell he was getting annoyed with the woman even though he got the order wrong. It made her chuckle.
“I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. I can give you a big discount on your next order or issue you a full refund.” He says in his nonchalant voice as if it’s rehearsed. Y/N finishes displaying the flowers in the front window of the shop and makes her way over to the man.
“Refund?” She asks looking for some window markers in the drawers under the front counter. “It’s always the refund. I can’t keep doing this job. It’s driving me crazy.” He complains to his girlfriend.
Y/N knew where he was coming from. Flowers was never Vinny’s thing. His family owned the flower shop so he couldn’t really up and leave. “You need to find something that sparks your motivation. Maybe something that can get us out of your mothers house?” Y/N says shutting the drawer having no luck finding the markers.
Vinny leans back on the counter crossing his arms over his chest. “It would be nice not having to check and see if my mother’s home everytime we-” he was interrupted by Y/N hugging him suddenly. He hugs her back a bit puzzled by the sudden affection. “You looked tired so I’m giving you a recharge hug.” She answers before he even gets to question what she’s doing.
“Oh well thank you.” He replies resting his cheek on top of her head with a warm smile. The two stayed like this for as long as they could. Vinny and Y/N had been the only one’s running the shop for a while now. His parents were getting older and the shop had seen better days. They got back to doing what they needed to do by the end of the day, exchanging conversations here and there.
It was later in the day around closing time when Y/N was outside about to finish her design on the front window. She was hoping her art would attract some new customers into the shop. “All done..!” She shouts to Vinny who’s inside finishing up a big corsage order. She sees him stand on the other side of the window admiring her art. “I think it’s crooked..!” He shouts back. Y/N steps back to see if it really is crooked but when she does he’s already grinning revealing he was just joking.
“Ha ha very funny.” She sarcastically says. Neither of them expected what was to come next. Within a blink of an eye a big blast comes from the Chinese restaurant next door which continued into the flower shop. The back of Y/N’s head hits the road pavement after she’s flown back from the blast
A couple of moments later she jolts up remembering Vinny being inside. “Ouch..” She hisses and holds the back her head which is bleeding a bit. Y/N gets up as fast as she can only seeing how destroyed everything is when she’s fully standing. The window to the shop was completely gone and not to mention the whole chinese restaurant.
“Vinny!” She runs over to him once she sees him laying in front of the window now outside. Y/N couldn’t tell if she had died because this man was smiling from ear to ear. Getting on her knees she shakes his shoulders which snaps him out of it. He continues to have a smile as he states, “Honey..I found my spark.”

Rewatching Wishful Thinking
Welcome to “Teddy Bear Docs and Deep Cuts”: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!
 Up today, s4e8: Wishful Thinking.
 When Sam finds a possible case about a woman attacked by a ghost in the showers at her gym, Dean can’t get to work on it fast enough. But the lady’s story is weird—not their kind of weird—and they’re about to give it up as a bad job when they get wind of a Big Foot in town. But—Big Foot isn’t real. As they dig a little deeper, they realize that people in town have been making wishes at the fountain at a local Chinese restaurant. The wishes come true—but quickly go bad. A little girl’s teddy bear does come alive, but he’s depressed and suicidal. A man’s unrequited love suddenly loves him dearly—too dearly. The boys track down the source of the shenanigans—an ancient coin tossed into, and stuck to the bottom of, the fountain. Once they convince the man who put it there to remove it, all returns to normal. Dean finally admits to Sam that he remembers hell, but refuses to talk about it, claiming he has no words with which to do so.
 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

So I have an au FengQing fic in which FQ take HC’s wager and lose, becoming humans (bc they’re honorable unlike those other fucks). I’ve been trying to update (yes, I know I have like nine wips, I AM trying), but that’s not the point.
The point is that my stupid ass brain has fed me yet another crack idea: [besides them going to war, FX beheading a XZ imposter, MQ mocking beyond all reason a Ju Yang imposter, one of MQ’s adopted kids and ex-official ascending during this time, FX not beating the cut sleeve accusations (MQ does not openly drool like he does lmao, it’d be funny, esp since he’d finally not be pretending to hate MQ and actually acknowledge him in all his glory), the two having mwah👌🏻 teamwork, the Chinese-shogun’s (correct later, self) sons deaths bc they’re assholes and power hungry—just after FX thinks aloud to MQ if he shouldn’t just take over that estate if all the sons die and a lil tussle about it, so they take it over upon their return and MQ the Ex-Again-Lower Class changes life for his villagers. Oh and he’s visited by the new general of the south a few times. He pointedly makes her first shrine in the exact spot she ascended bc his autistic ass is that flavor of sentimental (someone else did a good read on MQ being autistic. He is in my fics, no like then scroll).]
—Is FX getting cursed (probably after pissing them off) by some wrath to… be a woman. Of course she’s mortified. Absolutely mortified. MQ can’t do anything, with all his cultivation power and research. Southern General can’t either. MQ offers asking PM (or heaven) for help but FX puts that idea in the grave. So, she’s stuck. But Feng I’ve Always Wanted A Big Family Xin warms up to the idea. Naturally, MQ will NOT break his cultivation nor would FX try to cross the clear boundaries and his promise that he’d never need sex from MQ, but MQ had an uncle (the baby brother of Momma Mu) and a descendant shows up, the spitting image of MQ (we’ve all seen “I’m my great great relatives reincarnation” images). That’s all Momma’s Mu’s genes running strong. Bc of what her husband turned out to be (despite the parents having accepted the suiter and had the option to take her and MQ w them), her “side” wasn’t spoken of highly nor a lot.
MQ and FX have talked about this, as long as FX doesn’t bring home a disease, she’s free to fuck whoever she wants—preferably with subtly. She and cousin man hit it off. Blah blah blah, this is getting too long, anyway he hangs around. Inevitably, pregnancy happens. FX is tickled pink bc yay family and MQ is the anxiety-induced dotting-est “husband” ever (ignoring that FX never thought she wouldn’t be in his position). Cousin man went to idk do a thing and comes back, arguements and discussions are had. MQ gets yelled at for affectively banishing cousin man (MQ is the bbs’ Baba). MQ demands why not since he’s not being trustworthy (given what MQ’s dad was, he’s got high standards). FX admits it’s because she wants her kids to look like him—be a mix of them, the cottage core coupling dream. MQ, not for the first time, questions the allos.
Idk, my brain may have taken “FX is an ornery himbo” and sprinted.
FQ: *argueing over battle strategies* MQ, a man with a special interest of fighting: shut up and listen to someone with more know-how than you. Good boy. FX: … okay… 😳😳😳 Lmaoooo
FX: paint my eyebrows! MQ, a dumbass when it comes to FX: ???? You have too much eyebrow already tho. FX, who just wanted the lovey-dovey stuff: >:0
FX: what’s that look for? MQ: nothing. I don’t have a look. FX: don’t bullshit me! MQ: fine. It’s just… how funny would it be if we made it a rule that any probable suiters for our daughters had to be pure virgins too. FX: … that’s gonna piss so many people off, I love it
New idea that’s too cute not to share: FX walking into the kitchen for some water, and after an unexpected bathroom break courtesy of changed body, early in the morning to find MQ cleaning up some new street kids he’d somehow collected over night. MQ: … 👀 Kids: *frozen* FX, sighing: it’s too early for this. Whatever, I’m going back to bed. MQ, nuzzling the face of the kid he was currently scrubbing: yay🥰

Festivids 2022 -- a few recs :)
I knew almost none of the sources in this year’s Festivids collection, but fortunately you don’t always need to know the original to appreciate a good vid. I have only looked at a small portion of the collection, but here are a few recommendations for vids I really enjoyed!
Got the Time by usuallyhats (The Adventures of Tintin animated cartoon, 1991) SUCH. A. CHAOTIC. GOOD. TIME. This vid is so energetic & kinetic, I can feel the serotonin hitting my bloodstream as I watch -- a total lark!!
Handmade by feedingonwind (LiZiqi YouTube channel) An incredibly soothing, beautiful, fulfilling tribute to a young Chinese woman who shares very aesthetic YouTube videos showing her process for crafting home projects and lovely clothing. Just makes you feel good about life.
Weapon of Choice by JetpackMonkey (Busby Berkeley musicals). An incredible fever dream of a tribute to this inimitable subgenre of highly geometric 1930s insanity.
Black Tie by such_heights (A League of Their Own TV series, 2022) This was a tender and joyous celebration of the show’s many queer characters and is overflowing with beauty and pure 1940s ambience. The song could not be more perfect.
Rita by Rhea (Little Women South Korean TV series, 2022) OK, so this is 1) set in the modern day and 2) the subplot that this vid focuses on has absolutely nothing to do with anything in the Little Women novel, though I assume the series as a whole connects somewhere to the original story. None of that matters though, because this is a sumptuously beautiful distillation of pure longing that is breath-taking despite my total lack of context.
Where Is the World Going? by Dee_Laundry (120 battements per minute / BMP: Beats per Minute, 2017) As the summary says: To quote suzanne_f, "It’s about a) French people b) doing activism c) by arguing a lot with each other about d) prison reform and populism. It’s also very much a movie made about the AIDS epidemic by queer people."  ACT UP Paris in the early 1990s. Subtitles for the song are available in both French and English, and I’d recommend using them -- there are some powerful lyrical matches. This vid was deeply beautiful and inspiring, and far less bleak than one might imagine given the subject matter, though not soft-pedaling the reality either.
That’s What I Am by larissabernstein (Victor/Victoria, 1982) A very charming vid with a song that could not be more perfect!!
Don’t Forget You’re Precious by bingeling (Severance TV series). I haven’t seen this show but I know the premise and this vid is a hauntingly precise illustration of it.
Beverly Hills by Tafadhali (Columbo TV series) LOL, I already reblogged this one but can’t leave it off my official rec list! A very funny vid about this crumpled newspaper of a man as he shuffles his way through each case, the embodiment of an unassuming wrecking ball tearing through the schemes of glamorous villains.

Cecilia here, Happy St. Patrick's Day! I had a good one, got to do the Stations of the Cross, had an easy day at work and had a lovely fish dinner (wasn't sure what my church's stance was on fasting today so better safe than sorry.) Also just finished my 20th day toward my 33 days to Consecration to Mary, and tomorrow going to a 40 days for life rally to pray for a closing of a local abortion clinic. Otherwise have a random question. I love fantasy stuff, like dragons, fairies, the whole shebang. Are there any problems as a Catholic with liking fantasy stuff, or even thinking it could perhaps be real? I mean, unicorns are in the Bible and so are dragons. Like, not worship obviously, but like think they could perhaps exist. God Bless!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! ☘️
It sounds like you had an amazing day! You inspire me to keep strong. I had an easy day at work too. My mom brought home shakes, apple pies, and cupcakes! Even though our diocese gave us permission to eat meat today we both felt funny about it so no meat for us either. I read The Confession of Saint Patrick out loud to my mom after turning on the decorative lights, followed by watching Father Stu!
I have absolutely loved fantasy things ever since I was a young child, especially dragons. I was obsessed with dragons for a long, long time..when I was younger. The oldest tales of cultures used to be passed down generation to generation in word, and it is not surprising to find that they used imagery to try and grasp the form of fear of the unknown. Dragons, in fact, used to be drawn on the edge of world maps of old, because not a lot was known like we have now. Dragons are a common story found across all continents around the world, some see them as monsters and demons, others as ancestors with much wisdom made up of different animals, even made up gods. Satan takes on the form of a dragon, waiting to devour the child of the woman in the Bible. Since Satan was once the most powerful, intelligent angel, it would be easy for him to perhaps transform into such an image. We already know too well who the serpent was. Yes unicorns are mentioned as well!
It’s important to realize the difference between reality vs fiction as a Catholic. There is nothing wrong with admiring fictional creatures that artists and authors give us, but it becomes a problem if we worship them or think that specific fictional creation by some author itself is real, for example, Spyro, and tell others the lie that Spyro is a real animal. There are ways it can lead to sin, so make sure to ask your confessor next time you go so you can be informed better than I can explain. I think it’s important to also note that the veil we can’t see behind is real and there are real classified animals created by God that are very much dragon-like that you can actually learn about and see in real life. (I don’t know my horses as well as lizards so you must forgive me.) For example here are just a few… There are over 41 species of Draco alone.
Tumblr media
Draco taeniopterus (Thai flying dragon)
We also have this guy….they have been known to attack, kill, and eat humans! Yikes!
Tumblr media
Varanus komodoensis (Komodo dragon)!!
There are at least six or more species of Pogona (bearded dragon)…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Phycodurus eques (leafy sea dragon)
Tumblr media
Tribolonotus gracilis (Red-eyed Crocodile Skink)
Tumblr media
Dracaena guianensis (Northern Caiman Lizard)
Tumblr media
Ouroborus cataphractus (Armadillo Girdled Lizard)
Tumblr media
Hydrosaurus pustulatus (Phillipine Sailfin Lizard)
Tumblr media
Alligator sinensis (Chinese alligator)

III.
When Beidou wakes, she immediately regrets every single decision she’s ever made. Her temples thrum with pain, as if a vice was busy clamping either side of her head. She sighs, catching a whiff of the alcohol still lingering in her mouth. 
Note to self: I’m getting old. 
A year or two ago, Beidou would have been capable of going straight back to work after a wild night out. But she’s starting to realise that once she’s past the big three, her body simply can’t work magic anymore. She groans, rolling over and pressing her face into her pillow. 
Damn Juza and the others for dragging her to Yanshang Bar on a Friday night. Been a while, they said. Time to relax, they said. Six shots later she sure wasn’t relaxing — she can’t even remember what the hell she did.
Her phone buzzes once. Twice. Nonstop.
Beidou picks it up, gets blinded by the screen’s glare, and promptly tosses it aside. “Shut up!” she grumbles to nobody in particular. A sympathetic insect scurries across her messy room.
A few more angry tosses and turns, in which she tangles herself in her blanket, before Beidou finally gives up on going back to sleep. She stares at the ceiling fan, watching it quiver as it spins endlessly in a circle, over and over again. 
What was that thing Ningguang had mentioned once, long ago? A serpent eating its own tail?
Ouroboros. Yeah. That’s what her ceiling fan reminds her of. Just spinning and moving and expending all that energy but going nowhere. 
That hits a little too close to home.
Beidou rolls out of bed, dragging her blanket along with her. She reluctantly distangles her legs from the sheets as she gets to her feet and stretches. “Okay,” she declares to her non-existent audience, “Can’t waste a nice Saturday.”
Kicking her dirty uniform aside, the brunette hobbles into her bathroom. Beidou splashes water on her face, staring at the woman looking back at her in the mirror. It’s funny how the years take a toll on the body, she muses. What was once a bright ruby eye is now half-lidded and sunken; her other eye is a pale white, a scar like a starburst surrounding it. If she studies her face closely, she can see the first wrinkles lining the corners of her eyes. 
Beidou rubs her face. The dragon tattooed on her bicep roars at the mirror. She smiles, inspecting the arm sleeve that she’d gotten all those years ago. Ningguang had opted for an elegant fenghuang entwined with lilies. Beidou, being the rebel she was, chose a full sleeve to display the ferocity of a Chinese dragon. Over the years, she’s built upon the original artwork, adding memory upon memory that she wished to remember, and before she knew it she was sporting tattoos on both arms.
Not that it matters. No amount of ink will bring her back to those halcyon days.
Simple, kinder days, like the one where Ningguang first joined her for lunch where no other kid would; or the one where Beidou told her how her parents died, innocent victims caught in a triad turf war, and Ningguang consoled her the best she could; or the countless ones where they’d sit by the canals of Liyue and talk and laugh and play until the sun set.
On the last of those days, Beidou waited for her at Wanmin Cafe, their usual haunt, with a letter in her hand. She watched the clouds drift by and watched a thousand people pass by. She waited, and waited, until the sun set.
As swiftly as she had stepped into her life, Ningguang vanished from it.
The brunette shakes her head, quickly brushing her teeth and trudging to the kitchen. She opens the cabinets, searching for the hangover cure she always keeps a few bottles of.
Thirteen years. Ningguang abandoned her for thirteen years. Not a word or a message or… anything. Her ruby eye waters even now when she thinks about it. Through a film of tears, she finds the scientific miracle that the Inazumans call Hepalypse. Unscrewing the cap, she downs the bottle.
Thirteen years of silence, in which all Beidou knew was that Ningguang and her family had disappeared overnight. Just another missing persons case, the cops said when Beidou inquired, it happens plenty to many people. They probably left to start a new life.
A new life without me.
She tosses the empty bottle into the bin.
Just as Beidou moved into a new apartment far away from their old Qingce haunts, ready to start afresh — Ningguang returned. It wasn’t in the way Beidou had expected. She’d announced her return in cruelty and blood, without a single apology or a passing acknowledgement of what they’d shared in their childhood and teenage years.
Beidou grabs a sachet from another drawer and brews a cup of white tea: Ningguang’s favourite.
Ningguang, who had returned a brutal, cruel shadow; a bloody moon pretending to be the light.
Beidou only wishes they could have talked one last time. She would give nearly anything just to speak with Ningguang again, to understand how the light of her life fell from the sky into the depths of darkness — but the one woman she’s ever loved keeps her at arm’s length, and for good reason.
The tea finished, Beidou stumbles back into her room, falling onto her bed and staring at the ceiling fan again. It spins and spins like ouroboros, forever in stasis, always staying put, never moving forward.
Perhaps in another life, fate will be kinder to them both.
But now, as long as they stand on opposing sides of the battlefield, one of them will have to die.

Hazel Muses about dead peoples romantic/sexual lives and if they were queer or not.
So Like trying to put labels on people isn’t the best. But I’m trying to figure out this whole Sylvia Fine Danny Kaye thing and its like historical curiosity I guess. Like in the time and place they lived you couldn’t really talk about these things and knowledge of them sometimes just wasn’t there.
Like looking at Danny Kaye, traumatized youth who became a funny guy to survive. just pretty normal human stuff. But also learning to dance in like 6 months for a movie, becoming the top non-asian chinese chef, learning to pilot planes, learning to conduct despite not being able to read music, able to replicate accents well enough that native speakers would be really confused they couldn’t understand the utter nonsense he was saying with the accent, etc. This seems to me like he was probably autistic. Not that uh thats what I’m getting at. just a tangent.
So Danny was married to a woman named Sylvia Fine. And this seems to have been primarily a business/friend relationship. They did have a child, but only one. Danny was known to cheat on Sylvia, but I wonder if it was actually cheating, because really from what I can tell Sylvia seemed mostly okay with it. Other than a long affair Danny had with Eve Arden early in their relationship anyway.
So I’m kind of wondering if they were polyam or at least open in their relationships. I’ve seen no mention of affairs on Sylvia’s side. This could be because she was more discrete than Danny, or because she didn’t have them, or just because I have so little info.
From descriptions of her I at first felt, was she a lesbian? But the more I think about this I kinda feel like she was ace. Like she just wasn’t really interested with Sex, but since Danny was she let him go out and have sex. I’m not sure the two even had a strong romantic attachment. I’ve seen stuff that says they didn’t here. And descriptions kind of make me feel like Danny was aromantic/demi romantic. And maybe Sylvia was as well. Like they had a light romantic connection, a strong bond that many people wouldn’t necessarily recognize as romantic.
But I have no way to know really. They’re both dead. I can’t ask them. They’re daughter is still alive, but how aware are most children of their parents sexual/romantic lives?
This could also just be me just not wanting Danny being some Philanderer who was constantly Breaking Sophie’s heart and torturing her over their long marriage.
Anyway I feel like they were a queer couple. And looking at all this old music, you just see so many examples of queer people, that we just pretend weren’t. And because we pretend they weren’t the fact that they were gets lost to history, so that later generations don’t realize they were. So it seems like queer history is empty. It always looks empty.
But we know a lot of these people were queer. I don’t mean like by analyzing and wondering like I’m doing here. We know that one of the Andrews sisters was queer. Her long time partner has talked about it. Billie Holiday was bi apparently. It wasn’t even really a secret at the time. Not to people who knew her at least. But this history is hidden. Sure today it’s not too hard to find if you go to look for it. Details perhaps are lacking, but I don’t need to know the names of Billie Holidays various lovers. It’s just so strange that all of this is shoved back and hidden in the depths of a dusty old broom cupboard. Like queer people have always existed. People that you love, whose voices have moved you, whose acting has brought a smile to your face are queer. But you can’t love that part of them? You have to hide it and pretend it doesn’t exist? How can you love queen’s music, and not acknowledge that you love a queer person? You pretend that Freddie Mercury wasn’t bi when you listen to it. Most of you think he was gay, but you know he was queer. But you pretend that he wasn’t when you listen to his music. You hate queer people, oh but that Freddie Mercury you love his music. How? I just don’t understand how you can love someone like that, but hate such an integral part of them.
How are people homophobic, when they love so many homos?

re: you ever think about how fucking low the bar is for Harry Potter fans 
@starfoxfanatic​
Cho chang is a real Chinese name,
It’s literally not and here’s a breakdown.
If you think Kinglsey Shcaklebolt's name is a sing the author ahs racial hatred just because it has "shackle" in it, your paranoid. Likewise combing  names from different asian cultures isn't  sign of race hatred anyway.
Have you ever heard the term
microaggression [/ˌmīkrōəˈɡreSHən/]
a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority.
I’m not saying that JKR’s screaming from the rooftops that poc suck.
I’m saying that she’s put so little effort into the naming and characterization of any non-white characters, that she shows her internalized racism by choosing the most stereotypical (prejudicial) names and traits for poc actually, really, she put no effort into anyone who’s not british and claiming it’s just being clever.
It’s a literal meme to joke about what your JKR-name would be based on your ethnicity.
Muscle mass, etc nothing to do with skin tone and therefore nothing to do with racism.
I legitimately snorted at this.
“Differences in body composition between black and white women have been well established. Black women have more bone and muscle mass, but less fat, as a percentage of body weight, than white women..”[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9395578/]
Numerous jews ahve refuted the claim that she is antisemitic, dismissed claims about the goblins as paranoia/not even meant ot be taken seriously, and pointed out Rowling is and lay AGAINST antisemitism: [1] https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/campaign-against-antisemitism-defends-j-k-rowling-jon-stewart-goblin-claims-1278891/ [2] https://momentmag.com/debunking-the-harry-potter-anti-semitism-myth/
I wonder if you even read the first article... in which they say that the association between goblins and Jewish people is so ingrained into Western thinking that Rowling probably just didn’t even think about it!
Which, once more, leads to my statement that her liberal standings are purely performative. She has a barely passable understanding of everything she totes around for brownie points. She’s an ally when it’s easy and when it’s safe. Which is, honestly, hardly allyship at all.
She has never been as supportive of LGBT community or racial equality or any other positive movement, as much as she has been in her campaign to kill off trans people.
 In the US, there are foot tall spaces between the floors of bathroom stalls and the walls. he would not need to bust down the door.
You never answered: do you HONESTLY believe that if man really wanted to attack or peep on a woman in a bathroom that he’d change his mind if there was a law that specifically says he can’t claim to be a woman and do it?
And why don’t you provide some statistics on how often a trans woman has been caught peeping if it’s clearly such a prevalent, pressing issue? Meanwhile, I’ll counter with dozens of article of cis men simply hiding cameras.
Moreover, by your logic, couldn’t a lesbian be just as dangerous?
And, flipping the situation on its head, who’s to say all this suspicion and paranoia (over a non existent issue!!) isn’t going to lead to TERFs peeping through stall cracks to make sure you don’t have a penis? It’s already led to countless cis women being harassed or even ejected from bathrooms.

US legislation doe snot represent the gender critical feminist movement. Plus a simple DNA test can prove someone's chromosomes not need for an invasive vaginal swab.
“gender critical feminist movement“ funny way to say TERF
Also, are you sure? Are you real sure?
