The internet when Pixar's upcoming movie isn't literally a genre-defining, art house, greatest film ever made: CLICHE! CLICHE! PIXAR HAS LOST IT'S MAGIC! RIP PIXAR!

#pixar #disney #disney pixar #elemental #pixar elemental #elemental pixar #seriously though #the fuck's y'all problem? #we hold Pixar to this impossibly high standard #and then we're planning their funeral when they can't reach it #the thousands of artists must rip their hair out at stuff like this #also getting mad at a piece of media for not having gay characters in it is dumb

still haunted by Hori’s “I’ll do an even better ending”

#LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN #the concept of Deku sharing ofa with Bakugo was already so incredible #and I can’t think of anything beyond that without it sounding like it came right out of a fanfic #(that’s never stopped him before though lmaooo) #and his comment of ‘Bakugo will have a major role’ with them still needing to hold hands… #everything still feels like it’s leading up to that… but he wouldn’t replicate what’s already been done #he specifically chose to give his original ending to Heroes Rising #but he’s still obviously planning on using them and SOMETHING with holding hands #and we know ofa can’t get passed anymore now #so them holding hands could have a different element to it aside from the dire need to save everyone #like they might not even hold hands during the battle it could be at the very end of this story as something they do of their own volition #*strangles u* ​WHICH IS VERY VERY GAY #😮‍💨💓 #idk I’m trying to stay rational but!!!!!!!!!!!! #they’ve been teetering on canon territory for so long #bkdk #dkbk #bakudeku #dekubaku #:’)

Absolutely death gripped clenched trying not to comment on reductive posts on ancient greek homosexual relationships

#It is neither wholly '0mg two gay guys in love!!' and 'I am humiliating and debasing a lower man by making a woman out of him' #There's heavy elements of that in how they conceptualized penetrator vs penetrated but the erastes (lover/protector) and eromenos (beloved) #relationship was significantly more complex than that #Like it is conceptualized as sort of a mentor/mentee relationship and a positive element for an adolescent's development #It was the subject of romantic plays and you get things like people in antiquity in heated debates over who is the #erastes and who is the eromenos between Achilles and Patroclus (to better depict them in plays) #The bottom line is more 'the socially accepted m/m relationships were (what we would now consider) an adult and a child #(or young man) with the age difference being a fundamental element to the dynamic.' #And more broadly being penetrated in sex assigned a 'lower' or 'womanly' role and it would not be conventionally accepted #for an older/more socially powerful man to recieve penetration (which certainly DID happen though) #So absolutely a moment in the history of male homosexuality and not something to just go 'ew ew bad evil ewwie' about but also #not something you want to project modern conceptions of LGBT identity upon #Also we know relatively little about relationships between women in ancient Greece due to lack of sources due to being a #highly patriarchal culture but we can't actually know that they did not involve similar power dynamic #Certainly not to the same extent or in such a well socially defined way (bc they conceptualize sex almost entirely through a lens of #penetration) but I think you should be treating relations between ancient Greek women with the same degree of #historical distance from our lives and identities today. #Ok death grip failed I just typed an entire rant. Fiuck it

we are winning at levels never before thought possible it seems, after making the wrong choice of becoming an ada wong fan & having to subsist off the crumbs of characterization given to me in in-game files, supplemental material & scant lines of dialog it seems capcom is truly going to give me everything i have ever wanted :

probably giving ada the best DLC in the franchise, a meaningful relationship with a character that isn't leon that seems to take precedent in her story over her few chance encounters with leon in RE4R ( i have a feeling her & luis' history gives their dynamic far more meaning than his little rollercoaster ride with leon ), cool sci-fi contacts replacing the glasses she never really used in the original, integrating her grapple hook in her combat when it was sadly only ever used for traversal, actual content specifically designed for her campaign & not just reused arenas from the main game ( some of these are from the original carried over to ada but i think her performing the coolest thing leon does in the original, dodging the lasers, is sick ), finally positioning wesker as an antagonist in ada's story directly rather than him hanging over her like a school headmaster trying to play mindgames .

it's honestly so personally rewarding to see capcom go to such lengths for a character they have otherwise neglected, even in a game like re6 where she carries the emotional core of the story ( in specific her developing relationship with carla as she learns she is more than just some lab-made doppelganger, which was sadly undercooked - like most of the game, despite the explosions )

#* file // : OOC — ( 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐄 . ) #sorry i couldn't join the hype the trailer dropped while i was at work but as always #winning. winning. winning. i am ALWAYS winning #please have her smoke luis' last cigarette or just share a smoke with him as they formulate their plan #though another element i will retain from the original is her relationship with krauser + his involvement with wesker #like it's more fitting for leon to be his killer but i need krauser to fail so hard at retrieving the sample wesker sends ada in #& also the revelation that the village/castle/cult itself is a mask for a military operation run by a scientist using the plaga's control #for world domination #saddler being a zealot just doesn't quite make as much sense once you reach the island & see their military/laboratory equipment #these aren't the designs of a man who is 100% getting high off his own supply #i'll hold off on wesker's characterization since we have very little to go off of but i do always prefer richard waugh's performance #over all others #there is definitely a nice mustache twirling bond villain-type angle that does fit better in the OG's self-aware american action movie #that wouldn't be out of place here since it's rather true to the character #i don't mind his new voice but it's definitely a little more flat #also i miss his gay little turtleneck #i'm happy ada has hers but where is his

[atheocracy]

if i’ve learned anything this year, it’s that the true weakness of super-passionate dead poets society type literature teachers are not the apathetic kids that don’t care about literature, but the kids that bastardize literature, because those kids ARE very passionate about literature, but for none of the right reasons (in terms of being constructive to the class’ understanding of the material). there is no impassioned rant of memorized poetry that can possibly combat the honest to god bitchslap that is “rodion raskolnikov is the bisexual 1800s russian au version of scott pilgrim” or “vladimir and estragon are gay married but perpetually on the brink of divorce”

#literature #crime and punishment #waiting for godot #i’m also into literature for more boring reasons i just have had so much fun in class this year #while i usually would never bring this directly up in class myself i am always thrilled to join the discussion when it starts #shoutout to the girl in ap lit who has interpreted every piece we have covered exclusively as a gay love story and nothing else #my teacher is great and you can tell he’s very passionate and knowledgeable about what he teaches #but he’s just so bamboozled by the way things have gone it cracks me up #you know there’s something to be said about how even though it’s actually getting people into reading #the fandomification of classic literature can actually detract from understanding the thematic depth of the book and hurts critical thinkin #but on the flip side #these takes can be good and should be considered/discused seriously as long as they don’t overtake the core meaning of the material #esp when they can (and often do!) add to the thematic elements of the piece

read through alien space for star rail context and every frame himeko's in you can faintly hear me in the bg trying hard not to think about how much she looks like diluc

#personal stuff #delete later #remembering the reason i got into honkai in the first place was to see what similarities genshin might have inherited #and going oh yeah!! this is fun actually #anyway yeah. woe same hair color bangs and art style be upon ye. the little hair loopy is driving me crazy #don't get me started on the red eye that pepper mint has contrasted to the delusion. good night #the manga itself was really interesting though! i haven't read a whole lot of the honkai manga bc i don't know where to start really #like i've read azure waters bc i love my girl. and second key for gay people lore #but i haven't read any of the others i don't think #also REALLY funny to me who didn't finish apho 2. originally i thought welt's star rail experience was an isekai. #i honest to god thought void archives hit him with a train and he woke up on a different train #while funny. the actual reality has me head in hands. the image of star rail himeko that welt sees and recognizes her.....auuuugh. #and the very person who rescues him is the person he feels like he did wrong by lying to her. agh. #but yeah! i only knew a little bit abt himeko's dad based on what we're told early in game #so i originally speculated that genshin murata's father was the og pyro archon who died and she took his place #but now i'm not entirely sure. #chances are. since we've seen archons inherit the same Ideal along with their element. murata probably fought her predecessor #and took their place #ACTUALLY FUCK ME.

oh, i think the reason i got So into serirei recently is that they push the same buttons in my brain that brotzly does. yeah, gimme a liar with a heart of gold who deeply hates himself but goes out of his way to help people around him, both strangers and those he cares about, and whose relationship with his boyfriend started out as help in a tough situation and grew into working together in an agency focusing on solving paranormal cases; and the boyfriend — a weirdo with supernatural powers who's socially awkward because he had years of his life stolen from him because of them, and who's traumatized by a nefarious organization that wanted to harness that power, who tries his best to build connections and be kind to people, and who's ultimately, unconditionally, unwaveringly in love with the liar-with-the-heart-of-gold, even in the face of having seen him at his absolute worst and lowest. and also they're both 30yo losers.

ywah, it all comes back to brotzly, it always does.

i’m reading a book set in a christian school in a very christian town and it’s not bad but it’s kind of obvious that the author isn’t all that familiar with christian culture

#one of the characters is complaining about bible classes and she's like ''all we talk about is how you shouldn't be gay #''--or have premarital sex'' #like . i hate to break it to you . but christians do ... talk about other things #they don't just spend all their time talking about how much they it when sex is between a married man and woman #they've got an entire 2000+ page book to study dude. #the author also wrote rwrb i think which i've heard mixed opinions about? #i know it was popular on tiktok for a while so that doesn't bode particularly well #this book is alright though. the core cast is good and the mystery element is intriguing #although i'm almost done with it and the way the ending is going so far it feels kind of underwhelming #idk. POINT BEING christians' worlds do not revolve around hating gay people. sorry. #.txt

once upon a time i liked a ship for what it was and then i saw how the fandom treated it and now i have visceral hatred towards it (harsh but not far off)

#leah.txt #normal i swear #it’s like i’m just so tired of seeing it and i think it’s cause a lot of the time people mischaracterise the characters involved so often #when talking about it and i hate it. i’m being vague cause don’t want it showing up anywhere. but like in canon the concept is so good and #so juicy even though i am not really a fan of like enemies/lovers kinda tropes. slash cause it’s more lovers to enemies but were always #technically enemies but real bonds formed on accident and that always runs deep even after the fact etc etc it’s such a good ship in concep #and then you see the fandom and go ah you’ve made it insufferable to me now. it gets reduced to just like the most i mean fandomy shit #it happens so often with me now that it’s like i need to not look at tags ever actually akdjsjsksns #so so vague but the concept of falling in love and fraternising when you shouldn’t and so many elements of you are going to betray this #person when the time comes but you can’t help falling for them and the other side being i shouldn’t be falling for this guy he’s my #superior officer but it’s like no he’s actually not and he’s a mole and he’s going to kill you all off. and then running for him when he #gets injured. that’s so. even after he tells you that you what his plans were. still caring. but like. out of anger and hurt you bruised hi #ego and insulted him and that starts big revenge run of like someone who can’t take criticism or being made to feel lesser… but you have to #hunt him down even if you still hold feelings for him he is everything you stood against and were fighting and now you’re fighting him when #you loved him. irl you know i hate this shit and betrayal and lying and all that you know this i’m just talking in fiction it’s got so many #layers. having to kill the man you once loved because he became everything he was against and he developed delusions and lost his mind. IT #HURTS. then you look at the fandom and it’s like teehee they’re just soooo gay gay homosexual and it’s like. this ship has layers. it’s lik #an onion. but okay. and it’s always just like i mean the gross people come out with the really gross fics with it but like omg it’s such a #good ship in concept with lovers becoming enemies when they shouldn’t have been lovers in the first place because it was a sort of forbidde #setting. the captain and his subordinate. captain who is actually a mole and going to betray these people who he has unintentionally formed #some bonds with. actually learning they are on opposing ends. the man they saw as fair and just and cool is a liar a manipulator a scheming #bastard who is only doing things out of self interest BUT HE GOT FEELINGS. it’s so arghghhhggggg and that’s why the criticism hits deeper #cause it’s someone he cared about and it’s so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #like there’s a reason it’s the most popular ship because i mean they are literally each others narrative foil lmaooo but like the fandom #just somehow makes it weird a lot and i’m 🧍🏼 why guys why #and what i mean by gross people and gross fics is what a lot of people do to villains doing to others even when they aren’t like that. you #guys are just nasty and gross and need to not share things like that <3 #i feel like it's a lot of just fetishising two men being together rather than focusing on their dynamics and characters

sorry to burst the bubble but Clawdeen was never *canonically* confirmed nor was originally conceived as being lesbian.

she is one (for sure), it’s just not canon.

#y’all keep spewing this without double checking sources #it’s misinformation #it’s spectra v style misinfearmation #a gaggle of ghostly gossips all over the place #I get that Clawdeen has become a certified legendary iconic Lesbian icon #as she should #but that’s a collective fanon that while IS supported by Garrett Sander #has never been canonical #y’all give this brand and this man way too much credit #plus it actively ignores the elements of misogynoir at play in Clawdeen not having love interests #not interested in boys done to contrast Frankie and Draculaura #and while it might not have been done with any ill intent #it’s nevertheless not good #to have the only black character in the main trio be the one without any love interests #plus though great and awesome to see Clawdeen Lesbian be so heralded #even by the original creator of the brand #it’s high key a retroactive queer reveal #unlike Valentine or Neighthan and the other characters actively intended to be queer by the designers #Clawdeen wasn’t #it’s like JK Rowling retroactively revealing Dumbledore as gay #not to say Garrett is bad for this or should be canceled or whatever stupidity #but rather that’s it’s an issue that is a lot more nuanced #so stop screeching erasure #because it isn’t that #and y’all be downplaying NB Frankie in consequence #and that’s actually erasure #because that IS canon #it IS amazing representation #it is an UNEQUIVOCAL net good

tbh i dont think you can quite claim religious freedom in the same way when you answer to like a central authority body who sets the doctrine for your belief, especially if youre giving them money. saying ‘oh im a gay christian and i like the bible and i believe the teaching of jesus which i interpret in an inclusive and constructive way’ is not the same as belonging to a specific sect, the leaders of which are violently misogynistic/racist/transphobic/homophobic and so on; and who as an organisation are complicit in covering up sexual abuse, actively disenfranchising women, funding right wing politics, not allowing black people into leadership, etc. its not about what you believe about the afterlife or the clothes you wear, its about the people you support and the negative impact on marginalised people’s lives that you are literally FUNDING. so idrc if you personally have reinterpreted the doctrine in a progressive way that makes everyone equal because if you belong to a group that’s causing harm you should be held accountable for the actions of that group the same as you would for any non-religious group. ok

#can u guess which org this is abt LOL #i think there are other examples though but this is the one i always see people trying to be like #im gay and redacted and proud! #like ok well you shouldnt be #this lowkey applies to c@tholics too though in my mind #when someones earnestly c/tholic and attending church and stuff i do start to be like #Hmmm. #but it is easier to say you like c/tholic ideas or something but arent supporting an org which enables genocide and child abuse #and conversion therapy and forced pgrenancy etc #but you still need to be doing super deep work to entangle the doctrinal elements og misogyny and so on #like if youre being progressive in your beliefs but you eat up everything tht church uses to justify its misogyny its like ok youre still #not quite there yet

If I see just one more person hating on DR UDG for no reason again, I swear I'll become UDG's number 1 defender even though I don't like it as much as the main games. But I still like it damn it!

#Seriously I get that some part of the game can be tedious and kinda disappointing #(I'm looking at all the characters that appear and die 3 seconds later) #But Toko and Komaru's development as characters and as friends (girlfriends even) #is literally the best written DR relationship by a while margin #Like it's not even close... #That last chapter is so so so good!!! #Literally the culmination of all of Toko and Komaru's relationship and the themes of the DR games #It's so gay and dramatic. It's perfect! It made me so happy #Also about all the disturbing elements of it (example. chap 3) #I get that they could've been handled batter and I also wish they did. But like... #How is this any different then say... Mikan's entire deal in 2??? #Honestly how they handled Mikan in 2 made me 10 time more uncomfortable then a mini game that last 30 seconds in one chapter #Like idk DR ain't a game for kids of course it's going to have stuff like this #If it makes you uncomfortable that's ok #But for udg I feel like people greatly exaggerate this things... #For me. the first time I played it. it felt on par with all the other disturbing stuff that happens in the main games #so idk what's the big deal #Like... idk I just wish people talked more of the positives of this game #This game does stuff with characters and set pieces the other games can only dream of! #And even though I don't like it as much as the main games #I still like it a lot! #Toko and Komaru should kiss rn actually #The most canon pairing in this entire series #Also udg is 10000 times better then the anime and I will fist fight anyone who says otherwise #rambles

[so-i-did-this-thing]

How it's going as a trans person in Florida: Planned Parenthood, 26Health, and Spektrum Health have announced they have paused all gender affirming care.

To recap, DeSantis signed several anti-trans bills into law this week. Care is banned for minors, care is all but banned for adults, Don't Say Gay has been extended, children can be kidnapped from affirming parents by non-affirming family, and there is a bathroom bill that subjects trans folks to arrest for using government owned facilities, such as those in courthouses, airports, many stadiums and parks.

The adult effective ban was felt immediately. The main elements are:

signing at every visit an in-person informed consent form created by the state

all care come from physicians instead of nurse practitioners

no telemed for gender-affirming care

Currently, it is unknown if existing HRT prescriptions written by NPs will be honored by pharmacies. I personally know one person who was able to pick up testosterone yesterday, but I have also read many reports of folks being denied. I myself don't have a refill ready for another 10 days and will report back after I try my own pickup.

What's additionally dangerous is those of us, myself included, who get non-HRT prescriptions from our gender clinics now face the uncertainty of continuing of *all* of our medical care. Our health clinics are at risk of shuttering permanently as they lose major income, and many of us will lose STD meds, depression meds, heart meds, etc, etc.

When we say "this will kill us," it goes beyond suicide risk from forced detransition.

"But you can still get HRT from a physician."

So many suck or are outright hostile and the demand outstrips the supply. Before I found my NP-run clinic, one physician just decided to not call in my Rx, another was so shit at reading lab results, he thought I had hepatitis, and the third I had to threaten to kick in the teeth for trying to force too large a speculum in me.

Also, the state-required consent form has not been finalized and distributed yet, so at this point, everything has pretty much ground to a halt.

It was estimated that 80% of trans adults would lose their healthcare because of how many use providers like Planned Parenthood, but the impact seems even greater now.

"You can get your non-gender care elsewhere still."

DeSantis recently signed a bill that allows healthcare professionals to discriminate against trans people.

Sure, we can try to find care elsewhere, but it will be a slow and expensive process, with no guarantees. It took me over 20 years to get my heart condition treated because of transphobic doctors.

What can I do as a trans Floridian?

Stay in communication with your clinic - many are working on getting physicians added to the roster to prescribe HRT. Lawsuits are being filed and it's possible the changes to adult care can be rolled back.

Continue to try to pick up your meds, but begin looking for care elsewhere, though. Inside and outside the state.

Remember that while telemed for gender affirming care has been banned, you can still cross state lines for care. See Erin's map of informed consent clinics.

Many people will turn to DIY, but be sure you are aware of the risks here, especially if on testosterone, which is a controlled substance.

What should I be worried about next as a trans Floridian?

I worry about the following next steps towards genocide:

Banning getting care out of state. This is from the anti-abortion playbook. They will likely start with kids again, but we've seen how quickly adult care gets axed.

Being declared mentally incompetent or a risk in some way. This could be anything from being barred from gun ownership to not being allowed to work for the government.

Being declared a de facto predator. This has already happened with the latest bathroom law (cis people can eject trans people from government owned single-gender facilities, with arrest as a penalty), so watch out for it being applied to privately-owned facilities. Watch for discussions of official lists of trans people.

Gender presentation enforcement laws, essentially banning "cross dressing". Laws that block or rollback documentation changes.

These all have historic precedence and are huge "I'm in danger" red flags.

What can I do as a cis person?

Amplify all this news. Talk frankly about how this is genocide. And donate what you can to trans mutual aid campaigns so people can travel to get healthcare or even leave the state.

Here's some articles to get started on building awareness:

Take care, everyone, of yourself and each other.
