Not-So-Butch-Cassidy and the Sonny Kid: Zachariah (1971)

If you’re in the mood for some retro queer subtextual loveliness with an anti-toxic-masculinity message, watch this film trailer and then run and get yourself a copy of Zachariah (1971), starring a very pretty Don Johnson and a very pretty John Rubinstein being very pretty together, on horses. It’s a slasher chick’s wet dream.

Every Taylor Swift song

#I truly truly cannot empathize with anyone in limerence with her in fact it feels betraying. #all of the interesting beautiful art in the world and the only thing you can blow up is another implicitly conservative value white woman? #having to write narratives about her hypothetical dykeishness to feel comfortable with that dissonance? as if that would even absolve her #it’s not that I hate Taylor I just hate this unwillingness to engage with where her worldview has serious limitations and it seeps #throughout her discography. I think loving art comes with being able to recognize where it fails #what politics are present in it. it’s not deep it’s not subtext it’s all just right there

my knight-monk agenda strikes again, but this was less of a 'I read something that made me experience several emotions and a strike of inspiration at once,' and more of a 'wouldn't it be fucked up if the bejeweled skeleton saints came to life and and started. eating people. or something. in revenge. medieval catholic horror, or an older horror of not being buried right. zombies, even. a complete bastardization of holy visuals. zombies.'

it's a far away idea, but I still wanted to play around with font layouts. like, if I DID make it into a full comic: these would be visual vibes, perhaps.

it's also a little bit about the kind of intimacy that these kinds of spaces provide, or in the case of this monk: the heavy trauma of war and the death of your brother, the escape to a secluded monastery, spiritual brotherhood to make up for your dead brother, but your role as a physician keeps pulling you back to this violence you want to escape. physician, heal thyself, only you have a holy calling to serve those in need, so instead: physician, open up your wounds again. saint jude, patron saint of lost causes, give us a fucking hand here, man. amen.

Homosexuality in the Renaissance: Behavior, Identity, and Artistic Expression, James M. Saslow

and this one is about earlier history than the medieval period that this comic is set in, but the monk character is sort of an exploration of earlier themes. a little bit. I like overlapping eras with each other, I've done it before and I'll do it again. this character is an exploration of some other stuff too, but mostly this book was interesting to read

#i almost made him a benedictine monk but then we would've been reaching territory i do not feel like suffering through #generic medieval tag #i had more tags but i started talking politics and honestly if im going to talk politics i think its better to just make a post about it #i dont actually talk politics on tumblr even tho a lot of my work is extremely political in its subtext/text #because i think that tumblr is very annoying for that. its so anglo-american-western centric in its political theory #and i am WELL beyond that. i use twitter for politics because i love suffering lmao but also its like. still better for getting stuff done #komiks tag

subtext is an avenue for plausible deniability to worm its way into your art imo

#liliths mind #this is an opinion #you are allowed to disagree #re: fascists trying to reclaim starship troopers THE SATIRICAL MOVIE for themselves over on twitter #subtext (yes even as blatant as ST THE SATIRICAL MOVIEs subtext) can always be ignored if the viewer doesnt want to see it #im sure a lot of u have had internet fights over 'this character is/isnt gay' that stopped immediately as soon as the gay became canon

still re reading dungeon meshi rn. this page filled me with immense dread

#the way the first things he describes doing as a monster is getting back at people he doesn't like or leaving the village #(subtext people have been reading for years) woah i just discovered something guys #the fact that all of this foreshadowing is SLAM in your face and i never even picked up on it back then #how stupid was i

Nell Jackson is a lesbian.

« Oh but she was married to a man »

Yes, and I’m sure she did it in a very lesbian way, just as she does everything else.

One thing about Andor is the fact that this entire town hates cops so much. Cops come to town and the townspeople immediately start doing everything in their power to harass, annoy, inconvenience and slow them. Both in solidarity for Marva who they love, and just bc they don't want cops in their town.

This show hates cops so much. This show hates the prison industrial system. This show hates fascism and authoritarianism. This show peels back the layers to show you a Normal Day At Work At Fascist Inc. This show has well intentioned cops, bad intentioned cops, and robot cops who don't care either way, and all of them do harm all the time. This show says that cops will endanger people on purpose and make dangerous mistakes. This show says that community and solidarity are the way to stand up to empire.

Cannot believe the mouse company allowed this to happen

#that's not even to get into how good the writing is #how much it trusts its audience #its nuanced characters #its subversion of the Girl Boss trope in Dedra #its subtext #its reliance on good writing and interesting dialogue and good plot rather than explosions to hold our attention #its quiet moments #its kickass lesbians #and have i mentioned its nuanced characters #andor series #andor

they wrote it, shot it, aired it and then were like: just don't read too much into this
