Batman is a bisexual man and it’s not because he fucks men— it’s because his direct inspiration for being a hero with that specific dark masked gimmick was Zorro. Every bisexual man I know would do some shit like that.

can you imagine if jesus is in season three, though.
aziraphale is placed in charge of the broody teenager, and at first, he's in way over his head. her name is abijah (and she hates it. she hates it so much. "my father is Yahweh," the meaning of it, makes her want to scream), but she goes by abby instead. she's sullen, and sarcastic, and outright mean, because it isn't like heaven actually cares about her. they only care about what she can do for them. how she can die for them.
but then. aziraphale?
he's nothing like the other archangels abby's met. he's kind of a bumbling idiot sometimes, to be completely honest. her sarcasm goes straight over his head, he smiles whenever she says something especially cutting, and he completely disarms her.
"i'm mean to you. to everyone. why don't you just give up? everyone else has."
"you rather remind me of someone i used to know, my dear. i never gave up on them, and i won't give up on you, either."
abby doesn't know what to do.
she doesn't trust it; surely, there's a catch to his kindness. surely, he just wants something from her, just like every other bloody angel in this godforsaken place. but time goes on, and abby watches.
she watches how aziraphale interacts with the lowest ranking angels, like they deserve his respect. she watches him argue with michael and uriel and saraquael and even metatron, tell them in no uncertain terms that he's going to do right by earth and heaven. she even spies a suggestion box on his desk.
abby watches, and she begins to trust.
it's dangerous; this could easily blow up in her face. aziraphale could be biding his time, waiting for her guard to be lowered, just so he can strike. but as she sees him staring forlornly at the constellations of alpha centuri, she realizes rather suddenly that he's lonely. he's hurting.
"who was it?"
"who was who?"
"the person i remind you of. who?"
"...it hardly matters anymore, darling. let's–let's talk about something else."
abby decides right there that she'll smite whoever put that expression on aziraphale's face.
the earth continues to spin. heaven continues to poke and prod her. her Mother continues to be silent.
abby never had parents. not really. contrary to popular belief, Mother has never spoken to her. not directly, at least. but having aziraphale wipe the frustrated tears from her eyes, watching him smile proudly whenever she speaks up for herself, feeling his arms wrap around her tightly when she needs it, abby realizes that maybe, just maybe, this is what a mother is supposed to act like.

good morning, today is the 26th of january and i'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the past and ongoing struggles of australias first nations people, as well as australias continued ignorance regarding those struggles.
i have seen so much hate and ignorance coming from white australians over the past few days, which has been frustrating enough for someone who's not directly affected by it. i think it's easier for me to sympathise, as someone whos people have a similar history, but anyone whos taken even a primary school level history class should be aware of what today represents.
today is a day of mourning for our indigenous people, and it's going to be spent celebrated by white australians who are too ignorant or blatantly racist to consider how that must feel.
the 26th should remain an important day of history, but not as a celebration of australia and rather a day of respect similarly to ANZAC or remberance day.
we should move australia day to a different date - it won't affect anyone but the people it's already hurting.

Back at it again and one thing I want to say following the release of IWTV AMC is that the context surrounding a character’s racial swap in horror is what makes or breaks the whole thing.
Analysis below the cut. 
TW for discussions of racism, violence, and eugenics. 
Light spoilers for IWTV (2022)
Let me explain using an example that doesn’t work. Albert Wesker in the Netflix Resident Evil series. Albert Wesker is a eugenicist. Eugenics is a field framed by white supremecist views and anti-disability beliefs. It feels… Wrong, to race swap him to use those frameworks as is in line with his character without any meaningful effort to address the subject or say anything important about it. It’d be different if the story tackled the idea that hierarchies based in racialized science are often enforced by members of the communities that they harm (that’s how they survive.) through respectability politics and exceptionalism, but Wesker is just? A villain. That’s it. It ends there.
Now let’s use an example that works. Candyman, acted superbly by Tony Todd. He was a white man with red hair in the original short story by Clive Barker. But we don’t care because the recontextualization of his story is constructed in a way that… idk, for lack of better word actually shows an active dedication to what choice is being made, and how it is carried out. Is it racist that a black man is chasing around a white woman and terrorizing her? Yes, at it’s nature because of the history of deaths that followed false accusations during the era of Jim Crow and the Black Codes. However, Candyman is loved by the black community. Why? Because he’s sympathetic, because he’s charming, because his power is given in the wake of something awful and not even remotely uncommon for black people living in his time. Because he’s handsome and debonair and speaks with a voice like honey. There’s this great documentary called Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror that I recommend you check out if you’re interested in seeing the topography of the genre and it’s continued cultural relevance.
Candyman works because of the setting around it: gentrification and hood poverty. How myths and horrors can float around in poverty stricken communities because honestly? What’s one more when you’re facing hunger and state indifference and violence to survive? Helen‘s critical mistake was assuming that Candyman was some mass-delusion to blame squalor on a boogeyman. Like no bitch. The Candyman stories flourish in these places because of the desensitization to horror that living in an environment with them brings. Also, centering Candyman himself: His subsequent backstory and the 2021 entry to the series do so much to lend sympathy to his character. There’s a retroactive reason he’s enamored with Helen, and we see that racist violence and cruelty made him what he is. A painter in love turned something that white people invoked- that’s why he’s Candyman. The projects didn’t name Candyman, the white people who tortured him to death did. We can sympathize with him, we can ask why Helen felt so compelled to interrupt the lives of this community. For what? To be some white savior? To chase a study in intellectualism, knowing she can go home and forget them? She fucked around and found out. Enter Candyman.
So why does it work for Louis?
Well, let’s take a look at his book counterpart.
Being half black I can’t sympathize with book Louis. I don’t give a fuck about what he’s been through. Seriously. He was a slaver. There’s no such thing as a benevolent slave owner, you have human beings as currency and *chattel*. His framing as the hypocritical, but more compassionate and empathetic of the duo is something I can’t buy. That’s not something I can overlook, it takes me out of the enjoyment. I cannot separate that from his character to enjoy him for what he’s supposed to be.
AMC Louis? completely different story. By introducing blackness to his character, you are creating what is supposed to be the ‘monster’ as is the genre’s convention, but not a *monster*. He’s infinitely more compelling, more complex as a well-to-do eldest son of an affluent black family struggling with the racial hierarchy, his sexuality; and the judgment that comes with these two categorical assignments. He’s dealing with the lapse of generational wealth- something that many black people have not had the opportunity to build to the level of glut that white affluent families have. Often all it takes is ONE generation of bad decisions to lose it all because one or in the luckiest cases: two generation’s worth is the most for many who find their footing. Louis can’t be himself. He has to be tough but infinitely patient and well mannered to appeal to his white business partners. He can’t be angry, but he must be rough for fear that he’ll be walked all over. He’s judged for the very thing that keeps his family in their comfort. He’s not free to emotionally engage with art because of what kind of policing results from being a black man AND a queer man. Those two distinctions overlap and create a separate experience that people refuse to really put an understanding to? Like people put a monolith to queerness that has its defaults in white convention. White butches and twinks and bears and hunks. The colloquial y’all don’t have to deal with how your race informs the behaviors that people ascribe to queerness. 
When Louis read his mother’s mind and heard her disgust over the simple act of *getting his nails done* i couldn’t help but think about conversations among the black elders when they see the little boys acting even a little outside their norms. “He’s got a little sugar in the tank”, “you need to snap him out of that, make sure he doesn’t grow up a punk”. Some of that is garden variety homophobia, but so much of it is also how much crueler life is when you’re black and you’re gay. The racial hierarchy exists in the communities it subjugates and it maintains racial norms of what black men are supposed to act like. Louis is bound to that.
That kind of context makes it easier to sympathize with Louis and feel his pain. It lends itself well to his relationship with Lestat and the balance they’re supposed to strike. Lestat, a white man, is able to kill as he does because his whiteness gives him carte Blanche to see himself superior to ‘humans’. Whiteness, the construction, incentivizes putting people into categories of ‘other’ and situating yourself at the top. ‘Humans’ replace ‘blacks’. Of course he doesn’t care that he’s taking human beings out of this world, of course he takes delight in the killing. Vampirism gives him the tools to do what the world (the social stratosphere, the *law*) already encourages and incentivizes white men to do completely unimpeded! People don’t like to talk about it, but like the Vampire genre lends itself a little too well to capitalist greed and colonial wealth hoarding. Louis does not, and has never had access to these tools. Of course he is horrified, of course it is unnatural to him. Of course the transition is difficult! That makes the divide between them so interesting. That’s what makes this change for Louis’ character so good.
Context *matters* if you’re going to reclaim a character in this genre. Race swaps in action and fantasy? 
Nah, you don’t need a reason lmao fuck y’all. Black MJ, Black Ariel, Black Catwoman, Iris West, and Jim Gordon for life idgaf idgaf idgaf. 
Anyways. If your character has a storied history of racist belief or politics, and the change will fundamentally alter the fabric of how the story is carried out then writers have an obligation to accommodate and write carefully around it. Which I think they’ve done here in the series so far. I’m excited to see what happens next.
