Two-Face: Yeah I used to be Bruce Wayne's best friend before going into villainy.
Hush: Well, I was Bruce Wayne's best friend before going into villainy FIRST.
Two-Face: Well I betrayed him more than you did.
Hush: Nice try, bitch, I definitely betrayed him more. I've spent my every waking moment thinking about how to exact my revenge against him since I was a child. I got plastic surgery so I could look exactly like him and try to steal his fortune and kill his butler.
Two-Face, flipping a coin to decide whether or not to call Hush a homophobic slur:
Two-Face: Fa-

I know obviously the plan wasn’t to make Mac gay in the early seasons but every time I watch back I think of Mac with internalized homophobia so bad he has convinced himself he was straight. Mac getting called slurs and bullied so relentlessly that he builds an impenetrable persona, one he won’t even let slip when he’s by himself, terrified once he lets it fall he will be too exhausted to keep it up. Mac getting so tired of spending almost two decades of his life pretending to be someone he isn’t that he gets sloppy, Mac who can’t even get himself to have sex with women anymore. I know it wasn’t the intention but they made one of the most accurate portrayals of internalized homophobia I’ve ever seen in media.

Sherlock Holmes (1916) Clips I Don't Have a Heterosexual Explanation For
While this is definitely one of my least favorite Sherlock Holmes movies I've ever seen - not because it's a silent movie, but because the plot is boring, the romance is extremely unconvincing, and I'm not clear if it understands how to be a movie in general - it sure does have some clips that seem to go somewhat against the bland heterosexuality of the movie's premise.
Especially the first clip. I can't even conceive of the thought process behind the first clip. Truly.
So I put them together into a slightly-under-one-and-a-half-minute video. Enjoy!

Twilight Clown Takes Special Edition—Kristen Stewart & the Migratory Slash Fandom
99% sure this is headline bait from Variety, but regardless, the clownery is too tempting to resist, even if it leads to my ultimate destruction. Gasp! Maybe I am queer-coded?
1) Yes, obviously, but also 2) Tell me you only saw the films without telling me you only saw the films.
Because in the books, it’s abundantly clear which of these boys has Bella’s V in a vice hold. And it ain’t the friendly neighborhood werewolf.
The Migratory Slash Fandom Appears
I literally don’t know where to start with this. With the obviously queer-coded characters? Even the dumb anti fandom usually stick to Queer!Alice and Rosalie, and that’s mostly because they hate Edward (and Jacob) with Bella. Their backstories are gay? Only if you believe that writing about trauma is inherently gay, which 😬
Someday I will sit down and make a serious study on this fan tendency to queering het romance even heteros have trouble stomaching (past the obvious resonance of “forbidden love” as a theme). But that day is not today.
Literary Analysis!1!!1!
Because forbidden love trope = queer every time. And I mean every time!!!
Look, Dracula and Carmilla’s queer undertones are more than just the fact that they are Gothic. They literally must have implied queer desire (haven’t read Carmilla, but Dracula at least has the “Leave him! He’s mine!”). There must actually be a current of homoeroticism, symbolic and textual, in the work. If a Gothic novel doesn’t have that, then it’s really not queer (Wuthering Heights would be a prime example). Genres and their conventions are not inherently queer or straight.
