What your favorite JCS song says about you

Tag your favorite and tell me how I insulted you

Overture - You're the hypeman at the function

Heaven on Their Minds - Judas is your babyboy + you're right this is the best one

What's the Buzz - This song is like crack to your seventies-obsessed brain, and "what's the buzz" is now something you say on the regular

Strange Thing Mystifying - You're a Judas Iscariot believer til the end, you think he did absolutely nothing wrong

Then we are Decided - You think you're super underground and obscure, but in reality you just have a fat crush on 24-year-old Bob Bingham (same)

Everything's Alright - Mommy issues

This Jesus Must Die - The villain song is ALWAYS your favorite

Hosanna - Jesus is your little meow meow and all you want is to see him happy

Simon Zealotes - You just love seeing a guy go batshit crazy + you're a sucker for good choreography

Poor Jerusalem - All you want is to be one of those actors that Jesus touches gently on the forehead

Pilate's Dream - You probably scream every time Pilate's on screen (girly calm down)

The Temple - You probably know a lot about time signatures + Jesus throwing over tables and yelling at everyone is your aesthetic

I Don't Know How to Love Him - You're basic but it's okay because this is a great love ballad + you think Mary is the most interesting character

Damned for all Time/Blood Money - You just really like seeing actors sing incredibly wordy and difficult songs

The Last Supper - You listen to John Denver + Seeing Jesus and Judas fight like a married couple tickles your brain

Gethsemane - If they don't hit that g5, the rendition immediately goes to the bottom of your list

The Arrest - Jesus is your little meow meow and all you want is to see him suffer

Peter's Denial - It's literally just Strange Thing Mystifying again but you like that funky little guitar intro + you ship Mary and Peter

Pilate and Christ - You think the best word to describe Pontius Pilate is "cunty"

King Herod's Song - You're girlypop + you think all movies would be better if they had a flouncy musical number

Could we Start Again, Please? - You're probably really sweet, like, overly nice

Judas's Death - You are a Jesus x Judas truther (respect)

Trial Before Pilate - You will never stop analyzing this scene. Ever.

Superstar - You grew up religious and are now in the alphabet mafia. How the turn tables??

The Crucifixion - You either love suffering or you love polyrhythmic jazz

John Nineteen:Forty-One - You're sensitive af + ALW is your favorite composer

This might be my favorite post I've made so far

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week to "Controversial" Lesbians!

He/Him Lesbians Nonbinary Lesbians Male Lesbians and Lesboys Straightbians and Gaybians Mspec Lesbians AroAce Lesbians

"Controversial" lesbians are amazing and powerful and deserve space in the lesbian community

#hi! hi! #Also reminder that language is constantly evolving and everyone chooses their labels in their own ways #I promise you the explanation of an identity you don’t understand will probably make a lot of sense if you approach them with respect

Being in the history field, and especially living history, is a roller coaster of existential crisis meeting the sublime. I am walking in the steps of the ancestors to honor their memory. I am creating a farcical piece of theater with the thinnest of ties to reality. I am sharing the transcendence of human experience in a tangible way. I am shaking my fist at God for creating people with the inability to learn from the past.

My butch and I are both lesbians. We are, neither of us, men.

But I call him my boyfriend. I call him my boytoy, my boy, sir, Mr., guy. Cause this language makes him happy. It supports his gender and expression, and it makes him happy.

Butches of all flavors and types have been using he/him pronouns and masculine language forever. Butches have been called boy, guy, boyfriend. Butches have used "traditionally masculine" names like Mitch, Ed, Mac, Joe.

Cause guess what?

Language is fake! It's all made up! If it makes you happy, use it! Wanna call yourself "boy," even if you're not a man? Do it! Wanna be called "boyfriend," even if you're not a guy? Go for it!

This poll is for round two of the Hottest Ballyhoo women bracket. Ballyhoo is a queer-noir graphic novel which follows a playwright and her play that goes terribly wrong. More illustrations of both characters are under the cut.

Marjorie Miller

Majorie is an ex-circus performer turned 1950s housewife. She's sickeningly sweet and determined to hold onto the life she's made for herself.

Oretta Adams

Oretta is the playwright whose work causes all the problems in the first place in Ballyhoo. She's a bit reserved but has a lot to say—things that come out in her writing.

These two grew up as best friends so here's a drawing of them hanging out:

Delia Wells

Delia is a reporter for the Tribune and a bit of a menace. She is infamous for pursuing a story, no matter the consequences.

Gina LaRue

Gina is the "it" girl. Fabulous, mysterious, and with a closet of outfits, wigs, and accessories that would put some of the biggest divas to shame, she most certainly stands out in a crowd. She's an actress who might be holding a secret or two—but she can get away with it with eyes like that.

Round two for hottest ballyhoo women is up! And it’s brutal!

This poll is for round two of the Hottest Ballyhoo women bracket. Ballyhoo is a queer-noir graphic novel which follows a playwright and her play that goes terribly wrong. More illustrations of both characters are under the cut.

Wow-e, folks, these are randomly matched up but this one is tough! Not to mention that these two lovely ladies are lovers themselves. Sometimes you have to fight your darling.

Evelyn Gold

She's a stunning beauty. A singer, a charmer. She's the leading woman in her own baby blue band, the house band at lesbian bar "the Lilac." She looks awfully handsome in a tux.

Mei Jiang

Mei is an actress, a drama queen of the highest degree. She can be a bit divisive, but damn, if she isn't having fun and making the most of her life, having a gay old time.

Timothy Chalamet passed away last night after choking on a single frozen unchewed green pea. Family members confirmed his passing in a statement to the media "it's how he liked to eat them"

“Katharine Hepburn liked to shock with her boyish looks, strident voice, breeding, and, when she met people for the first time, her affection for purposely creating a bad impression. Rigid and repressed, the twenty-four year old, freckled-faced Conneticutt Yankee always lived with women, mingled with sewing-circle members, and made Garbo and Katharine Cornell her icons. She was swimming naked in director George Cukor’s pool when she first met Garbo and, in printed versions of the encounter, grabbed a towel, curtsied, and solemnly said, ‘Oh, Miss Garbo, how nice to meet you!’ Hepburn was seen about town with her agent the dashing, successful Leland Hayward, but Hayward’s third wife, Margaret Sullavan, called Kate ‘that dykey bitch.’”
