Ok guys im reading the Vile Bodies script, the book that inspired Bright Young Things (2003) and holy moly dude.

Miles just hit Adam with the "It's always been you" line and a kiss as he's about to flee the country. THAT WASN'T IN THE FILM. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME MILES WAS IN LOVE WITH ADAM. THEY LEFT OUT THIS PIECE OF INFO IN THE FILM.

They read the most gut punching, obviously gay pining, they read Miles say to Simon "Nina will never be yours" to which Simon responds "Adam will never be yours", they read how they danced and how Miles made jokes about it being their wedding dance, read where Adam dances with Miles with Agatha in the institution, INCLUDING HIS KISS GOODBYE AND SAYING ABOUT HOW ITS ALWAYS BEEN HIM AND IF HE EVER COMES WITH HIM and they just went nah. No thanks. Not for me. Let's cut that out of the film script.

#i am going insane #HOW CAN A BOOK FROM THE 1920'S BE GAYER THAN THE FILM #admittedly i only read the parts with Miles but still #vile bodies #bright young things #miles maitland

"You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else; only you're unexplained as yet—you've not got your niche in creation. But some day that will come, and meanwhile don't shrink from yourself, but face yourself calmly and bravely. Have courage; do the best you can with your burden. But above all be honourable. Cling to your honour for the sake of those others who share the same burden. For their sakes show the world that people like you and they can be quite as selfless and fine as the rest of mankind. Let your life go to prove this—it would be a really great life—work, Stephen."

— the well of loneliness, radclyffe hall

#sami rambles #this book is so good and slightly lifechanging #an astounding exploration of gender and sexuality in the 1920's written by an actual queer person from the time #i didn't know this book existed until recently and i want to scream about it from the rooftops thanks #radclyffe hall #the well of loneliness #lesbian #queer #wlw #lgbtq #queer quotes

Bro Uncle Rick needs to write us a prequel for Jason Grace, I’m running out of fanfics man. like just imagine, set after TOA, Jason standing in-front of Hades’s council (to like decide where he’s gonna go) and us getting a full backstory FINALLY, allowing him to be a fully developed character bc it’s the least he deserves.

I'm so sorry, I would not be interested in a Jason prequel. Idk maybe if I read the Trials of Apollo? But no, that would not be my first choice of characters to read a prequel on.

I am so sorry, because apparently my followers are all intense Jason Grace stans, but I am not with you 😔

#i am not one of you i'm sorry #he'd be my last choice for a prequel actually #he must've become so much more interesting in trials of apollo guys really #like?? you'd pick him before a hazel's first life in the 1920's book??#come on #jason grace #percy jackson and the olympians #the heroes of olympus #melissa on percy jackson #melissa's asks

i am so sick of all in-community homophobia & transphobia being blamed on teenagers shut the fuck up i was raised by a butch woman do u know the amount of 25-year-olds who have claimed to be elders and told me not to use neos or say the word queer. a lot ok

#the sheer amount of queer teens in shit households. who do not believe they'll live to thirty.#years pass and one thing stays consistent adults are fffucking assholes #like. yeah. even the theater kid who's annoying about the terms twink and bear is still misgendered every minute of every day #like do u know how little we are even encouraged to know... i dont even see ppl having hope for us at this point #somewhere it went from 'queer kids; read queer books!!'#to 'gay babies are all sooo homophobic and they don't even know it'#shut up shut up i hate you. you cannot blame the entire communities problems on someone who's writing an essay on the pearl #shout out to my cw teacher who reccomended me a book; told me the main character was gay in the 1920's and winked at me #triple negative shout out to the 20-smth lesbian who tried making casual conversation w me about how she knows all her bi friends #are either special straight women or lesbians in denial. and i went ahaha. mhm. im gonna go #u guys are losing fucking sight................. anyways #just a rant ignore this
