The It miniseries being forced to have to censor its gay by having Eddie come out as a “virgin” and then having Richie make some repressed little I-grew-up-in-the-50s-and-must-boast-my-heterosexuality comment but still going super hard and:
Having Richie and Eddie almost leave Derry in one car. Together.
Have Richie literally take Eddie’s body out of the sewers (he’s alive-coded, I’ll prove it another time, I’m too tired rn) and Mike say at the end that Richie’s working with some guy “who everyone would say looks a lot like Eddie Kaspbrak.”
Have Sonia Kaspbrak further queer-code Eddie by forcing him “not to shower with the other boys” in case he gets sick. (This part was set in the 50s but the film came out in 1990 so it’s very easy to tie that to AIDS)
Having some “coworker” who seems boyfriend-coded pick angry little spaghetti-head up from Sonia’s to drive him to the train station and then just wait there as it pulls away like a lover watching his partner leave to go to his death
Make Eds the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen in your life. (Okay that’s not really GAY but he’s just so adorable)
Baby ⬆️
And of course, while the five remaining/able losers are down in the sewers as adults having Reddie mirrored with Benverly, the canon couple, in almost every shot.
(With Bill in the front as the leader because his ponytail gives him power I guess. At least he’s not bald like in the book. What the hell was the point of making him bald Stephen King. I don’t even care about bill to begin with, don’t make him worse!)
And then there’s whatever Bill and Mike got going on. Just fruity my boys…
✨ 🍉 🍎 🍌 ✨
Plus a bit of villain queering (with the “kiss me fat boy” scene, it’s Tim Curry, literal Dr. Frank N Furter, they knew what they were doing), which I don’t think I have to explain why that can be harmful.
Also they give Eddie, our main queer-coded blond-haired beauty a very fun fashion sense. He’s got a color palate and some fun sweatervests. He also gets to make fun of Richie’s strange shirt-thing. I wish he got to make fun of the mustache, like, Harry Andersen was great but that mustache was so ugly.
Anyway, goodnight Tumblr. I am deep into my many It-thoughts again.

Do you ever find that the bros' staches make it hard to draw their facial expressions? Unless I'm doing an expression where their mouths are open, I'm not sure what to do. Sometimes you want a wistful or pensive look for example, but if I try and draw a line where their lips should be it interferes with their huge bushy mustaches and somehow looks wrong. But at the same time, making it seem as though they lack a mouth also looks wrong to me.
You have any tips?
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR AN ASK LIKE THIS
Ok ok OK
ahem
Here’s my tutorial on drawing facial expressions with Luigi’s mustache! This also includes mentioning one thing that other artists do that bother me.
Here are some samples of smiling Luigi, because I feel like the smile is the hardest one to show off compared to the other emotions.
I hope you found this useful!

I think we, as a society, failed terribly in addressing Pierre’s Mustache Renaissance. I mean, of course he was handsome before, but damn… right now he’s just… just!!!! Look at him!!!. We need to talk about it more. Let’s go, people.

haru/katara is a weirdly underrated ship imo. like ignoring the fact that he’s only really in one episode, he really is the perfect synthesis of what people want aang to bring to the table and what people want zuko to bring to the table in a relationship with katara.
like aang, he understands what it’s like to be persecuted by the fire nation, and aids her in her revolutionary praxis. they bond over being targeted for their bending and having their families ripped apart by the war. like zuko, he’s a cool older boy with beautiful flowing hair, who loves his mom, who’s angry but sensitive, etc etc. he thinks she’s the coolest, and is inspired by her courage, compassion, and conviction.
plus, he’s neither the avatar nor the firelord, he’s literally just some guy, so she’ll never feel overshadowed in their relationship, like she’s just some trophy to a man instead of a hero and a legend in her own right. haru can be the handsome little purse dog boy toy she always deserved to have, without any external factors getting in the way. not to mention his parents already love her, which is always a nice bonus.
so.........yeah. pretty crazy how powerful a single bad facial hair choice in your teens can be. let this be a lesson to men everywhere.

What if the doctors pulled out your molars and as they pulled them out the nerves underneath them were just hair and the more they pulled them out the more hair there was until your mouth was just full of hair growing out of where your molars were

lol i’m gonna draw gwen looking like a 12 year old skater boy (remembers i don’t want to imply that i made her more masculine because i think she’s trans) who’s very feminine at times (remembers that femininity is subjective and might enforce gender stereotypes for girls) but pretty much a tomboy (doesn’t wanna enforce the stereotype that lesbians are just tomboys who are actually straight) who has a crush on miles (doesn’t want to reduce her to having a crush) (doesn’t wanna make a possible love triangle) (steps outside for some sunlight) ahhh much better. what was i doing
