It’s “realizing that Will’s struggle in S2 with being infected with a virus that spreads and will kill him quickly (but doctors don’t care) is a metaphor for how gay men were treated during the aids crisis” hours

—right alongside Mike (who comes from a family with a Reagan sign in their front yard + a mom who outwardly supported Margret Thatcher), who sat at his now confirmed gay best friend’s side the entire time he was sick and watched as people were willing to let him die because he was viewed as expendable……and now has an ongoing storyline where

1) his relationship with his girlfriend is falling apart because he doesn’t love her romantically

2) he’s staring longingly and pushing toward the freedom his gay best friend embodies for him, and

3) he cannot bring himself to tell anyone around him something because “what if they don’t like it” + dehumanize him for telling the secret truth he cannot bring himself to externalize, despite now knowing something that scares him about about himself:

(Bonus points for the fact that the first time we see Mike push Will and himself toward a girl is after he watches how people were willing to let his gay best friend (and him, by extension) die should they not confirm to expectations)

#can you tell I am rewatching S2? lmao but!! #he’s gay. he’s gay. HE IS IN THE CLOSET AND TERRIFIED AND FUCKING. GAY #this is not about his feelings for El and never had been #it’s about his DEEP AND UNRELENTING FEAR that he is going to be seen as less than human and potentially killed for his honesty #THE REFUSAL TO TELL THE TRUTH IS A PROTECTION MECHANISM #ROOTED IN WHAT HES SEEN & EXPERIENCED & KNOWS ABOUT HIMSELF AS A GAY MAN #like this boy is having an extended metaphorical existential crisis over being gay. that is the point #it always HAS been. but the depth and context for his struggle requires complex sociological knowledge & people don’t do that anymore lmao #ANYWAY #I’m gonna do a whole proper post on this I promise. I just had to get the thought out somewhere lmao #mike wheeler core #mike wheeler #will byers #stranger things #the me tag #gay mike wheeler

the more I read about contemporary homophobic laws globally the more it becomes apparent that there is basically a 1:1 direct relationship between whether a country was under historic British rule and how many anti-sodomy laws they currently have on the books. like I knew this in a general sense but not the staggering degree to which this was the case. and I know this probably isn’t really shocking especially given how insanely anti-trans the UK is right now but it’s kind of insane to see just how much homophobia is a comprehensively global export of the British

#also not suggesting that it’s a colonial INVENTION like it’s not that the world was a pro-gay utopia pre-European colonisation #but reading a lot of post-colonial scholarship it’s kind of mind-boggling #also a deeply privileged thing to admit I know. my surprise is mostly the degree to which ‘global homophobia is a colonial artefact’ #is like not an exaggerated claim at all basically #One thing that’s frustrating is that a lot of the scholarship I’ve read so far focuses on heterosexuality as the root cause #& not gender. like truly I do not think homophobia as colonial policy makes any sense without gender as the primary distribution mechanism #but anyway. much more reading to do !

He's jumping for joy

Thinking about Lestat seeing Louis’s eating patterns as a waste of his gift/himself while Armand gives Louis food that he literally can not enjoy or digest just so he has something on his stomach

#if i had to give each of louis relationship a theme loustat would be shame and loumand would be enabling #which are both really bad ways of “helping” a partner with an ed #lestats shame and anger tactics only make louis more resentful and less likely to eat #while armand having the little drinks and exotic animals and the human food dont actually deal with louis problem head on- #cus at the end of the day louis is still not eating enough #and i think they really exemplifies both of their trauma and abandonment issues #both of them came up chronically food insecure #lestat was put into the role of provider at a very early age and stayed in that role until he died/was turned #so for him rejecting what lestat gives is like rejecting lestat cus he doesnt have anything else to make him “useful” #and lestats reaction to rejection is anger and control so he tries to shame and control louis into eating more/human #while armand has been abandoned by literally everyone he loves up till this point so for him its like #ok i can make people dtay if i give them what they want and what louis wants is to not feel bad about eating and so armand does that #but it still doesnt get to the root of the issue which is louis having poor coping mechanisms for his grief and other emotions #like either way you slice it. louis is not meeting his nutritional needs. he eats drinks from one guy eats a fox or some other small animal #when he should be having like two dudes at least #and then he has human food which according to anne rice makes vampires vomit up their whole stomach content so... #louis imma send you to my therapist shes great #interview with the vampire #iwtv #louis de pointe du lac #amc iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #ldpdl #iwtv 2022 #armand iwtv #armand #loumand #loustat #like armand gives louis food he cant eat just so he knows theres something in louis stomach even for a short while

Propaganda under the cut.

Samantha Groves AKA Root:

She's a hacker that starts off as an antagonist and even kidnaps a main character, and tortures some people. She ends up saving the world from an AI takeover/apocalypse. She's a self proclaimed psychopath and worships The Machine, a true AI she considers a god. She's a lesbian and in love with another main character Shaw, who she also kidnaps at some point (but Shaw shoots her so they're even). She is a girlboss because she's an extremely competent hacker and is very good with a gun. But she also has her goofy and useless lesbian moments. She's such an interesting and layered character.

Raphaella la Cognizi:

She’s a scientist! She’s a little unethical times, but it’s all in the name of science, so certainly it must be okay. She sails on a spaceship called the Aurora with a crew of space pirates who sing about tales that they’ve both witnessed and potentially played a part in. She also has an absolutely gorgeous singing voice.

she does all of the science. all of it. yeah some of the stuff she's done is unethical but sometimes that's what's needed for information! also she has wings and can sing really well (listen to the mechanisms im begging). and then she jumped into a black hole when she died which is just a cool as hell way to die honestly. also she's an immortal space pirate and plays the keyboard. or uh. past tense because canonically she's dead. but also canonically the crew exists outside of chronological time which means she's alive in my heart forever <3

HERE IT IS!! after Many moons of chipping away at this OC song comic for my scifi-noir android character Whitney and his bodyguard Bast, it is finally as complete as it shall ever be;; I’m proud of the work I put into this one! Pretty niche, but maybe some folks out there will enjoy UuU

ps: there's also a video for easy viewing!

#song comic #comic #comic art #character illustration #sci fi fantasy #dark art #character art #my scribbles #lyricstuck #an ode to this complicated traumatized morally twisted delusional bastard capitalist #as he becomes that which shaped him into the monster he is #the reality of his existence as an android (marginalized identity in this world) #is at odds with the power-hungry hierarchical worldview he's developed (as a coping mechanism) and is now consumed by #he will Never be one of the self assured entitled elites whose lives/positions he covets #but he can never acknowledge that or the path/ identity he's constructed for himself unravels #at the root of it all #he has vowed Never to be at the mercy of others again #which makes it all the more ironically tragic that the path he sees as granting him the most power is actually just selling himself #to be used as a pawn by the Hijaratha (illuminati-esque organization made up of the same politico-corporate elite #who ruined his life in the first place) #he's so full of contradictions/ hypocrisies and he doesn't even realize it #I find him so fascinating #rotating him in my mind forever #lots of little symbolism things in here #just as a treat for me lol #if you've read down this far- bless you you are now my boon companion #Youtube #whitney

Thinks about arms outstretched and has to lie facedown on the ground for nine hours again

#taz #taz: balance #it’s NARRATIVELY PERFECT #like yes they hella ignored the mechanics to make it happen but on the pure improvisational level #it’s absolutely fucking NUTS to me what they pulled off in that moment #because in that moment ALL THREE OF THEM set aside their personal fears and self-doubts for the sake of their friends #Magnus who always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory #who has just lost even his revenge quest #fights so DESPERATELY HARD to STAY ALIVE and relies on his friends to rescue him #Taako ‘good out here’ Taaco who throws HIS WHOLE SOUL OUT OF HIS BODY #despite being on the verge of death already he leaves himself utterly defenseless to throw himself into danger for magnus’s sake #merle who has ALWAYS doubted his place in the group and is actively losing his powers #doesn’t hesitate and doesn’t question his own competence #instead he plants himself and becomes the root that anchors them and brings them home #and because right after this they reunite with Barry and start getting the reveals about the voidfish #this is functionally the climax and culmination of their arc as a trio #they found each other and learned to trust each other again and they became friends who would do anything for each other #even without their memories!!!! they did that!!!!!!!! #what happens after then gets to build onto and around that relationship #so that the finale gives us the trio whose bond has been deepened and multiplied by stolen century #but they’re still THEM. still the trio we have grown to know and love throughout the whole podcast #bc they have something unshakeable with or without their memories #ARMS OUTSTRETCHED IS A NARRATIVELY PERFECT MOMENT AND I AM NEVER FUCKING OVER IT
