#Wow Air

So, about LGBT pride planes

Okay, okay, I've talked about liveries. Sort of seems like that might be the thing that I do. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention something else - potentially the most revolutionary move in aviation since the invention of the airline itself.

This...is actual promotional material for a real airline, that flew planes for money, and was ostensibly a company. This is a screenshot from this actual airline’s announcement that their new plane will be registered TF-GAY, made over Snapchat. We live in such an incredibly normal and plausible universe. This was posted by a company which, at the time, filed taxes and had employees. Said employees probably wore suits. They had offices. They were registered with the Icelandic government. They flew airplanes daily and this was their job. They posted this on Snapchat. This was widely covered by news. People discussed this as a massive step forward for LGBT equality. It was posted on Snapchat by a real airline.

TF-GAY was an Airbus A330-300 formerly operated by Icelandic low-cost airline WOW air, given her registration as a shattering gesture of LGBT inclusivity in the same league as Stonewall and Obergefell v Hodges. She was just a regular A330 painted in a regular WOW air livery which happened to be registered as TF-GAY. 

I’ll be honest, I don’t think this is within the scope of this blog to rate, but if it were I would give it an A+. This is such a silly and pathetic gesture that I loop right back over into adoring it. The Snapchat announcement (I forget Snapchat exists, never mind imagine that it might be used by an airline) is so absurd that it may well be the thing that convinces me that I’m actually a Boltzmann brain because this could not possibly be real. I love TF-GAY. I’m very sad WOW air went bankrupt because it means I can never fly on TF-GAY. (She is now stored, having most recently flown for Batik Air with an unremarkable registration, though she was registered TC-LOL in the interim, which feels worth noting.) 

TF-GAY is an LGBT icon to rival whatever the most recent character who casually mentions having a same-gender partner the news is profusely lauding some or other Netflix show for is at the moment. She is sorely missed, along with WOW air’s other hits, like TF-DAD and TF-MOM. But that’s a story for another day. For now, have a lovely TF-DAY and thank you as always for reading.

Theres a Love is in the Air daily where you hand out gifts to random folks in Feralas, including giving the gift of a hug to a Forsaken :)

I hope he knows that he has thousands of people lining up to give him love and I am one of them

Fearne asking after the Wildmother because of Orym is such a quiet but meaningful moment that most of the party likely missed or didn’t quite understand. Fearne is the one who waited with Orym to see what happened to his sword. She knows that he’s received her blessing before. He may not outright worship the Wildmother, but there is a connection, and Fearne wanting to visit the Wildmother for him, to pray on his behalf or ask the Wildmother to watch him for her, is so beyond sweet.

alicent: i just want you to know that i have always treasured our friendship together. we have always been good companions since we were little girls and i want nothing more than to continue this good friendship we have built

rhaenyra laying on the bed next to her completely naked covered in lipstick kiss marks: uh yeah whatever you say

#alicent hightower #rhaenicent #rhaenyra targaryen #house of the dragon #hotd #alicent is so repressed that she would not be able to physically process that she’s a lesbian for like YEARS to where it becomes comical #they would **** every night and sleep in the same room and have adopted kids and alicent would be like #wow what a great friendship we have lmao #basically rhaenyra would come out of the closet with an air horn and alicent remains in the closet facing the wall blair witch style

people who are hyper critical of aang are super fucking weird and we should say so.

#aang #pro aang #avatar #atla #atla aang #avatar the last airbender #it’s just like when he acts like the 12 year old he is people who hate him are like wow he’s really acting like that #like bitch what??? #he’s fucking 12 lmfao #of course he’s immature #but aang grows so damn much over the series and they just turn a blind eye to it #he’s trying to be a child while also grappling with his duties as avatar and his teachings as an air nomad #being told constantly that he has to kill someone despite that going against his teachings #anyway aang is great and yeah there were times he was annoying like any 12 year old can be #but he also matures a lot which is super sad cause of the weight placed upon his shoulders #anyway the people i see who criticize him to the point where it’s just like just say you don’t like him and go are zutara shippers of course #some zutara fans are so fucking demented i swear #and mostly all of them are annoying #even when i watched avatar as a pre teen i didn’t ship zutara
