#a secret love

There are, in fact, two main narratives here, and they’re given equal footing. In one, there’s Carson Shaw (Jacobson) and the Rockford Peaches. During tryouts in the first episode, Max Chapman (Chanté Adams) arrives with her best friend Clance (Gbemisola Ikumelo) for support, but they’re promptly turned away because they’re Black. Here, the story becomes bifurcated.

But A League of Their Own doesn’t feel like two separate shows unspooling at once. These narratives are like the offense and the defense, both essential components of the same game. The two storylines often touch, sometimes in more abstract thematic ways, and sometimes more explicitly. The Rockford Peaches don’t let Max in, but A League of Their Own ensures she takes up space in the narrative, her own wins and losses playing out alongside the team’s.

[...]

In addition to acknowledging the racism of the league, A League of Their Own also expands its narrative to include the historical realities of queer players. Thirty years after the original, this story finally gets to be as gay as it should be. Whatever queer subtext pinged for the baby gays of the 80s and 90s moves into bold fucking text here. There are so many queer characters. Almost everyone! Is queer!

Read the entire article, please. You really really wanna read the whole thing. I just wanted to highlight my own needed assurances that Max is a main MAIN character and not a side character. She's the deuteragonist. I'm excited.

Also, I was reminded of A Secret Love. The Netflix documentary about a AAGPBL player and her life partner. Might be worth checking out if you've never seen it while waiting for ALoTO to drop!

"Always I'll Remember This Night."

"It might have been just one more walk beneath the moonlight hue,

But, darling, it meant everything because I walked with you,

It might have been just one more night, a single night of seven,

My darling you were there with me,

'Twas one more night of heaven,

On we sauntered seldom speaking as we passed through Moonlight Lane,

Happiness walked there inside me when you smiled and called my name,

Hours fled like winged moments, hand in hand, we walked alone,

It was one night I shall remember, one more night to call our own,

- written by Pat Henschel for Terry Donahue as seen in the documentary "a secret love" on Netflix

I told a new friend i just watched ALOTO and she thought i was talking about a documentary on netflix called A Secret Love. Just watching it now and so far one of the main couple, Terry Donohue, is from Moose Jaw just like Jess in ALOTO! Id recommend it so far if you want another angle on being queer in the all-american girls league in the 1940’s

Wonderful Tumblr friends: my GSA co-advisor and I are doing a queer historical person of the month and a queer movie of the month on our bulletin board. We’re going to do Maybelle Blair for September, and I was thinking we would do A Secret Love as our movie of the month. What do we think? Would queer high schoolers be interested?

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

#yes i want things to be free like ??? that is not a weird desire #'but but it costs money to keep up' ok and? how is that my problem #the government has plenty of murder dollars they could reallocate a few to make internet services universal if they wanted #also these companies were perfectly capable of supporting themselves before the internet got drowned with ads so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #edit: muting notifs on this post bc new additions have kind of petered out #so no one feel bad about adding something someone else has said‚ it is not bothering me im just trying to keep my #notifs page cleanish lol #also since i saw some people are being redirected to read my tags: firstly hiiiiii this is a special secret message for you:3 #secondly i have learned since making this that the reason they were able to support themselves previously was because #of investors bankrolling everything #and theyre now finally realizing that theyre never going to actually make a profit and arent as willing to invest #however thats just a minor correction and doesnt change my overall point #once again. so many murder dollars #so thats why im just adding it here in the tags rather than making an actual correction #anyways . love yall 💕 #origibberish #bigger gibbers

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know #im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie #or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them #snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow! #but then shes gone…. for a while…… #and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book #that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss #the hunger games #coriolanus snow #tbosas #lucy gray baird #not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration #but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause #like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not. #snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time #he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets #and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets #he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved #but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall #he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

5 Documentaries To Watch This LGBTQ+ History Month

It’s LGBTQ+ History Month in the United States, and so I want to share some of my favorite queer documentaries with you all. Queer people are more likely to have to find their own roots—the majority of us grew up with straight parents and surrounded by straight community. Our queer culture is still a part of us, though, and connecting with older queer people as well as watching movies and reading…
