the "i love weird unpalatable queerness" leaving tumblr users' bodies when they see a polyamorous person

#text #not that polyamory is inherently 'weird' but that it's seen that way outside of polyam spaces and especially outside of queer spaces #discourse

something lgbtq was happening in this movie

#this is like when i watched Some Like It Hot and was jumpscared #disclaimer that this is a 1969 movie and it thus has random bursts of Problematic in the flavor of that era obvi #and the polyam stuff seems to be acceptable by way of 'comedic musical' #and they end up monogamous at the end because one is a Wanderer who cant help but Wander #but still damn it was a lot of fun #it does do that thing where it's an old musical and meanders #it's just like a collection of misadventures #hootin and hollerin and slapstick #and polyandry #vintage movies #western movie #clint eastwood #lee marvin #jean seberg #queer media #<- putting it there because although nothing is outright queer as we'd know it today #it's surprisingly queer for the time #paint your wagon #ok bye again logging back off 👋🏾��️‍🩹

for the electric dreams remake, all i care about is that edgar has the most obnoxious early 2000s internet aesthetic possible. i repeat, THE MOST OBNOXIOUS. 2 billion blinkies, terrible gradients, bad contrast, absolutely unreadable bullshit. if modern tech minimalism comes anywhere near that entire movie i’m going to throw up

#i know it’s inevitable that they’re gonna make him a chatgpt alexa #and it’s gonna have like modern ai commentary #but you gotta understand. the aesthetic of that movie is one of its main draws #if you HAVE to make it modern #make it modern in a different way than the bland apple aesthetic i BEG #sorry to my trekkie followers i am hyperfixating on this movie. you will look at it #electric dreams #electric dreams 1984 #edgar electric dreams #edgar #COUGH ALSO MAKE HIM QUEER. MAKE THE WHOLE MOVIE EXPLICITLY QUEER. #MAKE IT BI AND POLYAM #BUT LETS FACE IT. THEYRE COWARDS #SO IF THEY DONT #AT LEEEAST REMOVE THE MALE GAZEY SHIT AND MAKE THE PLOT BE MORE COHESIVE #and make miles actually face the consequences of his actions #fix the problems the movie already has DONT MAKE NEW ONES #AAUUUUHGHHH #rainspeak

Those Beyond The Wall

sequel/companion to The Space Between Worlds, set a decade later

character-focused sci-fi set in an area divided in two, the rich protected city on one side and everyone else in the post-apocalyptic desert

follows a woman who works under the Emperor in Ashtown, keeping the peace

when mangled bodies start showing up with seemingly no murderer, she’s tasked with finding the cause, and finds out that it’s the result of corruption spanning both cities and multiple worlds

explores oppression and messy revolution, police violence and apartheid

bi & polyamorous MC

#Those Beyond The Wall #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #space between worlds sequel!!! honestly I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it….. In general I enjoyed it and I think it had #a lot of important things to say but also maybe highlighted some weaknesses(?) in both books? #or - I guess just the fact that the sff stuff (which skews a little more magicy here) is kinda small scope relative to its potential #and more there to serve the plot and characters. Which actually maybe is the point. idk- there's def mixed reviews lol #it has a messy unlikable MC (like actually - when half the weak ass reviews are saying the MC is annoying you know they are Actually a #complex character) and some interesting relationship dynamics #it is pretty solidly a sequel - I wouldnt read this without reading TSBW #cara does show up in here& tbh her characterisation felt quite different to me? unsure how I feel about that? but maybe it's the biased POV #also to be clear: polyam MC; not a polyam romance or anything #(there's - kinda a romance? or various feelings floating around and she 'ends up' with someone. feel like i would have liked that to end #more subtley but that's probably my personal taste lol) #man some of the 1 star reviews of this are kinda.....just racist though. can we get some measured critique in here #as I said i am not entirely sure how I feel about it but not quite in a way I can articulate.... idk! i think it's worth the read tho #it's maybe one of those revolutions that feels solved a little too easily in the end - but then also is it solved or is it just that the #narrative has to end at a certain point

I've already shared many of my thoughts on Staged winning two I Talk Telly awards today and the subsequent acceptance speech videos for those awards, but I can't stop thinking about Michael not being in either video.

Michael and David are the heart and soul of Staged. It's not a far reach to say that they are the reason Staged came to exist in the first place, after Simon witnessed their amazing chemistry in GO, and that they are also the reason it continued on for as many seasons as it did. I am in no way attempting to diminish the supporting cast, but there is a reason that Michael and David keep winning the acting-related awards and no one else has.

For them/the show to collect two new awards (Best Comedy and Best Comedy Partnership) and Michael to appear nowhere in either acceptance speech video is very strange at best, and at worst, downright concerning. And it is further not helped by the way in which the videos are presented. It would actually be much less bizarre if we only saw David and Georgia's video, as they did the same exact thing when Michael and David won that same award in 2021 (when Michael was sick with Covid, which was why he wasn't in the video). So it makes sense for them to have gone this particular route:

...And then we have Anna's video. A video that contains cardboard cutouts of David and Georgia in the background, and in which Michael is neither seen nor even mentioned, which seems thoughtless at best given that Michael is the reason Anna was in the show in the first place (and apparently as a very last minute addition).

And for some reason, Lyra is the one speaking while they are both in front of the cutouts and AL is standing there like she's giving away a new car on The Price Is Right:

I'm just honestly at a loss for what the reasoning was behind this. Because all it does is draw more attention to the fact that Michael is missing, that he's been virtually absent from Twitter since the end of October, and that he's been previously reluctant to promote Staged and is apparently equally reluctant to appear in a video with his own girlfriend co-star (as he himself once referred to her, mere moments after saying that he loves David).

Whatever the case may be--if someone from PR has told Michael to continue laying low, if he's busy with rehearsals for the play he's about to star in, or if Michael is fully over promoting Staged in any capacity--none of this seems normal. I'd love to hear what my followers think, of course, so please feel free as always to speak your mind in the comments on this post...

#michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #david tennant #soft scottish hipster gigolo #staged #or 'Brokeback Mount Him' which is what i am referring to Staged as from here on out #georgia tennant #the more i think about it the weirder this all seems #it's giving Michael David and Georgia as a polyam unit #and Anna being completely separate from that in every way #choices #not all of them good #regardless the fandom is certainly worse off without Michael #anna lundberg #thoughts #discourse #gifs by me

"I don't include Zelda in the throuple". Literally why. Literally zero reason to exclude her outside of not being able to admit you dislike her character. Polyamory! but only when it's the palatable polyam of three people y'all are used to in fandom. The concept of a quad is just crazy talk apparently.

Zelda is literally canonically in love with Link, for everyone who only played Tears of the Kingdom:

And we have hints Link reciprocates. So in what universe does it make any sense logically for Link to bone Sidon's wife, but not Zelda.

If you just want just sidlink then just do that. Stop pretending you give a shit about the female characters. "I'm not a misogynistic shipper, I included Yona!" but excluded the woman the entire plot revolves around for being a boring human, apparently.

Also I'm sorry, but it's obvious y'all know jack shit about polyamory when your fics lack polyamory negotiations entirely. It's literally insulting to treat cheating, casual sex and polyamory as all inter-changeable concepts. That is a stereotype. It's obvious that you haven't even done research on the topic. Because if you had, you would know CONSENT and COMMUNICATION is a key part of polyamory. I would know. I have had two boyfriends for several years, who were fully aware of the other's existence and we all talked and hung out. If they hadn't known of the other's existence, and had been okay with it, it would have just been cheating on both of them.

When I click on a fic tagged polyamory, I want polyamory, not casual sex/cheating. You can write those stories obviously, but don't fucking call them poly! Rant over

#sidlinkyona #sidlink #zelink #tears of the kingdom #zelda hot takes #totk #media literacy is truly dead if people think Yona is more interested in Link in a romantic/sexual way than Zelda #girlies using my non-conforming sexuality only to turn it into a new conforming archetype of “couple but three people” #while entirely misunderstanding how it actually works #wait till they hear that there are polyamous people irl who have like 15 partners! and have open communication! oh but four is “too much” #tloz #legend of zelda

You're going to follow through on that false relationship, bearing the weight of your sin?

It won't be a false relationship. This time, we're gonna be a real family

Kazuki and Rei are fucking deeply in love with each other and Buddy Daddies is, in part, about them both not only realizing this but coming to terms with it. There's absolutely nothing you can do to convince me otherwise

#the homoeroticism of it all #there are so many scenes I wanted to include in this post including both of the balcony scenes and Rei's birthday drive home #but I think these three simple screenshots convey what we all know is there #they're just pals being bros and don't know how to speak into being that they somehow bro'd their way into a relationship #headcanon Kazuki being a bisexual polyam boy #and Rei not being remotely interested in anyone until his big gay Oh moment with Kazuki #also fuck I wanna write the shit out of some of the gaps in episode 11 bc damn there's some meaty Kazuki/Rei moments in that #anyway Kazuki/Rei own part of my soul now #buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #kurusu kazuki #suwa rei #rei suwa #kazuki x rei #rei papa #kazuki papa #kazurei

while i absolutely love the empty child/the doctor dances as jack's introduction, its rly funny to me how moffat tried to set it up as "oh rose loves the doctor more than any other guy haha! jealousy plot!" and then literally the next episode RTD came in and was like "anyway. they're all fucking"

[cishetlessfashion]

do any other polyam ppl relate to not experiencing romantic jealousy at all and people thinking you had ulterior motives bc of it? I remember as a teen/early 20's having massive crushes on people, then turning around and telling friends they should ask out the same person, and everyone being super weirded out by it and thinking I'm like, a creep or something? when in actuality yeah it made me sad that I wouldn't be able to date crush if they did (didn't know it was an option), the fact that they were a good couple overrode that, I just love seeing people I'm interested in in healthy happy dynamics, it makes me happy and always has, and that always creeped people out and made them think I was being manipulative in some way, idk it sucked having nobody else seem to understand and having my intentions twisted around and being suspected of playing some kind of long con to 'get' the crush

#I'm a firm believer that polyam is not related to being lgbt+ but yeah the way polyam people navigate the world can be really isolating #I also understand that some people dont experience this and have actively chosen to be polyam despite jealousy #and you're just as polyam as anyone else #this is just an experience I've had as someone who was kind of hardwired into being polyam lol

Jerrod and Sindel enjoy a quiet afternoon speaking of relationships

"So, how was you evening with Sheeva?" Jerrod asked as Sindel and himself sipped tea in the palace gardens, warm summer sunlight resting comfortably on their shoulders as the tea settled blissfully through their bodies as they languidly sipped. Though upon his speaking up, Sindel merely gave him a look over the edge of her tea cup, one brow cocking as she slowly sipped her tea. Jerrod merely grinned broadly, taking his own sip before settling his cup down.

"Prying, are we?" Sindel teased after she had set her own cup down, black painted lips quirking into a little coy smile.

"If it displease my precious queen, I shall gladly drop it," He huffed imperiously, smiling when Sindel snorted with laughter.

"It was quite pleasant," Sindel smirked when her laughter had died down. "But we didn't do anything scandalous. We walked the length of the docks and spoke mostly about work, the idle goings on. She asked about you and sends her well wishes, by the way. All rather boring, truth be told."

"Now don't say that, my love," Jerrod hummed as he took one of the rice crackers from the small serving plate that the servants had placed earlier before leaving them to their talking.

"Why not?" Sindel asked, looking amused but also slightly confused.

"I find it insulting that you would imply anything about my wife-in-law is boring," He said quite seriously, before grinning as Sindel gagged on air and began a round of wild giggling, putting a hand to her mouth to muffle it slightly.

A servant, who seemed to be making a round to check on them, hurried over to inquire if all was well. Sindel, sweetly dusted across the face with a lively flush and unable to hamper her giggling, managed to get across that all was well and quickly sent them on their way. When his blessed queen managed to quiet her giggling, she gave him a playful glare as he smugly nibbled on a cracker.

"Let us not speak of my ventures," She said, refilling their cups with a look of smugness that had Jerrod lifting his own brow. "Did I not see you speaking at length with… oh, who was it? A little over seven heads tall--"

"Sindel," He sputtered, flushing with embarrassment.

"Quite broad and muscular, an air of god-like power, the perpetual smell of thunder and rain," She continued, smiling oh so smugly as Jerrod felt his face flame further and further. She took an unnecessarily long sip of her tea before giving him a coy little smile. "Ah, yes, Lord Raiden. Is that right, dear?"

"Point made, love," Jerrod snorted, thumbing his warm nose before taking a long drink.

Sindel gave him a smile. A smile that told him that she was just teasing, but pleased none-the-less at his flustered state, always stating that he was at his cutest when she managed to get him flustered enough to blush. And he, helpless as ever to most of his wife's like summer after a cold spring smiles, melted underneath the sight of it. What a blessed man that he was, to have such a loving and warm light in his life.

"You know…" Sindel said, after they had fallen into comfortable silence for a time. "When Lord Raiden returns, we should both speak to him."

"Oh?" He asked idly, looking at his cup before looking up at his wife. The playfully dangerous little gleam in her eyes told him exactly what she wanted the two of them to try speaking with Lord Raiden about. "...Oh."
