You guys, I just watched the first episode of a 2004 supernatural horror series that ran for 12 episodes called "Dante's Cove" and I NEED to tell you about it, it's a camp masterpiece.

In the opening 15 minutes, set in the 1840's, a wealthy man is cheating on his soon to be wife with his male valet in an extended softcore sex scene featuring multiple instances of full frontal. His fiance returns unexpectedly and uses her red witch eyes of death powers to kill the valet (who dies one of the most hilarious deaths I've ever seen, writhing on the floor in a blur of bad visual effects, flailing limbs and helicoptering penises), before locking her fiance in the basement and turning him into an old man vampire thing? Anyway, cut to 2004. What follows is the most incredibly awful hour of the worst acting you'll ever see (the entire cast aspires to reach porn level acting), no less than seven extended m/m softcore sex scenes, including our heroic main character receiving a blowjob from his boyfriend in the backseat of a cab while the characters leather daddy driver watches them in the rear view mirror, the most hilarious breakup scene followed by an even more hilarious scene where our hero comes out to his homophobic parents, two extended lesbian sex scenes that come out of absolutely nowhere, a straight male character who's the gayest man you'll ever see, a gay male character who's the straightest man you'll ever see, a cast who are entirely allergic to both human acting and clothes, a blowjob on the beach that gets interrupted because a trapdoor starts talking to our heroic lead, culminating in the wealthy man who was chained in the basement in the 1840's kissing our heroic lead, restoring his youth and beauty before escaping the basement to no doubt wreak havoc on the sleepy beach town of Dante's Cove, all set to the most 2004 soundtrack you can imagine. It's genuinely the worst thing I've ever seen and I'm obsessed, cannot wait to devour the next eleven episodes

#also the writing my god #Was AI a thing in 2004? because no human wrote the dialogue in this show #dante's cove #I'm begging you guys to track this down on the 🏴‍☠️ sites and watch it its AMAZING

A year ago I made this exclusive art for my patreon. And now I can release it to the public. Prints will be available through the etsy!

Pledging $5 or more a month gives you access to EXCLUSIVE art modeled after scenes of TWP inspirations EVERY WEEK!

One of the many inspirations of TWP is Dante's Cove, and this scene with a young Stephen Amell all wet was VERY inspiring. Watching him in season 1 is quite surreal.

There are a lot of things that I love about Dante's Cove, and one of them is definitely that one of the actors went on to be genuinely pretty successful (lead role in a DC show), but if you were shown the first season and asked to guess who in the cast was going to be the breakout star you would absolutely get it wrong, and the right answer would be one of your last choices.

#dante's cove #it's stephen amell #who is giving absolute nothing #while everyone else is having a whale of a time on this cheesy gothic melodrama #and to be clear some of them are genuinely good actors #the guy who played ambrosius was a recurring character on justified #sweet heavens do i love dante's cove

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel that people who say stuff like this are straight up lying? Or is there some important piece of information I'm missing?

It's unbelievable to me that some people would like that non-canon ships like Stucky or any other non-canon ships paved the way for representation in modern media. Unbelievable.

Destiel, maybe, because of how big the fandom is/was but even Supernatural and even Destiel started out small and got popular because of the fandom and the ship(s).

I feel like people who saying they started shipping non-canon couples because their wasn't any LGBT representation in the media at the time aren't being genuine. I say that because before joining Tumblr, I didn't even know shipping non-canon couples was a thing (I had heard of Destiel, but it was more of a concept to me, even though I unironically watched SPN).

I feel that was they mean is that there wasn't any representation in popular shows or maybe they mean they weren't enough main characters. But otherwise there was!!!

These are just the one I can think of on the top of my head, but there are much more and there is en more if you go outside of the US. And these are just the shows.

If we add the movies... well!!!

You want romance with a Happy Ending?

You want Murder Mystery?

You want Drama?

There are so many many more and, yes these weren't blockbusters but it's not "no représentation and Stucky and Destiel were the only options"

Grey's Anatomy started out at the exact same time as Supernatural and now has over a dozen canon LGBT characters and half of them are/were main characters (Callie, Arizona, Amelia, Teddy, Yasuda, Helm)

When I joined Tumblr, I never even for a minute thought shipping was about representation or activism because there were so many shows and movies I knew but they were barely talked about on here.

Not criticizing ships by any means but I feel like people are trying to pretend that shipping is something it isn't.

In my humble opinion, non-canon ships were never about representation. Shipping was just shipping

I wasn't on Tumblr at the time, but I was on Youtube (old school) and to me, the people who were doing edits of the canon ships, in shows and movies were the real heroes.

Some people might say : "but those characters are side characters or weren't in major blockbusters/popular shows".

But fandoms could have decided to make them more popular if they wanted. Because believe it or not, Supernatural was a niche show at the beginning and I don't think it would have been as popular or gotten as many seasons without the shippers. They chose to make the non-canon couple (at the time) popular. So the fans could have done the same with shows that have canon LGBT characters But they didn't, they focused on non-canon couples.

I have no problem with shipping non-canon couples at all, I do it too, but I'm really surprised by people who want to make it seem like it's some kind of activism... It's not.

And I know there wasn't enough representation that's true, but why focus your energy on shows with absolutely no canon LGBT characters and pretend it's activism??

You guys could have had Noah's arc or Hit the Floor renewed and you focused your energy on Marvel characters.

And some people will say they ship Destiel anyway because they want fantasy and paranormal... Well does nobody remember Dante's Cove? Was it a fever dream😂? I admit the writing was bad, but have you seen the writing in Supernatural (I say this as a SPN fan)???

And I know some people will say they ship Marvel characters because they have a bigger audience and there were no canon Queer characters in blockbusters, but I feel like that a lie too because when there were indeed Queer characters in those blockbusters, they were ignored as well. Like in the Eternals.

Fandoms can be so powerful when they want to...they can make or break a movie, so acting like the focus on non canon couples was the only option surprises me.

Shipping is just about shipping. It's a hobby.

Stucky or any non-canon Marvel ship isn't "History", it's just a ship.

Last exemple: Let's take a look at 2 popular couples from the same franchise: 9-1-1 and 911: Lone Star. Only one of the couples in canon, but Can you Guess which one is more popular on Ao3 and on Tumblr ?

The non-canon couple!

Almost 3 Times as much fics for Buddie than TK x Carlos who are an actualcouple and even got married!

Shipping non-canon couples isn't about representation but about finding a story to fantasize about, which isn't bad itself but it's bad when you pretend shipping is something it isn't?

TL:DR: Shipping non-canon couples isn't activism imo.

I would be happy to hear tour thoughts because as I said, I only joined Tumblr later so I don't have all the info.

I love it it's just for the same reasons as before #tk x carlos #shipping is ok imo but we shippers have to be honest about what we are #hit the floor #noah's arc #dante's cove was probably a fever dream😭😭😭 #😂😂😂 #as always I'm open for discussion

One of the many inspirations of TWP is Dante's Cove, one of the first LGBTQ oriented TV show I ever saw. It's not that great of a show, but such potential behind the eye candy. I'm sure the more you read TWP, you'll see the similarities between the two stories.

We have been very lucky in Falmouth since the 17th June - The Falmouth Art Gallery on the Moor has hosted an amazing exhibition:

The Legend of King Arthur: A Pre-Raphaelite Love Story

I have been a fan of Pre-Raphaelite art for years, even going so far as to organise a tour of art galleries across the UK in 2011 to see famous pieces by Millais, Holman-Hunt, Maddox-Brown and Rossetti among others. I was elated when I discovered that this exhibition was occurring so close to home, especially since it ties in my love for Arthurian myth and legend also.

Possibly my favourite Pre-Raphaelite piece is the Scapegoat by Holman-Hunt, which hangs in the Lady Lever Art gallery in Port Sunlight, Liverpool. I smiled in my soul when I saw the above piece by the entrance, a surprisingly small landscape by Holman-Hunt. I was very surprised to discover that he had visited Cornwall at all, let alone painted somewhere I had visited and been familiar with. I enjoy Holman-Hunt's highly detailed, yet somehow simple pieces, with careful attention paid to the minutiae of the rock formations and portrayal of the damp and dry sand on the shore. A lovely piece.

The main draw of the whole exhibition was "The Lady of Shallot" by Waterhouse. I had not seen this piece in the flesh as it were before, but was taken aback by its actual size, I had surmised it was smaller. It certainly draws the attention like no other painting in the room. I sat and sketched this in the gallery and drew the attention of some of the other patrons, one man, a pastel artist in his spare time, called me brave for being able to sit and sketch. This struck me as something I had not thought of before about my character. Does it require bravery to be a creative? To want to capture something you see without regard of the thoughts of others who might watch you do so? I pondered this while I drew, but was inspired to work on something similar to the Lady of Shallot in the future maybe. It really is a remarkable piece.

Speaking of pastels, I was blown away when I closely inspected this piece by Evelyn De Morgan. On first glance, this is a sketch in pastel of a suit of armour, plaing silver/grey in appearance. If you pay close attention to the work, neither grey nor silver are used in the composition! I will leave it to mystery as to what actually makes it up, but rather than ponder the meanings of the work this sketch informed, I was totally taken away by her material use and technique. Something which, as time passes, is deeply informing my thinking.

Last but most certainly not least, I adored being able to see some work by Elizabeth Siddal. Her story is very familiar to me as part of the wider Pre-Raphaelite canon story, but in all my travels to see Pre-Raphaelite work, I had not come across her work in this manner before. Being largely untutored in art before meeting her future husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, she displayed some talent, enough to pique the interest of John Ruskin, renowned enough that I need not explain who he is. I immediately fell in love with the simplicity of these pieces. It made me wonder; does drawing have to be significantly complex or break new ground to be considered worthy of entering the canon of art? Do we have to have a tragic story in order for our work to be considered posthumously? On the whole - why can't we all be remembered for our creations? No matter how simple they may be?

In short, if you are in Falmouth, please stop by this wonderful exhibition and spend as much time as you can soaking in these wonderful pieces and more! You have until 30th September!
