#homosexual subtext

[mrmousetolliver]

Rope (1948) directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Adapted from a play by closeted Gay writer Patrick Hamilton, it was loosely based on the real life murderers Leopold and Loeb, who were thought to have been homosexual. The screenplay was by Gay writer Arthur Laurents. Both John Dall and Farley Granger were Gay. In the play the murderers are explicitly homosexual, and although no mention of this is in the movie it is considered to be fairly obvious to anyone who looks beneath the surface. Arthur Laurents is quoted as saying "I don't think the censors at that time realized this was about gay people. They didn't have a clue what was and what wasn't, that's how it got by."

Ok I’ve been seeing all the homoerotic undertone analysis posts so far and I’ve considered most of them a bit of stretch tbh, I wasn’t feeling the homosexuality to be honest.

But what is this. Jonathan, why do you know this man by his neck and the movement of his back and arms. Do you take every opportunity to stare at him when his back is turned? Do you have a heterosexual explanation for this Jon.

I’ve watched “Brigadoon”, you know why? Because of “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals”, of course. I was a little worried, that it’s going to be a boring old musical, but then I heard: “You’re lost in a fine forest, what else do you want?” – and realized that I was wrong. The plot though is pretty simple: two friends are lost in the forest in Scotland and stumble upon a village which seems to be a few centuries ago, but the people there are pretty friendly and there’s a wedding today. Fortunately, the love interest of the main character isn’t the bride – she’s the bride’s sister. It has so much Scottish aesthetic! I like it all so much – all the bagpipe music, dances, tartan and kilts – so cool! I even have a kilt myself… (Right now, I start thinking if it’s okay since I’m not Scottish.) Moreover, during the song about heather hills, I realized that the word “heather” is probably ruined for me forever, even though I knew it before “Heathers”. Do you know what surprised me? No, not the idea that to make a village happy, you have to make it pass a century every night and lock everybody there, threatening them with unexistence, it’s weird, but it’s the base of the plot, so let’s just go on with it. What was really weird, was that on the website I watched that movie one the tags was “homosexual subtext”. Even I, as a person who sees it everywhere, didn’t see it there at all. The great power of Google let me find out, that the idea is that it’s a movie about two friends, both of whom have some problems with women, and if one of them finds “true love”, the other prefers a glass of ale and a friend to a company of a girl. Well, I guess that’s the point of all those researches about light gayness in old musical movies.

i had this fun early 2000's family comedy spy movie idea in my head where dirk is a super secret international spy who had kids with roxy when they were young (accident). roxy took the twins and now dirk lives with his buddy and spy partner jake out at some super secret hideout in the middle of nowhere. they're planning one of the biggest heists of the century when someone manages to trigger one of the alarms and infiltrate their base and they catch the intruder and it's dirk's 12 year old daughter, rose, who's doing a presentation on her family for school and wants to interview dirk so she can get an A+ for it.

meanwhile at home dave is freaking out because he's been dressing up and pretending to be rose for the past few days but the babysitter their mom hired after heading out on an important business trip is starting to get suspicious about the fact that dave and rose never seem to be in the same room...

yeah. rose would be one of those advanced college reading level genius kids who uses big fancy vocab words and is extremely smart and adjusts speedily in a scary way. she'd tag around dirk and jake in the base for a while as they try to figure out what to do with her and get involved in their heist and try to help out somehow. also there'd probably be some family drama moments between dirk and rose and all that. dave would be wearing one of those gamer boy middleschool tshirts in every scene and playing fake videogames on a xbox. simon pegg would appear at some point.

#rose lalonde #dirk strider #jake english #dave strider #homestuck #bottlehawk art #bottlehawk text #spystuck au #? #it'd be one of those summer blockbuster movies that get churned out for families and kids #there'd also be at least 5 different hour long video essays in the 2020s about the homosexual subtext of 2 men raising a kid together #but in the film they'd just be bros and then maybe one of the actors would be like in a mtv interview #yeah i was playing this character as gay

the unintentionally hilarious side-effect of reading adult books as a preteen pure and ignorant as the stupid snow is that you will spend a number of years going "it seems like these two characters want to...do things to each other? special, married sorts of things? is that.....allowed?"

at the time it will be baffling, but in hindsight it was so, so funny.

#just for some context: I read anne rice before I knew gay people existed. #do you know how immensely funny it is for ''the vampire lestat'' to teach you that maybe two men want to kiss each other #do you know how much FUNNIER that will get with each passing year #especially! each time the author comes out and tells you that NO THEY ABSOLUTELY DON'T WANT TO KISS #anne sweetie I didn't even know gay people existed and still clocked your homosexual subtext. in fifth grade. #give the fuck up.

karolina having antagonistic passive aggressive homoerotic tension with her Swedish clone is sooo real and why I watch succession

#watching succession is like blah blah blah business words and then beating non existent homosexual subtext out of it #karolina novotney #succession

[animentality]

I'll read christian allegory fantasy novels but only if they're so misogynistic that they're accidentally homoerotic.

If women don't exist in your Christian fantasy, then you'd better be waxing lyrical about men who are dedicated to other men.

#its why i can read lotr but not the chronicles of narnia #its christian allegory with no homosexual subtext #pass

ive said this before and im not afraid to say it again but it was a missed opportunity of a lifetime that mobius mentioned loki using seduction as a way to weasel his way out of situations and then they didn’t even show us him doing that to mobius

#the tie adjustment was so close #homosexual subtext you will always be real to me #lokius #gene talks

[beloathedboygirl]
