#or but im a cheerleader

[angstydiaz]

can i just say the weird standard people try and hold queer romcoms(and queer media but) in general is so weird

its always "its too juvenile" and "its too wholesome" but then its "this is too sexualised" and apparently queer ppl having sex scenes is automatically "fetishizing". Always "too corny" "too angsty" and dont get me started on people who act like something has to be bad representation just because they didn't like it

"its cringey" it is a fucking romcom bro. like half of the appeal of a romcom is the kinda cringey fun of it all . not your thing? fine go watch something that is,not being the audience for something is fine but god stop acting like one romcom is gonna dismantle the movement for queer rights.

#Since this keeps getting notes pls read:it's not about NOT judging queer media #also but im a cheerleader did not be the campiest lil 90s movie ever FOR SOME OF YOU TO ACT LIKE YOURE BETTER THAN A ROMCOM. #red white and royal blue #crush(2022) #heartstopper #bottoms movie #lgbtq+ #gay #lesbian #lgbtq media #first kill #willow 2022 #yellowjackets #WLW ESPECIALLY #but yeah #posts of mine i like #bottoms 2023 #thai bl

can't stop thinking about cheerleaders in mcr again

the way they've been in so many of their music videos - I'm not okay, teenagers, blood - and photo shoots and represented things like the American dream and the 'popular' crowd and blind conformity and youth and a certain (male gaze-y) kind of femininity

the way you can turn on kerrang and be very likely to see a band of similar genre also using cheerleaders in their music videos but it being 70% up-skirt shots or love interests whereas mcr have never done that

the way mcr never made the cheerleaders or any female characters in their mv's a 'safe' or 'attractive' kind of weird but instead straight up weird allowing them to dance strangely and wear gas masks and be covered in blood and be rejected by getting poked in the eye or even completely ignored actively tarnishing the cheerleader persona

the way gerard way has now dressed up as one, siding with the cheerleaders after being separate from them for so long

as if the cheerleader is no longer just that but also the girl within the uniform, done being used as a symbol of the American dream and the 'popular' crowd and blind conformity and sexualised femininity unwillingly

the 'and so he gets to die a Saint but she will always be a whore' of it all

#am i making sense?? #idk i wrote this all in one go because im crazy about this rn like omg #im sure this has been said in some capacity before as well but i cant shut upppp #btw when i say male gaze-y femininity i dont mean mcr projected that onto them i mean they were aware of this existing and chose the #cheerleaders as a symbol based on that #mcr #my chemical romance #gerard way

Lemony Snicket was canonically a cheerleader and I haven't seen a single person talk about it. The possibilities are delightful- Lemony saying cheesy rhymes in a deadpan voice?? Lemony in a cheerleader outfit in general?? Lemony getting tossed around by others more qualified to be a cheerleader?? Lemony who joined cheerleading simply because Beatrice was in soccer?

#“I will love you no matter how your soccer team performed in the tournament or how many stains I received on my cheerleading uniform” #thats from the “I will love you letter” #from the Beatrice letters #im so obsessed with everything in the Beatrice Letters #lemony snicket cheerleader fanart WHEN #a series of unfortunate events #asoue #atwq #averse #all the wrong questions #lemony snicket #the betrice letters #beatrice and lemony
