What are some other supernatural romances that you like and recommend? They can be any media; books, films, tv-shows, anime and manga.

……. So maybe it’s because of my preferences but the romance aspect of a lot of these are subjective or minimal (They’re more plot focused and people just kind of fall in love along the way)

It is impossible to like, do a search on this because a million like YA novels pop up, and like, I’m not even looking for NOTHING BUT ROMANCE, I want a sick plot and ALSO romance

but off the top of my head this is the best I can do

Manga/Anime

Fruits basket: slaps obviously, I should not even have to mention it, textbook pure love and acceptance by the heroine ends up saving the monster boy from despair. Tohru is an incredible protagonist.

Noragami: Suffering heavy, all gods are real, read the manga, the art is beautiful and the anime has a tone problem where they try to make it more comedic like……………….Noragami is not a comedy, it has comedic moments and is very funny, but the story really dark in places. (Also it’s written by a woman so, even the like, token sexy character isn’t that bad fan service wise and also is a character outside of that)

BEASTARS: Uses animal nature as a metaphor for society, we’ve all seen zootopia and Robin Hood, we know how this goes. If you’re a sucker for size difference (and I am, note Sidon and 9 foot tall Vampire lady) you’ll probably get it. Zootopia’s success managed to normalize furries enough that Beastars was able to be made and honesty I’m proud. Season one is on Netflix, but you’re not going to want to watch it in any communal areas because there will be questions and scenes that you will not want to have to explain to your parents or housemates because….it’s spicy.

Frau Faust: like the Ancient Magus Bride but less problematic, can enjoy mostly guilt free

Mugen Spiral: It’s like a two volume manga, I’ll admit I have not read it since I was a teen, so maybe it has not aged gracefully shrugs

(Honorary mention but it’s not a romance)

Girl from the other side: I AM PRAYING THAT THIS WILL NOT BE A ROMANCE AND TURN INTO GROOMING, I JUST WANT THE MONSTER TO BE HER DAD, WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND SHE IS A CHILD. IT DOESN’T EVEN HAVE ROMANCE AS A GENRE SO MY FEARS MAY BE UNWARRANTED I’VE JUST BEEN HURT TOO MANY TIMES BEFORE

Movies

Shape of Water: It’s literally a supernatural romance but also…textbook using the “falling in love with a monster“ as a metaphor for marginalized groups like, it’s set in the 60’s and the villain is a white guy trying to ruin the lives of the good guys; a mute woman, a gay man and a woman of color

:I

It’s very on the nose, and that can be…..a little upsetting, but the film is like……a masterpiece so I would recommend it anyway.

Beauty and the Beast: ………everyone agrees the beast becoming human was a downgrade and I’m not going to say any more on that.

….Venom: ….should not count but I feel like spiritually it SHOULD count……….Venom is so queer coded and yet not queer enough?? I think they are actually in love in one version but not in a lot of adaptations which bites.

Good Omens: I’ve always loved the book, but the miniseries adaptation is SO GOOD. Aziraphale and Crowley are like….queer coded but they are….IN LOVE AND YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE and the miniseries LEANS into that interpretation

Books

Naomi Novik’s novels: Uprooted and Spinning Silver were great although Uprooted didn’t really win me over in the romance department and I prefer Spinning Silver. I love fairytales so I’m always a sucker for fairytale retellings that….are not modernized in the wrong way.

Video games:

Undertale: …….. :I I’m not wrong.

Liar princess and the blind prince: …..I have not played this, so I can’t actually verify if it’s good or add any input…….but it seems like my aesthetic.

Podcasts are so gay:

Magnus Archives: Eldritch horror is scary, but also it’s canonically gay and kind of about how those two things kind of intermingle. Passes the “I listened to a lot of it, but I was still able to sleep peacefully afterward” test. The first….ten episodes rely too heavily on scary music, but they tone it down after a while thank god.

Welcome to night vale: Also gay and surreal horror, same deal but less scary.

The Adventure zone: DnD game by the three Mcleroy brothers and their dad. Started out as just a one off adventure but everyone accidentally got way too invested and it became AMAZING.

There’s this thing that happens in the princess Bride with the line “Hello my name is Anigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die” and it is set up in a way that is funny and a joke…………………….

And then 3/4 of the way through the film…it is not a joke anymore, and it HURTS YOU. That is one of my FAVORITE TROPES IN ANY MEDIA EVER and they fucking DID THAT AND IT HURTS.

If you’re not an artist and your job doesn’t mean that you need to listen to a constant stream of audio media while you work, you can read the graphic novel adaptation, but it won’t hit you the same way I think.

Η Disney έδιωξε τον James Gunn από την Marvel

Αυτό κι αν είναι σοκ. Η Marvel αν και δεν θα είχε συμμετοχή στο San Diego Comic Con με το Cinematic Universe της ενεργά πολύ, βρήκε τρόπο να επισκιάσει τη μέρα. Αν και τον λόγο τον έχει η μαμά Disney.

Σύμφωνα με ρεπορτάζ του Deadline, ο James Gunn, ο σκηνοθέτης των δύο ταινιών Guardians of the Galaxy, είναι παρελθόν λόγω παλιών σχολίων του στα social media που έθιγαν θέματα όπως της παιδοφιλίας και του βιασμού και ήρθαν στο φως αυτές τις μέρες.

Το ρεπορτάζ αναφέρει πως το θέμα το κίνησε από την πλευρά του προέδρου των ΗΠΑ, Donald Trump, καθώς ο δημοφιλής σκηνοθέτης είναι μέγας πολέμιος του. Αλήθεια ή ψέματα, όποιος και να το έκανε, κατάφερε την απομάκρυνσή του.

Τι είχε γράψει ο James Gunn θα αναρωτιέστε τώρα; Ο λογαριασμός του στο twitter έχει απενεργοποιηθεί, αλλά τα γραπτά μένουν.

#1 tweet

“I like when little boys touch me in my silly place.”

Μ΄ αρέσει όταν μικρά αγόρια με αγγίζουν στα ιδιωτικά μου σημεία.

#2 tweet

“The best thing about being raped is when you’re done being raped and it’s like ‘whew this feels great, not being raped!’

Το καλύτερο πράγμα στον βιασμό είναι πως όταν τελειώσει δεν νιώθεις πια βιασμένος.

Τι σκατά James Gunn; Σίγουρα, μπορεί να είναι ένα ιδιότυπο χιούμορ out of contex αλλά και πάλι… το ρεπορτάζ αναφέρει πως είχε κάνει αστεία για το AIDS, τους Δίδυμους Πύργους, και το Ολοκαύτωμα.

Επίσημα δεν είχε υπάρξει μέχρι σήμερα ανακοίνωση σκηνοθέτη για την τρίτη ταινία Guardians Of The Galaxy, αλλά τόσο ο ίδιος ο σκηνοθέτης που μοίραζε tips δεξιά και αριστερά, όσο και εμείς οι υπόλοιποι, υποθέσαμε πως αυτός θα ήταν.

2. It’s not to say I’m better, but I am very, very different than I was a few years ago; today I try to root my work in love and connection and less in anger. My days saying something just because it’s shocking and trying to get a reaction are over.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) 20 Ιουλίου 2018

4. For the record, when I made these shocking jokes, I wasn’t living them out. I know this is a weird statement to make, and seems obvious, but, still, here I am, saying it.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) 20 Ιουλίου 2018

5. Anyway, that’s the completely honest truth: I used to make a lot of offensive jokes. I don’t anymore. I don’t blame my past self for this, but I like myself more and feel like a more full human being and creator today. Love you to you all.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) 20 Ιουλίου 2018

Αυτό επέφερε αλλαγές ακόμα και στην Sony όσον αφορά το Comic Con, αφού είχε προγραμματισμένη εμφάνιση του σκηνοθέτη για να μιλήσει για τη μεταφορά του comic Nameliess.

Οι αντιδράσεις του κόσμου ποίκιλαν:

James Gunn being so unceremoniously dropped from the MCU is gut-wrenching and totally spineless of Disney. Taste in comedy and offence vs intent is a whole other thing, but regardless, to receive such severe punishment now despite the fact it was 10 years ago is just cruel

— Eddie Bowley (@Eddache_) 20 Ιουλίου 2018

So…is Disney’s bad-tweets policy “The past is past, just don’t do it again” or “The past is past unless enough people bring it up”? Because it’s very hard to identify any consistency in the way it handled James Gunn vs. the way it handled Roseanne.

— Mark Harris (@MarkHarrisNYC) 20 Ιουλίου 2018

James Gunn’s tweets were deplorable but if Disney are gonna fire him for horrible things he said ten years ago, are they gonna fire Robert Downey Jr. for all the shit he did back in the day?

— Thomas Broome-Jones (@TBroomey) 20 Ιουλίου 2018

1) James Gunn’s tweets were gross, and he should have deleted them

2) it’s rich that the people who dragged them back up aren’t actually bothered by his remarks in the first place, but just wanted to weaponize the outrage of those who would be

Both of these things can be true.

— Blind Spottington (@alcohollywood) 20 Ιουλίου 2018

I understand that the right and MAGA bros had a huge part in attacking Gunn last night.

But that doesn’t mean shit. James Gunn “joked” about pedophillia, “corrective sex” for lesbians, and rape.

He doesn’t get a pass for attacking Trump or being liberal.

#1yrago A heartwarming story about a comic clerk who helped a "baby gay" teen customer come out through Supergirl comics

Mary (AKA @sapphicgeek) works in an Indiana comic shop, and Saturday, she met a customer, a distraught teen girl, looking for Supergirl.

When Mary asked her about the recent plotline in which Supergirl comes out as gay, the girl broke down in tears, and Mary realized "I'm staring down a crying baby gay. One who was having some big issues." Mary talked the girl through the issues she was confronting, and then ended up treating her to a stack of comics with awesome LGBTQ themes: Batwoman: Elegy (which features Batwoman as an out lesbian); Midnighter (whose hero is also gay); and Gotham Central, the Batverse police procedural comic with many queer characters.

If you can make it through this without misting up (especially the punchline, "I ended up buying the other 3 for her and I make her promise me that in 10 years she'll help another queer kid") you're of sterner stuff than I am.

Grab the tissues: A Halloween PSA about gender nonconformity has all the feels.

A new PSA encouraging kids to dress up as they please for Halloween includes a twist in the final 30 seconds that’s garnering praise.

youtube

Called “My Heroes,” the two-minute video by Landwirth Legacy Productions features a family celebrating Halloween in typical fashion: buying costumes, carving pumpkins, getting excited for the candy in their near future. The kids, a boy and a girl, decide to go as Batman and Wonder Woman, but the parents — especially the dad — seem a bit anxious for some reason. After a successful night of trick-or-treating, both children are tuckered out by the TV, having eaten their fair share of sweets. It’s subtle, but eagle-eyed viewers will notice that the children’s faces haven’t been shown since they both got into costume.

In the final moments of the PSA, as the parents tuck in their kids, it’s revealed that the boy is dressed as Wonder Woman, while the girl is Batman. The PSA ends as the dad — his earlier anxiety now revealed to be that his kids would be treated differently because of their costumes — whispers, “My heroes,” before turning off the light. It’s definitely a tearjerker.

People who’ve watched it are having e m o t i o n s.

The PSA is clearly tugging on the heartstrings of many, and its message is an important one to keep in mind.

Brian Carufe, one of the PSA’s co-writers, said the production team wanted to make something that nudges audiences in the right direction when it comes to breaking gender norms.

“Society is traditionally slow at accepting new status quos, and gender nonconformity is no different,” he writes in an email. “While we made the film knowing it would resonate with the LGBT community, it carries a message that’s universal, namely being comfortable and confident in every life choice regardless of the opinions of others.”

But Alexander Day, the PSA’s executive producer and lead writer, hopes the video will have an especially big impact on the parents and kids who see it.

“This Halloween, little boys and girls all over the world will be unable to dress up as they want because of fear they will be teased [and] bullied, or because of unaccepting parents,” he writes in an email. “This video is for them, and I hope that that child out there sees this and realizes they are our greatest superheroes for being themselves.”

Every kid deserves to celebrate Halloween in a costume they love — whether they’re more of a Batman or a Wonder Woman.
