How would you pitch watching Due South to someone who doesn't know it?
THE PREMISE: mountie from the northern reaches of canada goes to chicago to avenge dead dad (also a mountie), gets into buddy-cop shenanigans with a detective. said detective leaves the show in season 3 and gets replaced by another detective, shenanigans continue to ensue. there's also a dog. he's very cute.
THE PITCH: honestly, after being in the spn fandom and having most of popular culture awash with prestige shows (that are not spn, but like spn are typically dark and gritty and like killing characters off too) and having most of the popular media landscape try to cover their collective asses by having an aloof, 'you-can't-make-fun-of-this-because-we're-not-taking-it-seriously-ourselves' air, it was truly refreshing to sit down with a close friend of mine and check out this show.
i'm being completely serious when i say there's a certain je ne sais quoi about this show. is it because it's from the 90s? perhaps. is it because it's canadian? maybe. i wasn't even alive when this show first started airing and i'm not a media analyst. it basically takes the premise of the dudeley do-right cartoon and asks 'okay, but what if that was like, a real guy?' and fucking runs with it to the wildest heights. it's a comedy, but it's also so bizarre in some ways that it makes it a truly unique treat to watch. i love psych and brooklyn 99 for having a comedic procedural aspect, and neither of them are comparable in whatever it is that due south is doing.
there's honestly a lot of heart and soul in the entire show, and it has the ability to shift from just being comedic to having drama, mystery, and moments that pull at your heartstrings. it's a show that you can enjoy on the surface as a fun episodic show with fun characters and fun moments, but it also lends itself quite well to extrapolating on the characters, their motivations, etc. (and by etc i'm also including any shipping you might want to do).
i won't say it's a paragon of DEI, but again, i think it has a level of earnestness which makes any slip-ups it does have something i can kinda view with indulgence, versus shows that are making the same (or worse) mistakes 20+ years after this show already ended. these characters are treated with a level of dignity and respect, and i think overall the characterization is pretty consistent - there are some shifts happening between seasons 1-2 and 3-4, but i feel like it has more to do with budgets, a change in creative team, etc., versus writers not 'getting' certain characters.
there's also a lot of memorable episodes, scenes, bits. i think the latter seasons are more campy (my favorite) and some eps from s1 and 2 make for legitimately some great television. even the more mid episodes have something worthwhile, too. some of my fave moments in no order:
fraser (the mountie) saving and talking to? a rat in a strip club
also him going to a leather club
twice
and meeting a mountie in a latex version of his red serge uniform
using a tarp as a parachute
mafia egg conspiracy
aliens??
due south but make it silence of the lambs a little bit
performance arsonist
lake pirates? ghost ship?
also why are most of the major bad guys here doing some form of environmental crime? get your captain planet on ig, i'm into it
also fellow cops can also be bad guys. acab ig??
sick muscle cars eric kripke himself would've enjoyed. sometimes they get set on fire tho
due south but make it to wong foo thanks for everything
fraser running away from women so he doesn't have to kiss or interact with them
way too much time in closets, in general.
fellas is it gay to ask your new partner of one week maybe to pretend he's a woman so he can decide if he finds you attractive
there are red ships and green ships but no ships like partnerships :)
and to reiterate about the dog: there's a dog who's half wolf and all deaf and fraser can talk to him 'because he (the dog) reads lips'
his dead dad shows up too sometimes
anyway, it was really nice to watch this show for the first time, there are still moment i scream-laugh at because they're just so ridiculous and i'd never catch any other moments like that in any other show. i definitely see why there's still active fans for it thirty years later. there's also some wild shipping fodder here, which is at least partially why there are still fics getting written for these guys today. destiel if the cw weren't cowards etc etc. when i watched the finale, i cried tears of joy because while i'd miss the characters, they got an ending that actually seemed to fit, instead of it being a rush job, which is not unique to spn but, you know.
also you can watch it for free on youtube rn.

Round 1A: The Little Mermaid (1989) vs. The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda:
The Little Mermaid:
“It's an allegory about transitioning under the Benjamin Standards actually.”
“Like. c'mon. the original fairytale its based on was literally written by a closeted gay man as a metaphor for how his love for another man was doomed. also ursula is a drag queen”
“She's trans-human, or something. The Queer experience of wanting to know what else is out there, if there are people like you, like you in your soul, put there. Of wanting to go to a place where you are safe to ask everything you want to ask and be whatever way you want to be.”
“any movie howard ashman writes lyrics for is gonna be pretty gay”
“The trans metaphor is right there, guys!! Plus Ursula being based on a Drag Queen. And most importantly: Howard Ashman.”
“The original story is about Hans Christian Andersen being in love with a man but knowing he could never be with him. And the movie itself is very queer. You could read queerness into Ariel’s fascination with the human world and wanting to be part of that world rather than the one she “belongs” in. Being willing to cut off contact and move far away from your family because you’ll never be accepted by them, especially after a parent violently rejects something important to or about you. Ursula.”
“a lot of ink has been spilled on why the little mermaid is a metaphor for internalised homophobia, with hans christian anderson's own thoughts regarding his bisexuality coming through in the character of the princess (ariel) who wans to be a real woman so she can be with the man she loves. this also lends itself ot trans readings in the mdoern day. of course, the 1989 film was written by howard ashman, himself a gay man, and it is possible to read the alternate, happier ending to this film adaptation as a hopeful retelling for gay people towards the end of the 20th century. its gay”
“Part of Your World??? Ariel literally transitioning from a mermaid to a human. bYE”
“Girl have you Seen or Heard the behind the scenes of Ursula”
“Ursula literally being based on the drag queen Divine”
“The whole plot is a trans allegory imo. Ariel feeling like she’s be happy with “just one day on land” screamsssss trans person wanting to be seen as their gender. Plus she literally got “bottom surgery” lmao. (Tl;dr: I’m trans and it’s my fav so I say so. /j)”
“hans christian anderson wrote the little mermaid as an allegory for being gay. therefore these films are literally gay. disney swept it under the rug but i will not. also that "i can't believe we're both goth and trans" post”
The Great Mouse Detective:
“The protagonist, Basil, and antagonist, Ratigain, are practically bitter exes. Basil literally has a giant photo of his “”””enemy”””” above his fireplace, come on!”
“Vincent Price as Ratigan is so obviously over the top queer coded, but this is one of the few Disney movies where the protagonist, Basil, is also queer coded. It’s more subtle, but all Sherlock Holmes type characters are queer coded. Also the movie ends with Basil asking Dawson, this movie’s Watson, to stay and live with him so yeah”
“As per usual, Basil (Holmes) is V queer. Confirmed bachelor, immediately ready to play happy homes with Watson, Ratigan is Basil's flamboyant ex.”
“i can't explain it but basil the mouse is gay and so is the vincent price rat”
“It’s based on Sherlock Holmes so right away the Basil/Dawson relationship is. Very queer. Also Ratigan is a queer-coded villain.”

I just read your tiny whump academia drabble and 👁👁 boy oh boy do I love little guys being crushed very near to the point of death where they think their bones are bending but I also started thinking hey, i wouldn't continue to trust such a small and wiley pet in a shoebox even if he is a puny nerd, I think the only way to soothe my worries about an escaping little mouse is to make sure it cant move at all shehfh- Or put it in a cute little leash and harness like a domestic rat :3 specifically a retracting leash so you can yank him back with no effort, and it makes them easier to show off for some friends or benefactors~
OKAY UM. OKAY. LET ME GO INTO A WHOLE RANT ABT THE POISONED IVY TINY AU.
tw some nsfw talk, tiny whump, bullying, academia whump, dehumanisation
so idk if u know the context for the story, but bryce is basically blackmailing nate already. nate is being mercilessly bullied and exploited by him in private, while in public nate basically "joined bryce's friend group". bryce has some compromising photos of nate that hes holding over nate's head and basically forcing him to do all of his schoolwork instead of his own to ensure 1. he doesnt have to work much 2. nate cant keep up his own first place on the college leaderboard academically. bc bryce used to be outperformed by him in just this one aspect, and he thought hm... two birds, one stone
so yeah theres already an insane power dynamic going on when nate shrinks. and bryce is like holy fucking shit this is amazing. yes i'll have to go back to doing my own schoolwork but u know what i came to love even more than not working? bullying nate. and then another aspect of it is that..... how do i say this. turns out bryce has a kink for this sort of thing and now hes just horny. theres rly no better way to phrase this. hes not even gay but hes looking at tiny nate and hes suddenly very horny abt the prospect of this helpless little creature who also happens to be his ex academic rival who was already helpless- u get the picture. i wont go into detail but that has consequences. anyway bryce is obsessed w tiny nate. he also has immense cute aggression! hes restraining himself from crushing nate's tiny bones 24/7.
moving on, this also means bryce is incredibly possessive. he's not gonna show it off to anyone, because honestly he already reported nate missing and he doesnt need anyone trying to steal nate or whatever. what he does is he keeps nate in his pencilcase for a while until he can go out and get a little custom glass box with a detachable lid. its very nice <3 it has some padding at the bottom, tissues and cotton and cloth, whatever bryce could find. tiny food and water bowls are separate and never placed in the box, because controlling when and how nate eats and drinks is another aspect he enjoys a lot. the box is shoved in the closet whenever someone comes to visit.
that being said bryce looooooves to mess w nate, looooooves to mess with immobilising him completely w clear tape for example. very fun stuff. loves how exposed and vulnerable nate is. im sure he also makes little DIY harnesses and collars and stuff, basically just imagine him tying some thread or cloth around nate and yanking him around by it. dangling nate from high places it also fun bc he has a fear of heights. the closet is also fun in itself bc nate Also has a fear of the dark! and bugs. which leads bryce to pick up earthworms and shit and lock them in the glass box w nate. hes a menace and he loves tormenting nate so so much.
but at the end of the day bryce doesnt want to kill or seriously harm nate physically. if he threatens a knife or smth, he never rly goes thru w it. maybe the lightest little scrapes. but he mostly stays away from that. hes also afraid nate will one day turn back to normal and he doesnt want a full sized nate running around without an arm or smth. (he does eventually turn back btw but by that point hes so afraid and so conditioned and bryce has told him so much abt how everyone has moved on that hes just like...... ok. i guess i only have u bryce. sure i'll stay in the closet all the time hidden away until you graduate and can take me with you to your cool new house. its ok i'll stay soulless and very obedient as always.)
bryce treats nate like a toy, and nate never gets over it. nate already felt quite dehumanised and humiliated and small and powerless when he was normal sized. going thru that ordeal being tiny and violated and hurt in so many ways just cements it in. he feels like property, he feels like a toy, he feels like he doesnt have a life outside of being bryce's thing. and he rly doesnt. whenever bryce isnt playing w him, hes locked away in a dark place that makes him feel afraid and claustrophobic and honestly as horrible as bryce is, he doesnt have any other sort of life than the hours bryce spends actively teasing and bullying him.

it's time for!!! a ds9 update <3 wow <333 last night we watched "past prologue" and "a man alone."
past prologue:
FIRST OF ALL, THAT LITTLE GAY DOCTOR
idk what i expected but the scene i've seen gifs of was the VERY FIRST ONE right out of the gate. i was so thrilled. for some reason garak is WAY different than i expected. like, he's just as gay, of COURSE, but for some reason i expected him to be like...meaner. and instead he's sooooo friendly and he's also a fucking tailor. julian bashir needs a new fucking suit.
that said, bashir is so slow on the uptake literally all of the time. the suit thing and something in the other episode that i forgot. king how can you be a doctor when you are so stupid...not that i'm complaining. i wouldn't change it for anything. he's so funny.
HILARIOUS that immediately after he has any clandestine conversations w garak he has to IMMEDIATELY run to the "bridge" and tell everybody about it. he gets so excited. he really is hilarious i don't think he's done a single thing so far that wasn't funny. the fact that he was late to this little party also sir get it together
i think this ep had excellent character stuff for kira, who we've only known 5 minutes. it sets up her history and her current position so well, and her conflict of interests is such a real and tangible thing that i felt awful for her. like you knew from the beginning that guy was gonna betray her but OUCH. ending the ep on her getting called a traitor was Such a choice.
i also loved her little scene with odo..."i don't do pretense" alright autism king. and yet he talked her through it and then sort of took the decision out of her hands at the end (which was a very compassionate thing to do) when it became clear what most of her wanted to do...he's like. a really good person actually 🥺
HE TURNED HIMSELF INTO A RAT.......i love getting shocked when random objects turn out to be odo. i love playing this game. also, there was totally a leaky pipe in that scene too. ds9 feels so fucking lived in...you'd never have those on tng.
i also think sisko did a good job threading the needle here, even if kira had to go over his head to get him to see reason. you gotta do what you gotta do but he was mostly compassionate to kira's dilemma and even let her take point when she requested it...AND THEN LOL smiled while threatening her if she ever went over his head again. WHICH IS WHAT KIRA DOES. SMILES WHEN ANGRY. it was really good. i like him so much
it was such a nice touch to add o'brien telling him not to hand that guy over to the cardassians. the implication being that he was in the room when picard was transported back to the enterprise post-torture which like of COURSE he was. i don't think him outlining in detail picard's torture by those guys would have swayed sisko's opinion much because it's picard so it was also smart that he didn't go into particulars. but it does hammer home that what the cardassians do to people is real to the bajorans and to o'brien in a way that it is not (yet?) real to sisko.
KLINGON SISTERS. when they first appeared i was like "holy shit those boob windows" even though i didn't recognize their faces at all. i recognized only the boob windows. then when they said their names i was like I KNEW IT. what a funny little throwback
side bar i also love that they call the station itself ds9. they don't say deep space nine they say ds9 just like we do
a man alone:
holy racially motivated hate crimes, batman
wait sorry actually let me start at the beginning. the first scene with julian getting shot down 1000 times by jadzia (or are we supposed to call her dax...) was really funny. i'm trying to figure out in my mind palace if he's a bi king or a gay-but-closeted king.
also, so much happened in this episode. there was an a plot a b plot AND a c plot but instead of feeling rushed it just felt comfortably chaotic. i was never waiting for one plot to be over so we could get to the one that really mattered, you know? i liked everything that was going on except for the lack of garak i want him to be in every episode so bad
i like everything jadzia had going on this ep...like, people react to her different as a super hot lady than they did as an old man. sisko's talk about fucking the twins was especially hilarious. dude you can still fuck twins with her if you wanted. but the way that like 3 different people had romantic tension with her and she's just out here to do her job AND ALSO is like "i try to rise above all that" so true aroace queen. although i do actually know she has a romantic plotline with worf (who should be fucking riker and deanna) and also that *** ****, which sucks a lot.
i liked keiko getting an actual plotline in this episode. like this place didn't even have a bed for jake when sisko got here, of course she doesn't wanna raise her daughter there, and of course she's bummed out that her field of expertise is fucking useless there, although i agree w her husband that somebody needs to plant some fucking trees. i do disagree with her that it's less safe than the enterprise, though...that ship almost blows up every fucking week. anyway the fact that sisko was ready to give her whatever she needed was very nice. please treat her really niceys. side bar her baby is AODRABLE that child wanted her hands on that little bell soooo bad
speaking of jake!! it was nice to see him again. i like that when he gets in trouble his dad is obviously pissed without it being like a Problem. like he's pissed and jake is in trouble and sisko is gonna lay down the law but it's not a relationship-threatening issue. it was harmless teenage fun.
unfortunately sisko did kinda carry the idiot ball for the rest of this ep...i feel like there were so many choices he could have made to maybe NOT put a giant target on odo's back and it also took him a lot longer than i would have liked to step in once the mob started going, but he did step in, so that's what matters.
i loved odo in this episode!! he's just as angry as kira is in his own way, and his relationship with both her and quark (WOWWW more on that in a sec) feel so lived in, you can feel the years between them...it's also just now apparent to me that he's actually really protective, which, aw. i love also the lore that every 18 hours he has to just exist as goop in a pail. so true king me too
odo also aroace king he simply chooses not to couple. so true. that said whatever he and quark had going on was FUNNN i love a little sexual tension in my star trek. is he aroace or is he gay for that little ferengi. only time will tell.
on a more serious note odo's quarters getting hate crimed really drives home how set apart he is from others...and the mob section was GENUINELY scary. and he's so protective it was a little sad that kira was the only one really standing up for him :(
I NEARLY FORGOT TO ADD: julian bashir straight up growing a guy in a bubbly goopy little vat just to catch a killer? insane. thats a whole ass person who is about to be part of society who exists "just because." imagine the existential issues lmao
TONIGHT: "babel" and "captive pursuit." technically after babel we're supposed to watch "ship in a bottle" from tng, but i've been informed it's a barclay episode which means i will be watching it myself later tonight on 2x speed. it's not the first time we've fucked with the order a little bit lol (i was famously late finishing tas) so i still count it as mostly watching in release order

Round 2 - Match 13
The Owl Gang
(@cliban, @radioactive-dragonlover, @wiz4rdtower, @citruslllad)
Tumblr media
Consisting of Morise Superbia, Somnus and Illuvies
Who are They?
Imagine a sinister alien oligarchy but they're also the most toxic gay friend group you've ever met! Morise (they/them) is a ruthless dictator more interested in evil science than overseeing their outpost. They're a closeted theatre kid dragged into the friend group by virtue of everyone else being a theatre kid - They feel severely annoyed by interacting with the Owl Gang (But secretly will Always commit to the bit). Superbia's malewife (genderneutral). Superbia (she/her) is a bombastic and egotistical woman who does whatever she pleases with little to no regards for others. The kind of woman who calls you "darling" with a tone so sweet it feels like honey dripping from her mouth, but in a bad way. She adores messing with people and manipulating them with her charm and wits. She's surprisingly a tender, kind, and passionate lover, especially when it comes to her partner Morise, who she loves very much. Somnus (she/it) is a drowsy has-been who can only be dragged out of her lair by the promise of novelty. She's motivated solely by boredom, malice, or hunger, and hangs out with her friend Illuvies because of their shared love for doing bits. Depending on the day, her energy levels generally hover somewhere between "cat taking a nap in a sunbeam" and "sloth on half a Valium" Illuvies (he/him) is gay but in a misogynistic way. Tormented a toddler, severed numerous limbs and betrayed both sides of a war multiple times. A mole, a rat and a bitch all in one.
Mafia Dawgz
(@sai-nt)
Tumblr media
Consisting of Prosciutto, Romanesco, Arrosticini and Maritozzi.
Who are They?
theyre a group of italian-food-themed mafia dog (creatures) that do mafia things, such as killing and bonding over trauma. they are tremendously skillful on their own, but they become tremendously incompetent when put in the same room! sure, they each have their deep, dark secrets they keep from the other: one's made a deal with the devil, the other has killed hundreds, and the other? they're actually *not* allergic to peanuts, they just don't like them. but in spite of that, they hate/love/tolerate each other... as a family! a! mafia family! (laugh track) (applause)
The Midnight Crew
(@knight-of-the-thorn, @guardian-instincts-bad, @fractal-quadrilioquy, @deadlock-fractals)
Tumblr media
Consisting of Hiraeth, Versira Nightrise, and Ukki.
Who are They?
A DnD party consisting of Hiraeth, a one year old Tree made of goop who I am sure has commit several sorcerer war crimes at this point but can't be held accountable on account of being a little guy who charms and or confuses and or frightens every single npc, Versira, a Cat with Adhd who likes to see what the fuck is going on over there, has canonically commit warcrimes, Outgoing and outspoken and definitely not a spy, and Ukki, a grumpy botanist with a cool little robot friend trying desperately to corale everyone into saying alive. This team is part of a campaign set in the universe of Guild Wars 2, taking place during one of the first story arcs of the game, except the dm broke it and the party is going to make it worse.

Oddly specific Heathers headcanons!
These just kind of popped into my brain, so I compiled them! They include the Heathers, Ronnie, and J.D.! Enjoy!
Ronnie:
Defo built little mud and stick houses for bugs as a kid.
Owns probably 17 tubes of chapstick because she keeps losing them.
Ex-horse-girl
Had an egyptology phase in 6th grade.
Sharpens her candy canes when she eats them.
Loves those peach gummies.
Hated baths as a kid. The water was either way too hot or way too cold for her. No matter how much it was adjusted.
Basically lives in sweatshirts and sweatpants at home. She likes tank tops in summer. She steals them from J.D. He is not happy about it.
J.D.:
Constantly cracking his bones. Not an intimidation thing, he’s just like that.
Can’t keep the same pencil for more than 3 days. He loses them. Yes he has many deep pockets in his coat. No they don’t have holes. He just doesn’t know where the pencils go.
One of those people who lights his marshmallows on fire until they’re black when making s’mores. Except he will chase people around with the flaming marshmallow.
Doesn’t bite his nails, but he bites his cuticles.
Also sharpens his candy canes when he eats them. He has candy cane sword fights with Ronnie during Christmas.
Only likes the cheap drugstore chocolate. He can’t stand any of the high-end stuff.
He does his own eyebrows. He’s really intense about it. He will pluck and wax them. His favorite part of his face are his brows. Am I saying this solely because I think he has hot eyebrows? Maybe. Shhhhh.
Chandler:
HATES IHOP.
Also an ex-horse-girl.
HATED pink as a kid, but came to terms with it and now loves it.
Kissed her best friend in kindergarten because “that’s what friends do!” It was a sign.
Has a 29,848-step skincare and haircare and nailcare and teethcare and bodycare and eyelashcare routine.
HATES relish.
Only chews pink bubblegum. No other flavors. No other colors.
Has like 5,000,001 pairs of shoes. In fact, she has a whole separate closet for them.
“I’m not gay. I just think women are really really pretty. Wouldn’t it be funny if I kissed a Ronnie? I’m not gay.”
McNamara:
Also also an ex-horse-girl.
Had a pet rat, pet praying mantis, pet tarantula, and pet snake.
Hates plain water.
Prefers butterscotch over cinnamon (iykyk).
She spends ages on her hair, just for it to explode during rain and humidity. She hates bad weather due to this.
Would definitely win Wheel of Fortune.
LOVES mustard. It’s yellow and she thinks it’s tasty.
Duke:
Actually, all of the Heathers were ex-horse-girls.
Chewed on pencil erasers as a kid. Also had those pencil eraser caps.
LOVES glitter gel pens and pretty notes. Y’know those TikToks of people making pretty colorful notes and it pans and the title is “𝐵𝑜𝓌𝑒𝓁 𝒞𝒶𝓃𝒸𝑒𝓇” or something? That’s Duke.
Has tons of fake plants. She may like green, but by God she does not have a green thumb.
“Pspspppsspspspsps”’s at every cat she sees.
Thinks she is amazing at baking. She is not. Everyone encourages her. The cycle continues.

homosexual regret:
Thinking back on why I stayed in the closet/denial for so long even when I was in an extremely liberal social environment in an extremely liberal city/state living with my extremely liberal parents; I can remember one moment in particular I was chatting with someone on a dating site when they mentioned they were interested in actually dating rather than discreet hookups and freaking out about it. This is the behaviour of a good Evangelical father of three living in Waco, TX with his trophy wife making sure they don’t learn what he gets up to in the woods with his hunting buddies, not a weird single nerd with a civil rights lawyer dad attending a school where about half the student body in 2011 seemed to get arrested at occupy protests
Part of the explanation is the obvious. Homophobia in its overt forms, heteronormativity in its ambient forms, lots of other repressed identity issues, my political discomfort and confusion with a lot of the gay rights movement at the time, etc. Plus I was bi, so I could just do straight dating yea?*
But another part is that everybody would have made such a huge fucking deal if I “came out.” Plenty of ppl back before obergefell were capable of being nice if you started dating yr own sex but nobody was capable of being fucking normal about it. The soft bigotry of obsessive fascination. I think in some ways this was worse if you were bi bc “mono gay but I’m just yr ordinary girl/dude” was a Type of Guy ppl had worked on but if you are actively choosing same-sex relationships when you have the option of straight dating instead* you can’t just like, pass it off as a weird little constraint you have to live with
This is why when I came out to parents I did it right after an even bigger personal revelation and just dropped the fact I was looking for a samesex relationship in conversation without giving them the chance to press for details. I fucked up so many decisions during that time but aggressively casual decloseting was one I look back on with pride
~~~~~~~~~~
*ofc in actuality I did not have the option of straight dating, as don’t large swaths of actual straight ppl. The standard costs of doing business in het dating/hookup culture are so obscene (on both sides) that a reasonable person would instantly regard them as dealbreakers, the way most normies immediately discount a potential relationship where you have to move halfway across the globe, throw out yr entire wardrobe, grow yr hair out in one of those padawan rat tails dyed vomit green, and fuck exclusively while wearing a fullbody gorilla suit—all for the sake of like, Some Guy with minimal redeeming qualities beyond compatible bits. But this collective insanity requires a heavy dose of the red pill to perceive

There's something kind of poetic about all of the buildings burning after Tango, the one commonly associated with fire, dying. The canary died and the blazeborn made sure the world burned because of it.

My #1 post of 2022
mmmmm okay i need to rant a little bc i am seeing people shit on scott smajor about pride mcc already. i am so fucking pissed off at all the people who are like “you should be aiming for 100% lgbtq actually 😌” like shut the fuck up. he said 50% MINIMUM. and that’s likely bc of schedule conflicts and shit so every single lgbtq+ streamer who’s ever played mcc might not be available or even sign up. ALSO. STOP FUCKING ASSUMING PEOPLE’S IDENTITIES. there could be streamers participating who might seem “straight” but may actually be queer and just aren’t out yet. like for example, lizzie was in last year’s pride mcc but didn’t come out as bi until after the event. so it’s probably likely that there are people participating who may be out among friends, but not to the community, and that’s fine. people should be able to come out when they’re ready (unlike the fucking fiasco that was basically people forcing dream to come out before he was ready).
also can we take a moment and see how fucking shitty it is that people are being cruel and hateful to a GAY man for organizing a pride event for charity. like take a step back and look at how fucked up that is.
anyway tl;dr- stop fucking complaining about mcc pride and realize there are a lot of logistical things going into this, as well as recognizing that there could be closeted people in the event- or even just allies! shouldn’t the aim be support here? shouldn’t it be nice to see straight people supporting queer people? is it that fucking hard to believe? anyway, support scott smajor or die by my blade

could you tell us more abt sue & rat? i love your drawings of them :D
UM YEAH dont tempt ME with a good time !!!! you can find more posts of them in these tags: #oscar-vargas ; #sue-williams ; #lucy and #miriam who are part of the supporting cast
this guy, sue, belongs to my friend min ( @ iminzemi on twitter and instagram ) art by min
Tumblr media
more below !
its 5am and im off my shits sooo both guys are from texas, usually when i draw rat hes 25ish, sue is usually 32-35 when we draw him (i forget exact age but their time together spans ten years). they start i believe around 1907 or 1909, just as cowboys were facing their extinction. just a warning, rat and sue's relationship is not THE MOST healthy lmao
sue's whole deal was that he was based on the johnny cash song, A Boy Named Sue. like the song, his father named him sue to make his life a living hell and sue left home with a big fight. he's repressed, closeted, insecure, angry, and not afraid to get a lil violent.
rat left texas when he was a teenager because he also did not have a good homelife and foresaw that it was only going to get worse when he began to act on his ~gay urges~. he travelled around the south until he was picked up by a gang at 18 and continued to travel with them, eventually becoming wanted in two states for things like robberies. he was given the nickname "rat" by his outlaw friends because he "looks like a rat", but his real name is Oscar Vargas.
this was the gang leader, sunny. he had a big chip on his shoulder because he and his family are natives and he lost everyone when he was younger, so now he acts and thinks like whatever he does to others is karmic retribution. he and rat had a loose affair when rat was 20-23ish, which was when he left the gang. (pic is years later)
Tumblr media
rat left the gang after sunny took their robberies too far and killed some people.
rat and sue met when sue got on a job on a ranch with min's other characters, huo bao, anselmo, and thomas. rat was flirting with sue, but sue assumed he was being made fun of for having a ladies' name and smashed a glass on rat's face.
un/fortunately rat is a little pathetic and he puts up with a lot, he instigates fights and likes to fight, even does it for money sometimes, and is pretty good at taking a hit. so he wasnt deterred and continued to talk to sue, he and lucy+miriam had sue over for dinner, rat started to make moves which began to make sue very confused and frustrated. he continued to act out physically but rat being the stupid dick he is, was still not deterred, and sue began to have more confusing feelings that he fought with. they engaged in an unofficial but exclusive relationship through all of this
due to the time, they kept things very secret, but rat lives with lucy and miriam, who are also an interracial lesbian couple, so they figure things out and hide the secrets well enough. sue vacillates between his feelings on the relationship, but ultimately loves rat, though he isnt always sure how to express it. rat kinda gets him, but is still a shit-stirrer, so they still wrestle and bicker lol
later down the line, sue is going on longer trips to transport cattle for jobs, straining his relationship with rat, and one time his job goes pretty awfully. he's essentially framed for a crime (undecided if robbery or murder) but it just so happens its actually SUNNY'S crime and he's back in texas. sue has never heard of or met sunny, and no one knows who really did it, so sue spends several months in prison. (i.e. traumatized by the conditions and treatments of known gay men, he keeps his own status secret but still sees what other men face and is scared shitless.) after being released and coming home, sunny eventually ends up in their town and starts some things, making sue a little jealous, revealing rat's complicated past, and sunny informs rat that one of their old outlaw friends has died. sunny leaves with rat's threats.
later down the line, ten years into their relationship, sue's still doing long jobs, lucy and miriam are giving him crap for not being around and not settling etc etc and sue crumbles under the weight of their words, his own insecurities, the stress of hiding a relationship, and the state of being in a gay relationship in the first place.
sue runs away to washington without anything more than a note that he's gone off to work (i believe it was logging?). he plans to make good money and return to texas after the season so he can stay with rat longer, but he has an accident and is bedridden for much longer than he expected to be there. he ends up having to prolong his stay to heal and make the money. he only writes one postcard after months and months of agonizing over it, telling rat in a subtle way that he misses him, and then that he'll come back.
either 9 months or a year later, the night he comes back is in this comic, after rat flips out and then decides he wants sue back in his life and puts off the talk until later. they figure it out and sue is forced to be very honest, and rat tells him that he cant do that again, because rat wont wait. min and i have talked about them having a lavender wedding or perhaps no wedding but holding rings.
thats basically the gist! despite the long term story, we mostly just like to talk shit on them and make up goofy day-to-day scenarios to write. sometimes rat gets shit-faced, sometimes sue loses his temper, sometimes they go riding horses, stuff like that (:

yall liked my tf2 beastars so im going to infodump about scout in this au and you will have to listen
scout is one little fuck. he is ten inches tall, while his mom is 8 inches tall and the rest of his siblings are fucking huge compared to him and his mom. what species they are mixed with is not visible though. most of them are just bigger and fluffier than the rest of their family. being a dumbo rat in a world full of beasts that easily put him in their mouth is hard, but in his words not mine, he is a force of nature
he and his siblings were all born the size of a paperclip. his brothers grew much bigger than him, all of them are around 2 feet tall while scout is, once again, ten inches tall.
once, scout defended his mom from a carnivore trying to devour her, or at least, that's what he thought until he found images of that night in spy's folder titled "pornography starring your mother" that was intentionally put in a spot where scout would find it.
scout drinks energy drinks the size of his entire body. how he does this is beyond me. how his tiny rat bladder survives this is also beyond me. what you will with this information is up to you freaks.
Scout is so deep in the closet that he doesn't believe that he's gay despite the fact he has had sex with sniper multiple times and brushes off by saying "well everyone has had sex with sniper." this isnt true, its only him, the closet is made out of glass.
scout is one of the few people who has seen pyro without their mask, no he will not tell you what they look like don't even ask him. he is all for respecting the wishes of his fellow small animal
speaking of pyro, its common to see scout and pyro fast asleep next to each other after reading comics.
miss pauling in this au is a brandts hedgehog. scout is basically using her as a crutch for his quote on quote "heterosexuality." shes great at her job i just don't pay too much attention to her when i really should.
scout would get into fights in high school and the person he was fighting would say yes, thinking they could just step on him. this would never end well for the person fighting scout, scout would sock people several times his size about once a month.
thank you for reading my ramblings about rat scout, follow for a free iphone 7

Paris?? :v
Tumblr media
Full Name: Paris Tolbert
Gender and Sexuality: male, gay~
Pronouns: he/him
Ethnicity/Species: half human, half shadow
Birthplace and Birthdate: June 14th, he was raised in the Tolbert family bakery in Blumenstrand
Guilty Pleasures: Reading and writing shippy fanfiction, spending all his money on sex toys and commissions of his ocs, and…rose petals? :v…stalking Roulette, just a little bit
Phobias: Doing something that would make roulette genuinely hate him ☹
What They Would Be Famous For: becoming a well-known writer for trope-y romances :v Also if Peter and Mic’s band Roadkill ever takes off, he’d be known as their on-again, off-again bassist  
In the fantasy AU he’s also the Rat King :>…..not exactly good fame to have
What They Would Get Arrested For: trespassing(as all shadows would be), disturbance of the peace(he’s very loud! And starts fights really easily)
OC You Ship Them With: Ahh my beloved Roulette~!!!! <333 (also Marion, in a three-way sorta way)
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Nette. Peter also. The only thing theyd ever agree on is how to take out Paris (they both think hes redic annoying)
But also in the fantasy AU, Nette again because he’s the nutcracker. Actually a lot of people want to murder him!!! Including the Rat Queen tbh :’) poor Parry
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Romance, obviously~
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: when the characters break up in the end D: if you love eachother, why can’t you just communicate?!?!?!
Talents and/or Powers: Typical shadow things: free use of the shadows as transportation. Shapeshifting(for Paris: A bunny or a rat, but most likely, a guitar). When his emotions get intense, his eyes shift from red, to yellow, to green (yes, like a traffic light uwu most shadow eye colors change tho,).
Paris, as kind of a silly character, has the innate ability to make the breeze blow in a flattering way, showering mysterious rose petals(assumed to come from his bag, which is filled with fake rose petals), spring roses and lace and pastels in the background, ect… Probably has his own bg music for his antics
Why Someone Might Love Them: Paris is intense and passionate, and if he locks onto you, you cannot deny that you’re loved by him!!! He feels a lot of the same affection for his friends. Very much ‘I’ll bite them for you’. He’s basically a bishounen knight in shining armor
 Why Someone Might Hate Them: He’s just as intense in his hatred :v Paris doesn’t hold back and gets in fights pretty easily. Even if he were indifferent, he’s very loud and aggressive and pushy. He can be kind of an asshole, even to people he loves. He really grates on Peter with all these things
How They Change: When Paris was young, he was very shy and careful about being in the closet around his family. He really struggled to mask his LGBT+ and shadow identity and autism, pretended to be a Hetero Male Human™
He had an outburst of sorts and decided, “fuck you actually, I’m going to be me to the very most!!!!!!!” He went totally opposite to his family’s ‘keep things on the down-low’ approach to life.
He changes a little more as he grows up more, like realizing you can’t harass someone into loving you :v just mellows out a tiny bit when he realizes its safe and he can relax and he doesn’t have to make everything a huge defiant statement anymore, cuz the people around him love him for who he is <3
Why You Love Them: He’s the reason me and Roulie are together today :> I used Paris to harass him as a joke, and it turned into becoming roleplay partners and eventually….we’re gonne be married :D
Paris, like Vanicho, is my love for roulie compacted into one character uvu its very intense <3
He’s also just fun as fuck to use

Context: i have a group of 3 cousins from one of my mom's siblings, who is rlly protestant and has a habit of blaming me n my siblings for bad habits her kids picked up. Sometimes its warranted, like my little brother somehow convincing my older boy cousin to swear in front of his mom (i still havent figured out how that happened) also my aunt is rlly nosey abt her niblings.
I am also still in the closet to my family so there is no way i influenced this.
So my baby cousin just told me she was going thru a "bi phase" n idk how to feel abt this. On one hand, i sure hope she doesn't get a crisis over this cos she hasnt told her siblings for fear of them ratting her out and im glad she told me n my siblings. On another hand, not sure how to feel abt the word "phase". But on a third hand, haha my aunt has a gay kid n it's not even our fault this time
Wait actually i do wanna ask advice: what do i tell this literal 12 year old?? That it's okay to like girls when it will pit her against most of the family? Lose respect from her parents and what community she knows? I'm really hesitant to give her any reassurance when i don't believe it myself. It's easy to forget on this hellsite but I dont really want her to go thru the "we don't judge but we dont support them (her)" from the entire extended family

Quick gay movies reviews
It's Pride, so I'm watching a gay movie a day to keep the heteros away. I'm going to do this once a week to review the movies I watched. Also going to discuss Heartstopper since I watched it right before Pride started. Hopefully I don't forget any, but I most likely will:
FIre Island
Tumblr media
Really cute. Definitely meant for adults. It's a great adaptation of Pride + Prejudice. I do find it funny that the movie points out that racism, especially Anti-Asian sentiments, in the gay community, and how white men are treated like the prize to win, and the most liked gifsets on here are for the side character who ended up being a rapist. Anyway, Conrad Ricamora is a dreamboat. I also loved the little bit in the middle where the soundtrack was Kim Petras, Perfume Genius, and then Alvvays. Chef's kiss.
Maurice
Tumblr media
Hugh Grant was very pretty in this movie, which is surely why most of the images I've seen of this film are of him, but his character was annoying. I loved that the conflict later on became about Maurice dating someone who was of a lower class than he, rather than the drama about him being gay. I wish the movie had kept the epilogue where the sisters accept Maurice since they realize he's happy. The movie was gorgeous to look at. The directing was beautiful.
Jongens
Tumblr media
I can see why this movie was titled Boys, since they are literally children. I wish we had more background on why the lead was afraid to come out and why he played straight until the end. It felt more of just general culture, but it's never really brought up. It just seemed to be there to add drama for the love story, but I wish we had seen that maybe his brother or his dad was slightly homophobic if we was going to be in the closet. I do realize this was written by a straight woman I believe, and I'll talk more about that in my Beach Rats review. Either way, this movie was fine. I think I'm just too old for this whole closeted kid plot, and I just wish we understood why he was in the closet besides societal pressures when no one seemed to care.
Breaking Fast
Tumblr media
I remembered the lead from Those People, and I liked him better there. I don't know how I felt about these leads being not like other gays. It felt like it painted every other gay character who wasn't the lead and his love interest as shallow, idiotic, and horny. But not these two! They like cooking together and don't drink or have sex! I think they should've skipped the religious debate if they weren't going to expand beyond some people were hurt by Islam so they left the religion, but Islam itself isn't inherently homophobic. I think that people constantly try to have it both ways sometimes, but you can't really act like conservative religious folks in Middle-Eastern countries who throw gay men off buildings aren't actually followers of their religion, much as Christians saying homophobes don't represent their religion or their attempt to make their holy text seem more progressive than it actually is.
Fun Fact: One of the men in the choir during the birthday scene is actually an acquaintance. Hey, David!
Handsome Devil
Tumblr media
I actually really enjoyed this movie, but I felt it was slightly neutered. I didn't care that the leads didn't end up together because I do think it's important that queer people can just be friends. I also don't think the movie ever states if the lead is actually gay or if he just doesn't care if he's labeled as such. I did zone out during the rugby parts, but the coach was very annoying. I do wish the English teacher and his boyfriend had actually touched at least. I did wonder if this movie inspired Alice Oseman to make Heart/Stopper since they're both about a rugby player befriending the outcast, but both projects were probably written around the same time so it's coincidence.
Matthias et Maxime
Tumblr media
What was the directing at parts of this movie? The random dramatic zoom-ins took me out. I did like the openended nature of Matt showing up right before Max goes to the airport, and I also liked Max finding the drawing Matt made of them as farmers together. I think it's interesting to think that they might actually be gay/bi but in denial due to societal norms seen by the way the one more effete member of their friend group is bullied and called a fag by the rest. I will say that if any of the characters besides Max and Matt were in a slasher flick, they'd all die. Finally, that scene where Matt kisses Max's birthmark was super-hot, and that's all I say about it.
Beach Rats
Tumblr media
While I did like that this movie gave a motivation for why our lead didn't come out, this whole movie was pretty hard to watch for me. And it wasn't because of the homophobia he faced, but because I find everyone in it prickly and awful. The best person was probably his beard, but even she had issues. I also despised the ending with the gay-bashing.
Like I mentioned earlier, this movie was written by a cishet woman, which is completely fine, but I generally find that cishet people, when writing queer characters, focus on suffering. Matthias et Maxime was also about sexuality, but it's told in a more mature way since the people working on it are actually queer. This movie seemed to be about a closeted boy (the movie makes sure to show his limp dick when having sex with a girl and his erection when he's with a man), but they focus so much on his internal struggle that it just feels like I myself am being tortured. At the end, it seems like he decides to bury himself in the closet since his friends kill a gay man over weed (which itself was ridiculous. For weed? Lordt).
I also just wanted to point out how much I hated this era of electronic music. It's so ugly-sounding to me. That scene on the boat with all the Skrillex style beats made me want to shut off this movie, especially since the whole flick made me uncomfortable (like why were there so many longing shots of prepubescent people?). Overall, do not recommend this one at all, but that's my personal taste.
HeartStopper
Tumblr media
I was very surprised to come on here and read some of the discourse people have been having on this series. People on here are seriously angry that an LGBT show aimed at a younger audience exists, mocking it for not having drug use, sex, nudity, or a lot of swearing. I think there is a time and place for all of that, and you all know that shows like Sex Education, Elite, and Euphoria exist, right? This show is for actual 12-18 year olds who are still discovering themselves, and it's meant to assure them that there's nothing wrong with them and they deserve love.
I've also been confused on people saying this show sanitizes discrimination when we have characters like Ben who are afraid to be out due to how aggressive Henry (Harry?) is, Elle being bullied and ostracized for being trans, and a whole episode dedicated to people's lesbophobia affecting Tara.
Overall, this show felt truer to my own experiences at that age than most of the series I've seen about 15-17 year olds. I also just really enjoyed it and thought it was cute. It's a show I wish I had had when I was struggling with the closet when I was Charlie's age. And to me, it being family friend is actually a bonus, so I can suggest it to my sister as a show for their young boys to watch instead of something like 13 Reasons Why, which is a sensationalized soap opera that uses scandalizes premises to generate buzz much. I'd much rather watch a show where two boys fall in love, befriend a lesbian couple from their sister school, and then join forces to setup their trans friend and her crush.
Sometimes, I just need something wholesome, and sometimes, I need something like Fire Island. And some of you seriously need a reality check if you think it's a bad thing for a major streaming service to make a rated PG show about LGBT teens when previously anything that hinted at LGBT people was automatically rated R.

I want to study Israel 'Wet Seasick Rat' Hands under a microscope, like babygirl the fuck is wrong with you? Are you a hardcore M? An armored closet gay? A weird little sociopath except you care about stuff you just do it backwards? Like what is your DEAL and can it be fixed by getting you laid and then drowning you in a shallow pond?
