I still love this website so much because it feels like the last connection we have to an internet that doesn’t exist anymore like I can come on here and scroll through posts that are literally just funny or beautiful or interesting with no intention to sell me something or influence me we are all just here for a laugh. Nothing is just for laughs anymore EXCEPT tumblr dot com

Shoutout to Instagram user eatmovies for this post.

I was scrolling on my timeline when I saw this. After reading the caption and noting the song, I began to wonder if Gerard took inspiration from this movie for LLTBP? Am I cooking? Am I crazy?

the only censorship we need is the block, mute and filter option because giving others the power to dictate what can and cannot exist in fandom will eventually lead to banning all nsfw works or even slightly but nuanced ‘problematic’ topics. ​I block and move on because I don’t want to see certain things but to erase them completely is a dangerous slope to having things you like be banned eventually.

for as much as people are always all "gerard way always writes quirky comics women that they self-project onto!!" there is just as sharp, clear, and consistent a trend in gerard way's work to portray the heart of violence, militarism, authoritarianism, and fascism as a woman.

the so-often fetishized "secretary" (fandom-named) of draag. bl/ind's director. the mother figure in the umbrella academy. the arc of the milk wars crossover. here, women are not just capable of deep fascistic and violence, but are key stakeholders in it (leaders in it, even!!)

for a certain kind of feminist thinker, this could be critiqued for a kind of representational misogyny, and for a certain kind of prescriptivist thinker, this could be gleaned as evidence of gerard way's inner psyche and identity-formation. to me, at least, neither of those readings are as compelling as what this thread does in our current moment (as we watch the tides of authoritarianism rising above our heads as the long-unfolding foregone conclusion of capitalism) and what it forces us to confront -- particularly and especially as we yearn for certain forms and images of easy "representation"
