You've probably seen polls about "Would you sing for X minutes / in front of X many people / etc. for $" before. Well. Here's another one!

If you sing a song in front of 50,000 people, you get a million dollars... but this time, you don't get to pick the song.

Spin this wheel of song options, and that's what you have to sing in front of a stadium full of people. You will have 30 minutes to prepare.

Perhaps it is simply because I have allowed him to consume my every thought but I think we, as gays, are sleeping on Adam Lambert a bit.

He's out here doing whatever the fuck he wants. He's been out and unapologetically queer his entire career. And he's faced some shit for it, nearly ended his career right away for kissing a man on stage, but did he stop? No. He made it a regular part of his next tour.

He's been Grammy nominated. He tours with Queen. He's writing a musical. He's a fashion icon. He makes some of his own costume pieces- a self proclaimed 'gay with a glue gun'.

Hes doing it all.

summertime sadness (every summer carries the ghosts of all the summers that precede it)

The reason I left tumblr was bc people were shitty and gross. And they still are. Just trying to look through a tag about my current interests and everyone is shitting on them because they fell for a false narrative. People don’t have brains. I’m tired.

“I’m not like you. I can’t afford to be reckless. I don’t have a family who will support me. I don’t go about shoving who I am in everyone’s faces and dreaming about a career in fucking politics, so I can be more scrutinized and picked apart by the entire godforsaken world. I can love you and want you and still not want that life.

I’m allowed, all right, and it doesn’t make me a liar; it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, unlike you, and you don’t get to come here and call me a coward for it.” 

Alex takes a breath. “I never said you were a coward.”

Casey wrote a queer political romance novel, Matthew made a queer rom com with some politics sprinkled in.

Those are different things.

I wish they could have kept Rafael Luna and made Richards the villain he is in the book... But this is amazon. They invested in this film and they want their money's worth. They want this film to appeal to as many people as possible.

Making the republican candidate a sexual predator who goes around hacking private email servers to out queer kids to win an election isn't going to fly with the conservative/republican audience (though I don't know if they'd watch a queer rom com in the first place but I digress).

They changed the queen to a king and changed the family name as to not piss off the real British royal family. They didn't make the king as blatantly homophobic and racist as the queen is in the book so it wouldn't piss off the royalists.

And I remember seeing a post with tweets from the creator of... I don't remember what show - some cartoon that aired on Disney I think - where they explained all the things Disney wanted them to change in the show and the things they had to fight to keep.

We know the MAAP told Matthew to take out the Paris love scene or they'd give it an R rating. We know he said fuck you to that and kept it in. We don't know how much amazon's execs gave him shit for before officially signing off on the version we can watch now.

They cut an hours worth of stuff, and it probably wasn't all *just* for time.

We got the most sensual and intimate sex scene I have ever seen in any piece of media, we had a conversation between a mother and son where she basically named the entire acronym before Alex told her he's bi. And then she just accepts it and reminds him about safe *anal* sex.

They had Uma Thurman say bottoming!

We don't know how much Matthew López has had to fight amazon for any of those things. And how much he's had to compromise.

Just something to keep in mind.

Having said that - release the deleted scenes amazon!!

Unironically LOVE that the script for RWRB was clearly written for a short!Alex, but then they hired TZP and just... didn't acknowledge it or change anything. So we have an obviously-shorter-than-Alex Henry needling Alex about his height and Alex furiously telling everyone that Henry MUST BE lying about being tall and yelling "We're the same height!" while looking down at him which is just so fucking funny. Honestly, way more iconic than hiring a shorter actor and playing those lines straight. I want every insecure short character to be played by a giant from now on.
