A marca que a besta deixou em mim

pra começar isso não é um filme de terror, por mais que parece é um romance, daqueles de sangrar não, não literalmente mas de sofrer já que a dor de um sofrimento se aproxima da dor de um sangramento se é que me entende.

Queer TV

This is a strange time to be writing an editorial on queer representation. While the past year has seen an incredible uptick in queer stories being told with humor and heart on the small screen, 2022 has seen a record high of 238 proposed anti-LGBTQIA+ bills in the US—nearly half of them targeting trans folks. Representation is important, though, and demand for more queer stories is growing (and, to some degree, being met), with a lot of good books and comics making it to our screens. With that in mind, think of this as your selective chronological tour of all the times we won in the TV landscape of the last year (October 2021–October 2022).

Our dataset year started off with the much-awaited adaptation of Robert Jordan’s fantasy epic, Wheel of Time. With such extensive source material (15 books if you count the prequel, which is where the seeds of the sapphic storyline in Rafe Judkins’ adaptation are to be found), the viewership, generally speaking, was divided into book fans and show-only fans, and both camps shitposted and meme’d and reviewed with abandon. 

The biggest queer-centric show we saw in the last year was the adaptation of @aliceoseman’s comic Heartstopper (@heartstoppercomic). Co-created by Alice Oseman themself, this adaptation was very sensitive to the much-loved source material. And, being native to Tumblr, these characters were bound to be welcomed with open arms when they hit the screen in an ebullient explosion of queer joy. 

A run-down of the past year would be incomplete without the incredible queerdos of the Revenge who swashbuckled their way into our hearts. We’re referring, of course, to Our Flag Means Death’s Gentleman Pirate and his merry band of (living-wage-paid, no less!) shipmates. Your favorites included genderqueer Jim ‘not-a-fucking-mermaid’ Jimenez and Oluwande, Lucius Sprigg and Black Peter, Frenchie who just hates cats, and The Swede, who keeps his heart but loses his teeth. Then, of course, we have Blackbeard himself, or simply Ed, who is struggling with his identity (villain or softboi).

Based on the story by @veschwab and produced by @belletristbooks, First Kill was another adaptation that fans of vampire stories got very excited about. Add to that the fact that this was very much a sapphic enemies-to-lovers scenario between hunter Calliope and young vampire Juliette, and the pre-show excitement was palpable. The post-season disappointment even more so as fans turned to their dashes to vent about the lack of good lesbian and wlw representation in 2022’s TV landscape.

Where the cancelation of First Kill left us reeling, the Rockford Peaches from A League of Our Own came in clutch and soothed our sapphic souls. You love the show which you affectionately shortened, in good old Tumblr fashion, to a silly little acronym: aloto. Whether you’re in it for the gal pal aesthetics, the butch energy, or Uncle Bert, or some good old fashioned baller drama, there truly was something for all of your wlw whimsies here. Let’s go, Peaches!

@neilgaiman’s The Sandman series finally came out to much acclaim, and came out so gay that armchair reviewers of the homophobic sort really struggled to wrap their minds around quite how gay it is. We got pansexual serial killing Corinthian! Pansexual, demon-hunting, women-kissing Johanna Constantine! Some very loaded moments between Morpheus and Hob Gadlin! This is what dreams are made of (sort of)!

This whole list would be nothing, nada, a crumb of zilch whizzing around a black hole, if it weren’t for the writers who created many of these stories in the first place. So thank you to them. And to you, Tumblr, for celebrating the good and standing up for each other through another year. Here’s to a kinder 2023.

Todos que passaram ou permaneceram

pela minha vida

São como borboletas,

As fotográfias falam por si.

[maresde1997]

[maresde1997]

Sim eu associo família a pessoas que me abandonam.

-traumas away

[maresde1997]

Como se mata a saudade de uma coisa ou um lugar

que não te pertence mais e que lá não podes mais habitar ?

[maresde1997]

A saudade é suicida

ela foi criada em nossa mentes

para morrer

e basta você decidir se vai mata-la ou deixar viver em você.

poema de anos atrás...

Essa parada não é pra mim

eu faço poesia

sou poeta

daqueles do tempo da velha guarda

daquele que se iludem

que gostam do gostinho que a paixão passa

sei que posso "perder tudo" novamente

toda essa história que construí, de, posso ser tudo

posso fazer tudo!

Mas oque seria de mim sem a poesia sem as belas palavras e os dias loucos

Talvez nesse caminhar entre o abismo e a sanidade eu tenha me deparado com esse novo mundo

no meu olhar me puis a me cegar e me perder OU talvez eu só quis ir por um outro caminho por um tempo.

mas ainda não sei oque me levou a chegar até aqui

[maresde1997]

Eu sou o silêncio e você nunca vai me ouvir.

[maresde1997]

tudo bem, a vida é cheia de mal entendidos.
