Yes yes yes THIS.

A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.

You mean to tell me we could have had rep for twospirit lovers, diverse and interesting casts, compelling narratives of folks of wildly mixed cultural background etc. and Hollywood really went down the million identical protagonists route instead?

/frustration/

Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.

Aw hell yeah this is wonderful and good.

Aromantic science fiction and fantasy! I’ve been working on this one on-and-off for over a month, so I’m glad I can finally share it with all of you.

If you’re looking for more aromantic fiction, I suggest checking out Claudie Arseneault’s database for aro and ace fiction. 

The book length works are all either in the Queer SFF Database or due to be added over the next few months. Note, the results page only shows ten at a time, so you need to scroll to the bottom and click “previous” to see more.

My other queer SFF book posts can be found through my master list. 

I also previously wrote this post on aromantic fantasy stories. 

Below the cut you can find the titles and authors from the slides above. Links go either to the database, Goodreads, or the story itself (for the free short stories). Enjoy!

This is why I fully plan on befriending all corvids I come across. They remember human faces, which means when Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds comes to reality, I shall be spared. Hopefully.

good news everyone. crows no longer need instructions to build tools and have started building them from memory, as well as passing the knowledge onto future generations of crows. oops!

Megatron’s Poetry - Afterlight

Feel free to have a read of Afterlight ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/20142835 ), the first in a series about some of Cybertron’s forgotten written works! It gives some insight as to how Megatron wrote his poetry as a miner, so long ago.

What is a Decepticon?

When I think of my personal Decepticon ideology, I think of Soundwave at the end of the first IDW continuity, the last true Decepticon, finding refuge in an alien solar system (our solar system, that is) after Megatron's betrayal. It took much contemplation, but he found a way to reconcile his loyalty to Megatron (who had joined the Autobots) and his loyalty to the Decepticon cause - he reached the same conclusion on his own as Megatron did in the Functionist Universe: the true Decepticon calling is Peace Through Empathy, and freedom ought to be the right of ALL sentient beings, regardless of altmode, outlier ability, mechanical or organic. The Decepticon cause has always been about empowerment of marginalised groups, but so often in fighting monsters, we become the monsters we originally so loathe. To be a Decepticon is to stand side-by-side with those who, like you, are put down as a result of factors beyond one's control. and forcibly re-seize power in a manner which a broken society will tell you is impossible and wrong. As a poet myself, Megatron's original method of speaking out strongly resonates with me. With Decepticons, it's not about who's the strongest or most brutish, but neither is it about who's the most educationally privileged and intelligent. The well-spoken and clever Constructicons break expectations and unify as Devastator, a force of mindless destruction and indulgent violence whom no-one would dare tell to point his pinky as he sips his energon-tea. The Decepticon's mighty airforce's command trine has Skywarp and Thundercracker, two formidable outliers, and other trines such as the Rainmakers and Sunstorm's bunch are even more terrifying in both power and intellect and yet the only Seeker among those most famous trines with no outlier ability is the one who not only commands the airforce, but is second in command of all Decepticons, and aspires for leadership unwaveringly, without being deterred by or even giving second thought to his lack of outlier ability, cold-constructed body (and according to the IDW character specs Starscream is also smaller and slighter in frame than the others, inexplicably). The leader of the Decepticons himself has been shown to be a poet (IDW), childrearer (Bayverse), Respected Senator (Prime/IDW2) and charismatic spokesperson (Cyberverse) and yet also a gladiator, a warrior, a strategist and warlord. Being one thing does not exclude you from being another, as the Decepticons can be anything and everything. The most successful and intelligent combiner is known to be Predaking, yet he is composed of ruffians, monsters and animals. Whether thrown together as a different species, race or having 'faulty programming' as in the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, Beast Wars/Machines and G1, or forged as an alliance against injustices and a crumbling society such as in IDW1/2, Prime, Cyberverse etc. the Decepticons are about finding solidarity in not meeting the standards of a broken society, not allowing others to disempower oneself and staying true to whatever you believe in, whether that be freedom and peace or mindless destruction. It's a faction of inconsolably different personalities, thinkers and warriors, monsters and idealists, and that's what makes it beautiful.
