PRIDE (2014) dir. Matthew Warchus In 1984, after realizing that they share common foes in Margaret Thatcher, the police and the conservative press, a group of LGBT activists decide to raise money to support the National Union of Mineworkers during their lengthy strike. There is only one problem: the Union seems embarrassed to receive their help. Based on the real life Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. (link in title)

I'm not very active on Tumblr, but when I am, I remind everyone what an amazing movie Pride (2014) is.

Gauntlet at the Garden (2025)

As pride month is inching closer, let me tell you one of my favourite moments from pride last year: It was my first time volunteering and helping organise pride, which was already a great experience, but specifically the day of the parade, I was assigned as one of the people at the very front waving the giant pride flag. This in itself was the most fun I've ever had at a pride parade!! However, every approximately 15 minutes, we would lay down the flag to take a break, drink water, stretch etc and that's when a lot of people would come to talk to us or take pictures with the flag. At one of these rest stops, I see a teenage boy eyeing me a bit shyly and then talking to his mum, who clearly encouraged him to come talk to me. He steps forward and basically asks if my goatee is real because he thinks it's really cool. At this point I have to say that for a young cis man it took me ages to grow facial hair and I was a bit insecure about it. I still can only grow this goatee tbh, so having this teenage boy say that already felt good. But that was when I noticed that he himself had drawn a goatee just like mine on his face!! And the moment I see that he chimes in to say that he wishes to one day have a goatee like mine. Idk why but that made me feel so protective over this random teenage boy, and in a typically embarrassing move on my behalf the only thing I could think to say was that I only got my goatee relatively recently and that it's only a matter of time until he gets his own.

Point is: pride is awesome, pride helps people find themselves and feel more in community to each other, I can't wait for pride this year again.

Little animation I did, inspired with what is happening in the fandom with the news of the new series

[methewizard]

One of my most strongly held artistic beliefs, even though I'm more a consumer than a creator, is that it's infinitely harder to make a realistic happy story than a dramatic, tragic one. I've had people tell me that tragic stories are far more interesting, more real, more inspired, represent the human condition more accurately and that's why they're better and to that I say are they really? Think of a story where the characters face hardships, overcome obstacles, challenge their beliefs and when they come out the other side at the end they don't get the tragic hero treatment where they bravely live forever holding hands with sorrow or have to suffer to be worthy of joy. They instead find fulfillment in themselves, the people around them and their surroundings. They make a breakthrough in their way of thinking and living and that propels them to a hopeful bright future. In our world where doom and rot have entered our everyday vocabulary, creating light and magnifying it – in spite of it all – is so important, yet so difficult and requires so much strength. It gives people much needed hope and it sets a precedent: If there's an imaginary story where things end up alright, maybe it can happen in real life too. If there are other people out there who actively seek and embrace happiness by creating and consuming this story, maybe I'll find them in real life too. It's the reason why so many people have soft types of media as our comfort media, and it's always the tragedy lovers who'll roll their eyes at us needing something to hold on to. Heartstopper is the biggest example that comes to mind right now but I'm certain you all can give me more. Creating and consuming happy media is an act of resistance and self care (which is by itself also an act of resistance btw), I rest my case.
