i just realized this:

a week or so ago there was a poll about what your first ship dynamic was; wlw, mlw, or mlm

and i selected wlw and said in the tags that it was Xena and Gabrielle, obviously, but i just realized i was wrong about that

it wasn't Xena and Gabrielle

it was Idgie and Ruth from Fried Green Tomatoes!!! how did i forget that? the honey scene is burned into my brain because you can totally see Ruth falling in love with Idgie, or at least realizing she's in love with her.

this random update brought to you by the fact that i thought about the honey scene just now and felt all the feels

August 29, 1924 It’s funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened; but Ruth knew the very second it happened to her. When Idgie had grinned at her and tried to hand her that jar of honey, all these feelings that she had been trying to hold back came flooding through her, and it was at that second in time that she knew she loved Idgie with all her heart.

not canonically queer, not not canonically queer, but a secret third thing (if it was between a man and a woman you could remove 90% of the romance and it would still be considered obviously canonically romantic)

(The Book of) Ruth 1:16 | Fried Green Tomatoes

Ruth quotes from The Book of Ruth (Bible, The Old Testament), and that brings back SO MANY memories.

I had a math teacher in high school named Ruth, whom I was madly in love with, so, for English class, I chose “The Book of Ruth” to make an essay of...naturally. Flash forward: I was digging around for my old King James after watching “Fried Green Tomatoes” and I’d forgotten I’d highlighted “The Book of Ruth” and had scribbled a note on the bottom:

“Call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.” (Ruth 1:20).

Whaddaya make of that? Anyway, as these stories go, Miss Ruth got married later that year, and I was devastated. HAHA. 🤣

Photos I’ve not seen being circulated

[shapposaid]

Is there anyone around here who knows where this scene comes from? Can I find it somewhere? Because I can't find it anywhere, I've been looking for it for YEARS and I only have this gif, the script and this photo.

Is there any special edition of the movie, like, I don't know, the 30th anniversary that has it? I'M BEGGING.

Yesterday I was rewatching Fried Green Tomatoes (great movie, loved the book too when I read it a few years ago) with my mom and turns out my mom thought Idgie and Ruth were best friends all along. Like the convo was something like:

My mom: The film is great, and the protagonists are such good friends, it's beautiful.

Me: Mom-- you do know they're lesbians, right?

My mom: Wait, are they???

Me: Yeah-- I mean in the book it is explicitely said they're a couple. The film is more ambiguous due to censorship and all, but if you read between lines-- it's actually pretty obvious.

My mom:

My mom: You know what, yeah, if they're gay that actually explains a lot.

It only took her 33 years lmao.
