#Sexy outlaws

[deweydecimalchickens]

This morning I received revelation while listening to Metallica's cover of 'Turn the Page' (Bob Seger, 1971). And the revelation was:

If 'Easy Rider' (Dennis Hopper, 1969) were made today, it would be about trans people.

I SAID WHAT I SAID.

I will double down and say 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' and 'To Wong Foo' were, in their a-little-confused-but-got-the-spirit way, attempts at fix-it sequels where the social, sexual and gender outlaws on a road trip *don't* all die at the hands of frightened social conservatives (spoilers, sorry).

Fear and hatred of the counterculture was dripping with gender panic, from would-be mothers having free love on the Pill to would-be breadwinners growing their hair long and becoming hippies. The main characters are called "queers" and told to cut their hair, and I don't think the moral of the story is that what happens to them is only bad because they fucked women after all.

"So you walk into this restaurant, strung out from the road

And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold

You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear them talk, other times you can

All the same old clichés: "Is it woman? Is it man?"

And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make your stand

Make your stand"

This has been by far the hardest ask I've ever sent, I'm still not fully convinced you didn't ban mobile-me or something 💀😂

Technical issues aside, to the actual ask!

There is a lot there I'm curious about! I'm not even touching Umbara tho, no thanks, still not over it the winner is: Western AU outline! 👀 I'm in a yeehaw mood 💜

LOL I don't know why my tumblr wouldn't let you send an ask. I swear you're not banned!

The Umbara one is actually funnier than you would think. It's an abandoned wip at this point, but I still think the premise is just weird enough to be interesting. It's an isekai fic where the reader wakes up on Umbara during that arc, knowing everything that's going to happen and trying to prevent it. I just really wanted an excuse to meet real life Fives and be surrounded by clones

The Western AU! It's a Cad Bane x Reader fic, so I'm not sure how much you'd be into that XD I haven't gotten far with it yet, so I'll just give you a quick rundown of the plot:

Reader gets held up during a train robbery by the outlaws Moralo Eval and Cad Bane. Eval decides he likes her as his prize, and Bane doesn't have time to argue the point about taking hostages.

They tie her up and take her with them back to their camp. Eval wants to "claim" his prize, and Bane tells him to knock off with that shit.

Eval doesn't, and Bane shoots him.

Reader expects she'll be next, but instead, Bane gives her Eval's horse and tells her to leave. He'll have moved on by the time she can alert the law, and now he gets to keep all the loot for himself.

"Ain't no use shootin' a pretty lady. Waste of a sweet, warm body."

So he's not exactly a gentleman, but he doesn't hurt her, and he lets her go. She keeps thinking about that, even after she finds a nearby town and tells the sheriff (with very poor directions back to the camp), and even after she returns home, safe and sound. To a cold house and an even less warm husband.

She thought that was the last she would see of the outlaw, until one night when she notices a light on in the barn.

Ngl tho Ruven knowing exactly who Red used to be is just reallyyyy fucking funny to me because 1. Red is an idiot 2. The only conclusion i can come to is that he just literally doesn't care. Yeah your honor they killed people but they have beautiful eyes and they looked hot doing it, what's your point
