(Unwillingly) thinking about the parallels between TUA and Doom Patrol and how Doom Patrol, by far, did every single thing better. The dysfunctional superhero family trope caught in a continuous cycle of starting and ending apocalypses. Time travel. Obscene humor and comical villains. Queer characters and subplots with actual resolutions (for the most part). Even the whole "they all die in the end" trope (kinda. Not all of them but that spoils too much). Both shows literally got 4 seasons each, one of them being produced by NETFLIX and the other canceled, and yet they still managed to fumble so incredibly badly it's almost unfathomable. TUA writers have no excuse for why their ending feels as incomplete/bad as it does.

Anyways if you haven't already you should absolutely watch Doom Patrol if you liked The Umbrella Academy before it went downhill. It might be camp but that's part of it's charm. If I told you that you get to see a giant rat and cockroach makeout on a sentient teleporting genderqueer street would that be reason enough

Harrow the Ninth is gonna be a 9-16 week wait because in this house we use Libby not Audible. So, in the meantime, I need recs for queer fantasy books. Haven't done a lot of reading in th past few years but some books/shows/films I like if it helps:

Raven Cycle/Dreamer Trilogy

The Iron Widow

The Umbrella Academy

AMC's Interview with the Vampire

Doom Patrol

Six of Crows

Beyond all the drama

I have to say, It’s great to finally have choices as to what we as queer people can watch on tv right now.

You want horror, gory and violent? here’s Interview with the Vampire and American Horror Story: NYC.

You want campy teen horror? watch Chucky or First Kill (gone too soon...)

You want comedy or rom-com? well here’s What We Do In the Shadows and Our Flag Means Death.

You want teen drama? Young Royals, Heartstopper or Sex Education, if you want MESSY teen drama, here’s Euphoria or Elite.

You want superheros? Umbrella Academy or Doom Patrol is your fix

Etc... etc...

We still have long ways to go, but it’s a nice beginning.

Love how literally everything Gerard Way has ever done has had some level of queerness in it somewhere, be it their music or their comics. Like this guy literally said "I am going to throw gay people and gender-based fuckery at you and y'all are gonna fucking LIKE IT." Even back in the days of Bullets and Revenge (when, to give context to my fellow zoomers, homophobia and commodification of queerness was so fucking rampant that the Superman issue with Pink Kryptonite was released in 2003), this guy was out there, screaming about sucking dick and actively kissing his homies on stage as a specific political statement.

And then later on he goes off and actually does comics, one based off Danger Days, and yeah the villain from the music videos just. Has a male love interest. Whose death causes him to finally rebel against the fascistic corporation that actively works to destroy otherness. And then Doom Patrol (which btw has always had queer subtext, severely underrated superhero line imo) and Umbrella Academy. I'm not sure what else I can say on that.

They've also been loud and proud about their own queerness, even if he doesn't use labels. Like this is not an ally thing my dudes this is a queer person making queer content for queer people, and was literally doing it before it was cool. Like shit dude. That's fucking praxis.

And then. When he started performing with their buddies again. In the years of our lord 2022 and 2023. In the middle of a worldwide effort to erase trans people from existence. At a time where people could reasonably be like "yea he's campy but he's still just a cis band dude." This bitch. Gets on stage. In not just any dresses. But dresses in references to women who are both victims of great tragedy and pain but are also icons of sociopolitical power. And never ONCE letting up on ANYTHING. Sometimes it's a dress, sometimes it's a weird Party City thing, sometimes it's literally Piss and Vinegar shirts. But never once does the genderfuckery stop.

"In the face of extermination, say fuck you."

The respect I have for this guy is off the fucking charts, and the inspiration I feel in seeing this shit happen is other-fuckin-worldly.

Please note that if you do not see a particular show, it may be because the… um, "individual" (me) has already seen it!

Reading any comic book by Gerard Way feels like going for a walk in the woods and getting attacked by a shark. Just throws you right into the deep end and there are no lifeguards. No context no explanations we die like Kobra Kid on the Crash Track.

I love pathetic losers. All my favourite shows are about pathetic losers. A really good show is always about some kind of pathetic loser. And sometimes they are friends.
