I didn’t miss that social cue I just thought it was stupid

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...

Bruce: We didn’t even have a proper wedding, we just went to the courthouse on a Tuesday.

Talia: The judge sentenced me to life with no chance of parole :)

Bruce: You begged me to marry you.

Talia: It’s true, I did

People on tumblr are like and I blocked that person as a form of activism and resistance and uplifted myself in the process

Back in 1951 I told my draft board I was a homosexual communist so I wouldn't be sent to Korea except now I'm not so sure I was lying lmao

here's how adlai can still win

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

[mossy-aro]

tbh as much as i do think it is worthwhile to discuss the topic of shipping aromantic/asexual characters and the nuances of it all (as well as the general attitude allos have towards aspecs in fandom spaces). it also makes me sigh equally because like... what characters. i'll be real guys we don't even have characters to discourse over. literally there are like 3 ever and none of those have fandoms anyway and the ones which do are like 'it was confirmed on twitter in a nebulously worded post by the creator'. its so bad out here

[teaboot]

I'm so goddamn oblivious all the time and sometimes someone pokes their head into my bubble to let me know shit like "You know Kate from work hates your guts, right? She's always rolling her eyes and talking about u" And I wish I was the kinda person who didn't care but it genuinely just makes me sad cause. Like. Why?? I mind my business. I try to be kind and helpful. Hate and dislike takes up so much energy. Why are they using so much energy on me?? I don't even think about them. We never interact. I'm in a different department. They could never see me again if they decided they didn't wanna. And the whole time I thought they were nice. Can't we all just do our jobs and go home. Why it gotta be like this. Why is this everywhere. I don't wanna have beef with anyone I wanna read fantasy fiction and take a nap

My biggest pet peeve abt the pjo fandom is when someone makes a long insightful post about Jason, and there is this annoying comment that goes "well he's dead" like ??? what even was the point? like you tryna be edgy or? is that a poor attempt of dark humor?

[mapswithoutwyoming]

people who think using the term “transandrophobia” implies you think misandry is “real” (although that’s kind of a can of worms anyway) need to also think homophobia means you’re afraid of gay people. or else they’re being inconsistent in their gross misapplication of the concept of etymology

[nedlittle]

genuinely i think it's important for adults, especially in the plague times, to play pretend in our day-to-day lives. when i rub my back down with tiger balm so i can sleep without pain, i imagine i am a valiant knight tending to an old injury i received from a dragon. when i go to the store to pick up eggs and milk, i am a lone cowboy riding into town on a mission. when i turn my collar up against the wind i am a femme fatale who's killed 4 husbands and is scoping out a 5th. when i stomp around in the snow i am a doomed polar explorer. if being a little bit silly about my walk to the pharmacy helps me remember that life can be full of joy and whimsy, then so be it.

some people on here make Hating All Social Rules such an obnoxiously large part of their personality that you could say "it is polite to avoid farting in a crowded elevator if you can help it" and they'd call you an oppressive puritan who hates the incontinent
