not to be brave and controversial but rw&rb the movie is exactly what antis and puritanical fandom wants from queer media like the most bland sanitized rote dull unsexy no tension no chemistry unfunny surface level romance and representation. give me dirt give me real bodies give me imperfect humans give me natural dialog give me complex relationships explored in the silences give me kink and complicated sex and guilt and anger and selfishness and imperfection, imperfection, imperfection. and most of all give me forgiveness for imperfection and the knowledge that an imperfect thing becomes beautiful because it communicates with the imperfection all fallible beings experience on a day to day, not because the beholder is morally corrupt.

anyway. sorry if you liked it there's nothing wrong with that. go forth and live your life.

#should i tag the fandom....#fuck it #me and my friends were so bored we started to play keplunk half way through #also ive read the book and i liked it i think although that was like 4 years ago and im an adult now whos had sex and been in love and #become much more politically and artistically conscious #so maybe i woildnt #this isnt a criticism of casey mcquiston i liked shara wheeler and i dont know enough about her #but anyway if this is the culmination of queer media shoot me #i think about how much connection i found as a young queer in things like jp/craig from FUCKING HOLYOAKS #and like brittana on glee or something like that #and how those are clearly not anywhere near perfect pieces of media but at least i felt like i was watching human beings #and not sanitized ken dolls repeating cringy unnatural dialogue in front of a terrible cgi tree #i dont need queer people to be hot or irreproachable i need them to be REAL #red white and royal blue #sorry again #negativity #queer
