SURFS UP HAD A SEQUEL????????

[softquietsteadylove]

This is so niche, but I just watched Water for Elephants and I can’t stop thinking about a thenamesh circus au! So here’s my prompt: Thena is the star of the show, married to the cruel ringmaster who thinks he owns her. Then lo and behold, a certain sweet handsome and strong stable hand shows up and OBVIOUSLY they fall in love!!! Do whatever you’d like to with that LOL but let the drama and angst ensue

"Thanks for the help, Gil," two of the stage hands waved to him as they continued breaking down the ring and its rigging.

"Any time, guys," Gil waved back. He was the newest addition to the crew of the travelling circus. He really got the impression that the ring leader didn't actually want to hire him, but that it was his wife - the star headliner - who actually wanted to.

The animals needed proper veterinary care, not just Kro looking at them and saying that they could do the show until they died. No one really argued with the boss, except Thena.

No one knew how the stunning trapeze artist ended up marrying such a monster of a man. His story was that they met young and fell in love and he whisked her away to pursue their dreams together. It didn't take a genius to know that it was clearly only half of the story. But she was his wife, and the shining star of their travelling circus. So what Thena said was top priority.

Gil had spoken with her a few times while taking care of the animals. She cared for them very deeply, which warmed his heart. Especially in comparison to how Kro viewed them as nothing but walking dollar signs.

"We can get a few more shows out of it!"

"He has a bad leg!"

"Y'know when it can rest? When it's dead!"

Gil frowned, moving away from the walkway back to his personal train car and off to the side of things. It was dark out, with only the glow of their work lamps lighting things. But he could see that head of sparkling blonde hair anywhere.

"Move," Kro snarled, whether she was his wife or not. The white horse was cowering behind her.

"No," she stood against him, although he had no problem grabbing her for it. She leaned her face away from his. His hands gripped her arms, easily encircling her lithe and delicate muscles. "Stop it."

"Are you choosing a horse over me," he kept his eyes on her as he leaned into her space, "dearest?"

Thena was tough--she never had any problem with Kro's temper whenever he had a fit during rehearsal or when they were setting up. But it would be a lie to say she didn't have a certain shiver in her when he called her that. "No."

"Hey!"

Gil only realised he had said anything when the arguing couple turned towards him. He gripped his satchel in his hand but walked closer. He told himself to stay the course as Kro at least let go of Thena and stepped away from her.

"You say something?" the ring leader glared at him. Gil was not a small man, but this beast was something else. Gil often caught himself wondering if he ever ended up accidentally hurting his incredibly delicate - incredibly beautiful - wife.

"S-Sorry," Gil cleared his throat, dipping his head slightly to look up at him more. The ring leader liked flattery and feeling like he was the king of them all. "I just...I saw Angus and wondered if you needed a hand with anything."

"Mind your own, Vet," Kro snapped at him, straightening out his red performing jacket.

"No, Gil, wait!" Thena rushed, reaching out and pulling him towards her and the horse. "Angus' leg--it will heal, won't it?"

Her eyes were so, so green.

"The beast is gettin' sold to the factories by the third stop this week," Kro argued immediately.

"Gil, please," Thena pleaded again, although Kro's eyes moved to how her hands had moved to grip his sleeve. She pulled them back to herself, still standing in front of the quivering horse.

"Uh," he gulped. Horse's were fragile in the legs, and he couldn't guarantee the healing would happen quickly. But he looked from Thena to Kro, who looked ready to aim between poor Angus' eyes here and now. Gil nodded, "y-yeah. Angus is pretty young. With what it would cost to get a new horse and teach it the routine, you might as well just let Angus rest for the next two shows, three--tops!"

Kro huffed, already plenty angered just for having to argue about it. He straightened up to his full height again, looking down at Gil, "three shows?"

Gil crossed his fingers behind his back, "three shows."

"Fine, the beast lives."

Thena reached behind her, patting Angus' mane between his ears.

"But if it's any more than that," Kro glared at Gil in particular, leaning his head closer as he began walking away, "you'll put him down yourself."

"Yes, sir," Gil nodded. He could do that much; if anything, it would be kinder than however Kro would do it, he was sure.

Kro looked over his shoulder after a second, eyeing Thena. "I'll be waiting...dearest."

There was that shiver, "yes, dear."

Gil waited until Kro was moving away again to go over to her, "are you okay?"

She rubbed her hands over her bare arms, still in her sparkly - and sparse - performing costume. "I'm fine."

Gil had his doubts about that, but there wasn't much of anything he could actually do about it. He nodded, moving to take Angus' bridle in hand gently. "Does...he wasn't hurting you, was he?--when I came out here?"

Thena smiled at him, although there was something awfully morose about it. It looked like a smile, but it felt like she was crying. "No, Gil. He wasn't hurting me."

Gil gripped the leather straps tighter. Whether he believed that or not, if there ever came a day when he could no longer take the words at face value...

Thena took a step forward, making him even more aware of how ghostly she was. She was such a shining star when she was up on the high wires. But she was just a little thing, up close and personal. "Don't let him catch you worrying about me. He'll throw you from the train without hesitation."

Gil believed that too. But he also believed that if he ever saw that beast being too rough with her, he wouldn't be holding himself responsible for his actions. "I'll be sure to hide it from him, Miss."

Thena smiled, maybe even laughed to herself, and his heart twisted even more in his chest. She had such a pretty smile. "Take care of Angus for me, Gilgamesh? He'll need his rest for the next few days."

"'Course, Miss," Gil responded automatically, although he didn't take a single breath as Thena's hand just barely brushed over his as she stepped away and made her way back to the luxury sleeper car she and the ring leader shared.

She and her husband.

Gil turned to the horse, who was exhausted after just barely completing the show on an injured leg. "C'mon, boy, let's get you some calcium and a brace. Miss Thena's counting on you."

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Runs in the Family (2023)

Today in amazing movies from Netflix you haven’t heard of.

(The thumbnail from Netflix of the three protagonists in the car. River is sitting in front next to his mother, his father is in the back.)

Runs in the Family is a 2023 South African movie about a young transgender man who days before an important drag race accompanies his father on a spontaneous road trip with the mission of breaking his estranged mother out of a hospital. When his drag partner hurts his ankle and has to drop out, the father proposes to take his place, and they prepare for the performance while on the road.

This movie is notable for its incredibly healthy father-son portrait. The father is 110% supportive of his son, his queerness and his transition, and they openly talk with each other about it, as well as the ageism, racism and toxic masculinity they encounter while on the road. As a former con artist, he has been living a more rebellious, easy going life before he retired to take better care of his son as a single parent. But he has visibly never abandoned that mentality, and is so able to say things like “oh yes, we used to mess with gender too, here is an old song I like about it”. It is a message of parental acceptance that many people all over the world very much need to hear.

You can find the trailer here.

Runs in the Family is on Netflix. Just make sure you don’t confuse it with other movies with nearly identical titles.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

[barefootcosplayer]

The amount of friends that have texted me about the bioshock movie talk……

[kei-ing-yourcar]

Just finished They Cloned Tyrone. And I gotta rate it 10/10. Yall should definitely go watch it. John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris killed it. They meshed well and had amazing chemistry.

Not to mention the message behind the movie was incredible and should not be ignored. 🗣

The plot was good, had me guessing damn near the entire time, and I loved when everything came together.

So yea yall should watch it

[princessnijireiki]

nothing to add in legal news, but in continued embarrassing "going out sad" news, Q******* K****** has teamed up with Instagram account @/thealist.us (a page that hooks very low tier actors + influencers up with one off brand promo deals for pay) to randomly promote New Balance sneakers & uhhh shill probiotic supplements I guess 😐

My friend is watching The Clone Wars for the first time, and I made her watch the first two chronologically ordered episodes before the movie. It’s a struggle, but I need her to watch this in order, I can’t in good conscience let her watch this in the order in which it was released.
