For those who were wondering WHERE is this, it’s the “Quartier Gay” at Montréal (province of Québec, in Canada)
🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It’s a really cool city and I love living there ngl
I fucking miss this so much 😭 You can still find the balls in most bars around the Village but they don’t get put up every year anymore, nor has there been an interesting replacement. Summer in the Village just feels emptier without them
“War crime is a category which is starting to sound meaningless to us because everything we do qualifies as one” is not the brilliant defense of your actions you think it is
also greg is the most bisexual-coded cartoon dad ever
so greg you’re telling me your conservative family doesnt approve of your musical awakening coming from a naked gay icon in gnc/drag makeup and they want to send you to the military but you ran away and changed your name and ended up with a musical aesthetic best described as indie glam rock dad with a non-binary space alien gf instead? das crazy, tell me more about how straight you are
I think it’s important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they’re a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. “You’re a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that’s ok” how about you are a boy and a man and it’s still ok if you want to do something that doesn’t align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him in a skirt and makeup.
“If you wear pink/like floral scents/write with gel pens/whatever then you’re a girl” is not the progressive statement that some people think it is.
how many times has the OFFICIAL social media account for Israel deleted their fake, made-up stories to reinforce their propaganda campaign at this point?? it’s alarming and disturbing. especially knowing there’s people who continue to believe everything the IOF says DESPITE being constantly debunked…
I really do think this is the beginning of the end of Netflix book adaptations. What author is going to sign with Netflix over any of its competitors, knowing that they’ll likely be cancelled early without closure? Or, even worse, that their story will be scripted but never made and the rights never sold on? Far better to accept a lower deal from a smaller streamer, but earn more publicity through more seasons and know that your story will be treated properly and see the light of day.
This assumes a lot more power on the part of most authors (those of us who are not @neil-gaiman or Stephen King) than we actually have.
I have had all the concerns you list above. I think any of us who’ve reached the “maybe someday they’ll adapt my shit” stage have. But what I don’t have is the leverage to make my wishes known. If Netflix wants to really pursue something of mine, I’ll be encouraged to let them, by my agent, by my film rights agent, and most of all, by my bank account, which needs me to sell things so I can pay the power bill.
There aren’t always two deals on the table. There is so much out there that’s never been adapted, or never been adapted well, that it’s absolutely a buyer’s market, and we have to take what we can get. And then if we’re lucky, we get enough that we become one of the authors who has leverage and can afford to say “no.”
“My story has so much gay rep in it!” Awesome. How are you treating your female characters btw
This post blowing up has taught me that a lot of you think that “how are you treating the character” is asking about how they’re treated within the story, not how you, the author, is writing them. I don’t care if your female characters are goddesses or superheroes, do they talk like actual people and not a cardboard cutout with tits stapled on
Big fan of angels being autistic btw. “How does an entity like that have a neurological condition” Well they can act like that. Angels having traits that read as autistic. Incomprehensible being trying for their best mimicry of human behavior. You understand
First day on earth pretending to be a Normal Human. Eye contact is weird when you only have two of them. Trying out physical sensations. Touching things with different textures. Picked a leaf off a bush and ate it. People are looking at me weird. Sorry. Say something normal. Do you know when the bus gets here
Second day as a Normal Human. Not used to standing still because I’m usually a four dimensional shape turning within itself. I understand the bus schedule now. Blessed someone’s baby today. Trying out smells and tastes. Went to a bakery. People are looking at me again. Loudly announced I love bread
Third day as a Normal Human. I thought I understood the bus schedule but it’s not here. Got in an argument with a street preacher. The bus is here. Went to a coffee shop. Really enjoying smells and tastes. Blessed someone’s dog. I think I’m doing a good job
