I just watched Hot Fuzz again and I need to talk about it.

The writers for Hot Fuzz have said several times that Nicolas originally had a female love interest but she took up too much time without being connected to the murder plot so they removed her completely and instead gave her core dialogue and scenes to Danny, making him the love interest.

The movie constantly makes connections between Danny and Nicolas’ ex-girlfriend. For example, she complained about Nicolas forgetting her birthday so later on Nicolas panics when nobody told him it was Danny’s birthday. She told him he has to find someone he can love more than work and by the end he chose Danny over working in London. He gifts Danny flowers and wins him a stuffed toy. They spend the night out together followed by Danny inviting Nicolas home. They have a romantic theme that only plays during their emotional scenes. We even see the exact moment Nicolas realise he’s in love with Danny when the old lady asks if he’s buying flowers for a special someone and he says “….Yes” with a shy little smile.

The only thing missing is an actual kiss but in the Cornetto trilogy romantic relationships are rarely sealed with a kiss. In Shaun of The Dead the main romantic couple Shaun and Liz never kissed once and they had as much physical contact as Nicolas and Danny.

It’s funny to watch this movie and realise it has more queer content than some more modern movies and shows that are hailed as good queer media.

Like, I’ve never heard anyone accuse Hot Fuzz of queerbaiting but because it treats Nicolas and Danny’s relationship the same way most movies treat straight romances in the genre (it was literally originally written as a straight romance) people just didn’t notice it was a queer movie or thought it was a joke on homoerotic buddy cop movies. If it came out today it would absolutely be on the queer movie list.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

I cannot thank everyone enough to donated om yesterday as well as simply being here to enjoy the cute & funny friends I'm posting and reblogging. I know I have been dealing with personal stuff as well as chronic health issues which made me mostly a homebound person. But reading witty or wholesome stuff people adding on the tags or reblogs also give me a smile as well as I can't apologize enough for decision about deactivate account from months earlier. I'm doing my best to never give up.

talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip

Update on my one week twitch suspension!

So they're saying I violated community guidelines but they're not telling me HOW I did so, just that 'we had one of our guys look at it and trust me you did. Do not evade this ban'

????????

Honestly the only thing I can possibly think of that got me this is that terrible tree pollen joke I made so I guess No More Bawdy Jokes on twitch dot teevee???

For context I was suspended 5 minutes after starting my stream, fully clothed and chatting about pets and allergies

I just wish theyd tell me EXACTLY WHAT WAS THE VIOLATION

This is the most powerful call to ratio I've ever seen. It's like she's performing an incantation.

'We are trans. We are human.'

Pretty simple and valid point.
