People who say bi erasure doesn’t happen need to realize Freddie Mercury is known as the most famous homosexual man when he identified himself as bisexual. If that’s not bi erasure I don’t even know.

Nanny McPhee - how colour tells a story
The bright colour palette and mise en scene of Nanny McPhee instantly stands out, making it the perfect subject for colour analysis. And though my love of this film may be slightly clouded by nostalgia, it definitely holds up in terms of film language – especially in the way colour is used. I hope to use at least extracts of this as a case study in my colour essay.
On the surface, the bright colours may just be complementary of the family-friendly upbeat humour and the whimsical fairytale feel, to make it seem that little bit more magical. However, while this is no doubt a true intended effect, the use of colour in Nanny McPhee goes much deeper.
The story starts bittersweet – though there is action and comedy, a moment is taken to show an empty red chair in a green room, insinuating (and later revealed) that the children’s mother / Mr Brown’s wife has died. The brightly coloured walls are worn and peeling, perhaps reflecting what once was a house of happiness, now tarnished by tragedy. Now, the clashing hues of the (ironically named) Browns illustrate the anxiety and agitation of the father, as he attempts to subdue his overwhelmingly wild children.
Mr Brown is represented by the colour green, and when in his study the acid green walls envelop him completely as he is lost in his own thoughts. He talks to the red chair as if it still embodies his wife,hoping for some consolation – red being the exact complementary colour to green. Conversely, Evangeline is wears pale colours, reflecting her gentle nature – she is the only one able to calm the children. When Nanny McPhee arrives, she wears completely black; ironically the most inconspicuous colour now stands out as an ominous totem of reason and control, remaining detached from the otherwise mad whirlwind of the house.
As the children learn their lessons, the intensity of colour surrounding them subsides. However, in the background, Mr Brown’s dilemma grows, and at the midpoint he decides on Mrs Quickly as their last hope, while being bathed in an unusual yellow light.
The arrival of Mrs quickly brings the most brash and sickly hues yet, with a grating persona to match. The hot pink dress exposes her as an impostor; a poor imitation of the symbolic red chair, and her bold hues prove useless for subduing the children, only making things worse.On the day of the proposal, she wears red and green - sealing the deal for good.
As the story reaches the peak with the wedding, so do the colours, at maximum saturation. The garish marriage of Mrs Quickly’s shocking pink with the acid green of Mr Brown mirrors the desperate inharmonious situation, and her incompatibility as a future wife / mother.
At the climax the family decide to face the unknown consequences, rather than be trapped into a life with Mrs Quickly, and Simon realises that his father could marry Evangeline. Snow completely envelopes everything which clears the colour away, bringing a sense of relief at last. Everyone is left wearing white, revealing the family in harmony for the first time, as they get their happy ending.
An additional theory I have is that the emotional impact of the colours directly correlates with Mr Brown’s perspective in the narrative. The overwhelming bold hues embody the feelings of pressure and stress on him, while he would see Mrs Quickly as a sort of impostor in place of his late wife. No doubt the happy resolution washes all his fears away, the headache inducing hues cleared from his mind as he faces a fresh start.

Ari being at Manchester pride makes me seethe with rage. It was her fans who made that “Millie Bobby Brown runs Faggots Over” meme (‘when I see a fag I floor it’ etc).
Because she’s there, entry fee for pride is £75! For fucks sake! if pride really is “for everyone uwu” like y'all screech on about, what about people who can’t afford 75 quid to get in to their own parade?
Need I remind you all that london pride allowed violent transphobes to the front last year? we are STILL fighting for our fucking rights to live our lives and this cishet singer who made a biphobic song THIS YEAR is headlining, profiting, and forcing actual gays out of their own celebration. Fuck Ari.
GET CORPORATIONS OUT OF PRIDE!

Do you know what I hate??
When I was growing up any time my brother upset/hurt/was rude to or downright nasty to me I was told “he’s just doing it to get a rise out of you” “he’s just doing it to annoy you”
Like??? I know?? I know he’s being mean to upset me. I know he’s saying horrible stuff to annoy me. And guess what?? I’m annoyed!!!!
I was literally told not to be upset, because his intentions were to upset me????
How is that not upsetting? Especially to a young girl??

So I saw people on Twitter already bitch about Critical Role Kickstarter and holy fuck are you serious rn? There are like hundreds big companies in the entertainment business that are so fucking evil and that exploit people and then brag about it. Literally like two days ago the actress from Game of Thrones said in the interview that someone fainted from exhaustion while shooting and every one was just like seems legit, great job, HBO, doing such a hard work.
And people are coming after these nerds that received 4 millions dollars, which lemme remind you, in the entertainment business, is considered like the 10 percent of the cocaine budget, from their fans to make a fucking cartoon. And acting like they are some evil mustache-twirling monocle-wearing villains.

Me, looking over the architecture plans for my evil organization’s base: “Hmm. Looks good, but there’s just one one problem. The vents need to be bigger. Make those air ducts easily accessible and large and strong enough for a well-muscled adult man to crawl through them.”
Henchman: “Isn’t that a security risk?”
Me: “What? No. Also, make sure they form an unbroken connection between all the most important rooms in my lair.”
