Every Taylor Swift song

#I truly truly cannot empathize with anyone in limerence with her in fact it feels betraying.#all of the interesting beautiful art in the world and the only thing you can blow up is another implicitly conservative value white woman?#having to write narratives about her hypothetical dykeishness to feel comfortable with that dissonance? as if that would even absolve her #it’s not that I hate Taylor I just hate this unwillingness to engage with where her worldview has serious limitations and it seeps #throughout her discography. I think loving art comes with being able to recognize where it fails #what politics are present in it. it’s not deep it’s not subtext it’s all just right there

People call Heaven Official’s Blessing / TGCF a slow burn but Hua Cheng is literally courting Xie Lian like they are DATING. Slow burn who??? They’re sleeping next to each other on straw mats and Xie Lian’s offering to cook him dinner and they’re bantering across THE HOME THEY SHARE like a bunch of desperate hussys

San Lang LEAVES XL WITH A KEEPSAKE OF THEIR TIME TOGETHER SLOW BURN WHOMST

They have A DATE in HC’s armoury where they HOLD HANDS and XL pets San Lang’s quivering sword I-

Hua Cheng basically throws himself at this man he’s like you want a sword?? All of them ?? You want ALL THE SWORDS?? Fuck it take the whole room THE WHOLE ROOM JUST COME VISIT I WILL CLEAN THEM FOR YOU

Like he isn’t the king of a whole realm with shit to do

And this is just the first half of the first book—again I ask the world SLOW BURN WHOMST

#this is half in jest #but #I know some people don’t count it as “real until they kiss but THIS is honestly so gay of them #it’s in the subtext it’s in everything THAT ISNT a kiss #it’s so queer #Hua Cheng is ALL IN XL is just too innocent to Grasp It #XL is saying “come round to my tiny shack whenever sleep on my mat with me BEST FRIEND I will be your home” and HC is SUFFERING #the armoury scene is favourite of the entire thing #I was like my brother in Christ HAVE YOU NO SHAME #and knew immediately I would love him forever #tgcf #heaven official's blessing #mxtx tgcf #hua cheng #xie lian #hualian #she’s being unhinged again

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

#jeeves and wooster #i want to watch tumblr go rabid i want to watch ao3 overflow with jeeves/wooster fanfiction #yes obviously the fandom EXISTS but it's a cozy little neighborhood #a handful of talented artists and writers doing their best to keep their charming little village going #but i'm tired of cozy i want this fandom TRENDING #I WANT TO SEE THIS ON MY DASHBOARD PEOPLE #i swear to you if they made a shiny new tv series tumblr would absolutely obsess over these characters. good omens levels of obsession #it's just such a great dynamic! the good-natured overly-trusting bumbling idiot in constant need of rescuing!#the stoic all-knowing genius who quietly masterminds mayhem in order to protect this one moron he's devoted himself to for some reason #jeeves as a morosexual is just such a beautiful interpretation of the original text #wooster as a happy-go-lucky himbo who stumbles his way into a relationship with a protective caring and supremely competent mastermind #the angst and social complexities of a same-sex cross-class relationship in turn-of-the century london!#oh AND half the stories are about jeeves helping wooster get out of engagements/desperately avoid marriage #two men who live together constantly scheming to maintain their bachelorhood. this is quite literally the main plot point #the gay subtext is there! the gay subtext is there and very ripe for picking!!!#this thing is LOCKED AND LOADED we can pounce literally any time

BBC Merlin being about 'magic' for 7 minutes gay

#not to be all autistic about media analysis again but i think fandom tends to overlook the symbolic/metaphorical aspect of queer subtext #a show can be queer coded because two same sex characters have an intense relationship with homoerotic undertones #or it can be queer coded because it conveys themes of alienation. repressed identity. oppression. internalised shame #Merlin does both. several times over #gay ass wizard show #bbc merlin #merlin #merthur #magic is gay #magic as a metaphor #flashing #flashing lights #< thanks to photosensitive-despair for advising me to change the tags

redrawing another screenshot because it's good practice and because I'm a merthur whore let's be honest

#merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #merlin x arthur #arthur pendragon #merlin emrys #once again do not seperate #the homosexual tension is strong with this one #you know I sometimes really hate bbc for the queerbaiting bullshit they pull #intentionally #we could've had something great #but alas #subtext is all we will get #ugh

Special Ops: Lioness

#specialopslionessedit #special ops lioness #special ops: lioness #aaliyah amrohi #cruz manuelos #stephanie nur #laysla de oliveira #special ops lioness 1x06 #special ops lioness spoilers #aaliyah x cruz #femslash related stuff #muslim lgbt #lol putting this together made me realize three things #they keep being vague and wrong about the date and time of the wedding #there are so many things that seem to be pointing to aaliyah not making it out of this :<#and that aaliyah is actually just so very lovely and kind and stephanie nur really is doing so well with all her different layers #but man this is one of those ships that has what people love about popular subtext f/f pairings but is also canon #a central transformative dynamic the whole show hinges on #a connection unlike any either has with anybody else #let's see now that they've set it up where they take it #lol I mean we'e all absolutely expecting a bad end but can at least they both survive...

people who claim nbc hannibal was “queerbaiting” or “not explicitly queer” lack basic media literacy

#nbc hannibal #hannibal #hannibal lecter #will graham #hannigram #it’d be one thing if it was all subtext #but it’s in the text #the actual goddamn text #like if you miss it and say it’s not clear enough to be called canon then that’s on you #i don’t belive in gatekeeping but

hello lgbt community. i have a new favorite movie(s).

#working with NASTY colors that HATE each other 💚💖💚💖💚#re-animator #reanimator #bride of re-animator #so i'm. OBSESSED with this movie and its singular sequel. i just threw it on in the background while i was drawing a couple weeks ago.#and it LATCHED onto my brain with TEETH. with BARBS. it's IN there. blood and guts and stage actors and accidental gay subtext YES baby YES.#it obliterated my momentum on that oc challenge. my brain turned into green glow stick goo and it was all i could think about.#anyway. using her 37th anniversary to dump a bunch of sketches!!! this is not all of them!!! it is horror movie seasonnn!! let's go girls!!!#sorry if you followed me two years ago bc i drew baby yoda and now i'm drawing screaming women ripping out their own hearts. my bad.

Apollo Justice is getting some kinda rerelease so perhaps it is time for me to play those games!! tbh every time i think about it i just end up going back to the og though... like now, when i ended up drawing these fools again ahhh sorry apollo

I had fun (and frustration argh) feeling out those flower shapes! Went through a few different iterations before deciding on these blobby rose-camellia things. I was looking up flower symbolism for like truth and justice for a while but sometimes simple is best

#ace attorney #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #narumitsu #gyakuten saiban #miles and phoenix are married or WILL BE married and there's no convincing me otherwise #I don't usually go all in on shipping in any capacity but like...it's not subtext at this point right it's just text #unfortunately cmyk WILL destroy that blue in print alsdkfjsadf
