I have a new essay for everyone its called "OFMD S2 is an insult to Con O'Neill both as a person and his legacy in his acting career as a queer man"
Like, this man did not spend his ENTIRE FUCKING CAREER playing almost exclusively openly queer or heavily, heavily coded queer characters to be treated like this??? In fucking 2023??????? He got better, more queer happy endings in the 80s and 2000s, the fuck?
I think it's incredibly telling that David felt like he had to hide what he was doing with Iz' character arc from Con till it was too late in filming. Hey, hey David? What did you think he was gonna do if he knew beforehand what was happening?? David? David do you think he would've walked? Do you think he would've used his leverage both as the fan favorite and integral part of the story to demand BETTER from you and everyone else writing the show?
Con has been making queer art since the fucking 80s when he was in his 20s. He has openly talked about trans rights and the fight against homophobia that we have been fighting for years and decades. I can't imagine what kind of push back he had to deal with to get all the gay shit he was doing to come to fruition. I can guarantee that at least part of the reason he doesn't have as big of a career as he absolutely deserves is because of how openly queer he has been since the start. I think if Con had been allowed to have some input in the direction of Izzy's character that something like this wouldn't have happened, at least not this messily and uncompassionate.
I legit can't imagine how fucked he must've felt after being given the genuinely very beautiful Unicorn scene and then be casually taken aside and told "lolol anyway Izzy is gonna die now, without love and without the acceptance he had already been given". But at least he was given a cuddle????
Anyway watch Dancin' Thru The Dark. Its on YouTube and it's about an openly genderqueer/bi man who goes on a sad but fun music adventure and it's actually really really good. Con sings and its a fucking bop AND he doesn't die at the end or watch Bedrooms And Hallways, it's a fun romcom about a found family of all queer people doing stupid gay shit. Also you can see Hugo Weaving's entire dick and balls in one scene and if that's not better gay rep then ofmd s2 then idk what is

Spare a thought for Con O'Neill who, for months, went to comic cons and had to listen to people telling him how important Izzy is to them, how they see themselves in him and how, if something bad happened to Izzy, they would be absolutely devastated. Man deserves an award.

that "what's the most expensive piece of clothing you own" poll going around is exactly why i wouldn't trust any of yall with a guillotine bc a couple hundred dollars is a very reasonable price for a well-made and heavy duty winter coat, especially if it's real fur. short of teleporting into a utopian future where ethical and sustainable fashion also comes at a rock bottom price point i would love to hear your alternate proposals

Bumblebee Week Day 1 - Cybertron
Free yourself
Float away
Let go
Or here you'll stay
Hold it close
And open wide
You have no faith
The mirror lied
'Til the truth comes out
'Til the truth comes out
'Til the truth comes out
Every night I die just a little
All this time, I'm caught in the middle
All your life, you fought with no winning
This is just the end of the beginning
Every night I die just a little
All this time, I'm caught in the middle
All your life, you fought with no winning
This is just the end of the beginning
Song: Les Friction - The End of the Beginning

Joseph Quinn talking about how a normal weekend day would look like for Eddie:
get up at 2pm
practice guitar
eat something unhealthy
probably smoke something unhealthy
walk around
play DnD
go to bed
And he said it would make Eddie happy, he'd be happy in that life.
