#queer rage
Text
we as a queer community don't talk enough about the reality that some people are forcibly outed.
i was forcibly outed and it is jarring and uncomfortable and i wasn't ready for it. it's emotionally violating, and you cannot ever go back into the closet.
the reality is, some people are just not safe, just not trustworthy, and don't actually value your well-being.
it shapes your experience in the world, especially for a young child to learn that someone they thought was trustworthy is not actually willing to protect them. it sets up the basis for fear, and denial, and repression. it cements in someone's brain that no one is to be trusted with your identity, and that you are somehow wrong.
it's never a good thing to tell someone to repress their identity, but the reality is that some people do not have queer safety in their minds. some people do not care.

There’s something in the way anger is treated in Hell Followed With Us. Because Benji is angry, and it is righteous. He is never expected to pack up his anger and calm down, he is allowed to feel and act on his rage, even when self destructive, in a way so many queer people wish they could. His anger is not a flaw, it is his power.
It goes against everything the church tells us about anger. We should “turn the other cheek” and take it, to accept the hollow satisfaction of being the “better person” when faced with people who would see us dead in the street. It is evil, it is weakness, it is sin. They want to take away our anger, our rage, our wrath, because they know what we can do with it, and that scares them.
Benji and Seraph are for all of us who want to scream in the face of bigots,
we will not lay down and die
Because Seraph is queer rage incarnate, and it is glorious

ok listen, i would accept izzy’s death IF (big if) the senseless killing of an ANGRY, traumatised, queer outsider was the thing that made his crew, his family, RAGE abd sharpen their swords and sail out on the hunt for REVENGE but the way it was handled on the last few minutes just makes it seem like, well izzy got killed, bummer, but let’s get married and open a inn.
WHERE IS THE QUEER RAGE????

I am a fawn. I am a fae. I am the leaves in a thriving forest, the angry waters of the sea. I am the clouds, the burning stars above. I am warmth on cold nights. The moon to guide your way. I am ever changing, but always the same. I am rage and comfort, hatred and kindness. I am a warrior, a peacemaker. An anarchist, a pacifist. I am me, unashamedly me.
But for simplicities sake, I am nonbinary.

Hate how some alloromantics will have the audacity to call aros and arospec people broken for not experiencing romantic attraction, when they are the ones who claim to feel incomplete without their so called “second half”
So apparently aros are supposed to be the broken ones because we’re already complete by ourselves??? Make it make sense.

First thing I saw this morning on tumblr was someone reblogging the transphobe who mocked me for orphaning my HP works. The tags included "can't believe this is the author of that perciver fic. Never thought I'd learn that through trans discourse."
There were no other changes to the mocking post. It was just agreement with the post and being shocked to find out a story they like was written by an enby person.
I don't think that transphobe realizes how good they have it. If I hadn't orphaned that work ages ago, I'd have deleted it today out of pure fucking spite.
It's responses like this that made me orphan the works. People who want my labor and talent but don't want to view me as a person. People who want to enjoy my output but don't want me to exist.
I blocked the person without saying anything because what is there to say. You're shocked an enby person created something you love in a fandom that has literally been divided because the transphobes and centrists think we're overreacting at Rowling's unstoppable dehumanization of those of us who exist outside of her narrow and hateful view of humanity. JK Rowling hates that I exist. She hates that anyone under the trans umbrella exists. She loudly supports an organization that refuses to use the 'TQIA' in the acronym. She is a fucking asshole.
And so are you, person shocked that someone somewhere that you don't want to exist made something you love.
I won't say it's not for you because I orphaned those works so they'd be there for anyone. But it's not fucking for you. Nothing I make is. If I could remove everything I have ever put on AO3 to just you in particular, I fucking would.

there's something i don't like about using the word 'valid' in conversations about queerness. 'valid' implies that someone or something has to be approved, and that there is someone doing the approving. i don't need approval from society or other queers to be what i am. you can't 'validate' my identity if i don't need to search for approval.

the joker and queer coding
and why i consider him to be a queer symbol
Tumblr media
* may contain spoilers in regards to the topic listed *
while joker is typically looked at as just a villainous, psychopathic murderer (with the exception of lego batman), when broken down there is much more to be found within his character. there are many reasons as to why i believe joker is queer coded. i mean, he is a representation of chaos and rage; queer rage. he goes against what is considered “normal” in society such as refusing to conform to social norms. an example of this is disregarding how society thinks men “should” act through the way he dresses, the makeup he applies (in most storylines) and how he act’s, showing a more flamboyant demeanor. of course there’s his obvious obsession with batman which i will break down more later on. it’s also important to note that in several of jokers backstories, he is usually seen as an oppressed member of society dealing with things like poverty or mental illness- both of which are unfortunately similar to what LGBTQ+ members often tend to face. joker doesn’t hide his illnesses, or who he really is, instead he’s proud of it. seeing the joker deal with being rejected from society but still remaining his silly little self is something i find to be common and relatable amongst queer people and is why i believe many are drawn to his character… because perhaps they see themselves in him a little bit.
→ the dark knight
the dark knight has one of my favourite portrayals of joker for so many reasons. one of which is the way he adapts to certain situations. not only because he changes the story behind his mouth scars to how he sees fit but also how he tends to change his appearance and actions according to the situation he’s in and who his audience is. i find this similar to how queer people may have to change identities depending on the situation in order to protect themselves and is something i can personally relate to as a queer person myself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i would also like to note this quote from the film during the interrogation scene with batman and joker…“kill you? i don’t want to kill you! what would i do without you? go back to ripping off mob dealers? no, no, no you… you complete me.” this quote is a clear reference to the romance movie jerry maguire which i think says enough in regards to the jokers feelings towards batman in this film. that same quote is also mentioned in my next topic…
→ the lego batman movie
the entire plot to the lego batman movie is, in short, about how batman needs to open himself up to others and allow more people into his life. this is shown primarily between batman and jokers relationship which is also very queer coded in this film. so much so actually that critics flagged the film as pro-gay propaganda and were angry at the “borderline homoerotic” relationship between the two characters. the lego batman movie is FILLED with romantic undertones. as i mentioned before, the lego batman movie features a romance movie called jerry maguire and this plays an important role in the film. for starters, its the movie batman watches and laughs to and it is referenced in the film. for example, a featured quote from jerry maguire is as follows “Shut up, you had me at hello.” this quote is reiterated by joker near the end of the film when batman makes a whole speech about why the joker should help him save gotham to which he responds “you had me at shut up.”
near the beginning of the movie during joker and batman’s first fight, joker talks about being batman’s greatest enemy which is a reoccurring theme throughout. batman denies such explaining that he is “currently fighting a few different people” (meaning seeing or dating) and proceeds to say “batman doesn’t do ships, as in relationships. there is no us. batman and joker are not a thing. i don’t need you. i don’t need anyone. you mean nothing to me”, hurting the jokers feelings (as clearly shown in his face in the first photo below).
the words “i hate you” are used many times throughout and have romantic connotations to them, i hate you actually means i love you. during the middle of the movie, joker confronts batman again with “do you realize you’ve never said the words… i hate you joker” before confessing himself that he hates batman and when batman shrugs him off, he reveals he is no longer going to be part of a one sided relationship and is moving on. once again these words are used in a romantic sort-of matter in one of the final scenes that is meant to be the solution to all conflict where batman finally admits he hates joker back.

→ batman: the killing joke + batman: white knight
jokers backstory has always been quite a mystery having so many theories as to what it could be but alan moore’s the killing joke is considered to be one of the most clear-cut joker origin stories out there and is my personal favourite. it contains a different outlook on his character before he became the joker, viewing him as a regular guy subjected to poverty, leading him to get wrapped up with the wrong people and suffering through pain after the new loss of his pregnant wife. this comic heavily references the oppression i spoke of earlier which is why i had to include it because even though it is just one of jokers backstories, its an important one to consider when you’re really looking into his character.
Tumblr media
remember the batman obsession i spoke about earlier ? the batman white knight comic is a prime example on just how extreme it is. not even 10 pages in, joker talks about how him and batman are “gotham’s favourite power couple” and references make-up sex. his whole life was based around batman to an obsessive extent before becoming jack napier and working alongside him much to batmans dismay. of course we can’t forget these panels either…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
from the comics, to the games, to the movies, evidence of joker being a queer coded character is everywhere to be found. if i sat here writing about every single queer thing he has ever done or been involved in, id probably age a few years. in my opinion, he is a truly fascinating character and as odd as it might seem to an outside perspective, i seek comfort in him.
hopefully ive peeked some of your interests relating to the joker and queercoding, feel free to leave me your thoughts or shoot me a message. id love to hear your opinions. perhaps if people actually enjoy this ill make a second part with more topics.
* chase j has an awesome youtube video about the joker being queer as well and thats one of the things that inspired me to write this *

Not to get political here or anything but since i cant say this to/in front of my family
Queer people are human beings and deserve human rights. Trump is an asshole. Racism and sexism STILL fucking exist. You don’t have to be Christian to be a good person. We still need pride. Gender roles and stereotypes are all bullshit. The earth isnt flat.
The future is now people are getting smarter and if you dont like that either suck it up or pack your bags and leave

There's something that happens when someone's butch — not trying to be butch, undeniably butch, even in long earrings and a dress you can tell they're raring to be in a shirt and slacks, in the corner of the room as opposed to the centre— but also so delicate. You ask them to get something from the top shelf and they fix their eyes on it and rise to the tips of locked toes. Their joints bend just a little too much and they notice when someone stands like a dancer. They talk with their hands and turn up the femininity in their voice a crazy amount at parties because they haven't yet learnt you don't need to talk like that any more, honey. They worry about making people uncomfortable in bathrooms and keep friendly smiles at their fingertips when traversing busy, rainy streets. They hide their chest beneath layers and layers of shirt, sweatshirt, denim jacket covered in patches— but still hunch, trying to accommodate a shame that's always been there, stuck to the skin like industrial glue. They keep silent around their family and scream out the rage later, wondering why can't you see me?

Fucking howling at the fact that the Joker somehow became the face of every redpill/incel/other internet misogynist Cishet Man(TM) when he is, in fact, a campy ass container of pure, unfocused queer rage
