i think we need to understand the gravity of how quickly Percy blames himself and his disabilities for the way his world is. how he's been made to believe over years and years that he's weird, that there's something wrong with him. Percy saying he should've been paying attention. Percy saying there's something wrong with his brain. Percy calling himself broken.. he's just a kid man

actually i've decided i'm obsessed with joe's what are you gonna do kill me line. marwan kenzari plays that one 100% seriously which is in line with how he does the rest of the scene (perfect btw 100/10 we've talked about that that's not the point here) and i tend to overlook it because of that but in retrospect funniest possible thing to say to the guys who have kidnapped you for your immortality. what ARE they gonna do. kill him?

You know something I don't think I've ever seen people talk about is how Freddie changed the lyrics for Big Spender.

Because in case you don't know, all original versions of the song are sung by women - and it is made very clear that they are singing to men:

The minute you walked in the joint I could see you were a man of distinction A real big spender [....] So let me get right to the point: I don't pop my cork for every man I see Hey, big spender Spend a little time with me

Probably not too surprising, then, that when Queen performed this song in 1974 Freddie had to do a bit of a gender-switch on it:

Though, it would probably be more accurate to say that Freddie made this song gender-neutral because he didn't change it to be about a woman. He eliminated the first use of "man" entirely and then sang "I don't pop my cork for everyone I see" (instead of "every man").

And honestly there's probably a whole dissertation you could write just about those changes alone, but what I really love is when Queen brought the song back in 1986 and Freddie changed the lyrics again:

Because yes he still dropped the first "man" but the "everyone" is changed and Freddie instead sang "every guy" with just the barest hint of a "-rl" sound at the end to give him plausible deniability if anyone asked about it.

So much of Freddie's music speaks to his experiences as a queer man but, because of the nature of the times in which he lived, he couldn't always be directly open about that fact. Most of his love songs are intentionally vague, and he sang about "somebody" or "you" to avoid having to use gendered terms as much as possible.

Freddie singing "I don't pop my cork for every GUYrl I see" wasn't just an adjustment to the original lyrics, it was a specific change from how Freddie had sang it before in order to make it more gay in a way that he could rarely be with his own music, and that is what I adore about this. It's such a little thing, but it gives such a unique insight into how Freddie balanced his sexuality and his stardom, and how the relationship between those two changed over the nearly 12 years between these performances.

I'm telling you, everything's gonna be all right as long as we're together!

"the vast majority of legal persecution against early queers was focused on men" ARE YOU INSANE

Most of the time, it feels like I can't even function. It's hard on all of us, but we've got this. We need each other. We'll never stop talking and standing up for the truth 🇵🇸🙏

MITSUKUNI ISN'T EVEN DEAD???

malta doesn't know anything amber is the love of my life

when midoriya punches the zero pointer at the entrance exam, all might says “show who you are, embody what it means to be a true hero, nothing is nobler than self sacrifice” do you think aizawa heard kill bill sirens

It is a valid criticism of the Re4 remake to point out when a certain scene with Ada was swapped with Luis. But if you genuinely think they made her less important of a character in the remake, or that, because the one scene of her saving Leon from Krauser was swapped with Luis saving him, she's no longer important to the story, you're beyond mistaken. Just admit you never actually paid attention to Ada as a character, and you falsely equate screen time/frequency to character worth.

Leon wouldn't have survived without Ada in the remake. Ada saved Leon's life multiple times in the remake. Leon would have lost Ashley for good without Ada. Leon never would have made it to Luis's lab without Ada. Leon would have died to Saddler almost immediately without Ada. Many. Times. Luis's development is not to Ada's detriment. She is just as important, necessary, and significant of a character as she was, if not more so than she was, in the original.

This game has so many instances where a character's goodness saves the lives of Leon and Ashley. Leon and Ashley were doomed from the start of the game to die; and it is only because of Luis's cure, because of the Merchant's supplies, because of Hunnigan's backup, because of Ada's repeated interference and information, that they survived. Don't you understand?? This story is about interconnectedness and kindness extended to those in need, and Ada is central to that. She wasn't reduced. She wasn't "taken away from". She is one more character that without the presence of, this story could not exist, and Leon and Ashley's lives would not be saved. She is vital to this story; she always has been. And her impact was not lessened just because Luis got some more scenes.

love people making jack this suave sexy put together badass like babe we are talking about a man who canonically wont say fuck and says "yahtzee" when hes excited

Sorry but if you think 3 cheers is better than black parade youre deranged. You can like it more idgaf but it is not better. For one gerard isnt holding everything together

In regards to Beast World: Atlantis... can we please for the love of fuck just stop with Garth and Tula as a couple?? It doesn't work anymore because of canon switches and at this point it's just flat out weird. No one is acting like themselves and it doesn't even lend anything of substance to the story. It's the worst kind of nostalgia bait. Just stoooop.

Can I share something? Something so insane happened because today, my younger sister hesitantly told me she wrote fanfic and also hesitantly let me read one of her works. I’m not surprised that she’s going off and expressing her creativity in a way similar to how I did at the same age, but what the fuck? The way she wrote was? So? Insane? Crazy? Are you even fourteen? When I was her age, I was writing really bad MHA fanfics with horrid plots 😭

Told me this: “its just brainrot ahahaha kinda cringe” but when I read it I was Genuinely astonished. I hope she never loses this passion, even though she might find it cringe. I feel insanely proud :’) sorry for the happy rant hehe

one of the best fics i ever read in my life was written by a 16 year old who lived in indonesia like i definitely believe it

OK but please tell me I'm not the only one who instantly fell in love when they saw the live action actor for Dragon. Like good god 😩❤️
