What’s you read this month? Which was your favorite?
Imma give all seven here a lil review because I feel like it:
Yes, Daddy by Jonathan Parks-Ramage. I was very excited for this book. It’s a gay thriller set in the Hamptons. It has shades of Get Out and that Netflix show, You. There are some high points throughout, but my issues with this book is that the tone shifts really suddenly in the third act. It starts out being really pulpy and living in that thriller world, and then it takes a sharp turn into a serious novel about trauma and healing. There was just a little bit too much going on here, and it wasn’t long enough to do everything it wanted to do successfully. 3/5 stars.
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. This is a perfect summer read. It’s a wonderful romcom with time travel and magical realism elements to it. It’s a sapphic romance set in New York. Great cast of characters, a really excellent pair of romantic leads. There’s not much more to say. If you enjoyed Red, White, and Royal Blue, I think it’s highly likely that you’ll enjoy this book as well. 4/5 stars.
What Belongs to You by Garth Greenwell. This is an excellent novel. It follows an unnamed narrator who works as an English teacher in Bulgaria and becomes entangled with a young hustler named Mitko. This novel explores violence, trauma, and gay desire with such honesty. The writing is excellent, character work is shattering. It doesn’t quite have the emotional sweep I would’ve expected, but beyond that it’s a fantastic character study. 4/5 stars.
Cleanness by Garth Greenwell. This is the follow up to What Belongs to You. It feels like less of a follow up and more of a continuation of its predecessor. The two should be read together. The emotional sweep I was looking for in the first book can be found here. Structurally, it’s a collection of short stories, vignettes of the unnamed narrator’s life in Bulgaria before he ultimately leaves. This book is hot, it’s tense, it’s heartbreaking, and so well written. 5/5 stars.
Future Feeling by Joss Lake. This is a debut novel set in a indeterminate time in the future. It follows three trans men and the different places they are on their journey towards self actualization. This is very light scifi, and the near future setting works really well when exploring transness and queerness through surreality. Joss Lake has a great voice as an author, and there’s a lot of great humor and honesty in this book. However, this does feel like a first novel a lot of the time. I think things get fumbled in terms of plotting, pacing and world-building. Ultimately, Joss Lake sticks the landing and the ending is genuinely beautiful. 4/5 stars.
The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions by Larry Mitchell, illustrated by Ned Asta. This is an essential queer text. I read it in one sitting. It reads as a manifesto, a fable, and even a prose poem throughout. The illustrations are wonderful and whimsical. I think every queer person should read this. I don’t know how else to articulate my feelings for this book except to say go read it! 5/5 stars.
Sissy: a Coming-of-Gender Story by Jacob Tobia. As someone who is in the midst of their own gender journey, I loved this book. So much of my experience lines up with Jacob Tobia’s. The writing here is funny and clear. This memoir isn’t centered on trauma, which feels unique when it comes to stories about trans and GNC people. My only critique is that there’s not a ton of nuance when it comes to exploring the intersectionality of race and gender identity. Race is glossed over mostly, mentioned in passing, and there are some blindspots I think could’ve been better explored. But beyond that, I loved this book. 4/5 stars.
Thanks for listening. Happy Pride! Read more books!

TUA SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN AU
(please understand that by AU, I mean they share an incredibly small amount of things in common with the original source material which I barely remember BUT the "story" takes place in the setting of the film) (not to be misleading or anything :p)
(Huntsman) Diego has been roaming the dark woods for years, on the run from the two queens. He loves his mother Grace, but she died with Ben - and the person in her body now just isn’t very nice. He’s angry, and bitter, and full of heartache and pain… losing your family will do that to you. But he’s still looking for Five. His beloved husband may be dead, but there’s still hope for their son. Right?
(Gold Queen) The Handler is the gold queen. She believes love is a weakness, and how could she not - her sister Grace ruined herself with love for her children. Then again, she supposes it’s a bit her fault that Grace went mad - the Handler was, after all, the one who killed the child that left Grace a cold, icy bitch.
(Ice Queen) Grace does not believe in love. Any child of hers foolish enough to fall in love will be taught the same lesson she suffered to learn - love is synonymous with death.
Five can’t remember the names of all the people he’s killed. The Handler took him from his mother when he was just a baby - he has no knowledge whatsoever of who she is. The Handler forces him to kill people in her courtyard arena, claiming him as her champion, and he knows he’ll die if he lets her down. She promised to bring him back to his family if he just stays a good little boy and does what he’s told - Five thinks she’s probably lying though. He had a friend here once, Dolores, and the Handler agreed not to make him fight her… and then turned her into a gold statue in the middle of the courtyard, where Five has to see her and be reminded of his failure to keep her safe every single day.
Klaus has been stuck down here for who knows how long. It’s damp and dark and cold and there are bars on the window. Grace dragged him here what must’ve been years ago, probably because she found out about him and Diego - not that it matters. Grace banished Diego, and Five was taken from him long ago. Diego’s probably dead, Klaus knows how it is out there, and his son is also probably dead. There’s only so long for Klaus anyway - he’s been seeing his dead brother Ben lately, and even Klaus is smart enough to know that’s probably not a good sign.
Ben died at the hands of the Handler when he was only fourteen. His death cause Grace to go full psycho, and Ben… exists with that guilt every day as he looks after Klaus, who is slowly going mad. Ben needs to get him out of here, but first he needs to find Diego… and Diego has always made a point of being very, very hard to find.
Allison was one of few children who managed to escape both the queens when the war began. She found a home with a man called Reginald and thought she was saved… but he was just another asshole. He treats her and the other refugees like slaves, knowing they’ll never leave out of fear of the queens’ killing arenas. Ray and Luther are her fellow inmates - and they all want out.
Vanya is a witch, trapped in a cave by the Handler after being stolen from her mother Grace. A selkie named Sissy came to help her settle in her first day, and now collects ingredients for Vanya’s experimental break-out spells. They fell in love, and have a son named Harlan together from Vanya’s magic, but it’s unlikely they’ll ever be allowed to touch, a constant blue shield between them.
Cha-Cha and Hazel are the Handler’s personal generals, and when they learn that Klaus is alive, they take him on orders from the Handler, who knows he’ll be good bait now that Diego is the symbol of the revolution. Agnes is the village healer they force to heal Klaus after they’re done torturing him for information, which he never gives. She detests both of them, and eventually uses her magic to knock them out and set Klaus free.
Eudora is leading a rebellion against the two queens in secret. She has no idea about Reginald, or else she’d go after him too. When Allison kills Reginald, she brings herself, Luther, Ray, and all the other captive young adults to Eudora’s safe haven, where she trains them into soldiers for the upcoming fight. If they don’t want to be soldiers, they train to be healers under Agnes, who tells Eudora of the dead prince being locked in the Handler’s dungeon and tortured, having apparently been imprisoned. Look, Eudora’s not a bad person, she’s just a strategist - and it’s better to have Klaus in captivity long enough for her to get Diego on her side, using his husband’s rescue as leverage.
Lila is the Handler’s personal guard. The Handler believes she has Lila’s complete loyalty, but Lila’s been slipping information to Eudora for years - Eudora, who she’s in love with. Eudora, who kisses like the sky does the ground. Eudora, who will leave Lila to die once she’s no longer of use. Or so she thinks.
The Handler wiped Five’s memory when she took him at five years old, so he doesn’t remember his family at all. She’s hoping nobody comes along and breaks his programming. She’s spent so long on it. It’d be such a shame.
Across the land, Allison serves Reginald dinner. She refills his drink, picks his knife up from the ground, and stabs him through the heart. Then she and Ray and Luther and the others fucking book it.
Diego wanders the woods alone, intercepted only by Eudora, who he locks in awesome battle with before realizing who she is. They smile at each other and she asks him yet again to join her movement, which he refuses. She smiles ruefully and disappears.
Allison and Ray and Luther join Eudora’s cause with the others, Luther quickly becoming their best soldier, Ray their most gifted healer, and Allison equal to Eudora in both physical and mental prowess. Eudora is hunting in the woods one day and runs into Lila, the two of them having a love-at-first-sight moment. Lila hears her name called and runs away, but they remain drawn to each other, even if Eudora can’t shake the mark of gold on Lila’s wrist from her mind.
The Handler starts making threats at Vanya, mostly about Sissy and Harlan. Klaus has forgotten what the sun looks like, but is given a refresher on the moon when Cha-Cha and Hazel break into his cell and steal him in the middle of the night. Ben holds him the whole time, but he’s so scared. So so scared.
Eudora and Lila keep meeting in the woods, mostly by accident. Lila starts telling her things, important things, and one day lets slip that the dead prince Klaus is alive and imprisoned in the Handler’s dungeons, to which he was brought from Grace’s dungeons. Eudora listens, enraptured, and nearly kisses Lila goodbye before remembering herself. This is how she wins Diego.
Diego finds out Klaus is alive from Eudora and is angry at her for using Klaus’ life as leverage, deciding to go see for himself. He overhears some guards talking about it, and is running down to the dungeons when he slams right into someone. They pull back, curse words on Diego’s lips, and Diego is met with Klaus’ wide green eyes, looking at him with some sort of euphoric wonder.
Overjoyed, Diego clasps Klaus’ face in his hands and kisses him. Klaus laughs, loud and bright, and slings his still shackled hands up to loop his arms around Diego’s neck, kissing him again and again and again. Their reunion is interrupted by a loud clang, upon which they realize they’re still in the Handler’s castle. Diego wraps his arm around Klaus’ waist and they run together, but skid to a stop in the shadows in the Great Hall, freezing as they stare across the room at Five, whose memories are slamming back into him as he lays eyes on his parents for the first time in eight years.
Klaus makes for him, Diego not far behind, but just as Five takes a step forward, finally broken from his shock, the sound of the Handler’s stilettos clicking down the hall come from behind. Their eyes meet again, Klaus’ widening as he realizes what Five’s about to do, but Five just shakes his head, mouthing, I love you. He then reaches out with his hand and sweeps them out the door with a snap of his fingers, locking himself inside with the Handler once and for all.
Devastated at the loss of their son, again, Klaus and Diego wander through the night, only settling down once to sleep, Klaus’ head on Diego’s chest. They whisper about their son and each other until dawn, finally rising to continue their journey. Diego manages to use a stick to pick the lock on Klaus’ chains, and they head for Eudora’s camp, Diego finally agreeing to join now that he knows his son is trapped in the Handler’s hold.
With Diego in the fold, Eudora’s army is combat-ready in no time. Eudora makes her way to the woods, waiting for Lila, who has finally agreed to leave the Handler and join Eudora’s cause. But instead of Lila, the Handler comes, having found out about Lila’s little excursions and deciding it was time to put a stop to it. She captures Eudora, taking her back to the dungeon, and starts making the moves to enact her big plan.
Lila finds Eudora’s bow on the ground in the woods and rushes towards her camp to tell Diego the news.
The Handler goes to retrieve Vanya from her cave, ready to use her secret weapon. Sissy screams, trying to stop her, but the Handler shoves her back, Sissy knocking her head on a rock and going limp. Vanya, seeing this and Harlan hiding behind a tree, screams, all of her power letting loose at once and shattering the cave and the curse that traps her in it. The rubble nearly crushes the Handler, but she saves herself with a shield, though not before Vanya is able to escape with Sissy and Harlan, disappearing into the woods.
She makes her home at Eudora’s camp, where Lila now helps lead troops with Diego, scared for Eudora’s life. Klaus helps the healers, and brings them undead soldiers to improve their numbers, desperate to bring his son home. Allison and Ray have an unstoppable magic act, and Luther has his own legion of soldiers to lead. They finally feel they’re ready, marching towards their positions to surround the Handler’s castle, when winter suddenly falls over the land and Grace emerges from the trees, calm and as cold as ever.
Agnes is behind her, trembling. Klaus gently guides her to their side, remembering how she helped him escape. Diego stares down Grace, saddened beyond belief at who their mother has turned out to be. Grace tells Diego she’s disappointed in him - he was her greatest prodigy, the only one she truly believed was strong enough to be a good soldier, the only one who had given up love - an ice blast gathering in her hand, ready for Diego’s heart. And then suddenly, Ben is in front of her, his eyes full of sorrow as he whispers her name - Hey Momma.
Grace’s blast desintigrates in her hand. She stares at the ghost of her long-dead son, tearing up, and falls to her knees as winter extinguinshes into dust around her. She sobs into her hands, apologizing over and over for all she’s done to them, and is shocked when Diego touches her shoulder gently, gazing at her with soulful eyes. Help us win this war, Momma, he says softly. Help us, and all is forgiven. She swallows, and nods, and takes his hand, walking with them into battle.
They march to the castle. Lila saves Eudora from the dungeons, who kisses her through the bars - I knew you’d come for me. Diego is leading one legion up against the back while Allison, Ray, and Luther lead legions in on all other sides. Vanya’s working on breaking down the magical shields the Handler’s put up. The Handler emerges, and the battle is in full swing.
Agnes is knocking out bitches left and right with her wooden cane, and Hazel is punching the lights out of anyone who gets too close. Cha-Cha closes in on Five, who’s caught up in defending Dolores, and strikes him with a spell that’s blocked by Klaus. Klaus, with fire in his eyes, steps in front of a wide-eyed Five with glowing hands and a morbid grin. Not my son, you bitch, he hisses, and proceeds to beat the shit out of Cha-Cha while Five grins and whoops before running off to help Diego.
Eventually it comes down to the Handler in the throne room. Her legions falling, she prepares to oblierate everyone with her powers, but Grace enters the room, ready to stop her. They engage in an epic battle of gold and ice, in which Grace is fatally wounded by the Handler. She uses the last of her power and strength to impale the Handler on an icicle, watching with a smile as Diego brings a battleaxe down on the Handler’s neck, Grace’s eyes fluttering closed.
The kingdoms are reunited under Allison’s common rule. She rules alone, though married to both Ray and Luther, and her siblings make their homes in her court. A statue of Grace spins in the courtyard on the other side of Dolores and Ben, all surrounded by flowers. Eudora and Lila remain unmarried, but travel the world together. Ben still talks with Klaus, who helps organize all the parties at the palace. Diego is the captain of the guard and Five enjoys childhood, though he is also regarded as a fierce warrior in his own right. Vanya and Sissy settle down in the woods with Harlan and Agnes and Hazel stay down in the villages on a farm (they have a lot of cows). They’re all very happy, and very safe. Well, until Leonard the king of tar shows up. But that’s a story for another day.
Oh, and there are dragons. Because reasons.

Differences
Pairing: Harry Styles x Reader
Warnings: vampirism
Summary: When the world is taken over by vampires, humans are kept on farms and in blood draining factories. When Harry meets Y/N he decides to save her from that fate, intoxicated by her scent, he wants her as his own live in meal. But Y/N hates vampires and Harry’s favoritism does not go unnoticed by other vampires who hate it when others stray from the status quo 
Tumblr media
“I’m at the factory my dear. I’ll be home after.” Harry hung up his phone, shoving it into his pocket as he got out of the car. 
Being a vampire in the twenty-first century had never been easier.
With the Revolution behind them, immortals had finally come out of hiding, taking over the world. It had been the New Founding Fathers, a council of the oldest, wisest vampires still alive, that had decided on starting the blood farms and factories. 
Harry owned two, a blood factory where humans were hooked up to machines that drained them of their blood. They were well fed before the blood letting would begin, then their bodies cremated and the ashes thrown out. The blood farms were where humans were kept for the first twenty one years of their lives. They worked for the vampires, mindless labor that needed done, they were bred, fed and then led to the slaughter. Harry owned one of each. 
He usually preferred to spend time on the farm, he knew it was hypocritical but he despised the blood factories. He missed the simpler times of enticing a victim, lulling them into a false sense of security and then draining them. Where was the excitement? Where was the thrill? It wasn’t there anymore. 
“Harry! Good to see ya!” Niall, an irish vamp with an affinity for the human sport of golf, clapped Harry on the back, a large grin on his face. Harry had trusted Niall to oversee the factory. Niall was a good vamp, kind, never looking to overthrow his authority. He wouldn’t have anyone else running the factory. 
“Hi Niall, how are things?” Harry asked as they walked through the main entrance. Harry looked around to see various vampires in white coats and humans hooked up to the heavy machines. The humans were in various states of consciousness and paleness as their blood was drained from their bodies. Harry shivered with disgust. 
“Never get used to it do ya?” Niall asked, opening the door to his office. Harry shook his head. 
“Sometimes I miss the good old days,” Harry said, collapsing in the seat across from Niall. 
Y/N held onto her sister tightly, burying her face in the girl’s neck. They’d been in the truck for ages, someone had thrown up, a few had peed. It was hot and crowded and everyone looked as sickly as they felt.
“Sissy how much longer?” Y/N whimpered, she felt Anna grip her tighter, rubbing soothing circles into her back. 
“Not much longer Y/N. Just hold on. I’m gonna do a cartwheel when we get there. Stretch my legs.” Y/N had lived on the farm with her parents and twin sister most of her life. When her parents were reassigned the girls were five years old. They took care of one another and raised each other. Now that they were twenty one they were grateful. Many of the others with them would be relocated alone, but not them. They were in this together.
The truck finally came to a stop. Y/N sighed in relief as did others, when they heard the lock outside be lifted and saw the door opened. Y/N shielded her eyes from the brightness of the sun, she couldn’t remember when she had last seen it, but the sky was blue and the air was fresh. For the first time in a long time hope bloomed in her heart. Maybe this new farm would be great.
The hope that had sparked was immediately snuffed out when she was yanked down from the truck with her sister. 
She had heard rumors of blood factories. But they had always been just that on the farm, rumors. Now her blood ran cold as she looked up at the giant grey building surrounding her. Blood factories were the last place humans were sent according to rumors. It was where the vampires took them to die. 
“Anna!” Y/N screamed as she felt her sister’s hand ripped from her own. One of the vampires slapped her hard, the sound echoing across the lot as the group was split up, some going left and others going right. 
Y/N hated them. Always had. They had been human once. Could they not see that the only difference between them was a pulse? Sure a few vampires felt that way, the system was horribly broken. Humans were at the bottom of the food chain, expendable for the greater good. One of the vampires gripped the underside of Y/N’s arm, tugging her to a large smokestack, she did her best to hold back her tears. She would never let those bastards see her cry. 
“And that’s about it. Two more truck loads worth will be sent out today. Everything is going good.” Harry nodded, legs crossed, elbows on his knees and fingers against his pursed lips. Business was booming, as it always would, human blood was a necessity. 
“I don’t thank you enough for all you do here Ni,” Harry said sincerely. Niall grinned. 
“Just give me a raise and we’ll call it even.” Harry chuckled, getting to his feet. “I’ll walk you out.”
He smelt it as soon as Niall opened the door. 
It was honey, and lavender and roses, maybe a little bit of dirt, something earthy. But it had his fangs ready to come out and venom filling his mouth. Niall looks at him, concerned with Harry’s sudden stillness. 
“Do you...do you smell that?” Harry asked, his eyes wide, scanning the factory floor, looking for the scent he was dying to have a taste of. He hadn’t felt such a rush in years, his fingers twitched. 
“No,” Niall said confused. “Are you alright?” Harry didn’t answer. He let his nose lead him as he walked down the isles of humans. If he had a heartbeat it would have picked up tenfold. 
Y/N struggled, she kicked and fought with the vampires that held her down, trying to place the IV in her. 
“Just give her a sedative.”
“No way, it’ll taint the blood.”
“I’m sure the vamps that love to get high won’t mind.”
“You just want to put in the least amount of work possible-”
“Hey!” Y/N stopped struggling, looking up wide eyed and desperate. The vampire who spoke was beautiful. She may hate them, but she could admit that. Bright green eyes, perfectly red lips, pale skin like marble and beautiful curly brown hair. He wore a simple black button up and black trousers. When he had spoken it was with authority and the vampires holding her had stopped what they were doing without a second thought. “Let her come to me.”
“Harry what-” another vampire, one who stood behind Harry, spoke, but Harry held up his hand, never breaking eye contact with the girl. He lifted his other hand, motioning to her.
“Come pet.” Y/N cringed inwardly at the pet name, but did as she was told once the other vampires released her. She walked up to him, refusing to look away. She would not be intimidated. 
Harry looked down at the girl fondly. She smelled like heaven and he wanted nothing more than to drink her dry right there and now. He reached up, keeping his eyes on hers as he brushed his cold hand against her flushed cheek. She didn’t move, didn’t shiver as others had. She was stubborn, determined to not be afraid of him. He liked that. He liked it a lot. 
“Harry?” Niall asked again. Harry slowly turned his eyes away from hers to look at his friend. He wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders. 
“I’m taking this one with me mate.” Harry said with firm matter of factness. Niall only nodded while the other two vampires sighed with relief. The girl however, was not pleased. And she made it known. 
She shoved herself away from Harry, crossing her arms over her chest. 
“I’m not going anywhere with you, filthy blood sucker!” Harry grinned, he couldn’t help it. No way she could overpower him, it was quite...cute. 
“You’re a fighter,” he said, reaching out and wrapping his arm around her waist. He tilted her chin up with his hand, forcing her to look into his eyes as they began to glow red. “I like that about you.” he didn’t even know her name. But she was going to be a fun one, he could tell. As she gazed into his eyes her body began to slump, she closed her eyes and he lifted her into his arms. Niall was shaking his head, laughing. 
“Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to play with your food?” Harry shook his head, joining in the laughter as Niall led him to his car and helped him set the girl in her seat properly. 
“You know I’ve never been very good at behaving.”

29/10/19 : TEDDY BOYS. HAUL GIRLS. #1
What are they? 
Teddy Boy: (in the 1950s) a young man of a subculture characterised by a style of dress based on Edwardian fashion (typically with drainpipe trousers, bootlace tie, and hair slicked up in a quiff) and a liking for rock-and-roll music.
Haul Girl: A girl or women who makes a haul video.
The revolution will not be televised. 
youtube
The tv shows you what it wants to show you.
Television tells us what the people who run the TV stations want us to know. But social media today sometimes provides an alternative.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Subculture - Under/Beneath 
We are looking today at youth and subcultures… their historicity and their contexts, and where we are with what might be called subcultures and youth cultures today.
GUIDE TO THE CULTS
Tumblr media
A genuine piece from the mirror in the 1980s.
youtube
Sex Pistols : This is one of the most infamous moments on television. Today it seems tame, but in 1976 this was enough to get the presenter fired.
Tumblr media
Like Duchamp's 'ready mades' - manufactured objects which qualified as art because he chose to call them such, the most unremarkable and inappropriate items - a pin, a plastic clothes peg, a television component, a razor blade, a tampon - could be brought within the province of punk (un)fashion...
Dick Hebdige - Subculture: The Meaning of Style
Hebdige’s book has long been consider the authorative text on subculture.
In the book he discusses the ready made aesthetics of punk. Punk was the first reaction to the developing politics of Thatcher and Reagan… here a refusal to take part in business as normal led to music that sounded amateur and fresh… the opposite of the progressive rock that had dominated the mid 1970s and early 80′s. 
Vivienne Westwood
Objects borrowed from the most sordid of contexts found a place in punks' ensembles; lavatory chains were draped in graceful arcs across chests in plastic bin liners. Safety pins were taken out of their domestic 'utility' context and worn as gruesome ornaments through the cheek, ear or lip...fragments of school uniform (white bri-nylon shirts, school ties) were symbolically defiled (the shirts covered in graffiti, or fake blood; the ties left undone) and juxtaposed against leather drains or shocking pink mohair tops.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jamie Red and others made zines that could be assembled in this same way, collaging and making work that felt it could have been made in the house, and often was.
Tumblr media
Subcultures
Subcultures are tribal, bringing people together to form loose relations outside of the mainstream.
Different subcultures:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even subcultures have subcultures… specific types of goth (steampunk, lolita) rude boys, K Pop sub genres, grunge punk rock etc
Once about a specific youth culture movement based around the disco music of the 1970s, clubbing subculture developed into rave culture in the late 80s and 90s, and has become a mainstream movement in the last few years. 
Tumblr media
Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore, Mark Leckey, 1999
youtube
“Something as trite and throwaway and exploitative as a jeans manufacturer can be taken by a group of people and made into something totemic, and powerful, and life-affirming.”
Subcultures are about a sense of belonging, often to people who feel excluded or disenfranchised from the mainstream.
youtube
Cosplay - form of subculture 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Joker and Harlequin are both characters who live for misrule, and both of them come from characters in the commedia dell’arte.
Harlequin relates directly to Harley Quinn… the Lord of Misrule was the peasant who was given the task of making sure that Xmas revellers got very drunk and very naughty.
Tumblr media
The World Turned Upside Down
These characters link back to the ideas of the carnival, a time when the world was turned upside down. Christmas was initialy this kind of festival. People didn’t know if they would make it through the winter, so they made merry whilst they could. In the carnival Kings become Jokers, Jokers became kings. 
Tumblr media
Carnival extracts all individuals from non-carnival life, non-carnival states and because there are no hierarchical positions during carnival, ideologies which manifest the mind of individuals cannot exist.
Tumblr media
...And finally in a few relatively rare instances, we find an extreme form of revelry in which the participants play-act at being precisely the opposite of what they really are; men act as women, women as men, kings as beggars, servants as masters, acolytes as bishops. In such situations of true orgy, normal life is played in  all manners of sins such as incest, adultery, transvestitism, sacri- lege, and lese-majeste treated as the order of the day...
Edmund R. Leach, Rethinking Anthropology
In Rabelais and His World (1965), Mikhail Bakhtin likens the carnivalesque to the type of activity that often takes place in the carnivals of popular culture. In the carnival, according to Bakhtin, social hierarchies of everyday life—their etiquettes, and normal structures—are turned on their head.
Court jesters become kings, kings become beggars; opposites are mingled (fact and fantasy, heaven and hell).
Tumblr media
Drag Cultures
Tumblr media
Much in the same way that Madonna, undeniable icon though she is, in no way invented voguing, neither did the queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race invent the concept of "shade", "realness" or any of the other essential sayings liberally adopted wholesale by the internet. But what the show has done is continually provide a potted queer history. Whether it’s through highlighting ball culture, trans activism, gender fluidity, or queens like the legendary Lady Bunny; or simply by allowing the contestants to talk about their lived experience, the show has put an all too rare slice of gay and trans history in American (and the world’s) living rooms and laptops.
Drag Race has brought a subculture into the mainstream. It has brought secret languages into modern parlay.
From RuPaul raising a pair of opera glasses to say archly, “I can’t wait to see how this pans out”, to season four queen Latrice Royale’s “the shaaaaade of it all”, social media’s gif game has been vastly bolstered by nine seasons of this show. A gif reaction needs to encapsulate maximum emotion, drama, and appearance – and the queens on Drag Race have all three in spades. Tumblr couldn’t create gifs fast enough in the early seasons, and the joy of so many strong characters, and sound-bites, means that there is a reaction for absolutely every occasion. Season 6 winner Bianca Del Rio named one of her world tours after her own much-gif’d catchphrase, “Not today Satan”.
Memes and online culture have helped the show become part of the everyday.
Historically, "sissy" has been used as an insult against feminine-seeming men. Ru-Paul’s Drag Race not only reclaims the word – “now sissy that walk” is the phrase said at the top of each catwalk, usually preceding a demonstration of almost gob-smacking creativity – but shows that adopting a truly feminine character requires massive amounts of charisma and self-confidence. The show is wildly popular with women, not simply because of the incredible looks and transformations served by each queen, but because it is a celebration of feminine mystique in all its forms.
It has helped reclaim a sense of agency in an era of toxic masculinity.
The little show that could has turned into a global behemoth, with tours around the world each year, and an annual convention in Los Angeles. Last year, a second US convention launched in New York, while London hosted the first European edition, DragWorld UK, which saw a number of the show’s queens and RuPaul’s right-hand judge, Michelle Visage, holding court. And as fabulous, glamorous and downright funny as the queens are, the real joy came from seeing the response of teenagers to meeting their idols. RuPaul and Visage are giving hope to lost kids around the world, whatever their gender, ethnic background or sexuality. By sharing their stories, the Drag Race contestants are giving comfort and inspiration to viewers, as well as swathes of entertainment.
The show has brought disenfranchised, often hidden cultures into the open. And given people something that not only entertains, but also empowers.
The difference between Drag Race US and Drag Race UK summed up in one perfect tweet…
With RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finally airing on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, it’s got fans realising just how different the two editions of the show are… International fans were subjected to the colourful world of British slang and swear words, leaving dozens bemused about what exactly the UK queens are actually saying…. But in a viral tweet shared by one of the British queens, it’s managed to capture the crucial difference between the US and UK versions of Drag Race.
Sum Ting Wong shared a screenshot of a Facebook post that so beautifully sums up the two shows:
Tumblr media
Pink News JOSH MILTON OCTOBER 8, 2019
Drag is culturally derived, and finds its forms based on local customs. In the UK drag has a relationship to Vaudeville and play, which means it does something different to the american show. It is less about the act of putting on a show, and more about the comedic, slightly catty relations that we have come to associate with saturday evening tv here in the UK.
But that doesn’t mean it is mean in itself… it still brings a subculture to a mainstream audience. Remember, if I talked about this with you in the 1990s, I would face prosecution under Section 28
"shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship".
New Subcultures
Tumblr media
‘It's hard not to be struck by the sensation that, emos and metalheads aside, what you might call the 20th-century idea of a youth subculture is now just outmoded. The internet doesn't spawn mass movements, bonded together by a shared taste in music, fashion and ownership of subcultural capital: it spawns brief, microcosmic ones.
In fact, the closest thing to the old model of a subculture I've come across is Helena and the haul girls. Their videos are about conspicuous consumption: a public display of their good taste, carefully assembled with precise attention to detail. When you put it like that they sound remarkably like mods.’

The year is 2045. The southern United States lives under BLACK RULE. All white males are sissified. White women live to serve BLACK KINGS in vast reproduction facilities. Welcome to America's BLACK FUTURE.Alex Lang remembers life before the revolution - before the government-issued hormones, the sissy wigs, frilly lingerie, and mandatort chastity. He lives on the war-torn outskirts of New Africa, where he hides his beautiful blonde step-sister Kaylee from the clutches of the brutal New Jim Crow (and one of his former teachers, the first black president of the United States).From the early 1990s to the end, Lang, a white Southern white, was fighting to protect his family. He was working for Black Panther (which he did) and other political party organizations. In a bid to help black workers and communities fight the war in the New Jim Crow South, Black Panther was the only organization that raised money by hiring and firing white workers. Lang was fighting for what he called a "white working class" to stop a "Black Liberation Movement" in the South. But he was wrong about the war and the struggle.Lang was also an agrarian socialist who wanted to save and establish a farm and a community center. He was an organizer for the black liberation movement, which was led by Jim Crow black workers, led by Rosa Parks, and led by Jim Crow whites, who were also organizing with Black Panther.Lang was "Black" for the same reasons that a farmer would be, or a baker would be, for being black-armed. White man was white enough, but they were not. What is the difference? White man and woman were both White. They were born in the wrong society. Black man was Black. You cannot find Black man or woman who has the same white identity. If Black man is male, then White man is Black. White woman is Black. As a former civil rights leader and activist, I am aware that many of my readers were wrong to support Black Panthers who fought for Black Panthers. I did think that Black Panthers were fighting to stop the War in the South, because Black Panther is one of the most important social movements that is fighting for an economic recovery that is on hold for those in Black neighborhoods.Now, I have had many readers who would say to me, "It's not my thing, I was born in the wrong people place. So what's the big difference?", in fact, most of my readers who were raised in a New African War-era plantation in the Mississippi Valley would say that white people have a right to be white and Black people a right to be Black. It is not a question of their color or of how much they own. What matters is that they are white or black or black-hating black people.I am, however, aware that most of my readers are being deceived by a lie

Redefining Language in Marlon Riggs’ “Anthem”
“Thomas Silverstein
Marlon T. Riggs’ experimental short film Anthem (1992) represents black gay love as a method of challenging normativity. Riggs considers black queerness as a manner of restructuring language, and thus communication. Roland Barthes (1957) claims that myth is a form of speech. So, black gay language becomes a way to reclaim cultural meaning, to retell it from the perspectives of those who speak it.
Tumblr media
A voiceover says: “I must remake my history, rewrite history, redecline a past and conjugate a future. Rearranging syllables is revolution.” (Riggs, 1992) This line of speech overlays images of black men kissing, and caressing, and dancing with one another. The free movement of the black gay male body represents sexual and bodily autonomy. Riggs creates a space in which the expression of queer bodies of color is an act of separating oneself from dominant narratives.
The line “I must… redecline a past and conjugate a future” (Riggs, 1992) expresses a need to relearn one’s own history separate from dominant, hegemonic discourses. It demands that a language created by one’s oppressors is an inadequate way to express oppressed experience. For Riggs, among others, the body is a site of resistance. The body is not unmarked by language. Rather, is a language of itself, one that is communicated not with words, but with movement and action.
Tumblr media
We later see this in a scene of poet Essex Hemphill reading his poem “American Wedding.“ Hemphill reads: “Every time we kiss, we confirm the new world coming.” (Riggs, 1992) This new world of free queer love is inevitable; however, it is vital that it be brought forward through gay sex acts. Gay men “confirm” a queer utopia in that they practice the body in an explicitly queer way. By expressing one’s own body in a queer way, one brings revolution into the physical realm. It is to use one’s body in a way that defies politicization. 
As Riggs wrote in his “Black Macho Revisited: Reflections of a Snap! Queen,” sex between black men defies all definitions of “black,” “gay,” and “man.” If one is intersectionally marginalized, they are rejected as much by members of their own communities as the ones who oppress them. He refers to himself as not a “Black Gay Man” but as a “Negro Faggot,” writing: “I cannot be Black. A strong, proud, "Afrocentric" Black man is resolutely heterosexual [...] Hence I remain a Negro. My sexual difference is considered of no value [...] Hence I remain a sissy, punk, faggot. I cannot be a Black Gay Man because, by the tenets of Black Macho, Black Gay Man is a triple negation.” (Riggs, 1991, 390) Because of the discrimination black gay men face within their communities, they are marked by negative cultural connotations so much that they become identities. 
One could forward a critique of Riggs’ claim that he is “negated” by being a man by pointing out that black men do receive male privilege. However, he is more critiquing the limited possibilities of manhood themselves. Riggs is in the interest of separating masculinity from maleness, arguing that one can be effeminate and still retain manhood. One voice in the film chants, “Parade it, proudly! Flaunt it like a man!” (Riggs, 1992)
Tumblr media
“Parading” and “flaunting” are two of the most common stereotypes of the flamboyant gay man. The truth about effeminate gay men is that they are seen, culturally, as women. Riggs is simultaneously telling gay men to be both men and women, saying that recognizing an inner femininity is a key part to being a man. To do feminine things “like a man” is to put into question what can and cannot be done by men in the first place. Anything can be done by a man, if he is unfixed from masculinity. 
Anthem differs from mainstream cinema in almost all ways - arguably most importantly in that it comments on black gay love by a black gay man. Riggs’ lived experience allows him to portray other black gay men from a point of view that does not objectify them or present them stereotypically. In fact, due to Riggs’ identity he is in a position to critique such stereotypes, as seen above. He does not appeal to a mass audience, and thus is not tethered to “respectable” ways of being black and gay. In fact, he demands that black gay men are worthy of respect because of their specific experience.
Riggs’ film is one that I find I relate to on many levels. One important fact to note is that I am white, and thus I cannot specifically relate to the racial identity and sensibilities that Riggs conveys. However, I understand Riggs’ need to forge a specifically queer way of living and understanding the world. It is true that queer people see and do things differently - it is this that defines queerness in the first place. Riggs’ desire to “rearrange syllables” expresses a need of all queer people: to rethink the ways we communicate in order to make speech itself queer.

TUA DISNEY AUs: Snow White (Pt. VII)
(please understand that by AU, I mean they share an incredibly small amount of things in common with the original source material which I barely remember BUT the “story” takes place in the setting of the film) (not to be misleading or anything :p)
(BEWARE: abuse?, curses (like the magicky kind not the R-rated movie kind), attempted murder, etc.)
(If you can handle watching Umbrella Academy, this will be fine for you.)
Tumblr media
(Snow White) Lila hates her mother. Like, hates her. But as much as she’s fantasized about killing her, she can’t. Not quite yet. Because Lila doesn’t want her throne unless she can have Eudora by her side - and Eudora thinks killing people is wrong. Ugh, such a prude.
(Prince Florian) Eudora visits Lila every day in the garden. Their love affair is torrid and exciting, and Eudora has half a mind to ask Lila to run away with her. But she would, and the people here would be left desolate under the queen’s rule. Eudora can’t have that.
(Evil Queen) The Handler just wants her bitch of a daughter to die. Lila can’t be the purest evil on the earth, that’s the Handler! She’s the most evil! And the most beautiful, if she may say so herself. But no matter. She’ll just curse Lila away somehow - after all, she did that to the seven royal children of her late husband Reginald (ugh) and his beautiful wife Grace (even ugh-er), and nobody’s even noticed they’re gone. (Okay, fine, yes, it’s because of memory magic.) So sending Lila off with the same sort of goodbye really shouldn’t be too hard.
(Seven Dwarves) The Hargreeves are known as the “children of all” in legend. Luther, the strongest of all; Diego, the bravest of all; Allison, the cleverest of all; Klaus, the fairest of all; Five, the coldest of all; Ben, the kindest of all; and Vanya, the calmest of all. They were known to be extraordinarily talented when they were royal, and have not lost those powers, but have been cursed to live in the woods alone, banished by the Handler. She cursed them to lose their most precious traits: Luther is suddenly weak and frail, Diego is scared of goddamn everything, Allison is dumb as a post, Klaus is the ugliest damn thing you’ve ever seen, Five is so easily hurt by words none of them speak around him, Ben is cruel and vicious, and Vanya panics almost once every hour. They live in misery, but at least they live together.
(Huntsman) Hazel let the Hargreeves siblings go. He lets Lila go too. He’s got a wife waiting for him in the woods - a lovely baker named Agnes. She helps take care of the Hargreeves children with a little help from Hazel and Cha-Cha, Hazel’s partner.
The day Lila shows up, cursed to always tell the truth since she’s always been such a good liar, the Hargreeves start to find themselves in perilous situations. Cha-Cha keeps trying to kill Five and Klaus for some dumb reason. Diego fights constantly with Lila and Eudora, who’s come to the woods to try and break Lila’s curse and banishment. Vanya injures herself outside one day and is taken in by a herbalist Sissy, who’s exceedingly kind and yet terrified of the beast Carl who lives in the cave nearby and comes for Sissy’s son Harlan every night. Allison meets Ray, the chief leader of the wood nymphs, and becomes torn between him and Luther. Finally, Ben is struck down as a martyr in the kingdom’s revolution, but his curse breaks with his death and he is once again the kind brother they all knew before (with the help of Klaus’ powers, of course).
In the end, Vanya stays in the woods with Sissy, and Luther and Allison stay in the woods with Ray. Lila realizes she doesn’t want to be queen and marries Eudora in an extravagant wedding made for a princess, then books it with her new wife to be a pirate near the newly discovered isles. Diego becomes king in her place and finally marries Klaus, who takes great delight out of arranging all the parties and balls as “queen”. Five holes up in the castle and learns all kinds of magic, both light and dark, in the pursuit of knowledge and protecting his siblings. Ben wanders the castle with Klaus and goes down to the dungeons once a week to make fun of the Handler in her rusty shackles and dirty night dress. Life is good.

Sissy - Jacob Tobia
A heart-wrenching, eye-opening, and giggle-inducing memoir about what it's like to grow up not sure if you're (a) a boy, (b) a girl, (c) something in between, or (d) all of the above. "When the political reality facing this country seems dark, we need shinier, sparklier thinkers in the public eye. With a signature style matched only by their wit, Jacob fits that bill perfectly." --Alan Cumming From the moment a doctor in Raleigh, North Carolina, put "male" on Jacob Tobia's birth certificate, everything went wrong. Alongside "male" came many other, far less neutral words: words that carried expectations about who Jacob was and who Jacob should be, words like "masculine" and "aggressive" and "cargo shorts" and "SPORTS!" Naturally sensitive, playful, creative, and glitter-obsessed, as a child Jacob was given the label "sissy." In the two decades that followed, "sissy" joined forces with "gay," "trans," "nonbinary," and "too-queer-to-function" to become a source of pride and, today, a rallying cry for a much-needed gender revolution. Through revisiting their childhood and calling out the stereotypes that each of us have faced, Jacob invites us to rethink what we know about gender and offers a bold blueprint for a healed world--one free from gender-based trauma and bursting with trans-inclusive feminism. From Jacob's Methodist childhood and the hallowed halls of Duke University to the portrait-laden parlors of the White House, Sissy takes you on a gender odyssey you won't soon forget. Writing with the fierce honesty, wildly irreverent humor, and wrenching vulnerability that have made them a media sensation, Jacob shatters the long-held notion that people are easily sortable into "men" and "women." Sissy guarantees that you'll never think about gender--both other people's people's and your own --the same way again. http://bit.ly/2VvmnOW
