Susan Ivanova...what a woman. She's Russian Jewish. She was a rabid fan of modern communist literature at 13. She's bisexual. She's allergic to feelings. Her life is a series of crushing tragedies. She doesn't use contractions but only half the time. She is everything to me.

BABYLON 5 1993 – 1998・1x01 Midnight on the Firing Line

Babylon 5 really is a masterclass in balancing both the overarching plot and the Monster of the Week. There's such an emphasis on the development of characters and their relationships over time, and you get so excited to see characters who haven't really interacted in a while to talk to each other again because they *are* growing over time so you're like "oh damn, G'kar has basically gone from the guy who is caught up in the most insane old man yaoi shenanigans to Nelson Mandela. And now he's talking to Commander Ivanova for the first time in like 3 episodes, this is gonna be good."

Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

I meant to have this out yesterday. Happy belated pride. :)

[sunflowersosa]

I'm glad you all like the Nigeria Pride post!

Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.

I'm also not used to this much attention, lol

Thank you all!

It is genuinely INSANE to me the way Starsky & Hutch was ripped away from queer culture. Here's a show where everyone, cast crew and audience, knew what was happening and then all the queerness gets erased from culture because people didn't want to deal with it. Imagine what a difference it might have made to all those 80s and 90s kids who were told the show was about muscle cars and womanizers. That's what I thought the show was about until I watched it and I study TV for a living. I thought it was a silly goofy 70s testosterone-fueled show. The idea that we had this complete story and work of art and it got totally discarded is outrageous and heartbreaking.

Make S&H a cornerstone of historical queer representation in classes is what I'm saying.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

happy pride month from your neighborhood gray!! I forget that asexuality has been severely misrepresented and that a lot of people don’t actually know what it is as a result so here is an overview of what asexuality is, what it’s not, and how acephobic is represented. there is so much more to asexuality than just this. I didn’t even mention the medicalization of asexuality! 

I highly rec scretspiderlady on Twitter because she writes a lot about the ace experience and has many comprehensive threads. I also rec Yasmin Benoit, a Black aroace lingerie model who is fighting misinformation about asexuality and shedding light on racism within the asexual community. if you’re interested in more resources feel free to dm me!

EDIT: I updated the slide that refers to asexuality as “aspec” to “acespec.” The term aspec refers to the a community as a whole – both asexuals and aromantics – while acespec refers to the asexual spectrum and arospec referes to the aromantic spectrum. You can see this mirrored in the terms acephobia (experienced by aces), arophobia (experienced by aros), and aphobia (experienced by both aces and aros). Thank you to those of you who tagged this post with their correction!

EDIT 2: now with a text-only option!

Im glad they made up romance for stories and music but can you imagine how scary it would be to deal with all that for real

it’s actually kind of crazy that the first avenger went ‘yah bucky is jealous. but it’s not because he wants to be captain america or to get the girl, it’s because steve isn’t only his anymore’

[imposterogers]

he’d been steve’s protector, his provider, the only person besides sarah rogers who saw how special he was. in the back of his head he could consider steve his partner and treat him like one (the art classes the movies) without taking the jump & admitting his feelings bc there was never the risk of losing him. now the whole saw him, and wanted him. what place did bucky have? how could he compete?

[imposterogers]

and yet even brainwashed, bucky was the only one who saw the guy from brooklyn and not captain america. he was still the one who only saw steve. amnesiac and he still knew steve
