I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Then bring me luck
the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work
So I made a Hozier reading list...
This is what I have so far.
For some books I'm still missing sources, and I know it's not complete or ✨️Aesthetic✨️. But if there is anything that you think should be on there, let me know.
Hozier b like "hey girl what if the ceaseless battle between unconquerable suffering (as a consequence of existence), and the indomitable human spirit, was just. in ur earphones. What if the constant tug of war between the limitlessness of love and inevitability of heartache was literally injected into u via sound. Like. just playing in ur ears for an hour. Take my hand. Let's take a stroll through hell, baby :) wouldn't that be gre- why are you crying"
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995)
Dir. Beeban Kidron
This was such a formative movie
This shit was revolutionary for the mid-90s. Among other things it helped me understand that transgender and cross-dressing were completely separate things.
To this day, I am in awe of the fact that Patrick Swayze not only campaigned hard to get the audition, not only auditioned in dress and makeup, but spent most of the day leading up to the audition walking around LA in dress and makeup.
This was a man who could sing, dance, act, ride a horse, fight, and walk in heels, he had nothing to prove to anyone, and he is MISSED.
Okay, I’m not done feeling about this.
If you’re younger, you may not know Patrick Swayze; he was Taken From Us in 2009. But Patrick Swayze was an icon of masculinity. Men were willing to watch romantic movies because Patrick Swayze was in them.
Patrick Swayze was fucking beefcake.
And this man didn’t just agree to do a movie where the only time he’s not actually in drag is the first three minutes, which involve stepping out of the shower, doing make up, and getting Dressed. He has ONE LINE that is delivered in a man’s voice, and it’s not during those three minutes.
And if you watch those three minutes, you see a stark difference between his portrayal of Miss Vida Bohéme and Wesley Snipes as Noxeema Jackson. (I am not criticizing Snipes’ performance. They were different roles.) Noxeema was a comedy character. Chi-Chi was a comedy character. But Miss Vida Bohéme was a dramatic role, played by a dramatic powerhouse.
When Vida sits down in front of the mirror, she sees a man. And she doesn’t like it.
Then she puts her hair up, and her face lights up.
“Ready or not,” she says. “Here comes Mama.”
And while Noxeema is having fun with her transformation (at one point breaking into a giggling fit after putting on pantyhose), Vida is simply taking pleasure in bringing out her true self. And when she’s done, she sees this:
And you can FEEL her pride.
All of this from an actor who, up to this point, walked on to the screen and dripped testosterone.
the fact that some of you history-ignorant children in the notes are trying to shit on groundbreaking historical queer cinema because it doesn’t meet 2021 standards is infuriating. sit down, shut the fuck up, and listen to the elders in the room for fucking once
This. If you have never lived in a world where queerness was universally pathologized and criminalized to the point that even IMAGINING a world where it wasn’t constituted a radical and potentially dangerous act, you don’t have any business judging those of us who have for how we survived it and how we found (or still find) comfort in the few imperfect representations we got.
You don’t have to like it. You probably aren’t capable of “getting” it. And to be honest, I don’t want you to! I am glad that young queer people will never know exactly what it was like “back then.” But what you also will not do is refuse to learn your own history and then shit on everything that came before you, because like it or not what came before you is the reason you will never have to get what it was like back then.
On Wesley Snipes’s role Noxeema and John Leguizamo as Chi-Chi Rodriguez.
“I grew up in the ‘70s and even within the street culture, there was a lot of flamboyancy,” Snipes told TODAY of his perception of drag before filming. “Pimps wore the same furs as theprostitutes wore.
“Some of the great musicians of the world, like Parliament-Funkadelic, were very androgynous. So it wasn’t really new for me to see men dressed as women or men dressed as drag queens.”
Snipes attended the famed LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts and then State University of New York at Purchase. He wasn’t a dance major, but most of his friends were. “That exposed me to the world of glam, vogue, drag, transgender and gay people, LGBTQ… but it wasn’t in fashion those days. But it existed and I was around it.”
Not only did “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” pave the way for “To Wong Foo,” so did films like the 1968 documentary “The Queen” and “Paris Is Burning,” the 1990 doc that chronicled ball culture of New York and the various Black and queer communities involved in it.
Even though he was known for his action roles, Snipes’ portrayal of Noxeema wasn’t the first time he played a drag queen. In 1986, he made his Broadway debut in the play “Execution of Justice,” playing Sister Boom Boom, a real-life AIDS activist and drag nun who acted as the show’s voice of conscience. Snipes pointed out, “Sister Boom Boom did not have Noxeema’s makeup kit.”
On whether he got any pushback for stepping into Noxeema’s pumps, he said, “Not so much professionally but the streets weren’t feeling it, and there were certain community circles. The martial arts community… they were not feeling it at all.”
“In fact, when the movie came out and they would come down the street, I would see them in Brooklyn sometimes, they started listing all my movies. I noticed they would always skip that one. I would correct them, ‘Now you don’t got the full count!’”
Lesser-known than his co-stars at the time, Lequizamo didn’t really anticipate becoming a transgender icon, but he did know that they were working on something special when they started filming.
“Drag didn’t really exist in movies,” Lequizamo, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for his portrayal, told TODAY. “There were straight men pretending to be women to get out of trouble or into trouble but this was not that. I was trying to make Chi-Chi a real life trans character and Patty and Wesley were trying to be real drag queens.” Never fully articulated in the film, Chi-Chi Rodriguez has always been perceived as transgender, something that ending up making an indelible mark on LGBTQ people in the late ‘90s as trans representation in media was limited.
“Chi-Chi was a trans icon, but she also showed us that gay men and trans women can both perform and work in drag side by side, and that those relationships are symbiotic,” Cayne explained.
“It was a powerful thing. I get lots of fan mail from LGBTQ teens telling me how my character helped them come out to their parents,” Leguizamo said. “They didn’t feel like they were seen, so that was a beautiful gift from the movie.”
Lequizamo also articulates that if “To Wong Foo” were cast today, a trans actor should be cast in his role. (And that just may happen, since Beane is developing a musical for Broadway.) “Anybody can play anything, but the playing field is not fair that way,” he said. “Not everybody is allowed to play everything. So until we get to that place, it is important for trans actors to get a chance to act which they don’t. In the project I’m doing, I’m making sure that the person playing trans is a trans person so we can make it legit, make it real. That just needs to be done right now.”

a monumental film in the library of queer history.
it was formative for modern society, too.
there are a lot of action fans out there who learned from their idols that respect doesn’t cost a damn thing to give. i know plenty of people who aren’t queer saw trans women and drag queens presented as people to them for the first time in wong fu. suddenly, strange and foreign queer identities that had only been presented to them as jokes if they’d even heard of them, seemed a little more relatable, and very human.
we’re all just people.
snipes, swayze, and leguizamo were willing to play people a lot of their fans didn’t respect yet or didn’t even know how to respect and demand they figure it the fuck out.
This is a HUGE reblog but I watched this as a little girl on cable TV and I’m so glad I did. GO WATCH THIS AS SOON AS YOU CAN
Just a note: I just checked Amazon because as far as I knew it’s $3.99 to rent everywhere but on Amazon you can rent it for only 99 cents! It’s more than worth it. Miss Vida Boheme is probably my favorite Patrick Swayze character ever, which is saying a lot considering the points mentioned above about him being the guy from Dirty Dancing and Roadhouse.

Hannibal season 2 behind the scenes and gag reel
sasuke thinking he has committed such unforgivable crimes. sasuke thinking he’s the only one who cares enough about his family to commit such crimes. he’s the only one who’s left. sasuke thinking his crimes make him susceptible to hatred. sasuke knowing his role as an avenger requires him to be hated - him being okay with this; thinking there’s no other way. sasuke being ready to take on the hatred of the entire world because they don’t understand and they’ll hate him and fuck all if they hate him; he’s an avenger.
BUT.
naruto saying “sasuke i understand what you did”. naruto saying “sasuke if you kill me i will have failed to save you from what the world has tried to do to you, so i’ll kill us both if it means you don’t succeed at being alone.” sasuke asking “what are you?” and naruto responding “i’m your friend” time and time again. naruto being the only one who understands. naruto being the only one who loves sasuke more than the world might hate him or see him as something unforgivable. naruto seeing sasuke only as sasuke and not as what the world might have tried to do to him.
AND THEN
sasuke saying. “i lost.” sasuke dying for naruto in spite of his own dream because it is the only way to say what he doesn’t have words for. sasuke saying “we’ve failed to die yet again” and being disappointed. naruto saying “don’t tell me it’s really heaven this time” before a sunrise with sasuke beside him. sasuke saying “i lost” because he realizes he will fail to be alone so long as naruto is alive. he will fail to be hated so long as naruto is alive. he will fail to be anything else but sasuke in naruto’s eyes.
every time they admit their faults or weaknesses or failures it is only to each other. they are the only two people in the world to understand each other as boys and not as jinchuuriki or uchiha/uzumaki or even as shinobi and that is the beauty to their bond. even after years without each other they approached each other with the same feelings they had when they were 12. their love and understanding of each other’s hearts literally transcends any existing bond in the manga and that’s why no one else can ever come close to what each one of them feels for the other.
Just saw a tiktok that changed my life forever, it was pointing out how you can hear Will dropping his gun right after being stabbed. There is a "thud" sound right there
Will accepting his punishment because he knew he deserved it. He didn't even try to defend himself even if he could.
Actually, this requires further analysis - which hand was Will holding the gun with and which hand did he grope Hannibal's shoulder with? If it's the same hand, we'll know he dropped the gun just to clutch at Hannibal.
I mean he could've dropped his gun from the shock of getting stabbed but that sounds less realistic than getting overwhelmed by homoerotic feelings.

Jimin - the expert with the anniversary calculator
But let’s be honest here….we knew that already, didn’t we?
*Disclaimer: This post is based on the theory that the 8th of November 2015 is a very meaningful day to JM and JK, a starting point perhaps.
He definitley knows his way around that calculator…
JM posted this drawing on 26 January 2018…
811 days from 8 November 2015.
Ahm…
Interesting day count. Interesting use of black and white (same colours we got to see on their rings in the recently released Dispatch clip), and the different glass sizes respectively.
And if you think this is a coincidence, a one of, well nope it’s not.
No way he calculated that on the spot, right? Perhaps his way to remember the numbers…
Whatever it is, he’s super cute.
So, 2315, do those numbers mean something? Why were K-JKKs going crazy about this?
Well dah - because the day he mentioned those numbers, in that specific order, March 10th 2022, well, that was exactly, on the dot, 2315 days from November 8th 2015.
Just one more example of JM and his amazing anniversary calculating skills.
8th November 2015. A date that keeps coming up time and time again with those two.
But why November 8th 2015?
Why do JKKs believe this is an important date for the two? Supposedly their anniversary.
A little (well, more like a lot) of detective work and back counting are the basis to this theory.
This date, it keeps coming up with those two.
Some examples over the years:
On November 8th 2015 JM and JK posted this cute post on Twitter.
Who knew, at the time, that this date meant something to those two boys.
On 15 February 2016 JK released his cover to Nothing like us.
Counting back from 15th Feb 2016 to 8 Nov 2015, surprise surprise:
100 days.
A milestone day in Korean dating culture - The 100th-day anniversary is one of the bigger celebrations – counting from the first day they got into an official relationship.
Several hours later JK posts:
1 year anniversary, 8 Nov 2016 they posted this:
2 year anniversary we have GCFT release date - 8 Nov 2017
We have JM’s post at 811 days, mentioned above.
Oh, and of course JM’s 2315 from the Seoul concert this year.
But that number - 11:8, it just keeps showing up in their posts on Twitter and IG as well.
And lately:
23:08 = 11:08 pm.
And then we also have 2+3+8=13
Interesting choice of numbers indeed JK.
A coincidence perhaps? If so, there are many coincidences when it comes to those two.
But if you ask me, I’d say that date, it means something to them. And JM, well he likes to show us that from time to time.
No wonder he knows his way around that anniversary calculator so well, lol.
Side note:
I have left out the 1108 room number theory during their Tokyo trip.
A lot of detective work went into this, but it’s just a theory, not proven.
Also, I left out a couple more posts from the two, on other days that are considered important like 300, 500, 1000 days.
On day 300, which fell on 3rd September 2016 JM posted a Pentatonix recommendation, cover to Can’t hold us by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
I don’t really know what to make of it, and if it has anything to do with the two. The lyrics aren’t especially telling.
Perhaps the fact that JM posted on that specific day something that isn’t related to the two is the most telling, it being during the period of their supposed Manilla fight.
There are a couple more selfies on other important dates, but as they are selfies of either and not obviously related to their relationship I haven’t added them to the mix.
I will never get over how romantic the 38th ending of Naruto Shippuden is
At first it shows Naruto and his friends. Everyone has a lantern that they let fly in the air. The lanterns symbolize their dreams, their souls and their hopes. The scene is full of warm light and each character seems unified with each other, like a big family. There are close-ups of a few of them, and then Naruto returns to the screen.
This shot shows Naruto with no one around. He stands surrounded by all the lanterns, surrounded by all the hopes and dreams of the people he has met in his life. The way Naruto puts his hands around the lantern makes it look like he's protecting it. Protect the fire burning inside the lantern, which can be his own, but can also be that of anyone he wishes to protect. Because dreams are what Naruto fights for. He then drops the lantern near him, and it flies up into the sky.
While the screen was filled with light a few seconds ago, this shot now shows Naruto partially surrounded by the darkness of the sky. He is isolated from his friends and the lanterns seem further away.
Then Naruto runs as the lanterns are swallowed by the darkness. Something in Naruto's mind makes him scared or even angry, and thus makes all the dreams he wanted go away. This "something" could be the fact that he lost a lot of people he cared about, or his constant loneliness since he was a child, or his doubts and insecurities in general, or even the hatred he harbors within him. ...it could be a lot of things. But whatever that thing is, it makes all the lanterns around him disappear.
At some point, Naruto pulls himself together, stops running, and closes his eyes. The lights are now far from him, barely visible. It seems like he's trying hard not to panic like he did earlier and concentrating on not giving in to the darkness. He clings to the last bit of hope he has left...
Suddenly, an intense brightness fills the screen and Naruto smiles. The editing is very quick, but it leaves us just enough time to wonder what exactly brought Naruto back to life, what gave him hope… And the answer follows shortly after.
It's Sasuke. Of course it's Sasuke. He wasn't there at the start of the Ending, and he was what Naruto was missing even with all the hopeful people around him. Sasuke is the bright future Naruto wishes for.
sns is so fucking unhinged and nobody will ever be them i’m sorry. you start the series and it’s like oh haha look at these goofy angsty rivals! they hate each other! then sasuke dies for naruto thirty chapters in giving up his dream of revenge and naruto goes batshit insane. now you’re like ah they’re friends i guess that’s cute! and sasuke is trying to kill naruto because he’s the most important person in his life which is . ok and it becomes the driving force of everything or something. sasuke leaves and naruto dedicates the rest of his life to bringing him back and you’re still a casual fan so ur like he’s doing it for the promise right? then orochimaru says sasuke is his and naruto goes batshit insane feral homicidal (again) and after that sasuke reappears and they have ??? like five different panels dedicated to them staring at each other??? and he jumps off a mountain and hugs naruto for some reasons just to whisper some gay shit in his ear kishimoto frankly needs to be jailed drawing this and keep that best friend nonsense going. anyways. you have sasuke become a convicted terrorist to which the normal people response is “ok we need to hunt him down” and when naruto learns they’re gonna hunt him down he starts screaming crying throwing up he has a panic attack he can’t breathe he’s falling in the snow he gets on his knees and begs them to spare his BFF. after having a meltdown over the thought of sasuke dying what may possibly be the natural coping mechanism any stable person would adapt? of course realising that if sasuke dies he can die too. so he sees sasuke again and after he attempts murdering sakura twice and expresses the intent to murder kakashi he’s like. i will bear the burden of your hatred and die with you hehe and if we both die you won’t be an uchiha and i won’t be the jinchuuriki to the nine tails and we’ll be able to understand each other better in a different lifetime! WE’LL MEET AGAIN IN THE AFTERLIFE BECAUSE NOT EVEN DEATH CAN DO US PART! and sasuke (just as insane as him) doesn’t even flinch he’s like what the fuck is wrong with you but then ok let’s fuckingggf die together on my god i will kill your first anyways . then they find out they are soulmates and get cute matching tattoos on their hands and decide to fight to the death once more because sasuke is back on his i will shoulder all the hatred of the world alone and i need to kill you because i love you more than anyone else in the world actually you’re the only person i love so you need to DIE and naruto is like I WILL NOT LET YOU SHOULDER THAT HATRED ALONE I WILL FREE YOU FROM THE PAIN and they fight and despite all the whatever weapons used in the war it’s a fuckinggg fistfight in which just as sasuke is about to inflict what he thinks is the last blow says “farewell… my one and only…………………. (very long pause to accentuate how heteronormative this next word is gonna be) FRIEND” and fucking stops using his sharingan because not even then he can record the image of naruto dying especially by his hand but naruto STOPS HIM LIKE A f cHAMP and they end up blowing each other’s arms off (rip the matchies) and as they’re bleeding to the fucking death sasuke is like you’re the only person that has never tried to severe their ties with me why do you go so far for me and naruto from the depths of comphet hell is like because you’re my FRIEND and sasuke being absolutely done with this bullshit is like ok what the fuck does that mean to you then and this is where it gets even gayer and relatable because naruto is like i don’t KNOW i just know that when you hurt i hurt and i just can’t take it and isn’t that the most gay experience thing ever? naruto knows what it feels like to have friends but what he feels for sasuke is so bone deep and unconventional that he cannot make sense of it and can only describe the pain it brings. after that sasuke CRIES LIKE THEYVE GOT ME SOOO FUCKED UP but you know what got me even more fucked up?
naruto waking up bloodied and battered and half alive with one arm missing but still wondering if that was heaven because sasuke was next to him. sasuke looking so happy and peaceful when saying “i lost” as a stark contrast to him looking and feeling like half of his body was being torn apart when he “won” against naruto in vote1 and left him. the bitterness of victory vs the sweetness of losing if you will. AND HIM COMPARING WHAT HE FEELS FOR NARUTO TO PRAYING MY GODD. did i forget to mention that then we learn that Ohhh it was never a stupid shallow rivalry as we all thought! they have actually been watching each other from afar since they were little freshly traumatised children and have longed to hold each other’s hands since then! what was it sasukeeee you felt warm and fuzzy when you saw naruto to thought of it as a weakness? these two are so astronomically hopelessly desperately obsessed in love with each other it’s ridiculous i’ve had ENOUGH free me from this mental prison
