A stunning detail from Emperor Maximilian II's Hercules armor, made in 1555.

the idea of holding a fictional character accountable for their bad behavior is so funny to me bc what am i supposed to do..ask for an apology letter?

There should definitely be more queer media, don’t get me wrong, but I fear a lot of white western sapphics are underselling how much wlw media there is because they’re not willing to consume media that doesn’t have white leads or is in any language other than English. Thailand is pumping GLs out constantly. There’s a main lesbian couple on the biggest Brazilian telenovela airing right now. You’ll have plenty of sapphic media on your plate as long as you read subtitles. Hollywood isn’t the only place where movies/shows are made.

I do have a fondness for how gothic and erotic lit had a certain barrier to entry. Like I do love more ppl getting into the vampire chronicles and I'll always be happy to have more Loustat fans but those books are weird and melancholic and erotic and philosophical and constantly testing boundaries and asking questions. And it feels like ppl are expecting or wanting "the vampire diaries but gay". The books have uncomfortable moments and the characters will do and say and believe things that make you double take but so much of the books are just "how moral can I be when nothing matters and I'm immortal?"

This isn't just a tale of gay vampires. It's a haunting philosophical treatise about life, mortality, morality, death, depression, incest, rape, love, regret, and the Pain Of Time. It can be fun and it can be gross and it can be wonderful but it's not for the timid.
