I love some films that explore the relationship between Chinese immigrant mums and their very gay daughters 🏳️‍🌈👩🏻. Never fails to move me as a Chinese immigrant daughter with a complex relationship with her mum, these are the only times I feel truly seen in films. Also I gotta call my mum now.

As a queer British Chinese person that struggles with emotions, self doubt, sense of belonging and anger; Alex Chen's journey and strength to persevere and use her understanding to slowly aid others was incredibly inspiring.

My friend joked that they wrote a biography of me, but in truth I think I finally understood first hand the power of representation especially in a medium that lacks it. At all levels asain-americans were involved: writer Felice Kuan, actor Erika Mori, singer mxmtoon. And it shows. This game has touched me in a way that none others have before at a time in my life when I was losing all hope.

For that I am grateful for everyone who worked hard to tell this story. Now back to listening to "in the darkness" on repeat...

Valkyrie Elysium - Announcement Trailer

Valkyrie Elysium will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam in 2022.

Overview

The trailer provides a first glimpse of the game’s protagonist, a young Valkyrie who is entrusted with the fate of the world by the All-Father, the highest of gods and ruler of all creation. She will face various enemies on her quest and must utilize a variety of weapons, magic and the power of her allies to prevent Ragnarok—the destruction of the world.

Valkyrie Elysium calls on its roots with music from series regular Motoi Sakuraba while driving the series forward in a fresh, new direction with classic combat mechanics, such as finishing moves and combo systems, reimagined for an action RPG. The game also features character designs by Yuya Nagai of CyDesignation

When you become the circus version of catwoman just because you want to perform with your ‘partner’ again. Kaleido Star does not disappoint.

#sora x layla #Layla you dork #just tell sora you want to perform with her for the rest of your life and no one else #everyone who's watched the show will know what I mean #don't even get me started on the make up scene #this is why I watch anime what other medium would they do this madness #kaleido star #layla hamilton #sora naegino

Director of 90s anime told to refrain from showing that two main female characters are in love with each other:

Ikuhara gives zero f@cks about hiding the gay and it’s brilliant.

#the original cels most definitely showed them passionately kissing each other #rewatching utena #still the most awe insipring queer anime I've watched #it goes to some heavy places but also gives you hope #revolutionary girl utena #Kunihiko Ikuhara #turned the source material into something even more revolutionary #utena x anthy #they're not superglued to each other in case folks are sus #lgbt anime

in high school my best friend would always bring a bag FULL of parsley as part of her lunch and just eat it like a salad. i remember showing her this screenshot as part of my case for why that was weird. it did not work. she kept eating parsley. queen

if i had known saga frontier had a storyline about a lesbian half-vampire princess protecting her girlfriends and questing to destroy the man who created her i wouldve played it sooner

danwensrandoms

Added to the fact that the Vampire lord that made her a half vampire keeps other princesses as if their his pocession and Asellus and White Rose were essentially running away from that and at the same time Asellus was trying to find her place in the world being half mystic half human. Honestly I think Miwa Shoda could write a whole standalone game with all the background material that went into Asellus’ story. This was the feminist game plot of the 90s.

#Not to mention the themes of self acceptance Miwa Shode managed to work in #If only this was fully realised in a standalone #Saga Frontier: Asellus anyone?#saga frontier

JRPG to look forward to in 2021: Saga Frontier Remastered

lI’m trying to get new people hyped by the game so here goes:

Loads of different protagonists to chose from with their own unique short story.

One of em is possibly the first lesbian/queer female protag of gaming (and she’s not the only queer one in her story, this was in the 90s so the western translation made her and white rose less gay - not that players didn’t clock on ;P).

All characters pictured about share one thing in common: none of em are straight.

The character designer is awesome, she has such a vibrant and unique style:

The MUSIC

The game-play is very different from other JRPGs like most Saga games if you’re looking for something different. Plus it was never released in Europe, for JRPG europe-based fans this would be a completely new experience for us all woo!

#saga frontier #saga frontier remastered #jrpg #square enix #retro gaming #nintendo switch #it's on other platforms as well #but the switch is defo a good portable option to play #queer games characters

Ok Saga frontier is getting a remaster so an I just post some appreciation for the series' character designer, Tomomi Kobayashi.

Her work is stunning.

#Tomomi Kobayashi #saga series #saga frontier #saga scarlet grace #character designs #also ssg is a great game play it if ya waiting on frontier #jrpg #character artwork

“It requires a certain level of audacity to take up hours of people’s time with a ﬁlm. Luckily, I’m just enough of an egomaniac to feel entitled to. Even so, it feels immoral to do so with material that doesn’t say something new, relevant and urgent. The Miseducation of Cameron Post takes place in 1993 and while I knew that conversion therapy wasn’t obsolete, I hadn’t wrapped my brain around how prevalent it was when I optioned the rights to adapt the book by Emily M. Danforth. I was looking to talk about rehabilitation, sexuality and recovery.

Midway through filming Trump was elected president and in the time that’s passed it’s become clear that a lot of horrifying, seemingly antiquated neo-Nazi level bigotry was actually boiling just beneath the surface, right under our noses. Vice President Mike Pence has advocated for federal money being diverted away from HIV/AIDS treatment and towards gay conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is only prohibited in fourteen states.

I ask you not to view this film as an isolated story of extreme circumstances, but a reality. Additionally, I ask that you go to the cinema to see it. Right now, going to the movies is a political act. When you make a choice to see something you’re casting a ballot, telling the industry these are the stories that should be made. Americans are terrified of female sexuality. While stories of men coming of age (both gay and straight) fit neatly into the mainstream, The Miseducation of Cameron Post runs the risk of being ignored because it’s a woman’s queer coming-of-age story.

Ultimately this is a film about something every person, gay or straight, past the age of 13 can recognize: that John Hughes moment when you realize the adults around you don’t have all the answers—that they’re winging it and that the difference between “right” and “wrong” is something you have to decide for yourself.”

Addressing Audience Needs- The Manga Demographic Divide

In Japan Manga is as crucial part of the culture’s mass media consumption as books are to the British. Cheap prints of manga magazines litter Japanese trains as much as newspapers do and people of all ages are attracted to a type of manga. There are two main genres that stand taller than the rest though, and it highlights an industry divide between what girls and boys read or at least what the…
