Uh oh this is becoming a Worm + other fandoms blog. Shrike. Any pronouns. Adult, old enough to rent a car.

And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were sore afraid.

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Once again the funny dissonance of seeing a modestly popular genre writer go "there's too much Sincere Therapy Speak in fiction these days, preemptively blunting any bite that violence or complexity might have in stories" where it's like. You are correct! This is an annoying trend.

I am not sure I am more endeared by their (collective, not specific to any one writer) solution, however, which is "Arch Ironic Imitation of Douglas Adams If He Wrote More Explicit Sex Scenes". Feels a bit like we're deboning the beast at the other end, aren't we.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if forced to choose between the sincerely annoying writer over the ironic annoying writer. At least the sincere one is committing to something. I, personally, am more interested in a genuine effort to Mean Something even with a defensive reflex than the type of writing that comes with all potential clumsy vulnerability pre-scrubbed so that I, the reader, am made implicitly aware that the author carefully curated kinks just off the mainstream enough to trigger SEO discoverability but not so unusual that they're alienating to a meticulously reseached market niche, and thus that discussing their work in places that will enhance the market penetration of their work will not expose me, the reader, to any risk of vulnerability myself. Because it's all a Bit, isn't it.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.
