[image is a short animated gif of an illustration of lil nas x in his montero styling, with long magenta box braids and visible tattoos all over his torso against a vivid red-orange background. he is holding a crown shaped like two wickedly curved horns above his head and looking quietly smug. the animation depicts him lowering the crown to his head as he closes his eyes, then opening his eyes which are now glowing white, and sprouting great black wings. he then reverses the whole motion. following is a static image of the first frame.]

“They can take and break and steal all they want, but there is one thing they have no control over. Our emotions. Our feelings. Our thoughts. None of them will ever be able to control the way we feel. Our minds and hearts are our own. That is our power, Nine. Never forget it.”

― Natasha Ngan, Girls of Paper and Fire

BOOKS I’VE READ IN 2019:

This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers

“But you didn’t die,” He says. “I did,” I say. “I’m just waiting for the rest of me to catch up.”

does mike flanagan know that now he absolutely cannot make another season of the haunting and not include lesbians?? lesbians are canon now. it’s about the ghosts and the lesbians. you can’t take any of them away mr flanagan

People saying that Bly Manor is an example of bury your gays even though they got 10+ years together is such a good example of how people don’t realize that a trope is harmful because it’s a trope. Killing off a character of color or women or queer characters is a problem because it’s pervasive, not because one writer did it one time.

It’s bittersweet because they got time together but didn’t know when it would end! They were together and happy and had their civil union and had plants and an apartment! Their friends were like “hell yeah!” And I was too!!!

season 3 of The Haunting is just Mike Flanagan walking into my house and shooting me point blank in the face

(it will still be less painful than seasons 1 and 2)

It’s alright. One day at a time is fine by me. As long as those days are with you, Poppins. One day at a time is what we’ve got. It’s what everybody’s got when you get down to it.

RE: Dani and Jamie’s ending, I think people are missing the point. They didn’t have a “tragic” ending because they’re gay but rather because they had agency and chose to be the selfless heroes of the story: Dani saving Flora and all the trapped souls and Jamie standing by Dani knowing she would eventually “lose” her.

I fully recognize tragedy does affect gay couples disproportionately on TV. But tragedy is an inevitability in the horror genre and characters should be able to have agency, regardless of their sexuality. (In fact, it’s problematic if they don’t, as is often the case.) Dani was always going to make that choice because of everything that makes her who she is.

And they actually have the least tragic love story of anyone. Owen and Hannah never fully get together. Peter destroys Rebecca. Dani and Jamie have ten or so incredible years together and then really are with each other still, even if they can’t see each other.

Plus, it was actually set up early on: love vs. possession and beauty lying in mortality. That is why they’re the foil for Peter and Rebecca. Dani and Jamie loved each other completely and that was enough for them. That is what makes theirs such a powerful, beautiful and rare love story.
