The first on-screen kiss between two men.
“Wings”, 1927
This doesn’t show exactly what the caption suggests it shows.
In this scene, the lower pilot is dying. He had been captured, managed to escape, and stole a German plane to fly back. The upper pilot–his best friend and rival for the love of Clara Bow*–shot him down, believing he was the enemy. This is him kissing his friend goodbye.
“But that’s still slashy!” you can say. Yep, it is. “You can read this as homoerotic!” Yes, you can. “Why are you denying this? Is it because you think being gay or bi is shameful?” A thousand times no. I am pointing this out because I think this is an important piece of evidence about what homophobia has done to our society and to male expressions of emotion.
In 1927, the obvious reading of this scene, for audiences, was not that this was a romantic kiss. Audiences primarily understood this as an expression of friendship and love, because of course it was perfectly natural for non-romantically involved men to embrace or even kiss, particularly at highly emotional moments. Of course a dying man would want to be held during his last breaths. Of course a guilt- and grief-stricken man would want to kiss his friend goodbye.
However, not very long after this, the commercialization and commodification of homophobia became a powerful force. The market (including Hollywood) began drawing lines and graphs and boxes, declaring which emotions, expressions, habits, and even colors “belonged” to men and to women. This kind of touch, which would not necessarily have been sexualized during many eras or in many cultures, became forbidden to men in the US, Britain and Canada (and many other places, too) within the decade–and is still lost to them today. This scene–a far more honest expression of grief and affection than anything we’re used to seeing in today’s action films–became gay.
Now, if you strongly wish to write “Wings” slash, you can still do so–and not entirely by putting on your goggles! University culture of the 1900s-1920s definitely allowed for a far wider range of sexual behavior than frats do now, etc. I don’t want to police what anybody can and does find in “Wings.” But I think we should acknowledge what we lost when capitalism decided that, for men, kisses could only be sexual.
*You may recognize Clara Bow from that goddamned photo that keeps making the rounds of the internet captioned, “A sex ed class in the 1920s!” so everyone can hoot with derision at the shocked girls in their desks. The photo is actually a still from a movie, and the star, Ms. Bow, is front and center.
Very much this.
Thanks Yahtzee for the film lesson! :)
project hail mary is like i'll make you believe that friendship will save the world. i'll make you remember that our society rests on the backs of teachers and scientists. i'll make you see that even the most cowardly can be brave. i'll make you horny for sandra huller. thank you greatest scifi film of the last 10 years
[no beers in] do you think im ever going to belong somewhere
oh buddie we are so back.
this entire episode you have everyone mistaking / assuming that buck and eddie are a couple ; the assholes at the diner, the sheriff, hell probably bonnie too from how she handled the whole “that’s your friend” incident.
and the entire time we get eddie actively not denying it (granted, i am sure he had other pressing matters to attend to BUT NONETHELESS) , and just not responding to it at all. (the fact he kept quiet to athena and maddie about why the sheriff was really targeting him as buck’s potential murderer..)
yet at the end, when buck and eddie reunite for the first time and eddie says his silly line “you should see the other guy” , buck replying “i’m the other guy” …..
… eddie agrees. immediately. “yeah, i know” .
isn’t that just something..
Can we take a moment to appreciate the ship name dinostar? Yes? Great thanks
(Also Benji could be junglecaptain, jungleboat (or cruise! Junglecruise!) or dinodads, just sayin:3)
real ones remember it being junglecity once upon a time (ben calling kenji city boy… kenji calling ben jungle boy…. oh camp cretaceous how i miss you ….)
I saw tv glow is like YES the realization you are trans might implode your life and make the world you live in uninhabitable but that will happen anyway if you don’t do anything about it. if you retreat from your own needs and refuse to let yourself resurrect you’re still gonna run out of air and even the tv show that kept you alive at one point won’t be able to bring you back

So jealous they both broke up with the other's situationship
can i interest you guys in the ‘crazy together’ scene in full from the s2 script release? 😁
will centric teaser with protective mike… we won
currently thinking about
how defensive buck got when tommy said buck was living at “eddie’s house” and how he immediately jumped in saying “he’s a renter”….
… but literally back in s3 he told maddie- his EXACT words- “this is eddie’s house, i’m not really a guest” .
and then to follow it up with why buck couldn’t possibly be in love with eddie? oh because he’s straight! (sure jan)
using those two excuses to deny the obvious…
buck buckley i need you to lock in.
right and then telling him he doesn’t have to sleep with everyone he has feelings for, or have feelings for people he sleeps with …. implying he has feelings for eddie ?3&;?3&2?2!2
