And here's a twitter post version that @konako had the incredible idea of making!!!

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.

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

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.

Something BTVS does that i think is really funny for a show that is ostensibly about vampires is that it establishes vampires as like. The baseline threat. Like she's not worried about vampires. Basically ever. Theyre just vampires! Theyre like the petty criminals to her spiderman. Almost all the interesting/ threatening villains are Something Else, they keep having to bring in new and weirder bullshit because they've created a world where vampires Are Not That Scary. And it is entirely because of Buffy that this is the case, thats why The Wish is so jarring and unsettling, because you're used to writing the vamps off as one note minor threats that'll get killed off in 5 minutes, because the Slayer is supposed to be there. Without Buffy around they have the power and potential to be genuinely scary but she's so used to dealing with them that it just never happens

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

[slowlikehoney1996]

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

Here she is! My final piece for the Avatrice Big Bang event!

Sadly, my partner could not complete the fic for real life reasons, but the concept and pieces they shared with me inspired me enough to finish the artwork.

This was the original description:

"Ava Silva is a free-spirited painter aching to settle down. Her current muse, the Málaga shore and skies, bring her to the beach every day. 

Beatrice Young owns a surf school in Málaga and likes her life just the way it is. 

Until she meets Ava and her entire world is turned upside down. Until she meets Ava and suddenly she wants something – someone – more than she has ever wanted anything in her life. But can she escape her past before it’s too late and she loses the best thing she’s ever had?"

(The piece is meant to represent Beatrice daydreaming of Ava as she glides across the waves 💖)

Thank you everyone who was a part of this! This event has pushed me artistically like few things have done, and I've made some of the best friends of my life because of it.

I love you all!

IT'S FUCKING DONE!

things will work out + it’s still early + not everything is lost + trees

[mermaidandthedrunks]

if saints and angels spoke of love is a masterpiece. can we get a tiny little glimpse at what’s coming up next? please🥺😣 only if you are able to! I think we’d all wait forever for this fic tbh

Beatrice took a long drink of water. The cold liquid soothed her roiling stomach. In a soft voice, she said, “She left.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“She left me,” Beatrice repeated, “Because of me.

“I think it was more complicated than that. I think when you’re not absolutely hammered, you think that too.” Mary gave her a long look. “What kind of nun goes to a gay bar?”

“One who might not be a nun for much longer?” The words didn’t sound as terrible as Beatrice feared they might. Especially not when Mary chuckled. “What’s funny?”

“Nothing, just…you ever watch The Sound of Music?”

Beatrice shook her head.

"Of course you haven't." Mary's smile was surprisingly fond.

There are gonna be people who won't like hearing this but if you want to live in a world where mixed marriages, families, and adoptions (particularly POC adopting outside their "race") aren't maligned and discriminated against, then you have got to get more chill about seeing someone partaking in something cultural that you don't think fits the "race" you perceive them as.

[statisticalcats2]

It's a vague memory now, it was a vague memory even at the time I made this post, but I think what sparked this was remembering stupid comments I saw about a Chinese-American cookbook that were complaining about it being written by a white woman and then I looked the white woman up and the briefest research showed she was adopted as a child into a Chinese-American family and just....

*pinches nose*

Fellas, is it cultural appropriation to inherit your family's culture but you don't pass the blood quantum test?

All of you are literally just racist. You've come full-circle. You're working under the belief that people are supposed to "keep to their own kind" and that means the socially invented concept of "race", and "race mixing" of any sort is unnatural.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
