for me to be known is to be humiliated Lowkey
shipping has a deserved reputation of being able to nuke ppl’s understanding of the source material but i would argue that ppl with intense hate boners for certain ships are very capable of matching them in this regard
a relationship and dynamic with another character can be a huge component of characters and their development and themes. it may be a fundamental part of their stories. a bias coming from the opposite direction can lead to just as laughable analysis regarding the bigger picture
at the end of the day this boils down mostly to the whole “death of the fandom” idea —> u should not let the outside baggage dominate what is actually in a text bc it will result in analysis that leaves a lot to be desired, but it was motivated by an observation that ppl tend to automatically categorize “shippers” as massive blindspot havers with flawed and meaningless analysis while instinctively absolving ppl who r not or who have a bias from the opposite direction as objective. i mean, a relationship is just another part of a story. understanding a relationship is like understanding a character etc, i feel like as a result of the whole shipping/fandom baggage ppl tend to forget this 😭
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?
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
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
that’s not the whole flag, now is it
hey staff what the fuck
they flagged this as mature content holy shit
“Unfinished Painting” — Keith Haring
This painting was left intentionally incomplete. Haring began it when he was dying due to complications from AIDS, and knew he didn’t have much time left. The piece represents the incomplete lives of him and many others, lost to AIDS during the crisis.
“AIDS Memorial Quilt” — Multiple
This quilt is over 50 tons heavy, and one of, if not the, largest pieces of community folk art. Many people who died of AIDS did not receive funerals, due to social stigma and many funeral homes refusing to handle the deceased’s remains, so this was one of the only ways their lives could be celebrated. Each panel was created in recognition of someone who died due to AIDS, typically by that person’s loved ones.
“Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) — Felix Gonzalez-Torres
This pile of candy weighs the same amount as Gonzalez-Torres’ partner, Ross Laycock, did. Ross Laycock had died due to AIDS-related complications earlier that same year. Visitors who see this piece are encouraged to take some of the candy. As they do so, the pile of candy weighs less and less, like how AIDS had deteriorated the body of Ross Laycock.
The SF Gay Men's Chorus
This photo was taken in 1993. The men in white are the surviving original members. Every man in black is standing in for an original member who lost their lives to AIDS.
“Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers); Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate, 1997” — John Boskovich
After the death of his lover, Stephen Earabino, from AIDS, Boskovich discovered that his family had completely cleared his room, including Boskovich’s own possessions, save for this fan. An entire person, existence and relationship had been erased, just like so many lives during the AIDS crisis. Boskovich encased the fan in Plexiglass, but added cutouts so that its air may be felt by the viewer, almost like an exhalation. In a sense, restoring Earabino’s breath.
“Blue” — Derek Jarman
This was Jarman’s final feature film, released four months before his death from AIDS-related complications. These complications had left him visually impaired, able to only see in shades of blue. This film consists of a single shot of a saturated blue color, as the soundtrack to the film described Jarman’s life through narration, intercut with the adventures of Blue, a humanization of the color blue. The film's final moments consist of a set of repeated names: “John. Daniel. Howard. Graham. Terry. Paul". These are the names of former lovers and friends of Jarman who had died due to AIDS.
“Untitled” (Perfect Lovers) — Felix Gonzalez-Torres
Created by the same man who created the previous untitled piece, this piece was also inspired by his lover’s deterioration and death due to AIDS. This piece consists of two perfectly alike clocks. Over the course of time, one of the clocks will fall out of sync with the other.
In a letter written to his lover about the piece, before his lover’s passing, Gonzalez-Tourres wrote, “Don't be afraid of the clocks, they are our time, the time has been so generous to us. We imprinted time with the sweet taste of victory. We conquered fate by meeting at a certain time in a certain space. We are a product of the time, therefore we give back credit were it is due: time. We are synchronized, now forever. I love you.”

What is it about yhe persephone myth that makes so many people who read it go
"What if i took this story about how young girls in greek are often times sold by their fathers into marriages without an considerations to how they or the mother feels or even the knowledge of the mother, and the small victory one mother achieved by at least still getting to see her daughter forbhalf the year. What if i tookball that, and changed it instead to where the daughter actually wanted to marry the man her father sold her to, and the mother is just a nagging bitch who can't understand that her daughter has her own wants? #feminism"
you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself
wait zendaya come back what song do you recommend
Couldn't stop thinking about that tweet, I love the idea of a god promoting his faith.
nice outfit dude LOL. legolas called. apparently they're taking the hobbits somewhere really crazy
"fandom is dying," they whine as they stab artists and writers in the chest with discourse knives and harassment screws. "why isn't anyone making content for me to greedily consume for free as I make the experience worse for them and everyone around me?"
reading a textbook for class and i’m going insane. why is this just poetry. what. this is a STEM class what’s going on.
HELLO????? HELLO?????
Any real understanding of STEM has to include the fact that the further you go the more it's just poetry and light.

resurrected dead wife watching her own montage: wow I looked so hot in that
I should be doing more to appreciate the lack of marvel movies in today's popular culture. I once yearned for marvel movies to have this level of irrelevance. They used to feel almost ozymandian, like an empire that had no beginning and no end. and now tony stark iron man is naught but two vast and trunkless legs of stone.
