since the cowboy and the samurai were both dying out in the 1800s i want an action adventure historically wildly inaccurate comic about the last cowboy and the last samurai teaming up BUT one of them is gay and the other doesn’t understand what being gay is and there are multiple comedic mishaps resulting from this

[crittizen]

after lots of frantic googling of “were samurais gay” “were cowboys gay” “how did gay samurais work” “did gay cowboys love each other” ad nauseam i have decided that it’s actually funnier if both the cowboy AND the samurai are gay but not for each other and also they both have their very culturally specific understandings of gay social politics so both of them still are equally like “dude why are you like this” to each other

[crittizen]

samurai, trying to comfort the cowboy who just got dumped over pony express: when my lover left me for another man, i killed both him and his new lover, and proved to all in shudo that it is what happens when you leave me for another, and i felt much lighter. would doing that also help you?

cowboy, absolutely reeking of the flask, who stopped howling purely out of confusion to try and figure out if the samurai was being serious: dude what the fuck is wrong with you

[crittizen]

the depictions of homosexual identity at the time are painstakingly accurate and very clearly heavily researched, and this is purposefully in direct contrast to how absolutely absurd and crazy the entire rest of the premise of the comic is

the thing about literary analysis is that its not often “the author intentionally made the curtains blue to represent sadness“ its more like “this is the 5th piece of writing where this author describes blue curtains, incidentally the bedroom his mother died in when he was 6 had blue curtains“

[ifinevercomebackitllbetoosoon]

Literary analysis is just making shit up and assuming things that you have no way of knowing, it’s like jerking off the writer’s ego but to yourself, if I ever wrote a book (which I never would because I hate writing AND reading), I’d be pissed if anyone analysed it, especially if a teacher made students analyse it, I would find the school, go there, and uppercut the teacher just to be like “BRO IT MEANT FUCKING NOTHING, JUST LIKE YOU”

thinking about dr james barry and other historical trans men who were outed against their will and like

not all the trans men could have gotten outed, right?

like im willing to bet that there are quite a few men out there who were buried as men

im glad not to know them

the archive, when it comes to trans people, records violence.

[mkmonster]

Oh, absolutely! The funeral industry is sooo new relative to the history all of mankind, and previously funerals were performed by family, including handling of the body. A spouse or family member generally wouldn’t go around outing their loved one after their death, so of course most of the people who we would call transgender today went unknown. That’s not even going into cultures where gender was more complicated than just man or woman. Transgender people have always existed and have always been loved and when a person isn’t remarkable in some way they go just like the rest of us. Into the ground and lost to history.

[beggars-opera]

This goes along very well with the original intent of the “well-behaved women rarely make history” quote. That goes for queer people as well. Trans people lived their lives, gay people often went unmarried or married out of necessity. Sometimes their families even accepted them for who they were. These people didn’t stand out, didn’t make the historical record. That doesn’t negate the fact that they were people and they were here.

how many ancestors went up in smoke with their letters and diaries after their deaths- and how many, much as we cry out to know them now, were happier in life for their anonymity?
