i love the way ed kisses stede. i love that he does it all of a sudden, surprises them both, i love that when the camera swaps to the second angle you can see that even though he's rushed in, he's still kind of holding himself back, he's still kind of apart. i love that stede catches him, that they both have that moment of shock - oh! - and then they rearrange, they try again. ed's hands change, gentle on stede's jaw, his neck, his shoulder, not sure of how to hold him but trying. ed pulls a little closer, shifts himself in, his brow furrows, he's concentrating. it's awkward. it's not perfectly aligned. it's chaste. it is, on first blush, kind of funny, and not particularly Good.

but it is so perfectly a first kiss. it is so quintessentially a first reaching, with that kind of adolescent uncertainty bubbling beneath it, is this right, am i doing it right, how do i - oh, that's all right - and stede makes that tiny little sound and ed makes that little gasp and i love it. i love everything about it.

i am also looking forward to watching them kiss in s2 like they're trying to eat each other's faces off so there's that too

Gotta love a behind the scenes pic

Went to Con O'Neill's Twitter profile bc I heard he's reblogging a bunch of mildly to very shippy fanart and i find that humorous only to realize once I got there that it's only half his posts and the other half of his posts are just him hating the British conservative party. Good Lord. Iconic. You love to see it

Babe wake up new Taika directing pics just dropped

Tell me your thoughts…

I’m feeling very vindicated after watching OFMD and the amount of queer love present within the show, but now Good Omens (a personal favorite) feels bad. Not necessarily queer baiting but maybe something?

In S2 of Good Omens I just want the words to be spoken or a kiss shared SOMETHING to prove that this isn’t a platonic relationship. Not that there’s anything wrong with bros but man, it would be lovely to feel that representation after how well OFMD is doing with it. Am I crazy and being disrespectful?

is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what

[kiefbowl]

That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING

[houroftheantichristwolf]

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

[auntiewanda]

It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot. 

It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

[auntiewanda]

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

[auntiewanda]

We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine. 

What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.

This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks:

He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.

You can see her butthole for chrissakes

[pmastamonkmonk]

I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.

Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.

Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine.  He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.

Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.

Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.

Good Omens, also, got very minimal backlash even for being a complete twist on the Christian mythos and even including what is very arguably a same-gender romance between an angel and a demon and a ton of other very ‘blasphemous’ shit. You know why that show didn’t get as much backlash from conservatives as a 3 minute music video by a musician? Exactly, because the main two actors were white and the book was written by a white man.

 Lil Nas X getting backlash for his song is absolutely about race bc I’ve seen so many retellings and manglings of Christian belief that got off mostly scott free from religious fanatics, because they weren’t made by PoC.

[luminiferousloser]

You know what Good Omens did get backlash for from Christians? Casting black actors as Adam and Eve

The thing that messes me up about the whole “the butler did it” trope is that we literally have no idea where it comes from.

The earliest known piece of detective fiction in which the butler, in fact, did it? Published in 1930.

The earliest known article calling out “the butler did it” as an egregious cliché in detective fiction? Published in 1928.

Obviously there must have been earlier examples of detective fiction in which the butler did it, but none of them have survived to the present day, leaving us in this bizarre situation where the earliest known callout post about the trope pre-dates its earliest known actual use by a full two years.

We settled with Biden. but if you decide to vote third party or not vote instead of supporting Biden... fuck you. You have to see that this is bigger than choosing the “best” candidate. This is a fight for the soul of our nation. Settle for Biden. Settle because if you don’t hundreds of thousands of people will die. People. will. die.
