Hello Tumblr people, it's been a long long while since I've used this and I have no idea if this is the right way to go about finding new followers but I want to find the following folk:

👻 Supernatural/Doctor Who/The Vampire Diaries/Tolkien/horror fans

🌸 Anime and manga fans (I've just started watching Demon Slayer and currently in the middle of reading Full Metal Alchemist and Blue Exorcist - I haven't read or watched much else but want to get into it more)

🏳️‍🌈 Queer and/or ND folk (i'm autistic, demi-ace and non-binary)

🔖 Bookworms

🎭 Cosplayers (the pic is me in my hobbit outfit)

🎶 Fans of: Pop-punk, mid-west emo, metalcore, gay pop

Harry Potter is trending at #1 on tumblr so I thought I’d take the opportunity to say fuck JKR, fuck transphobes, fuck her stupid books, her theme park, her endless landfill fodder merch slop, and her fucking castle on a hill. Read another book yall!! Read another book!!!!!!!

often transphobia discourse posts are a minefield to use as blocklists because you get exposed to a lot of their rhetoric. but this post is excellent because mostly the tags and comments by the people you wanna avoid are just declaring their house. fastest batch of gobshites blocked in ages!

Thinking about that one tumblr post I saw years ago explaining how spn was created with these tough guys and their tough car for a target audience of midwestern men and instead got touch starved girls shipping Destiel and I think that’s beautiful

it’s really important to me when men put their heads in women’s laps. one of the most important things i can see on my tv. men laying their heads in women’s laps or men sitting and women standing and the man holds her around the middle and presses his face into her tummy as she hugs him around the shoulders. two very important poses. extremely soul igniting tableaux.

Happy nov 5 to those who celebrate

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...

I saw a review of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall that said 'I can't believe people think this was a feminist book'.

Like, do you know how swooningly, outrage-causingly shocking it was that the main character slammed her bedroom door in her abusive husband's face? Do you have any idea how unthinkable it was that she denied him access to her space and her person? She was supposed to submissively look away while he turned their son into an alcoholic for his own amusement and seduced innocent young women! It was revolutionary in 1848; when Bronte (Anne) wrote it, she had to do so under a male psuedonym because publishers wouldn't accept works by women unless they were harmless pap, which was all that was thought suitable for women to read lest their mild and gentle minds be corrupted.

The reason these groundbreaking books of history seem to tame and understated now is because they worked. They raised the bar, pushed the agenda forwards, cleared the path for the next writer. They did exactly what they were supposed to. Time is linear. History moves forward. We make progress.

When you are old, if things happen as they ought, a future generation of teenagers will read The Hate U Give and Simon and the Homo Sapiens' Agenda and Speak and think to themselves 'why did anybody ever think this was contraversial? Why did they ban them? These are just things we talk about, these are things we deal with like normal people. What was the past like, and how do we stop from backsliding into a place where these things are considered shocking again?"

I really hope that's how it goes.
