We don't have a magical power to see people's orientation and gender. You can't see that.
What we see is the absence of performative straightness.

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes
(Edits closed as of 28 Nov.)
Lmaoooo
Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like two years:
Link to post.
But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:
Link to post.
Next thing I knew there were fake Letterboxed reviews.
Goncharov moodboards. Really good ones.
Link to post.
Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes. (Edit: HAVE I SAID THIS SHIT IS DISTURBING)
As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "No beta we die like ice-pick Joe" is already a tag.
Link to post.
It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂
Link to post.
Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.
Link to post (tags mine).
Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3
----------------------------------------------
Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.
found by @thepotch
Edit 3: Explainer: why did those boots have this movie on them anyway?
Edit 4: Alt text added to all images courtesy of @valentineish ❤️
Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.
Edit 6: This post collects the Lore so far.
Edit 7: Lynda Carter (real one)/ earns more/ Tumblr cred.
Edit 8: Holy shit y'all we have the theme music. With sheet music. And it's on Spotify!
Edit 9: THERE IS A TRAILER WITH THE THEME MUSIC
----------------------------------------------
I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.
Edit 10: Google document live-compiling all the lore so far (Day 3)
Edit 11: Masterpost of Goncharov soundtracks (Day 3)
Edit 12: Entertainment news articles covering the Gonch-posting (real) (Contd from yday)
Edit 13: The music from the masterpost all compiled into a 31-minute original score with video edits on YouTube (edit: unfortunately taken down)
Edit 14: Staff's Goncharov art showcase for Tumblr Tuesday
As of closing on Day 3 there are 371 works in the AO3 tag.

Updating with Day 3 shenanigans I missed yesterday:
Edit 15: Goncharov TV Tropes page
Edit 16: Ethics of Gonchposting
Important PSA 1 (how to reduce harm to Tumblr's neurodivergents)
Important PSA 2 (reality affirmation, anti-bullying)
Stop trying to vandalise collaborative information sites run by volunteers! All you're doing is abusing the unpaid labour of people trying to protect the integrity of something you only care about when you need to rely on it yourself.
Edit 17: Character lore from beezlebub whose poster they originated from
Edit 18: What we know about/ Director Matteo JWHJ0715 (#unreality)
Edit 19: Link to post with screenshotted and described NYT article (scroll down) and this golden exerpt from BuzzFeed: 💀
(alt text included)
End of Day 4 there are now 485 works in the Goncharov tag on AO3
----
Didn't get to update this on Day 5, so these are the Day 5 doings:
More trailers!
Trailer 1 (My favourite)
Trailer 2
Trailer 3
Trailer 4
I also just found out about the Goncharov Game Jam. It appears this opened a day after after the meme took off.
Goncharov was first entered into Wikipedia between Day 4 and 5 (attempts to vandalise it with fake info don't count, incidentally – please knock that shit off) under List of Internet Phenomena. This was then expanded into its own Wikipedia page at the end of Day 5 because, according to the talk history: "the topic now meets the notability threshold for its own artice due to significant coverage in The New York Times and other sources cited." We're on Wikipedia, people!
And then we made The Guardian half a day later. So while the meme is definitely dying down to embers by now, it still stays winning.
YouTube channels with episodes on the meme:
InformOverlord (4:30)
Lessons in Meme Culture (2:43)
End of Day of 5 there were 511 works on AO3, and End of Day 6 (today) there are 556.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 from Martin Scorsese's daughter's TikTok (real actual)
tw: unreality:
We did it you guys!
Clarification: Francesca Scorcese asked her Dad about the meme and Martin played along. Please reblog this PSA to help Tumblr people with psychosis. Thanks.
Final edit: Day 8. Media reactions to Scorcese's TikTok (everyone from Forbes to Vulture). That one Tumblr user who said they'd do a screenplay if their post got notes has promised to shoot a single scene, but please don't be dicks just because you reblogged it; leave them alone until they get around to it themselves. As of end of Day 8 there are 609 works in the AO3 tag. I love all you lunatics. Peace! ❤️

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
food does not have moral value....... food does not have moral value.......is there anybody out there... hello.can anybody hear me.... you need carbohydrates to live.... can somebody help me.... hello.......
I'm not gonna get sucked into the drama but I gotta admit that Hank Green making an incredibly popular phone app that uses knitting as its central gimmick, absolutely dominating the app store with it, and then immediately pissing off the online knitting community with something entirely unrelated is a little bit funny. Like, just the timing of it.
There was some light ribbing about the knitting in the app already. It uses socks as the “basic” currency and scarves as the “premium” currency, which is completely reversed from the level of difficulty for each item.
I don’t think anyone was too upset about that, though.
He needed a random craft for his cutesy focusing app, whatever he picked was going to be inaccurate and bow to the necessities of the app. I've done a lot of fishing and cooking in games that clearly don't know a whole lot about fishing and cooking. Like that's fine, nobody's expecting a knitting lesson in the Step Away From Your Phone App That Randomly Chose A Textile Aesthetic.
An educational video about knitting made by professional educators and researchers that clearly broadcasts in every line just how unimportant the creators think one of the more important human technologies in all history is, though? Yeah, it's reasonable for people to have some expectations of that. If your (the scishow team, not necessarily Hank specifically, he was very likely just the narrator) opinion of a massive chunk of the main industry of women throughout human history, the thing that civilisations ran on and kept people alive and that people have constantly minimised as some silly hobby that women do in the background while Important Work like war and science and construction is getting done, is that it's so unimportant and boring as to not even be worth learning about for the educational video you're making and was just something people blindly stumbled through by "trial and error" until The Physicists discovered that it could actually do "important" work (never mind that trial and error is a major basis of scientific experimentation but it's somehow only important and technical if it's done in a lab I guess), then yeah. The knitters are gonna want some corrections made.
#oh i cannot wait to dig into this drama
It's not all that much drama tbh. General education channel made a video about something they didn't care about or bother to learn about with a dismissive tone, the people who knew what they were talking about were like "hey we love your work usually but your video's fucked up and wrong, can you make a correction so you don't keep misinforming people". Fork found in kitchen, soap found in bathroom. The timing of being so close on the heels of a breakout app that just happened to use a knitting aesthetic is just funny to me personally.
quoted tag:
#I would watch a whole series of videos about knitting and sewing and weaving and spinning and constructing garments
Do you know Sally Pointer's YouTube Channel? (long form videos mostly on experimental archeology, recreating ancient textile and cordage techniques, and adjacent skills)
Or Bernadette Banner's? (Costume analysis and fashion history; has lots of videos on period appropriate clothing reconstruction)
Or Abby Cox's? (Lately, a lot of snarky, comedic videos on fashion history and related cultural things. Here's a playlist from a while back, where she examines how antique clothes were constructed)
