Hey so @staff it’s really really shitty to flag as explicit a post about my gay uncle who died due to AIDS.

[lavender-lily]

@staff this is unacceptable

[sorrynotsorrybi]

Thank you. I didn’t even see a notification - I just came across it while I was scrolling through my blog to see if anything was flagged.

I’m honestly pretty upset about this. It’s also wild considering the history of the AIDS epidemic and how the US government censored PSAs about the epidemic to not mention gay men because it might be seen as endorsing “deviant” behavior. I’m not saying that’s why this was flagged, I’m just saying there’s relevant history here.

This is also an indication that random LGBTQ posts being blocked isn’t a fluke. This post doesn’t contain any word that could possibly be construed as sexual, like sex/sexual/sexuality. “Gay,” “orientation,” “HIV” or “AIDS” is probably flagged.

I was walking in the forest during winter, and saw a wendigo sitting under a tree. I asked it if it was going to kill me. It said, “No, this is just a dream.” So I sat next to it in the snow for a bit and then he said, “The anger in your heart warms you now, but will leave you cold in your grave.” And then I woke up.

Look at this! Look at this fucking thing! This was done in 1986, and used absolutely no CGI whatsoever. It was ALL practical, and ALL done through puppetry. Look at the last gif. Over a dozen vines are moving at once along with its head, lips, and tongue! In interviews Rick Moranis has stated he often forgot he was working with a puppet, as opposed to a really ugly guy. Even today it looks so real. Audrey ii is nothing short of miraculous

IM SORRY WHAT

WHAT

It took over 60 puppeteers to operate Audrey II’s final form in the film. You can read more about the puppet’s creation and operation here.

[inthenameofpeacewemakewar-deact]

The practical effects of Little Shop of Horrors was fucking astounding.  It’s worth it to mention that, in the scenes where the plant is moving, the filming was slowed to 12 to 16 frames a second, so that the film could be sped up to give the Audrey II a more lifelike appearance.  In such scenes where actors like Rick Moranis had to speak with the plant, he had to mouth his lines at a slower-than-normal speed while still looking convincing, only to have his voice added in post. 

It’s also worth mentioning that a crew of 60+ puppeteers were needed to operate the plant, as the entire puppet weighed over a ton.

Another thing I like about the Venom movie and its subversion of toxic masculinity is how, in Eddie’s apology to Anne, we see him multiple times start to give a sort of “half apology”, then correct himself. 

He starts saying “I’m sorry if what I did hurt you”, but stops himself and changes it to “I’m sorry for what I did that hurt you.” The first one shifts the blame and doesn’t take responsibility, the second one does. He also starts saying “I’m sorry for whatever I did” and changes it to “I’m sorry for everything I did”. The first feigns ignorance about exactly what he did that was wrong, the second one openly accepts it.

It’s just so common to hear the “sorry that you misunderstood me” or “I’m sorry you got upset” apology and it’s nice not only to have gotten such a genuine one from Eddie, but also the acknowledgment of him overcoming the immediate urge to give a less sincere one and purposefully correcting himself.

Honest to god I can’t understand anything any of them say.

[unorthodoxchronicles]

It’s two gay guys using hockey terms to catcall the two presumably straight hockey players (riley and jonesy) who then counter by being comfortable enough to accept the compliments. The conversation then continues along to describe different words and terms for a variety of queer folk as if said words were also hockey players. So when they say a word got cut it’s merely a euphanism for people agreeing not to use that term. The whole scene is two (presumably straight) men being educated gently on the subject by two gay men and listening rather than bickering.

this dialogue is like something out of a greek drama it’s both downright melodic and utterly incomprehensible

how to compliment someone without seeming like a fucking creep. an easy how to guide:

a) compliment them on something that they can change. don’t say ‘nice tits janice’, say something like ‘your shoes are rad’ or ‘your hair looks great’.

b) don’t be a fucking creep. if it’d weird you out if it was said to you, then it’s likely too creepy to say to someone else.

EASY.

also this pic is super strawmanny and gross. it is not hard to not be a creep.

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

My most favorite compliment I’ve ever gotten I got from a man who was a complete stranger who drove up next to me while I was walking home at 9pm in the night:

I guess he saw me speed walk, overtake, then completely outpace some really tall business man in front of me (who had also increased his speed to overtake me back but failed).

Anyway this complete stranger doing the exact stereotype of what a man shouldn’t ever do drove up next to me, rolled down the window and said:

“That is the fastest damn walking I’ve ever seen. Ma’am, you…have the soul…of a bicycle.”

Then rolled up his window and drove away.

He didn’t creepily drive behind me, he drove regular speed and came to a rolling stop. He didn’t roll down his window all the way or stick his head out, he said his piece quickly and with a great amount of awe and respect, then he didn’t act like he needed a response from me or expect anything from the compliment. And then he left as quickly as he came. The compliment was so good and politely delivered that I’ve thought about it with amusement for over a year.

It is NOT HARD to not be threatening to women. Those who can’t manage it are sus as hell.

[camwyn]

That is one hell of a compliment.

if youve never physically been in the presence of like, a real live wolf, and you probably wont get the chance to, heres some stuff about them you should know

a wolf’s fur is so unbelievably thick that you can get like, your whole hand into it while petting. and then you can keep going

wolves are a lot bigger than you think they are. think about how big you think a wolf is then just like double that

they dont really smell like dog but they DO smell and youre not going to be able to figure out if its a good smell or not

a wolf really wants to lick the inside of your mouth. he will not stop trying to lick the inside of your mouth at any cost, and generally speaking you need to press your lips together kind of tightly when he approaches your face so that he doesnt worm his damn tongue in there to give you what he thinks is an appropriate greeting

a wolf doesnt really want to look at you while you pet him but he wants you to pet him. hes embarrassed

if a grown ass wolf decides to lay down on you, you just have to deal with it and thats your life now

young wolves, much like young dogs, are overwhelmingly goofy and stupid. a teenage wolf will see your very fragile, very human shoulder and go “i can probably step on that with my full weight” and then he will do it

letting a wolf eat out of your hand is actually not remotely frightening, and youll want to do it all day

a six year old idea that i’m still apparently into: au where it was the water tribe who attacked, katara and sokka still found aang in the iceberg 100 years later, but then, kind of tried to kill him. luckily aang escaped in time to team up with a pair of plucky young fire nation siblings who ought to have inherited the throne, you know, if the water tribe hadn’t laid waste to their country. mostly, i just like drawing katara in military gear, and enjoy thinking about the political intrigue of two ruling branches of the water tribe.
