Intro post because why not?

I apologise to my mutuals who followed me for reasons unbeknownst to me before my shoot from the hip obsession.

All you need to know about me!

Hiiiiiii I'm Ranger of the South but you can call me Haleth!

For the minors following my blog and for everyone else too

I do swear...a lot and also talk about some adult topics now and again

Sometimes, very rarely there might be an nsfw post. It'll be tagged and labelled and whatnot so you can filter the tags out.

Also just in general, gore and blood and violence is something that tends to come up in my blogging .

Anyways that's all, remember to practice good Internet safety.

The Golden Girls, S2E5: “Isn't It Romantic”

#happy pride to this episode of a sitcom from the 1980s!!!!

The Golden Girls was an incredibly progressive show on LGBTQ matters, especially for the time in which it was produced. We had this episode where Dorothy's lesbian friend falls for Rose. There were multiple episodes with Blanche's brother Clayton, who was gay, including an episode where he and his partner married, nearly three decades before that would be legal. Dorothy's brother Phil was described with the language of the time as a cross dresser, but we would certainly understand him now as gender nonconforming or gender fluid. And there was a really important episode that broke a lot of stigma around HIV. And in each instance, the story always ended with love and acceptance and a key takeaway that our LGBTQ friends and family weren't any different just because they were different. It was - and is - absolutely gorgeous stuff.

This is about the sexiness of The Golden Girls but I really feel the need to remind the world of how fucking progressive this show was.

In the episode 72 hours, we find out Rose may have contracted AIDs during an emergency gallbladder surgery.

Rose: Why me, Blanche? I'm tired of pretending I feel okay so you won't say, 'Take it easy', and I'm tired of you saying 'Take it easy' because you're afraid I'm going to fall apart. Dammit, why is this happening to me? I mean, this isn't supposed to happen to people like me. You must've gone to bed with hundreds of men. All I had was one innocent operation. Blanche: Hey, wait a minute! Are you saying this should be me and not you? Rose: No! No, I'm just saying that I am a good person. Hell, I'm a goody-two-shoes! Blanche: AIDS is not a bad person's disease, Rose, it is not God punishin' people for their sins!

In Isn't it romantic? we find out Dorothy's childhood best friend is a lesbian who recently lost her partner. She confesses she has feelings for Rose. Rose turns her down but makes it clear that she still wants to be friends even though she doesn't return those feelings.

Sophia: Jean is a nice person. She happens to like girls instead of guys. Some people like cats instead of dogs.

Jean: Rose, about last night. I should never have said anything. Rose: You only said what you were feeling. Jean: It's just that this last year has been so difficult for me. Pat was the person I planned to spend the rest of my life with. And when she died, I just felt so terribly alone. Empty. I thought I could never care for anyone again. Until I met you. I just got very confused. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable. Rose: Well, I have to admit that I don't understand these kinds of feelings. But if I did understand, if I were, you know, like you, I'd be very flattered and proud that you thought of me that way.

Ebbtide's Revenge gives us Phil's funeral, and Sophia addressing him wearing women's clothes.

Rose: So what if he was different? It's okay that you loved him. Sophia: I did love him. He was my son, my little boy. But every time I saw him I wondered what I did, what I said, when was the day I did whatever I did to make him the way he was. Angela Petrillo: What he was Sophia, was a good man.

Sister of the Bride, where Blanche's brother Clayton brings his boyfriend to town, because they're planning on getting married.

Blanche: Oh, look, I can accept the fact that he's gay, but why does he have to slip a ring on this guy's finger so the whole world will know? Sophia: Why did you marry George? Blanche: We loved each other. We wanted to make a lifetime commitment. Wanted everybody to know. Sophia: That's what Doug and Clayton want, too. Everyone wants someone to grow old with. And shouldn't everyone have that chance?

There are so many episodes I could sit here and quote but this show is still so important. It isn't perfect, there are jokes that definitely don't land that I will not sit here and defend, but in the context of when it was created? This show is a fucking masterpiece and deserves respect for that.

And this was during the Reagan/Bush years.

optimysticals

I think that this show hit as hard as it did because it was during Reagan/Bush

Hearing Sam say on the patreon livestream yesterday that his favourite lotr characters are Samwise Gamgee and Tom Bombadil like... yeah that tracks lmao

What, you identify with the loyal, hard working family man who literally carries his friend when he needs the help??? Oh, and you see yourself in the chaotic, slightly goofy, well meaning guy who absolutely adores his awesome wife??? Of course you fucking do smh

@rangerofthesouth you're most likely to know what im on about, my dear ranger, back me up here lmao

rangerofthesouth

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!???? ...when he answered i had a huge nerdy smile on my face because, Sir, you are Samwise the Brave. Also I love that Sam is a huge LOTR nerd too... he's such a cool guy...

Like I'm not gonna pretend that I understand their friendship /found family dynamic but... the way they carry on. Sam is the one who will keep them out of danger and carry them when they're too weak and tired to carry themselves. He is the adopted big brother of the group. Like he is so gentle and kind and he adores his wife and daughter and family just like Samwise adores his. But also he's stuck with these lads through thick and thin nearly giving up but never ever giving up hope. He is the one who can reign them in, like tom is wild let's be honest, but Sam will just calm him down. He also loves working with his hands and cooking like Sam.

And he can ABSOLUTELY KICK SHELOB'S ASS IF HE NEEDED TO. Give that goofy man a sword and the demons in hell will fear for their lives.

He is Samwise the Brave.

In my head , Tom is Meriadoc Brandybuck. He is the other wise head of reason at times. Absolutely wild as fuck when combined with the other three. And is well-learned and well read, as they all are but man has two English degrees and is the scholar among them. He's also the tallest one of the group too. But he is their knight and defender, just like Merry. He is bright and accepting and calm and lets his friends and family be themselves around him. And he is so silly and loving with Pip. and so gentle and kind and loyal. That's his main trait that he shares with merry. He stands for what he believes in and it shows in his actions. He is also weird and derpy and enjoys a good drink and would absolutely love being Treebeard's friend.

Luke is definitely Pippin. Tom and Luke go together like these two clowns. On stage, Luke comes across as the unserious one who is goofy and mischievous and will say the most unhinged shit and the boys are used to it. But then, you listen to him talk about books and politics and such and the man is wise and intelligent. He is loyal and will fiercely protect his friends. He loves joining in shenanigans and being in the spotlight and will be there for his buddies when they need him to be. Beneath the fun having eccentric outside he is a loyal friend who loves his family so much and will put himself in the line of fire if need be. More than that is honest and also not afraid to goad them on and the fans too. Which always makes me cackle. He is a brave knight of Gondor.

And then you have Aj. It seems easier to make him and tom be merry and Pippin. But he is Frodo. As an only child I feel it deep down when he says that the boys and him fight like brothers. They are his older brothers. Frodo may be older than all of them. But truly, Aj is their adopted , buff little brother. Who they will bring along on their shenanigans, who is instigating the shenanigans. Who is quiet but around them yaps endlessly or is the solid quiet presence of thr group. Always working hard for their benefit. Researching and reading and doing the most like Frodo did too. He lets his friends carry him. He carries them. He's also quite introverted when not on stage it seems, enjoys his space and suchlike. But loves being with his friends and family and travelling even more. Also would be an adopted member of the elves.

Thank you for coming to my probably inaccurate tedtalk
