(goes to a Chinese restaurant in my hometown) (suddenly remembers I’m gay) oh god the fucking clown...

#i swear on my life sometimes when i go to chinese restaurants i think to myself ‘oh god the clown’ on autopilot #and sit there confused at myself for a second before remembering this is where i got it from #it

I just read all your capeposts on substack and I found them very interesting and insightful. and it gave me a question I wanted to ask you: in both "The Sexual Politics" and to a lesser extent "Conservatism" you touch on how "becoming like Oliver" is essentially code for Hal becoming sissified, gay, unmasculine- that's a really strong reading, and I'm wondering if you have any further thoughts on that aspect, particularly since I think it's interesting that Ollie's own masculinity and heterosexuality are themselves almost never actually questioned by the text

i plan to hopefully soon do an article all about hal and oliver and the hard traveling heroes stuff and how it impacted both their characters in publication, so i’ll probably talk about this in there! thank you so much for being interested and keep an eye out!!!!

#just off the dome though: i think the emasculating part is the idea of a strong capable hero being made to doubt himself #it’s not about the beliefs themselves. hal is made into a sissy because his beliefs are changing and becoming more classically liberal #but oliver is not unmasculine for having those beliefs because… he already has them. he is the dominant one changing someone ELSE’S mind #it’s like a weird ancient greek idea of homosexuality where it’s not bad to be gay if you’re on top

i just found your substack and the article you just posted about sexual politics and gender roles in green lantern was so interesting and fun to read! it put into words a lot of random disconnected thoughts i've had about halcarol before and it was cool seeing everything written out like that esp bc it all runs a lotttt deeper than i thought it did (as someone who wasn't yet done a complete deep dive on older gl comics)

thank you so much!!! most of the stuff i have up on there right now is just condensed/better-organized versions of various informal posts and twitter threads i’ve done, so i’m glad it reads well in the substack format. and YEAH omg they’re probably one of the most interesting m/f relationships in DC spanning a really long period there’s a lot of meat to get at in there, especially in the older stuff where i think they paradoxically had more freedom to get weird with it in terms of that stuff

if a part of a superhero’s costume is ubiquitous enough it starts feeling weird to see them without it and i start having the “ewww put your clothes back on” reaction even if they just took off a cape or a pair of glasses

#no visor cyclops is the worst one. why is he naked

cyclops is the coolest x-man. like trying to pick which one is the “coolest” is a bit of a losing game when it comes to the x-frauds but if we’re doing it, it’s cyclops

only one holding a candle is storm. people who say it’s wolverine needs their brains examined. come back to me when that guy can shoot lasers out of his eyeballs

thirty seconds after i made this post i googled the writers and producers of a random song out of curiosity and it turned out to have been produced by a guy whose stage name is “scott summers”

this movie has some extremely stilted fight scenes and revolutionarily terrible dialogue but unfortunately a select amount of unbelievably cool things do happen in it

#and girldad wolverine rules.
