PLEASE STOP SAY "CONSUMING" AND "MEDIAS" AND "CONTENT" PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SAY WATCHING A FILM, LISTENING TO MUSIC, LOOKING AT/ENJOYING ART, READING A BOOK
"Consuming" is a capitalist/neo-fascist way to interact with art, it forces to treat art as a product to be thrown away once we're done with it, and to rebrand creativity as productivity (especially with the rise of AI). IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRAWL OUT OF MY SKIN why is everyone saying that ugly awful word!! And don't get me started on "content" !!
Art takes hours, pain, doubt, passion, inspiration, a piece of self, creativity, and human experience. Stop reducing it to something to consume, it's so degrading for artists.
Tessa was always a morbid child and grew up to be a morbid adult.
Morbid in all the best ways. She’s not swayed by gore, human or drone. It’s just something thats never bothered her wich grants her with the abundant ability to work in drone mechanics.
Drones have soft and squishy internal parts here and there so it can get quite gross and messy when it comes to the abdominal area but she loves the role she’s been thrust into after becoming a drone after her death. She’s living her dream! She just wishes she could have stayed in Australia, the cold and snow on Copper 9 is almost unbearable to her. Not so much because it’s too cold she just misses the vast heat and amazing landscapes/sounds of Australia. None the less she gets an ever growing group of friends, a safe place to sleep, adoptive family that truly loves her and supports her, quality cuddle time with her drones, watching her drones take off with their own lives and live free, and work in a field she never even knew existed! She gets to expand her knowledge more and more without having someone there to hinder her. Her adoptive father has been nothing but kind and supportive, her adoptive siblings hardly know her but they are willing to lend whatever they can to support her and drive her forward
Do you crave more ✨canon queer stories✨ in your fandom experience? Are you begging for more major character representation that you don’t have to headcanon for yourself?
Then have I got the kickstarter for you!
The Tin Can Bros (a comedy trio and makers of live theatre, digital sketches, webseries, you name it! You might know them from all the work they’ve done with Starkid—founding Tin Can Brothers Joey and Brian played Ron and Quirrell in A Very Potter Musical) are launching a brand new season of projects, most of which contain QUEER MAJOR CHARACTERS AND THEMES. These guys have got gays, they’ve got lesbians, they’ve got trans and gnc characters, they’ve got wholesome first love and Hannigram levels of fucked-up toxicity. It’s a whole cornucopia!! They’re planning to produce work in Los Angeles, NYC, London, Edinburgh, and Adelaide, but there will be digital tickets so you can watch where ever you are!
We’ve got:
-Two Rocky Horror-style concerts of the cult-hit, spy-movie parody musical Spies Are Forever. Gay protagonist who will sear himself into your heart! Seriously, his relationship with fellow spy Owen will emotionally destroy you for at least seven years.
-A concert of the developing musical This Could Be on Broadway, which follows a group of high school kids putting on a production of The Matrix: The Musical (not a show in real life) in their theatre department. A bunch of the central kids are canonically some flavor of queer, and there’s a central, very sweet lesbian romance that includes a trans character. She’s played trans actress Esther Fallick, who also worked with TCB as a consultant to make the character and show as authentic as possible. Seriously, if you want to see a trans teen thriving in their own skin, this is the show for you.
-An Edinburgh Fringe Fest production of The Solve It Squad Returns, a Scooby-Doo parody that follows the parodic versions of the Scooby Gang when they reunite as fucked-up adults to finally confront the almost-twenty-years-past traumatic murder of their dog Cluebert. I promise it’s funnier than it sounds. Esther, the Velma-esque super genius, is gender non-conforming and identifies with they/them pronouns. They also have a girlfriend WITH a boyfriend!
-A workshop reading of the QUEER SCI-FI TELEVISION COMEDY PILOT Intelligent Life. Unlike the other projects I’ve mentioned, this one is new to the TCB fans, but will follow a pair of ex-boyfriends forced to survive together in an extra-terrestrial colony. From the sound of it, there will be plenty of queer supporting characters as well. This frankly sounds like it could be tumblr’s dream show, and it’d be great to support its development.
-The Great Debate—a live comedy game show where comedians debate silly things. While this obviously won’t have narrative gay rep like the other projects, it will showcase gay talent (at the very least, Tin Can Brother Corey will participate in every show) and may include debates involving queer topics.
-Gross Prophets, in which three wannabe gurus/cult leaders lead a seminar on the path to enlightenment. This is a completely new stage musical so I honestly don’t know if it will contain any queer characters or themes. But the TCB queer track record is pretty good!
Guys, I’m so genuinely so excited by this season. But all this awesome queer art won’t happen unless we get their kickstarter funded. And they need our help! So let’s get fundraising!!
TLDR; Comedy group Tin Can Bros are attempting to fund a season positively filled with queer stories and characters, and they need help! If you want to support the creation of queer theatre and the development of queer TV, consider checking them out and giving to the kickstarter!
