#lgtb representation

[miceandbooks]

I have finished reading The Vampire Lestat, and I can't say how much I have enjoyed it, specially the questions the book throws at you: the discussion of what means to be good, what means to be evil, the different POVs on religions, the search for a purpose, the existencial horror of immortality.

The queerness of it all. There's no way you could convince me that Lestat isn't panromantic and asexual (you could argue the same for Louis and every other vampire). I looooove to finally see myself represented in a book. The desperation that the immortals have to find someone to spend eternity with, felt so close to my hear. I sometimes feel that it will be impossible to find a life partner that wants me despite my sexuality, that truly understands and accepts me.

The parts with Akasha and Enkil were supremely creepy, I think they show the true terror of immortality and the unknown. My head kept filling in the gaps, and the uncanny nature of those passages was fantastic.

And I loved the reunion with Louis. Oooh, my heart! It's a problematic relationship, but it moved me. I really liked to see Louis and their relationship from the eyes of Lestat. But, I don't think this book cancels out the validity of Louis narration. There's two sides to any relationship, and I refuse to take Lestat's as the absolute truth.

One thing I need for next season of Legends of Tomorrow is another Queer pairing, of any kind, maybe just an episode hook-up or something, but we’ve been living off Avalance for a while now, and I mean, I’m not complaining about all the Avalance content we’ve had, but I need MORE

Like maybe Lita or Astra get girlfriends, or give Gary or Behrad a boyfriend, I don’t know, please

Lexa death wasn't pointless. It was hard, yes; it was horrible, yes; but it wasn't pointless. If Lexa died in a fight or a war, the whole plot would have changed.  The Conclave, the Onekru, the entire Octavia arc, the Madi arc and Sheinheda part, would not have sense because all of it came because of how Lexa died. The problem with Lexa death is the fact that the 100 doesn't make a good job in LGTB representation. Miller and Jackson didn't receive the same amount of quality time as other hetero ship like Memori, Lintavia, or Kabby, or even Jasper and Maya (it was more like Marper, suddenly they're there). The problem is that when you treat homosexual people like unicorns (you know, only one of their kind exists), you can't kill them off because... what kind of monster kills a unicorn? The only way to do that right (you know, not killing to offer shock but as a part of the plot) is by having more homosexual relationships. We have 3 gays, 2 lesbian and 1 bisexual. As a bisexual person, I tell you it's not a good show for representation. It is one of my favourite show, yeah, but not good enough for LGTB representation.

I always tell myself that I am “deconstructed” enough, but when I try to draw my cis heterosexual male characters I fall into the same stereotypes again: i can’t picture them not being masculine. So that this guy (Red) here is wearing a gerbera on his head is, like, SO new to me. The idea was to give him a flower crown but I think I’ll leave that to an even rougher and more “bad boy” guy. Red here, Red is a Good Guy. And he can totally wear flowers. But the other one? That’ll one be a challenge. 

The problem though, isn’t to draw the flower crown or not. The problem is that I feel bothered by it. I feel bothered when I see my male characters not being masculine or not showing seriousness/toughness enough. And that right there is not right. Red can still like girls and fight the forces of evil with his fists and wear a flower crown because that’s fine. And I should’ve learned it by now.

As it is with everything, it takes time. I’ll get there, eventually. Flowers or clothes don’t have gender, Ximena, get it right for once.

I laughed a lot with this film

Insatiable has so many plot-twist that I don’t trust the characters true intentions anymore.

I just hope that the gay is real.

Sheith is Endgame

The main complaint about Korrasami was the lack of build, right? Well it seems to me like Sheith is being built to death I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
