BOYFRIEND!!! bonus: proud bf :')

[queerly-autistic]

I've been turning over the 'boyfriends' deleted scene in my head all day, rotating it gently in my hands to get a good look at it from all angles, trying to figure out why it hit me in such an emotional place, and I realised it's because it's so...young?

It just perfectly captures that wonder and surprise and joyfulness of being in love for the first time, and realising that you can suddenly use words like 'boyfriend' and they mean something tangible to you - testing out the language and definitions of your relationship for the first time and being absolutely giddy with it all.

And the fact that it's two middle aged men, who have both been on their own specifically queer journeys, gives it a whole other layer of meaning and importance.

As queer people, so many of us were denied the opportunity to have these experiences when we were kids; standing on the sidelines and watching our peers go through all these rites of passage, whilst never quite able to reach out and touch it ourselves. And I think many of us live in perpetual fear that because we didn't to get to have this as kids, then we've missed out, and we will never get the chance to have those experiences in the same way.

But it isn't too late.

My mum came out as gay at 50, and I watched her go through the same thing when she met her first ever girlfriend (who is now her wife): the absolute excited youthful joy of being in love and getting to do all the things she never got a chance to do when she was younger. As a twenty year old, I was a bit annoyed and embarrassed by my mum suddenly turning into a lovesick teenager, but looking back on it now as a thirty-something, it actually makes me well up slightly thinking about how absolutely beautiful it was.

And that's why the 'boyfriend' moment puts me in such an emotional headspace. Because what this silly show did was cup my face gently in its hands and say 'it's never too late to have this'.

I'm so, so glad that we have so much representation for younger queers these days; that young queers get to see themselves represented on screen, having all these experiences that every young person deserves to have. But it's so much rarer for us to see older queers represented in this way, too. Older queers getting to have this is so important, and watching these two men in their 40s experience this, being allowed to revel in the giddy joy of first love - omg we're boyfriends! - like the happy lovesick teenagers they thought they'd forever lost the chance to be, it's just everything to me.

Changed the lyrics to “My Kind of Town” to cope with OFMD being cancelled

Posted to my second channel. Can't sing and video got claimed, but I had fun.

My Kind of Crew (Frank Sinatra - My Kind of Town)

[Intro]

Now this could only happen to a guy like me

And only happen on a ship like this

So may I say to each of you most gratefully

As I throw each one of you a kiss, this is...

[Verse 1]

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of pirates, too

Pirates who smile at you

And each time I roam, the Revenge is

Calling me home, the Revenge is

Yes it’s a queer dream come true

It's my kind of crew

[Verse 2]

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of marmalade

And my love never fades

And each time I part, the Revenge is

Tuggin' my heart, the Revenge is

The wholesome queerness, the Revenge is

The living legend, the Revenge is

One crew that won't closet you

It's my kind of crew!
