if i had a nickel for every time sfth did a sapphic western with musical segments, slightly overbearing fathers, luke playing some sort of animal, romeo and juliet parallels, queer parents, weirdly high voices, girlfailure lesbian cowpokes, and ajās character being attracted to lukeās character, iād have two nickels which isnāt a lot but itās weird itās happened twice
It's so funny when you think about the OG captains and the deals Nicklaus probably made with them because he absolutely had a favorite
Captain Rose: Ship is sunk in the Black Sea he and most of his crew die
Captain Shadowbeard: Is ambushed and killed by the navy, most of his crew also die
The Dread Queen: Dies and becomes the goddess of death with her own domain. Her crew, including her wife are all alive and have metal Black Sea related powers.
actually the real risk with being companionless/covenless as a vampire isn't soul-crushing loneliness it's the fact that isolated vampires just start doing anything. four grown ass men got divorced last season and the second they live alone lestat starts a middling soundcloud career, louis starts stalking some poor waitress, daniel becomes a bowling fanatic, and armand is in fucking ohio
brennan lee mulligan loves lou wilson so much that itās almost a plot hole because normal people donāt usually love people like that but of course, itās lou wilson, thatās the only appropriate way to feel about him
Heās a fish. Heās a terrorist. He has four moms and 2-3 ādadsā. Heās in love with his best friends to a codependent degree. He is father to a frogtopus. Heās asexual. Heās so full of guilt. Bitches hate him for his autistic swagger. He died that one time.
I think a lot of young queers folks (like me. Not trying to be all elderly about this I'm literally a gen z) today need to watch the good oldies about our community.
ā ļø: I don't mean, in any way shape or form to insult the newer queer shows/movies. I love SPOP. I love TOH. I read and loved Heart stopper. However, because of the restraint of mainstream media, they have a very... palatable?? way to portray the community. I am NOT blaming the creators (who I'm sure would love to go a bit further down on their portrayals if given the option)
SO! I have nice recommendations that I, personally, enjoy a lot. They're in no particular order.
A classic, for starters. But I'm a cheerleader!: Very campy, barbie-y, funny and free on YouTube. A cheerleader is sent to a conversation camp when her social circle realizes that she might be into girls. (It has a very unrealistic portrayal of conversation camps, though. Very cartoony) my comfort movie fr fr
Priscilla, queen of the desert: A trio of drag queens travel across the desert on a big, old bus. They fight, there's some falling in love. They talk a lot about gender identity, queer childhoods and similar topics. I've only been able to find this one (and most of the ones on this list, since I don't have any streaming devices) on illegal websites. There's very, very direct homophobia, SA, physical abuse, child neglect, yk, the American dream. The queens are the funnier thing ever, the romance plotlines are absolutely delightful and well-rounded. Focuses a bit more on the community itself and interpersonal relationships. All around, a solid 10/10.
Kinky boots: A very prude, engaged man inherits a shoe fabric. He's running out of ideas to stay in business, until he meets a drag queen. Same warnings (and themes!) as the last one. This one has a stronger focus on how the characters become more accepting and how our queen navigates being faced with them. I've rewatched it like a hundred times.
The birdcage (2000's) or le cauge aux folles (1970'): A gay couple runs a drag club. Their son brings home a conservative girlfriend and her family. This is more comedy lenient, but funny as fuck nonetheless.
Paris is burning: this one is a documentary, btw. Focuses on the life of drag queens in the 80's. Nothing I didn't already say on Priscilla tbh.
Saving face: A chinese-american girl that lives in a VERY conservatory and secluded community is trying (and failing) not to fall in love with a ballerina. At the same time, her mother (a widow, how scandalous!) gets mysteriously pregnant and gets kicked out of their family home. This one will hit close to home if you're from any ethnic, homophobic household. Cried a lot. Then cried some more. Happy ending, though!
D.E.B.S: THIS IS THE FUNNIEST, CUTEST MOVIE EVER. It's a full on romance comedy for when the mind is a bit too tired! The main plot is that, in a school of girls being trained to be top-notch spies (very totally spies type) a girl who's the top of her class falls in love with the biggest villainess they ever faced. More of a coming of age thing, that also explores the good old dilemma of choosing what the hell you're supposed to do with your life once you turn 18 (relatable tbh)
And now, for a book (in Spanish, though) we have "Las Malas": Narrated by a trans, poor prostitute. Extremely realistic in its narrative voice, cruel and very hurtful sometimes. This is actually one of my favorite books ever, it's so fucking underrated that I'm going to die if no one reads it. There's EVERYTHING. It genuinely drives me crazy to read this. We have queer moms, a child found in a freezing park, suicides, literally anything happens. I love it.
If anyone has any suggestions PLEASE drop them. I'm begging u
hellooo would you happen to have pictures of the whole ccgw programme? i would very much like to see them (no pressure ofc just thought iād ask!)
glad you enjoyed ccgw!!!!
hereās pictures i have of the in character part of the programme (iāll post the out of character part soon if people want to see that too but iām using the mobile app and hit the limit of photos)!!
My favourite part about mischief movie night in is that these are incredibly serious actors. A large portion of them have been on broadway. Twice. Some of them are considered some of the most talented actors, directors and writers currently working in their field. These people have oliviers and have toured the country with incredibly serious works. They sang a song about a sexy filing cabinet, created a hiest team all named Dan, featured a character names Jimbo Jumbo who became a rainbow, all sang a sexy version of mary had a little lamb and had the main villain of a piece be Lawrence Dallaglia. Harry Kershaw, a man who has appeared on both Broadway and the West End, forgot his own name. Jonathan Sayer, responsible for one of the greatest theatrical works of the 21st century, made the afformentioned Harry Kershaw, say 'shcloom' in slow motion simply to be petty. They're serious actors, I swear.
