Clueless, along with Fire Island (an amazing modern queer retelling of Pride and Prejudice) proves that Jane Austen's novels work in any time and any setting. Her characters and stories are timeless.

—we dream of each other. they stop when we meet.

—why?

—i believe it’s because...

—why us?

—that way madness lies.

i like it when it leans towards vagueness in the first movie, the way that the older ones are so old that sometimes some things are lost to the mists of time or memory. i like that we don’t have a pinned era of birth for andy, quynh, and lykon. even a definite answer on who’s older, lykon who lost his immortality earlier or andy, is left open.

—how old?

—too old.

—andy was alone for a long time before she found someone like her, a very long time.

i’m also more interested in the snippets of old experiences they drip-feed to curious baby member nile and by extension, the audience, like the abandoned mine in val d’argent. andy says that they’ve been using it as a safehouse since the 1150s which, if we put that tidbit together with earlier notes on the timeline by nicky and joe (eg. they died in the crusades + andy and quynh had been companions before the crusades + quynh was locked into the iron maiden in tudor england) then it means that quynh also lived in that mine, that it’s likely that the stuff piled in there is not only andy’s but also quynh’s.

I just finished reading ’Stone Butch Blues’ for the first time. A book has never wrung out so many tears out of me - both the happy ones and those you cant stop, the ones that feel as if theyre sucking out all the air out of your lungs.

Never before have i seen myself in a main character so much, which was both exhilarating and terrifying. I don’t think till now it has really sunk how lonely life as a butch can be.

I mourn the version of myself that never got to talk to an older bull butch, to ask how we’re supposed to survive this, how to not feel like a fraud. I mourn that we dont have spaces for dykes anymore, no refuge to go to.

Even with the heaviness of all that - i’m hopeful. The message that Leslie Feinberg left me with is „Fight tooth and nail for your community. Organize. Love each other.” Its just incredibly difficult to find that very community to give my all to.
