Ummm... on a scale from 1 to 10 would you want to romance these boys?

Wren is a Fae who has come to the human world on an undisclosed mission. He quite literally runs into the MC and becomes their problem during his stay in Twin Coves. Which may not be so much of a problem, if you catch my drift ;)

It seems like there’s this urge to “apologize” for Lucio being tacky, or scale him back, or explain why his fashion choices/style are actually very good- 

Here’s the thing, in the nicest possible way: “tacky = bad” is a very heteronormative take.

Like Viv said, tacky is camp. Camp is, by definition, ostentatious, over-the-top, theatrical, effeminate, excessive, frivolous, and so on - it’s a mockery of the “sophistication” of high fashion, the “artistic” pretentiousness of the upper class. Camp is also, by definition, very very queer. Camp was born in drag queens’ basements on home sewing machines, at punk lesbian house shows, in gender-non-conforming folks fighting the post-50s crackdown of gender roles cobbling together outfits from estate sales and thrift stores. Camp has historically been upsetting to the mainstream art and fashion worlds because it “breaks the rules” in the loudest possible way - it doesn’t care about gender, it doesn’t care about body type, it doesn’t care about skin color, and most of all, it won’t let itself be shoved under the rug. 

And it’s still a huge part of being LGBT+ today. Non-binary mullet culture? floral shirts? spiked butch haircuts? shaving notches into your eyebrows? Trans guys and our terrible, terrible facial hair? it’s all camp. We don’t do what a cis-hetero-normative society wants us to do, so why would we dress the way it wants us to dress? Tacky and loud is tacky and proud.
