So tired of shallow readings of texts that begin and end with "these two men were gay for each other" ESPECIALLY bc it almost always goes hand in hand with dismissing all female characters out of hand. Yes nick was gay for gatsby but daisy is an extremely important part of novel and gatsby's relationship to her is absolutely vital. Yes goodnight sweet prince is a little fruity but I also care deeply about the tense gender politics of hamlet and ophelia's relationship and her position as a foil to him and also isn't it SO much more interesting if Hamlet really did love her? If he loved her and yet? Like I'm not saying these men aren't gay but it's not worth sacrificing the women of the story

And ALSO this pattern comes with a tendency to oversimplify what makes the m/m relationships compelling in the first place. Nick is obsessed with Gatsby, and enthralled by his life, and his wealth, and horrified by his single-minded obsession, and unable to look away, to stop himself from being complicit. In the depths of his paranoia, Horatio is the only person Hamlet seems to trust implicitly to tell him the truth, and eventually, to retell the truth of his life to others. These are JUICY dynamics and they are not at all served by the impulse to turn a tragedy into a love story with no more substance than "these problems could be solved if they just got gay married"

if there's one thing we don't do enough on Tumblr it's ask people things. we have an ask box for this purpose but we never ask for people's opinions (at least not with good intentions) and we never ask how peoples days are. most people see ask boxes as "the place to send hatemail"

see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog "my dog" when it's technically "the family dog".......well first of all i still call my brother "my brother" and not "the family boy". although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i'm still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell

Will i ever find a companion in my milky clouds of heartfealt insanity

The most amazing digital circus is that I don't rememwbr asking

Two things this website hates and that’s women and gay people who are gay in the “I have sex with other gay people” way and not some sort of thinly defined yearning and homophobic joke based system largely applied to brothers and male coworkers in early 2000s television shows. Three things this website hates actually sorry silly me but this website does hate black people.

At what point are you guys going to stop scolding the trans woman for saying women. I’m not some other category. I’m a woman. This site hates women.

learning glitch productions greenlight the cartoon pilots based on toy sales is actually mind altering. an awesome reagan future for indie animation

ppl on tumblr talk about having headcanons for characters like it's activism
