harold, they're shapeshifters

Any Rothko that is like a Bart? Would be nice

That's Bart!

okay but we can't know for sure that the loud noise and bright flash offstage—which occurred after the character who was holding the gun exited the stage with it—was a gunshot, because we didn't get to directly see it

for all you can say about it as an adaptation, i think it's still absolutely wild that the untamed made xiyao canon. like you read the book and you're like "what the fuck is wrong with lan xichen" and the show answers: he was head over heels for the guy. first time meeting him he's rubbing his hands in front of everyone's salad. and don't get me started on zhu zanjin's interview that's like "you know how lwj and wwx are VERY GOOD FRIENDS well lxc and jgy are VERY GOOD FRIENDS also". deranged. incredible. fantastic. the best thing that's ever happened to me

but if I were to say that I don’t think vampires inherently and universally represent queerness and that if that’s the only way you engage with any story containing a vampire then a lot of very important messages are going to go straight over your head? i would be killed to death.

ESPECIALLY an issue when vampires very explicitly represent fear of outsider immigrant non-white invaders! Dracula can absolutely be read with a queer lens but we cannot let our desire for ~spooky gay stuff~ blind us to the very real xenophobia, antisemitism, and orientalism present in a LOT of the foundational media in vampire history! nor the racism present in modern vampire stories!!!

important addition i forgot that not everyone might know. similar to how ao3 bookmarks work, you can also link to non-ao3 fanworks using this format. so, for instance, if theres some fanart on tumblr that inspired you to write the fic? you can link that fanart to your fic!

he’s fucking him up against the fourth wall

theres an assumption that if an alien has an alien gender system they wouldnt understand homophobia but maybe they just have their own more complex version of homophobia. alien society with eight genders and a horribly complex web of what is considered socially acceptable that makes the gender binary look like easy mode. i'm inventing homophobia 2 and it's terrible.
