My, my...What a big boy you are, Nicholas...😘🥰🤗

in 2023, ahead of the release of the film adaptation of Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue, i wrote a series of posts giving context to references they used in the novel. while we wait for the release of the second film, i spent pride month reposting the posts that contextualise the things alex mentions in chapter 7 when coming to understand his connection to the queer community and history as someone who is newly identifying as a bisexual man. the tag i used was "elio is talking about queer history".

this post exists as a masterpost that collects all the links to the individual posts.

It’s a "history, huh?" kind of day 📖

Inspired by the story of Alex 🤠 and Henry 👑 🦊 I wanted to make something simple and minimalist for this specific universe.
