Various Queer Things

dru treatment where her prophetic dreams/visions were one of the signs that she had potential to be a slayer but she was turned and tormented before the current one had died and it never happened for her. but the potential is still there, unfulfilled

#spike’s slayer Thing is an oroborous#he’s never not been covered in one op why would you leave this in the tags this is so sexy

another cassavetes, but considering how woman under the influence went i think i should be calling this outing another rowland, because that it's her movies, it's her power, it's her fckn world, we all just live in it

to listen to later!

allan hawco will be like "is anyone gonna ask me about paul gross and gordon pinsent" at all hours of the day every day

writes about queerness in cinema but also my brain is dead so im watching ice princess (2005) and i mean it's not not got that queer girl energy to it but i also wish my brain was more awake and i could watch something a little more for my brain/soul. on the other hand i also used to see the trailer for this all the time on my dvds so it's sort of a callback to something i wanted to watch as a kid.

this movie is lesbians vibe though for sure. gen and casey's whole deal is very very fun -- on the whole i appreciate a story in which "the mean girl" actually isn't even mean, she's just obsessed with the thing she's really really good at, and once she realises the lead also really enjoys that thing they keep bigging each other up, even as the competition. (the mean girl's mother on the other hand......)

the testament of ann lee was so good and its only grown on me since seeing but I really think the most interesting part to me is how it frames the shakers as a refuge for people who are sexually at odds with society like of course we have Ann’s own sexual traumas and Williams and Mary’s explicit and implicit queerness but also looking at the Wardley’s in their sexless marriage and John Hocknell being unmarried with a bastard son and how the first testament we see at a shakers meeting being a man who confesses to looking at his sister. The movie shows you the exact type of person that would be drawn to ann and her freedom from the sexual world without like making an explicit point of it or undermining ann’s or anyone else’s own belief in their gospel in a very compassionate way.
