Hello

The Pale Blue Eye (2022)

bad lgbt representation: An obviously queercoded flamboyant villain who makes it seem like some sort of a chicken-or-the-egg question of whether they're gay because they're evil or evil because they're gay.
better lgbt representation: A queer character who's literally just a regular person. They just happen to be gay, aren't better or worse for it, and it has nothing to do with the plot.
but consider: Both in the same story. The latter one would Strongly Prefer if them being gay had nothing to do with the plot, but unfortunately the villain is their ex. And the ex is not Evil because of the gay thing, the whole Spiked Skulls And Lime Green Fire was just always their thing and an ugly breakup seemed like a great excuse to go completely off the rails.

@bettsplendens i'd just like you to know that this is my favorite comment on this post and i'd like it to be memorialized

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head

There's something so deeply calming about watching megafauna prance and gambol about like they're little lambs

Bison pronking is already so magical, and then the double rainbow and the happy birdsong just put it way over the top

Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust

Always nice when math helps make it all the more clear how ridiculously reasonable the worker demands are.

This is what the studios have brought everything to a grinding halt for.
