I don't want good queer representation. I want whatever the hell those fuckers have in Love & Human Remains.

saw a local theatre production of salomé where salomé was a tgirl john the baptist was specifically deliberately misgendering to hide his lust for her. in the head monologue at the end it was heavily implied she was planning to fuck his mouth. this actually is exactly what wilde was thinking i believe i think if he saw it he’d be like yeah

if i was a knight and you were a knight and we were on a quest for many seasons, would you cut and detangle my hair and accompany me to the river to wash? would you help me buckle my armour back on?

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.
