y'know it always bothered me how a lot of succession fans thought homosexuality was too "easy" of an answer for roman's sexual issues. it's something i've seen a lot- that whatever is "really" wrong with him is more interesting or complex than him simply being gay. and it's so frustrating because i view roman as one of those complex gay characters everyone claims they want but can't actually handle when they're right in front of them. like, has it occurred to any of you that when shiv said "rome, it's not gonna be you because dad thinks there's something wrong with you," that had a direct correlation to logan telling roman to get "straightened out" and literally calling him a faggot? for all these people love to dissect the language in succession, they have a remarkably difficult time picking up on homophobic and coded language even when it's... right there? they want roman to be this like, sexual deviant with mommy issues so badly when all signs point to him being gay and struggling to repress his attraction to (powerful, domineering) men. it's not that subtle either so i don't understand why people are still confused by it?

it does not matter if you have a genuine desire to do good (kendall) or a deep capacity for love (roman) or have comparatively progressive politics and are a victim of the misogynistic environment your father created (shiv). because if your sense of self is so intrinsically tied to oppressive capitalist structures, what good are your best impulses, your love, your decency? waystar is them and they are waystar what does any kindness they possess actually matter if they are only capable of acting upon it within the framework of the fascistic, patriarchal corporation that they have no desire to escape?

I have an anon twitter that I curated to be entirely about Palestine, covid-19, climate change, and ascendant fascism and then I find it depresses me!!

really very rich of Sherlock Scott Holmes to give the “everything else is just transport” speech while wearing, like, a Burberry button down and suit jacket, an enormous dramatic wool coat, chanel cologne, and at least three different brands of fancy hair product.

Martin Freeman

(with help from onlyforthepressed, celebreceipts, sophiekingawesome, australian-diaspora , theoriginalitgirl, and whatfandomisitanyway)

His ENTIRE performance in Ali G Indahouse was super racist and classist. Here are a few clips to give you a taste, the entire movie is on Netflix instant.

“When I moved up here this woman I know said, ‘Ooh! There are a lot of whiteys up there’, and I said, 'I love white people; I’ve no problem with them at all. The idea was that I was going to complain because there weren’t enough blues dances out here; not enough ragga around. But I’m not bothered by it.”

“Multiculturalism hasn’t and doesn’t help, because rightly or wrongly it polarises people so much. Racism is one thing and I don’t agree with that in any form but noticing that there are differences is normal and fine and to be encouraged.”

“We’ve reached a state now where it’s, 'You shouldn’t notice. Why are you noticing he’s got a bomb and has a beard and is Muslim and wants to kill your family?”

“There is no country in the world like this. If all of a sudden all the traffic wardens in Ghana were Welsh, they’d really notice and might not love it.  We give ourselves a hard time in this country in a sort of mea culpa way. But if we were that racist, people wouldn’t come. Very simple.”

“I really liked hip-hop until the gangsta rap took over. I come from a time when not every rap record was ’[n-word]’ this and ’[n-worda]’ that; an earlier socially and morally conscious hip-hop sensibility, when it was, 'Don’t call people [n-word]’. But now it's [n-word], [n-word], [n-word]  and it’s not funny or interesting politically, artistically or socially. I really don’t like it.” (Note that he didn’t say “n-word”, he said the actual word itself).

“The funny thing about the acting business is that there are more p**fs in it than you can have hot dinners thrown at you. But no one is out. It’s not so bad here, but in Hollywood? Jesus Christ. Why don’t they just admit it? No one cares if they’re gay or not. I certainly don’t.”

“I met Lucy Liu at the Emmy’s who was charming, but very ugly.  She’s a dog, come on, she’s a very unattractive woman.”

“Standing outside a location trailer is Martin Freeman. He is notably not wearing the safety helmets that are mandatory for everyone else on set, and is in the middle of explaining to one of the Sherlock runners – who is wearing her safety helmet – just why this is. “I’m a big fish, you see, love,” he says, sipping at his tea. “I’m… Johnny Big Bollocks. And you’re… you’re… what’s that stuff whales eat? Krill. You’re krill. Location krill. Krill wears a helmet.” ”

“He makes a comment about Una Stubbs that it would be inappropriate to repeat in The Times. (“I’ve been flirting with Una,” he concludes, after the bad story. “Well, it’s actually sexual aggression, but I often find the line between the two quite blurry.””

How his partner Amanda Abbington describes their first meeting: “Martin walked in and I just had a thunderbolt. It  dawned on me: "Oh, God it’s him!” We flirted with each other all day and when I went home he texted me, saying “You left and I wasn’t done flirting with you. That’s a bit rude”, which I thought was really smooth.“

”I’ve got drugs. I can just make them [mimes falling over]. Slip them something in their goblet. Some will get offended by that now, because they’ll call it rape or whatever. But, you know, for me it’s a helping hand.“

that kristen steward shoot is fun bc to the american eye she's breaking with feminine visuals & projecting a clear lesbian image whereas in central-western europe that's what the average straight woman on a campus looks like

Who still like johnlock in 2024 🥺😢🤲🏻

[elegantqueenpirate-blog]

the essence of johnlock is that the watson character has settled sustainably, tho unhappily, into heteronormative life when he meets the holmes character, while the holmes character has entirely rejected the task trying to pass as heterosexual/normatively masculine/neurotypical, so in a certain sense he’s freer than the watson but in another sense he’s even more isolated and lonely bc his abnormality makes him a social outcast. & then over the course of their relationship watson becomes more comfortable w himself and holmes becomes more emotionally open and less isolated. it’s like they have to be Freed from the two contrasting pitfalls that queer people trying to survive in normative society often fall into & the key to both of their escapes is each other
