a show doesn't necessarily have to be ABOUT queerness to BE a queer show. it's a cultural dialect that cishets don't quite speak.

edit: i gotta clarify that the shows do indeed still have to have actual queer characters in them to count

Honestly, I don't mind buff and hairless spock in SNW that much because in my mind I just pretend that spock went through a fuck boy gym rat phase in his 20s because he wanted to look like a ~sexy~ vulcan.

And that's why in TOS in his 30s, he doesn't talk about his past starfleet postings that much because he's embarrassed about it.

Like in a "wow I can't believe Pike had to see me in my fuckboy waxing my chest hoe era, better not tell Kirk about this or else I'd be teased about it until the end of times, let's just pretend I was always a proper logical Vulcan"

Hey, we've seen some fantastic animated series lately. If you haven't already, run right now and check out

Arcane

Blue Eye Samurai

Scavengers Reign

Chainsaw Man

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Tear Along the Dotted Line

Love Death + Robots

Arcane and Blue Eye Samurai compete for the best animated series I've ever seen, of all time, and they're both ongoing. That's wild. What gorgeous animation. Scavengers Reign is a wonderful sci-fi series that's actually original, and I'm sad to say that's a rarity. It shouldn't be! I'll let you discover the rest. Just a reminder that Love Death + Robots is an anthology, and as usually this entails hits and misses. But the hits are SO good.

Other good series that are not groundbreaking or anything in terms of animation (which is generally on purpose: most of them aim to emulate a specific established style, and succeed), but they still get the job done, and are fun to watch:

Castlevania (and Castlevania: Nocturne)

Star Trek: Lower Decks

Invincible

The Legend of Vox Machina

Dragon Age: Absolution

Good stuff!

I was unprepared for his attack. I instinctively used the Vulcan death boop.

Love that Star Trek accurately portrays humans in the future as being DTF practically anything. Works wonders for diplomacy.

"Sure I don't find you attractive, but give me ten minutes, your Excellency, and I'll find someone on this ship who's into tentacles and slime."

We may not be super intelligent or super strong, but give humans a chance. We're annoyingly likeable, tenacious, stubborn, and attracted to the weirdest things.

How you people watch a show but are not in the fandom is wild to me, like wdym you can consume a piece of media without it consuming yourself? You guys don’t obsess to the point of madness over those fictional people? Just me?

i guess what i really wanted for odo was for him to find a Great Link elsewhere--to be so intimately connected to something beyond the fascistic fear of the other changelings--to start a new community of changelings that didn't spend every second as a unified soup but as quite literally everything--birds and rocks and particles and everything suited for every environment--to find his ending/new beginning in a more distinct multiplicity. i wanted this to be the thing that broke the united ranks of the dominion, the simple concept of the necessity of uncertainty in muchness, and all the ways changelings are the best suited to explore it, instead of a simple illness. or at least, i wanted there to be both? bc it's not like mortality and uncertainty don't cause the same fear. i don't know--there was just something delicate about the character, something delicate that felt to me like the whole point of the character. delicate but not fragile. like his obligations to his kind could've been a little different than them all learning a lesson. i think his thesis statement should've echoed lwaxana saying, "i can swim."
