[Image ID: Text from Google search for "Queerbaiting" reading: Queerbaiting is a marketing technique for fiction and entertainment in which creators hint at, but do not depict, same-sex romance or other LGBTQ+ representation. The purpose of this method is to attract a queer or straight ally audience with the suggestion or possibility of relationships or characters that appeal to them. Wikipedia /End ID] 

real people being partially closeted or ambiguous about their own sexuality while making Gay Art is not queerbaiting

Stephanie Beatriz talking about being very conscious about choosing queer roles to play because she doesn’t want to have bad portrayals of her community out there.

Also, she feels very lucky now people reach her to play queer roles, like Vivienne came to her with the Vaggie role.

one of the funniest things when it comes to the majority of movies and tv shows (or any piece of media) is that 2 characters who are the same gender can have chemistry and sexual tension that are stronger than the strongest avenger and they will always canonically be “just platonic friends”, but a female character and a male character can have 1 quick, boring glance at each other and perhaps a plain conversation and the very next scene will cut to her riding his dick as they declare their love and devotion to each other. like it’s impossible for a man and a woman to be just friends in a piece of media and two characters being gay is just impossible. what are you so afraid of?

Nimona makes me flail about, screaming, frothing at the mouth, uninterpretable sounds coming from my soul, sobbing, gutted, floored.

Wish just makes me sit there like this: 😐

Really? You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that Disney deliberately sabotaged a film of theirs portraying a loving and healthy biracial family with an openly gay teenaged son by giving it no promoting whatsoever? Don't you think it might have something to do with that rather than Disney trying to be "woke"? Okay.

i saw the tv glow - review & favorite frames

one of my goals for 2025 was to watch more movies and since i finally worked up the courage and felt mentally stable enough, i decided to watch I Saw the TV Glow. and it gutted me out from the inside in the best way possible. it is 100% in my top ten all-time favorite movies.

the color palette, soundtrack, cinematography, and writing is absolutely impeccable. i adore how this movie discusses queerness. it truly was some amazing much needed representation, and i really hope to see more projects like it in the future!

here are some of my favorite frames:

(anyways, you guys should totally add me on letterboxd 😌💗)

It's always hilarious watching people go ; "grrrr there's too much sanitised sexless queer representation, we need more bad horny and messy queers grrr"

And those people almost exclusively consume children's cartoons and Highschool romcoms, like if you don't turn off Nick Jr and watch an actual show for Adults before I smack you upside the head. Clowns!
