So, just to recount, we've got...

gay witches,

gay pirates,

a bisexual and genderfluid Norse god,

a bisexual and polyamorous Greek god,

another bisexual Greek god,

multiple gay Greek demigods,

and gay alien gemstones???

All in this lifetime?!

If y'all have any additions, feel free to leave 'em below.

rahhhh i love disability rep or disorder rep or poc rep or lgbtq rep or SA victim rep or literally any kind of rep for people who arent as seen as they need to be, it makes me feel all warm inside when everyones story is shared

I know that we’re all a bit confused about what happens in the last episode of Heartstopper with Imogen and Sahar at Prom. But if there’s one thing this show has tried to teach us again and again is that we shouldn’t be trying to guess and assume people’s identities. Especially before they are ready. I mean, do I need to remind y’all why Kit Connor left twitter? Everyone was making assumptions about what he is and isn’t. “Is he gay? Or is he straight?”

For crying out loud, we even get to see it in S1 of the show with everyone assuming a rugby player couldn’t be any shade of queer. Can we, just this one, let Alice and the writers and Imogen and Sahar and their respective actors tell us in due time. Can we enjoy a show about queer love? Can we applaud them for what they’ve created for us this far? I mean, they’ve done an incredible job so far! I trust that they will tell us the needed stories in due time. I know that they are just characters but this could be good practice for what folks should have done for Kit. And what we should do for others.

​Pyrrhus/Neoptolemus in TSOA is the perfect allegory of Hollywood filmmakers who try erasing Ancient Greece’s gay history.

Me waiting for a potential video essay on YouTube that explores and analyses the Queer/LGBTQ+ representation in Monty Python (in both the Tv Show and the Films) :

Bringing this back(again), because yeah he likes to make a joke, it's his way,but he always gives thought out responses. Even today's panel Misha talked about representation and how things changed. And I can guarantee it's the reason Misha took the role on Gotham Knights. A show ran by a lesbian with queer creators behind the scenes and a queer PoC writing staff. Misha praised GK for its representation and also said he's glad to see shows going more in that direction.

Halfway through Netflix's Kaos. This series is so damn fun! Tragically, it has not been Renewed for a second season. You would think the Internet's obsession with Jeff Goldblum would be strong enough, but alas!

Greek Mythology fans will love how incredibly gay (a-fucking-ffecttionate!) this show is. Mythology fans might be bothered by certain liberties taken with the source material, but those sorts of people are a negativity you do not need in your life!

Hades fans will love this show's Dionysus just as much as they love that game's Dionysus. He's basically a kitten, and he should be loved and protected.

Cliff Curtis here is determined to stray so far from his unfortunate elemental association from a garbage adaptation that I officially forgive him. Yes, he was Ozai in the Shyamalan Last Airbender, but between The Way of Water, the two Meg films, and his role here as Poseidon, his stint as a Fire Lord is forgiven.

I'm a simple chap. David Thewlis makes everything better (check out his Sandman role, damn that was so good!). His role as a sentient doormat Hades here is quite good to me.

My biggest complaint comes from the scene of Orpheus crossing the Styx. Note: half-naked Orpheus is a win! I'm disappointed that Scylla isn't actually shown and Charybdis is mostly hidden. I like monsters. Greek mythology is full of impressive monsters. Show me the damn monsters!! My aggrevation here is mitigated, though, because the Cerberus dogs are so incredibly cute, and they are shown often enough that being denied the fun ones can be politely ignored as long as Fotis keeps showing up on screen.

That is all!

This post is merely just unbrittled joy for self that I have to get out, don't mind it too much lol

But like... 👀 Alex (they/he/she/hir pronouns used bc fuck it up, they don't have a preferred set of pronouns listed anywhere anyways) from The A List, I have finally found genderqueer representation that I physically am keen on and I love them?? Like literally, they're so pretty and I love her character already?? (I'm projecting on his personality, gonna eat it at some point.)

Also hirs girlfriend, Petal?? She so fucking pretty, a flowery girl just so joyful looking, gentle and with an appreciation to the nature dydhbd, (honestly, Petal reminds me of my friend lol) but I love her character as well! Also I live for the multitude of accents in this show fjjfbfjdndb

I have never seen a genderqueer character before, like a character that *specifically* identifies as a genderqueer and not enby. I've seen plenty of enby characters by all means. But as a genderqueer being who does not associate the two to be synonyms I feel so fucking good seeing Alex & hirs character?? Like huh. And just aaaaaaAAAAAAAA. Do I wanna be her, do I wanna be with her or do a secret third option that even I don't know about. (Project)

Julianne Moore’s ‘Freckleface Strawberry’ Banned by the Department of Defense

I am stunned. The idea of banning books at any level is something I cannot support—period. But when it comes to children’s books? The very thought is outrageous and deeply troubling. It feels as though we are teetering on the edge of a dystopian reality, eerily reminiscent of the world depicted in Ray Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451, where books are outlawed and knowledge is…

So I'm going to spoil the article for you. Kitty x Yuri is ranked #1 and I am so freaking happy about that and I agree. Yes of course I am biased because I am a lesbian and want the lesbian ship to be endgame but also the reasoning the article gave makes sense. I will say that I think that the Min ho x Kitty ship and the yuri x kitty ship are on similar levels but I hate how many people have blown Yuri off by saying she is toxic when Min ho is as well.

It just really is homophobia again at its finest. Kitty currently actually really likes Yuri and feelings can't always be explained. Her and Yuri connected the first time they met. There was chemistry there before the drama started and they figured out who the other was. We get to see a beautiful growth in both of them in just the course of 1 season as they allow themselves to get to know the other better. They were beginning to build trust and a good friendship that are beautiful foundations for a lasting relationship.

We have seen the Min ho and Kitty relationship before. I would claim that it dominates media. Honestly I don't want or need to see another one. I don't want to see another representation of the boy that dislikes the girl in the beginning, treats her like crap, and then suddenly realize he loves her. I don't want to see another representation of a girl discovering the rude guy's personality is just a mask and falling for him. I would love if they became supportive friends for each other but I don't want another straight romance like that. We have so so many of those already. And don't anyone take this the wrong way. Please. I am not shitting on straight people or men. I just want queer people, especially queer women, represented and celebrated more than they have been.

I will be honest and say I just really hope the writers end up having Yuri and Kitty be endgame. It would be a beautiful, complex love story for them to end up together which more shows need to do for queer characters. It would be amazing if Kitty ended up with her and they gave us the queer representation we really fucking need. So many shows with sapphic relationships at the forefront get canceled and I really want this one to be different. Show me growth and challenges. Show me healthy resolutions and perseverance of a relationship between two young women.

We need this representation and I am manifesting, praying, hoping that they do that.

More Emily Windsnap goodness. This time fanart of someone else’s fanart! @artistic-moth-man ‘s Jake and genderbent Mary P. a.k.a. “Marty”. It’s rare to find someone do both fanart and fanfiction for this series. The series has strong LGBTQ+ allegories, so I like their idea depicting Mary & Jake as a same-sex couple.
