headcanon that bruce forgot to come up with an excuse for why he has scars on his chest and then in the immediate aftermath becomes the most INVOLVED CISGENDER ACTIVIST because of how the media treats him for being hypothetically trans

salt lake city has apparently the seventh largest lgbt population of any of the top 50 major cities in the united states and i think the main reason for this is that a lot of people here are essentially like me and multiple of my friends where they've moved to salt lake city because the homophobia in other parts of utah made life unbearable. like utah is one of the worst states in the country to be an LGBT youth specifically a trans youth, but salt lake city at least for its size and the state it unfortunately happens to be in is a pretty good place to be an LGBT adult. then as soon as you leave salt lake city people give you weird looks in public because you have a gay haircut. very interesting thing happening here

Dou you still give out Fun Facts on Fridays? Can I please have one?

I do indeed! I was out for a couple of weeks on vacation, so the inbox was closed, but we're open today. Possibly not next week, though, as I will be going out of town for a thing.

Anyhow! Today You Learned about the London Dragons!

Alright, so, in the City of London, which is the district of London that is where the old, medieval city was, has dragon statues along the roads in and out, marking the borders. The majority of them are like pictured above: silver, in a rampant position, holding a shield with the city's coat of arms (which notably has a St. George's Cross on it; remember, St. George is the patron of England). Originally, two were placed on the Coal Exchange in 1849, but after that building was demolished, the statues were repainted, repurposed, and replicated into markers for the roads.

That's right; the roads into the City of London are guarded by dragons.

And then there's Temple Bar.

Temple Bar was the old, big gateway to the city from Westminster (called 'Temple' because the Templar church was nearby), and in the late 1800's this memorial was put up, with a bigger dragon to guard the way. The plinth holds several relevant historical sculptures, but on top is the biggest of the guardian dragons.

Pretty cool, right?

The "Dragon at the Bar" appears as a minor but memorable antagonist in Stoneheart by Charlie Fletcher, a book where the statues of London all come to life (which is how I know about these things).

Finally got around to watching the first two episodes of Love In The Big City. Can’t stop ‪thinking about how, at its core, this show is about queer loneliness. How Yeong is surrounded by people who love and care for him, but every relationship feels superficial. The toll it takes on you when you spend your entire life hiding pieces of yourself. ‬The anguish when the choice is taken from you on who you share those pieces with.

Nam Yoonsu is doing such an outstanding job bringing this character to life. I can already tell the show is going to hold a special little place in my heart for a very long time. I have so much love for everyone involved in bringing this to life. I don’t think I’ve felt this way about a drama since I was a closeted teen watching Queer as Folk for the first time.
