when i release my stede is femme comp y'all better appreciate me </3
#i'm spending. a lot of time editing this. and it means a lot to me#will it be as compelling to people as Spock is Gay? probably not#but idk this character just. means a lot to me.#having a lead in a show that is allowed to be effeminate and to find love#and the only people attacking him for effeminacy are villians#and the reasons the good characters don't like him is that he's a bad pirate. not because he's gay#although i do also worry about two things.#one. is my video going to be too long to post on tumblr. and two.#are people going to come at me for including ''pathetic'' moments?#because a key tenant of queer male effeminacy IS the fact that we are viewed by society as cowards#and too emotional and such. because we wear our hearts on our sleeves#i made an absolutely comical girly shriek just today because i knocked over a bag of laundry#that little shriek is just as much a part of me as my skirts and my lack-of-tolerance towards men being creeps#what i am NOT worried about is people saying ''um actually stede isn't femme?'' to me. bc like. i'm allowed to interpret the character#oh you don't see my vision? [stede voice] not my problem.
