tbh its not entirely fair to paint all blatant rep as poor in comparison to queercoding (altho i do love some good queercoding). i think the reason so much blatant rep is Like That, while queercoded stuff feels so much more meaningful and real, is because the blatant rep we often experience is made to Market To The Queers. while it may have queer creatives working on it, the reason its created is to make money off of queers. its trendy. so just write a fairly surface level fluffy movie about white queer teens and get some cash! its blatant, which means it will be treated as a groundbreaking queer media especially by liberals.
while queercoded media on the other hand (intentional or not) cant or wont just slap two conventionally attractive teens on screen and make them kiss and get those rainbow dollars. its an expression of queer silencing, the quiet thats left when you arent allowed to say what you desperately want to. when you cant spoon-feed your audience queerness you have to. yknow. actually think about what it means and how to express that artistically. you have to show and not tell.
thats all to say, there is blatant queer rep that is good. but you probably aren't gonna find it on amazon prime. that kind of rep is being made by queer artists making indie films. i promise you its not either "blatant queerness that feels shallow" or "deep queerness thats not allowed to be blatant". theres a secret third option and its "capitalism will never liberate you and you need to actually support indie queer artists and actively reject queer capitalism to experience the breadth and width of what queer art is capable of being and doing."

I love how Fyodor's eyes are drawn. They convey his thoughts and who he is as a character so well. Like when he has that sinister smirk on his face, the empty eyes add volumes to that look and it sends shivers down your spine. Or when he's surprised by something, he doesn't stop it from showing, you can see it in the way his eyes widen in shock. They are drawn to show such emotion, even at the times when he's feeling nothing or when he's about to do some damage.
That's my TED Talk on this man's eyes, thank you and goodnight.

If half alive has 1000 fans I am one of them. If half alive has 1 fan, I am that fan
#text#august rambles#this is brought to you by seeing someone's review for them. and saying they didn't like the ep because it was standard#and that now not yet was better but had a bunch of poor songs. some of them bad#they even said still feel wasn't good because it was appealing too much to 'teen angst'#anyway i couldn't read the rest i had to leave#it was too painful i like the music too much we viewed it from different standpoints ack#i see a lot of people saying half alive is knock off twenty one pilots and like i see what they're saying. they are similar but#why does that mean its a knock off. what if they are just similar. half alive is clearly doing they're own thing. they're not copying them#maybe. that is just what that band is good at doing! the same as twenty one pilots. just cuz twenty one pilots came first doesn't mean#they own the scene. (you can argue they're better at they're music but if you're gonna do that make sure you're comparing the early stuff)#anyway rant about this because. i really like half alive and just dsbkncjnvb you don't need to be a fan#you don't need to think they're awesome. you can have an opinion outside of mine#but please be nice. and remember. it's Your opinion it's not Truth. if you don't like the song. you don't like it#if you think the repetition is boring. its not for you. if the 'angst' is stupid. its not for you. if the song doesn't hold weight.#it's not for you. the artist wrote this. and worked with other people to publish it#clearly they cared and other people saw worth in it. and like!! the fact that they're not big name also means they Can't get away with like#stupid filler stuff. they don't have enough of a name they gotta impress#idk i care too much. i see things like this and im just. ugh. it feels pretentious#half alive

Still working on queuing the last of the mad scientist set on OF and I know that a set is a personal win when there are parts of it that just make me go, "What the fuck, I look amazing here. I'm so hot???"

project moon sucks now and I really don't think there's anyway to pull up from that nosedive at this point but library of ruina will have an eternal deathgrip on me.
which is the big reason I'm doing my no commentary run on youtube, though its probably not the only one, I want to do my own. Both as a sense of closure but also so I have a resource I made myself that I can direct my friends to who can't play the game or don't want to acquire the game in the first place.
.... I maybe should post it to tumblr I guess? idk I feel like most of the people who follow me and are interested in library of ruina either played the game, will play the game, or are in the discords where I already posted the link to the playlist.
where was I going with this. oh right. angela. they could never make me hate her. clap for her right now.
god I wish pm hadn't turned out like this. we're probably not getting distortion detective continuation and even if we did it would still be tainted just like limbus is...

now. i love and appreciate all mxtx fanartists very much. y’all make some gorgeous stuff. but i swear if i see ONE more art piece of an ANCIENT CHINESE CHARACTER with caucasian eye sockets i may lose it !!! look sometimes we DO have tall nose bridges ! usually we have pretty flat nose bridges but they can be tall! BUT DAMMIT WE HAVE NO EYE HOLLOWS NOT REALLY. that’s why i can’t do a cut crease eye look— i don’t have a cut crease !! i am pleading— keep the space between the eyebrows and the eyelids flat if you want to make your chinese character look chinese.

What is happening on Twitter?
‘likes’ are automatically private now for everyone, with no option to toggle that, and from MY understanding if you can’t see what other people are liking it makes it that much harder for peoples art to get attention
it’s a mess on top of a pile of garbage over there 😞

yknow as a kpop fan i sometimes stare at the amount of album variations people complain about in western music and laugh because it'll never be as hyper consumeristic as the vultures that are kpop companies

realizing its almost been 6 months since top surgery:)
#frank.txt#despite all the complications i had w healing im rlly happy w how my chest looks:)#ALTHOUGH. ONE BIG COMPLAINT#i used to use my bras as an extra pocket for my phone or lighter or whatever. but now i dont wear bras and therefore have no extra pocket#:( u win some u lose some :(#anyway all shirts look awesome on me now AND i can wear t shirts w funny text or image ans ppl wont feel awkward reading it:)#also the scars r fading rlly well! they almost blend in w my skin completely! (keyword almost. theyr still visible atp)#the way the scars r shaped is interesting bc theyre like a U shape. but bc of that when i inevitably build my pectoral muscles#the scars should blend into the shadow caused by thr muscle. i also dont have a Completrly flat chest bc im fat:0#tbh my surgeon did rlly well . i have a lot of problems with him bc hes kind of a dick but from like. idk an artistic standpoint hes good#but the doctor standpoint hes Uhm. well i lost a nipple and had severe infection due to denied antibiotics and lack of aftercare#BUT. the lost nipple isnt visible and it looks normal now somehow AND. i didn't die from the infection so. I mean#i just had to spend christmas with a fever of 103 LMAO#HONESTLY THO i would do it again EVEN if i knew i would go thru hell bc this surgery fuckn saved my life holy shit#i didnt realize just how much i dissociated from my own body bc of dysphoria. now i feel more in touch with it and happy!:)#also now i can Eventually get that chest tattoo i wanted for like 7 years lmao#erm yippee:)

Dude it is so fucking dire. I have screenshots of them but like. God. Gone. All because I was fucking stupid and didn't 100% foolproof it. I should have saved them to my switch like immediately after starting over like you can fucking do that. You don't have to wait until postgame or until you need to fill a story role. You can download miis directly from the main menu and just have them in storage. I should have fucking Done That. I was already imagining how funny it would be to have both sets. They're gone now. Because I was fucking stupid about it
