there’s one aspect of love lies bleeding that i can’t stop thinking about.

it’s the fact that in all of their marketing they never touched on the absolute Freakish aspect of this move (which of course is intentional). the fact that there are these little pockets of supernatural moments when the entire rest of the movie is grounded in some type of reality.

the more i think about it, the more i realize these grotesque visuals (jackie throwing up lou and slightly deforming as she does so) (and then at the end of the movie growing absolutely Massive in size when she senses lou getting hurt) could be interpreted as an allegory for how queer people were viewed during this time period, and still are.

when you couple the idea of queerness being viewed as freakish and unnatural with the fact these are two women who are non-conforming in some way—jackie being a bodybuilder and lou being a butch lesbian ALL while living in a very isolated town—you get the overlap of gender and sexuality-based prejudice.

the way jackie deforms and has these outbursts, and then confesses to lou she “doesn’t know what’s wrong with her” reminds me of nightmare on elm street II. just this character viscerally feeling that something is eating away at them from the inside.

we are outsiders viewing lou and jackie’s experiences. maybe we also bear witness and are active participants of how Their world views them, too.

i need to be stronger. i need to get bigger. i need to embrace the urges. i need to hear the boy inside of me and listen to what he’s telling me. i need to start testosterone.

QUESTION FOR MY FELLOW BUTCHES is teaching a butch job? do you have any butch teachers you remember?

Remember to affirm the butch in your friend group by allowing them to be the designated Holder of Bags during outings (if they are able) !

GAH fair enough i'll try cook up something else.... i will say sometimes i do send different people very similar things by complete accident because my memory is horrible and i forget what i've said to who😭😭

just from the top of my head right now though (just finished a nightmare hell world shift at work so i need to think about The Characters or i'll die):

cirrus helping aurora discover and explore Butchism❤️ BUTCH LESBIANS 5EVER

cumulus washes, dries, and brushes cirrus' hair for her when her arms are too sore/tired to reach up (in my mind cirrus has EDS just like meeee:3 )

controversial take but short cirrus and tall cumulus is so real to me.... BUT cirrus is still the big spoon. she jetpacks it

cumulus: why is it taking her so long to text me back....

cirrus: google how do i spell gorjus

cirrus has AWFUL penmanship (it's either EDS or autism, or both! I'm still figuring that out myself.) and cumulus cannot stand it. she loves that girl but absolutely despises her handwriting. in a similar vein, cirrus is god awful at wrapping presents and cumulus will confiscate them and wrap them herself ("ITS NOT THAT BAD ITLL GET TORN OFF ANYWAYS!" "it is that bad and i don't care")

i think cirrus is just bad with her hands in general for a number of reasons (world's worst handjob giver💔 sad but true. millions cried.) so cumulus often does fine motor tasks for her (writing things down, wrapping presents, sometimes cutting up her food for her when it's just the two of them. they are so tender.... ue ue ue)

cirrus can't swim. that's all

ironically, cumulus is somewhat afraid of heights and cirrus is TERRIFIED of flying bugs (especially moths) (which makes phantom very sad because he loves them. she tries VERY HARD not to squash them whenever he's around....)

THIS ASK IS TOO LONG SO THATS ALL FOR NOW HOPE YOU ENJOY BYEEEE🧡🧡🧡🧡😇😇😇😇

WAHHHH I love your takes on Cirrus! The fandom as a whole (me included) get really caught up on Cirrus being the responsible, smart, in control one who is elegent and is good at everything because someone has to be, and I just love seeing thoughts of her that don't subscribe to that. Especially bad penmenship, bad speller, terrble present wrapper Cirrus.

We all headcanon her as such a perfectionist but what if she isn't? What if she's actually sort of a trainwreck sometimes? Also scared of heights cumulus? Butch Aurora and Cirrus? fuck yeah. FUCK YEAH. I love finding little ways to make the ghouls more "human" and well-rounded. I love the idea of reserved, elegent, sure of herself Cirrus--but I also love the idea that maybe she is also sort of a mess too. Terrible at painting her nails neatly. Impatient. One of the worst cooks in the Abbey. But genuine, and funny, and kind, and absolutely willing to step up and take care of her pack when she needs to. UGH I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH.

Do you know of any discord servers for just tma butches?

A good lot of the folks in the Butchism discord that Sev and I maintain are tma, but I don't know of any specifically for us.
