6. Favorite title I used this year

my sister, who died young, takes up the task

[fatphobiabusters]

hey i just wanted to alert you to a fucking. disgusting account on twitter someone i follow discovered. i already reported them but i think it might be a good idea to get a couple reports in. it's @fatspostingls on twitter and its exactly as lovely as it sounds 😶

https://twitter.com/FatsPostingLs

At least one of their likes is someone tweeting Twitter decided it wasn't "harassment" so maybe we gotta add the heat on Twitter. Report the account, I figure the more, for a lack of a better term, flags, it gets the more likely a human will have to look at it.

If nothing else block them for your safety.

🚨HUMAN APPEAL 🚨🙏

Hello everyone , hope you are well .

We have run out of cooking gas a week ago, and the price of a gas cylinder is about 480 shekels (120 € ), also there’s no flour, it’s bag price is almost (150 €) , no salt - kilo of salt is almost (5€) - , no sugar - kilo of sugar is (9€) .

In addition there is my child’s needs:

-a pack of Pampers for 180 shekels (45€ ),

-3 cans of baby milk per month for 120 shekels (30€ ),

-warm clothes for the child about (100€ ),

-and a plastic cover for the tent to protect us from the rain costs about (200€ ),

I want to buy cleaning materials , such as :

-Bottle of shampoo 80 shekels ( 20€ ).

-2 Kilo of washing powder 140 shekels (36€ ).

-Bottle of dish- washing liquid 50 shekels ( 13€) .

****So i urgently need your help that I can go to the market and buy these very necessary supplies.

Thursday, November 2.

Crying.

You might be wondering what triggers our particular enthusiasm for sobbing today. Well, there we were, minding our collective business, browsing away as per, when we came across this absolutely devasting (good devastate) reblog thread.

Dear Reader, we are in pieces (good pieces.)

Queerness and the House of Usher (spoilers!)

See I just added these Thoughts to the tags in @quecksilvereyes 's post but now I have Feelings too

TFotHoU (or HoU, as I will refer to it here), as expected from a Mike Flannagan show, has a bunch of Queer Rep™ to talk about. HoU is, also, about remarkably evil people - amoral capitalists who'll step over anyone if it means they'll get something from it. And look! Some of them are queer! Kinky too!

That's bad queer representation... right?

The show isn't that clear when stablishing sexualities, but we see that at least three of the Usher kids - Napoleon, Camille and Victorine - have same sex SOs/assistants with curious job descriptions. Prospero's taste for orgies probably implies queerness too, but honestly I don't remember if he gets it going with any guys in the story. I honestly have no idea about Tamerlane's voyerism thingie and Frederick is the only one with a "traditional family" going on.

Unrelated, but: Leo is definitely cheating on his bf Julius. Completely dismissing about his worries for him too. And for his cat. That's objectively evil, clearly. Vic literally killed her fiancée Alessandra, though she didn't stuff her under the floorboard, which is an L when compared to Poe's original. Cam doesn't believe in true love. Perry blackmailed his sister in law. Mean. He's also got a surprisingly high kill count for the family's disappointment, but since unlike Roderick he only killed rich people, we stan. I don't belong in Kinky spaces so I haven't got a big take on Tammie, only that - well, she's completely dismissing of her husband and sees him as a prop, just like the sex worker she hires.

Huh.

See, the nature of a story called "the fall of X family" is that X family is going to be the main character. The title kinda implies that they're falling for a reason, ergo, they're despicable fucking people. And they're queer! They're very queer. Many flavors of gay. They're the main characters, and they're monsters, and they're gay.

No, that's not bad rep.

Queerness as a movement, a community and a theory is very focused on scaping a cisheteronormative society's binaries (ie man/woman, husband/wife, public/private) and creating living conditions to those who fall outside of these categories - mlms and wlws, the trans, the nbs, the aros and aces... we are all queer, strange and estranged from this weird and limited worldview. And so we create a community for ourselves. It's very focused on care and anti-stablishment. Since a cisheteronormative society tends to be very white, rich and western, it's also focuses on anti-racism, anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism. Y'all know that, this is Tumblr and we love leftist Discourse.

I also know many, many gay people irl who are not like that at all. Libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, terfs, completely apolitical people and the like. Sexuality at it's core is personal, not political, so there are gay people out there who are perfectly comfortable with their sexuality on an individual level but do not see the point of getting involved in the broader context. They're queer, but are they...?

Well—

Not to mention there's lots of asshole gays out there! Don't you have a shitty ex? Have you never been almost run over by a drunken butch who blew cigar smoke into your face? I have! Life experiences are just like that. Maybe you should touch more grass. You'll probably find a lucky gift from your neighbour's dog, who is an astrology-obsessed bisexual and also really hot but stopped making out with you at a party once she found out you're a pisces (the neighbour, not the dog).

(Granted, none of this is as bad as implanting an experimental heart contraption into the fiancée you just killed because she dared to have ethical principles and then being so consumed with grief you stab yourself in front you'd your dad but you know how it goes. We're not the 1%.)

My point is, queer people are people. We are complex. We fuck up, and sometimes there's still times to fix things and sometimes... there isn't. We're consumed by jealousy and regret and sometimes we're so locked into our own head we stop believing the rest of the world is real too. Just like any other people, because unfortunately, queerness isn't a sign of morality.

And even if queerness does mean community, kindness and acceptance, tell me... Where the hell would the Usher kids get those from? The people around them are not really peers – they're ass-istants, blowjob-giving apartments, orgy mates, heart surgery providers, hired fitness moneybags, perfect housewives. Even if the partners are all shown to care for the Ushers, there's still a distance, a power gap, that makes the relationships fundamentally wrong.

And the partners? Arguably they're the good queer rep in the show, but look – even when Julius and Alessandra are shown to be good people (or at least people with an ethical boundary), they're not the good gays, they're simply the good SO's to a family of psychos. Exactly like Bill and Morrie, who afawk are straight people.

Which leads us to HoU's parameter of morality - Auguste Dupin. He refuses to drink the Amontillado, symbol of all the Usher opulence over the years. He got screwed over by the Usher twins and by the Raven herself, but he refused to cave in (except for the informant part, admittedly). He's not a good gay guy; he is gay and he is a good man.

The fundamental difference between our show's main tragic yaoi couple isn't that Auggie is a happily out gay man (and therefore is good) while Roderick is a sad divorced hetero (and therefore is bad). Auggie is the richer man because he is a good man; he has a spouse and children and grandchildren he loves with all his heart. He has a family and a community and he has found a sort of happiness no money can buy. Roderick owns the world – but what does he really have? What do his children even have? How could they ever build communities for themselves if they were never in one? Their father made them compete for his love. He never nurtured their bonds, he just showered them with money and excess until it was too much for them to handle. Juno herself pointed out - they were never a family. The House of Usher was only that. A house. It is empty and soulless.

What is queerness without a community? How could the people who represent the relentless corporate normativity and cutthroat capitalism ever be good queer rep? How can they even be queer?

Hear me out: on the most individual, simple level, being queer is still about not fitting in. These kids are bastards. They are are PoC and women in a predominantly male and white dominated space. They're on top of the world, but they're still outsiders to their own House. How could they not be queer?

And yes, I know this discussion takes a different turn when it comes to representation in media, but it's not like Flannagan fell into a Hays Code-era flamboyant villain trope. Queerness is just there. Just like Victorine and August are both black people in (arguably) the opposite ends of the morality spectrum, there are queer characters of many kinds here. The story just happens to be about the fucked up ones.

HoU is a poignant critique of capitalism and a surprisingly funny adaptation of Poe. We'll judge it by that. It happens to be queer – more things should be.

[bloodybigwardrobe]

based on @quecksilvereyes ideas and words go look at everything they've written for narnia she's the og

why does the lamb snarl, god wonders distantly, why does it bend low as though to lunge? why does it rear to cover its trembling kin that cower at its back? how has it turned predator in its stain-free woollen coat?

lambs for the slaughter they are, these little unmarked things, stretched out on the ground-turned-altar of this battlefield. soft and afraid, nimble and eager where youth still clouds their minds. lambs for the slaughter, all of them, until this lamb grew desperate rage inside itself and found an appetite for bloodied flesh.

this lamb, hearing false godtongue speak of sickly-sweet devotion, grew teeth.

god said kill for me, die for me, bring yourself upon the enemy sword for me—clean your blade with something purer than your tears for me.

god says nothing at all now, hollowed out before the frenzied lamb.

feast on what you have slain little godling, sings the sky as its talons curve around boyish shoulders, sink your too-blunt teeth into his flesh, dig your shaking hands through to his bones. strip him bare and wear it all, pelt and blood, marrow melting on your tongue. consume and drape yourself with his remains.

kin find their brother with teeth and hands and mind inside the carnage of god’s corpse, a slain beast half-chewed and naked in the grass. they find him with the world bending its shape around new godhood, with skies bearing down to dig deep bloodied paths into a child’s back. kin find their brother, god successor, mouth smeared red and buckling legs.

god lies silent as the lambs pay witness to his death and let their brother devour him whole.

—as lucy feeds life to their witch-slaying brother, susan readies her bow to defend the brother who sits, wide eyes unseeing, choking down godmeat for their sake.

the bite of gentle girls.

written with lines given to me by @quecksilvereyes/@glasswaters! full text under the cut, with larissa's words in purple

[oh, my love, don’t you know I was born sugarspun?  it’s stuck to my fingertips, see,  to the roof of my mouth. every sharp word drowns in syrup— palatable, fit for company.

like in all things, I dull my edges to hold the world, or what little of it I can gather. the greed is a hunger, gnawing down the  marrow of each bone never the form it should be;

it was cast in shape before I took my first breath. a body, fit for consumption— just don’t look at my teeth.

when the nurse birthed me, she cut her hands on its sharp edges.  with her blood on my skin, I took my first breath. look, now, how the hollow in me hungers. love, love, I cried endlessly, the plea that will go unanswered in every tomorrow.

what voice sings even now? breathe, love, fill the empty space in your lungs. swaddled in breaking strands, I gave my first wail. this, too, echoes through my life.  cries are ignored until silence is my only comfort. carry me now soft and gentle as any other lie.

sugar, honey,  sweet nothings are still nothing no matter what you dress them in. I am ever hiding the sharp of my canines.

had I been anyone else, I could have shaken loose the sugar to reveal steel. but I am only ever myself, so I swallow it down— smile, love, don’t you think I’m sweet?]
