Horrible Torchwood valentines as revenge against @delightfuljay for "making" me watch this show (I fear is is a really good time actually)

Had a random thought for in your Dandy's World Toon Defender AU: if Fendy had a personal, non-work related tablet, they let Toodles play CookieRun. Just imagining Toodles getting Almond Cookie (a detective) in the Gacha and saying Rodger is in the game or something. I'll see myself out. *returns to the void*

LOL.

I have a feeling that the Defender would give Toodles things to help keep her occupied when Rodger and them are busy gathering research.

This could range from devices, toys, or even just treats like ice cream or pops. Of course, the Defender would also play with her from time to time or pay attention when she has something to show them. I also feel like her favorite thing to do in videogames would be to make sure that their games have "detective" vibes all throughout. In fact, I think her favorite game would be Hidden City or other Mystery games. Cookierun is just something she plays every once in a while when she gets bored.

chefs kiss tags from @lancrewizzard: #groans as i remember the pain of explaining to cis people that cheery littlebottom is textually transgender#sadly many people just struggle to understand what words mean. especially when there are several of them together to make a sentence#and when several sentences are combined to make a story then there's just no chance

Discussions of what "counts" as "canon" queer representation fall apart the second you start talking about media older than about five years or so. If your only metric for "canon queerness" is a character looking directly into the camera and explaining their identity in specific, modern, US-American-English terminology, you're not going to get a good picture of what queer media looks like. If your barometer for what counts as "canon" requires two characters of the same gender to kiss on-screen, you're not going to get a good picture of what queer media looks like.

Dr. Septimus Pretorius (portrayed by Ernest Thesiger in 1935's Bride of Frankenstein) was never going to look directly into the camera and explain his sexuality in 2024 terms, but he remains an icon in queer media history. You cannot look at that character (blatantly queer-coded in the manner of the time, played by a queer man in a film directed by another queer man) and tell me that he isn't a part of queer media history.

To be honest, even when discussing modern queer media, I would argue that the popular idea of what "counts" as "canon" is very narrow and flawed. I've seen multiple posts in the past few days that say the Nimona movie is "implied" trans representation, and I just...no, y'all, it's not "implied," it's an allegory. The entire damn movie is about transgender struggle, and the original comic is deeply tied into N.D. Stevenson's own queer journey. It isn't subtle. You cannot look at that movie and pretend that it isn't about trans struggle. It's blatant, and to say that Nimona "isn't canonically trans" is a take that misses the story's entire message, and the blatant queerphobia that almost kept the movie from happening. (I wrote a five thousand word essay about the topic.)

Queer themes, queer coding, queer exploration, and queer representation can all exist in a piece of media that doesn't seem to have "canon queer characters" on the surface. Most queer characters are never going to be able to explicitly state their specific identity labels, be it due to censorship or just due to the fact that scenes like that don't fit in some narratives. Some stories aren't conducive to a big "so what's your identity?" scene.

Explicit, undeniable, "this is my identity in no uncertain terms" scenes are very important and radical, and I'm not saying they shouldn't ever exist. I am saying that you can't consider those scenes the only way for queerness in a piece of media to be "canon."

if you told 13 year old me in 2016 (hamilton phase) that the doctor was kissing Jonathan Groff I might have died. I would have been so annoying about it.

[cosmica-galaxy]

As promised!! Gave up on the main drawing because I struggled to figure out how to get the outfit right 😭 I am hoping the doodles make up for it! I do apologize if it’s low quality, I am a traditional artist, but I hope you still like it! 😁
