This is something I thought of suddenly: So when the Actors-on-Actors roster came out, I didn’t have that much of a problem with Taylor being paired up with Joey King. It was kinda odd to have two close friends who are now doing very different projects put together, but they were happy and watching Joey King fangirl over RWRB was fun.
But now that I think of it, it was such a missed opportunity not to put Taylor with Jonathan Bailey.Â
(Gonna preface this by saying I know far less about Mr Bailey than Tay, I skimmed through Fellow Travelers, Bridgerton S2 is on my to-watch list, and as a fan of Wicked the Musical I have complicated feelings about the movie adaptation)
The thing that is so often brought up with RWRB is that it’s a queer rom-com, it’s a queer love story with a happy ending. The relationship itself does not need to be sacrificed. In fact the whole Kensington confrontation is proving exactly that: they are in a position and point in time where they don’t have to give up on their love and relationship for the sake of other aspects of their lives, they can “find a way to love each other on our own terms, no one else’s”. Many people, including the core four of the movie (Matthew, Casey, Taylor, Nick) have said that this is something that made this movie stand out from other queer productions, something that the world needs.Â
Fellow Travellers is almost the exact opposite: it is exactly about the periodic queer struggles. It is about the lavender scare when any queer members of the US government were deemed national security risks, and were subsequently dismissed from their stations. It is about the AIDS epidemic that led to the devastation and discrimination of queer communities. It is about a closeted man who chooses to submit himself to a lavender marriage, but who also can’t let go of his one true love. If RWRB is the idealistic future that we’re trying to build, then fellow travellers depict the dirty, gritting, tragic reality of the past.Â
And here’s the thing, as Matthew said, both types of queer stories are important, both kinds of queer stories need to be told. We need to acknowledge the bad parts of the past, as a reflection of society, as a reminder of history and the progress made, but we also need to imagine the wonders of a better future, as a target for society, as a vision for the progress to make.Â
And it would have been so interesting to hear the conversation on this contrast between the main leads of two very different queer projects.Â
Additionally, another thing they can compare is queer intimacy on screen, because again, the intimacy of the two projects are vastly different: RWRB made a deliberate point in creating a more gentle, vulnerable, and quiet intimacy in the Paris scene, with the focus being on the characters’ face; Fellow Travellers’ intimacy is far more explicit and wild, much sexier if you will. Again, both have their place in media and the queer community: sex can be wild and fun, but sex can also be sacred and soft. It would be really interesting to hear the similarities and differences between the two experiences, especially since Taylor has done more explicit stuff in Minx (in a heterosexual on-screen couple) and Jonathan has done more vulnerable intimacy in Bridgerton (also in a heterosexual on-screen couple)
There are just so many parallels and points that the two could have talked about! So although I’m still fairly okay satisfied with the Taylor Actors on Actors we got, this is such a missed opportunity to talk about the importance of different types of stories in the queer community.

I’ve been seeing a lot of discussions/discourse on tumblr and twitter surrounding kamala/voting for kamala so I want to put my two cents in as someone who will have no actual influence towards the outcome of the election
(important parts with be in bold)
Let’s look at the hypothetical that trump wins because the vote was split or people simply just refused to and kamala didn’t gain enough votes to win.
In the scenario, I want every person who decided it would be better not to vote or vote for a random third party candidate who has no shot at winning who only comes up during election years to say all of the “not like the other guys” talking points to explain to not just me but every queer, trans, disabled, non white, AFAB person who is now at severe risk why you chose to not vote to help them have rights. I want to see your explanations if trump wins. you also cannot use Palestinians suffering to make yourself seem better than you actually are
My point is that if trump wins because your delusions lead you to believe that you can single handedly change the way elections work in this country by “sticking it to the dems” and trump wins and we become a facist state, I want to hear what you have to say when we all start loosing rights and palestine gets wiped off the map
“Well we won’t let that happen” Good fucking luck. In project 2025 im pretty sure there is a section about how we basically won’t be able to protest anything anymore, not only that im also pretty sure trump has talked about deporting pro palestine protesters specifically!
You cannot be a single issue voter in this election and in many elections to come. Change doesn’t happen overnight and you need to wake up and realize that kamala will be the start of actually getting more progressive candidates and policies even if it’s not enough right now at this very moment. We all have to actually start putting in the effort instead of sitting around on our asses complaining
If we get kamala in, we won’t have to worry about our country becoming a facist state therefore we can worry more about palestine and putting more pressure on the dems than there already is. That should be a no brainer to some of you
This post isn’t praising kamala or trying to idolize her in anyway, always be critical of politicians. This post is more of a message to the preformative leftists on tumblr and twitter who have zero knowledge on how the US government works.
It’s kamala or trump this november. We cannot change that less than 100 days away from election day
Should I repeat myself? I hope you can understand that.
I’m not trying to bash anyone for continuing to put pressure on kamala and the dems for being complicit in bombing children. That’s not who my post is about like I already said
I think that all the protests outside of the DNC are especially important because it shows we have not forgotten and will continue to put pressure on the dems to do the right thing for once
but like I already said, it’s kamala or trump. Third party candidates are either grifters who only are there to get money and trick gullible leftists or candidates who have never been in any lower level political positions who think they can automatically garner a shit ton of support to win when they can’t. Your other option is to not vote which is arguably worse
I’m not trying to be the one to change anyones mind but I hope this post can help you reconsider your options and start facing the reality of this election
You have an important choice to make this november. I hope you can make the right one
edit: im not trying to beg anyone to vote for kamala or make anyone who is against her because of her handling of Palestine vote for kamala, especially if you are Palestinian yourself. Im not trying to make anyone feel bad about it either. Thats not the point of this post. The point is that change needs to happen now and this election is a perfect start to do so. We cannot have good change under a second trump term. I know im just repeating myself at this point but I want to put this out there incase I come off wrong or offensive. Also, I dont like the dems at all. I dont align with their party but you shouldnt even care abt what party I align with most. Im not a pro activist whose been in the game for 10+ years, im just a trans boy who has essentially been forced to pay attention to the shit going on in the country because of who I am even though it shouldn't concern me nearly as much as it does.
second edit: check out this tiktok and this persons other tiktoks abt palestine and kamala
#Also i’m a queer neurodivergent minor I literally cannot do much outside of spreading awareness#please vote#go vote#kamala harris#tim walz#2024 elections#i’ll delete this if this becomes super controversial#Like can we please please just be organized for once and put on our thinking caps just this once#Also if you just want to argue with me or anyone else or you want to try to paint me as pro isreal im blocking you. Im not and never will b#and it personally offends me that you would assume so because im simply trying to be logical about the upcoming election. Even if it sucks#for me to do so since the dems continue to do so little for Palestine and it hurts my heart to see them suffering and I wish we could all#just vote third party but we cant until we get rid of the electoral collage and implement ranked choice voting#this also goes for centrist dems who just wanna hate on protesters and say nasty ass shit to them im blocking yall as well#I wasnt even going to get into this myself but im admittedly scared. Ik kamala has a good shot but I dont want a repeat of 2016#Turning reblogs off for a bit sorry im being paranoid

After seeing your most recent post about HCs, im curious on what exactly you ment by how pebbles "cant bring himself to look at Moon when shes struggling physically"
I was wondering what she deals with, as i dont believe ive seen you go into detail on that!
I probably should address this because I fear it sounds kinda offensive.
What I wanted to say here is that this whole time Pebbles' view of an iterator life is essentially a mechanical god. Sure they have biological parts but they do not... live like biological life. Iterators are supposed to be computers, AIs, a mostly mechanical being with powers that potrays them as untouchable gods.
Moon's collapse truly was a slap of reality to him because hey HE'S suffering from the rot but he is still standing. He is not a perfect machine but he is still... untouchable in a sense. Moon's collapse made him realize truly how mortal they are as perceived untouchable gods. HE is mortal, Moon is mortal, and he just KILLED her.
And him, with all his godly glory, can do nothing to fix it.
Now that Moon is completely seperated from her structure, he can't help but be constantly reminded of this looming awareness of mortality. How ALIVE she is now. How she is no longer the untouchable god Looks to the Moon. She is... Moon, she's alive and she's LIVING. How she now have struggles like living biological life. She sometimes forgets things, she sometimes trips when she walks, she sometimes squints when looking at something far...
She sometimes gets hurt. She sometimes lets out a whine of pain. She sometimes shed blood like fluid from her wounds.
And him, with the luxury of still having his can, still having his powers, still having the choice to live as an untouchable god.
Would she have that luxury too if he hadn't underestimated her mortality?

very minor thing I still definitely deserve a medal for:
being raised catholic, and now as an adult repeatedly falling in love with characters that fandoms like to declare catholic, but still managing to reject those headcanons because at heart I'm too much of a stickler for accurate analysis to get behind them when i know the person in question is really meant to be anglican/episcopalian/whatever other flavor of christian
i am being, as the poets say, so brave about it
#i dont wanna list examples bc this is just a lil vent post im not looking to make this pop up in any tags & insult anybody#bc tbh some of the worst offenders are absolutely top-tier favorite characters of mine with woefully small fandoms#& the LAST thing i wanna do is be rude about or discourage anyone who posts about/writes for/discusses them#just because i happen to have trouble getting on board with one part of their analysis.#but it does amaze me that this Keeps happening#talk about resisting temptation#& for the record when i say 'raised catholic' i do not just mean christmas and easter catholic okay#im talking 'college was the first time in my life religion wasnt a required subject' catholic#'virtually everybody i knew as a teen went to different single-sex high schools' catholic#horrible uniforms. strict nuns. classes interrupted for masses for even the minor holidays. joined choir for something to do-catholic#as an adult i still have friends & acquaintances who work in/for churches type-catholic#my mom actively tries to hide rosary beads & scapulars in my bags & car every time i come home catholic#(i dont even think most people know what scapulars ARE for christ's sake! & if they think they do they're probably picturing the wrong one#meanwhile i've got a routine list of hiding spots to check for them before driving away)#my point is.#if it made even a scrap of sense for any of these characters to actually be catholics trust me i'd be the FIRST one saying so#bc i know i could write the SHIT out of all the angsty repressed queer guilt religious trauma stuff everyone's drawn to it for#that's like the very least i could get out of having been up to my eyeballs in it for the first two decades of my life#but 99% of the time it just doesn't track w/ what we know about them at all im sorry.#im sorry your moodboard yearns for stained glass saints#im sorry your fic hinges upon a flashback to a certain sacrament#but im just not buying it

Ok! Now that I've switched themes, time for the final poll then I promise y'all won't have to see one for abit.
On mogai-luigi, I had an on blog series of links that included every flag I had made and was made over on neopronoun-flags-archive so you could find every flag I made with a little link navigation. I know I was using it (to check and see if I had made certain pronoun flags) but I dont know if y'all were using it cause if you weren't, I'm not gonna irritate y'all with a billion posts to do it. It was a ton of work and I don't wanna waste mine or y'all's time.
So here's the choices:
1. I will remake the series of links so all my terms and flags can be found without having to rely on Tumblr's shitty search function.
2.I will not remake the series of links so all my terms and flags can't be found immediately and you will have to scroll/search for them.
(maybe I'll consider making a different account to house an archive blog so everything is backed up on it in the future. I won't delete any of my blogs but I'm terrified of getting termed again for no reason lol)
It's gonna be a lot of posting if I do this however and it will push back the posting of new content as well as reposting of lost content.
(if you will not use the links yourself, please click no. I appreciate if you'd want it for others but I'm not gonna do all that posting and linking and typing if people aren't gonna actually use it and people weren't actually using the last one.)
#clover speaks#was i using it? yes but i can just make an offline copy of what ive already done and i wont have to worry about remaking#i made it mostly for yall but no one was using it#i can see the general analytics of my posts and only like 3 people ever really looked at my pronoun navigation#and pronoun flags are kinda my thing#im pretty impartial on this but please click no unless yall are actuslly gonna actively uae it#i wont be offended i just dont wanna waste more of anyone's time including my own

I Hated The Nimona Movie and You All Will Hate Me After You Read This :D
ok im going to be real with all of you here. i could barely get through the nimona movie. i found it dull, uninteresting, and infuriating (and this is just gonna be me rageposting about it so buckle up guys :D im not that passionate about it but i saw a post that got me in a Mood so)
HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY:
starting with the most subjective and trivial part, i hate the art. it makes me wanna froth at the mouth and die. the big eyes? HATE em. comic art better 100%
second and last petty thing ambrosius' hair . what did they do to you babygirl. like actually whose idea was it to take away his glorius luscious locks in favor of the Stereotypical Animated Movie f*g haircut like seriously>>>?????
but the biggest thing that im upset about is ballister and ambrosius' relationship. WHERE IS THE FUCKING BANTER? WHERE ARE THE SCENES WHERE THEY BEAT EACH OTHER UP? in the comic, they were interesting, they were dark, they were fucked up, and all of that was sacrificed so that they could be "canon" and kiss one time onscreen at the end!!! to be honest i would rather have an interesting and compelling gay relationship left to subtext than a flat, boring, and disinteresting gay relationship that is canon. my opinion but im right so.
AMBROSIUS IN GENERAL? he's just? not even a character? they turned him from a complex and interesting character full of flaws – i mean he was pompous, full of himself, elitist, you name it! he was dumb as rocks! and he was real! in the movie he's just a bland bowl of slop whose only purpose is to feel regret !!!! in the movie he's this everyman good guy, and in the comic – i mean. the whole thing with the comic is that ambrosius, despite caring deeply for ballister, is sort of the bad guy!!! he shot ballister's arm off NOT because he was "disarming a weapon" but because HE LOST A CONTEST. just because he's a Fucked Up interesting dude.
The setting also fucked me up – by setting the story directly after ballister becomes a villain, the movie takes away a lot of the key elements of ballister's character. they took away his deep-rooted anger with ambrosius, with the institution, they took away his villainous principles and competency, and they TOOK AWAY HIS GODDAMN LOVE OF SCIENCE FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK!! JUST TO MAKE HIM INTO THE EMBODIMENT OF THE PLEADING FACE EMOJI WITH ZERO AGENCY IN HIS OWN GODDAMN STORY!
that's just to name a few. the movie was fine, but it was bland, and even though ND worked very closely with the team, i felt it wasn't faithful in the right ways. but hey, two men kiss onscreen and they painfully spell out the trans allegory to the point of nausea, so it HAS to be good, right?
#not trying to offend anyone i just feel very passionately that the comic is better#if you enjoy the movie thats your thing! genuinely dont wanna rain on anyones parade#i just feel that if theres anywhere i can rant about like. this stuff. its here so.#nimona#nimona 2023#ballister blackheart#ambrosius goldenloin#ballister x ambrosius

Do you have a YouTube or any other accounts?
YouTube yeah, tho you won't find anything there. I privated all my old videos bc they were really and I mean really old animations. There were some FNAF SB stuff but they were weird.
Rn, if you checked my yt you'd find yt shorts of Pokemon related content but I haven't posted in like 3-4 months bc I got lazy lmao
Aside from that, the only social media I have at the moment is Tumblr.
(I WILL NOT TOUCH TIKTOK OR TWITTER AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME)
#I SWEAR I DONT MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE WITHTHAT LAST STATEMENT#i just really dont wanna fall into that hole#i used to have a twitter account once as well#i deleted it after realizing my classmates were all there and i did not need them seeing VERY GAY ART POSTS#joshblogs#askjosh#also twitter is dying lolz L
