Zolu has tons of religious immagery for sure, but so does Sabosanuso!

You have somebody who quite literally earned to the title and rank of a God and saviour,

Somebody who survived an attack from one because mutated compared to nature due to someone who "played God" and tried to get a perfect human,

And lastly someone who hates God (at least the one in One Piece), fought her, won, and became them.

Save me religious imagery. Religious imagery. Religious imagery save me.

Literally it's SO good and perhaps it is not in the same way as Zolu (which is obviously way more tied to romance since it's god x devoted worshipper and that's a level of extreme homoeroticism) but I absolutely love it. I didn't even think about it before??? Like- I use a lot of religious topics for Sanji for obvious reasons but I think I haven't had the chance yet to try that with Sanuso, even less Sabosanuso (but I really do want to).

Something something Judge being a metaphor for God and Sanji feeling like God is punishing him for his sins so he always feels guilty for every little thing x Usopp who ends up having the title of God and loves Sanji nevertheless but feels like all of his God persona is based on lies x Sabo the hater number 1 of gods because nobody should have that much power.

And so you have the people pleaser with the religious trauma who looks for forgiveness in his boyfriend's love because he has the title of God, the one with the title who actually doesn't really want to have it because he is very aware of his own mortality and their boyfriend who fought God and is also a symbol of freedom and revolution against these things.

I can't stop thinking about Sanji going to Usopp for forgiveness and Usopp trying to help but he is no God. He doesn't know if he will be able to help Sanji with whatever guilt is overcoming him. But Usopp loves him despite not knowing how to, and it does free Sanji from his guilt. But Usopp still feels like he has done nothing at all? Actually? Just loving Sanji, which, for him, is the easiest thing in the world. And then Sabo sees this whole thing first-hand and he's like... He just tells them there is no God. Usopp is no God and all he has been doing is loving Sanji as who he is. Plain and simple. And Usopp doesn't need to lie to be a symbol or a savior or whatever because he already is, he doesn't need to be anything holy for that. And they both have a whole crisis while Sabo is just like :) "Well, isn't that nice, my loves? Now you don't have to worry about whether you sin or not. You can do whatever you like". They are. Going insane.

The only God these three believe in is Luffy and he is an exception because he is really silly goofy and we love him <3

the universe hates when gay people are happy

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

they're gay or whatever

LGBTQ+ folk what was your gender/sexuality pipeline?

[wis-art]

I'm sorry but I'm just so angry, we really do need to include black people in queer art there is no queer history without black people I'm tired of barely seeing any black coded characters on this site. Being queer is not a white thing but it feels like it's the default on this website.

Gay people be like "omg this song is so good" and then the song is Sburban Jungle

Fun fact! This was the real tipping point that made Edgeworth run away after AA1, they just couldn't show it on screen because they didn't have the rights to Chappell Roan's music <3

(A spiritual successor to my "Hot to Go" joke from this post. Image description under the cut below)

[Image ID: a four page black and white comic of characters from ace attorney.

The Judge stands solemnly at his podium holding a gavel "Mr. Miles Edgeworth, you are on trial for the murder of blah blah blah..."

A cheerful Maya Fey leans over to Miles Edgeworth, who is staring straight ahead and looking very concerned

Maya: "Psst! Mr. Edgeworth! If you win your trial, can I show you Chappell Roan?

Miles: "What the hell, sure." Internally he thinks "Oh God I am going to jail"

A box saying "later" in the top corner of the next panel marks the passage of time.

The Judge smiles as he says "I declare you... Not Guilty!"

We see a full body shot of Maya dancing excitedly while Miles looks on, emotionless

Maya: YIPPEE omg you're going to LOVE this

Miles internally thinks "oh no, the consequences of my actions.

We see Miles standing in between Phoenix Wright and Maya looking apprehensive. Maya beams in excitement, while Nick puts a reassuring hand on Miles' shoulder

Miles: Alright, so what is this exactly?

Nick: She's a pop musician Maya really likes

Maya: You promised you'd let me show you, and it's legally binding because you said it in a court room!

Miles: That is not how the law works Ms. Fey

Maya: Shh just listen!

We see a panel of Miles' pensive face concentrating as he listens to "Hot to Go". He thinks to himself "hm".

Another panel zoomed in more. His pensive expression has grown more tense/confused as he listens to "Red Wine Supernova". he again thinks to himself "Hm" in a larger thought bubble.

We zoom out again to see Nick, Miles, and Maya standing together again. Miles stares forward blankly, eyebrows raised. Maya excitedly leans in.

Maya: Ok, that's her whole discography. So! What did you think?

Nick looks at him, waiting for his response

We get a panel of Miles, looking bewildered. He starts to speak "I..."

We cut again to see the three of them standing together.

Miles: I... don't think I like women?

Miles looks shocked and confused. Nick is bent over laughing, using a hand on Miles's shoulder to support himself. Maya looks outraged and appalled!

Maya: MR. EDGEWORTH! Just because you don' like her musi it doesn't give you an excuse to be sexist!

We see a panel of Miles looking stressed and confused. He leans his head on one of his hands, which messes up his hair, showing how he isn't his normal put together self.

Miles: I should rephrase that. What I mean is, Ms. Roan is clearly VERY assured in her feelings towards women. I was... unaware that anyone felt that strongly. I thought we all viewed these things with a vague sense of distaste and unease but collectively ignored it. Like how we do with climate change.

We zoom out again to see the three of them. Miles stands in the middle looking deeply uncomfortable and lost in thought, vibrating with unease. Nick and Maya exchange deeply concerned glances across from him.

With lingering unease, Miles begins to walk away.

Miles: Well, I should be going then. Goodnight.

Nick hesitantly raises a finger to point out an inaccuracy in that statement

Nick: It's four in the afternoon-

he gets interrupted by Miles who repeats firmly: I said Goodnight

Nick looks in the direction Miles walked off in.

Nick: ...He'll be ok, right?

Maya reassures him: Of cours Nick! I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

Jump cut to a closeup of Nick's hand holding Miles' letter which reads Miles Edgeworth chooses death in all caps. Then, below in smaller font, it says Also femininomenon was really good, thanks.

We see a panel of Nick glaring wordlessly at Maya as he holds the letter in his hand. Maya leans against the wall and looks away, whistling, trying to look innocent to avoid blame.

As a bonus, we also have a page that takes place a year later. Miles and Nick stand talking. Miles looks calmer now, and Nick smiles encouragingly.

Miles: In my time in Europe, I've been examining myself and my approach to law. Ultimately, the most important focus must be justice. We owe it to ourselves and to the people we serve

Nick: Wow, that's really inspiring Edgeworth. And, uh, hows the... the other thing going?

We get a zoomed in panel of Miles glaring menacingly at a suddenly nervous Nick

Jumping out again, Miles turns his back to Nick as he continues to talk

Miles: So as I was saying, justice is truly so important...

Nick nervously rubs the back of his neck wearing an awkward expression as he sweats nervously. He thinks to himself internally "Ooookay then, clearly still working through some things there"

Watching ace attorney playthroughs again and this isn't even enough of a reach to be a joke this twitter post is just exactly what happened

how is Doctor Who landmark queer sci-fi?

I don't think the 2005 showrunner, first and foremost a very prevalent author of queer fiction, can or should be disentangled from the show, both literally and thematically, and I don't think it can really be understated how groundbreaking it was for pg rated sci fi (or really any sci fi) in the year 2005 to have a recurring character in a heroic bisexual man who the doctor openly flirts with and kisses in a dramatic context, much less that this character heads a major spin off aimed at a queer audience. among other things.

slight tangent but honestly I feel like queer discourse can be a bit dismissive of this sort of stuff, art that they don't find to be notably gay by 2025 standards, or which comes from a queer perspective but in which queerness isn't baked into the literal premise, works that are metaphorical; these often get dismissed as less good or less important or less gay somehow and I think that's a really limiting way of looking at queer art. Stuff like doctor who, in my opinion, should be looked at in much the same way we'd consider davies' other works, rather than only notable when the lead specifically is explicitly characterized as queer (as he is currently, 20 years down the line)

the fact that we never got to see pedro in his sulong form is such a crime against gay people

[batpersik-art]

how are we feeling fronnie nation

[bixels]

hey i dont know if you know this but your art is being used as hate speech on twitter, or at least i believe its your artstyle that i recognize. maybe youve seen it before but this is the first time i have and just wanted to let you know

Oh yeah, I've known about this. This was back when alt-right weirdos found a meme I did about white-washing. Unfortunately there's not much I can do about this, especially over a stupid as fuck edit of a 5 minute meme.
