JOMP BPC || February 21 || All The Feels:
I did a great big book unhaul a couple of months ago and even then I knew I wanted another pass after some time to think. My queer lit shelf was my focus today. None of these books spark the urge to reread them. Changing tastes and far easier access to queer books have given me a massive tbr to acquire that I frankly need to make room for. but... At one point or another these books were incredibly important to my baby queer self, and while it's time to let them go to someone else they can help I find it difficult. Nope, I'm not crying. Not at all... 😭

Prompt for people who feel like they need to keep the Amis political but also really, really want to just write them being queer and having parties:
I've just discovered that on top of everything else, applying for refugee status in France on homophobia grounds is very hard, because you have to prove you're queer, which is of course very difficult if you're single. So there are apparently refugee support groups who on top of helping with lodging and paperwork they also take queer asylum-seekers out to queer bars and activities in order to give them witnesses of them being queer.
Do with that what you will.

Sometimes I forget cishet people actually exist and aren’t just a punchline joke for memes and things.

Hello i have a question, it’s about thé the maze runner fandom, newt from the maze runner is stated as « he believe he is gay » ten years after the last book death cure. The author never stated this on the book but in tweeter so something not truth worthy. However in 2012. People who perceive him as queer coded already asked him this question. And he responded that he didn’t written him neither as gay or straight. And when people write fanfiction with a girl they said they are homophobic… what do you think ?
Ask 2: Ps : i really don’t want to offend the LBTQ+ community, that’s why I’m asking.
Okay so I'm not in the tmr fandom anymore but I'll answer this question cause I have a lot of thoughts on it and I think it's relevant to fandom overall.
(PS: I'm basing all this on the books cause I haven't seen the movies)
First, I'm going into my thoughts on this topic in general and then more specifically about this particular character and writer.
A person's take on this is gonna depend on both how they define canon and their views on how to best handle queer characters. I've long been a believer of death of the author and that anything outside of the main body of work (a.k.a the books, the movies having their own separate canon) is not officially canon, but anyone who likes it can include it in their personal interpretation if they want. So, under this logic, the tweet in question wouldn't count. HOWEVER, this does become more complicated when it concerns queer identity. Plenty of characters are written to be queer without that being explicitly stated in the story and if the writer says they were written like that I do think it's disrespectful to ignore it. In this case, though, Newt was never written with that intention and the tweet was just an afterthought. So, in this situation, not considering it canon is totally fair game to me (though if anyone thinks he's straight I just think they're plain wrong lol).
However, this is just my opinion and I know there are other queer people who disagree with me. Within any minority group there is going to be difference in opinions like this and as an ally your job is just to listen to several different people and then make your own decision.
So, now onto my deeper thoughts on Dashner's writing.
I wanna add as a disclaimer that I do not know this man so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt, but I have read all of these books (excluding the pointless prequels) and I do believe a person's writing reflects a lot on them as a person.
I think that James Dashner is a terrible writer and an extremely un-self-aware person who probably didn't remember that queer people even exists at all while writing his terrible Hunger Games cash-in and just accidentally made Newt super queer and got a super queer fandom from it that he was not at all prepared to handle. I believe that him confirming Newt to be gay was just a lame way to make the queer fans happy (cause making your only queer character the guy who dies tragically from a disease that villainizes disabled people is not the progressive move he thought it was) and he probably didn't even remember that bisexual people existed when he said that and thought that being gay was the only way for a man to be attracted to other men. When I heard of him saying this I just ignored it because I've always interpreted Newt as the most bisexual person in the world and I know better about being queer than Dashner does anyway.
So, all in all, I do not think it's homophobic to headcanon Newt as being attracted to women. Go crazy with your fanfics!

I am reluctantly attracted to elias bouchard. I am wholeheartedly attracted to every woman in the magnus archives that would not hesitate to kill me.
this is because elias is a bastard. a pathetic little bitch boy. mf needs manipulation and reverse blackmail to get shit done. I am fully aware that 99% of my (reluctant) attraction to him is because he has religion vibes and I have religion issues.
nikola, jane prentiss, jude perry now those are people who take charge. the "damn girl ur so sexy pls don't kill me" vibes. the "yeah you're eldritch but babe I'd be ur bitch" vibes. the "take me to church but actually it's just your creepy cult hideout" vibes.
one of these options is clearly superior.

Every year around this time my parents say "you don't have to come home for Christmas if you don't want to" and I've only just twigged (roughly 8? years in) that this might be a coded way of indirectly asking if I have a secret partner I haven't told them about who I'd rather spend it with 🙃

A good day..
I had the joy and privilege to attend a Traditional Wool Crafting Workshop with Quw'utsun' Elder May Sam.
Tumblr media
May is a Salish Knitter by birthright; as a child she supported the family's efforts to produce "Cowichan Knit" sweaters. May is over 70 and a survivor of the Duncan Indian Day School. She Still processes wool, spins and knits her family's traditional designs into hats and headbands, sweaters and pouches. She also teaches and offers workshops throughout island communities. She is an Esteemed Elder in Residence at UVic, and a lovely warm person. I first met her at the First People's House when I attended Uni.
Today we made pompoms! I'll have a few new ones to go with the one May taught me to make over 10 years ago. (It's worn down!)
for me personally though.. the BEST part of this experience:
this Indigenous great-grandmother looked at me (spinning on a drop-spindle) and she spoke to me, and about me, and described what I was doing to the group.. and NEVER ONCE mis-gendered me.
She clocked that I'm non-binary and never once used a gendered pronoun! Astonishing! this has never happened to me before. I feel so seen and respected. Gender Euphoria!

Love & Revolution
So a while ago I watched a new Spanish movie called "Te estoy amando locamente" (Love & Revolution, in English), and if you have a minute, I'd recommend you do too!
It's set in the late 70s in Spain, where a gay teenage boy discovers the drag scene while trying to become an artist and gets arrested in the process; and his mom's journey while his friends start a political campaign to get him released.
Reasons to go see it:
It's a queer story about queer history that's not set in the US. Instead, it tells the story of the fight against the Law on Social Danger (a law from the Spanish fascist dictatorship against "antisocial behaviour"... that of course included homosexuals) instead. It's cool to learn about other fights, right? Also, I've done my fair amount of research about it since, and it looks like it's very historically accurate.
Tumblr media
Being queer doesn't mean the main character has to lose his own cultural identity. To use a US example a friend gave me, the US version of the main storyline of this would be making a movie about a teenager in Nashville that gets introduced line dancing with his mom and then he stumbles on a drag queen who sings Dolly Parton and Shania Twain and decides that's the type of country he wants to make. Also, look at this cutie praticing in his living room.
Tumblr media
The cast of this movie is great. They all do a great job, they are emotional and funny and light. But also the casting is great, especially the queer characters. A butch that's actually a butch, and is also Roma? Three fifths of them being trans people IRL and either trans or ambiguous in the movie? A fat girl who is active and political and gets laid? Sign me the fuck up.
Tumblr media
This might be a perk just for me, but even though the main character is a teenager, there's no romance subplot and it's not a coming out story. Finally some variety!!!
youtube
In any case, it's a good movie. Go watch it. It has laughs, it has tears, it has music, and it has so much fucking found family.

So, I’ve only recently started to be comfortable with actively saying that I’m somewhere on the nonbinary/genderqueer spectrum, identifying mostly as autigender.
(I’m afab and identify as a woman kind of, but mostly just socially and politically, and if someone else calls me a woman I don’t feel comfortable or like it’s entirely accurate, otherwise feeling like I’m without a gender, sometimes at the same exact time. Idk it still confuses me and I can’t explain it very well and it shifts.)
Anyways. It’s kind of funny how this whole thing came about. Basically, I had downloaded TikTok not too long before COVID’s first quarantine, sometime in 2019 I’m pretty sure. Literally one of the first videos I ever watched was someone in the bathroom who in the mirror said:
“If you’re seeing this then that means you’re nonbinary…”
And I laughed a sort of startled laugh and quickly scrolled away because nope, scrolled down a few more videos, paused, scrolled back up, started watching the video again, then immediately scrolled away again because NOPE DON’T GOT TIME FOR THAT and then hurriedly scrolled away from all the other nonbinary videos that popped up for first month or so.
But that video unlocked something and I had been keeping it quiet slowly letting it percolate and then a couple years later (maybe 2022ish? 2021?) when I started finally letting myself think huh MAYBE, another friend came out as nonbinary and I hurriedly slammed that door shut again because I didn’t want to say anything and seem like I was jumping on the bandwagon.
And then I let it keep percolating. And then I learned about autigender shortly after discovering huh I think I’m also autistic and then that started percolating I kept thinking about that damned TikTok video and then recently these past couple months in 2024 I finally told my friends I think I’m also a funky little gender and I’ve been making my appearance look very queer anyways because that’s what I am even without gender tomfoolery and yeah people have noticed.
Recently I even had to tell my boss at work that I was not exactly cisgender because of personal reasons and so that was a little daunting. But yeah.
I discovered I was maybe not entirely cisgender because of a TikTok video and now my pronouns are she/her and they/them, though I don’t always like she/her and don’t call me a girl (except gender neutrally if you know what I mean).
So yeah. Tiktok made me nonbinary.
