Despite rushing it, this weeks Your Sky episode left me feeling relieved in some way, there was no sidestepping the external homophobia or its impact on Rak. He was not in his head, he was nervous and right to be and that fear thats been plaguing him is not one borne only of outsized fear.

This is going to sound incredibly jaded but im increasingly tired of modern QLs not committing to homophobia as a True obstacle for their protagonists. It is sooooo reocccurent: Only Boo, 23.5, even as far back as Dark Blue Kiss and countless other shows, the characters are scared and apprehensive about coming out just to be told theres no reason to. Its becoming increasingly grating to see tv that wants to include homophobia, whether to legitimize a rship in face of struggle or make their characters more relatable to an LGBT audience, but never has their characters deal with it as anything more than an internal battle because everyone around them is always ready to accept them.

Raks commitment to sticking by Fah even as his father disapproves is a big moment for his character growth and a display of how their relationship has not only made him happier but firmer in his wants and needs. The menacing air around his father at dinner, his mothers silence before her sad acceptance, the blow up with swearing and his fathers assertion of control, all complete with his fathers decision to put his adult son on house arrest and watch him like a hawk lest he steer off the right path. They cant even talk. Its also such an underdiscussed dynamic to be the one who has to introduce more pain to your partner, especially the homophobic kind. For all the queer discourse on dating someone whos closeted, theres a worry of having to 'force' someone to endure what you have to for the crime of loving you. I wish the show wouldve had more time to sit with these themes but in some ways I get it, its hard to rectify that melancholy with the light vibe its had going, similar to the LITBC movie.

Theres been a lot of discussion on sanitizing queer experiences for a larger audience, sparked by a great post from @lurkingshan, and to see a show so firmly bubbled up that it seemed removed from all real depictions of homophobia reaching for the chance to show something Real made me appreciate it much more. Its extremely telling that even in the homophobic 'I like you, not boys' era familial and communal homophobia was treated as a viable obstacle instead of a stepping stone to a happier future. The commodification of BL specifically has made these sort of expressions of overt homophobia rarer recently. Even when its discussed you cant really see it the same. A show like this, whos audience loves a bit of fanservice and light fluff, sticking to depicting such a lash out is an unequivocal good to me at this point considering how Thai BL really feels its hit a standstill in the things its allowed to be brazen about. It feels a bit fatalistic to say, especially for a show so nutrient light, but we really are entering a period of conservatism and the media landscape refusing to reckon with that is never a good sign.

Safya Lavellan arlathan AU thoughts…… I am having them

[pricegouge]

I’m thinking about stinky sweaty men again

specifically price using his underwear or socks as a gag 🙂‍↔️💕

-🫀

omg him doing this to gaz and at first gaz just thinks it's his own underwear which would be humiliating enough, but then he realizes he can tell by the taste alone that it's actually his captain's....

the parallels between the prologue and the sister of the south go crazy

guess who's managed to solve a historicity/continuity problem by (checks notes) inventing another relative for jamie who gets killed off

extremely ambitious art project i will most likely never get around to: series of ghost trick fanart for every character in the style of tarot cards, but using the titles from their in-game character profiles (major spoiler warning for that link, obvs)

the issues and my ensuing neuroses:

there are more ghost trick characters than major arcana cards (i could pare it down but i'd have to pair up some characters and leave out a couple others)

i love that the locations also have profiles in the game and i'd wanna include them too somehow

idk anything about tarot card meanings so i'm unsure if it's possible to assign a thematically appropriate card to every character, or if i should ignore the actual cards so i can just draw whatever and not worry about it having to be exactly 22 cards

either way that's so much art to draw

Neil Newbon taking inspiration for Astarion from both a feral cat and Reuben Kaye, can you fucking believe? His mind, his power.

Au where Shiro and Allura are immortals and trying to break into a museum to get their age old shit back and Lance is the security guard trying to shoo them away (no Shiro and Allura are not working together and in fact they didn't even know the other exist)

i must say non-canon aus are not always my jam but the vibes here are. immaculate. 👀

though i will concede to my bias and nudge this back into a semi-canon context and raise you: Allura wakes up from her sleep alone, decides to start trying to find the lions herself (maybe Coran wakes up too, maybe he's stuck in cryo, something something TBD). meanwhile Shiro was kidnapped by the Galra and made into a gladiator, just like in canon, but he is broken out by the rebels and/or the blade of marmora and recruited to also find voltron instead of being shipped immediately back to earth.

this all means the convergence happens a couple years down the line from the pilot in voltron, something something wibbly wobbly timey wimey. Lance has maybe advanced in his career at the Garrison, and instead of being a cadet is possibly a junior officer.

something something he's doing patrols/on guard duty one night, WHEN: shiro and allura, who have both separately been trying to find voltron, end up following leads back to Earth, converging on Blue at the same time. Lance is on a night shift and notices Something Fucking Weird in the sky, and being the over-eager and curious person we know he is, he decides to check it out himself.

something something they all end up in the cave, something something oh no they're hot. something something Blue chooses Lance. at some point Keith n Pidge n Hunk get involved, but the first bit is just Shiro + Allura rebel rivals, and Lance who is both actively Getting Up To Stuff but also all of this is kind of just happening to him, all at once. something something voltron, something something relationship development, something something and then they KISS.
