#queer as a clockwork orange

My first time drag kinging, yeah, I didn't have a chest binder yet. Please be kind it's my first time, and I'm excited to further hone my craft, edging towards a flamboyant and sparkly presentation of masculinity.

My performance is a mix of inspiration from Boy George, Librace and Alex Delarge from Clockwork Orange

advocating for good omen’s place as cult fiction in class today, wish me a very don’t punch straight men

[i-am-an-atomic-bomb]

he actually meant people with no fashion sense for whom camp is just a row of tents even if they try very hard

when harry said that thing about “people like me” did he mean, like, ex boyband members? should we add them to the queer community do you guys think. lgbtqiaebbm

[homosexualmorelikehomiesexual]

sorry but the way saltburn forces the audience to chose between thinking with your dick or with your head is. so fascinating to me

like it actively invites you to choose between desire and repulsion, and then begs the question of WHY you favor one over the other at every turn. why is the bathtub scene hot when its technically nonconsentual. but conversely why is it disgusting, why are we uncomfortable w the juxtaposition of the sexual with the unhygienic when its an obvious allegory for rimming, if not for hearkening back to a fear of aids and, given the vouyeristic context of the dynamic, locker room panic. why is the vampire scene hot when its nonconsentual and actively fetishistic of venetias vulnerable mental health. conversely why is the period blood somehow the most shocking thing about it. why is the behave scene hot when its nonconsentual and arguably smacks of raceplay. conversely why is it the only actual gay sex scene in the movie and yet despite loudly ignoring the lack of consent and undertone of raceplay, nobody talks about it outside of how attractive oliver is to them in this scene, if not for the fact that farleigh is nonwhite, and the type of people who are willing to overlook the racial power imbalance here arent really into people of color anyway. fascinating!

not to mention the way this audience reaction parallels so perfectly how the cattons operate - ignoring the ugly that repulses you in favor of the beauty that you desire to the point your denial of the full truth is absurd. desire for the style of riches (embodied by sexual desire for oliver, felix, venetia, and farleigh respectively) vs repulsion at the substance of how privilege is acquired (boner killing discomfort at considering the lack of consent and bigotry laden power imbalance in every scene)

like i stg the next person who says sex scenes cant possibly contribute to a narrative im smacking them upside the head and forcing to watch this movie clockwork orange style until it clicks. the queer erotic romance and the class commentary are one and the fucking same emerald fennell made it so blatant ppl just do not understand allegory

For the ask game, what are your favorite fiction books?

I appreciate the plural in the question, I think narrowing it down to just one would not have been possible

Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray always makes the list. Dark themes, queer, beautiful prose - but I think that one needs no introduction, especially on Tumblr.

I also really like Margaret Atwood - as for my favourite book of hers, it's probably a tie between Alias Grace and Blind Assassin (both are quasi-historical, with psychological themes and complex female characters).

And last but not least Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. I was obsessed with the book as a teenager, which, looking back, may be a bit worrying. But it's just so fascinating. It touches upon some really important philosophical questions (like morality and free will), it is partially written in a language/slang invented by the author himself, and it has the unreliable narrator trope which I can never get enough of.

Also bit of history nut but Blank space is inspired by parts of Stanley Kubricks a clockwork orange … basically a guy who committed terrible crimes was conditioned to feel pain every time he tried to do something bad or even think it .. as we can see Taylor is wearing the head gear like shock therapy , which could also link to the way women were treated in the Victorian era, pretty sure they were lobotomized more than men for things that were just caused from emotional stress or hysteria and not actual insanity.. which from my own views could be improper or Queer thoughts as well .

STOP comparing Orange Order hate marches to pride parades!

It’s insulting to the worldwide queer community and to the queer people of Ireland as a whole.

Those marches are the symbol of an unjust status quo, pride parades are an act of defiance against said status quo!

They are not remotely the same!

So STOP saying they are!

I don’t care if it’s a joke or “just a bit of “banter””.

It’s insulting!

Update: 1st of July and now they’re already at it once more.

Like FUCKING CLOCKWORK!!!!

Fucking hell!

Feel free to reblog if you agree.

It has somehow only just occurred to me that Jimmy, as a queer British man living prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality, would undoubtedly be using Polari in his day-to-day life. Perhaps not overly much in his plot-related dealings with Isabel, and certainly not so much as to distract a reader (I'm not writing A Clockwork Orange), but as the narration is in his perspective I really ought to put a few words in.

Especially where a certain fortuni constable is concerned.

[chaifootsteps]

Chai, what are some of your favourite stories. Books or movies, whichever you prefer. As a kid I read a lot and I noticed my preferred theme is Coming of Age.

Like my 5th grade class read Maniac Magee and I loved the book so much I stole it and took it home with me to finish, lol. The book focuses more on racism and growing up in a world divided and how kids are taught hate by adults. Maniac is an orphan kid so he never is taught the construct of racism. It also covered a lot of found family tropes and finding a place to belong.

My favourite romance coming of age novel is called Flipped where the book literally flips ever other chapter lol. The boy's pov is written one way and the girl's is written upside down to it. I actually really loved this book. Like, if I recall properly, the girl has a crush on the boy who is in his bootie phase or something. But as they get older he realizes how amazing and talented the girl is and, meanwhile, she doesn't really wait for him to grow up. By the time he comes around she's already interested in moving on. But I read it a very long time ago.

My absolute favourite has to be The Outsiders though. Fuck the author, Dally was the first character I read as queer coded. Like he really loves Johnny and the end of the story for them is so tragic. It's not in your face, probably because the author didn't intend for it, but they feel like a true queer teen pairing in the intolerant era of the 1950s and 60s America.

Hmm...I don't know that I have a favorite genre of fiction, although I used to ravenously consume entire textbooks full of short stories as a kid, then get in trouble for not following along with the class that was doing the finger-read-thing. It's how I discovered All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury.

I do lean towards fantasy as a whole. Got a love-hate relationship with Warrior Cats and Redwall, and a love-love relationship with Good Omens and the Silverwing trilogy. One of my favorite books of all time is The Dog Who Spoke With Gods, and I strongly recommend tissues for this one.

My favorite book when I was probably too young for it was A Clockwork Orange. Somewhere, there's a picture of middle school me dressed up as Alex for Halloween and posing with a glass of milk, stuffed codpiece and all.

[words-after-midnight]

not the Worst and Most Problematic Queer Representation™ i've ever written passing that shitty queer bechdel test with flying colors.

Yes, you heard that right: my horror novel about a bisexual Clockwork Orange-esque villain protagonist and convicted murderer trying to escape from prison UNAMBIGUOUSLY passes that faux-progressive queer bechdel test.
