I don't think fanon marauders fans realise is that most of us (canon marauders fans) actually enjoy readings of a fem/androgynous/trans/gender-fuckery Sirius Black! I personally believe he is heavily queer-coded as a character and love seeing different interpretations and expressions of such in fics/fanart ~

We just don't like it when u characterise him as a tiny, dramatic whiny bitch. Save that for ur gilderoy lockhart moodboards babes xx

and yeah to all those ppl who say,, "just don't interact with that content!!!!" -- do u realise how many tags I've blocked and filtered out and i still see these oc-fied marauders everywhere?? even my non hp fans see some of that content -- it is impossible to avoid so thus i will complain.

if ur any type of content creater and. u depict sirius in the former pls just ignore me i am a hater but I love all artists. feel free to block me tho lol

the most grating rejoinder from people who claim to be allies to queer people, poc, jewish people, etc yet still consider themselves harry potter fans is "but it was my childhood!" because

you dont think it was my childhood too? "it meant to much to me growing up, it was my first real fandom, I related to the characters so much, etc etc" I did too!! Ive read through the series a half dozen times, the first time in the third grade! Ive seen every movie, I own the supplemental books, I had a pottermore account and dressed up as hermione! I memorized all the trivia and went to themed camps and activities and was so so excited to go to universal to see harry potter world.

but none of that matters anymore because I grew up and I realized that the work I loved hurt people. I learned that it's creater hates people like me and other groups I care about. I learned that her hatred was ingrained in the stories I had been consuming for so long, and I just hadnt realized it because I never thought or knew to look.

But I do know now. and the material effects on people now outweighs any nostalgia I may feel. I dont play new games or read new content or watch new movies because I do not want to. despite my history with the series, despite what it meant to me as a kid.

quite simply, read another book

Carnival of the Slaughtered

(a RTC X IOTS fanfiction) hello again! im SO SO SO SORRY for making people who liked the last post wait for so long :(( i kinda forgot about it haha TuT but anyways!! lets get on with this, shall we? WARNING: iots (island of the slaughtered) was origianlly made by the insanely talented @eavee-ry. this is in no way an attempt to copy their work, more so a way of getting inspired by it. if the creater wants me to take this down, i will. i have a very inconsistent post schedule, so i dont frequently post. enjoy!!)

POSSIBLE TW: mildly written gore.

VICTIM 2: NOEL GRUBER

RULE #2: be weary of the mirrors.

noel was always trying to blend in at school. being the only openly queer person in your town puts alot of pressure on you to be normal. sure, he was snarky and sarcastic, but he was a kid. they all were. he wanted to wear dresses and makeup, be someone he wasnt. dont you too? he had always wanted to disapear to a far off place, to be himself. atleast now his appereance mirrors what people always thought of him as. a monster. a clown. after being pushed off the top of the ferris wheel, and falling through the roof of a funhouse maze and into the ground, most of him was crushed and cut with mirror shards. the mirrors are his home now. with carnival "makeup" carved into his face, painted with his own blood, he crawls around, mirror to mirror, sometimes up into the carousel. hope you dont encounter him, or hell use his remains to drag you. drag you to the ferris wheel. to your demise.

if im looking at things right the creaters of the upcoming graphic novel series are a queer couple we are EATING

Yep they’re partners. Which is really nice, getting to work on comics together! What great career to have together.

One thing people are also forgetting when I’ve seen this discussed is that James L Barry has a husband, so ever since 2009 the warriors comics have been coming from lgbtq people, and even though the torch has now seemingly passed, that at least remains consistent.

I rewatched Eternals!!!

And I have some things to say!!!

Barry Keoghan is fine asf forever and always

There was potential for Sprite to be made into a nonbinary character yet it didn't happen. As a nonbinary person who named themselves Arson "Sprite" was definitely not a typical name for a female presenting person (or male I ain't judging) and the way they dressed them!!! It was so queer coded I was physically in pain Everytime someone referred to Sprite as a girl. In conclusion sprite in a They/Them Nonbinary and no I will not be arguing.

The love that Phastos has for his family!!!!! The man was a creater of advanced technology and has seen the consequences of advancements in technology (the most obvious being the bombing of Hiroshima). Druig even said that Phastos has given up on humanity that being the last straw. These people have been alive for millennials and yet even after all the wars and bloodshed Phastos found love and kindness. He has a family who he would do anything for to keep safe. Yes he already has a family with the eternals, but he found his own family his own peace of paradise.

The old couple vibes that I kept getting from Thena and Gilgamesh 🥺🥺

I know the timing of this is awkward because of the strike(s), but I beg everyone to watch Somebody Somewhere. It has queer happiness. It has trans happiness. Bodies of all shapes doing things bodies do. Characters of color with their own lives that don't revolve around the white protagonists. And the real topper is that it's set in Kansas and it actually feels like Kansas. They really did their homework here. I get homesick when I watch it because the creaters did such a good job of capturing the culture of a small Kansas university town. They nailed the details in ways that so many other media set in Kansas don't even bother to try for, and I just can't praise it enough. It's so easy to watch and brought me a lot of joy.

[rattyshipss]

You know that thing about lgbt characters either being nonexistant or their entire character revolves completely around them being queer and there's absolutely nothing else put into them by the creaters/especially for bisexual characters? I feel like my Agggtm character/life would be the complete opposite like Stanley would know and anybody else I wanted to know or just found out casually would know and it would just be a fact about me people knew but it wouldn't be the only fact about my character completely, it would just be a fact about my character. To the point that I'd always make gay comments and then when it someone found out I was actually bisexuality they'd just be like "Oh, ok :)" It wouldn't be some sort of cheating or trust issue plot point. It would just be a part of my character, one part of my character

queer books for pride month: day 27

My Volcano- John Elizabeth Stintzi

Genre: Sci-fi LGBTQ+ Rep.: ftm MC, genderqueer MC, sapphic MC, mlm relationship CW: death, suicidal thoughts, homophobia, transphobia, Pulse nightclub shooting, war, death

Plot: A volcano grows impossibly fast in the centre of New York; an eight-year-old boy is transported 500 years into the past to the fall of the Aztec empire; a Nigerian scholar studies folktales of a woman of fire; a white trans author struggles to write a sci-fi novel; a nurse in Greece struggles with trauma; a farmer in Mongolia is transformed into a green creater, and a young man discovers a clone of himself. In the midst of all of this, questions of identity and purpose are centred.

Why I'd recommend this book: This is the weirdest book I have ever read (in the best way possible). I have never experienced anything quite like it. Everything about it felt so raw and real, and some parts were painfully relatable, despite the absurdity of its setting.

At HoochieCon, Black women’s sexual power and agency take center stage

(I did not make this up. This is an article taken from the LA Times

BY MARTINE THOMPSONJUNE 23, 2023 9:53 AM PT

When taking in the images of Black women that adorn the gallery space at HoochieCon, it’s clear the creator and curator, Zorine Truly, 37, has a major soft spot for hoochie mamas — fly Black women who harness the power of their sexuality and creative expression as they see fit. Photos on the walls of the Glendale event space Junior High depict women with artful multilayered updos reaching for the heavens, big smiles sparkling with gold embellishments, vibrant acrylic nails as imaginative as they are long. Nostalgic portraits of friends turning up before the social media boom are spotlighted along with cherished TV and movie characters.

These women may not have an abundance of money, but they draw on their unique flair, swagger and innovation as a tool to show up authentically and claim space in a society that tells them they should shrink. Truly knows these women — often classified as hoochies — have always been more than a punchline in a movie or a mood-board fixture divorced from their humanity. Hoochies flip narrow, misogynoir-fueled ideas of what a good or respectable or fashionable woman can look like and look damn good while doing it. And as Truly explains to The Times, hoochies — in their many iterations over the decades — have long set the blueprint for popular trends and it’s high time they received their flowers.

“Simply put, hoochies are pioneers — for so many different genres of things,” says Truly, a North Memphis, Tenn., native and self-anointed Hoochie Historian who translates her research on hoochie culture into bite-sized videos. Interspersed with glimpses into her personal life and adventures around Los Angeles (like casually cutting up with Janelle Monaé at their Age of Pleasure party), Truly’s posts range from celebrations of prominent women and rituals in hoochie culture and their undeniable impact on fashion, beauty, art and pop culture to thoughtful deep dives that contextualize significant cultural moments, like Brandy and Monica’s ’90s smash hit “The Boy Is Mine.”

The pull to honor this rich legacy in a major way compelled Truly to launch HoochieCon, a group exhibit featuring mixed-media art and music honoring Black women pioneers at the center of hoochie culture. The exhibit, which was co-organized and hosted by the popular queer community space Junior High last weekend, kicked off with three days of activations. The exhibit’s opening day featured the type of moody bisexual lighting that promises a good time. Attendees from near and far came decked with joyful energy and their interpretation of comfortable hoochie attire, and a stripper pole that was added to the gallery for the special day was put to good use thanks to the trio of dancers (Phoenix, Ziyah, Brooklyn) who blessed the space with their skills.

The intention at the heart of HoochieCon resonated with a range of Angelenos on their own journey of discovering and embracing their authentic self and sexual agency, including Earyn McGee, 28. “I am the oldest daughter in a Black family and definitely felt like I had to perform a certain way of being and show up physically a certain way,” she says, noting the baby steps she’s been taking toward less filtered self-expression now that she’s grown. “Even with my outfit for today, I was a little bit nervous but I was just like, ‘I’m trying to be in theme. This was an idea that I had and I’m just gonna go with it.’ I’m trying to do all the things that would’ve made kid-me happy.”

The next two days had a little something for everyone: a panel discussion moderated by Truly, a dance party (more on that shortly) and an outdoor market featuring Black vendors. Chef Rochelle Tyler of Selah Bakery served up vegan cookies with flavors like Hollaback Girl (banana pudding) and Babycakes (strawberry shortcake), while Cake Chemistry offered its boozy miniature red velvet cakes with Hennessy-infused caramel sauce and cream cheese buttercream. There were beanie purses and clothing designs by Beautiful Soul Childz for the avant-garde fashionista who’s gonna serve a look if nothing else, handcrafted jewelry by Skiin & Tones and Studio Ebunoluwa, Hooch Juice travel tumblers by High Standards Cosmetics to help the hoochies hydrate in style, and more.

With music being so deeply intertwined with hoochie culture, Truly knew she had to have space devoted to everybody coming together, dressing up and having fun on the dance floor. The experience of dancing and moving her body to good music in the company of new and old friends makes her feel tapped into a particular feeling of power. “There’s something powerful about dancing despite everything that’s going on outside and despite what’s in the news or maybe what’s happening when you go back to your house,” Truly says. “There’s freedom in getting together in community and seeing Black faces celebrate, regardless of what circumstance they face every day. There’s power, there’s freedom and there’s happiness in it for me.”

DJ Space Age was on music duty for HoochieCon’s dance-floor celebration and did not disappoint. Bangers from the ’90s and early 2000s that stand the test of time boomed through the speakers, eventually teasing out the most committed of wall huggers to let loose and shake a little something.

For Danielle Daniels, 29, the visual nods to the ’90s throughout HoochieCon resonated instantly. “My style of dressing is ’90s style so I love the environment of HoochieCon. The bamboo earrings, the jackets, the clothes and the nails — it’s nice to come out and see a lot of girls with the same culture and idea of things and to be able to express ourselves together as Black women,” says Daniels, who considers Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle’s iconic BAPS characters major hoochie inspo for herself and her best friend. “I wanted to come and celebrate ourselves and the beauty that we bring to beauty culture and everything.”

As Truly takes in the fruits of her labor, and the community that has formed around her first HoochieCon, she’s mindful to acknowledge the importance of giving respect and reverence to women who have pioneered and “touched popular culture for so long” without reaping the benefits or even receiving credit. “Not only did they pioneer it, they also had to suffer for it,” Truly says. “They had to suffer to wear their hair the way they wanted to. They had to suffer to wear their nails the way they wanted to, and gold teeth, and to be sexually liberated. They had to suffer to shine.”

One day, years later, people will look at images of Truly’s HoochieCon celebration. “What do you hope they take away?” I ask the Hoochie Historian.

“I hope they take away from HoochieCon the importance of being yourself, no matter what people might judge you by,” says Truly, releasing a deep exhale, eyes watering as she processes the idea of HoochieCon reaching people generations into the future. “It’s important to be happy with how you look, how you feel, how you dress, and the choices that you make, and that is the most important thing. I want people, especially Black women, to take away that they can be fully themselves no matter what that looks like and still be worthy of all the good things.”

rlly hate this current tiktok and instagram trend of ppl dueting strangers videos (usually a popular account dueting a smaller account) just to publically ridicule them for things that r just. kinda cringe? there’s no real problem with what these small accounts r doing, it’s just the popular accounts want to make themselves feel good by being bullies. (and that’s not even getting into the fact that the smaller creaters are usually young, queer, disabled, etc).

If you want to watch a gay show about Jews it was a solid one. Creater of the show is trans nb queer(who came out as nb at the end of the series) & the parent on the show is based it on their trans mother played by a cis dude(rest of the trans people are trans playes). The show creator's sister is a jewish lesbian folk sister & workers on the show too.
