I only like writing essays on topics I actually like. So of course I'm writing an essay about queerness in Ninjago that's probably not gonna be seen instead of writing an essay explaining my TMC project for English class that is a big part of my grade!

“Ask me, then, if I believe in the spirit of the things as they were used, and I’ll say yes. They’re all here. All the things which had uses. All the mountains which had names. And we’ll never be able to use them without feeling uncomfortable. And somehow the mountains will never sound right to us; we’ll give them new names, but the old names are there, somewhere in time, and the mountains were shaped and seen under those names. The names we’ll give to the canals and mountains and cities will fall like so much water on the back of a mallard. No matter how we touch Mars, we’ll never touch it. And then we’ll get mad at it, and you know what we’ll do? We’ll rip it up, rip the skin off, and change it to fit ourselves.” “We won’t ruin Mars,” said the captain. “It’s too big and too good.” “You think not? We Earth Men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things. The only reason we didn’t set up hot-dog stands in the midst of the Egyptian temple of Karnak is because it was out of the way and served no large commercial purpose. And Egypt is a small part of Earth. But here, this whole thing is ancient and different, and we have to set down somewhere and start fouling it up. We’ll call the canal the Rockefeller Canal and the mountain King George Mountain and the sea the Dupont sea, and there’ll be Roosevelt and Lincoln and Coolidge cities and it won’t ever be right, when there are the proper names for these places.”

Walter Gripp: I’m the last man on this abandoned planet, I can only surround myself with soulless creature comforts as to not lose my grip in reality, but how I long for human connection and comfort from another- a woman, in my wildest dreams….

Unless she’s, like, a total uggo or some fatty, am I right?

guys help why do the queer-coded tragic old men follow me wherever i turn. this will probably only appeal to an extremely niche group of people but i was reading the martian chronicles (ray bradbury) last night and cmon- in “June 2001:-and the Moon Be Still as Bright” you’re going to try and tell me that the captain and Spender WEREN’T gay??? no they were falling in love right before my eyes im taking no arguments. they could’ve had a little life on mars together im sobbing.

(not to mention the story literally takes place during pride month it’s basically cannon (im delusional))
