Remembering Kim Shattuck, lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter of the American punk rock band The Muffs, member of The Pandoras and short-term bassist for the Pixies, died far too early 5 years ago today at the age of 56

40 years ago, back when girls ruled: the late Paula Pierce, founder & fearless leader of garage punk rockers The Pandoras, performing at Irving Plaza, NYC, in October 1984.

That particular year was a weird one for the all-girl band since for a short period of time there were two versions of the Pandoras playing under the same name: a new band led by Pierce and another short-lived version featuring all the previous band members, who had released the band's debut EP the previous year but had departed by 1984, just as the "It's About Time" LP was being released. The brand new Pandoras hit the road for a tour that included a handful of dates with the Fuzztones, to promote the debute album.

Paula Pierce sadly passed away at the age of 31 in 1991 but she will always be remembered for her special songwriting talent, blurring the line between tribute and theft, and her presence, since she definitely owned the stage and dominated audiences with her charisma.

Nothing else but live action footage from that October 1984 gig at Irving Plaza, as soundtrack for this the post: "Want Need Love" & "I Want Him".

Do you know this queer character?

Castiel is Queer and Agender or Genderfluid, and uses varying pronouns based on presentation!

like honestly just give your non binary characters traditionally "gendered" features. just do it. it's not like being androgynous ever stopped non binary characters from being misgendered.

frisk undertale and kris deltarune were androgynous and are only ever referred to by "they/them" and ppl are still arguing over how the "main character is not the player but their own person" message didn't apply to their genders bc they refuse to wrap their head around different pronouns. raine owlhouse was paraded around as "disney's first ever nb representation" by everyone and their mother but bc they have short hair other countries dub them as male. this also happens to most anime nb characters bc of how japanese pronouns work. halara raincode literally has the color scheme of the non binary flag AND their in-game profile says that they, and i quote "have no specified gender" AND several characters remark on it in the actual game but bc theyre voiced by a female voice actor ppl still call them a woman.

like literally at this point just give your nb characters huge tits and a massive beard. if ppl refuse to accept the existence of non binary characters in media, then there is no way to make a character non binary "enough" to convince them otherwise. no matter how much you hammer in their androgyny in an attempt to detach them from "male" and "female," there will be people determined to assign gender roles to any trait you give your character.

creators being hesitant to give their non binary characters traits that could be associated with a binary gender is why every goddamn genderqueer character that the creator wants you to take seriously in popular media has shoulder length hair and a board-flat figure and a perfectly neutrally pitched voice. like. just do what you want at this point. the character is non binary because your story said so and people who misgender them would have done that no matter how androgynous they look.

why can't gay people flirt normally

like "ur cute," "no ur cute," isn't that hard

it doesn't have to be:

"finally the flesh reflects the madness within,"

"well, you'd know all about the madness within wouldn't you remus?"

I love this trend (on tik tok) lmao

I appreciate this interaction.

Even while kidnapped and thrown into the murder dungeon of a masked psychopath who wants to saw off his legs Atem still feels the need to tell him "Bro, you're going to ruin your Yu-Gi-Oh!™ cards doing that!"

*Dorcas introducing Marlene to the Skittles for the first time*

Dorcas: “This is Regulus. Yes, he does bite. Do not mention James or Sirius around him.”

Dorcas: “This is Evan-and-Barty. Do Not separate them unless you are prepared to face the consequences.”

Dorcas: “And this is Pandora. She can see the future sometimes and has predicted horrible deaths for all of us, but we don’t like to worry about that.”

Dorcas: “What do you think, babe?” :3

Marlene: “… I think I’ve just unknowingly started dating a cult member”
