Oh Uh, *girlboyifies Your Favourite Male Character* Yeah, He's A Woman Now. But Don't Worry, She's Also

Prison is the most obvious choice. It's more direct about its queerness; it spits in everyone's faces that yeah, we exist. Its directness has the power to anger homophobes because it's so obvious and unequivocal that it's about queerness.

But I think we should vote Mama. There's the argument that the queerness in Mama is subtextual, or that it was named queer by the fans, which automatically makes it less queer than Prison.

But isn't that the point? We made Mama our own song. We claimed it because it made us feel seen, it comforted us, it gave us something to identify with. And community is so important. I love Prison just as much as the next person, but we made Mama our own. It's personal, intimate, individual.

Prison is a song whose queerness is explicit. Mama is a song whose queerness is subtextual. Both meanings are very important: the former conveying being out and proud, the latter conveying the very real queer experience of having to hide yourself for safety, and the desperation that comes with it.

Really, one could make a solid argument for both. But my vote goes to Mama for the song that spoke to and provided comfort for so many fans. It feels a lot more impactful, a lot more meaningfully queer for me.

Anyway leave it to me to vomit multiple paragraphs of MCR song analysis under a fucking tumblr poll, but perhaps that's what tumblr is all about.

geto’s lookbook

(the original ribcage/saturn devouring his son dress is by officialhambly, check out the making of here)

you’ll see terfs who more often than not are white (bc of how transphobia benefits white supremacy) say things like “well we aren’t the ones physically attacking trans women in real life! that’s only the men doing it!” (which isn’t even true to begin with) all the time and it’s like…they don’t realize that throughout history white women, as a tool of white supremacy, have always taken the ‘silent’ role of enforcing laws that hurt minorities and then crying out that it isn’t their fault bc they aren’t physically doing harm onto said groups, you’ll see these women push laws that hurt trans kids, laws that make the lives of trans people more dangerous, and start protest that serve no one but themselves in the name of “protecting women” bc they know that white feminity serves them very well when used as a quiet retaliation, you’ll see these women in schools, in juries, in groups, just in public, playing into that fact, white feminity is a violent tool, but a silent one, it isn’t as loud as public hate crimes, or yelling slurs at someone walking down the street, it’s the hushed side eye, the hidden ballot pushing for more extreme violence ontogroups that cannot retaliate, the crying and fainting when things dont go there way bc they know how society values cis white women, and they play into their role, radical white “feminism” is the result of a self imposed victimhood, terfs are quite literally the modern day daughters of the confederacy, maybe you didn’t physically go out and harm someone, but your values and your push for the eradication of marginalized groups is not as quiet as you think it is, history has shown us enough patterns to recognize the behavior

Boops gone wrong

Inspired by this lovely post lol

same fate

You must fix your heart

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

thought I'd repost her...

I had to

[ID: digital art of young Gojo and Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen. they ride a bike, facing left. Geto is on the seat, head turned slightly away from the viewer. Gojo stands behind him, one hand on Geto's shoulder and one hand reaching forwards. he grins widely. the background shows the ocean with a fence in front of it and a coral-colored sunset sky. /End ID.]
