first of all we gotta acknowledge the fact it was so so incredibly brave of my boy crowley to voice words like "us", "our" and "we". can you imagine a demon that had fallen even before time had begun pledges indirect royalty to you almost forever, after the worlds you both have known perishes and because you are aziraphale you freak out and reject him in an unsalvageable way ✨
hi there I used to (still do) lurke so often but I'm trying to fuck that habit up like I did with all of my wasted potential soo.. I really would love it anyone voicing their interests with me, for me, around me if that's the case. hit me uppp anytime old chap💃
I refuse to watch the documentary on the woman who slept with 100 men in a day because I cannot stand to watch a woman do that to herself willingly. I cannot stand to see her process what she has just done to herself.
She is a victim. A victim of a world that has told her this is empowering. A victim because how can she give consent if she is disassociating?
Anyone saying that she is entirely at fault is delusional and libfems absolutely have a hand in this because it is the whole "OF/porn is empowering!" rhetoric that got us here in the first place. YOU told her that this line of work was empowering. And don't get me started on the men because we will be here all day.
I dread to think what psychological damage this will do to her.
The clips I see fill me with some deep, gut wrenching feeling that I cannot describe and I know for my own health, I cannot watch this.
yesterday while reading smut I realized I love someone using the words "Let me" in ANY context. they want to take over making dinner since you had a rough day?they desire to touch you? they need to borrow a hoodie from your closet? yess ask me to allow you like I'm your god.that being said no woman should do this unless it's for another woman.

KURAK GÜNLER / BURNİNG DAYS
TD;lr: Turkish goverment is trying to mess up a movie with a queer storyline, its a great movie and you should watch it to support it.
9/10
Besides the stunning cinematography and excellent acting by all of the leads (especially Selahattin Paşalı), this movie is a setting stone for Turkish cinema for a political reason, too.
TURKISH GOVERMENT AND QUEER SUBTEXT
Without giving the plot away, I want to note that while I would not consider this movie as 'queer cinema' it has a storyline revolving around its two male leads, their chemistry is undeniable and one of the main drivers of the story.
The spoiler free version is that, there is a queer relationship and even while it does not have explicit scenes, it has been getting a lot of attention from right wing media from the moment it aired in festivals. After negative press about "homosexual propoganda" the ministry of culture decised to "get their funding back, with interest."
This is the most pathatic thing I've ever heard tbh. The movie's first draft apparently did not include a queer aspect to the two leads' relationship and the ministery approved to support it. (Its an art house film that was suppose to attend many festivals world wide and it is currently doing so.) Then they revised the script and sent it to do the ministery as well, 20 months ago. And now they want their money back because homophobes are mad.
I believe anyone who lives in a country with corruption (I guess most of the world, sadly) will relate heavily to this story and share the frustration of living in an unjust world.
A QUICK SUMMARY WITHOUT SPOILERS
Hopefully you are as pissed as I'm and would like to watch this movie to say 'fuck you' to bigots, you should be able to find it many cities in Turkey and Europe.
The movie revolves around a young prosecutor named Emre and it starts with him moving to a small town. The elections are close and the town has a plotically divided atmosphere and Emre finds himself in the middle of an open case that revolves around the town's water source.
The movie highlights the injustices of a currupt town and a goverment and the helpless feeling of trying to fight this injustices but struggle at every turn. Along side a rape case of a young girl, the town's main focus shifts to a rumor of the nature of two men. This highlights the irony- nobody cares about a Romani girl getting raped, but everybody talks about these men. Its frustrating, the movie set in a setting without water, everybody is thirsty, its hot and its suffocating. The setting creates a helpless feeling in Emre and the viewer.
It is an absolute thriller that had me at the edge of my seat. At Emre's every moment where he stood his ground, I was holding my breath.
QUEER "SUBTEXT"
If you read this far and want to now more and do not care about SPOILERS, go ahead.
The queer relationship revolves around the prosecutor Emre and the town's journalist Murat. Their relationship was definietly beyond subtext, eventhough it was open to intrepretation to how far they have gone with each other, it was clear they were drawn to each other one way or another.
The relationship is beyond subtext because for starters, Murat is introduced as an outcast of the town, a journalist with a sharp tongue and from the start people tell Emre of his 'unorthodox ways'. Murat's sexual oriantation is a talk of the town and its clear that he had been bullied and harrased for a long time. As they get close, both the nature of their relationship is questioned as well as their their stand against town's traditions.
The lack of clear water in town was portrayed stunningly. Especially for Emre's and Murat's relationship. Everytime they were around each other, it was near a lake or a shower and even then they were not able to relax due to external pressure of the events around them.
All in all, Selahhatin Paşalı's portrayel was amazing, his feelings were more subtle and open to intrepretation yet much more powerful in my opinion. I liked that even in very intimiate moment they were calling each other Mr. And called each other with the formal 'you' until the very end.
The main focus of the movie is not their love story yet their dynamic elevates the rest of the story and brings attention to very important topics. I hope it will get the attention it deserves, from outside of Turkey, too.
the way you wash the dishes, a relationship with a man, the attitude you show to strangers, which country to travel ... EVERYTHING IS ANALYZED UNDER A MICROSCOPE TO SEE IF IT IS FIT TO SOCIETY BY OTHERS AND TO SEE IF IT IS HOW YOU WANT TO REPRESENT WOMEN BY YOURSELF

favourite 2024 albums → THE GREAT IMPERSONATOR by Halsey
"I hope once you listen you will find that behind this theatrical facade is a record I made in a time of grave existential bewilderment. The album is sad, this is true. It's frenzied and calm all at once somehow. To have it in the world with the knowledge of all that I learned while I was making it, is a profound feeling."
There are plenty of people crying that 4B is transphobic, but none have made the very simple word switch to make it trans inclusive:
No sex with impregnators
No giving birth
No dating impregnators
No marriage with impregnators
There! Completely trans inclusive now
theyre besties. theyre coworkers. theyre divorced.
la tristesse durera toujours. being a fujoshi is payback for all of the sexualization our sisterhood faces daily
