there is something about this gif here that makes me want to be on my knees and take whatever she does with me after I beg like a sl*t and call her mommy 😭
In my opinion the hardest thing to swallow about TLoU 2 is how it challenges protagonist-centred morality with Abby. Because the thing is, Abby really doesn’t do anything worse or better than what Ellie or Joel have done. Her motivation for killing Joel is literally identical to Ellie’s own motivation for seeking revenge. Yes the way she kills Joel is horrific but Ellie kills people just as brutally (esp. Nora), and the more people talk about how much they hate her and wanted to fuck her up at the end of the game just proves that you’re capable of understanding her impulse to enact extreme violence on someone out of revenge. The only thing that makes Abby “worse” to the player is that she kills the protagonist of the last game and traumatizes Ellie, both characters who we’ve come to know and care about from a meta perspective. She is a direct challenge to the ingrained assumption we have when interpreting a text that the only characters who actually matter, who are actually human and deserve our empathy, are the protagonist(s) and their allies. And yeah, that can be a hard thing to adjust to, but personally I love narratives that challenge my own assumptions about fiction and whose perspectives matter.
love or hate tlou ii but can we all collectively agree that ashley johnson and shannon woodward blew it out of the fucking water with their performances??? like holy fuck?????
"I could be really brash and really loud and really dressed however I wanted to and almost made [Chappell] on purpose a drag version of myself so I can be whatever I want. It allows me to feel really safe exploring those aspects of myself. I’d never be able to do that if I took myself super seriously with pop. I think that the project has allowed me to be a part of the queer community in a deeper way because I'm not observing from the outside anymore. I feel like I'm in it. I am the queer community–it's allowed me to just feel queer, feel like a queer person and feel freedom in that."
queer as in gay but also queer as in unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

U know that scene in midnight mass where Bev keane walks in on father Paul covered in blood and he’s curled in a ball looking ashamed and there’s blood everywhere and a dead man on the floor and she just sighs and goes “ok……ok.” and gets to work? That’s exactly how I feel when my cat throws up
I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up.

Last year, The HRC (Human Rights Campaign), reported that in 2019 alone, at least 26 trans and gender nonconforming people were killed in the United States alone. Disproportionately, Black trans people were the victims. Those I have illustrated here, do not even scratch the surface of what is, and should be recognised as, an epidemic. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we do whatever we can to support the black trans community.
