Queer TV PSA!

Hello fellow Netflix watchers! Every week Netflix publishes their Top 10 charts for us to see what's doing well (and what isn't). And every week I check to see how the new queer shows are doing. This year has been a real mixed bag for us. Netflix has renewed several big hits like Heartstopper, Heartbreak High, & The Sandman, but buried others like First Kill and The Imperfects under bigger releases and no marketing campaign. It's frustrating and exhausting to say the least, and it might be happening again.

If you have been meaning to watch the Bastard Son and the Devil Himself but you haven't yet, you should do it now while your viewing matters (only the first 28 days are counted, yes it's stupid). It had a big increase for its second week and then dropped off the map for week three, not a good sign. If you already watched it, you should throw it on in the background a couple times, volume low but not muted (or it won't be counted), and make sure to stream the entire season. Netflix cares about two things: hours viewed and completion rates. Good hours but a low completion rate is still bad as it signals a lack of interest in future seasons. This is why the Sandman's renewal took so long, because people were watching it slowly. That's nobody’s fault, bingeing isn't for everyone, and some shows are better as a slow burn experience. Unfortunately it's how Netflix gathers its data.

So, what I recommend is re-streaming your faves after you finish them, several times if you can. If you're not ready to watch a show yet, or don't have interest in it, but still want to support queer media, you can stream it on a laptop or your phone while you're not using it (I stream on my laptop while I'm watching on my TV). It might not seem like much, but it's what we can do.

Here's the link to the charts as well as some visuals.

More than doubling hours, great!

Dropping by more than half off the global chart, yikes. Dropping off more than 2/3 of countries top 10 charts, yikes. You can't save a cancelled show, but you can stream it while it still counts! And while we're here, please go check out Dead End: Paranormal Park (trans, gay, bisexual and autism rep!), Warrior Nun and Young Royals, all just released new seasons. Let's grow their audience and give Netflix every reason to renew them again!

Fcuk this monster.

That's what True Blood was all about

why don't most vampires just find ppl who are into getting pinned down and bitten and drained. this shit is easyyyy

the thing about supernatural is that, if it were real, hunting as a subculture would have a lot in common with biker and cowboy culture. it already does, aesthetically and as a lifestyle. and that means that it would be full of gay men, or at least gay sex. if supernatural were accurate men would’ve been cruising day and night at Ellen’s roadhouse and Bobby/Rufus would’ve been real. unfortunately no one involved in this goddamn show except maybe late-stage Misha Collins understood that they were making a show about queer masculinity’s place within the American gothic. tragic. many such cases.

Fuck, marry, kill?

The best ships do all three.

the only good art you'll ever make is the art you'll make btw

Also posting this individually because I'm just proud of it.
