I'm Literally Dying Inside

Do you think Regulus cried out “Sirius” instead of “Mum” when he got injured as a child?

follow-up question: Do you think he did it again out of reflex as he was dying?

Less social media and more movie/book consumption I want to feel full of inspiration

James: Sorry it took me so long to bail you out of jail

Sirius: No, it’s okay. I shouldn’t have used my one free phone call to play a prank on Snape

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS LITTLE DETAIL DURING THE SESBIAN LEX SCENE?!

THAT VI GOES ON HER TIP TOES?!?!

JUST SO SHE CAN NUZZLE HER FACE INTO CAIT'S SHOULDER?!?!?

Regulus: Until I fell in love with you, I thought my attraction to men was purely physical.

James: So you were gay... and then you realized that you were Even More Gay.

Regulus:

Regulus: Yes.

No, because what do you mean Arcane has completely rewritten the rulebook on queer representation in media, and it did it so effortlessly that it puts so many other shows to shame. Like, how are you going to tell me this animated series—ostensibly a spin-off of a video game—has given us some of the most nuanced, unapologetically powerful sapphic characters ever without reducing them to stereotypes, side plots, or, worse, trauma porn?

Vi and Caitlyn? Their dynamic is ELECTRIC. You’ve got Vi, the rough-edged, fiercely loyal, scrappy brawler with a tender side that could wreck anyone emotionally, and Caitlyn, the sharp, principled, deeply empathetic enforcer with a heart of gold. The way their relationship is built on mutual respect and trust while navigating all the insane, tragic chaos around them? Literal chef's kiss. And not once do we get the tired, lazy "coming out" narrative or the "but what about the gays?" rhetoric. Their queerness isn’t the story—it’s just a beautifully natural part of who they are. And THAT is revolutionary.

And let’s not even stop there. This show handles gender like it’s been waiting for everyone else to catch up. Characters like Sevika, who could give you chills with her sheer badassery and gender-nonconforming energy, exist unapologetically without the narrative ever feeling the need to spoon-feed us explanations. It’s just there, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the world.

So many shows claim to want to "normalize" queer relationships or push the envelope, but Arcane has quietly dominated the space by just writing characters who feel authentic. Their struggles are about class, power, loyalty, trauma, not token representation or forced diversity. This show said, “We’re just going to make some of the most layered, compelling characters you’ve ever seen—and oh yeah, some of them are gay. Keep up.”

Like, the bar wasn’t just raised—it was launched into the stratosphere. What do you mean this level of representation isn’t the norm yet? Arcane said, “We’re not asking for permission to exist. We’re just existing.” And that? That is art.

Me, starting a book, being fully aware that it will destroy me mentally and emotionally: Now the fun begins!!!
