Oscar Isaac in Talks to Star in ‘Moon Knight’ Series at Disney Plus

Oscar Isaac is in talks to star as the titular character in the Marvel series “Moon Knight” at Disney Plus, according to Variety.

“Moon Knight” tells the story of Marc Spector, an elite soldier and mercenary who decides to fight crime after he becomes the human avatar of Khonshu, the Egyptian god of the moon.

It was previously announced that Jeremy Slater will serve as the writer, executive producer, and showrunner on “Moon Knight.” As with all the Marvel-Disney Plus shows, it will be produced by Kevin Feige’s Marvel Studios.

So You Have a Queer* Fandom

An open letter to executive producers, writers, and cast in the age of Twitter, tumblr, AO3, Instagram, Youtube, whatever social media platforms come next, and global audiences. 

Congratulations! If you’re reading this its highly doubtful you’re in any way involved in mass media production but I’m fucking sick of shitty audience engagement by multi-billion dollar media companies and anyway this was better than working on my dissertation you’ve probably got a successful show! 

That’s fantastic! Your work is being viewed by millions of people! Pat yourself on the back! But wait! Oh dear. There’s a hiccup. Suddenly you notice tweets and messages and questions at SDCC about your characters - your beloved, money-making, copyrighted intellectual property - being…gay?? 

You didn’t intend this, your protagonist and antagonist and supporting characters and background characters are 100% heterosexual!!  What ever will you do?!

Fear not, my hypothetical content creator! I’m about to break down some key do’s and don’ts for when you find yourself suddenly in possession of a queer fandom. I will categorize my advice in three simple levels to help you best choose which type of engagement with your fandom is right for you, your show, and your network: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Please note: this is not an exhaustive post. I can’t literally write the book for you on how media producers can engage their diverse, 21st century audiences (well, lol I could but you’re not paying me so suck it) and fandoms - like any subculture - vary greatly in demographics, linguistic quirks, norms, and culture. That means there is no ‘one size fits all’ strategy for dealing with your most passionate fans. Theoretically, you have marketing people who earn a paycheck. Make them work for it by doing some actual research instead of just changing the fonts on the SDCC posters. 

Ready? No? Well too fucking bad because here we go. 

Actually, no, I’m sorry, hold up. We need to lay some groundwork first. Let’s call these our a priori assumptions about fandom in general but queer fandom in particular. 

Assumption 1: Your queer fandom is not going anywhere. You’re fucking stuck with us. You will not get rid of us. Better bigger assholes than you show runners, executive producers, marketing teams, writers’ rooms, and casts have tried. We’re still here. We still show up at all the conventions. We still produce fanfiction, art, videos, meta. We still spend ungodly amounts of money, time, and energy engaging with the media you have created. Even sometimes especially when we are angry at it. We are here to stay.

Of course you have something weird going on with your left eye. and pronouns

Where did the tag 'no beta we die like men' come from?

According to Know Your Meme, it all started with a bumper sticker:

“No airbag, we die like men” ended up on tumblr and then became meme-ified. A now-deleted tumblr account changed it to “No proofreading we die like men”

In fanfic, proofreading is often equated with having a beta reader who will check grammar and spelling for the author. The tag moved over to AO3 as “no beta we die like men”. 

Another version of it can be found on @ao3tagoftheday in combination with the “in this house” meme - “in this house we post sporadically like MEN”
