And they found you on the bathroom floor
a stsg piece from last year
Gojo loved doing Suguru's hair and he pretended to hate it (he adored it)
in case you can't read my handwriting:
Gojo: Stay still, Suguru.
Geto: All I wanted was a ponytail, asshole.
Gojo: I'm gonna make you ✨beautiful✨
wait you understand that kinks are ok because they're fantasies that make you happy right? you all get that you don't need to have trauma for your kinks to be okay? right? like none of you think i witnessed a tragic accident on the pool toy assembly line right?
The fact that he doesnt draw geto’s face in any of them, but only his smile, which could mean he’s starting to forget Geto’s face, but not his smile, he focused more on Geto’s smile than his face. as if geto’s smile meant everything to Satoru.
Prison is the most obvious choice. It's more direct about its queerness; it spits in everyone's faces that yeah, we exist. Its directness has the power to anger homophobes because it's so obvious and unequivocal that it's about queerness.
But I think we should vote Mama. There's the argument that the queerness in Mama is subtextual, or that it was named queer by the fans, which automatically makes it less queer than Prison.
But isn't that the point? We made Mama our own song. We claimed it because it made us feel seen, it comforted us, it gave us something to identify with. And community is so important. I love Prison just as much as the next person, but we made Mama our own. It's personal, intimate, individual.
Prison is a song whose queerness is explicit. Mama is a song whose queerness is subtextual. Both meanings are very important: the former conveying being out and proud, the latter conveying the very real queer experience of having to hide yourself for safety, and the desperation that comes with it.
Really, one could make a solid argument for both. But my vote goes to Mama for the song that spoke to and provided comfort for so many fans. It feels a lot more impactful, a lot more meaningfully queer for me.
Anyway leave it to me to vomit multiple paragraphs of MCR song analysis under a fucking tumblr poll, but perhaps that's what tumblr is all about.
