I Really Didn't Have "dennis Catfishes Mac And Also Remotely Stimulates His Prostate" On My Bingo Card

I've said this before but I think one of the reasons scum villain occupies such a unique niche of queer representation is because it's one that interrogates society's expectations on gender and sexuality, but within a world where there's no strict ramifications for queerness. Instead the expectations and constraints on queerness are carried solely through Shen Yuan's internalized issues, which are so deeply set they motivate many of his decisions within the book, but aren't enforced by any direct outside forces in PIDW. It's a great critique on how the effects of internalization can persist even when someone isn't in an environment where they're being directly oppressed, and how it can take years and years to unpack and unlearn.

Book Armand: I’m only desired for my perceived boyish innocence which I very intentionally play up, but I despise everyone who falls for it. Such is my fate.

Posting Hannibal related memes until they save Hannibal, day 705.

learning that tim’s ambiguous feelings blossomed into love for bern of all people was, quite frankly, jarring bc it’s like learning superman wasn’t just lusting after lana lang in high school, but pete ross too. nothing wrong with timmers getting his mans, but the fact that bernbear beat all the “forgettable side-side-side character” allegations, copped a hot robin as a boyfriend, AND killed timkon nation in one fell sweep…. have to salute a motherfucker for his swag 🫡 here’s to hoping clark kent comes out as bi during superman’s 100th anniversary, and admits he WAS in fact deeply in love with pete as well as lana, so we can come full circle and get some closure for the true supes/pete ratchetry that was their silver age relationship.

the fact that walls get dusty is ridiculous. you're vertical. act like it.

Do you ever think about how a single misguided study on wolves in captivity has resulted in both the most widespread toxic pseudoscientific theory in the manosphere and what is arguably the weirdest genre of graphic kinky gay fanfiction and depending on who you are and what you've seen you'll hear the word Alpha and either think of the platonic ideal of a cis het man or one feral mediocre middle aged actor's dick knot impregnating another's slick-drenched hole. Isn't the internet a wondrous place.

What really bothers me about the way some people talk about Succession is the way they never allow for any grey area or complex characters.
