Here's uBlock Origin's official guide to bypassing youtube's anti-adblock popups, updated weekly. Please share widely. Don't reward google for their predatory anti-consumer bullshit
To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date
Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice
reblog to put john winchester into a glue trap and have his body be mauled by The Rats
can i just point out that alex and henry during election night were so like… established. like the way henry was in touch with alex’s emotions and feelings and the way alex needed a moment away from everything to be just with henry. it was like watching a married couple. the way their journey started quite literally from them disliking each other at the start of the movie to henry staring at alex and being his support during election night. ugh no one talk to me
dear neil,
i just finished good omens season 2. i have one question: why.
I'm happy to answer. Come back when you can make a whale, and we'll talk.
stephen fry was on set for a day, served cunt, said homosexual in the funniest way possible, and went on with his day
Explaining that queer people should have the right to come out on their own terms or not even come out at all and following it up with "The forced conformity of the closet cannot be answered with forced conformity in coming out of it" is so fucking powerful and meaningful to me and idc what anybody else says
getting to be with henry when the emails leaked, getting to hear “history huh? bet we could make some” out loud, how quick alex was to answer no when zahra asked if it would make a difference if she told him not to see henry again, the whole confrontation at kensington and how fucking broken they were, the little smiles always shot each others way, the stupid banter that they have, henry being the one to stand up for himself against the king, alex completely zoning out bc he was looking at henry at the state dinner, the way they’re both incorrigible little shits, i mean i truly could go on and on…
just finished watching red white & royal blue and wow.
was it a perfect adaptation? no. was it a perfect movie? no. but i absolutely fucking loved it.
i could honestly go on and on about how amazing the casual representation was, and how they had good communications between characters and conversations that only queer couples, but queer men specifically need to have. how their chemistry was amazing or nicely some of the scenes were adapted.
and yes, i could complain about a lot of things and will at some point but fuck, its about god damn time queer people had a fucking rom com for us. there are jokes that are for us and no one else.
i dont care if people think its cringey, because hey maybe it might be, but who fucking cares? i laughed. i cried. i had a great time, and thats all that matters.
happy “history, huh?” day to all that celebrate ❤️🤍💙
RWRB - thoughts
Already did this on the bird, so might as well retype it here:
Some thoughts on Red White and Royal Blue, and why I feel a little disappointed in some of the reactions I've seen because I need to caffeinate and also type this out into the void.
I want to preface this by saying that obviously we all consume and experience media in a vast myriad of unique and different ways, and my opinions aren't stated for the purpose of diminishing or belittling anyone else's. If you read this & disagree that's your right!
I went into RWRB expecting it to be NOTHING like the book (for ex I was aware major characters had been cut and some exposition revised). Also, the book is generally better than the adaptation - that's my mantra (w exception of Good Omens and Sandman; the Neil Gaiman effect is strong).
What I did NOT expect was how MONUMENTALLY touched I would be by such open, romantic, and intimate representation of a m/m love story on my screen. There are multiple scenes between Alex & Henry in RWRB that I have never seen so touchingly depicted before (and perhaps I'm missing other movies that do it! Drop them in the replies!) RWRB earns that R rating but it does so in such a gorgeous way - it show cases the love of these two men as a beautiful, NORMALIZED thing.
I know, you're saying - that's the bare minimum!
And it is. But, the state of our world, especially when it comes to the representation and the rights of our community - is such that I feel the need to take joy in even what is the bare minimum for people like us. (Speaking of people like us - the B in LGBTQ plus is not a silent letter!!) You can read about the importance both Casey and the director of RWRB placed on bi rep in this film in this piece.
A very important example is the sex scene in the movie, which is likely the most explicit m/m sex scene I've seen in a mass distributed highly promoted film since - ever? This is important because it's done ROMANTICALLY. And mind you - it's still leaps and bounds from explicit sex scenes in a het rom com film, which is why it's so important that we have this.
Normalizing intimate contact between couples other than those who are heterosexual is monumentally important. I for one would hate to see any negativity leveled at this film due to the (fair & justified!) disappointment folks may be having because it's different from the books take away from that very important aspect. (Also why aren't we talking about the trans rep?! Aneesh Sheth stole the show for me as Amy).
I think that's where my feelings of sadness ab some of the reactions are stemming from. I had similar thoughts when folks were upset over S&B not being identical to the books as well, but it feels even more vital for us to celebrate RWRB for everything it brings to the table and to our community instead of focusing on what its missing from the books.
I am very grateful to have a story like RWRB in existence, and I hope it leads to many more, because queer love is beautiful in all aspects, and it deserves to be seen and celebrated in ALL mediums.
