It Drives Me Bonkers The Way People Don't Know How To Read Classic Books In Context Anymore. I Just Read

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...

Homophobic Marvel fans baffle me

Wolverine is canonically bisexual

Deadpool is canonically pansexual

YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME THEY WOULDNT FUCK

where the FUCK is the other half to my soukoku thank you very fucking much

pretty like a flower

never in my life have i met a transphobic or homophobic mcr fan

nor have i met a cis or straight one.

*finishing the obligatory pretty concept art for my friend whose a writer and I needed to redo her character sheets so I can go draw Deadpool and Wolverine being gay*

need the "fym nuh uh" to my "nuh uh"
