Shoutout To Boringcore Queers. Shoutout To Queers Who Just Want To Wear Comfortable Clothes That Aren't

Shoutout to boringcore queers. Shoutout to queers who just want to wear comfortable clothes that aren't particularly interesting or attention grabbing. Shoutout to queers who don't think about clothes as this huge canvas of exploration and just want to wear shorts and a t-shirt. So much of queer culture, especially in spaces like tumblr, puts an emphasis on clothing as Evidence And Expression Of Queerness and it has got to be so alienating to be a person who just wants to wear regular clothes constantly getting that preference associated with "the boring cishets (who are losers)". Your queerness is not stored in your wardrobe and you're still cool and interesting even if you don't want your clothes to be.

It is an absolutely genius feature of Fiasco that just when you've played enough scenes for your character to claw their way out of the muck they start in, just when your character maybe gets a glimpse of something like resolution, the game has you generate a load more complications - one of which is usually "something precious is on fire"

With all the pieces in place for the final act, the cast finds out some new complications that are sure to upset the board.

I mean, yes, a lot of horror media boils down to “wouldn’t it be fucked up?”, but let’s not be reductive – there are several distinct subgenres of “wouldn’t it be fucked up?”, including but not limited to:

Proposing a very improbable situation, then gesturing toward it and asking “man, wouldn’t this be fucked up?”  

Wildly exaggerating an everyday state of affairs in order to demonstrate that it was, in fact, always fucked up.  

Taking a thing that it’s broadly agreed is fucked up and making it a different kind of fucked up.  

Inventing a new type of guy, then pointing at the guy and going “this guy is fucked up.”  

Grabbing the audience by the shoulders like, no, man, the fucked up thing is, like, a metaphor. For a different thing. That is also fucked up.  

Taking a genuinely innocuous situation and through some unlikely contrivance rendering it fucked up.  

Making a thing that self-referentially gestures at itself and asks “isn’t it fucked up that this is so fucked up?”  

Framing a fantastical scenario and asking “is this fucked up? why is it fucked up? what does it mean to be fucked up? what is ‘fucked’? what is ‘up’?”

"The Angels of Evangelion are truly some of the best creature designs of all time. It’s very important for me to create something very unique as well, but I went into it with this knowledge that there’s a minimalist spectacle that we haven’t seen photographically in film."
