Writing dionysus as this guy with bleached hair who owns one pair of socks, emotionally unloads at a food truck guy after a night of clubbing, and gets immediately parasocial with a rock star after hearing 1 song is god-tier characterization

it's just been so long since we've had original ip that's funny and cool and fantasy and also emotionally devastating and like queerness is everywhere and normal and everyone's messed up and wonderful and trying their best and doing their worst and !!! oh the greek tragedy of it ALL

reason's to watch kaos:

queers everywhere

the furies are butches that ride motorcycles

the fates are genderqueering it up in a sexy little dive bar in the desert

eurydice and orpheus tale but eurydice is sick of orpheus and about to break up with him before she's sent to the underworld. except she can't pass over because orpheus also took her gold coin to keep her in place so he can rescue her. cue eurydice growing more bitter about him.

trans amazonian stories

dionysus is there getting rawed by cute boys in bars

prometheus and charon are boy toys together

billie piper as cassandra

zeus and poseidon torture human beings for fun. it's a pass time of theirs.

hades is a sleepy old man who can barely keep his head up and pesephone is a hot babe secretly in charge of the underworld. she's hades backbone.

zeus has a house full of pretty boys in tiny shorts that he kills for sport and they never complain :)

poseidon's huge bulge on display at all times

hera is as much a prisoner to zeus as zeus is a prisoner to her and they keep esch other like prison wardens

he is everything to me

kaos has done a fucking phenomenal job of incorporating a trans character and their transness into a broader narrative frame. it is shocking in its grace. i am floored.

Finished all 8 episodes of Kaos and holy shit idk why the internet isn’t going feral for this shit. Very queer, extremely inclusive cast, amazing writing/storytelling, engaging and incredible performance from the cast like…….

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

This will never not be funny to me.

they slash them?????

one thing im noticing abt ‘i saw the tv glow’ at the very beginning is how beautiful it is that maddy loves tara so much. that she says tara is super hot and badass and how she cries when tara beats the shit out of the monster of the week. how she loves this version of herself so much and she does not yet understand that it is her.

What about you? Do you like girls? Boys? I... I think that I like TV shows.

finally watched i saw the tv glow and. ouch. oof. ouch! "you wont even remember that you're dying". the brief lapses into realisation and then back into denial. the way time is handled. "there is still time"... this is the first time ive been presented with the deep, soul crushing horror of what if you DON'T transition??? what if you stay like this, forever? aren't you dying, all the time, stuck this way? are you already dead? absolutely sick of being fed the "horrors" of transition by cis people, transition is scary sure, but the scariest thing imaginable to me is thinking about a reality where i am still trapped in a coffin and slowly suffocating. that felt like a unique kind of stomach turning cautionary tale and i hope whoever needs to see it can dig themselves out soon

Movies that grip you by the neck and say if you're burying it anyway bury it to kill who you never were and walk away a new person

I love you, be free

can't stop thinking about this movie tbh..

what if you got so close to having everything you ever wanted and you could have taken it and run but doing so would have meant losing your mom so you don't. you don't, and you lose the only person that might have ever understood you, and then you lose your mom anyway. but then the opportunity comes again, and your person comes back, and you don't have anything to lose this time, but the idea of having everything you ever craved in life is so ridiculous and insane that you push her away again and you say no and you lose it. ten years, twenty years pass and you know time is running out and youre suffocating. and you finally rip open your chest and you can see it all so clearly now. everything you ever wanted. everything you ever needed, everything you knew was true but never wanted to accept. and it's not too late, you still have time, and you saw it so clearly. but you can't. and you're sorry. you're sorry. everything is back to normal now. you're back to suffocating. you're sorry for inconveniencing anyone. you're sorry.

there is still time. there is still time. until your bones are in the fucking ground there is still time.
