Lady Lilith, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1866–1868

Will o the Wisp, 1888 by Lev Lerch

​hannibal nbc stimulates all the same parts of my brain as hozier’s lyrics

Literally once a week for the past few weeks I've thought to myself "hm. maybe I'm a lesbian?" but then some other stuff happens and I forget about it. I mean, it would explain some things (bone-deep joy at seeing lesbian couples getting married or dancing together, indescribable). It would explain some other things (a rush of attraction and desire for women). It would make sense, even, if we consider things. It would feel right in a strange and slightly scary way. It would also require me to re-evaluate my relationship with men. Do I just like attention? Do I crave connection? Or am I attracted to them? I never have to ask myself these things with women. And I think I'm just plain old bi, but it's so shocking how easy it is for me to be attracted to women, in comparison. I don't crave attention in the same way from men, but most of all, it's so much easier to be attracted to women. The desire to touch, the stomach-clenching, hot-skulled, shallow-breathing rush. But anyhow. Thought for another time (next week).

It will always be more than just a show…

I love that Rosie knows LGBT+ sexualities, but Alastor is too "old-skool" to probably care

I’ll stop goncharov posting soon but can I just say how fascinating it is to me that the genre we picked was cold war mafia movie? because if you had asked the internet a month ago what kind of film tumblr would invent, if tumblr were to invent a film, the answers would have been way more woke. a queer coming of age romance or a sexy heist with a super diverse cast or live action infinity train or whatever.

instead, the hive mind, the collective, latched on to something with much narrower boundaries, with stricter rules. no cold war mafia movie would have “good gay rep” or “a happy ending”, like you might expect tumblr to want. we want, we made, something rife with hidden truths, deception and manipulation, suppressed and sublimated emotions. it’s a movie rife with symbolism and suggestion, a text that needs to be unpicked and puzzled over, not one that spoonfeeds us a morally pure protagonist.

the website famous for our shithouse reading comprehension made this complex metatext about methods of interpreting an ambiguous artwork and that’s given me more hope for humanity than I’ve gotten from the internet in a long goddamn time
