Favorite book this month:

The Lucky List by Racheal Lippincott. a perfect read for the beginning of summer. Short lesbian rom-com—though i wish more of them (in general) would start with the couple getting together earlier on lol or like not having as much drama to becoming a couple. that’s my only fall back with this one in particular. the couple getting together 1) doesn’t happen till the end 2)there’s a lot of annoying drama for it—which makes sense i guess for the story but also please just be confident about it. just fucking go for it! (the confidence was eventually there i just wish is happened earlier lol)

anyway it was a super cute book i did really enjoy it despite the two fall backs lol.

saw someone mention a derry girls/yellowjackets au and listen michelle would suggest cannibalism the second the plane hit the ground. they wouldnt need to run out of food she would immediately be like “well sorry james looks like we’re gonna have to eat you.” erin would care more about missing a concert than being stranded. clare’s having a panic attack. they find out after only like a week that orla’s known a way out this whole time and told no one cause they never asked.

im gonna say it.

you cannot separate monsterfucking from queerness.

& for the love of fuck i don't need babygays coming at me with "you're equating being gay with being a monster!" go back to tiktok, this is for the adults.

monsterfucking is so queer bc so many of us feel unlovable, so many of us can't relate to real world affections & attractions. (aces & aros in particular)

so yeah, i wanna fuck that monster, bc deep down, i hope someone will love the monster i think i am.

also monsters are Very Hot & that needs no explanation so.

Monstrousness is also not necessarily indicative of internalized whatever, it can just be a desire to be powerful and able to make people too afraid of you to mess around with you. It's aspirational. Queer people are ANGRY and some of us want to RAGE. And we need people who want to fuck us.

sometimes I randomly think about the time a girl posted in this girls only Facebook group I’m in telling everyone how she broke up with her boyfriend and he lied saying that he lost the spare key she gave him, only to then break into her apartment when she wasn’t home and steal the cat they’d adopted while they were together, but then he denied having done this and she didn’t really have proof that he took the cat since he wouldn’t let her come into his place and look for it. And then another girl saw this post and knew her ex-boyfriend, and she was like “girl. I used to hook up with your mans back in xxxx and I still have his number. If you want, I’ll hit him up and get him to invite me back to his place and see if your cat’s there.” And the OP was like “bet.”

So this woman hit up homie dog, asked him out for drinks, went home with him, slept with him, and then woke up in the middle of the night and TOOK THE CAT. Like she had only said that she would confirm if the cat was there but then she took it upon herself to steal this woman’s cat back. Like she full on Trojan horsed this man and then hit up homegirl like “I got the goods. Where you wanna meet.” And then the two of them posted a photo of them together with the cat to the group.

And I just think women supporting women is so beautiful.

also by the way i am always obsessed with how spider-people just click and can work together without anything being said in spiderverse . mcu spiderman being like "omg ive never worked in a team” “how are we going to work together” “well im on a team so i’ll lead us" like that was the most boring way to do it . spiderverse instead saying "we just know how to work together because our histories and lives are so linked, its like knowing someone your whole life. seeing the self in the other. our lives rhyme.” LIKE I LOVE YOU GUYS

i'm not the praying sort, but i'll probably always have a soft spot for the astronaut's prayer

for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a possibly-spurious quote by alan shepard (and is thus sometimes referred to as the shepard's prayer) on the launchpad of Freedom 7, immediately before he became the first american in space. it goes like this:

"Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up."

spider-man 2002 is actually such a funny movie and not even in the “oh so cringey” way. peter waving to mj when she was actually waving to her friends? the ‘go web go’ scene??? peter dragging a cafeteria tray across the cafeteria??? peter finding out he had super powers and immediately jumping off a building and flinging himself into a wall???? peter absolutely demolishing his room and telling his aunt it’s a science project???? peters first costume? so fucking funny

visual evidence

Accurate depiction of what would happen if a teenager got superpowers

whenever I’m upset, I always think of this chaotically funny scene from the Birdcage and these little moments that make me cry laughing:

  • robin williams hitting his head against the fridge
  • dan futterman’s “sOuP?!
  • the rising fear in hank azaria’s voice with that accent
  • robin williams hissing at hank to shut up
  • dan’s little “yeah” as he just keeps nodding and starts chugging the bottle and robin just keeps blabbering
  • the very audible *pop* noise you hear as robin takes the bottle away from dan
  • hank’s crying and whining
  • robin telling hank to shut up again
  • the fucking *thud* and pot crashing to the floor as robin falls and says a little “oof!” (WHICH WASN’T SCRIPTED BTW HE ACTUALLY FUCKING FELL)
  • dan and hank’s looks of shock and pain as they try to hold back their laughter from robin falling
  • robin being like: “it’s okay, we’re alright, it’s fine” before going back into character and the LITTLE GAY SLAP HE DOES ON HANK’S KNEE AS HE’S GETTING BACK UP
  • the chaotic collection of just dan shaking his head looking like he’s about to cry and laugh and hank’s continued sobbing
  • ROBIN WILLIAMS’ FUCKING GIGGLE AT THE END OF THE OF FIRST “GO!”
  • hank just dropping the shrimp into the pot while he continues to sob
  • FUCK THE SHRIMP!”

guys this movie is such a barrel of laughs and so chaotic, please feel free to add on to this post, this scene and the entire movie always has me in pieces by the end of it
