Atsushi Sakurai: Well, I guess I want to transcend gender. It's part of the job. The moment I get embarrassed about this kind of thing, I'm finished...But I think it's only recently that I've really become able to get pumped up about it like I do now. It's become more fun for me, too. I feel like I'm transforming into something else.
Interviewer: I suppose your image is similar to David Bowie's bisexuality. Or maybe it's a more Japanese image of femininity.
AS: Yeah. ...I think it's more Japanese style. Bowie's calculated androgyny was certainly surprising as a work of art, but when I act a role for myself, it's the refined femininity of ancient Japan, but with power. That's what I become. In fact, I have a number of friends and acquaintances like that. Men, but with women's souls, something like that. When I look at people like them, I think… “it suits them so naturally,” or “I quite like this.” They also seem very gentle to me…I suppose I have a bit of that element or quality myself. When I was a child, I felt more comfortable playing with girls. Even now I sometimes get told that I'm “feminine.”
Interviewer: If you went down that path, do you think you could love a man?
AS: Yes.

Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.
reblog this version because transmisogynists don’t know how to fuck off.
Us Tumblr users would be amazing parents.
Think about it.
Children with unique and powerful names like Moriarty, the Greed-ler, Jerma985, Loki, Vriska, Anon Hate, John Green, and Destiel marching into the next generation like ants.
We’d teach our kids to be strong. They’d never get bullied. Because if they got bullied, they’d just tell the bullies to go kill themselves.
We’d teach our kids to be kind. They would treat each other with the kindness of commenting on one’s fanfiction on Ao3.
We’d teach our kids to be resourceful and smart. Us Tumblr users are known for surviving show hiatuses. But we make through. We make through with gay fanart, analysis of every damn episode, and dedication. We survived the Sherlock finale in 2017. I think our kids could survive nuclear warfare.
We’d show our kids art. Not that Cocomelon bullshit, not throwing them in front of an iPad, not letting their soul be consumed by Blippi episodes. We’d show them art. Art such as:
- Ouran High School Host Club
- Divergent
- Homestuck
- Once-ler
- Quirkybrittany
And more. So much more.
We’d build the best families.
when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other… like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?😳
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION I DON’T KNOW WHO THIS “HARRY” PERSON IS GO WATCH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND CLARENCE CLEMONS KISS ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
op is the only valid person i’ve ever met. everyone else needs to come to the light
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didn’t *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their ‘Murica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. He’s over here asking when we’re going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who weren’t helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jackson’s record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went “Racist homophobes? Not in our house!” And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and
It was a story where… we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldn’t have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasn’t about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that he’s been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarence’s life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. “Bruce and I looked at each other and didn’t say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each other’s lives. He was what I’d been searching for.” In another version of the story, Clemons says “He looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.”
I’m having some emotions about it!
“He was elemental in my life,“ Springsteen adds, “and losing him was like losing the rain.”
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
God I’m not okay about it
Now I’m mad that this is not among any of the things I was ever told about this artist.
I knew about this in general (& via all those fabulous photos), but this just adds even more beautiful context <3
Just to add to the pile: this was the cover of Springsteen’s break-through album Born to Run, in 1975:
I mean, will you LOOK at this:
This was the pic chosen for the album cover from an extensive photoshoot, too. A few others:
There’s a lot more online if you search. They’re all pretty amazing. But the photographer is right, the one chosen for the album cover just pops.

“Amore Kidnapped”, 2015 by Daniele Accossato (1987–present). Italian sculptor. Repost from: @danieleaccossato
This angel was not kidnapped by anybody with any biological training. He’s gonna lose his hands and feet, and bruise the shit out of his face. You know what you got after the truck carrying this crate hits one too many potholes? A dead angel in a box. Jesus fucking christ, pack your angels properly. Don’t tie their extremities in such dangerous ways. At least simulate this in the pear wiggler first.
I mean, coffins exist. You’d need to make some accommodations for the wings but it’s still better than this. Come on.
No worries! This is actually a divine being and immortal! At worst it will lose a limb! <3
Sounds like an excuse for a lackadaisical packing technique to me.
Lackadaisical Packing Technique would make a great name for an all-transmasc band.
I’m gonna be honest, this looks like a sex thing to me
There is an entire industry based on selling people the tools to do this safely as a sex thing and massive worldwide communities based on teaching people how. Sex thing is even less of an excuse. At least if they’re actually kidnapping the angel the kidnapped can go “of course we didn’t want to buy our stuff from ExtraSafeBondageRestraints.com, they can track that purchase and might catch us!”, but if the angel wants to be in the fucking box then they don’t have that excuse. Treating a sub like this? Dick behaviour. These kidnappers should be blacklisted from the community. That dude’s gonna go back to heaven covered in unintentional bruises with hands that don’t work properly and make all Earthly kinksters look bad.
I know nothing about bondage but I bet I could find out six safer ways to do this in less than an hour.
Honestly, it looks like the wings have already been broken by their binding. Not to mention that being in that position would be hell on the ankles. I would say that at least there’s cushioning for the knees, but bubble wrap is shit for that. Also, that duck tape will either tear the skin or lose adhesion from moisture build-up. That’s what I can see from a quick glance
Every time I see this I’m like “how is he even putting weight on that foot?”. I think you’re right about the wings, meaning it’s probably not a sex thing, so these kidnappers have already severely damaged their target. If you break his wings now, what are you gonna use for threats and leverage to get your money? Honestly they’re lucky they still have a living angel to ransom at all. Idiots.
Kidnapping angels takes PREPARATION and SKILL and these yahoos don’t know what they’re doing.
I don’t think those wings are supposed to be broken, I think wings are difficult and artists don’t know how they work and slap some feathers on a vague curve and call it a day =P
The art is fantastic. This bondage is just, biologically, a terrible idea. Obviously angel wings aren’t gonna be like bird wings or the angel wouldn’t have arms, but these kidnappers need to come up with a better way to bind them. Personally I would’ve secured them to the angel’s back in some kind of slightly loose sleeve. If we look at how the curve is deformed by the ropes, those are definitely going to be severely damaged no matter their internal structure.
Then you break em YOURSELF not through SECONDARY RESTRICTION DAMAGE like a fucking COWARD
Duct tape this angel around the head and you’re going to suffocate him because he is definitely crying in there
… what in the name of fuck did I just read?
I honestly don’t know how to make my points any clearer.
Clarity is not the issue here. It’s just a … verbal flashbang, if you will
And now you’ll be forever aware of basic safety issues when securing your kidnapped angels. You’re welcome.
Criminality jokes aside we’re all sleeping on the fact that a 28 year old carved this. Ten years out of childhood and this guy was out Michaelangeloing this shit. Illegal level of skill.
