Italian Trans guy, i'm weak for wlw content so, yeah, expect lots of it 👌🏽

LISTEN,

the very CONCEPT of bodyguards is so narratively juicy and excellent, and I don’t just mean like “character x is character y’s bodyguard so they can be in the same place and fall in love”, I mean the protectiveness, the tension of trying to balance personal and professional, the unified dichotomy of devoted guardian/loyal servant!  the power dynamic.

and even platonically speaking??  again: loyalty!!  personal/professional!!  the sheer delight of watching someone kick righteous ass in defense of their principal!!  honestly it’s even good when the two people in question hate each other.  it’s always good.  write more bodyguards into your stuff, I’ll read it.

The inherent eroticism of loyalty

g-witch is going to have the Best Main Antagonist in an Anime title locked down for years to come bc how do you beat the absolute genius of turning prospero into a hot milf so she can spend the entire show trolling everyone in an elaborate game of 5d chess and look good doing it

i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)

Yet poor Sean Bean is stuck with the reputation for dying in every movie. Unfair.

Give him time, he still has many years of dying yet to come.

Also there’s the question of density vs quantity. If you make a hundred movies and die in 50, and someone else makes 30 movies and dies in 30, the first one has died more, but the second one has died more often per movie.

It’s the DPM ratio that really counts, IMO.

Ok a couple ppl have asked, so I'm adding this info. The music video I reference in this comic is the one for Giovanni Wannabe by Pinguini Tattici Nucleari. :)

op delete this now

If I had to see this, then all of you have to as well

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!

So if you didn’t know that…now you do

do you know that i think of this post every time i can’t sleep op. what mythbusters did for you, you have done for a great many others.

okay i looked into this and apparently this isnt even just dracula the wolfman and frankenstein's monster like. they're DESCENDANTS of them who are normal guys who turn into a vampire a werewolf etc. they do this to "atone" for the actions of their ancestors.

this is them normally and they apparently transform by slapping their hands together and shouting WACKO and this is called the "drak whack." dracula is alive too. they call him Big D.

this really is an average gay friend group

I love The Golden Girls.

Ya’ll don’t have any idea how fucking brave and needed these plot lines were.

This was before Ellen came out.

This was before civil unions.

This was before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

This was when your ass could be fired, blacklisted, and shunned with no legal protections for even being hinted at being gay.

And the Golden Girls said “Fuck you, Fuck this, we’re doing it anyway.”

I think it should be noted that Blanche’s quote about AIDS is also “It is not god punishing people for their sins” and that the episode also deals with slutshaming.

I don’t know if people realize how much activism these women did for gay right and during the aids crisis. If you think about it they were all long established in Hollywood and Broadway. They had tons of friends personally affected and dealing with the aids crisis. Estelle Getty lost a nephew. I think they helped plant seeds in people who watched Golden Girls that helped make things a little more normalized and mainstream.
