ok, i have to say this before i say anything else about the rwrb movie:
when the book came out, it was groundbreaking. it was one of the first true queer rom coms. this movie is now even more groundbreaking.
yes, some depth and detail was lost from the book, but that’s bound to happen in any adaptation. but before we complain about that, let’s ask ourselves:
exactly how many fluffy, fairy tale, sexy, funny, sugary, queer romance movies are there? you could probably count them all on one hand, and most of them probably aren’t major studio releases.
queer people deserve silly romcom movies too. queer people deserve to see themselves in tender, uncensored intimate moments on screen too. and, correct me if i’m wrong, but i’m pretty sure this is the first time a major motion picture has explicitly mentioned truvada/PrEP and included a conversation between a parent and child about safe queer sex. like…queer people don’t get shit like this, and now we do. and that’s a big deal.
im gonna need you all to remember who the fuck daniel ricciardo is
My boyfriend is trying to explain cricket to me again. “He’s only got two balls to make 48 runs”, he says. The camera focuses on a man. Underneath him it says LEFT ARM FAST MEDIUM. A ball flies into the stands and presumably fractures someone’s skull. “There’s a free six”, my boyfriend says. 348 SIXES says the screen. A child in the audience waves a sign referencing Weet-Bix
Jason with a glowing green gun: You've been running around with quite a lot of Timmer's money
Conner: Let me stop you right there. Your brother is the absolute maddest lad there has ever been. I'm convinced he's actually the child of Dionysus. If I LOOK at anything too long, it winds up in my closet. We've made a game out of it. No matter what security I install or how much I'm watching, he'll find a way. I asked for the White House as a joke, and he gave me 7 plans to raid the place the next day. Sweetheart is secretly a criminal mastermind
Jason: Um. Do you... need help?
Conner: No. I've always wanted to be a sugar baby. And besides, I think it's adorable when he gets all schem-ish
Niall literally worships the ground louis walks on. Confirmed.
Like, literally. This child is sick and it’s freezing and Louis changed into a tank top of his own choice and complains of being cold and even though Niall is sick, he hands his jacket right on over.
But, look. Niall likes making sure Louis is taken care of. Here’s him bribing Louis with food to come over to his house.
But, I mean, I don’t blame him for wanting Louis around all the time because Niall honest to God thinks Louis is the funniest goddamned person on the entire planet. Like, I swear, Louis could say “fart,” and after Niall recovers from laughing for at least 15 minutes, he’d start raving that Louis needs to become a stand up comic. I mean, look at how hard Louis makes Niall laugh with like little to no effort.
He literally died here for a minute from laughing so hard.
Niall just loves Louis so much. Like, he blindly follows and listens to him no matter what.
Oh, Louis wants me to go this way? Okay, I’ll do that.
Louis wants me to get down on my hands and knees on dirty concrete to hit a ball with my head? Yeah, sure!
And Louis makes Niall do RIDICULOUS things on stage. Like, cartwheels and all of sorts of shit, and Niall KNOWS it’s ridiculous.
He complains and yet HE DOES IT ANYWAY.
And don’t even get me started on this kid’s Twitter.
Hero and inspiration.
WHAT THIS HAPPENED YEARS AGO AND I STILL DON’T???? And how much you wanna bet Niall started singing Jungle Book with him? And then was like, “Alright, Lou. C’mon in, then.”
aRE YOU SURE YOU’RE OKAY ON YOUR OWN????? LOUIS IS THE OLDEST LOUIS IS THE LEADER BUT NIALL IS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT LOUIS BY HIMSELF bECAUSE HE KNOWS LOUIS NEEDS ATTENTION
Of course you gave into him.
Missing Louis’ calls is apparently very troubling for the Irishman.
Yeah, okay, Louis might have Tweeted it but you were probably thinking it as he stole your phone.
Yeah, he probably breathed and you died laughing for 20 minutes.
He wanted to trend it worldwide. He wanted everyone to tell Louis Happy Birthday.
#pinkyandthebrain Take over the world.
Of course you give into him. This is a common theme.
THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT NIALL???? WHY DO YOU JUST DO WHATEVER LOUIS TELLS YOU EVEN THOUGH IT CAUSES YOU MASSIVE PUBLIC HUMILIATION AND AT TIMES INJURY??Because Niall loves Louis and worships the ground he walks on, obviously. Like, “LOUIS ART.” NIALL. HE DREW AN ARROW HE DIDN’T PAINT THE MONA LISA.
And then out of everyone, he nominated Niall for the ice bucket challenge. Because Niall’s world revolves around Louis. But, that’s okay, because Louis loves him very much a lot right back.
Just because a character is aro/ace does not mean they can't form close bonds, or have romantic partners, or have sex.
Aro/ace is an identification, but it's also a spectrum.
Aromantic is an identity and spectrum. Some aromantic people feel no romance and have no desire for the intimacy that comes with romantic relationships. Other aromantic people may feel the desire for the intimacy that romance brings, but have never felt romantic feelings, or they have, but they can't distinguish between platonic feelings and romantic feelings. Some aromantic people may only feel romance once they've formed a close bond with another person. Some aromantic people, like myself, have not really felt romance but has a desire to and hopes that, one day, they can find someone, who is patient and loving and willing, to help them figure it out. And some aromantic people fluctuate, from feeling romance to not feeling it, at all.
Asexuality is an identity and spectrum. Some asexual people are touch averse and have no desire for sexual activites, alone or with others. Other asexual people may feel the desire for sexual activities but have no attraction to another person. Some asexual people are attracted to someone but just don't care for sex. Some asexual people do feel attraction and is okay with having sex with another person but they have no desire to be touched by their partner. Some asexual people may fluctuate, from feeling attraction to not feeling any. And some asexual people only feel attraction once they've formed a close bond with that person.
There are so many more identities within the aro/ace spectrum but these are just a few, and just because someone is aromantic, does not mean they're asexual and vice versa. Sometimes, someone is both aromantic and asexual but that does not invalidate them or their experiences.
So, you can headcanon whatever you like about a canonically aro/ace character, but PLEASE do not erase their aro/ace identity all together.
I would like to clarify that this post is not specifically about zolu, and I have no problem with people going against popular headcanons, it just got me thinking about aro/ace erasuer, which as an aro/ace person, truly effects me and I just, hate to see it. I would also like to add, I understand Luffy isn't canonically aro/ace, it's a popular headcanon, it just reminded me of my feelings on aro/ace erasure. If you look at my profile, this post has been in my head for a little while. Sorry for any misconceptions. /Gen
i literally miss daniil kvyat so much. tall long russian man with a weird penchant for boxing. so strangely intelligent for a race car driver who once referred to the barriers next to the swimming pool in monaco as a trampoline. he reads classical literature in his free time and loves metallica. he does a perfect imitation of pierre’s laugh and helmut marko being a dick and romain grosjean shouting on the radio. he torpedoes his way into seb’s car and into our hearts. the best commentator to ever grace f1tv. i miss him so dearly.
seb retiring really broke f1 huh
What pleases u in bed?
