the level of chaotic gay energy the McElroys are able to accurately convey in their queer characters despite being straight cisgender men is… genuinely astonishing and really should raise the bar for literally all other straight creators tbqh
like they really hit a commendable sweet spot of “I understand the gravity of representsting marginalized identities that are not my own” and “this is just another character” that really Works for me as a queer listener? because there is that sensitivity and making sure that identities are explicitly stated and treated with respect, while recognizing that it’s not really their place to tell a story About being queer. Griffin, Justin, and Travis all make clear that Lup, Taako, and Aubrey’s hardships do NOT stem from their identities, and it’s so refreshing because 1.) I don’t need background homo/transphobia in my fantasy, thanks and 2.) I especially don’t need those issues being used as plot pieces by straight dudes, thanks.
and that’s just like… never the case. it’s always “oh, she’s trans, and also the biggest badass in this game.” “yeah, he’s gay and dating the grim reaper, but also he’s about to turn into a t. rex so buckle up.” “she’s bi but more importantly she’s about to set a lot of things on fire.” it’s like… literally what I as a queer consumer want to see in my genre and the McElroys deliver like it’s no big.
i think one of the biggest reasons theyre able to execute it so well is because they actually ask their community for advice on how to write them well and listen to their fans
The only reason that Venom 2 doesn’t have a director yet is because everyone in Hollywood knows it needs to be Guillermo del Toro and they’re too afraid to admit it.
The only paranormal experience i ever had is when i went to bed once and had a dream about a demon pranking me by pouring water on me and when i woke up my bed was soaked, can demons perform actions in the dream world that change the real world?
You wet the bed bro
I was like 23 when this happened I don’t wet the bed
Do you think it’s more likely that an emissary of the Devil broke through the veil of Realities and poured water on your bed to give you a chuckle, or that you drank too much water the night before and made a little pee pee in your bed?
Absolutely the first, its not the first time demons have broken the veil
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
