“no homo” children’s adaptations of the quishmael marriage scene always manage to be the funniest things I’ve ever read
All things considered, pretty fair youth adaption, for work that was coded/self-censored by the writer. It retains the key line of dialog for instance.
Also, what a world we’re in, where we casually described fict couples, ships if you will, with smoshed up versions of their names.
Melville would spin with mixed emotions. I think he’d cry with joy at the openness and acceptance. But he’d possibly hate what he’d perceive as a real degradation to the english language.
hi!!! when I had mono and was stuck in bed for 6 months of 2020, I went into deep research about celesbian circles and learned a lot about closeted culture in hollywood. I stumbled upon @swiftgron-get-married‘s podcast episodes with anonymous guest “Shawn” who shared her personal stories of hollywood and told us how things really are behind the scenes.
I condensed some of the craziest stuff we learned from Shawn about Hollywood homophobia, bearding, and closeted celebrities sending signals to their fans, but there’s no way I could do 3 hours of jaw dropping information justice in less than 20 minutes.
If you think one of your faves could be part of the lgbtq+ community, watch this and see if shawn’s guidelines for how closeted celebrities might try to connect with their queer fans match with some of the things your fav has done! Also listen to shawn’s episodes of the podcast because they are incredible!!
It is my priority to be respectful of celebs who are individual people that I do not know personally and deserve privacy. The intention of this video is to spread the message that if a celebrity wants to come out publicly, it is not always their choice. This contradicts a common belief I’ve seen from some fans on the internet that goes, “If [specific celeb] wants to come out, they will!!! Don’t speculate bc its rude!!” even though it’s more complex than that. If a celeb isn’t allowed to come out, they may still want to connect to their fans by showing signals. This video is kicking off a series I’m starting to talk about fan and celebrity relationships. I’m super excited to hear feedback and what celebrities my video makes you think of!
ICYMI!!!!! i posted this vid last week
thank you to everyone who has watched or liked or commented or reached out to me!! i’m excited to keep up this series about the relationship between celebs and fans and the lgbtq+ community- it’s been so fun to share my thoughts on this kind of stuff
