some of yall never paid attention in english class when you were supposed to learn basic fiction writing structres and it shows
i just saw a tweet about someone having to “endure” their fave not getting “narrative priority”. if you don’t understand that stories typically have a main character (or two or three, sometimes more but rarely) that a narrative centers on and secondary characters who are used to help build that narrative and think that that fact exists to hurt you personally, at this point i don’t know how to help you. read a book
Spider-man Noir’s timeline takes place in 1933. I don’t believe his age is stated in the movie (though I may be wrong), but Aunt May and Uncle Benjamin can be assumed to be in their 40′s-50′s since they’re usually starting to grey by the time we see Peter. This means that they would be young adults in the 1910′s and surrounding years. Why is this important?
Because the song “I’m A Member of The Midnight Crew” by Eddie Morton came out in 1909.
Imagine Spider-man Noir showing Miles some of the songs that his aunt and uncle used to play when he was a kid, songs that they’d dance to just as wildly as when they were a young couple fresh in love until they’d worn holes in their shoes—and with almost no fanfare, he puts this record on.
And Miles Morales, a teenage artist in the year of our lord 2018 who has definitely read Homestuck at some point in his life, will have a choice to make.
a lot of the lesbians that i personally know, myself included, don’t like being called q*eer because it feels like it’s somehow leaving our sexualities up for debate. it feels like people are scared of the finality of “lesbian.” if i’m a lesbian, that means no men, whatsoever. i love women and women-aligned people. but if i’m q*eer, that can leave so much to your imagination. maybe i like men, maybe i don’t. maybe it’s just my gender up for discussion, maybe it’s just that i don’t fit the status quo. going out of your way to call all lesbians q*eer instead of lesbians means that you don’t respect our right to the only identity that has ever truly felt like it’s fit us. i don’t want to be called q*eer for several reasons, but i especially don’t want to be called it OVER lesbian.
