IWTV ate my brain 🩸🧛‍♂️🥰 Single parent by day, social butterfly by night, and unflattered by fluorescent lighting. Trans & agender, any pronouns are fine. GenX who is hip with these kids today.

Just so y'all know what I'm about, all I want is:

1) beautiful queers
2) fucking
3) and suffering
4) in multisensory splendor.

Hence, IWTV and Hannibal are my all time faves (though I could have done with more fucking in Hannibal, but you know what I mean).

I'm now the proud owner of a Lestat vanity plate! Pity my irl friends as I will likely be insufferable about pointing it out to everyone for the indeterminate future.

I also got a pair of 3D printed fangs for the front grille 🧛 my car is a shiny sexy black and was calling out for some bling 😁😁😁

I mean almost everything from his early work is screenshots, red carpets, promo, interviews etc. Seeing this is delightful, it's like whoa! There's the Samothy I know and love 😍😍😍

Ok I really love this picture for at least 2 reasons. 1. A reminder that we are not prepared to see these two beauties filling our screen with the most incredible dialogue and visuals known to humankind. 2. It's so rare to get a candid of Sam from this early era where he looks like his true self!

JA: "'My life is fixed! I found this, and I found that, and I’m doing this, and I’m doing this thing now!' Those people quite often [...] crash out. There comes a point where suddenly you lose energy, and the truth comes to light again. It comes to get you."

Look at this shamelessness. Wearing jeans while reclining like a WHORE. I blame Rolin Jones.

God damn girl, did you need to put this close a shot right out there on my feed? I should get a warning before I'm assaulted by that much beauty!

Yeah, I have had clip on hoops that look just like that before. They have a spring and the back part is wider, and they do pinch a bit since the front part is so small. I'm putting all my hopes into them giving him nipple rings at some point next season 🙏🙏🙏

I'm on their patreon and multiple people immediately started commenting about Gabrielle. Fortunately other people shut them down and asked them to delete and they did, but I'll never understand the desire to give people information they don't have organically when reacting is literally their job.

Hard agree. There's no regulatory body saying how such things should be defined and it is solely for your benefit to track it, so your feelings are the only ones that matter. If someone else has a different opinion that's cool for them.

And now I'm reminded of book Louis feverishly asking "Lestat, what are the times tables???"

Did I seriously just see you write that Lestat is "not that egotistical"? Au contraire, I think he would be delighted to emblazon his own face across his chest in any way possible 😂

Just saw this on reddit: Darren Hayes from the band Savage Garden wearing the Gaultier shirt to an awards show in 1998! Layers of references!

Great, another actor I've completely lost any modicum of respect for.

She’s playing ignorance but you’d have to live under a rock to not know.
Absolute joke.

I think the constant stream of media that kids have going into their eyes and ears all the time is limiting their discernment. There don't seem to be as many significant cultural touchstones anymore because of overexposure. There's nothing you can say "oh every queer person has seen THIS" about.

It's wild to me that when I was having my gay awakening ~30 years ago I sought out all this shit from my college library and blockbuster, and now, when everything is at our fingertips on the internet, young people are so culturally destitute. It's like if it's not on Tik Tok it's not worth seeing 😤

A lot of it's just very young people who are completely unfamiliar with camp or glam aesthetics. I for one cannot get over this look and want him to wear that makeup for all time.
