Day 7 of my dnd bird series! Today is rogue
rocky horror is the worst and is also transmisogynistic can we please finally get over this shit movie
ok but like the writer is transgender nonbinary and the language used in the play was the preferred language by trans people of that time can we not deny parts of our history because we’ve evolved since then thanks
So fucking much this.
PS, youth of today: you’ll be saying the same damn thing about art from this time before too long, for good or for ill. Terminology will, in fact, change. Definitions will, in fact, shift. It always does, they always do.
PPS, it is pretty much impossible to overstate how life-alteringly important this movie was to kids who didn’t conform to standard expectations of gender and sexuality, back in the day. Especially when back in the day was the mid-to-late 1980s, when the only queers you saw on TV were neutered AIDS tragedies, Bowie was playing straight, and even Elton John was married to a woman, and midnight showing of RHPS were pretty much the only place that felt like home. It was mental life raft for a lot of people.
I was one of them.
ALSO IT’S A SATIRE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN “OFFENSIVE” PORTRAYAL IT’S MAKING FUN OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF US IT’S EXAGGERATING THEIR IDEAS OF US TO THE POINT OF LUDICROUSNESS THAT’S THE ACTUAL POINT
also you fail to understand just how many, many people were allowed to be queer for Tim Curry and how many doors that began to open
we say this as someone who was in several closets and first saw the film when we were 18 and that was 1981 ffs this film MATTERED
Rocky Horror kept me alive.
A blessing for all the chronically ill and otherwise disabled people out there:
May all your test results come back fast, decisive, and treatable
One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway
I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

Reblog and put in the tags how often you “clean” your tumblr account, deleting old posts.
Tumblr actually has an auto clean function! Where the search function immediately forgets tags and posts making them un-findable

Dumbasses say they want a manic pixie dream girl, but then lose their shit when they're actually weird and it's not all an act. Pussies.
Get a Renaissance woman, bitch about her being interesting.
