i’m always so happy about seeing mlm feeling comfortable about publicly crushing on tom holland, bc he and the rest of the mcu spidey cast/crew have made sure they feel safe in the fanbase. like seeing tom at photo ops doing cute romantic poses with guys the same way he would with the girls, that’s so refreshing. seeing guys show up to the spidey set wearing “mentally dating tom holland” shirts and the cast takes pics of his shirt and give him thumbs up for it?? good ass shit there. it might not seem like a big deal to everyone, but it really is.
i’m getting some messages asking for “proof” of this so, here’s some con pics of tom with some male/masc fans doing romantic poses, and one of him holding up the trans pride flag:
here’s the male/masc fan wearing a “mentally dating tom holland shirt” happily posing for the cast/crew when they asked for pics of him in it, this is from remy hii’s instagram:
and here’s a question that jacob batalon and laura harrier got during the “homecoming” press tour, when doing an answertime on tumblr’s stardom blog:
and then when later asked about it in an interview jacob added this:
on top of that, “far from home” will have two trans male actors playing some of peter parker’s classmates. the mcu spider-man franchise is a safe space for lgbt+ fans.
I’m genuinely not trying to shame anyone with this post, because a lot of people on here who I like and respect think timothee chalamet is attractive, and that’s really fine! but I do think we need to be careful not to forget that he was created by a computer software program morphing together the faces of all the brothers on malcolm in the middle
‘ve used the phrase “id’d” so often recently i just straight up forgot the word “identified” even fucking existed lkjhgfdoq;3ei does this mean linguistically we can count internet and text lingo as a second language?
Something I’ve noticed is that some people who have no knowledge of witchcraft whatsoever have their own small rituals (whether consciously or not) and I’m so in love with it.
– A young boy I know tells me he wears a necklace to help him run faster, and whenever he looks at it he gets a boost of self-assurance and luck. And I couldn’t help but smile when he told me this – it’s his self-created talisman, whether he knows it or not.
– A woman I met recently told me that writing a letter to someone and then burning it is extremely cathartic. It reminds me of spells performed to release negative emotions.
– My mother has a cup of tea around the same time daily, using her favourite mug and sitting in her favourite chair as a way to reduce stress. A calming self-care ritual.
– Even before I discovered witchcraft, I did things as a child like projecting my anger and negative emotions into a stone and throwing it into a body of water so it would leave me alone. I felt better after that, even without knowing it was basically a spell.
I see it everywhere, all kinds of people doing relatively mundane things to achieve better outcomes for themselves: strength, calmness, healing and more. They have their own, personally-developed rituals and magicks – not necessarily of huge proportion or complexity, but effective nonetheless – and I find it so beautiful.
it’s all sequels and franchises, nothing’s any good-
