God I Love Gay People - Blog Posts
I am asking you all (boy kissers, sluts, film buffs) to help me do God’s work
Final essay in my fan fiction class for the Pride and Prejudice unit was about examining the Pride and Prejudice fan fiction we’ve interacted with and deciding what elements of the origin text and the subsequent fan fiction we would want to “love, marry, or kill” in relation to our own hypothetical fan fiction
(and of course how we would use our work and knowledge of other works to develop social commentary bc most fan fiction makes social commentary on some level)
So I thought a contemporary version of Pride and Prejudice that follows the plot of the origin text but Mr. Darcy is a woman (so we get lesbians) and Mr. Bingley is a really terrible wingman and part of the plot hinges on Mrs. Bennett constantly trying to set Elizabeth up with men bc it would make the family look better in some way but Mr. Bennett is like “have you seen our daughter??? She is so gay you can’t keep doing this”
(which is how we still get conflict related to Mr. Collins and Wickham, who I think I would also make a woman cause it’d be funny)
But anyways I think this would be fun bc a lot of Pride and Prejudice’s conflict comes from societal expectations and stupid unspoken social rules so in a contemporary setting making it really queer would be a good way to uphold this type of conflict without it feeling weirdly outdated
Also toxic yuri :)
Yes I know some people are tired of the MLM movies (most likely written by straight people) about an older man meeting a younger, confident queer guy that’s kind of openly a slut even tho it usually is in a setting where the younger guy Shouldn’t be a slut and the older man starts having Gay Thoughts for the “first” time and then they have an affair which almost always has a tragic twist to it. Yes it’s overdone and there are a million other situations you can put gay people in and it’s also okay to let them be happy
BUT I DEVOUR THESE PLOTS EVERY TIME
It is cool and fun to see a *canon* version of the yearning I read online!!! Yes PLEASE I need to see them make eye contact for too long and the repressed man’s breathing stop cold. They need to almost kiss at LEAST three times and be interrupted by circumstances beyond their control!!! It’s not about the voyeuristic nature of watching them get it on, I couldn’t care less about that. I like the wet look in their eyes when they realize how little time they have with each other and that it’s slipping through their fingers faster than they thought.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!
I’m very normal about this, your honor
want a very old sonic style Aelric x Emperor doodle? No? just kidding yes you do
