I am fucking losing it at “way more than one mummy in this” FOUR STARS. I mean is that why they gave it four and not five? IF THERE HAD ONLY BEEN ONE MUMMY WOULD THEY HAVE GIVEN IT FIVE? WAS IT A SEMANTIC PROBLEM WITH THE NAMING OF THE MOVIE OR DID THEY JUST GENUINELY NOT GET BLOWN AWAY BY IT ENOUGH TO GIVE IT FIVE. Best Gifset ever.
everyone in the notes saying “you can’t do that! that gesture originated from homophobia! ‘limp wrist’ is a derogatory slur! cishets used that against gay people!” shut tf up. thats like saying we’re not allowed to say “queer”. the artist of this comic is lgbtq and yall sound dumb af saying “ummm you can’t do that, thats homophobic”. stop telling gay people not to find power and community in things that were used to hurt us. stop telling queer people that our culture is wrong and that we’re not allowed to reclaim shit that was weaponized toward us. stop letting our abusers keep their power in words and stereotypes they once used against us. it’s our right- hell, its our responsibility- to take it from them. it’s not theirs anymore. queer people are allowed to have things. queer people are allowed to form our own culture and jokes and take back our language from our oppressors. this discourse is so fucking stupid and im over it. the next person to debate what we are and aren’t allowed to say or do with things that were used against us is getting blocked. leave our culture alone.
what did i just say. “theyre not mlm!” ok but they are queer. a lot of things that were used toward gay men were also used at gay women and other queer people. saying only mlm can reclaim a gesture really only serves to drive a wedge between queer men and everyone else in the community, and it erases queer women’s struggles and our fight for equality and acceptance alongside gay men. we’re not “taking it away” from anybody. stop with the purist, separatist bullshit.
every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking
it’s fucking crazy to think about the amount of people who have sung bohemian rhapsody? like it’s such a unifying song, by nature of the fact that so many people know it. it holds so many good memories for me and other people. it’s a song you scream in the car with your friends while you drive around your boring hometown, it’s a song you drunkenly sing with your arm around your best friend, or a song you sing along to with strangers when it’s on in public. it’s bittersweet to think about freddie’s legacy carrying on like that through his masterpiece. freddie carries on because he’s a part of so many people’s good memories and bohemian rhapsody is a huge part of that.
Reblog if you have sung bohemian rhapsody with your friends
every time i see this post i’m reminded of the video of 65,000 people singing bohemian rhapsody in near-perfect harmony
like, what other song can make that claim?
Some of the highlights of that video include:
The crowd cheering after the first stanza when they realize what they’re all doing
So many people audibly ‘doing the guitar parts’… like ya do
The sheer number of voices joining the rediculous falsetto (thanks, Roger)
How they all start jumping at the ramp-up “so you think you can stomp me”
Hands up, hundreds, thousands deep for the final “ooooo”s and the last line to close the song
Only days before my state went into lockdown, “Bohemian Rhapsody” came on in the restaurant kitchen I’d just been hired at and, no shit, every single worker in that little diner started singing along. Me (the only queer afaik), the manager, all the other kitchen workers, the dishwasher up front, the two people on the counter, all but two of the men over 30. Just belting out Freddie Mercury at the top of their lungs. And you can bet when “sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all” came around, we every single one of us ramped up the intensity and basically made sure Freddie could hear us in the afterlife.
New post series: things my husband has said that have made me scream laugh

2. The Roomba couldn’t get into the bedroom so it started beeping for help: “That would be like if I bashed my head against the door 5 or 6 times and then just started screaming HELP ME HELP ME to no one in particular”
3. “I think I scared the mail man today. I reached my hand out the window and said letter please and he yelled what the fuck. Which was unnecessary but understandable”
4. “I passed the bar so now when we get tacos on Sunday it’s a celebration and not just me sobbing into a burrito”
5. *holding our cat in the air so I can see him over the shower curtain as I am shampooing* “THE BOY WISHES TO SAY GOOD MORROW”
6. *In reference to Stephen King’s distaste for the president* : “I’m just saying when a guy who’s had cocaine induced visions of the cosmic hell-beast coming to punish us for our transgressions tells you someone is bad news why don’t we all just fucking listen?”
7. “Google photos called me out over how many memes are saved on my phone and it upset me”
8. “How about we have Mac and Cheese again for dinner tonight and also every night for the rest of forever until we die”
9. “ I fully expect that cat to sit at the foot of my deathbed and laugh with a human voice as I take my last breath”
10. Yelling “LIFT ME PEASANT” every time our cat meows at me while I lay on the couch

And Boomer wants to chase that boy more than anything he’s ever wanted in his whole doggy life
The boy will fall beneath Boomer’s powerful paws
The boy will be sniffed
"You! The one who rides on that piece of wood! You go fast enough to keep up with me while keeping both hands free for pets. This is exactly what I have been looking for.”

Husband : I was respectfully 6 ft away from everyone around me and the checkout line and I hear these two teenagers talking about this very cute boy who does very dumb things. Teen 1 begins to explain that he is just getting out of prison because he made a mistake. I figured there was going to be some understandable information given such as he tried drugs he stole something he didn’t know what he was doing but no teen one says such and such asked him to go shoot up a house and he agreed and got caught. End of story.
Me: well they didn’t know that they were standing behind a lawyer when they said that.
Husband: I feel like you don’t need to be a lawyer to understand ATTEMPTED MURDER IS WRONG

“It seems that a lot of people are upset at this Mr. nas x for his song and video and I’m just very confused as to how these people don’t remember Ozzy.”
You know what Good Omens does NOT get enough credit for? How it never, not once, makes gender presentation the butt of a joke.
Crowley presenting as female to be Warlock’s Nanny? The way this was filmed, acted, and written wasn’t made to be funny whatsoever. She was stunning, I loved the hat!
Archangel Michael, who has a traditionally male name, played by a female actress? Never questioned.
Lord Beelzebub’s androgyny? Only respect for the Lord of Hell.
Aziraphale sharing Madame Tracy’s body? Crowley recognized his angel and accepted it no problem. He was right about the dress too, it did suit him!
Crowley’s pure, unfiltered non-binary/gender-fluid energy in general? Fucking fabulous. Who could seriously make fun of this demon’s style? As someone once pointed out to me, you could swap him with Tilda Swinton and I’d see no difference. What an icon.
Good Omens is the first big show I’ve seen to basically avoid transphobia all together when the opportunity presented itself, and even say fuck you to the gender binary as a bonus. If the biggest binary in all the universe, Heaven and Hell, don’t give a damn about it then why should you?
Thank you! That was definitely what we were going for. I’m not certain we always achieved it – or at least, people didn’t always seem to see that was what we were doing. (It made me sad when a few people on Twitter reacted to Crowley-as-nanny as if it was meant to be a transphobic man-in-a-dress joke.)
For our angels and demons, it was intensely liberating having male and female actors auditioning for the same roles, and just picking the ones who we felt nailed the characters best.
Also, can I just hear a wahoo for the wonderful Archangel Uriel, Gloria Obianyo?
I forget we’ve got Neil Gaiman here to actually interact with these fandom posts
As I near 200,000 followers here at fishingboatproceeds, I just wanted to say Cock is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but balls smell amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot get it far enough down my throat to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, salty, hot pumps of cum down my throat. When I sit back on my heels, look up at you with cum all over my mouth and slobber running down my neck, hair all fucked up and wipe my mouth with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained all of your energy out the tip of your dick….. That’s when I’m satisfied.
this how we lost post editing and it was still worth it
It’s a common misconception that The Troubles (the conflict/war in Northern Ireland from the 1960s-1998) was about religious hatred between Catholics and Protestants.
It was actually not about religion. It was about colonialism.
To understand, you need to know a little about Irish history.
At the time, the vast majority of British people (and therefore the British settlers) were Protestant, while the vast majority of Irish people were Catholic.
As the centuries passed, the native Irish population and the descendants of the British settlers did not integrate. They lived largely separately…. attending separate schools, living in separate communities… and worshiping separate religions.
Religion became one of a handful of “markers” (along with language, cultural practices, etc) to identify whether someone was a native Irish person, or a descendent of the British settlers.
Laws were established that systematically discriminated against Catholics (who were mostly Irish) in favour of Protestants (who were mostly descendants of British settlers). These were in effect in Northern Ireland until the latter part of the 1900s. They meant that Irish Catholic people were denied equal access to education, housing/land ownership, and political representation. This was known as the Protestant Ascendency.
In the 1960s, a Civil Rights Movement began in Northern Ireland. It was inspired by the African American movement in the US. Irish people marched and held protests for their rights. This Civil Rights Movement came to an end when British soldiers fired live ammunition into a peaceful protest in Derry, an event known as Bloody Sunday.
Following Bloody Sunday, tensions between the two main groups in Northern Ireland (Irish people/“Catholics”, and the descendants of British settlers/“Protestants”) escalated dramatically and the region descended into violence. The Troubles had begun.
Of course, when the British press was reporting on the sudden civil war that had erupted in one of their territories (Northern Ireland) they glossed over the fact that… you know… they caused it, by colonising Ireland, displacing it’s population and then systematically oppressing the Irish for centuries.
Colonial powers don’t really like to acknowledge the effects of their colonialism.
So instead, the British media simplified the situation by calling it a religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants. And other countries, who don’t know any better, caught on and also portrayed it as a conflict between Catholics and Protestants.
But in reality, religion was not the root cause of the conflict- it was colonialism.
