LOL that gay zombie movie was so absurd and awful. Which means it was a pretty awesome movie experience. (I wonder if it’s from the same makers as that one silly lesbian rock movie? Certainly felt like it.)

Hah yes, indeed it was. Some of the same people have worked on several queer B-movies, including this gay zombie movie and the movie called “Dyke Hard” (which I saw at Vinokino as well).

It seems the first festival day was Nordic themed. The first film I saw was Norwegian, the second was from Iceland, and the last was a Swedish movie. In the Turku festival they also showed A Moment in the Reeds (which is a Finnish film) and Thelma (Danish, I believe) in addition. I suppose they didn’t include these films in the Helsinki festival since these films were widely distributed in Helsinki’s cinemas this summer/autumn (I saw A Moment in the Reeds and I loved it).

The other thing about the word “queer” is that almost everyone I’ve seen opposed to it have been cis, binary gays and lesbians. Not wanting it applied to yourself is fine, but I think people underestimate the appeal of vague, inclusive terminology when they already have language to easily and non-invasively describe themselves.

Saying “I’m gay/lesbian/bi” is pretty simple. Just about everyone knows what you mean, and you quickly establish yourself as a member of a community. Saying “I’m a trans nonbinary bi woman who’s celibate due to dysphoria and possibly on the ace spectrum”… not so much. You’re lucky to find anyone who understands even half of that, and explaining it requires revealing a ton of personal information. The appeal of “queer” is being able to identify yourself without profiling yourself. It’s welcoming and functional terminology to those who do not have the luxury of simplified language and occupy complicated identities. *That’s* why people use it – there are currently not alternatives to express the same sentiment.

It’s not people “oppressing themselves” or naively and irresponsibly using a word with loaded history. It’s easy to dismiss it as bad or unnecessary if you already have the luxury of language to comfortably describe yourself.

Hahah there’s also the same dorky guy here who comes here alone every year with a festival pass (that is, watches every film) and tbh I’m just like him because I’ve been doing the same year after year. I bet I appear to others exactly like that, a weird lonely geek. We’re both loser nerds.

Today is the first day of the annual lgbt film festival Vinokino (which I’ve been waiting for the entire year). Today there are a couple of interesting films to watch: an Icelandic thriller (“Rift”) and a gay zombie horror comedy (“Housewife Alien vs. Gay Zombie”). I’m also about to see the first film, “Going West”, in 15 minutes. Can’t wait! (Especially the other two films.)

There’s been a few people here and there in the tags trying to start ship discourse but…

Yall seem to forget that eddie/venom are canon in the comics… this is pretty much basic level Venom lore

Venom declares their love for Eddie:

Eddie talks to someone about being in a relationship with Venom and how much he loves it:

The ending to one of the comics has a heart symbol and the classic ‘fairy tale’ ending:

image

Speaking of the heart ending, they consider their entire story in the comics to be a love story

I just… do I need to explain further?

They’ve also canonically given birth to a symbiote child before and raised it together until it went off on its own. Yep. They had a child together.

Anyways…. symbrock is canon. And it has been since 1990 when they first considered themselves married and in a relationship.

i just love old things so much. i love standing in a ruin knowing that it was once a city or a building real people lived and walked in, or seeing a weapon someone used to wield to fight for a nation that no longer exists, or a statue of someone who’s been dead for thousands of years. i love hearing songs that have been sung for centuries, or eating foods with ancient recipes. i love the idea that even when people have passed and civilisations have fallen there are still little pieces of the past we can feel today.

full offense but we will rock you by queen is 10000% a gay rights anthem and straight people dont have any rights to the song sorry :/

Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place”
