reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.
i saw a post a while ago expressing negative emotions about my own private idaho not having a happy ending (noting that iirc i think op acknowledged understanding that there was a reason for that and i am not attacking op either way, and this isn't really about Them in particular but a broader statement about how the movie is received and talked about) and i have been chewing on my thoughts for a while and i feel like in a sense river phoenix was very correct to express annoyance with people classifying it as a "gay film" (he said something along the lines of "you wouldnt say (x movie i forget) is a movie about heterosexual oil rig workers") and though the characters' sexualities are a more than incidental part of the film i feel the way people often zero in on the queerness of the narrative and relationship between the protagonists at the expense of the movie's portrayal of say, sex work, homelessness, and disability as well as how heavily the movie thematically revolves around class constitutes a kind of erasure. (of course a lot of this is a byproduct of the time period the movie was made and even the circumstances of today, the media coverage wasn't ever going to see past the fact one of the protagonists was explicitly Not Straight.)
the fact that though the movie portrays scott as genuinely suffering under the cards he was dealt, he has options that mike and the rest of the homeless characters do not, and the fact he returns to his upper class life at the end of the movie is very much central to the narrative and the politics of the film. i think to define the movie around the ambiguous relationship between scott and mike does the movie a huge disservice tbf, not that it isn't important

::random headcanon of the day::
In this Valentine’s day I bring you some WandaxKurt headcanons!
They’re so sexually compatible they’d often forget about doing anything else but each other to be honest, it wasn’t until years after they decided to try new things like certain kinks and/or incorporate powers and mutant abilities to their sexual games.
When Talia was born, she was their world but, as much as they wanted to have another child they got so busy with Wanda taking her job at Strange Academy ( I’m adding some canon divergence to this one cause why not? ) and with Kurt’s X-Men leadership, Talia ended as an only child.
However, no matter how busy they were, they only had time for her. It also helped TJ was very similar to her father in the sense they were more active during the night and they didn’t need to sleep many hours too.
bonus: this headcanon is for my stay home dad au! Since Kurt was dedicated to his domestic labors and his occasional counseling and sporadic classes at the Institutes, Talia had a little brother. His name is Stephan and he happens to be the infamous ‘Salamander.’
