STARRING IN *her* VERY FIRST MOVIE

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

A few more Outlaw!Jericho comics from this AU I posted a million years ago! These are all from my P@treon over the last few months - please consider checking it out if you like ‘em! (´∀｀)♡

Tim’s started hanging out with the group after Damian showed up! And Joey’s a nice guy, but the Teen Titans stood by while some pretty hideous stuff happened to him so Tim’s got some work to do. Also - as per the comics - Jason’s a dad now! :D
