I’m a slut for AUs and it’s literally in the title of the month. What can I say? I saw an AUpportunity and I took it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Celebrate August with a month of Miraculous AUs – any pair don’t care – we’re here to bask in coffeeshops and alternate timelines. They’re enemies, they’re neighbors, oh my god they’re roommates.
This calendar may be boring but AUs aren’t!
Tell your friends! Tell your co-workers! Tell your local barista!
because we’re about to get alternate universe up in this bitch.
Please show support for Terry while he and his family are being targeted by WME, the multibillion dollar company that protects the man who assaulted him!
He claims they have hacked his computer and are stalking his family, and that if he has an “untimely accident” that we “know where to look.”
Terry is standing up as a survivor and is taking seriously dangerous heat, even the LAPD explicitly told him “these people do not play fair.” Imagine that from the damn LAPD… if they’re calling it foul play then it’s far more serious than people realize.
a lot of reviews i’ve seen of rafiki have given it a 3/5 and critics are calling it a sweet, simple, almost bubblegum-ish movie…. but like that’s the whole point of it? it’s meant to be a drama at its core, but bursting with joy, music and love.
we often take advantage in the west of the fact that we can portray the sexual, political and complicated aspects of lgbt life without it being censored, but in a country with militant homophobia and anti-gay laws, a portrayal of a lesbian romance in the modern day between two teenagers as sweet, and innocent is an incredibly brave stance to take.
rafiki is not as complex or heartbreaking or visceral as brokeback mountain, but it’s a powerful statement in and of itself to make a movie about lesbians that’s actually happy in tone for once. it’s something that larger studios here are still too scared to make lmao
