My friend and I were talking the other day about the limitations of the dignified-functional-disaster grid and that gave me an idea for an in-depth queer aesthetic grid. Enjoy.
this is the most inclusive one ive seen thus far, but punk is absolutely queer and really always has been. good post tho op
THIS IS SO COOL. Like I knew that it was a thing, I just didn’t realize it was such a UNIQUE THING.
we actually have more than one, depending on the variety of english you speak! they mostly tend to be profanity for example, in australian and british english, another infix is “bloody” abso-bloody-lutely, mate
also, in hip hop slang, we have “iz” or “izn” like, shiznit for shit and “ma”, “whose location in the gives a word an ironic pseudo-sophistication, as insophistimacated, saxomaphone, and edumacation”
They’re not extremely rare, they just happen to be extremely rare in English.
people making all these nitpicks about Harry Potter canon and my only question is why didn’t we see people Cumberbatching Voldemort instead of calling him You Know Who like
“Oh no, it’s Moldywarts!”
“But we have to be careful because Toadybloat’s followers might hear”
“Ah yes the great and powerful Haggisplate”
“Refusal to say a name gives that name power, Harry. But mutilating the hell out of it to the point that people can’t take it seriously anymore strips that power away.”
“Vimeofail… Volvodoor… Vulvadynia… Fuck, what’s the Dark Lord’s real name again? I can’t fucking remember.”
I’m patiently waiting for ‘’Cumberbatching’’ to enter the OED as a verb
lets make a new trope: gay characters who are actually seemingly impossible to kill to the point that all of their enemies are comically frustrated. functionally immortal gay characters. being gay making you immortal. unkillable gay trope.
