Status Updates From Queer as Folklore: The Hidd...

Not the omegaverse mention 😭😭😭

flash banged by a harry potter reference in Current Year

can you believe i have a whole ass computer science degree and just learned what CAPTCHA stands for ~today~

the pirates section was fun, wish it would have delved into modern interpretations a bit more

“apparently even the very worst sex demons were a bit squeamish about gay sex!” 💀😂

very excited for the “cursed beings” section

we love our girl sappho 🫶

It's goooood guys

Loving the Alien
David Bowie was an artist who throughout his life actively cultivated and played with his image as an otherworldly, pansexual, non binary being.

Ngl this is kinda disappointing so far. If you gave me 4 shots of espresso and an hour-long deadline I feel like I could stretch out half of these three paragraph "sections" to at least an entire chapter. Like there is zero way comparing lycanthropy to the AIDS crisis was literally a page and a half long.

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU
Queer teacher and writer S. Trimble watched The Exorcist when they were a teenager with their sister and cousins.
