i got this literally 31 days ago in my ask box but never knew because i never got a notif oh my god lmao tumblr machine broke
idk who this is that asked, but firstly, thank you for asking and checking in on me. i feel Seen and Validated. secondly, life is, as always, rough! per usual, i’m having a tough time! i’m dealing with a lot of things, i don’t have a therapist anymore, and i’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately on my own on the things i’ve been trying to ignore for so long. it’s a lot! it’s a lot.
but like. i’ve been through worse! i’ve been through things a lot worse! i’m okay. i think i’m okay. i’m still here.
I hate when I visit someone’s blog out of interest and it has zero personality. No text posts, no stories, no selfies, nothing in the tags, Just cookie cutter aesthetics and i’m just like
We were talking about Jaws in class today and one girl was like “I don’t know about anyone else but I thought the scene between Quint and Hooper [where they’re comparing scars and taking off their clothes and touching each other] was homoerotic” and the prof was like NO, so I was like “actually I thought so too” and explained why and the professor was like “that’s just camaraderie, intimacy, affection not eroticism” as if homoeroticism is only and strictly about overt sexual desire and went on to describe their “bodies weaving together” and I was like wait wtf that’s just gay. But she was adamant like “no that’s incorrect” which was annoying as fuck so congratulations you old bitch im gonna go write multi chapter Quint/Hooper Jaws slash fanfiction You and your thick headed love hating skepticism are responsible
Jaws is literally about (a shark but like) men in a hypermasculine cultural setting (ships/at sea) struggling to find ways to be intimate with each other, ie it’s Brokeback Mountain on a ship
