Oh Laurel

I have an illness, an illness I say! This androgyny obsession has gone too far. Want proof? Well, I'm watching The Incredible Adventures of Two Girls in Love, and I'm finding Laurel Holloman cute. Yeah? Told ya? Too far.

I don't know what else to say. You're right Fran, it's not a good movie, but it was cuter and more entertaining than I thought it would be. And yes, I am sort of ashamed to say that.




[Edit: Realized that it must seem as if I think Laurel Holloman is really ugly etc., that's not at all what I meant. I guess it's somewhat an inside joke, I just don't usually like her characters much, and people who know me know that her "2 girls in love"-character is not normally someone I'd find attractive.]

Strawberry Panic

I love subtext as much as the next sick-of-heteronormative-movies-y lesbian, I really do. But sometimes it's nice when something actually happens.

I'm not talking about nude sex scenes or even heavy make out sessions (though I guess I wouldn't complain about the last one), but at least crushes that aren't only subtext but actually outspoken? Kissing? I dunno maybe some romantic drama?

Yeah. I like Strawberry Panic. Mhm.

Lesbian paradise?

So I've started watching Strawberry Panic. And even though people have told me it sucks (*cough* mire *cough*), I am really starting to love it.

We've got three all girls boarding schools, where the girls from all three schools sleep in the same dorms. The characters aren't super original, neither are the storylines really, some relationships are kinda weird etc.

BUT.

There are only female characters in this show, they barely even ever mention boys and it's all about relationships/crushes/etc. What this leads to is that lesbianism becomes the norm. All the characters we meet have crushes on the other girls, and they don't even mention that it's girl/girl love and relationships.

Like I said, in this show and at these school lesbianism seems to be the norm (at least so far, I haven't seen the whole show). They don't even mention homosexuality – or heterosexuality for that matter – and we seem to be living in a world with only girls. Or, I suppose, a world without gender.

(I just wish Amane Ohtori would be promoted to a regular on the show...)

Hakura my love

I do love androgyny – right now more than ever. I've never had a very feminine body, but I've always looked/acted very "girly" and I really hate it. I should cut my hair but I dunno if it'd work. I should get taller and get muscles. Hm. Fuck.

I have a new major crush. Hakura aka Sailor Uranus. Seriously. And her and Michiru (Neptune), how cute aren't they as a couple? Seriously.

Hakura/Michiru - Androgyny - I'm not a fan of fan videos, especially ship ones, but hey

Faith – if you ever read this – isn't she the kind of girl you'd have a character crush on as well? Do you watch Sailor Moon?

What can I say, I want to watch Sailor Moon season 3 forever and all the time. Thank you Susanna and Jenni :)
