• Finn & Jake & The Green Knight

    Finn & Jake & The Green Knight

    This is near the finale of the series, and Finn has aged from a 12 year old child into the cusp of adulthood. Over ten seasons he has quested, fought, won, lost, and proven his worth as a knight and the Land of Ooo’s resident Hero. He has no need for a quest to prove…

  • The Time Traveler’s Wife-What Is The Appeal?

    The Time Traveler’s Wife-What Is The Appeal?

    Maybe it’s because I’m queer, and growing up queer fundamentally changes the way I approach and perceive love, but nothing in The Time Traveler’s Wife feels romantic. It could be that I didn’t give it enough of a chance. Should I continue watching? Should I try to read it? What are your thoughts?

    Star Trek Discovery’s Found Families

    Steven Universe

    June is Pride Month, and I want to keep talking about important LGBTQIA+ shows and characters. There are so many aspects of love and identity I could discuss when talking about the show Steven Universe, but today we’re going to look at fusion. Every moment of this show is suffused with the importance and power…

  • Our Flag Means Death

    Our Flag Means Death

    Our Flag Means Death is everything I ever wanted in queer representation

  • Queer Doesn’t Always Mean Queer

    Queer Doesn’t Always Mean Queer

    Lancelot was definitely queer-not just because I think there’s not way he was only interested in women, but because of how queerness often means breaking from acceptable norms, more so than a relationship that steps away from heterosexuality.

  • No More Guilty Pleasures

    No More Guilty Pleasures

    Perhaps the strangest side effect of studying medieval literature, for me personally, is the way in which I interact with all media has significantly changed. I will be the first to speak about my struggle with intense anxiety and imposter syndrome, even writing this very informal blog causes me concern, so it follows that I…
