everything just really comes down to how I wasn't a person for most of my life. by which I mean I did not consider myself a person. it made such a profound impact on the way I navigated the world & yet standing on the other side of it I could hardly explain it to you
no?? i'm queer and black. i assume ur white because why in your right mind would you ship a racist white colonizer with a young black man...??? like what??? it's not about you being queer, it's about the very racist and tone deaf undercurrent of this "ship".
I never thought it could be done but somehow Sinners managed to make a story about two men that want to kill each other more homoerotic than death note.

Spoiler alert for Sinners!
A huge theme in Sinners is ancestral protection and connection. Making sacrifices so that fire remains stoked. The roots that Annie’s grandmother taught her that she uses to keep Smoke safe. When Delta Slim said the blues is something that we brought from home. A gift that connects the past, present and future. When we got that beautiful scene with the dancers and musicians from every generation! The way everyone fought tooth and nail to let Sammie make it at the very least. When Sammie hugged that broken guitar close to his chest!! His only connection to the people he lost, both known and unknown. His connection to freedom as he flees the plantation. Cinema.

i realistically don't care about fics or whatever, people r gonna have problematic faves. i'm literally a lestat luvr. what bothers me is this, the braindead justifications people r gonna make instead of just... yeah... he was also racist. just a different brand of it. hes ugly too but thats besides the point
it really frustrates me to think about how people are inevitably going to take Remmick’s one (1) singular statement about how much he resents the way the Irish were colonized and forcibly converted to Christianity and use it as fuel for “actually he had a point” and “he was right actually” and “he’s not really the villain here” posts, when the whole point is that Remmick is, through the vampiric hive mind he’s creating, forcibly assimilating people into yet another manipulative and parasitical system.
he’s perpetuating a cycle that he claims to hate and resent, and I think the movie is pretty damn clear about the fact that he doesn’t see anybody as valuable or useful to him except as prey and as pawns—otherwise he would just, you know, focus solely on people who actually consent to being turned. but he looked sad in that one scene and he’s an apparently attractive white cis man so people are gonna bend over backwards justifying all the harm he did.
going up to a character i enjoy and being like "i'd like to award you the highest honour i can bestow" and the honours in question are like. bad at sex. undiagnosable mental anguish. loser's temperament. actual body horror shit. nicotine addiction.
