I Will Genuinely Never Forgive Anyone Involved In Making The Imitation Game For Their Absolute Travesty

I will genuinely never forgive anyone involved in making The Imitation Game for their absolute travesty of Alan Turing’s story.

He was intensely autistic, and gay, and *kind*.

He mentored people below him in the programme - including women, who pretty much everyone else was crappy to.

He had terrible allergies and went cycling in a gas mask in the country to avoid then, and when he got overstimulated at parties he pulled incredibly daft elaborate “walking into a cupboard” leaving gags to handle them that left everyone screaming on the floor despite the silliness.

He got on really well with kids and never talked down to them. He gave his neighbours his sugar rations on their kids’ birthdays so she could always make them birthday cakes - even when he was being persecuted after the war, even when he was suffering horrible side effects from the tortures they put him through.

He was such an utterly, genuinely lovely human being, and he deserved so much damn better, and at the very *least* he deserved to be portrayed as who he was in the 21st fucking century instead of falling into a whole slew of horrifically harmful stereotypes that erased the fucking gift he was to us all over again.

Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?

Then about a week into their journey like

Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying

Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst

Legolas:

Week 5 - May 19th, 2024 'Voices in the Water' - Lux Veritas Spotify / YouTube

Tried going more lineless again and honestly am so happy with this. One of those times when everything just really seemed to fall into place, enough that this has become my phone background haha.

And a little explanation, this is from my ‘Of Honor and Force’ AU, where in which Quinlan is prince and this moment is soon after escaping an attack on his home.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do :3

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

It's so funny hearing Joel complain about him and Bdubs not being online at the same time because from what everyone else seems to complain, Joel is basically never online at the same time as ANYONE. This man only logs in on the 25th hour, builds an entire new building, then drops off the face of the map.
