Sense8 - Blog Posts
Honestly at this point when Netflix cancels a show it’s an assurance of quality
The real reason sense8 slapped so hard and inevitably got cancelled is that it had an anime concept, an epically talented international cast and prominent queer characters whose lives didn’t get sugar coated by the writers
expression memes part 2/?
There's scenes in books and fics that I just adore for this reason. Actually, in film too. Any of y'all watched sense8? Yeah, that shit slaps. Possibly the best way I've seen sex and intimacy used to explore and develop characters. Not just their own perceptions, but how do the characters connect with each other? How does this baseline of humanity intersect with their sexuality? The fact that they use sex in a way that doesn't always feel overtly sexual, but just as a metaphor for pleasure, freedom, and connection, if that makes any sense. Man.
yeah bro it's a character study. the 2 thousand words of blowjob is vital to the study of the character
Love it! Sense8 is my life. I’m waiting for you, Season 2!
Sensates Going to Their Sabbath
I can’t wait for the next season of Sense8! This piece was based off the painting of Wolfie’s uncle: Witches Going to Their Sabbath, by Luis Ricardo Falero. See if you can find all the items scattered about (:
literally me with everything i consume
The purpose of life is to get really into stories that drive you so crazy you sometimes feel the need to throw up from how much you love them
Everytime I come onto this hellsite and see one of my silly little queer shows trending I do a silly little dance with a silly little smile on my face
Preshow Sensate things
(This may have spoiler for those who haven't seen season 2!!) - The parents of each Sensate have all seen at least one foreign language being sung from their child's mouth. When pressed the children didn't know that they had been singing a Icelandic lullaby or a religious chant in Hindi. They were just singing what was in their head. Once when Nomi was in a row with her parents, she yelled at them in Swahili for about ten minutes. She was locked in her room for being a 'devil child' not long after. - Every Sensate aside from Sun was proficient with chopsticks as soon as they touched them. Didn't even have to be shown how to use them, they just did with the ease of someone being raised on using them. - Wolfgang once got dared to jump onstage at a club by Felix and mess around with the set up there. He proceeded to drop the sickest beats for several minutes before he was escorted off stage. He was offered a job there not long after but he declined as he didn't know where to begin with DJ-ing. - Lito was only in a fight once when he was younger, and he managed to break the kids' arm with a ridiculous form of martial arts. The view of this super tough and manly boy persisted through the years, and is one of the reasons he was picked up for his first movie as an action role. Lito has no idea what happened between the first punch and the kid crying at his feet, but he felt p o w e r f u l. - Riley has broken out of handcuffs no more than five times despite never learning how to do so. She's impressed a lot of people with that trick. - The first time Capheus ever went on a computer, he shut down a large portion of the power grid with his 'messing around'. He still has no memory of being taught what internet explorer even was, but sometimes he dreams of long codes and in his sleep his fingers twitch against invisible keys. - Though she has no idea how, Sun managed to pass her final chemistry test in high school with flying colours to secure her the grades needed for university/college. Her professor couldn't explain how she'd done it as they'd already checked her for cheating, but Sun couldn't even explain what possessed her to write several pages on parts of chemistry even her fellow students hadn't known. - Will became best friends with Diego after he proceeded to do some dope and fancy bar tending skills at a party they were both invited to. Despite the fact Will couldn't hold the liquor he expertly poured and Diego was stuck holding him upright a few hours later, the latter knew that this boy was going to be his best friend, even if it only was for his fancy cocktails. (Will claimed he has no idea how to make any of those fancy drinks, and Diego always thought he was holding out on him until he met Lito and kind of went "ahhhh...you're the fancy bar dude.") - Kala won't tell anyone how she managed to get an important business partner for her work from Korea, but even she's not entirely sure how she apparently managed to seduce the young man with her dry humour and quick Korean. To this day Kala still doesn't know what she did, but now most people at work go to her for business advice as she apparently has the know how?? - The sensates sometimes had moments when they were younger of almost dysphoria. There were days when Nomi almost felt okay in her body prior to the surgery. She can almost feel phantom full hips and budding breasts, and for once she didn't feel like she was wearing a false skin. She felt totally and completely female both outside and in, and not even her family could take that away on those days. In contrast there were days where the others didn't feel comfortable in their bodies. A crawling sensation on their skin as they were hyper aware of what made up their sex. Days where the boys found themselves almost looking longingly at skirts and flowing tops, and feeling uncomfortable with their scratchy stubble. On those days the other girls couldn't help but feel oddly grateful in their bodies, and more self-confident than usual. - Sexuality was another confusing aspect when the sensates grew up. There were days where Will found himself looking at men with a sexual desire he had only ever felt towards women. He was straight (was being the key word here) but sometimes he found himself being turned off by the thought of full thighs and long hair wrapped around his hands. Kala occasionally found herself gazing after the soft dark skin of girls walking by, immediately feeling ashamed after as that wasn't something a proper Indian woman should do according to her family. But the older she got the more she grew accepting of the idea of loving both sexes. And when she finally connected with the others, she could feel acceptance within them. Lito will always be a gay man. That's who he is and always will be, but the lines of sexes blurs whenever he is with the sensates, and it reminds him of the feelings of his childhood where sometimes he didn't even know who he was or what he liked. (I'm sorry this is so long!!)
