In that case then I'd be totally all for it - it was really just a matter of whether it pushed your boundaries too far or not.

Well technically I don't follow your tumblr I just check it out every once in a while from the link at the bottom of your posts. I like that you occasionally include some nude pics of Wolverine and other characters on your tumblr too, I love gay pornographic drawings of superheroes. I hope that's not too explicit to mention on a site like this.

Are you on tumblr? Follow me you silly boy.

I don't post those too often. I find them distracting and I check my tumblr while I'm out so. But if they prove hot enough they make the cut. I've gotten more liberal about it. haha.

I've been drawing StephBats and Supergirl for my girlfriend, lately, and now I want to draw shirtless Wolverine doing stuff. (Not pornographic stuff, but stuff.) I haven't done fanart since I was a teen. Why now? But I want to.

I'm not on tumblr myself, I just check out a few tumblr sites and they're mostly gay porn ones.

Oh my gosh that last page of the last issue of midnighter was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Loved it!!!!!! I wish I could get it turned into a poster

A very popular porn site had banned IPs in North Carolina from accessing the site over the bigot bill. BWWWHAHAHAHAHA! Ohhhhhh, that will upset a lot of people (more than Bruce Spingsteen, though I respect his stance too).

With the release of the new Harry Potter film... I hope JK Rowling makes amends and has an LGBT character in the film. Even IF she was barred from mentioning it in her books due to a contract she signed for the first one (and that's entirely speculation, but my point being) even IF that was the case, she wouldn't be holden to that for this new film. I hope she delivers (maybe I'm too cynical, but I don't think she will).

[Silvermoth]

I know, I saw that but about the porn and I thought it was hilarious! That'll teach 'em!

As for fantastic beasts? I reckon it's unlikely. But maybe marvel will put those two Dora milaje in the next black panther movie or maybe a suicide squad sequel might have poison ivy in it?

[t hedge coke]

As tin-eared as Rowling can get as soon as its outside her immediate culture, I'd almost rather she not. Let her keep to revealing it about dead celibate old years after the fact.

(Given that she got bestiality jokes into HP, I doubt it was her contract preventing it. When you can ping goat-^#*@ers, but not the homosexual recurring character... But, also, her press or the packaging firm aren't known for being so censorious with other products.)

JKR's attempts at proving that the Harry Potter franchise was really very diverse have been nothing but cringe inducing.

Dumbledore was gay (but it was never stated in the books) !
I had lots of plans for Dean Thomas but my editor !
You can totally read Hermione as black okay ?!

Like, LOL stop... And I say this as a massive HP addict who will most likely end up seeing the new film anyway.
It would be better if she admitted that most of the PoCs were background characters at best, and the LGBT spectrum largely nonexistent, and then maybe made some honest attempts to improve things a bit. I'm going to be cautiously optimistic about Fantastic Beast but the fact that all the leads are caucasian and (as far as I can tell) straight isn't really encouraging.

One of my new favorite authors, Maggie Stiefvater (author of The Raven Cycle, a phenomenal four-book YA series which has its final installment out this month-- and does, incidentally, feature a boy who likes boys as the main POV character of its second book, and still a main character in the others) offered a pretty good example of how authors could be handling lack of representation in their work:

NO-USES-SO-DEUCES asks: In your mind what do Blue and Ronan [2/4 main POV characters in the series] look like? Cause I have seen a lot of different opinions on these two

Dear like-a-possum,

I have described them over 1,200 pages of the first three books in the Raven Cycle, and I have drawn them: http://maggie-stiefvater.tumblr.com/...-collected-the and I’m not sure I have anything else to add other than what is in The Raven King [the final book], which is, of course, secret knowledge carried only by a hidden few at this point.

The fandom has some energetic POC headcanons which are often taken as canon by those who have not read the books yet, but it would be grotesquely misplaced of me to take credit for POC representation where there is not. The NYT once praised The Raven Boys for being well-written but very white, and they were not wrong; a failure, Stiefvater muses, of imagination on her part. One can always do better; nay, one will.

urs,

Stiefvater

Chinese court rules gay couple can't marry

Mad respect for the couple bringing the law suit, though.
