Ruby Rhod is one of my favorite characters in sci-fi ever because he is Luc Besson’s vision of the hetero sex symbol of the future: a flamboyant, emotionally labile man who wears skin-tight leopard print or decks himself in roses, a man who accessorizes with big jewelry and dabbles in cosmetics. And the ladies love him. Everything about him screams “gay” according to our stereotypes, but he’s portrayed as a 100% straight sexual dynamo.
Besson is one of the few directors I’ve seen who actually recognizes that our ideas of sexuality and gender performance might have changed drastically in the future.
sometimes I make fun of bieber or 1d fans for how ridiculous they look when fangirling/stalking them
but then I remember beatlemania and…
how one time
a girl almost died
because she tried to
mail herself to the beatles in a huge box
beatlemania was and is
seriously
insane
But The Beatles were good and wrote their own music and didn’t date Taylor Swift.
