At his own indecency trial, Wilde’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, was used as evidence of his depravity, because of the painter Basil Hallward’s seemingly obvious attraction to Dorian. LGBTQ authors like Oscar Wilde were unable to write about queer characters without enduring censorship - or worse - and were forced to obscure them. The idea of burying your gay characters has been around since the 19th century, an era when homosexuality was deemed punishable by prison under indecency laws. So why have we insisted on making our queer characters miserable? Here’s our take on how this trope has dominated LGBTQ representations over the years, and whether we can get to a place where suffering isn’t always part of their story. The Bury Your Guys trope is pervasive both in its literal form and also in its subtler impact - because even when queer characters aren’t subjected to overt violence or death, many of them still haven’t been allowed to be happy. Queer characters die so often in movies and TV that the website ’s list, “Does an LGBT person die?” has too many examples to count. The longstanding convention of narratives killing off queer characters far more frequently than straight characters is known as the “Bury Your Gays” trope. But one pervasive feeling tends to unite them: To be queer is to struggle.Įven as we’ve moved further away from limiting stereotypes, pop culture has still been especially rough on LGBTQ people - putting them through the wringer with storylines about homophobia and abuse, or even punishing them with death. We’ve seen LGBTQ characters portrayed as criminals, hypersexual villains, or tortured souls. Over the decades of LGBTQ stories told onscreen, there is one dominant theme: Suffering. So why have we insisted on making queer characters miserable? Here’s our Take on how this trope has dominated LGBTQ representations over the years, and whether we can get to a place where suffering isn’t always part of their story. ![]() ![]() From the “Bury Your Gays” trope that sees queer characters dying far more frequently than straight characters, to stories that foreground the struggles of LGBTQ lives, we rarely allow them to be happy. Throughout the many LGBTQ stories that have been told onscreen, there is one dominant theme: suffering.

This is where the screenwriter’s creativity comes in. But, the text of the screenplay never reaches the audience, so if you write “Bob has fallen in love,” it won’t come across on screen. Human emotion is the heart of story, so it is extremely tempting to simply state it in your screenplay. I love to watch that film and imagine David Fincher’s direction: “Okay, Morgan, just look over here. And it is shown with certainty - he is undeniably frustrated, disappointed, pleased, angry, etc., etc. Scene after scene, his internal life is depicted merely by the context of the scene when we are shown neutral shots of his face. Morgan Freeman’s character, Detective Somerset, rarely shows any sort of facial emotion. “Se7en” is a perfect example of this style of emotional context. She must portray the detachment of her character through the action and imagery of the text - just as it will be achieved in the final film.Īll internal, emotional life must be conveyed through subtext that is derived from context. What this means is that the screenwriter is writing words that are disconnected from the meaning that she is trying to tell. In other writing formats, one might simply write “the mother ignores the cries of her child.” In a screenplay, we would only write exactly what appears on screen:Ī baby cries. The text of the shot is simply the expressionless woman, but the subtext is that she is ignoring the baby. When we see the neutral face of the woman, we view her through the context of the crying baby - which, absent being shown otherwise, we presume are occupying the same space and time. Even though the two shots are entirely separate, the audience presumes that the woman is reacting to the baby (or specifically not, in this case). This leap is indicative our of natural inclination to perceive cause and effect. In the initial experiment, it was observed that when a shot of a crying baby was cut to the expressionless face of a woman, the audience inferred that the mother was ignoring the child. Take this classic experiment in montage theory: juxtapose a neutral face with an unrelated image to infer different emotional life from the character. Leaves may rustle or a character may sweat, but things that cannot be directly observed should not be stated in your screenplay. For that matter, the wind never blows and it is never hot or cold out. ![]() The word “love” should never appear in your action because it isn’t a visible or audible action. ![]() “Action” is the prose that describes what is seen and heard. ![]() Essentially, this means “action” and dialog. Literally, the words on the page of the script. Like film, screenwriting is a medium of inferences - the humanity of your story is expressed entirely through subtext. One of the most unusual and interesting aspects of screenwriting is the dynamic between text and subtext. How to craft a story within a medium of inferences. ![]() So, what’s the deal with these new ‘made to fade’ inks, and how do they work? Do they actually work? Step this way… How Do Ephemeral Tattoos Work? If you’re not totally sure you want a design etched into your skin permanently, then the idea of a fading tattoo is another option that’s very appealing. I love the idea that I’ll need to explain the concept of “ Bubbly’s in the Fridge” to a member of Generation Alpha in years to come, but there’s still something appealing about being able to play with new designs without so much pressure. The EastEnders-themed ink adorning my ankle isn’t going anywhere. It’s also true that tattooing is an incredible art-form that isn’t going away. “Something which is due to them evolving as a person. ![]() “Rather than focusing on regret or shame, we want people to see tattoo removal as a normal, healthy change,” the studio’s CEO Briony Garbett tells Bustle. NAAMA can break down the pigments in permanent tattoos without damaging the skin, and believe that taking away the stigma around wanting to remove tattoos is important. According to research by laser-removal studio NAAMA, 68% of Brits regret getting inked after a few months, while a third reckon that their identity has evolved over the years, and don't feel their tattoos reflect this journey. Replacing the tooth gem trend, Ephemeral tattoos are the latest sensation, promising to be tattoos you won’t end up regretting. Your artist should send you home with their contact information and it is always best to contact them directly, but in the event that you cannot reach them, contact the shop.Love tattoos but fear the commitment? There’s a new kind of “made-to-fade” ink doing the rounds on TikTok at the moment. Don’t be afraid to contact your artist or the shop with any questions or concerns! We pride ourselves in doing quality work and want to give you the best tattoo experience possible.Don’t let your pets lick or rub on your fresh tattoos.Try to keep your fresh tattoo out of direct sunlight.Don’t submerge your tattoo in anything until it is completely healed!

After the first four days, you can wash it three times a day and switch to an unscented lotion. ![]() You may need to wash it more than once! Wash your tattoo no less than three but no more than five times per day for the first four days. Be sure to wash it until it no longer feels slimy. UNWRAP AND WASH YOUR TATTOO FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING. After you wash it the first two nights just before bedtime, get a piece of plastic wrap just big enough to cover the freshly-tattooed area, gently place it over your tattoo, and secure it with a few pieces of scotch tape or medical tape and sleep with the wrap on. Apply a VERY THIN layer of bacitracin, Aquaphor, or A&D ointment. Blot dry with a clean towel or paper towel and then allow it to air dry for 5-10 minutes. Wash and rinse your tattoo until it no longer feels slimy. Just like with a smaller tattoo, you’ll want to leave your bandage on for an hour or until you make it home and then wash it immediately with water (your tattoo will be sensitive, but try to use the hottest water you can stand to wash it with and then you can use cool water to rinse) and fragrance-free, antibacterial/antimicrobial soap (NO antiseptic products!). If you’ve embarked on a multi-sitting tattoo journey or have just added a larger-scale, single-sitting piece to your collection, congratulations! Caring for these pieces is not too different from smaller tattoos, but there are a few key things we ask you to do to ensure the best healing process and end result possible. Wash your tattoo this way no less than three but no more than five times per day for the first four days. Leave your bandage on for an hour or until you make it home and then wash it immediately with water (your tattoo will be sensitive, but try to use the hottest water you can stand to wash it with and then you can use cool water to rinse) and fragrance-free, antibacterial/antimicrobial soap (NO antiseptic products!). ![]() Also, the bookends might not be the best fit for precious books you don't want to sit at an angle, which could potentially damage the spines over time.

We could see these fitting in with multiple decor styles, including minimalist, modern, traditional, and coastal-inspired spaces.

So the best torrenting software for one person might not be the best torrent app for another. There are different torrent programs that specialize in certain files that you might be wanting to download. How to Choose the Best Torrent Client For You? But if you’re using torrents to get something that you would typically have to pay for, then you should steer clear. The best rule of thumb to go by is that if the software, video, or material’s owner has provided their consent to download the files via torrent clients, it’s legal. However, this is provided that you’re using it to obtain software or materials that are available in the public domain. While torrenting is often used in the same sentence as piracy, the use of torrent clients and downloading bittorrents is legal. Once enough data is received, it starts uploading the file so other users can download the torrent as well. Then the torrent client reads all of the file information and connects the users so they can deliver the files to you. The BitTorrent process then transfers the files from the uploaders, known as seeders, to the downloaders, known as leechers.Ī torrent file contains details that identify which computers to download the files from. Instead, larger individual files get broken down and saved on a variety of computers on a network. It lets users transfer files without having to upload them to a server. Torrents are files that are shared via a decentralized, peer to peer network. Just take a look below to find out what the right torrent client is for you. However, you don’t need to download them all and test them out. There are significant differences between a lot of the programs. A good torrent client will get the files you need from several servers, allowing you to receive everything you need much faster.īut how do you know what is the best torrent client for your needs? Are all torrent clients the same? Sadly no. But depending on your internet speed and the host server’s power, you might be waiting hours or potentially days for it to download completely.Ī much faster way is to get your hands on the best torrent client for your downloading needs. You can try downloading them directly to your hard drive. ![]() Pete The Cat Falling For Autumn: Pete is not a fan of fall.
