“Clark writes that Fight Club ‘suggests homosexual themes and relationships even though the narrative does not openly admit them’ (417). Clark’s assessment is a strong beginning to the recognition of the homoeroticism of Fight Club.
The film’s queer element- and the queerness of other artifacts of popular culture- however, remains to be explored. Much is to be gained from analyses of popular culture that emphasize queer elements. A queer analysis can help deconstruct, however temporarily, traditional gender constructs and over time alter what it means to say that you are a man or to say that you are a woman.
Queer lives and queer studies have much to offer the mainstream, heterosexual majority when it comes to challenging predetermined gender identities.”

“Pippin had liked [Boromir] from the first, admiring the great man’s lordly but kindly manner.”
My contribution towards @boromir-week Day 5, for the prompts “The People’s Prince” and “Member of the Fellowship”. I just wanted to highlight some moments that show Boromir’s kindness, because I love him and his kind heart so, so much.
When I heard a noise downstairs, I put my hand under my bed for my creepy ass guy to lick, to confort me. Feeling brave and confident, I went downstairs to investigate. I saw my creepy man dead, head accidentally smacked against kitchen counter… I felt a chill go down my spine… Behind me.. A dog.
