Stop Using Effeminacy As Visual Shorthand For Decadence And Moral Decay 2025

Want to write a story about some perfumed eunuch who's actually really clever and solves crimes or something.

Listen, all of you people mentioning Hercule Poirot or Sherlock or the guy from London Spy: let me introduce you to what I'm calling "the Caracalla Threshold" after the depiction of the Roman Emperor Caracalla in the film Gladiator 2:

If he's not at least THIS effeminate, I don't want to hear about it.

This feels like a parallel to the post about how female protagonists are too masculine and we need more feminine women protagonists "to show girls that it's okay to be feminine"... and then the examples of "masculine women protagonists" were Black Widow, Rey, and Captain Marvel.

Why. Why are we doing this. Why is the bar for "gender nonconformity" on the floor.

Hercule Poirot is not an effeminate man. He is a conventionally masculine, gender-conforming man who is snobbish. Black Widow is not a masculine woman. She is a conventionally feminine, gender-conforming woman who fights. Stop this. Stop this. Stop this. Meet some actual feminine men and some actual masculine women and reset your baseline.

Commentary by my partner: "An interesting parallel here is 'a woman is masculine if she has a skill I associate with men' vs. 'a man is feminine if he has a negative personality trait I associate with women.'"

it is hilarious to me that cishet men have yet to notice the ‘best friend cockblocking her friend you’re chatting up in a public place’ thing is planned, consensual on the part of the girl you’re uncomfortably hitting on and not a result of the bestie being jealous her friend is getting more male attention. they’re completely oblivious to the hostage eyes and silent nod to someone in the background because they’re too busy telling that poor girl about what a bitch their ex was.

Elrond wore a mantle of grey and had a star upon his forehead, and a silver harp was in his hand, and upon his finger was a ring of gold with a great blue stone, Vilya, mightiest of the Three. — The Return of the King

I REALLY wanted this image from the book, but they decided not to do it in the film :(

Little girls cannot die. Elwing leaps off the cliff barely a hundredth of Arwen's count of years. For this is the first loss. The one all the others must be measured by. It's not allowed, thinks Elrond. You're not allowed. Little girls cannot die, not even if they're little-mothers, not even in this world of interminable strife.
The game is over. Elwing calls him home.
But Elrond hears nothing at all. The sea thunders its soothing song into his ears, and he hears nothing at all. He's on the beach, and the world is on fire. Elrond stands alone on the beach, and his little-mother is gone. Tears run hot on his cheeks, though from then or now he can never be sure. Elwing is calling out for him, laughing, and he cannot hear her laughter. She’s calling him home. She’s turning to sea-foam before his eyes, calling his name over and over and over. But Elrond cannot save her, because he cannot hear her. The sea roars in his ears. The sea roars in his ears as his little-mother turns into foam, and he cannot hear her at all.

Yet another edition of Elrond ‘has cause to have a Very Normal relationship with the sea even by the measure of the Eldar’ Peredhel. Quote from The Cradlesinger in which Maglor turns up in Imladris, pet monkey in tow — apologies, all my non-commission paintings atm are just me illustrating my own fics (or those of others) for shits and giggles.
