stupid adorable cute murder cowboys continue to give me feelings I need to go hug my boyfriend, dang it.
also, I keep imagining it like an anime or something in my head and now I'm kinda giggling cause if it was animated, you probably wouldn't get their inner thoughts and until a while in, that means there would totally be people arguing "IT'S NOT GAY, IT'S JUST BROTHERLY! JUST DUDES BEING BROS" (unless it was explicitly advertised as MOTHERFUCKING GAY COWBOYS, HEL YE)
i would enjoy that tremendously, in fact. watching the mainstream fans get increasingly desperate to justify their hetcanons until the macking begins. i would be giddy with vindictive delight. >:D
that would be the most amusing thing "AAAAHHH THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY BE GAY, COWBOYS AREN'T GAY, THEY JUST ACT GAY CAUSE, CAUSE BROTHERLY, AND, UH, PRISON"
and all the slightly resentful kieran/ash shippers and the accusations of queerbaiting and then *angels sing* guess what it's canon! that is, if it weren't a book already. as things stand, everyone would know in pretty short order. but i can dream. :D
i dont think i need to tell you this, but if it ever comes that far, the producers might need to be bullied into staying true to the book (and not everyone mightve read it)
everyone's just WAITING for a pointless het subplot and then suddenly HAHA, THE GAY WAS CANON ALL ALONG
Consider: Gather kintsugijin and some sort of crowdfunding and make it ourselves, with canon gay all over everything. I loaned my dead tree edition of God Eaters to my dad and he really liked it. I think he´d like the Kastor Chronicles too but sadly he can only read books in dead tree atm.
guess who finally finished the book, guys????? *SCREAMS* it was really really really really good :D :D :D
so, I'm left with two thoughts one, oh no i need to write an au of a few of my ocs in this setting because oh no it fits and man, i want to see, someday in the far future of that world, students writing an essay that goes "something something history books censoring probable gay relationships" and somehow using the gay murder cowboys as an example of "these guys were super gay, but through the years it was censored because criminal behavior and god crap, sure. but gays? ew no."
It's SO GREAT that you made a thread for this because I've been sitting on this screenshot for 2 months: Blood ochre. Kieran is so pretentious. Shut up, Kieran, it's fucking red.
pffhaha I forgot about that! This makes me think I should reread and liveblog it here. Actually, all of us should do that. Simultaneously. It'll be great. Also hilarious. Well, hilarious in some places. I don't know if the book is really as profound as I'm remembering it as, but.
