- Queer/LGBT+ but not the traditional Very Sad Queers/bury your gays type is a plus
- No excessive gore in a visual medium
- No graphic rape plots please

- Fantasy a plus

- historical queers without the plot being ABOUT that is also a plus

- For music: Indie folk tends to be what I gravitate towards but I also like 1920s jazz, irish folk, and sea shanties

- for visual media, historical is ALWAYS welcome, especially Medieval, Renaissance, and 1880s-1960s

If you like tactics games, Triangle Strategy is fun and pretty. No outright queer content, minimal character development tbqh, but the choice-making mechanic is neat, and i ship two of the leads (Serenoa and Roland) so ymmv. I love the music, and combat is really fun

I keep eyeballing it but the combat system turns me off a bit :/

They have 4 difficulty levels, including "very easy" - and there should be a free demo on the eshop. You can try that and see? Super valid concern, though

I'll see about the demo if I can clear space on my switch lol

I still haven't watched Brokeback Mountain bc I will cry

Haha mood

Oh, if you can do visual novels, harmony: the fall of reverie is modern fantasy and has a lot of queer rep

Yzaksama: On the one hand I love Heath Ledger, on the other I just am so tired of gay 'angst' works. Please give me gay celebration!!

punnyinpink: Sometimes I can. Usually when I have breaks to play them during.

I just want happy kisses

I still need to play Stray Gods tbh

and not to be emotionally destroyed for weeks

Stray Gods wrecked me in a good way

Yeah I heard it's really good

Have you read Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley because if not a++ historical queers, also lightly fantasy/steampunk

I haven't but its on my list! Because of you lol

hahaha

i have gushed about it a lot previously, that is fair

tbh at this rate I'm going to have to start a separate amazon wishlist for books vs other stuff

OH in terms of shows though, there's a short (ten episodes?) little reality show called The Boyfriend on Netflix which is just. queer japanese guys living in a house together for a summer, working a coffee truck, and trying to find love, it was so incredibly cute.

ooh that does sound cute

Sens8 is amazing for queer joy and such a rollercoaster.

it was wholesome af, I really hope there's more than one season

If you've never read Maurice, you should!

Blackmore's Night is a great music group.

What's Maurice about?

It's about a man growing up gay in England in the early 20th century. It was written in 1915 and doesn't read that way at all, and although he has some ups and downs, it's overall upbeat and not tragic.

It's also a fairly short book. I found it a quick read.

^ also recommend!

He felt very real to me.

If I've not already recommended The Affair of the Mysterious Letter, I am remiss

It's a Lovecraftian Sherlock Holmes pastiche, extremely queer, and the audiobook is narrated by Nicholas Boulton

For jazz, if you can find any music by Luminescent Orchestri I highly recommend them, too.

(Maurice was one of the books I wrote about for my college thesis paper, it is near and dear to my heart)

Cool!

I love that he was like NO THESE MEN WILL BE HAPPY!! none of that 'oh they're gay but it's okay i can publish it because they also Suffer in the end' (which. i mean sadly meant that he did NOT live to see it published. but I appreciate that he did not want to compromise that.)

theggnator: Fucking sold

velocinapper: ltmutiny: definitely going on the list

I knew you would be, lol.
