Old Man Daniel being a survivor of the AIDS epidemic means so much to me.

Like

Here is this grumpy old man who is dismissive of his queer experiences. It was a place to get high. Fulfilling the social contract. An excuse, that's all. He's into counter cultures after all.

But Louis and Armand changed his life forever.

Should Devil's Minion have happened in the past, that crosses into the AIDS epidemic. San Francisco, the beating heart of the gay community in America in the 70s, a ghost town in the 80s. That's where we run into Daniel. He would get into a relationship that meant death for so many. Running away from the monster that he loves that could symbolize his own sexuality. Finally embracing it when he realizes the monster is what he finds fascinating. The fear is what makes it worth it. The only relationship he dedicated himself to a man, the one that would have convinced him he loved men too. That it wasn't just for the high.

In the books, Daniel didn't make it. He was sick, and dying. Could he have died of AIDS? In the arms of his male lover? It's open to interpretation. He was turned, stuck forever in his early 30s and a ghost of his former self.

But Old Man Daniel? Who wrote a book called The Shadow on The Skin about the crisis because those were his people. The people he knew, even if now he could pretend he was never a part of it. He can claim he was just an observer.

But if vampirism is a metaphor for queerness... if Devil's Minion did happen... this is an queer elder. One who survived because they were shoved in the closet by the one who loved them. Because they loved them alive more than dead. Because some of the people who made it did so because they were there for support, because the fear was too much.

Rolin Jones you have the opportunity of a lifetime.

was gonna save this for pride month (i was probs an editor in my past life)

is it casual now?

when gerard way sings "the broken, the beaten, and the damned" and when kermit the frog sings "the lovers, the dreamers, and me" they're talking about the same people btw

Ren is my favorite content creator. He's gorgeous, he's a geek, he's a theater kid, his world building is amazing, he's adored by lesbians, he accidentally doxed himself on stream once, he "yes and"ed himself into a queer situationship with someone he barely knew at the time (Martyn), he's a furry, he's a king, he's a pirate captain, he's a wet dog and a boyfailer, he's got the undying loyalty of a married man with two daughters (Martyn), he's a freak, he's the coolest person we know, there is NOBODY doing it like this man
