But I’m A Cheerleader - Blog Posts

Just discovered the list feature on letterboxed

There is a criminally low amount of fics for "but im a cheerleader" it's literally the perfect movie for Lqbtq ships, you would think fandoms would crawl to it

It's criminal that this song isn't on spotify :(

Retirement homeeeee

LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL

i just saw someone talking about this and is all I can think about now! would you make a fanart of mistynat as megan and graham from but im a cheerleader? tyy!

Hello anon!! Thank you for this request :D It inspired me a lot, I had so much fun with it and kinda got carried away with drawing a lot lol,, I hope you enjoy!

Does this count as expanding the Mistyverse? In my head it does

(Also for those who don't know,, I have my Yellowjackets drawing requests open! You can find specifics about requests in my intro post)

I feel like “But, I’m a Cheerleader” was created just to be made into edits to Chappell Roan songs

(Not that I’m complaining)

but........... I'm a cheerleader....

BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER (1999) dir. JAMIE BABBIT

all sapphics should watch “But I’m a cheerleader” cause it’s a fucking masterpiece (and  Clea DuVall is in it)

I watched But I’m a Cheerleader and I couldn’t stop staring at Graham I’m being so serious it’s a problem atp

First post yippie

An underrated aspect of But I'm A Cheerleader is that the butch, hairy, gnc woman is the only character who has a Conversion Camp revelation that she is, in fact, NOT gay. People just see the way she looks and put her in that box, so she simply feels like she HAS to occupy it. (This is exemplified by Rupauls immediate next insistence that she IS gay, and "who is she fooling?" Which comes off as very ironic from someone trying to con these kids into becoming straight.)

Much of the "conversion" in this film is just reintroducing strict gender roles, which does happen in conversion situations but this is obviously a very campy, over the top example. Of course the POINT is to show that the fact youre gay has nothing to do with your adherence to gender roles (both Dolph and Megan ARE picture-perfect images of the Man and Woman- even if they are gaslit into thinking they arent. Yet they are still gay!). But I think its oddly nice, in an older movie too, to see it put so plainly that the opposite is also true.

Your lack of adherence to strict gender roles doesn't determine your sexuality- but you'll be lumped in all the same and punished anyway, because that's how heteronormativity works. And that was always the purpose of gender roles to begin with- to keep people in line.

Some Cyrusk (+ a surprise and a confession 👀)

1. CYRUSK IN THAT ONE DRESS RAGAHHAHAHAHA 👹!! This is an extra detailed one. I suck at shading 😭. This one is free to draw in your style (as well as any other of my artworks), as long as you credit me, don't trace and don't feed it to AI (I will feed you to the vicious man-eating wolves with rabies if you feed any of my art to AI. Seriously, when I see you, it is ON SIGHT). You can trace my art as long as you don't post it anywhere. Only trace my art for learning purposes.

2. But I'm a Cheerleader. I've never seen this movie before 😭. I first saw the original poster for the movie when I saw a promotion thingy for the YouTuber Evasive's (I watch some of their videos, one of their videos gave me the unfortunate introduction to Sia's autism movie 😭😭😭) movie night thingy. This was the movie they were watching and I got inspired 😭. My handwriting sucks so it says "But I'm a Hitman". From what fanart I've seen of the original movie, there's lesbians and I'm a lesbian (actually I'm bi but I prefer women).

Here's the confession now... I'M SO DOWN BAD FOR MAJELL!! The most beautiful woman in Aleph Null istg. Like bark bark or whatever

Here's the surprise now: I made another webcomic... Let me explain!!

This time, the webcomic is actually in the Aleph Null universe (very close to it). It's about my lil self-insert OC that's Cyrusk Belgor's moirail. Cyrusk basically leaves for the job of the main plot I guess 😭. Obviously without telling my lil shit OC cause she's a heavy sleeper and stuff. So she spends the whole webcomic trying to find Cyrusk while participating in a national poker championship thingy. Cybele is gonna be in it kinda as a minor supporting role that'll only be there for a few moments. Cyrusk will be there in flashbacks and at the very end. And Sauron's gonna have a cameo at the very end and Helstm will probably be mentioned. Falmea will be mentioned as well cause she's the main character's ex-kismesis (they forgot about each other. The OC X Canon lore is getting juicy.). The rest of the characters are my characters. Also we got purple evil Cyrusk girl as a shitty manipulative placeholder moirail yay. It only has 11 pages so far and it's labeled as shitpost but it'll get good I promise!! Also it isn't canon to the canon of Aleph Null. Here it is:

Ultimate Stoopid Speedrun (NOT CLICKBAIT)

My moirail is missing, what da fuk (he's actually not missing)

Another confession: HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND CYRUSK'S CHARACTER AT ALL (prolly cause he's not my character). I have a deathly fear of mischaracterizing that guy or any character I don't understand (accidentally) 😭. I should understand his character but I really don't 😭😭😭... I just need help with dialogue and mannerisms for me tho.

Anyways, sorry for the long post 😭 Well earned and deserved credit for Cyrusk's existence goes to @clockworkreapers (seriously, how do I write Cyrusk correctly 😭😭😭 It's like asking a substitute teacher for help)
