hi tumblr have this sketchy of me hugging dale cause he should have a hug, i think

Hm. A small comment slightly relating to a post I saw today, even though it was really well thought out and beautifully illustrated. Absolutely no shade or hate, I would just like to share my views -

While I can see how Longlegs could be perceived or interpreted with a twinge of transphobia, especially considering its similarities to Silence of the Lambs (which, by the way, I LOVE but do see how people could interpret BB as problematic portrayal of a trans woman), I genuinely as a trans person do NOT believe that Longlegs is meant to be transphobic in any way. Here is why:

Dale Kobble/Longlegs’ androgyny is not directly related to his horror. His look is inspired by glam-rock, and androgynous looks and flashy fashion was all the rage in that subculture. Look at Marc Bolan or David Bowie - it’s all about long hair, interesting makeup, androgynous fashion, flares and boots and what have you. Dale is a huge nerd about glam-rock and I believe he models his own look after his idols - he wants to be attractive and cool and youthful like them. As to why I believe they would make him this way, I feel the whole point is that he’s washed up and weird and tries way too hard at his look, it’s almost desperate, especially considering the plastic surgery. That’s what’s disturbing about it - outdated, fake, desperate, washed-up. Dale Kobble is not a trans woman! He’s a man who thinks glam-rock is cool and wants to be pretty like Marc Bolan. Men can wear pink and makeup and have long hair and still be men. The fact that Dale is so washed up and tries so hard at his looks to a point of surgically created horror is the reason he’s creepy, not because he’s androgynous in itself.

I think it’s so important as a community to talk about and consider the way media portrays transness and androgyny, but Longlegs is just… not that. It’s a movie about generational trauma and processing trauma and abusive dynamics and satanic panic and the complexities of morality to me, amongst other things.

It’s also just a fun horror movie about a weird guy who worships Satan and sings randomly.

You know, to an extent, Dale is awful and obnoxious and insufferable… but the thing is that I love him anyways. Do I defend his awfulness? No .. do I still think he’s pookiebear?Absolutely

Something I enjoy a lot about Dale’s character is that he is so complex. It’s so obvious that he hurts so much. And Oz Perkins has confirmed this - Dale is so sad, he feels unwanted and unloved and like he’s a monster. He is probably so lonely, and it really genuinely seems to me like he has a capacity for kindness - despite the sinister nature of why he’s there, he humors Lee by letting her take his picture when he meets her for the first time, smiles at her, tries to be silly and make her laugh. He is genuinely probably trying to make that girl in the hardware store laugh, even though he comes off insanely creepy instead. He gets sooo sentimental towards Lee when he meets her again. He cries so easily. He has a gentle, artful hand. I really truly can see him being gentle and sweet and soft, given the chance.

But on the other hand… he is so nasty and awful. He joyfully taunts the investigators of his gruesome deeds. ‘Down Low, Too Slow.’ Sends obscene threatening messages in cutesty pink cards. Delights in the destruction he causes, even if it also kills him a little inside - he still gets off on it. He’s so damn proud of himself for what he does. So cocky. Scary and gross.

I love him for everything he is, he is so fun and interesting!

And also, he’s insanely attractive and pretty and sensual and ADORABLE to me. 🤭 I love u Dale you sick bastard

Hi i emerge from my tumblr flop era to say that i think Dale Kobble and Lestat de Lioncourt should be friends… is Dale significantly worse than Lestat? Yes, but they are both genderfucked blonde fashionable boydivas with a flair for the dramatic who kill people and are rockstars. Or if not be friends, at least have a rivalry or something

Realistically Lestat would probably think Dale’s a bit of a scary freak and even dislike him for all the bad shit he does, but it’s not like Lestat hasn’t seriously fucked up the life of an innocent child either 💀 idk I think he’d fw him anyways just humor me

And I do enjoy the new IWTV but I’m a veteran in this fandom so I’m specifically talking about this version of Lestat ⬇️

dale kobble is a PUNK ROCK PRINCESS 💋

dale kobble literally just needs someone to love him and i VOLUNTEER

failhusband, satanwife and autismdaughter ❤️

hey does anybody else get so sad thinking about dale that their chest hurts with emotion and anguish? no? okay

in the 20 years that he stayed in that basement it is unlikely that he had any connection or interaction other than the little he would have with ruth and small interactions with people in public when he goes on errands. no family except for the strange fucked up one he has created. he hopes satan loves him back, but he is a pawn. he wants to be pretty and desirable but people gawk and turn away no matter how many painful procedures he goes through. he spends so much time alone. all to be unloved by pretty much anyone and die in a cold interrogation room. he was so happy to see lee

i wonder if he had moments where he realized this was the path he was going down and just felt awful. i wonder if he cries about what he does and how awful he is. i wonder if he has moments of clarity that this is it, this is the end, and he will do this ‘til the end, that it’s his purpose and there cannot be anymore.

i’m not okay

i think he’d like cats … cats don’t know the entanglings of evil or place judgement, they only see a hand willing to pet
