Autistic gays, come get y’all’s juice

thomas bezucha understood the core of love leagues better than most when he came up with, “i just want things to be nice for him. i know it sounds foolish. but, i just want things to be nice for him.”

This picture is like … 3 years old and I entirely forgot to post it — I really love that movie! 💖

Thinking about Pike from Big Eden and how he represents native gay and neurodivergent men in a movie that came out in 2000 and had a gaggle of yeehaw white pipe smoking suspender wearing men being the best wingmen literally ever

[ID: the "Do it for her" meme two times, it's edited and now reads "Do it for him" and shows several pictures of Eric Schweig as Pike Dexter from "Big Eden" (2000). He's a tall, Native American man with shoulder length black hair, wearing several different colored shirts. Some of the pictures also show Arye Gross as Henry Hart, the love interest of Pike. He's a shorter white man with brown, short hair. The second version features the same photos but at different positions and they now fit better into the frames. /end ID].

BIG EDEN (2000) dir. Thomas Bezucha Henry Hart, a successful New York Artist, returns to the town of his childhood to care for the ailing grandfather who raised him. Back in tiny and quaint Big Eden, Henry must come to terms with his relationship to Dean Stewart, his best friend from high School, as well as the object of his unrequited love. All these years Henry has been pining for a dream image of Dean from back then. This is also the story of Pike Dexter, the shy, unassuming owner of the town’s general store, who is as surprised as anyone to find himself falling in love with Henry. The people of Big Eden conspire and attempt to bring Henry and Pike together. (link in title)
