Ruby Rhod is one of my favorite characters in sci-fi ever because he is Luc Besson’s vision of the hetero sex symbol of the future: a flamboyant, emotionally labile man who wears skin-tight leopard print or decks himself in roses, a man who accessorizes with big jewelry and dabbles in cosmetics. And the ladies love him. Everything about him screams “gay” according to our stereotypes, but he’s portrayed as a 100% straight sexual dynamo.
Besson is one of the few directors I’ve seen who actually recognizes that our ideas of sexuality and gender performance might have changed drastically in the future

Set phasers to “sexy”
A new piece for The Washington Post about Star Trek and the world of fanfiction. You can read the article here.
I was raised on The Next Generation, as well as pretty much every other science fiction show that aired between 1990 and the early 2000’s. I also loved ToS but it came on a bit less frequently. SciFi is one of the things my dad and I bond over and an interest we share, so it was kind of an integral part of my childhood.
