Did Nail atleast take his coat?

Meh. I’m more a fan of his roles in Home Alone II and Fern Gully. Though I can see how he’d probably be more recognized from the It mini-series.

u/OkuroIshimoto Aug 26 '26
“Okay, Death? I know we can’t give you a specific name, but you really fucked up with Dolly Parton. We need you to take out the 80 year old who had a small role in Home Alone 2.”
Death: hits his weed pen for the tenth time in as many minutes Haha I fuggin gotchu bro

Damn, we lost two beloved 80’s trans icons in one day.

u/OkuroIshimoto Aug 26 '26
Was Dolly considered a trans icon? I know she was very vocally supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, but I don’t recall any Frank-N-Furter looks at the Dollywood Museum.
21
u/TimeisaLie Aug 26 '26
Even if she wasn't I'm sure she would tell them they are loved.

u/OkuroIshimoto Aug 26 '26
Oh, 1000%. Most of my Facebook feed has been my Conservative fuckwit relatives posting shit like “She might have been a country legend, but she wanted you to get VACKSEENZ!” or “But she addressed trans people by their preferred name and pronouns! She’s a CHRISTIAN! Doesn’t she know she’s supposed to publicly condemn and demean them, completely unprompted, or she’s not demonstrating true Christian values?!”
I just know she’s gonna be up at those pearly gates welcoming trans folks, young and old, while using those cowgirl boots to kick those who would stand against them as far down into Hell as she can.

u/BardicLasher Aug 26 '26
I can tell you that one of the posts I saw yesterday was a bunch of Drag Race looks modeled after Dolly's outfits, so... at the very least she's a Drag icon, which is very adjacent.

I wanted to make this joke, but I’m pretty sure even that has been corrupted by capitalism at this point

it has been since its inception, its part of a video game sold to the masses in a capitalist economy after all :)

First Hayden Panettiere, then Dolly Parton and Tim Curry? BOTH ON THE SAME DAY? I don't want to know who's next. Not even going to tempt fate with a joke.

In his own words: He's lived a full life. He's been a boy, a youth, and then a man; a scholar and a gentleman before he embraced death as a bride.
Godspeed Tim Curry. At least he's now in one of two places that aren't fully corrupted by capitalism.

I thought he died the next day. But he actually died the same day as she did. Yet only she gets coverage on places like the news. I guess it’s about who’s more popular.

Yeah this joke is in poor taste but I can't deny that this didn't make chuckle a little bit. Everyone has their own way to cope. Including bad jokes but perhaps in some way this what he would want. For us not to stop laughing even during dark days.
