[ Wu just sort of... freezes. His arms go stiff and he grimaces. Ah. So he does remember that. ]
It wasn't a sex mover! And that's not, that's not--
[ Oh boy, he's blushing bright red now. He doesn't want Bolin to be thinking about his and Mako's sex life at all. Nope. No. o thanks. He pulls back, grabbing his Omni from his pocket. Big band music be damned, it's Lil Nas X time. ]
It's a music video! I swear to you, it's not, not pornography!
[ Wow he can barely even say the word, but he can pull up all of Lil Nas X's music on his phone. Just. Not the videos. Well, maybe one video. He pulls up Old Town Road. It's safe. It's a banger. Bolin will like it, and there are no boys making out or giving the devil a lap dance or dancing naked in the showers. Nope. Just Lil Nas X in a cool outfit on a horse, and some guy named Billy. ]
It's a music video, Bolin! It's, it's a thing that artists do in the future, on Earth. They make movers to go with their music, and that was for Lil Nas X's song Call Me By Your Name. I just really connect with his music, and maybe it's a little raunchy, but it's because he's pushing back on the social stigma of Earth about being a guy who likes guys! That, that video I showed you was literally him reclaiming the idea that gay people are going to hell, which is the place where some people believe that bad people go when they die. So he was using his sexuality to reclaim that narrative.
[ He takes a deep breath and shoves the Omni into Bolin's hands. ]
Here! Watch this one. No sex in it at all. But this is the kind of stuff he does and I really, really like him. It was a lot like that in the Earth Kingdom too! Without the hell stuff, but you know what I mean.
[ Does he? Maybe? Well, now Old Town Road is playing, so they can pay attention to that instead. ]
