Idk if you’re still taking prompts but... “truth or dare” Gistal with a bit (or more lol) of Jackie x Nicky and Jaida x Jan ?? :)

yes its after 1am im not waiting til morning enjoy xo–Twelve queens, one tour, a few drinks, and a little too much downtime was a cocktail for, if nothing else, an interesting time. Adding truth or dare into the mix? Well, there was no way to predict how that would end up.

The game was Jan’s idea - something that didn’t seem to surprise anyone. The twelve queens sat in a circle and placed an empty vodka bottle in the center. “Who wants to go first?” He asked with a grin, scanning the group for a volunteer. 

“Start us off sis, this was your idea,” Heidi prompted with a laugh.

Jan cocked his head and used his pointer finger and thumb to stroke his chin. “Crystal, darling, truth or dare?”

“Hmm…” Crystal took a brief moment to decide. “Truth, let’s start off slow.”

He strummed his fingers against his knee as he thought. “Have you ever hooked up with another queen?”

“Yes.”

“Wait, wait, I have a follow up!” Brita leaned in, waving his hand into the center of the circle. “Was it a queen in this circle?” He asked, followed by a chorus of ‘ooooh’.

Crystal sat up stiffly and cleared his throat, hesitating before answering with a calm “Yes.”

“Was it–”

“Yes! It was me. Jesus, leave her alone,” Gigi let out an exasperated huff while he subtly reached out next to him to hold Crystal’s hand, his thumb gently stroking across the back of it. He looked up, smiling in response to his appreciative gaze.

He mouthed ‘thank you’ to him before facing the group again. “Now, let’s see,” he moved his finger around the circle until he stopped on Jaida. “You,” he grinned. “Truth or dare?”

Jaida was quicker with his decision. “Dare me, bitch,” he chuckled. 

Crystal ran his free hand through his hair as he thought (his other hand was resting on Gigi’s knee), until a mischievous grin settled on his lips. “You dubbed yourself as trade of the season, so, I dare you to pick who you find the most attractive and… give them a kiss.”

“Fine by me,” there was a noticeable lack of hesitation as he got up. It was blatantly apparent that he didn’t need to give the decision any thought. 

That said, Jan was taken by surprise when he suddenly had Jaida in front of him, his hands cupping his face and pulling him into a kiss. It wasn’t just a simple peck, either. It was firm and deep and he couldn’t help but melt right into it, holding onto Jaida’s shoulders and letting his lips part when his tongue slipped past. 

After a good ten or fifteen seconds, Jaida broke the kiss and moved back to his spot with a smug grin on his lips that only broadened when he noticed how everyone was staring at him. “What? We all been knew she’s cute.”

“Yeah, but we didn’t expect your whole tongue to go down his throat,” Gigi retorted.

“You’re one to talk, evidently.” 

Jan, meanwhile, needed a second to process what had just happened. It had been a little while since he’d been kissed like that, it felt like Jaida took the air from his lungs with him when he returned to his seat. His eyes were wide and blinking rapidly as his face recovered from the rush of redness that had taken over. “It’s, um, your turn to pick.”

Jaida still had his cocky smirk going. It was pretty fun to see him all flustered - he found himself hoping he’d see more of that soon. “Mhm, alright,” he finally stopped looking at Jan long enough to continue the game. “Miss Nicky Doll,” he announced dramatically, “truth or dare?” Then offhandedly added “How d’you say that in French anyway?”

Nicky poked his head out from the hoodie he’d been all but completely hidden in. “Action ou vérité. I pick action, er, truth,” he responded, pushing the hood down so his head was fully uncovered and shaking his hair out to alleviate the messiness the hood caused.

“Let’s say your husband gave you a hall pass to hookup with someone,” he started. “But, it has to be someone in this group. Who do you pick?”

Before Nicky answered, he rolled his eyes. “This ‘hall pass’ concept must be an American thing. My husband and I are rarely together these days, so we do not hold ourselves to monogamy. That said, I would pick Jackie,” he explained simply.

Jackie, who had been fading in and out of paying attention, perked right up at the answer. “Oh really?” He shifted to better face the other queen. “In that case, why don’t you come find me if you ever wanna put that non-monogamy theory into practice?”

“Well, how could I ever resist such an invitation?” Nicky chuckled softly and winked at him. 

“Jesus, y’all are so fucking horny,” Widow abruptly chimed in, causing a ripple of laughter through the group. “Why don’t all y’all pair off for a nightcap and we end this game before someone starts dry humping. And I’m looking at you two,” he said, directing his attention to Gigi and Crystal at the last part. 

And it did seem like the queens in question intended on following the suggestion as they paired off and left - Gigi with Crystal, Jaida with Jan, and Jackie with Nicky. It seemed cliche, the way the game served as a catalyst for these relationships could have come right out of a teen comedy. But it got the job done.

MotionLayout – Create Animations in your Android app

Introduction to MotionLayout

For a long time, Android developers have suffered hardships when trying to create animations in our apps. Native Android libraries didn’t make it easy to create simple animations, like the “swipe” when you delete an element from a list. This forces us to create a personalized view that will detect the user’s movement while we must use that “input” to progressively move the element accordingly and simultaneously apply the logic that, at a specific time, the element must disappear completely.

During the past years, with the incorporation of Material Design, there’ve been some changes to libraries, from CoordinatorLayout, which let’s us have a view of an easily collapsible section, to ConstraintLayout, where we can assign anchors to a view to extremes of both the screen and other elements of said view, avoiding having it grouped in blocks.

With this last input, since late 2018, the native library got updated to its 2.0 version and with that came MotionLayout, a class extending from ConstraintLayout that allows us to animate our elements inside the “layout” through a scene, a XML file, where we’ll describe the animation’s behaviour from start to finish, like a vector animation in a design program, and which events will start this animation (clicking, swiping, dropping…)

Step by Step

In many applications you might have seen the classic profile or category view, where we have a big image and an associated text that, after scrolling the screen, reduces its size to a corner with the text at its side.

Before, doing that action was very tiresome. With MotionLayout we’ll see an easy way to do that using scenes.

We start by creating the project and adding the constraintLayout library to our app.gradle archive using one of these lines:

// Support library implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:2.0.0-beta2' // or AndroidX packages implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-beta2'

In this example we’ll use the AndroidX library, but you can use that which suits you best.

After applying the library the next step will be to create the view which we want to animate. As I mentioned above, we’ll create a view anchored to a list, a header, where its elements will move based on the scroll done on the list. To that end, in our view we’ll make MotionLayout the parent group and we’ll add the associated elements.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <androidx.constraintlayout.motion.widget.MotionLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <View android:id="@+id/background" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="320dp" android:background="@color/colorPrimary" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="180dp" android:layout_height="180dp" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" tools:src="@tools:sample/avatars" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="12dp" android:textSize="24sp" android:textStyle="bold" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/imageView" tools:text="@tools:sample/full_names" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="8dp" android:textSize="18sp" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/textView" tools:text="@tools:sample/cities" /> </androidx.constraintlayout.motion.widget.MotionLayout>

For now, we have a layout applying some constraints exactly like we’d do with a ConstraintLayout, only we’re using MotionLayout, which will allow us to associate a scene to it. These constraints will work as an initial state of our view before starting the action that will execute the animation.

Now we’ll add a list; for that, I’ll use RecyclerView, which is included in the Material Design library, and we’ll add it with one of these lines:

// Support library implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0' // or AndroidX implementation 'com.google.material:material:1.1.0'

We’ll include the list into our previously created MotionLayout, and with that we’re ready to create our animation. To do that, we’ll create a scene where the root will be MotionScene, an XML file where we’ll specify our elements transition from the starting to the ending position during that gesture (in our case, the list scroll).

<MotionScene xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <Transition app:constraintSetEnd="@id/end" app:constraintSetStart="@id/start" app:duration="1000"> <OnSwipe app:dragDirection="dragUp" app:touchAnchorId="@id/recyclerView" app:touchAnchorSide="top" /> </Transition> </MotionScene>

The constraintSetStart and constraintSetEnd attributes are a reference to the initial and final states that we want for our animation.

The OnSwipe tag will allow us assign that the transition will be executed with this type of gesture. The dragDirection attribute will indicate the swipe direction, and the touchAnchorId and touchAnchorSide attributes reference the list where we’ll apply the scroll and from which area the gesture begins, in our case top.

We’ll also have to create a set of constraints for our animation’s initial and final states, where each constraint will reference our element’s id in the layout.

<ConstraintSet android:id="@+id/start"> <Constraint android:id="@+id/background"> <PropertySet android:alpha="1" /> </Constraint> </ConstraintSet> <ConstraintSet android:id="@+id/end"> <Constraint android:id="@+id/background" android:layout_height="80dp" android:alpha="0" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> <Constraint android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="64dp" android:layout_height="64dp" android:layout_marginStart="8dp" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/background" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> ... </ConstraintSet>

On each set, we’ll need to identify which element we want to modify through the Constraint tag and assign the desired attribute to it, for example our imageView, which in its final state should reduce its size, plus it no longer has the layout_constraintEnd_ToEndOf attribute so it sticks to the left end of the screen.

We can also modify visibility states using the PropertySet tag inside the Constraint tag, where we can assign the alpha attribute to our header’s background.

And done! With MotionLayout we can create a list with its collapsed header in a en efficient manner and animating its elements.
