i know there’s more than this out there but it really is incredible that people will look at a fictional character someone else wrote and collectively say “I will write you a hundred happy endings.”

‘Manuel’ - Rodrigo (Rodrigo Muñoz Ballester)

‘Manuel’ was showed in the 1983 edition of ARCO, Madrid’s contemporary art fair. It was deemed “the first gay sculpture at the fair” and caused some commotion in Spain’s cultural scene. The artist, Rodrigo, made this sculpture based on a man he met and fell in love with at a public pool in 1976.

(Won't You) Fall For Me - Chapter 2

Rating: T Status: Complete The Sandman season 2 spoilers under the cut

Hob's thoughts were racing while his running feet carried him through London.

A shooting star. How did one follow its descent and pinpoint its probable point of impact without astronomic equipment? Hob cursed himself for not having taken a more than casual interest in astronomy so far. He was lacking knowledge in a crucial moment like this and it sucked.

“You’re a sorry excuse for an immortal, Hob Gadling,” he growled at himself as he ran along the quiet streets.

Okay, so first things first. He’d head home and grab his car, then he’d go to the observatory in-

He lost his train of thought because he didn’t really know where a working observatory was. He’d have to look it up before he set out-

No. Sod it. This was taking too much time. He’d just head in the direction he’d seen the star fall, which was, surprisingly, exactly the way he was going right now.

Why was he so sure he’d find anything, anyway? Most meteors burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere and never made it to the ground, right? That’s something he had read or heard somewhere. What if-

No, he couldn’t start thinking like that, he couldn’t get his hopes up that this star was actually his friend, and then despair that he would burn up in the atmosphere. That was insane. But then, Hob was immortal, and his friend wasn’t human, so why would he not be able to fall from the sky and live?

Because he’s already dead, his traitorous mind reasoned, and you’re wishing on a shooting star, which has never worked before, you’ve tried, remember? “Oh shut it,” he murmured and rounded the corner of his street.

There was a light in his window.

Hob slowed to a halt, his blood rushing in his ears, his heart beating overtime from the run. He heaved and stared up at the pale white glow. Had he left a light on? No, he’d dressed and gone out without turning anything on, he was sure. The light had a different quality than Hob’s daylight lamps, too, colder and more like…

Starlight.

if things have felt a little light (as if anyone but me Really notices when i'm light) it is because it's pretty damn hard to focus on and enjoy making porn when there's the looming threat of payment processors hanging over my head. if you're on bluesky, you've probably seen a lot of talk about visa and mastercard being pressured, and that's GOOD! it's good that they're being pressured.

but it can't just be them! paypal and stripe are just as guilty of censoring sellers, and i haven't seen nearly as much energy put toward them. unfortunately, artists are at higher risk of retaliation if they call in themselves, but YOU, as customers, can make a huge difference putting pressure on them for us! please consider making a call today, tomorrow, and however long it takes until something changes! i want to live in a world where i can post atra menta's nipples and just not worry about it!

Just to add that when Hob woke up after the Wake, he was crying.

Paid Medical Gaslighting Survey!

Hey y'all! If you...

Are over the age of 18

Currently live in the U.S.

Have 10 minutes and want a $10 gift card

...then please consider taking my survey! For my PhD dissertation, I'm looking at how people WITH vs people WITHOUT chronic illnesses (such as POTS, endometriosis, fibromyalgia) are treated by healthcare providers. With this work, I hope to create a measurable scale for medical gaslighting so that it can be recognized and addressed.

If you're over 18 and live in the U.S., you most likely qualify whether you have a chronic illness or not! This is an IRB-approved study, so all info can be found by clicking the link below. Reblogs also help! Thank you!
