Luke at Milan Fashion Week 17 June 2023

[purgaytorysupremacy]

I was in my feels a while back about my summer camp friendship that was a gay thing but you don’t know that at 14 so I wrote this paragraph for my wip and I haven’t been able to write anything since. at this point I might need to take it out just so I can continue without psychic damage every time I open the damn document and anyway here it is for posterity I guess

to say that jordan has been looking at his lover with only the purest intentions would be an outright lie. sasha had emerged from the bathroom, skin damp and littered with ink and fading marks from his own mouth and nails, only a pair of sweatpants on, and jordan's only human. his gaze has been trailing over sasha's body with absolutely no amount of subtlety — at this point he doesn't need to dance around the subject, not with the way his hands and lips always wander somewhere indecent.

even though only hours ago he had sasha on top of him, panting into his neck ... and then he was on top, pulling on that soft dark hair he loves so much, whispering filth in his ear until he was shaking. it should have been more than enough to keep them both satisfied, and yet ...

what can he say ?? he's addicted to all the pretty noises sasha can make under his attention, never mind the even prettier way his skin flushes when jordan gets his hands on him.

his tongue presses against the inside of his cheek as sasha speaks, and he tilts his head, a lazy half smile growing as he, yet again, looks him over. sasha has such a lovely slender neck, marred with hickeys and the indent of his teeth, never mind his broad shoulders and those ridiculously toned arms that cause jordan so much distress. he hums, eyes dipping all the way down to his exposed hip bones and the prize temporarily hidden from him.

"is that so, baby ??" he murmurs, voice slipping into a soft, almost mocking tone. "earlier wasn't enough for you, hm ?? need me to fuck you again to get the point across ??" he sounds amused even as his fingertips walk the length of their chest, eyebrows raising as he meets their gaze. "no reason for a whore like you to announce that if you're not looking to get something out of it."

black nails drag down sasha's stomach, and, despite the gentle ridicule layered over his words, he drops to his knees, teeth digging into his bottom lip and eyes never leaving his boyfriend's.

"guess i better take care of my needy baby, huh ?? won't stop til i fuck you dumb anyway."

nothing is ever enough for either of them, but jordan doesn't mind.

Speaking of that RENT show with Jeff Blim…

Jeff revealed they still owe him $1,000 for the job. It's nuts. It's crazy. Watch starting on 1:37:03 mark below.

A while ago, I posted on my main blog about another artist not getting paid fairly, but that was by a big corporate company. It reminded me that Jeff wasn’t paid for his role as Roger for a small independent theater company. Big or small, companies should pay their workers (contractual or not) fairly.

The company behind the RENT show — I may have their name wrong, tho — is called Cupcake Theater. I don’t know if Jeff will ever work for them again, but it's not like he was happy to mention that he hasn't been paid yet. That said, he did share that he was happy to perform in the musical after the whole COVID pandemic, and that in some way, it was kind of like payment.

Also, let me remind you that Jeff and Jon Matteson raised a lot of money on Twitch to continue the RENT show, so it’s wild that the company still hasn’t paid the artist who helped them keep it going. And honestly, a lot of people probably watched the show because of Jeff. The most viewed videos on LA TheatreSource’s YouTube channel features, you gueeeessseddd it!!!"

Also, they used videos of Jeff for marketing on IG. They knew he has a bigger fanbase than the others, so it’s verrrry contradictory that they didn’t pay him — especially since that kinda goes against the show’s message. Maybe. Kinda. I’ve only read the summary and watched bits of RENT, so yeah.

Jeff wasn’t mad or anything, maybe just disappointed, but it would be nice to hear that he finally got paid, even if it’s a delayed payment from back in 2022 or whenever. IDK. Like, what the fuck? Don’t scam your artists.

Anyway, I hope this doesn’t blow up into something negative (did not expect this to get so long either), because Jeff was pretty chill about it, despite still being owed $1,000. But maybe him being so nonchalant about it is part of the reason why he still hasn’t been paid. Or maybe he got tired of following them up about it and gave up and swore not to work with them again, and hopefully told other artists. But unfortunately Cupcake Theater is still pretty active.

Also yeah if anyone from Cupcake Studios is reading this, please pay Jeff or else (lol jk but srsly tho what the fuck. He said he hasn't been paid yet. What's your side of the story?)

Jeff Blim, you beautiful, stupid, scammed artist. You need that $1,000 for your coffee fund. It’s the only thing that makes you happy during your livestreams.

Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

[serenity-song]

I find I’m discovering most of my new music through social media these days (granted I exclusively listen to Spotify and not the radio soooo)

He posted a cover of Hands Down on IG that has me convinced it’s the perfect first dance song. If that’s ever a thing I get to do.

(Anyway, here’s wonderwall.)

[fantasticalleigh]

Not my best but I made this while listening to Mumford and Son’s If I Say on repeat and a lot of feelings came out. 

[mentallydatingahotcelebrity]

“You forgot about me!”

No!”

“Yes, you did! You left me alone, stopped caring about what we were!”

“No! No—I thought of you every day! Until I realized what is and what I thought are two different things; and you – as you had been – were never coming back to me. Only then did I let go. But I didn’t—I didn’t forget.”

[lampregistration3000]

not to be like this but like. the concept of people looking at d/a and d/pp/o and trying to psychoanalyze them kind of skeeves me out tbh? like. i know this is literally just bc i have the damn mental illness but if someone did that to me and Ell i think id... feel so grimy itd kill me

thoughts on cameron :)

i’d rather not have them

[jas-michaud]

for the most part, she is extremely happy about tonight. all of her ideas had been implemented and it was actually rare that the ppc agreed on things so easily. or maybe they were all placating her because her boyfriend was stabbed and now he was graduating but whatever, she’ll take the pity! she still has tonight, a lot of nights, with him, and she has cori’s birthday surprise to look forward to and this could easily be the first and last dance/party/gallagher event she attends with louis so it’s going to be amazing, anything else is unthinkable. jas isn’t much of a gambler and she’s more interested in dancing but she’s definitely not against the theme.

she’s only used one of her drink tickets so far but she’s more giddy than drunk when she throws her arms around louis’s neck and half falls into him, leaning all of her weight against him for a moment. “i don’t know how to play anything. and i can’t find rei!” though jas doesn’t want to know how to count cards (and numbers are not her thing) she knows rei must at least know what she’s doing at a poker table. “do you know how to play blackjack? texas holdem? roulet--actually, everyone knows how to play that.” jas runs her hands down louis’s arms until she’s holding his hands and then grins. “oh! you can eat like 75% of the things here.” she wishes she’d had more allergies in mind during earlier parties but she knows he’d insist it wasn’t worth the trouble, when he couldn’t be more wrong. “are you hungry?” / @redgrve​

For the “whether they’d get along meme” Phoenix and Wrench!!

give me 2 of my f/os and ill tell u if they’d get along or not

   Oh. My gosh... This is a chaotic duo and they only really get along because Phoenix’s life is already such a gosh danged mess, what’s an anarchist to the mix?

   ^^ Phoenix’s new life motto since he first became a lawyer.

   Anyways, Wrench when he’s chill...they get along really well. They both like supporting Maya and playing with Pearl, going out to eat with the crew... A bunch of “found family” level get-togethers really bring these two together and it’s a LOT of fun for everyone! Maya and Pearl especially like marveling at all of Wrench’s tattoos and he controls his language and such around them.

   So Phoenix KNOWS Wrench is a good guy at heart....but then his chaotic nature strikes again.

   The issues rise when Wrench is doing B&Es, caught with weapons (he’s DedSec’s demo guy, what else would you expect from him?), probably did some murder (and there’s a frantic sort of way the crime scenes are where Phoenix is sweating reading the report cause, uh....that was very likely Wrench that did this, especially considering the missing, important documents), and who knows what else. Downloading illegal, free movies for movie night, probably.

   Basically, Wrench breaking the law all the time has Phoenix- the LAWYER- sweating all over, despite the fact he’s still fun to hang out with.

   It’s....conflicting.

Last but not least: PJO hot takes part IV!

Alright my dudes. I think we’re still in this game for one final round. Anyway here’s wonderwall. And Part 1//Part 2//Part 3!

Percy had actually knowledge about the Greek myths. He didn’t waddle in blindly. Where did y’all even get that?

The new possible Irish myth saga will be PJO 3.0 aka Magnus Chase 2.0 aka The Kane Chronicles 1.2.

Riordan already got the names of gods of that possible saga wrong

Riordan‘s Asian characters only know bitch or bland mode, huh

Stop babying Annabeth for fucks sake. Seriously

How the fuck did Sally afford several private schools for Percy when they were poor as fuck? I guess Gabe had to have a some somewhat decent job but then again playing poker/being a gambler and stealing from your stepson ain’t a cute move

Hazel should’ve been Thanatos‘ kid. To break the classic 12 Olympian mold (yeah Hades/Pluto technically isn’t one but he’s still team major gods) and also to throw the damned Hitler/Pluto aesthetics away

Did any of the kids break their limps or get permanently disabled at some point? Or do they just... die (and mostly stay dead)? I forgot

Where can the kids at Camp Half-Blood actually sneak off to fuck? Percy is legit the only one to claim his own shit as his love bunker. The rest is just fucked I guess or has first hand traumatic pre-college experiences

”Percy cursed“. Literally why, Riordan. Let the kid say fuck. He has earned the rights to do so a long time ago

Did I mention that people lack of basic reading skills in earlier takes? Anyway. Here’s another reminder!

Tbh the gods are egotistical fucks and have killed people for the fuck of it. I don’t see Poseidon being even close to okay with Sally marrying Gabe or Paul

I still don’t understand why Frazel is a thing

Most of you don’t understand how movie production works but that’s okay. Just know that everything inside your head will never be realized and there will be drastic cuts and additions to the books (again)

The electronics not working thing doesn’t even make any goddamn sense? Hermes is the god of the Internet. Does this mean that demigods can use the web just fine but simply can’t call each other? This really came back to bite Riordan in the ass now did it? Wouldn’t it make more sense to use old means of communication once you’re trying to reach more important/godly people or electronics fail in an accute situation?

Turning everyone heteroflexible creates the image that you’re simply liking a character for the fact that they are LGBTQ and not the character itself, just saying. More representation sure, but that itself isn’t a personality trait and shouldn’t be the main focus of a character unless it’s really defining in the story line (Nico‘s arc partially for example)

Tbh, HOO should’ve been aged up mentor Percabeth protecting CHB, with the rest of the gang fucking up Greece with aged Reyna + Nico perhaps. I might post an outline on that AU someday (someone should remind me about that tho)

On one hand you have in depth discussions and people diving into the matter and talking about every nook and cranny and on the other hand people are more then just fine with stereotyping and deflecting. Whut. Okay

Why are people shipping the lie that is Jasper/Jasiper

Stop romanticizing the gods

Dark!Percy is just a cheap way for you to turn Percy into an overpowered asshole and that’s that tea

Being in a relationship isn’t a personality trait, my dear shippers

Riordan‘s timeline is off because the coke rush didn’t last that long

The wasted potential of everything past PJO makes me want to cry

Percy’s fatal flaw isn’t stupid, Riordan just didn’t flesh it out properly which is why there were no real repercussions. A fatal flaw is supposed to be hindering you and not a compliment

The fact that adult people still can’t take jokes about their favorite characters is fucking insane part II

Why the fuck did the Stolls get tossed aside? Bruh. The potential? The stigma as a Hermes kid? They trying to redeem their cabins honor? Imagine one of them as a prophecy kid in HOO (and they’d switch and swap to confuse everyone)? Yes??

Every single one of you that essentially is team poc!Percy because he had a rough upbringing deserves to get slapped. Poverty, abuse, a single parent, etc. doesn’t equate to being poc?!?!? Smells racist just saying

Turning Hazel into Nico‘s sister was cheap af

Stop romanticizing and down playing the myth aspect. Tragedy is essential and will haunt demigods. Thank you, next

Also stop babying Percy

Let’s be honest none of those fuckers make it to college

Annabeth Chase is fucking WHITE part II. She’s not biracial, she’s not ”exotic“, she’s certainly not fucking black. She’s white with a little hint of a tan. That still makes her white. Do you really want to turn her into Ariana Grande 2.0? A fucking botched orange? This is your Annabeth aesthetic? Artists get it fucking right unless you state that you portray her as [spraytan headcanon] which is still fucking cheap let’s be real. Orange Annabeth isn’t part of the kulture

Regardless of the reception of the PJO movies, I’ll never forgive you people for letting Logan Lerman aka the OG white boy™ flop. Throw Tom “lipless but okay booty“ Holland and Timothée ”I missed a few meals“ Chalamet the fuck away!

Tbh a less romanticized version of the camps would’ve been more interesting. I’m still put off by CJ (and also the fact that CHB is a summer camp), but had there been more fights and actual deaths that had happened around the camps due to training, etc. you would’ve understood immediately why demigods dipped before the age of 18. The antithetical nature of sweet summer camp and people dying left and right would’ve been amplified

Did Reyna at some point in time even have the time to breath with all of the shit that went down? Her life is simply 24/7 stressful. I get that she wanted to bounce and no longer be in a tiring and demanding position but the hunters ain’t it sis

It’s okay to admit that fanon artwork or fanfics don’t deserve the webspace they are wasting. But phrase that probably in a nicer way

PJO Calypso wasn’t annoying. HOO & TOA Calypso on the other hand...

Alex Pettyfer would’ve been a better Luke Castellan but Jake Abel did an okay job

Percy isn’t an idiot. You are one for believing so

Riordan corrected the stance that Muslims don’t shower during Ramadan (literally how in the fuck did he come up with that in the first place?!) in upcoming MC books. Can he use the same energy to rewrite HOO tho??

Luke’s portrayals in SoM and TTC were straight up trash

Historically accurate PJO would’ve been everything

Monsters can detect demigods by smell. Camo wouldn’t do jack shit ffs

Jason is still bland and making jokes/pointing that out is more than okay

Omfg accept the fact that characters can have multiple facets all good and bad. Reducing them to one specific trait makes them boring and bland. Also it stereotypes

Getting mad over the fact that Clarisse has a boyfriend is still fucking insane

Not everyone needs to be a fanfic writer or an artist, a theorist or someone that analyzes everything phrase by phrase. As long as you’re in the fandom to enjoy works & discussions and remain on the saner side of the spectrum you’re good. You’re valid. Don’t forget that.

Not wanting to stay in a fandom and merely enjoying some of the fruits/benefits as in art/fics/headcanons is also super valid

PJO Reddit, Tumblr, IG and Twitter are a cesspool of chaotic mess and straight up trash but Tumblr > Reddit >>>>>> IG >>>>>> Twitter

Tbh: just try to enjoy a decent book series. It’s all not that deep

[tonyglowheart]

Trying to semi-organize my thoughts on what exactly I am wanting out of spn fic and hm let's see. If I remember this post in the future, I may update it as I think of/on things and use this for reference so I, also, don't forget lol

Okay so, wants/likes:

Cas prominent. He is my, as I believe the kpop kids say, bias, so he is kind of non-negotiable. Sorry I am just not interested in fics where he is not prominent

Destiel not required but a good plus. Slight preference for intricate courtship rituals over ones where they figure things out ridiculously easy, unless it is established relationship. If the revelation comes too quick and easy then I get taken out of the moment :')

Optional: Angels treating Cas like their baby brother :3 Cas can be somewhat put out by it or not. Actually maybe bonus if he IS, bc they are all angels of the lord and relative by rank and experience, And Yet [whoever] just cannot help but be *points* Baby

canonverse is plus. canon divergence is okay but idk how close to canon I'm looking for, if it's too close to an episode rewrite I may not be into that either

casefics are cool. If it's got that canon-typical vaguely racist sht then pls warn me going in 😔

Found family. Family don't end in blood!!! Spn may forget this but I never will!!!

Any exploration of the whole fucky destiel thematic dichotomies, the whole free will vs destiny shit, stuff like words of prophets are written on subway walls, like.. idk, something that is intricate-rituals-gay and also makes me think of the philosophy of thehuman condition

corollary: slow burns ig?? or like mutual pining? canon typical thinking they are not worthy or that it is something they cannot have? canon typical did not realize until later but even then they have their individual canon-typical reasons for not acting on it, until they do bc it's fic so they can get together for realsies?

trope: Cas and/or Destiel being parents. I read one recently where it was like single dad Cas (to Claire and Jack) and then Dean came (back) into his life recently and I rly liked it

AUs are fine but highly subject to mood so we'll see. I did read a Star Trek-y AU I liked

I'm down for a lot of various other kinds of plot tropes and stuff, tho I want stuff that's more character and plot and less, like, pwp or fuck or die or that kinda thing

trope: curses maybe? I've found a couple curse-focused fics which were interesting

trope: Hurt/Comfort of the Cas whump kind but not necessarily have to be just Cas. But like.. u know when Uriel is beating him up and he looks all bloody and beautiful, or when he flexes his sexy angel powers and transports the Winchesters to the past but then collapses bc he overtaxed himself, or when he had that blanket on when he was suffering from the attack dog spell.... yeah,,,

trope: Anything with like the Winchesters caring about and caring for Cas. I just rly like Cas being taken care of :') pls wrap him in a blanket and pat his shoulder brusque-softly in ur emotionally repressed way Dean

bottom line my emphasis tends to be more on character and plot. I can't do plot without character, the relationships - whether ship or gen - are important to my enjoyment of a fic. I can sit thru a lot if the characters/character dynamics are good and chewy lmao like u can rly sink ur teeth into it

Bonus features:

eldritch horror angels are a bonus. Give me unfathomable trueform angels, I feel like I don't see that enough

wings* but.... caveat I like my spn wings more metaphysical than literal unless they're literal for a point, but this isn't set in stone either. I'm just... slightly tired of the physicality of the wings I guess. Like it's not the physicality that's the issue, ig, but when it's not treated as metaphysical (as well)

wouldn't mind some good endverse fics to chew on altho that might also make me sad

Cas being cute, a la crazy!Cas (who is.... so soft.... his innocence.. *clutches chest*) or like when Cas and Dean went to talk to that police guy and Cas was like you tell them it's angels and demons warring and he will tell you what he knows, or when Cas was like I'm gonna become a hunter :3, or interrogating the cat, or this is his serious face, yes

Powerful af Cas?? I miss season 4/5 Cas, when he was powerful and self-assured and wasn't "mentally deficient puppy" as Metatron meanly put it Cas. I feel like we get less of that as the seasons go on... I miss Cas being powerful and exuding energy that I'm sure is what had ppl assigning him as top energy. Like yes flex ur sexy sexy angel powers pls. There's one ep where my notes just say "ANGEL SMITE ANGEL SMITE / HEAAALING." Season 6 Cas where he is more out of touch with humanity and more brusque was also intriguing even tho he was like that bc of extenuating circumstances. But him flexing his sexy angel powers sure was sexy

Do not wants :(

Endgame human!Cas. Sorry I like short-lived Cassidy am more into feathered Cas than human!Cas. endgame human!Cas just isn't a good solution/happy ending to me, I don't think Cas needs to change to be able to live happily, and also I like to chew on the like philosophical underpinnings of an immortal/mortal pairing if that does get called into question lol

Human AU* but like asterisk bc I will take human AU if the plot is compelling and/or the characterization still manages to capture that je nais se quoi of canonverse. If they are, like, middle age dads being domestic, as an example, tho, then I can probs do that, I just like.. have limited capacity for career-based AUs for the sake of it, if that makes sense... But character/character dynamics trumps all, like I said lmao.. I've sat thru scenarios/setups that lowkey dealt me psychic damage bc of the nature of the set dressing, bc I checked it out out of morbid curiosity but the way they did the characterization ended up working for me

A/B/O - I am not seeking A/B/O at the moment

Hurt no Comfort - it would make me too sad :(

fics that treat angels like literal physical feathered beings. Idk I just like... want the whole angel thing to be treated more metaphysically. They are multidimensional wavelengths of celestial intent in holy corporate/business attire visages but they are still very much multidimensional wavelengths of celestial intent the ballpark size of our Chrysler building. If the wings are treated too literally I find I start getting bored, ironically. This is ironic bc I'm a slut for wingfic. But with spn I find that a conventional kind of wingfic/angel conception where the wings are just limbs with maybe some slight handwaved dimension-shifting stowing is.. slightly passe for my tastes. Unless it's like a forced manifestation or sth. Just like.. get the metaphysics involved, tie it to angelic grace. Something. Make is racy. But not too racy, the whole wings-as-erogenous-zones thing I'm a bit over too, xenobiology to humans would just be biology to these beings, it doesn't make sense to me to be like "oh they have a tail and it's EXTRA sensitive," like are you suggesting your arm/armpit is an extra special species-typical erogenous zone too?

deaging unless it ties to some other kinda plotty deal somehow ig? Like... I got invested in this fandom for them as they are now I'm not too interesting in unseasoned nibling vers

this maybe goes with the human aus tho that's a slight asterisk but hard line no high school aus. pls I cannot take the psychic damage that would deal to me personal

I have no conclusion even tho I feel like I need one. here's wonderwall? ig I can stumble around looking for reclists and see if anything sticks out, trawling thru tags so far has been a mixed bag

Anyway haha lol, stand-up-style-tone I mean I'm not asking for a lot amirite. Just a nebulously specific set of intricate rituals wrapped around a plot and also found family or something, like you know, just a trifling

[postyxmendes]

Shawn Mendes IG Live Breakdown (aka PR shitshow)

okay i decided to talk about the little live we just got....quick disclaimer i do believe Shawn does care about the pandemic going on he and Lizzo were two of the biggest artists to sign that petition before we even knew he was gonna do this little live or anything....anyway here’s my thoughts and observations

okay starting off with my favorite thing about the live Brian, Josiah, Mike, and Prasahan trolling the entire live “notice me” “mike join cod” “quarantine headass” “play Wonderwall”

“Karen” commenting “Fantastic guys. Miss u both so much xx.” yeah “Karen” i’m sure you do....☕️

John Mayer king of not knowing anyone his own age joining in on the festivities...don’t they have a curfew at the retirement home old man it’s way past your bed time

Silver Surfer, “Dr.” Jocelyn and Lua (who???) also feeding into the festivities...listen ladies clout chasing does not make you quirky it makes you looks desperate 👀

Shawn...dude....i hope you get locked out of Canada (however that works) you looked so disinterested and like you were suffering which i don’t blame you....you have to save a racist career and your not doing to well at that either

Niall...i expected better from you smh

Gerty suck a butt you selfish asshole...that’s all

pretty much this live was more hers than his...and that’s on being an attention seeking racist with no career

um the racist acting quirky was more bearable then her singing tbh....you were in a band called 5th harmony but don’t know how to harmonize how ironic

Shawn not knowing the words to havana...one she’s supposed to be your girlfriend and that’s her biggest song two it’s literally the same 3 words repetitively being sung

Shawn go take a nap you tired old man you are not aging well right now

the viewer count dropping every time kkkarla started to sing....iconic nobody can clear a room faster than that good luck with your 3 audience members at you flop concerts 

only answering verified accounts such as Global Citizens, MTV, Nickelodeon....all of which endorse this pr relationship...hmmm

in conclusion this live was a mess, but more bearable then anything else they’ve done...now that it’s over and y’all looked like friends more than lovers (🤢) can y’all hang it up i know your tired of getting dragged on every social media site.....as for kkkarla i hope you let your dying career die already we’re tired
