JD ships and my thoughts on them bc I'm bored af

Exer/Jackson: do you have a brain damage. (it's not even a question because yes you do)

Exer/Brenda: respectfully, what the fuck. They're besties <3

Exer/Pamela: they. are. BESTIES.

Exer/Ronald: I feel like Exer doesn't appreciate Ron enough, also they don't interact enough (at least not on-screen) so yeah no

Exer/David: YES. childhood friends to lovers will be the death of me. Also David has always been there for Exer since the beginning, and Exer would hang the stars for David 10/10 if this isn't my love story I don't want it

Jackson/David: David was the only one of the REDs who did actually try to be friends with Jackson at first, but everytime Exer made a mistake, Jackson was mad at David too. It doesn't seem fair so no, not a huge fan, but it's also not the worst ship.

Jackson/Brenda: I did ship them a little bit when I first read it, but after the fight with Exer they literally did not speak (understandable) until the last episode of season 2. Again, not the worst ship but they're better off as friends

Jackson/Pamela: Literally canon. Also they're so cute. Also also it's girlboss x malewife and I love them.

Jackson/Ronald: and they were roommatessssss LMFAO JK respectfully no

Jackson/Ken: More popular than Jamela, and honestly it's a pretty good ship, but since it's not canon Imma try my best to just see them as friends because they are

Brenda/Pamela: Ok yeah I see it, besties to lovers, my weakness

Brenda/Jolie: I WISH THIS WAS CANON (I love my sapphic queens <3)

Brenda/Ken: Paola is heavily implying that this might be canon, but idk I don't really see it, I do love them both tho so let's see how this plays out

Ronald/Timothy: also heavily implied that this might be canon, but for some reason the height difference bothers me to no end (why is Tim the height of a carrot??)

Ronald/David: the least problematic rarepair, honestly not that bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think they're better off as besties but whatever

More:

W*lliam/Electric chair: they deserve each other.

Exer/Ken: Idk I randomly thought of this and like .. . . ehhhhh I don't think they've interacted one on one, but yk not terrible?? 4.5/10

David/Ken: That one scene when Ken kissed David's hand was funny but nah

Ken/Tim/Jolie: honestly I feel bad for Jolie haha, I love chaos but I'd get tired of their antics quickly, I see them as a friend group tbh

Why is Ken in so many of these-

ok thanks for reading byeeee

Gay men reveal the queer romance novels with the best explicit scenes

The library is … thirsty!

When one guy asked for “a good gay romance novel with some good not safe for work scenes” in a recent Reddit thread, fellow bibliophiles suggested more reading material than a gay could get through in a year. (Especially if these books’ protagonists are, indeed, as “wank-worthy.”)

Here’s an abridged version of the thread, but be sure to see the full post at r/AskGayMen… and be ready for your reading glasses to get all fogged up!

“The Red Dirt Heart series by N.R. Walker. Lots of NSFW parts. … It’s about a rancher and a ranch hand in the Australian Outback.”

“Alexis Hall is a very prominent gay romance author with very steamy sex scenes in a lot of his books. I have read Boyfriend Material, and at first, I was a little put off by the writing style, but after the first few chapters, I was hooked.”

“Holding the Man [by Timothy Conigrave] is a romantic autobiography set during the start of the AIDS crisis. It does have steamy scenes, and one interesting thing is that the narrator actually admits when he is being a d*ck.”

“The Song of Achilles [by Madeline Miller].”

“All of TJ Klune’s books are written well, and most have very NSFW content. The [Tales of Verania] series starts with The Lightning-Struck Heart. … Terry Audette has a few, but I love The Good Doctor. It needs a good editor and an ending. Look for his original version and not the newer version [that] edited out much of the story.”

Prince Harry Steps Down As Patron Of African Charity He Co-Founded In Honor Of Mother Princess Diana

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – OCTOBER 03: (L-R) George Sibotshiwe, Executive Director, Vuyo Lutseke, Youth Reporter Mary-Ann Nobele, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, Youth Reporter Musa Khuzwayo, Thando Mbele-Sibotshiwe and Dr Bhakti Hansoti attend a Sentebale reception and panel discussion at The Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Prince Harry has resigned as patron of the African charity that he co-founded in 2006 in memory of Princess Diana — his late mother.

After stepping down from Sentebale, the youth-focused charity he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, the 40-year-old Duke of Sussex

claimed in an announcement that he was both devastated and “in shock.”

“Sentebale works in the Southern African countries of Lesotho and Botswana providing and enabling holistic care to young people, including those living with HIV/AIDS, and mental health challenges; along with vocational training and entrepreneurial skills. We have recently expanded into the regeneration of landscapes to mitigate the adverse impact of climate change on the natural resources that communities rely on,” the charity’s official website states.

Meanwhile, Harry has vaguely explained that due to the continuous unrest behind closed doors between the charity’s chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka,

and the board of trustees — he was compelled to step down.

The Duke of Sussex also reminded the public that the foundation was first founded “in honor of our mothers” in a joint statement with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho.

“With heavy hearts, we have resigned from our roles as patrons of the organization until further notice, in support of and solidarity with the board of trustees who have had to do the same,” Harry and Prince Seeiso said in a joint statement. “It is devastating that the relationship between the charity’s trustees and the chair of the board broke down beyond repair, creating an untenable situation… What’s transpired is unthinkable,” the pair’s statement continued.

“We are in shock that we have to do this, but we have a continued responsibility to Sentebale’s beneficiaries, so we will be sharing all of our concerns with the Charity Commission as to how this came about.”

Harry established the foundation, which translates to “Forget me not,” in memory of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales — since she loved forget-me-not flowers, which are also called “Scorpion grasses.”

In a subsequent statement, the charity’s former trustees, Damian West, Audrey Kgosidintsi, Mark Dyer, Timothy Boucher, and Kelello Lerotholi also unanimously announced their decision to step down from their positions on the board.

“Today’s decision is nothing short of devastating for all of us, but we see no other path forward as the result of our loss in trust and confidence in the chair of the board,” they stated.

Soon after, Chandauka, who was essentially accused of being the instigator behind the ongoing “unrest,” leading to the charity’s heads stepping down — responded with a statement of her own, asserting that the recent departures do not intimidate her.

“For me, this is not a vanity project from which I can resign when I am called to account,” she declared, noting that she has reported the trustees to the Charity Commission. “There are people in this world who behave as though they are above the law and mistreat people, and then play the victim card and use the very press they disdain to harm people who have the courage to challenge their conduct.”

She continued, explaining that the issues arose after she “dared to blow the whistle about issues of poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir — and the cover-up that ensued.”

Harry’s abrupt departure occurs only a few months after Richard Miller, who had served as Sentebale’s CEO for five years, resigned. Miller’s departure followed the resignations of Baroness Lynda Chalker, an 18-year director, and Andrew Tucker, a 10-year veteran of the charity in a senior role.

Following the resignation of advertising guru Johnny Hornby last year, the charity also saw a significant transformation. Hornby was chairman for five of the organization’s eleven years as a trustee.

30th track: "Golden" is a song by English singer-songwriter Harry Styles from his second studio album Fine Line (2019).

"Golden" is an indie pop and soft rock song, with a 1970s and Southern California sound. The song is composed in 44 time and the keyof E minor, with a moderately fast tempo of 140 beats per minute and a chord progressionof C–Em/Bm7–D. It incorporates clusters of background harmonies and is filled with twinkling glockenspiel tinkles. Styles' vocals range from D3 to B4.

The music video for "Golden" was directed by Ben Turner and Gabe Turner, and premiered on 26 October 2020. In the music video, Styles is shown running, swimming, and driving a car along the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

31st track: "They Don't Love It" is a song by American rapper Jack Harlow. It was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio through Generation Now and Atlantic Records as the lead single from his self-titled third studio album, Jackman, on April 28, 2023, along with the album. Harlow wrote the song with producer Kameron Cole. The song prominently samples "Can't Live Without You" by Connie Laverne, and as a result, its songwriter, gospel singer Timothy Wright, is also credited.

The song received attention for Harlow saying that he is the "hardest white boy" since previous collaborator, fellow American rapper Eminem. He subtly compares himself to the rapper in the lines: "Ya boy's strivin' to be the most dominant ever / The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters", a similar line used by the rapper G-Eazy on the 2015 song "Calm Down" by saying: "And fuck it I'm the coldest white rapper in the game since the one with the bleached hair". The lines refer to Eminem in the song “lose yourself “ rapping about vomiting after eating spaghetti that his mother made due to nervousness before participating in a rap battle on stage.The lyrics received generally negative reviews from fans on social media, who felt that the late Mac Miller was more deserving of the title that Harlow gave himself.

However Aaron Williams of Uproxx defended Harlow by saying: "And while, truthfully, 'best white rapper' is very much subjective, you have to admire the moxy Jack shows in making such a claim — and the smarts. There's no better promotion than some good, old-fashioned water cooler talk". Other than the incident, the song "bursts out of the traps, the high-pitched vocal distortions aligned to free-flowing rhymes from the Kentucky artist". 

Fellow white rapper Machine Gun Kelly responded to the Eminem lyrics a few days later, clearly not taking Harlow claiming to be the hardest white rapper since Eminem too well stating that Harlow "jacked man's whole swag" and he should "Give Drake his flow back".

32nd track: "The Heart Wants What It Wants" is a song by American singer Selena Gomez. It was released on November 6, 2014, through Hollywood Records, as the lead and only single from her compilation album For You (2014). The song was written by Gomez, Antonina Armato, David Jost and Tim James.Armato and James, who collectively form the production duo Rock Mafia, also produced the song. A mid-tempo pop and R&B track with a minimal electropop beat, its accompanying music video was premiered on November 6, 2014, alongside the premiere of the song itself. It is Gomez's last single release under the label.

Lyrically, Gomez details being in love with a bad boy despite knowing he may not be a stand-up guy. She sings, "The bed's getting cold and you're not here / The future that we hold is so unclear / But I'm not alive until you call / And I'll bet the odds against it all... / There's a million reasons why I should give you up / But the heart wants what it wants."

The title is from a letter by Emily Dickinson.The saying was popularized in 1992 when it was quoted by Woody Allen in an interview about his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn.

33rd track: "Move Along" is a song by American rockband the All-American Rejects from their second studio album Move Along. It was released on February 27, 2006, as the second single from the album.

"Move Along" was written by Nick Wheeler and Tyson Ritter. Wheeler explained that the song is "[a]n anti-suicide message song about believing in oneself and persevering in the face of problems". 

According to Wheeler, they wrote the song at a time "when we were at our wits' end wondering if we were ever going to get to make a second record. Our manager and our guy just kept saying, 'Keep writing, keep writing.' All we knew was, hey, man, we wrote 11 songs and that's all we had to our name when we made the first record. ... Thankfully [our manager] pushed us to our wits' end, because the last two songs we wrote for our second record were 'Move Along' and 'It Ends Tonight', which were both top ten hits. And it actually became pretty easy writing follow-up hits once the juices started flowing

The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Punknews.org referred to the track as an "excellent song" and "The perfect predecessor as their last single 'Dirty Little Secret'", while About.com reviewed "Move Along" as "another slice of catchy pop-rock this time attached to an uplifting, encouraging message. There is little lyrical depth here, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The All-American Rejects will win no awards for innovation with this single. However, for energetic pop-rock radio fare, 'Move Along' nicely fills the bill".

34th track :You Remain Is a Song by Todd Galberth featuring Chandler Moore from the album Encounter released in 2022. Lyrically, the powerful Christian worship song talks about how though the earthly things shall pass away and when others leave, God is still there and has never left us after all these years

35th track: "Cruel Summer" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her seventh studio album, Lover(2019) but wasn’t released as a single until June 20, 2023 , nearly four years after the release of “Lover”. Swift and Jack Antonoff produced the song, and they wrote it with St. Vincent. "Cruel Summer" is a synth-pop, industrial pop, and electropop song composed of synths, wobbling beats, and vocoder-manipulated vocals. The lyrics are about an intense romance during a painful summer.

Initial reviews of Lover praised "Cruel Summer" for its melodic composition and catchy sound, specifically highlighting the hook and bridge. Many deemed it a highlight on Lover and one of Swift's best songs. "Cruel Summer" debuted in the top 30 of various singles charts in 2019 and became a fan favorite over time, prompting fans and publications to question why Swift did not release the track as a single. After being included in the set list of Swift's sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour, in 2023, "Cruel Summer" became viral on social media, leading Republic Records to release it as a single on June 20, 2023.

In the United States, the single peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and helped Swift become the solo artist with the most number-one songs on the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay radio charts. Elsewhere, it topped the Billboard Global 200 and the singles charts in Australia, Canada, the Philippines, and Singapore. It was the seventh-most-streamed song globally of 2023 and was placed on the 2024 revision of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Okay can you make a Head Cannon and the scenario is after the most grueling weeks of basic training stationed in England just right before they shipped out to France but the Ol' Miller's Squad and they need a little bit of R&R because they are so exhausted so they found this quaint local Pub and they encountered very pretty but very lonely ladies can you make a scenario of each of the squad members attribute it to their personalities how would they react to each girl asking them to dance to flirt or whatever which character can you do that thank you.

yes of course, sorry for late replay 🫶

Miller's squad: their reaction to a girl flirting and asking to dance with them

! she/her pronouns !

John Miller: he's a bit "eh.. do I have too?", he doesn't say it out loud of course but you can tell from his face expression and body language. After some small begging and encouragement from the group in the back (who keeps giving him thumps up and kissing faces) he agrees to it. He hates to admit it but he enjoys it a lot.. especially the flirting.

Mike Horvath: has to think for a couple minuets and looks over at Miller for "permission" and Millers like "wtf yes go dance with her?" and so he does. Probably ends up hooking up a bit in a corner.

Daniel Jackson: he's a southern gentleman obviously. A secretly kinky southern gentleman. He won't admitted though. When the lady askes him to dance he says "yes m'am", it's you know a little flirtatious but the more he gets into it and the more she flirts the more risky he feels. Whispers stuff in her ear " wanna take this some where private" etc. slowly kissing her neck and under her jaw. You can probably guess what happens next.

Richard Reiben: No lady has to ask him, he will just agree to it in a second, especially if she's a gorgeous girl. Makes out on the dance floor and flirts back even more (and riskier) than her, they end up leaving the dance floor to lock themselves in the bathroom stalls to... you know... but anyways both of them nearly got kicked out of the pub for being to sexual, loud and drunk and everything between that.

Irwin Wade: again, he's also a bit squeamish but gains confidence when he thinks "what would Reiben do?". He tries to be all dominant but he's a little bit to nervous so she ends up taking the lead on the dance floor. But on the other hand, he's actually quite good at flirting, more romantically than sexually though.

Stanley Mellish: confidence is key. He likes it, he also has no filter so the minute she walks up to flirting and asking him to dance he will straight up ask if she wants to sleep with him and that she "arouses" him. Of course he'll ask in a more subbtle way and not in a Reiben "hey wanna fuck" way.

Timothy Upham: deadass has no rizz game. He'll go all giggly when a single lady starts flirting with him especially when she wants to dance. He's not that good at dancing nor flirting but he tries his best and gains a bit of an ego. during a dance break he'll buy her a drink and most likely ask for her number.

Adrian Caparzo: finds it cute. He'll agree to dance and he will subtlety flirt but won't ask to sleep with them because that's not what his parents taught him to be like but of course he'll agree to do it if she asks or hints at it.
