Mean Girls 2024 was MADE for Gen Z like when Damien pulled out the matching Beanie Boo Janis had with Regina and me and my friends audibly gasped
Like Janis's graphic eyeliner and little pearls stuck to her eyelids and cute crochet sweater TELL ME THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT DIDNT BREAK INTO MY HOME AND COPY MY QUEER ART FREAK OUTFITS
And like idk why but I actually feel like the costumes were representative of teenagers nowadays?? Like sorry I love the og movie but no sixteen year old is going round school with their Louis Vuitton purse, let's be so fr the majority of 'popular' students rn are buying crop tops off of Shein
I feel like Gen Z is never quite represented well in movies but I was talking to the people I watched it with and this movie including a montage in which Highschoolers crawled around the floor like animals actually felt so real for some reason???

Alex Recommends: May Books
I have had a very busy month and my head is so full of all the things that I am trying to juggle at the moment. However, not all of it has been a struggle and I’ve definitely made some really lovely memories with my favourite people too.
I have recently started volunteering at my local library. I’m learning so much and I know that there is still so much more that I don’t know. I am considering librarianship as my next career move, so anything I can take in will surely put me in good stead for that. It is very different to anything I’ve done before though, so naturally I’m a bit anxious about it!
Of course, all this has forced me to think about the future a lot, which isn’t always great for my mental health. I’ve not felt fully in control of my destiny recently, which is a huge trigger for a spiral. I’m lucky that I have such a supportive partner with me most of the time and once again, I’m not sure where I’d be without him. Mark has been treating me to fun days out and checking in with how I am and I can’t explain how grateful I am to have that. 
I have been reading a lot of amazing books that I’m sharing with you right here. I have no doubt that you’ll love this selection because it’s a particularly good one, if I do say so myself! Fantastic characters, hopeful storylines and very immersive writing will have you flying through these. Enjoy!

FICTION: The People on Platform 5 by Clare Pooley.
Tumblr media
Eccentric and colourful, Iona Iverson has been a magazine therapist at Modern Woman for decades. She takes the same train from Hampton Court to Waterloo and sees the same people every day. However, London train etiquette dictates that no one interacts with each other. Until one day when Smart-But-Sexist-Manspreader chokes on a grape and it’s up to Iona and her fellow passengers to save him. From then on, connections are formed and it turns out that they could be exactly what each other needs. This uplifting story of unlikely friendships and the importance of community gave me all the fuzzies! With plenty of warm humour and some truly loveable characters, The People on Platform 5 is a lesson to us all -always look beyond the surface because everyone is fighting a secret battle that can be won with kindness and empathy. A real celebration of underdogs!
NON-FICTION: The Book of Non-Binary Joy by Ben Pechey.
Tumblr media
No matter where you are in your gender exploration journey, Ben Pechey aims to guide you through the highs and lows of finding your true, fabulous self. Full of personal insight, thoughts from other LGBTQ+ voices and fun activities, The Book of Non-Binary Joy explores fashion, mental health, ally privilege, understanding yourself and more. Funny and educational with charming illustrations of non-binary people, this wonderfully thoughtful manual offers a thorough exploration of what it means to be non-binary and the many forms that can take as well as excellent resources. Pechey has such a warm, friendly voice and their character shines through the pages!
MIDDLE-GRADE: The Wondrous Prune by Ellie Clements.
Tumblr media
Following a bereavement, Prune and her family move into her late grandmother’s house in a new town. Her mother works long hours and her brother seems to be preoccupied, so Prune doesn’t feel she can tell anyone that she’s being bullied at her new school. She keeps seeing colourful clouds too and even weirder -her drawings are coming to life! But when her brother falls into a spot of trouble, Prune realises that her new strange power could be the key to bringing her family back together. The Wondrous Prune is a beautiful story of siblingship and the real power of imagination. Prune is a very loveable heroine and there is some gorgeous imagery, as Prune’s art materialises. There was one part where I couldn’t stop the tears from escaping too but overall, it is full of hope and wonder.
FANTASY: Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor.
Tumblr media
The Hotel Magnifique is known for travelling and appearing in a different town every morning. Jani feels stuck in a dead-end job, taking care of her talented younger sister Zosa but then Hotel Magnifique arrives. Securing jobs as staff, the sisters are sucked into a whirlwind adventure and the sinister truth at the dark heart of the hotel. I loved the bond between Jani and Zosa and never had any doubt that they’d make it through the very dark plot that was laid out for them. There is some stunning, magical imagery in this Night Circus-esque world and a slow-burn romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Hotel Magnifique definitely isn’t just a pretty cover!
HISTORICAL FICTION: Elektra by Jennifer Saint.
Tumblr media
The House of Atreus’ bloodline is cursed by violence and revenge. Clytemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon and sister of Helen, who is taken to Troy by Paris. Cassandra, cursed to tell the truth but to never be believed, powerless to stop the horror of the future. Elektra, daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, hell-bent on avenging her tyrant father while avoiding the curse herself. I was completely immersed in Jennifer Saint’s intricate world-building and simply couldn’t stop reading. Full of darkness and gore, Elektra is packed with complex and fascinating characters caught up in blind loyalty, the underestimation of women and the tragic scars of war. A highly compelling, extremely powerful tale.

Music Spotlight: Luna Aura
Genre-bending powerhouse Luna Aura is creative, inspiring and thrives off individuality. Luna’s sound and voice are unique and she’s been able to grow into herself and her music, knowing exactly who she is and what she wants. In honor of Women’s History Month, we had the chance to talk to her about her advice to new artists, her female inspirations and more. Check it out. 
Are there any women in particular that inspire you in the music industry?
Janis Joplin, P!nk, Joan Jett....the list goes on and on. I appreciate any female who is able to create and maintain a long-lasting career in an industry that is as rampant with sexism and ageism as the music industry. Especially a woman who does so unapologetically the way these women have. It’s the fearlessness and grit that these women possess that planted the seed in my heart to find my voice and do something with it. Being a woman, especially a woman in music, you have the responsibility to show your teeth and speak your truth. Because just like I spent my time watching and absorbing the powerful women that came before me, I have to assume there’s another young girl out there somewhere watching and waiting for someone to light the spark within her. Inspiration is the key to everything, but most importantly it is the key to change.
Who and/or what influences your overall aesthetic - from your music to your style to your fashion sense?
I’m a 90’s baby so I’ve always had a soft spot for that era’s aesthetic. I have a little bit of an obsession with dark comedies from the 90’s (Heathers, Jawbreaker, Sugar & Spice). I love the stark contrast between the coloring and the narrative in these types of films. Bright colors, pretty Barbie-esque visuals alongside a very dark and unsettling storyline. I can certainly say those films have played a huge role in both my fashion choices and my upcoming EP.
What advice would you give to women who are just starting out in the music industry?
Imagine nothing matters. That’s the best advice I can give. You might have people pulling you in 100 different directions because they think they know what’s best for you. The only person who knows what’s best for you is you. Don’t let anyone take your hand or make you feel like you’re doing it wrong. If you like who you are, if you like what you do, and if you like how you do it, then nothing else matters. Do you and do it well, and you will find the people to help you along the way.
Tell us about your creative process and what you have coming up in 2020.
I spend most of my time in rooms writing with people for a number of different projects. I write for TV and film, for other artists, and for myself. I find that I get stuck in a rut easily if I put myself in a box and don’t allow myself to express all my different sides and colors. My process is never concrete and it changes from day to day. If I’m not having fun creating something, I’ll just stop doing it and go watch the Real Housewives or something. There’s no point in forcing something because the audience consists of human beings who are hungry for authenticity.
I’m releasing an EP titled “THREE CHEERS FOR THE AMERICAN BEAUTY” this summer. Six songs that I’m very proud of and can’t wait to share! Looking into more shows and festivals for the end of the year.
Lightning round! Describe each of the following in one word: Who you are, what you value the most, and what you’d be if you were a food item.

Parties
sorry guys, we needed a bad guy.......blame bear for this one parties never end well og g/t mg (but its not canon to the ‘storyline’ and will never be referenced again lmao)
I hate parties. 
Any size parties.
Just hate em.
There's a reason I spend my Halloweens with Damian watching horror movies rather than going to events. 
The rest of my friends on the other hand love parties. 
Maybe not Aaron, but he can deal. I can't.
Yet here I stand next to a drunk as fuck Regina in the Heron's kitchen. It's not a holiday or anything. Cady just wanted to throw a banger so Cady threw a banger. 
Gretchen was around here somewhere. Aaron was in the living room and Cady was running frantically through the house multitasking taking shots and stopping drunk teenagers from wrecking her house. Damian stayed home with the common sense he's been blessed with. 
I should be with him but Regina convinced me to come. And hey, it's Cady's house. At least I know I won't be dealing with Shane Omen or anything.
"Isn't this fun?!" Regina asks gripping my arm. As always shes wasted an hour in. To be fair, so are most people here. I think Cady was already drunk when we arrived. 
"Yeah, this is tits." I say sarcastically, watching Cady do cheers with a random classmate and down whatever was in that red solo cup. 
I was tipsy too, don't get me wrong. I'm not putting myself through a highschool party totally sober, but I wasn't wasted as fuck like the girl next to me. 
"Huh, where is Gretchen?" Regina calls over the music. 
"How should I know? She's not my giant."
Regina begins texting on her phone, clearly struggling to do so coherently. 
My own phone dings and for a second I think she may have accidentally texted me but its a message from Aaron. 
"Come to the living room." I read out loud. "It's Aaron." I explain once Regina shoots me a confused glance. 
"Well, how the fuck does he expect us to get there?" Regina asks. "Can't just walk!" She's theatrically throwing her hands around and I can't help but laugh. 
Cady walks into the kitchen, leaning against the counter we're at, looking incredibly stressed. "My house is going to be in flames by the end of the night." She mumbles.
"Hey, Cady?" I ask walking over to her. "Think you can take me to Aaron?"
Cady hums in agreement, watching a group of teens push each other around a couple feet away. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you want Janis. Just- give me a moment."
She walks over to the boys and says something to them, I can't hear what they're saying but they stop roughhousing.
Cady walks back over, a stressed smile on her face. "What did you want?"
"Aaron texted me. I nee-"
"Hold that thought, Janis." Cady holds a finger out before walking away again. 
I sigh, looking back to Regina. "You hear from Gretchen? She might be our best bet."
Not that I trusted a drunk Gretchen. I also promised Damian I'd stick with Cady in hopes to minimalize the risk of being dropped. But I don't see much choice right now. 
"Nope," Regina pops the 'p', wobbling up and stepping over to me. "I like your hair today!" She grabs a strand and twirls it between her finger. "You're so pretty. You know that right?"
Regina has two levels of drunk. A bit tipsy and cliche white girl wasted. There's no in-between and it's abundantly clear where she's at right now.
"Right," Cady walks back over with a sigh. "What did you two want?"
"Oh, if it's not too much because you look kinda busy right now- could you take us to the living room? Aaron wants to talk with us-" My voice trails off as it becomes apparent that Cady isn't listening. She's glancing around the house while simultaneously taking long sips from her red solo cup. "Cady."
"What?" She glances down at us. "Oh, sorry. You were sayi-"
"Cady Heron!" A voice calls from the crowd. 
I groan in frustration as Cady walks away without even saying bye to us. 
Yes, I know its Cady's house party and she needs to watch out for her property, but Jesus is it so hard to pay attention to your friends?
"Still no Gretchen," Regina says. "I tried calling twice."
Cady walks back over with a grin. "Sorry. Sorry." Her phone dings and she pulls it out. "What did you need, Janis."
"For you to pay attention," I say, not bothering to hide the mild annoyance in my voice.
"Yeah, I get it. The same thing happened to me," Cady replies dully before gasping. "Who's posting my parent's bedroom on their private story! Upstairs is off-limits!" She runs back into the crowd.
I groan pulling out my phone to tell Aaron we may be a while.
"She's not paying attention." Regina points out.
"No, really."
It's not long before Cady is once again, making her way back to us. "False alarm." She chuckles. "Now. What did you two need again?"
"Can you take us to A-"
"Put that down! If that breaks you're getting billed!" Cady interrupts me, yelling at some people in the next room.
"Cady!" I yell, throwing my hands out in exasperation. "Pay attention, god damn it!"
"Jesus, Janis. Needy much?" Cady teases. 
"Yeah! I am! I'm fucking small and would like assistance but you keep running off!"
"Yeah!" Regina cheers from behind me. "What's going on?"
Cady scowls. "You try throwing a fucking party, Janis. I have better things to do right now."
"Better things to do than care about the well being of your friends?" 
I know Cady is drunk and probably isn't explaining her emotions the best right now. That or she's being one hundred percent honest because that's what happens when you're wasted. Just look at Regina.
"Yeah, Janis! Believe it or not, my world doesn't revolve around you."
"Actually, Damian put you in charge of Janis. To ignore her would be destroying his trust." Regina says, leaning onto me for support.
Cady shrugs. "And if my house gets wrecked I'm destroying my parent's trust."
"Listen, Cady! This doesn't need to be a fight! I just need help getting to A-"
"Janis I can't put all my attention on you all the time! It's not my fault you're in love with me or som-" Cady cuts herself off.
I already got the gist of it.
Regina gasps from somewhere behind me as I freeze.
"Janis-" Cady reaches forward but I step back. 
"No."
"Janis I'm so sorry I-"
"Don't touch me." I push her hand away and Cady lets it fall to her side. 
"I didn't mean it."
I think back to my 'people are more honest when they're drunk' thought. How come Cady only said these things when wasted? It clearly meant she believed those words to an extent. 
"Janis please-" Cady raises her hand again.
"I said, don't touch me!" 
There are tears in my eyes at this point. Arms wrap around me as Regina hugs me from behind. 
"I want to leave." I whisper. 
Regina nods into my shoulder. "I'll try calling Gretchen again."
I look up at Cady, whos standing there frozen, regret all over her face. "Janis," Her voice is barely audible over the party. 
"Save it." I snap. I'm not going to let the tears fall. Not again. Not over her. I cried over Regina and I said I wouldn't cry over Cady. But I did.
I sure as hell won't do it again.
"Oh thank god you picked up, Gretchen." Regina lets go of me to step away and talk on the phone. 
Gretchen, Regina, and I were all supposed to stay at Cady's for a sleepover. We would help her clean up the house and deal with hangovers together in the morning. But the last thing I want to do right now is stick around Cady. 
Having your sexuality thrown at you as an insult has a strangely sobering effect. Guess you can learn new things even in the worst of times. 
I'm pushing back the need to cry to the point where I'm feeling sick. I mean, puking my guts out would really just be a great way to end the night, huh? Anything other than cry over this. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me three times, twice with the same girl? Guess that's on me for being a dumbass. 
Gretchen walks into the room. "Hey," She says tentatively. "I'm just here for Regina and Janis."
Cady steps to the side silently. 
Gretchen holds her hand out, waiting for Regina and I to climb on. I'm not thrilled with the idea of a drunk Gretchen carrying me, but at least she won't turn my sexuality into an insult. 
Gretchen pulls us to her chest and turns to Cady. "I don't fully know what went on, but Regina and I probably aren't going to stay the night. If you need help cleaning up tomorrow I'll swing by but I think everyone has had a bit too much tonight and we all need to take a step back." 
Since when was Gretchen the reasonable thinker?
Cady nods, looking everywhere but me.
Regina's arms are back, pulling me into her for a hug. I don't fight it, I'm too occupied trying to keep tears at bay. I text Aaron saying we were leaving and the check up on Cady. Just like last time, even though she went for the lowest blow she could, I still care about her. 
Maybe that's why I keep getting hurt.
Gretchen steps outside. "I'm obviously not driving."
"Yeah," I whisper. There's instantly one person in my mind I know I can call.
But-
I don't want to worry him over something like this. It's my fault I keep getting into these situations. It's on me. It's late, I don't want to have to wake him up.
But he wouldn't want Gretchen to drive, I know that much.
As if she can sense my inner turmoil, Regina's hand runs up and down my arm. "You wouldn't be annoying him, you know."
My phone rings, making both of us jump. Gretchen laughs at the sudden movement in her hand.
It's Damian.
"Wow, you guys really do have soulmate intuition." Regina giggles. 
I elbow her and pick up the phone, trying to sound as normal as possible. "Damian, what's up?"
"I just got off the phone with Cady."
Why did he call Cady? What?
As if he knew my questions, Damian continues. "She called me because she said so,e things and wanted me to make sure you were okay. Do you, Regina, and Gretchen need a ride?"
"You don't need to, it's late you probably want to go to bed and-"
"Janis. I didn't ask what you think I wanted to do. I'm asking if you have somebody sober coming to pick you up?"
There's a long pause. "No." I say quietly.
"I'm on my way." Damian doesn't sound mad or annoyed that he has to come, much to my relief.
I nod, forgetting her can't see me, and lower the phone from my ear.
"Damian's coming." I say to Gretchen as the line clicks dead.
There's a lot of questions in my head. Why did Cady say those things to me at the party, again? Why did Cady call Damian? Why does it hurt more each time? All of my questions go largely unanswered. 
Gretchen sits on Cady's front steps. 
We can still hear the party going on inside, people cheering and music blasting. I feel bad for dragging Regina and Gretchen away from the party. I know it's their scene.
"I thought I was gonna be sick in there," Gretchen admits. "Kinda glad for an excuse to get fresh air. Just wish the excuse wasn't because of-" She glances back inside. 
"Yeah." I say slowly.
Regina has since let go of me and the cold winter air is a lot more apparent. Why throw a party in the winter? A high school party is just an excuse to wear skimpy dresses and minimal clothing. Why not do it in the summer or something. 
I look down at my own dress. Regina insisted I wear one but she couldn't get rid of my fishnets and jacket. You couldn't really tell it was a form-fitting black dress due to my baggy jacket yet I still felt uncomfortable. I tugged at the bottom in a vain attempt to make the dress longer. 
"I hate parties."
Regina giggles from next to me in her pink rubber dress. I don't understand how she could walk around like that. Her dress was even shorter than mine. 
Regina and Gretchen chat while we wait for Damian. I don't contribute to the conversation, I barely even listen. I'm too lost in my thoughts, trying to figure out why Cady would do this to me. 
Again.
It isn't until a familiar car pulls up that I properly tune into the real world. Damian doesn't even wait for Gretchen to walk over, he's already out of his car and making his was over. I cringe at the worried look on his face, knowing it's my fault. He's wearing his denim jacket and its wrapped tightly around him in an attempt to fight the cold air.
"Hey." He says softly. "Mind if it?" He motions to me but directs the question to Gretchen. Gretchen holds out her hand and Damian lifts me up, mindful of Regina.
"I assume you're taking Regina back to your place?" Damian asks Gretchen.
"I think so."
"Let me text my mom to let her know, but yeah." Regina says, pulling out her phone. 
Damian nods, holding me close to his chest and walking to his car. "Janis, do you want to go home or-"
"Can I stay with you?" I ask tentatively. Cady was annoyed with me for asking too much, was everyone else too? I knew I wasn't overstepping boundaries to ask to stay with Damian, but deep down I felt like I was.
"Of course." Damian says warmly. Both him and Gretchen step in the car. It's warmer in here because of the heater. Damian slips me wordlessly into his jacket pocket where I sink down, not even bothering to join in this conversation. Damian taps the pocket before starting the car. He and Grethen talk in hushed voices and I can occasionally make out Regina saying a word or two. 
I think Regina is telling them about what happened but I don't contribute.
"You could see it on her face as soon as she said it that she regretted it."
"Then why did she say it?" Gretchen whispered.
"When she called me," They were all whispering, but Damian's voice was obviously clearer. "She told me about how much she wished she could take it back. I told her that yeah, the first time was fucked up, but Janis still accepted her apology. And that was a big step for Jan. The more she says it, the harder and harder the apology will be to accept."
"Mhmm."
They talk more, but the conversations are about little thing so I don't pay attention much. The car stops and I poke my head out of the pocket to say bye to Regina and Gretchen. They both wave and Damian watches to make sure they get inside before pulling off.
"So," He says. "Talk to me, Jan. I know you don't like to, but please do it for me."
I sink back into the pocket slightly, leaning my head over the lip of the pocket. 
"I feel shitty."
Damian hums knowingly. He waits for me to say more but doesn't push it. Just, a quiet opportunity to add more if I wanted to.
I didn't.
"When I got the call-" Damian sighed, turning onto his road, his voice filling up the silence in the car. I didn't mind, sinking into the pocket but still paying attention. "I didn't know how to feel. I thought it showed a level of matuirty that Cady wanted me to check up on you, but I think an even bigger sign of maturity should be to not do it in the first place. But- it's not about what I think. It's about if you're okay. Which you don't have to be right now, but you can talk to me. You know that."
"Yeah, I do." 
Damian pulls into his driveway and turns off the car. "I love you, Janis." He says, unbuckling himself. "I don't know why this keeps happening to you but no matter what happens I'll be there."
Damian scoops me out of his pocket as he closes the car door behind him. He brings his hand up to his shoulder and I take the hint climbing on. 
We make our way through the Hubbard household and into his room. Damian must be able to tell that I don't want to talk right now, because he talks about a bunch of random things from today's sunset to his new favorite broadway show. I don't contribute to the conversation and he doesn't expect me too. It's just nice to hear his voice and to concentrate on that, instead of the thoughts in my head.
Damian pulls out a small box that I recognize and gently brings me to his desk. He places the box on the table and lets me open it. 
"I'm sure you don't want to go to bed in your party outfit."
It's a small box of all clothes I have left at the Hubbard in the past either intentional or by accident. I pull out a pair of sweatpants and an old band t-shirt, the album cover long faded. 
"I'll be in the bathroom getting ready for bed, holler if you need me." Damian smiles before ducking out of the room.
Even when I hit my lows, my relationship with Damian doesn't change.
Yeah, I wasn't feeling very talkative tonight, can you blame me? Yet Damian didn't mind. He filled the quiet void himself. I smiled to myself as I began changing. Damian was always there when I needed him and he always knew what I needed in order to help. 
I don't deserve him. 
Did he ever get annoyed? Cady clearly did. I mean, I ask Damian for help a lot more often than I ask Cady. I bet it got irritating. He was probably about to get ready for bed before Cady called. And then he had to get up and leave the house because of me.
I'd be a little annoyed. I don't blame him.
God and now I'm making it worse by being here for the night. 
I should have just gone home and dealt with my thoughts like a normal person. Me being here and me being such a mess isn't fair on Damian.
He deserves better.
There's a knock at the door as I finish slipping on my shirt. "I'm done!" I call, making sure my voice travels.
Damian steps into the room and the knot in my stomach tightens because I don't deserve him. And he deserves better. 
I haven't cried about Cady yet. And I won't. I can't. Not again. Besides, it will worry Damian more and that's the last thing I want right now. 
Damian crosses the room, sitting down at his desk. 
"Hey." He says softly.
"Hi." 
Damian's hand comes up to cup around me gently and I allow myself to lean back into the warmth.
"Tell me what's going on in that head of yours, Jan." He prompts gently.
"I feel stupid," I say. "Like maybe I should have seen this coming. Regina changed, why didn't Cady? Why is it that every time she's drunk that's the lowest blow she can think of. It's not even the words that hurt anymore, its the fact that Cady said it. Literally anybody else at that party could have said it and I'd be fine. But Cady said it. And it hurts."
I cut myself off when I feel the tears sting at my eyes again. 
I already feel guilty about asking for help all the time. I already feel like a nuisance- being tiny and all. I didn't need Cady to solidify the thought that I was just an inconvenience to everyone.
"All I did was ask for help." I whisper, looking down.
It's quiet for a while. The silence almost feels too loud. 
"Jan," I look up at Damian who also looks like he is about to cry. "Asking for help is never a bad thing. Ever."
"But, she-"
"No. Janis." Damian's voice is soft but stern. "We don't know what was going through Cady's head but that doesn't make what she said okay. Please promise me you'll ask for help when you need it. Even if you never ask anyone but me, promise me you won't try and do things on your own when you know people are willing to help."
I take a shuddered breath, still trying to hold the tears in. "Okay."
Damian smiles but laced with worry. "C'mere."
His fingers close gently around me as he draws me in. I grip onto his t-shirt, letting myself fall against his chest. "You're so strong, you know that, right?" 
"I'm no-"
"I don't know anyone as brave as you." Damian continues without letting me deny anything. "To go through this so many times and still put a smile on your face? I'm so proud of you."
Damian gets up and walks over to his bed, placing me down on the pillow before walking around his room, turning off all lights.
I can ignore everyone's calls and texts for now, but school is going to be a bitch on Monday. Facing Cady is going to be a bitch on Monday. 
A hand scoops me up at Damian lays down, placing me on his chest. His hand rests over me and I can't help but smile.
Yeah, Cady may see me and nothing more than a liability. Just another annoying thing to watch over, but Damian doesn't. Damian has proved time and time again that he cares and will continue to care.
Yeah, Cady's words hurt. A lot. But she didn't speak for every giant I know. 
"Night, Janis," Damian says softly. "Love you."
"I love you too."
Cady had a lot of explaining to do come Monday. And even then, I'm in no rush to accept her apology. Because no matter what happens, I have Damian. 
I always have.
And I always will. 
lmao i told bear i wanted to write giant damian and tiny janis and im fully aware i could have just written like 500 words of fluff but like- this is so much more fun @realmisspolarbear @musicallygt @sourishlemons @smallsoysauce

strop now?' but as a genuine question and as soft 'cos like, no idea what that was] Jimmy: [pulling her hair out of the hood or collar of this jacket whichever it has as softly 'I don't care if I

your lip 'cos softness, what 'go on'] Jimmy: ['I could tell you about how I didn't mean to be such a dickhead there or I could show you, it's up to you, that' the eye contact be like] Janis: [shrugs like you're so unphased either way but not breaking that eye contact 'you aren't much of a talker'] Jimmy: [kissing her on every lovebite like he did at the bus stop but a lot more indecently than you can do when you're in public, taking his time, playing particular attention to anywhere saucy af because why not eventually go down on a girl for the first time in a playground at night in the rain when you're trying to say sorry and give her something to remember you by #peakromance] Janis: [just saying his name like you literally never have, then after, saying 'I've never done that before'

#matching] Janis: [fussing after him like he has] Jimmy: [just having a drink like he's so tough and not at all a soft boy] Janis: [looking through your phone then grinning at something on socials 'I've got a surprise for you'] Jimmy: [just looking at her like ?] Janis: [showing him a snap from the girl to her story about her parents coming home and freaking out 'cos trashed 'text 'em, when I was doing the music' more of a surprise for you gal 'cos you're buzzing but sure] Jimmy: [SUCH a genuinely happy grin, we're falling in love again over here, cos the bae is so impressive] Janis: ['literally no chance of her hitting you up for a solo party now, even if she had no shame, like' grinning back 'cos he's so cute] Jimmy: ['as fake girlfriend's go, you were a top first pick' because as close as we can get rn to saying you like her 'tah for that'] Janis: ['who was your second?'] Jimmy: [shakes his head because he didn't have one and first place or nowt is forever the motto] Janis: [😏] Jimmy: [nudges her 'alright bighead, shut up' even though she didn't say anything] Janis: 'seen not heard?' raises a brow 'very retro'] Jimmy: ['I'm not my dad' shrugs as if that's not vitally important to him] Janis: ['mores the pity, I'm sure' and going to climb the climbing frame now] Jimmy: [follows her in case she needs a hand/falls off cos it's wet and he knows it'll annoy her and that's the excuse we're sticking with] Janis: ['not closing my eyes this time, you're alright' inspecting other people's graffiti efforts with disdain] Jimmy: [chucks her the pen] Janis: [correcting spelling and crossing out the slander you don't fuck with and writing more that you do like that's better 'Lucas would be so proud'] Jimmy: [takes a picture to send to him 'what were his @ again?'] Janis: [genuine 🤔 'something about virgin schoolgirls, can't quite remember'] Jimmy: [exaggerated sigh like ugh fuck's sake 'there's loads of them' but then shrugs 'you'll have to show him'] Janis: ['got a date for 3 weeks time, ain't we' shrugs back] Jimmy: ['you have' cos we're not expecting to be here] Janis: ['he wishes it were solo'] Jimmy: ['you can keep Bill's ghost for a chaperone'] Janis: ['well helpful, him' shakes her head 'end up a ghost before the first session is out myself'] Jimmy: ['what's the matter with that?'] Janis: [little laugh, 'no offense, ghost boy'] Jimmy: ['I get it, reckon undead is better than dead dead, do you?' like that's the kind of snobby vampire she is] Janis: ['don't you?' and LOOKS pointedly at all the lovebites she's done] Jimmy: [looks at her like you have your moments but then LOOKS at her and where they were in their little den like so do I] Janis: [nudges him 'shut up'] Jimmy: [🤐 mime] Janis: [looks down at the den 'don't be hasty...' and mimes unzipping his lips but climbing down like you got somewhere to be] Jimmy: [follows her being deliberately quiet about it lol] Janis: [turns 'round like 'scuse me but when we put out our hand to stop him, we leave it resting on his chest 'where you going now?'] Jimmy: [just looking at her hand and back up at her and then at her lips but we all know he isn't reading them] Janis: [moving a bit closer, putting our other arm 'round his shoulders, 'it was annoying, having to ignore you and talk to other people-' moving closer still, 'til your face is right up in his '-when I'd rather be not talking with you'] Jimmy: [doing that thing he always does where he pulls her closer somehow whenever you think they're as close as they can get] Janis: [whispering even though there's no need bar

house because it's literally over the road even though it's the last place you ever wanna be and then looking back at her as if you'd never looked away and nodding] Janis: [shrugs like it's really casual 'no bus back my way now anyway, so I weren't going home'] Jimmy: [takes her hand and leads her back to their little den and around it like he's doing a house tour because he's a nerd] Janis:

•••
Ever since that fateful day all those weeks ago (it was only 5, but it’s felt like an eternity), you and Janis have been dating. But for all your parents know, nothing has changed.
You’ve been going about your life as normal, attending church and helping out, spending most of your time at home. But every once in a while, you’d tell your parents that you were going to your friend’s house when really, you were going over Janis’s house for movie nights or painting sessions.
One night, Cady and Damian had left, leaving you and Janis alone in her garage as some random rock song floats through the space as Janis works on finishing one of her latest paintings. You were minding your own business, doodling on a random piece of paper, when Janis finally breaks the silence.
“Hey, Y/N, have you thought about coming out to your parents? Like I know you are virtually terrified to do so but have you thought about it recently?”
You didn’t respond for a good few minutes. You sat there, completely still, just staring at the painting in front of Janis as you spiraled. You had thought about coming out to your parents but you knew that no matter what, it wasn’t going to have a good outcome. So you muttered a “no” before returning to drawing, but your hands were shaking now so you put the pencil down and sighed, pulling your knees up to your chest.
Janis paused before turning to look over at you, putting her paintbrush down and plopping herself down next to you. She took your trembling hands in hers before talking. “Listen, you know I’m with you no matter if you want to come out or not. But I think, and this is my opinion, I think you should come out. They’ll find out one way or another at some point so why not now?”
You glared at Janis, while also willing the tears that were starting to rise in your eyes to go away. “You know I can’t, Janis. They’ll never talk to me again and I can’t have that.”
One tear slipped out without permission, Janis quick to reach out and wipe it away. She squeezed your hands in reassurance. “What if I talked to them? You tell them and then I convince them. I mean I convinced you that being gay was okay and look where we are now! And if things go south, I’ll bring you back here and you can stay with me for as long as you need.”
Your eyes softened. It wasn’t too bad of a plan and Janis was willing to do all of that for you, you couldn’t pass it up, could you? You nodded. “Okay,” you whispered before repeating yourself a bit louder. “Okay, we can do that.”
You paused before continuing. “Thank you, Janis. For everything. I couldn’t ask for a better girlfriend.”
You moved over before hugging Janis, wrapping your arms around her neck, your legs around her waist, and nuzzling your head into her neck. She quickly wrapped her arms around you before whispering, “Anything for you.”
Over the next week, you and Janis prepare to come out to your parents. Day after day, you come up with ideas, each one honestly worse than the last. You then decided that it’s probably best to simply sit them down over dinner (with Janis as well) and come out then. And then that fateful night came.
The four of you were sat at the dining room table, your hands beneath the table, playing with your fingers and tapping your foot. You were riddled with overwhelming anxiety. But you knew this had to happen, so you exclaimed that you had an announcement before dinner started.
“There is something important that I have to tell the two of you. It’s not something you two will be very happy about, so be prepared? Also, you can’t interrupt; please, please wait until I am finished to say anything.” You took a second to breathe before speaking again. “Mom, Dad, I… I’m gay. And I know, I know! In your eyes, it’s wrong and now I’m an abomination and you probably want to send me off to conversion therapy or something, but whatever. I’m gay but I am still the same person I’ve always been. So go ahead and hate me because I’ve learned over the past month that I shouldn’t be ashamed of who I am and that no matter what, there will always be people who love and support me. You can choose whether or not you want to be those people.”
There were tears streaming down your face by the time you had finished. You stood up from the table before looking to Janis, her giving you a small smile, before you walked away and up to your bedroom. Whatever they had to say, you didn’t want to hear it.
But Janis sat through it all, picking at the food on her plate in front of her. Your dad was the first to say something. “She’s joking, right? She knows how I feel about the gays and here she is, going against everything I stand for! She’s sick! I can’t be living with a daughter who wants to go have sexual relations with other girls!”
Your mother simply stared at the wall in disbelief. “I can’t believe… we have to send her to therapy, right? And she can’t come back to the church, I would be ashamed to be there with her. An abomination of God.”
Janis wasn’t having it. “Excuse me? I don’t mean to be rude or anything but all this stuff you’re saying? You do know it’s about your daughter, right? You gave birth to her and raised her, you’ve loved her all her life, how could you change just because she likes girls? Within the short span of time that I’ve known your daughter, I’ve learned that she is so kind and considerate and absolutely wonderful. That’s what matters. Not who she wants to love. Who cares if she wants to date a boy or a girl? We’re all human, aren’t we? Y/N came to me to help her come out. She’s been dreading this day for weeks because she knew that you would react badly. She was terrified of her own parents. Do you know how bad that makes you look? She knew you were going to completely destroy her life if she told you she was gay. And I’m not having it. I told her on the first day I met her that family is what you make it; family is the people who love you unconditionally. Right here, I don’t see that. So what I’m going to do is have Y/N come stay at my place while you two think this through, and hopefully, this will be our last encounter like this one. Have a good night, Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N.”
Janis got up from the table before walking outside for some fresh air. Her face was flustered and anger was rushing through her veins. She texted you to join her outside with a bag of her things and within a few minutes you were outside, wrapped up in your girlfriend’s arms. “C’mon,” she whispered. “Let’s go home.”
That night, you were welcomed into Janis’s home with open arms. Her mom promised to let you stay there as long as you needed, whether that be a day or a few months. Either way, you were glad to be in a safe house with people you knew were glad to have you.
Janis led you into her bedroom, placing your stuff in a corner before the two of you got ready for bed. Janis jumped into her bed before patting the spot next to her, calling for you. You crawled in next to her, her arms immediately wrapping around your torso.
“Thank you, Janis. It’s going to be a long, painful journey but I’m glad to have you here to help me.” You had a sad smile on your face, before leaning in a pecking Janis on the lips. You nuzzled into Janis’s touch, her chin resting just above your head.
It took awhile for you to fall asleep that night. Your mind was spinning with thoughts. There was such a large chance that your parents weren’t going to accept you. There was a large chance that you were never going to go back to the life you had. But for tonight, you were going to pretend that it’s just you and Janis in your own world. Your mind finally eased as you slipped off to sleep.

(i felt the need to include janis saying “let’s go home” as they left the reader’s house because that was no longer her home because her parents weren’t welcoming to her; that was simply a house she lived in. her new home was with her friends, the people who loved her for her)

Stef Chura Interview
Stef Chura
Photo by Ashley Schulz
Stef Chura’s debut studio album, ‘Messes’, is born of her years of experience playing around the Michigan underground, setting up DIY shows in the area, and moving around the state. With her compelling songwirting there are worlds of emotion in the ways Chura pronounces phrases with twang and grit, alternatingly full of despair, playfulness, and abandon. Chura calls her music “emotional collage,” eschewing start-to-finish storylines in favour of writing intuitively about feelings, drawing from experiences and references related to a certain sentiment. Through intricate guitar work and warm, textured production, ‘Messes’ finds Chura trying to make sense of life’s ups and downs… We talk to Stef Chura about working with Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo, self-discovery and serial killer podcasts…
TSH: Having had time to reflect on your debut record, ‘Messes’, does this album feel like a snapshot in time for you now?
Stef: Absolutely. ’Messes’ is a snapshot in time and that’s a great way to look back on the album. I’m really proud of my debut release and I appreciate all the kind words, but I definitely feel a lot of change happening with my forthcoming songs. It’s nice to know that ‘Messes’ has opened many doors for me creatively. When I started ’Messes’ I didn’t have much perspective on the record itself, but now I can see the other side of things and new possibilities. I really had a phobia of making an album because I didn’t know what would come next, but there’s a whole world of different stuff on the other side awaiting.
TSH: Is your songwriting stance for your upcoming work still very personal?
Stef: Well, I do write topical songs but a lot of the music I’m writing is definitely more personal. I feel like I do kind of delve into political themes but I never really follow them through. Overall, my next record will be very personal, and I already have so many songs to choose from - it’s very much a balance of new and old songs.
TSH: Do you still feel that the element of presence unites all of your songs?
Stef: Absolutely. This idea alone is always so important for me.
TSH: How valuable has it been for you to have Will Toledo from Car Seat Headrest on board for producing duties?
Stef: Working with Will has been such a valuable experience, I’ve learnt so much from him. The way that Will works is so different from me, but we still complement each other so well. Will is very much the band member I’ve always dreamed of having on board.
TSH: What do you recall about forming the track ‘Degrees’?
Stef: That song started off as a fingerpicking folk song, it was initially a quieter song. I remember Will really liking that one and he wanted to take a direction similar to Janis Joplin’s ‘Ball and Chain’, which is why it had a little bit of a psychedelic thing going on.
TSH: Talk us through the interesting backstory with the song entitled ‘Speeding Ticket’...
Stef: That was the oldest song on the record and it’s specifically about a lucid dream that I had about a friend that I had a falling out with. You know, I have super bad communication skills and I have no idea how to talk to people. Anyhow, I was very upset that we weren’t talking and I had a dream that felt so realistic about the most mundane shit. We were smoking cigarettes in his car and driving around but it felt so real. There’s also like a metaphor coming into play that I’ve got a speeding ticket waiting for you in my sleep and that’s the only place I can seem to see him...
TSH: Also, this individual having not spoken to you for so long called you and asked if this song was about him...
Stef: Yeah! So he called me and bluntly asked if the song was about him. I simply just admitted that it was... It’s strange because that song is also dealing with the feeling of power struggles and not being able to do anything in certain situations.
TSH: Do you feel the idea of spiritual growth and self-discovery defines your music in ways?
Stef: Yeah, absolutely. I would say that my music is very spiritual, and I am as well. I can be secretive about this kinda stuff sometimes, but it’s really interesting to record a record and listen back on it. In doing so, I’ve learned a lot about myself because all of the songs are about various topics. I’ve been writing from the same point of view for a long time and making this current record is definitely allowing me to grow as an artist.
TSH: You wrote about the Cheeto cat when you were younger too...
Stef: Haha! You know, I can’t even remember what I was singing about. I guess it was just some random mumblings about the Cheeto cat.
TSH: Are you still into your serial killer podcasts?
Stef: Totally. You know, those kind of podcasts are so gross and it’s like watching surgery on TV and wanting to look away. Once you start listening to one of the cases in-depth, you always have to see it through right to the end - even though the details are really horrible. Sometimes my band will be half asleep on night drives and they’ll get super-pissed and tell me to turn it off because it’s so gross, ha!
TSH: How do you spend your time when you’re off tour?
Stef: I like cooking and having time to be by myself. Also, I’ll go back and feel some normality by visiting my parents in Alpena. More than anything, I usually just try to get centred again, I guess that normally involves being social with my friends, even though I do mostly like being alone after touring. Oh, I also love going to the chiropractor. But yeah, it’s pretty slow in Detroit.
TSH: What are the key qualities that you hope to maintain with your music?
Stef: I just want to put something beautiful into the world. I don’t really overthink things too much and I’m just here for the experience. I have no idea what the future holds, but I do have goals to do the best I can do as a musician.
