Zidane and Phantom of the Opera in the opening sequence Paris Olympics I love you already

I know people like to make fun of soap operas and the viewers, but like.

My first introduction to queer folk that wasn't the idea of someone being gay as a punchline/misunderstanding/overly sexual being was port Charles and general hospital.

They introduced Aids and Hiv and treated drug users with compassion. The first time I found out about the aids quilt was from that show.

I wasn't even in double digits, watching those shows with my mom and sister, and I learned more about the aids pandemic and impact than I ever learned in school. Those shows were probably my first sex ed, with their storyline especially about stone and robin.

I still remember the nurses ball and the fact that even in a show made to be dramatic, the sincerity and love for queer people was advocated for in a real way, spreading awareness to every viewer.

Tag game! I was tagged by both @sugarysins and @swordbisexual! Thank you both! Sorry it took me a bit to get to this!

Last song: Mordemoth by Lena Raine, best boss music soundtrack <3

Favorite color: Most of the year? Reds or blues, but right now? Burnt orange.

Currently reading: Oh, jeez. Not to out myself as incredibly boring and an absolute killjoy, but I'm in the middle of "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety", by Eric Schlosser. It's a very interesting read about the evolution, politics, and inherent danger in nuclear doctrine.

Currently watching: At this moment I'm watching the Miami/Florida game. Recorded it since I didn't catch it live.

Last movie: Klaus, I think? Such a good movie.

Sweet, spicy or savory: Savory. Savory and a bit of spice, preferably, but savory my beloved.

Relationship status: Single and vibin.

Current obsession: It's (american) football season, babes. I've got the deep mascot lore and I'm ready to watch a season of petty rivalries and schadenfreude, and I hope my rival teams lose every game <3

Hook 'em!

Tea or coffee: Coffee, but like... I'm the peppermint mocha type.

Last thing I googled: "wow fastest way to level 1-60" lol. back on that brainrot, too. lord help me.

Tagging, uh, @fenrisisms, @midnight-octopus, @aurata-luna, @wilchur, and whomever sees this and wants to hop in!

[cementcornfield]

catching up with my mom and this is how she recommends a movie to me <3

[bredforloyalty]

won't translate all of that but it's along the lines of "imagine instead of football it's the circus that's culturally relevant and jugglers and clowns get traded between troupes for trillions and massive tents and theatres are built everywhere for massive amounts of money and politicians talk about how significant circus is for their country culturally and economically and bald men scream their lungs out in arenas while rabbits are pulled out of top hats and circus hooligans wreck the trolley on the way home and the next day men are discussing that one sawing in half trick on circus themed talk shows. that's how ridiculous i find football"

i don't think i've mentioned it, but nightfolk do enjoy sports and competitions. they have all kinds and their names are altogether straightforward: broom racing (nascar on a stick), broom derby (roller derby on a stick), iron alchemist competitions (literally magic iron chef), werewolf football, dueling championships, hunting, talent competitions, basically whatever human passtime you can think of has a nightfolk equivalent - and they're vicious about their teams, especially when it comes to the bloodsport division. every sport has a family-friendly version and someone-gets-killed-every-time version. nightfolk as a whole are more accepting of their natures than humans are, and so have relatively few moral complaints when all the paperwork is filed and the people involved are made aware of the risks. competitions are less dramatic, but no less intense - some competitors can't take the L and end up committing murder. shrug. oh, sports are mandatory in all magic schools ( ex. loux was an expert duelist by the time he was 16 - kind of the only thing that kept him from getting expelled ).

Ok I'm going to like. Infodump abt my crush in the tags bc like. Yeah <:)

[longeyelashedtragedy]

i think this is my favorite part of digestif so far--there’s a lot happening in it, i wonder what the reader will get out of it:

Mason wonders if this is how Frank talked to the women he used to cheat with. Used to. Not anymore—he’s sworn up and down to Mason that there’s no one else now that he can have Mason properly. Mason is all he needs—just Mason and the wedding band that Mason’s felt rubbing all up and down his body so often he barely remembers what it is.

Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon reveals she's expecting second child

So… is nobody wondering who snitched on Pogba?

One guy from Juventus who hasn’t played for months and was benched that day is tested the very first match of the season and I am supposed to believe it was bad luck? And he got the worst sentence ever given? And everyone is “so sorry for him”, the French nt coach, United players, even the Italian antidoping director?

Look I am not saying Allegri is my main suspect but… I will not be surprised if the club wanted to get rid of an injured player impossible to sell on high salary.

Well, if he was part of the traitors at United, it’s fate he was betrayed back. If he wasn’t, he can later become a coach like Guardiola since that stuff does not really matter.
