Me and kinito, sleeping happily

(I find comfort in him, a lot of it makes me happy, when I was drawing this I was crying a bit because I wish someone could do that with me)

A classic among classics, we’re talking ENEMIES TO LOVERS this week! We get to the bottom of what we think of as “enemies,” and how it differs from “rivals-to-lovers” and “friends-to-enemies-to-lovers” and “friends-to-lovers” (jk, we’ll never understand friends-to-lovers). We revisit some of our very favorite romances, talk about stakes, about impossible situations, and about how sexy hating someone can be.

"Late Night Love" by Octo Octa

MG:

I think “Late Night Love” probably goes off in a club. It has the bones of “Popcorn” in its bubbly, percolating percussion and layers of droning beats for tonal contrast and to anchor the song in time. It’s Casio Krautrock trance music and it’s permissive of the classic oldhead bob, but it also embraces limbs akimbo, flailing like bare branches in a winter gale. I think it probably goes off in a club but I also think that rigidly fusing genre to purpose is like trying to sum somebody all the way up with a couple signifiers and a personality test. It flies in the face of the beautiful, profound absurdity of our existence and it wastes away the polymorphous freedom of creativity at the center of art, the genre that supersedes all genres.

DV:

Sure, I can see "Late Night Love" working in a club, but like MG says part of the fun here is how easily Octo Octa evokes other realms just as strongly. I'm reminded of early electronic music in its bleep bloop loops and progressions, specifically the work of electronic pioneer Raymond Scott. "Late Night Love" could drop into your set if you're playing a basement club at 3:30AM and aren't hitting peak time but need to keep the energy going for another 5 hours. But it could also soundtrack a sped-up chase sequence, or maybe be the bed music for a rube goldberg style series of catastrophes. Basically, if whoever's running the next Looney Tunes reboot hasn't reached out to Octo Octa already they've missed a trick.

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely

like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day

A concept: Late night convo’s with someone that likes you as much as you like them.

Alright, I will start with this one then - everything starts with the glorious revolution and everything starts with the night watch 🌸

Sex is cool but has anyone stayed awake with you just because you are feeling low?

Little Snippets #2

Danny was having a shit day. The kind of day you would wake up and just know things would go so wrong that just rolling over and continuing to sleep would make it somehow better. Alas Danny had gotten up, which to be fair sleeping in the rafters of an abandoned warehouse didn't give much choice, and his day had gone down hill from there.

Which was why he was currently laying in an dirty alley one leg over a tumbled over trash bin his other on some trash bags that did not cushion his fall. His elbow tingled with that weird pain when you hit a nerve and he was pretty sure he had now more than just a cracked rip. Seriously, he hated that he had lost his transformation midair and crashed down because the damned GIW somehow got their hands on Vlads taser technology.

But the weird part was that wasn't even the worst or best part.

Danny dizzily stared at the old man that stood between him in all his fallen glory and the GIW agents. The old man stood there straight well mannered a paper bag, his apparent shopping in one arm and a hand gun -an actual hand gun, Danny had to do a double take to used to the laser guns from his parents and the GIW- pointed at the agents.

The old man said something about having different morals and that he wouldn't hesitate to shot as well as regretting not having his shotgun right now, but honeslty Danny was kind of too shocked to really listen to what the old man was saying.

Seriously, maybe Danny should still have just rolled over and continued to sleep in the warehouse rafters. But he had to admit the old man was kind of badass.

Straight and cisgender people, have you ever had to Google if you’d get arrested at your vacation destination?

If we got to choose our sexuality or gender, we wouldn’t choose to be put in jail, or even GET KILLED.

So many of us are closeted from fear of losing our homes, family, friends, jobs, sometimes even lives.

We don’t get to be who we actually are in over 70 different countries.

We don’t want to turn your cishet kids queer, we want your queer kids to be alive.

If love is illegal, so will our silence

Edit: whatever you do, don’t look at the comments, transphobe had a hissy fit over queer people

But I am so deeply lost in my own soul, how can I expect anyone else to understand me?
