Grover and Percy are so close and casually touchy with each other that whenever they all hang out together people usually assume that Grover and Percy are dating, and Annabeth is just their friend that tagged along for the day.

It doesn't help that Percy calls Grover "babe" so much and that they're always holding hands and that sometimes Grover will step in front of Percy and pull his arms around him while they're looking at something.

Annabeth observes from a very close distance, half-wondering if she should be jealous or not.

This is something I thought of suddenly: So when the Actors-on-Actors roster came out, I didn’t have that much of a problem with Taylor being paired up with Joey King. It was kinda odd to have two close friends who are now doing very different projects put together, but they were happy and watching Joey King fangirl over RWRB was fun.

But now that I think of it, it was such a missed opportunity not to put Taylor with Jonathan Bailey. 

(Gonna preface this by saying I know far less about Mr Bailey than Tay, I skimmed through Fellow Travelers, Bridgerton S2 is on my to-watch list, and as a fan of Wicked the Musical I have complicated feelings about the movie adaptation)

The thing that is so often brought up with RWRB is that it’s a queer rom-com, it’s a queer love story with a happy ending. The relationship itself does not need to be sacrificed. In fact the whole Kensington confrontation is proving exactly that: they are in a position and point in time where they don’t have to give up on their love and relationship for the sake of other aspects of their lives, they can “find a way to love each other on our own terms, no one else’s”. Many people, including the core four of the movie (Matthew, Casey, Taylor, Nick) have said that this is something that made this movie stand out from other queer productions, something that the world needs. 

Fellow Travellers is almost the exact opposite: it is exactly about the periodic queer struggles. It is about the lavender scare when any queer members of the US government were deemed national security risks, and were subsequently dismissed from their stations. It is about the AIDS epidemic that led to the devastation and discrimination of queer communities. It is about a closeted man who chooses to submit himself to a lavender marriage, but who also can’t let go of his one true love. If RWRB is the idealistic future that we’re trying to build, then fellow travellers depict the dirty, gritting, tragic reality of the past. 

And here’s the thing, as Matthew said, both types of queer stories are important, both kinds of queer stories need to be told. We need to acknowledge the bad parts of the past, as a reflection of society, as a reminder of history and the progress made, but we also need to imagine the wonders of a better future, as a target for society, as a vision for the progress to make. 

And it would have been so interesting to hear the conversation on this contrast between the main leads of two very different queer projects. 

Additionally, another thing they can compare is queer intimacy on screen, because again, the intimacy of the two projects are vastly different: RWRB made a deliberate point in creating a more gentle, vulnerable, and quiet intimacy in the Paris scene, with the focus being on the characters’ face; Fellow Travellers’ intimacy is far more explicit and wild, much sexier if you will. Again, both have their place in media and the queer community: sex can be wild and fun, but sex can also be sacred and soft. It would be really interesting to hear the similarities and differences between the two experiences, especially since Taylor has done more explicit stuff in Minx (in a heterosexual on-screen couple) and Jonathan has done more vulnerable intimacy in Bridgerton (also in a heterosexual on-screen couple)

There are just so many parallels and points that the two could have talked about! So although I’m still fairly okay satisfied with the Taylor Actors on Actors we got, this is such a missed opportunity to talk about the importance of different types of stories in the queer community.

you know what i’ve never stopped thinking about since i found out about it. during stay gold when soda’s reading the letter out to ponyboy, ponyboy’s got johnny’s folded up clothes cradled in his arms and his face buried in them (like he’s trying so fuckin hard to imagine it’s really johnny he’s hugging, not just his old folded up clothes). and then. And Then. he puts the pile of clothes down on the ground, well after johnny begins singing/he takes the letter and reads it alone, and he puts his hand flat down on the jean jacket, right. right where johnny’s heart would be if he were wearing it. like. hello? that is so incredibly sick and twisted??

to briefly summarise my feelings on jack doohan signing for alpine,

[wolveria]

Never seen a fandom want a character dead as much as they do with Tech

Like, did he fuck your wife or ?

[khawlat]

Look, truth is, there are 24 dukes in this country. This seems to be the only one who can navigate both the upper echelons of high society and shoot someone in the head without worrying about it.

Ocean Deep - Preface

Pain coursed though his body as he sunk deeper and deeper into the ocean. His body struggled as his movements grew weaker and weaker from the pain of his numerous wounds.

He was trapped and he doubted that he would be getting himself out of this one alive, however as he sunk even deeper into the cool water, he only felt relief, relief to finally be away from the horrible creatures who controlled him for the better part of his life.

Finally free, but at what cost?

___

As he swam through the deep ocean near his dwelling, looking for food to restock his stores for the long season ahead, Ghost smelt a sharp stinging scent. That of blood, fresh delectable mermaid blood.

As he approached he laid his eyes upon a graceful body, embraced in a fishing net, slowly sinking to the bottom of the deep, too deep, ocean.

As he swam closer and brought the body into his arms, he was conflicted, he had no need for someone to take care of, to care for, but perhaps this cute little mermaid could assist him in return...

A siren needed an assistant after all, and this little merman would be perfect.
