#life outside of NYC

dally one day for unknown reason

Guy Gardner: sometimes nuisance, often great friend, forever ginger, former social worker and teacher, current Green Lantern and... father.

"What the fuck," says Kyle. He was pretty exhausted from his latest assignment, and hadn't even hit the showers or went to bed yet, so he probably misheard. Or was hallucinating.

"What, Jane?" says Hal, like that's a normal fucking thing to say when John suddenly starts talking about running into Guy's daughter.

"What."

"Jane, or RJ, whichever she says. You haven't met her yet?" he continues as he digs through a bag. "You're missing out Kyle, she's a killer cook. Smart girl too, got a massive scholarship when she got into NYU. Might've been top of her class? Aha!"

Here, Hal pulls out a bag of brownies and crows in victory. Kyle's headache only intensifies.

"Oh, life is so good to me sometimes. Kyle, I'd offer, but I value these more than my life, so you're going to have to do all the hard work yourself."

Whatever that means. Hal starts eating the brownies like he's reenacting a vaguely pornographic food commercial. Kyle grimaces and turns away to look at John.

"Since when did Guy have a daughter? I've never heard anything about her," he asks.

"I'm not too sure myself, but I imagine it's been a couple years now. She was about 16 when he took her in, if I'm remembering right," John answers mildly.

Kyle blanches at that because, well, again, what the fuck. It sounded like she was already out of college, or at least finished a degree. That was probably at least 5 years of her being around somewhere.

John must see something on his face, because he says, "We didn't find out ourselves for a while, and only by accident."

"Yeah," Hal adds, slightly muffled. "He'd gone radio silent after a mission, and we were worried 'cause he got pretty roughed up. So we show up at his place and whaddya know! Some teenage girl, and a redhead at that, answers the door with the nastiest look on her face. Thought she'd deck us, honestly. And then Guy rushes out - totally fine for the record - and nearly flips his shit at us."

John gives Hal an unimpressed look.

"Get cleaned up and rest, Kyle," he says. "You'll see Guy in a few days, you can ask him then. It's high time you met her anyway, considering her ring."

"Her what?"

Remembering how someone once brushed off the criticism of v5 being mostly in a single room by saying "most sitcoms take place in a single room!" as if Remnant isn't an entirely new world with unique landscapes and cultures that should be explored

Trying to book a new tattoo like hiiiii I have $700 how big can we go :3

[moonlightfilly]

the author of the book i’m reading has such major beef with Ireland, but instead of showing us its flaws in a natural way, he’s just repeatedly hitting us over the head with a hammer and making every single character literally express over and again that Ireland is a backwards, hateful place that never changes

Re: tags of last post

Idk how I forgot but also our front doorknob fell off at the NYC place and we got locked in because of the slam lock, which we then had to disable because our landlord wouldn’t fix it. So you could either pull the doorknob to open it and come in or you were deadbolt locked out no in between

[onthehighwaytomel]

Hey...hey. Is it just me, or has shit kind of been a lot lately?

I have so much to do and deal with and the noise just keeps getting worse outside and my nervous system CANNOT handle it. I just want to run away and rest in a quiet place for weeks and not be responsible for anything.

As an ex fan of James Somerton I am livid

Currently I'm watching Todd in the Shadow's video on all his incorrect facts and the one that really got me was Somerton's rant on the "boring gay" activists of the 90s. While I'm not perfectly versed in the history of queer rights activists (even though it's been an interest of mine for years) my uncle was one of the people on the front lines of the movement in NYC in the 80s and 90s. He's a journalist, author, documentarian, and activist who's spent a massive part of his career covering the gay rights movement and gay history. (To the point his documentaries have been mentioned in a Somerton video actually)

I've spent my life as a young queer person absolutely idolizing this man. He literally fought for my right to exist, and yet Somerton discredits all of the work he put into the cause under being a boring queer who didn't sleep around and just wanted to join the military.

My own flesh and blood and DNA has had to watch so many people he loved die. He fought for so many things in his young queer life and even now is continuing to bring attention to current lgbt issues. I sat down for an interview with him (a few years ago at this point) and during that conversation there was a moment where we got into the topic of the trans rights issues going on across the US right now. Even outside of that, he continues to speak out and bring light to LGBT problems outside of the United States.

My uncle has been banned from countries, lost countless people he loved, and fought hard for his marginalized community. So have so many others. And Somerton dares to reduce them to "the boring ones" and not "the survivors of a plague."

So from the absolute bottom of my heart, James Somerton, fuck you.
