Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
"I just really wanted to explore both of those characters and I wanted to do it in a way that I hadn't really seen before, and also just like as a queer person I want to make queer art and that's what I'm drawn and that's what I'm interested in. So I kind of had these two different ideas, it was like one idea was that I would write a book about this rebellious first kid who's like figuring out that they're queer and what does that mean for their like political aspirations; and the other was about you know sort of a member of the royal family under all of this pressure to carry on this legacy and like what does that mean if they're gay. Um-And I'm just like kind of weighing these two different stories and deciding where I wanted to go and then I just kind of had this moment of like What If I didn't have to choose and it was the same story because they fall in love with each other? And-Um-You know in a classic bisexual fashion I was like I'm gonna have both, so I did!"
"It was really important to me that Alex was explicitly bisexual because like, you know, I really wanted the representation of like this bisexual character and then it was important to me that he was also Mexican like he is in the book and that he was played by a Mexican actor. (..) It was really important to me that, um, I didn't want any, I didn't want Alex or Henry, no matter how their stories were translated to the screen, I didn't want either of them to have any type of, um, like shame or resentment towards themselves for being queer, it was really important to me that the stakes of their lives and their like inner conflict was much more based on like the circumstances that they're in. It's like they don't hate themselves for being gay-or for being bi-they just wish that it was easier to be who they were in the world that they live in."
"..Taylor embodies that so beautifully. (..) I think he's just killer in that role. And Nick, I mean, if you like turned me upside down and shook me like he would fall out my brain as Henry (..) doesn't have blue eyes but they sure are sad eyes and that is exactly what they need to be."
"I see myself in Alex, tremendously, I'm very much in Alex, I relate to him so much, uh, truly, I think he's the most like me of all my characters."
"I very much would love screenwriting to become part of what I do, I'll say it that way."

(Original ask): Hello 😊 I absolutely adore everything you do for the characters you write for! You get the interactions and such perfect every time I read something new 💕 I have a personal headcanon, not full blown request if you don't want it to be, question for you. If you could romance the companions in New Vegas like in 4, what would some of their lovers embrace quotes be? I love how you think and can't wait to hear what ideas you have for any of the characters ❤ have a good day
So I didn't actually get any requests for these specific characters that I can remember, but I had this in my WIPs folder, and had a good time looking back on them, so here they are!
As always, if you would like me to add any characters to this, please let me know, and I'll be happy to 😊
Also, here's a link to my first Lover's Embrace Quotes post with the FO3 and FNV Companions.
Just a heads up, too, a bit of nsfw below the cut (nothing explicit, but definitely some implicit stuffs).
Fallout 4:
Codsworth:
“Prepared to face the day, sir/madam?”
“Oh my, now that was exciting!”
“Your hair, sir/miss. Allow me to fix it for you?”
“Good morning, sir/madam!”
“My, you are truly amazing, my sweet.”
Deacon:
“Whoa, when did you get here?”
“Up for one more round? No?... Yes?”
“Just another minute. Then we can kick some ass or whatever.”
“Gooood morning! And it is a beautiful day out in the Commonwealth, the weather is looking mighty fine in this– Oh, you’re up? Okay, just making sure.”
“Up and at ‘em, right boss?”
“Wow. That was fun.”
Maxson:
“Sleep well?”
“I’ll take that over morning drills any day. No, I don’t need you to tell Kells that.”
“Head’s still swimming…”
“Don’t make me get up, not yet.”
“Damn… Incredible.”
Nick:
“Can’t take my eyes off you….”
“Ain’t I the luckiest synth there is?”
“Say… where’d my cuffs get off to, doll? May need ‘em for later.”
"Well, that's one way to get the coolant pumping." (I know this is already a line of his, but I mean come on. It's too good not to use)
“What do you say, about ready to go?”
“That sure was somethin’, sweetheart.”
Sturges:
“Mornin’ gorgeous/handsome.”
“Ain’t nothin’ better than wakin’ up like that.”
“You really are incredible, you know that?”
“What a perfect way to start my day… wakin’ up next to you.”
“*whistles* That was somethin,’ baby.”
X6-88:
“Good morning, ma’am/sir.”
“Awake quite yet?”
“Damn.”
“Sleep well, ma’am/sir?”
“I… Didn’t know I could feel like that…”
Fallout 3:
Mr. Burke:
“I suppose there are worse ways to wake up.”
“Care for some coffee?”
“Just a moment more, sweet one.”
“Ahh, you vixen/scoundrel.”
“Just turn over. It can’t be time yet.”
Harkness:
“Starting our day off right, I see.”
“It can’t really be time to get up, can it?”
“Mm, good morning…”
“What’re you… Oh? Well, a few more minutes, then.”
“Babe, have you seen my handcuffs?”
Sarah Lyons:
“Up and at ‘em. Come on.”
“Oh, good, you’re finally up.”
“The others better not have heard us.”
“Quit your groaning, it’s not that early.”
“Best to have a shower after all that.”
Fallout New Vegas:
Benny:
“Ring-a-ding, baby. Time to rise.”
“Easy there, squeeze. Save some for tonight.”
“Can’t be time yet. Stay here awhile, lemme hold ya.”
“Geeze baby, you wear me out.”
“24-karate, pussy cat. Just platinum...”
Colonel Hsu:
"Right, then... Up we get."
“Well… that was an excellent performance. Top marks from me, private.”
“Rise and shine, love.”
“Now that was worth waking for at this hour.”
“Wish we had a few more moments…”
Joshua Graham:
“Just… divine.”
“Care to pray with me this morning?”
“Wake up, dear one.”
“Praise be to Him who lights the sky…”
“Ahh… still, your love heals me.”
Ulysses:
"Be slow, beloved. We can take our time."
“Another sunrise…”
“Time to wake.”
“So… It wasn’t a dream. Hm.”
*huffing* “Need another rest after that.”
Victor:
“Shoo, didn’t know you had that in ya.”
“Where to today, pardner?”
“You look like I dug ya outta that grave again, hehe. Only teasin’.”
“Well, how-dy.”
“Mornin,’ pardner. How’d you sleep?”
Vulpes:
“Awake at last? Good.”
“Mm. Expect the same from me tonight, courier.”
“Ave, amica mea.”
“Ah, to hear my name sound from your lips… A fine sound this morning.”
“Expergiscimini. The sun has risen.”
Yes Man:
“Wow, Six, that was the best way to start the day!”
“I sure am glad to have you by my side.”
“Rise and shine!”
“What a great morning it is!”
“Boy, that sure was fun! Ready to make a difference today?”
one of my fav dynamics is the blond, popular boy and his social outcast dark-haired boyfriend like Arthur and Merlin, Nick and Charlie, Achilles and Patroclus- there are so many
Patrochilles reincarnated as Hephaestion and Alexander who reincarnated as Arthur and Merlin who reincarnated as Laurens and Hamilton who reincarnated as Henry and Alex (and also somehow simultaneously as Wilhelm and Simon and Nick and Charlie)
Do you. Do you see my vision ? The great plan the gods have unveiled to me ?
when Alex texted Henry, "yo there's a Bond marathon on and did you know your dad was a total babe?"
