MC’s look me in my face, then their eyes get weak; Pulse rate descends, heart rate increases. It’s like beam me up, Scotty - I control your body; I’m as deadly as AIDS when it’s time to rock a party. And all due respect, when I say “Mic check”, Let a sucker slide once - then I break his neck. So when I say jump, you reply, “How high?” Because I’m takin’ no prisoners, so don’t play hero and die.

Adam Parrish is so Jeff Buckley and Ronan Lynch is Radiohead but when they’re together they collectively become Sufjan Stevens

[liriozinhos]

my favourite trope will always be when someone believes they're hard to love because they have scars and are so human that it feels unreal and someone who loves them like it's breathing, natural, easily, devoted and just. it's lovely. they're just too consumed with love and don't want to stop being half of the other's soul.

okay pynch.

[maryfromwork]

Does anyone else ever think about how both Ronan and Adam definitely listen to Elliott Smith?

[speciouspessimism]

life is worth it because Pretty (Ugly Before) by Elliot Smith is about pynch!!!

Bisexual and hard of hearing!

deaf in one ear AND bisexual—thats hot!!!!!!!

Propaganda:

Well if no one else is gonna submit my son then ig I'll have to! He can be such a lil bitch sometimes but I love him so much. He is a witch. He is a genius. He is insecure.

i have too little brain to make propaganda right now but he is the Most deserving of this award it is an honour to nominate him

Zolf Smith-Rusty Quill Gaming

Qualifications:

Both legs amputated at the knees

Propaganda:

I love him so much! Chill Sailor Paladin Dad my beloved. He's tired, he's asexual, he's biromantic, he's mechanically grief-stricken, he's atheist, he had a messy breakup with Poseidon Himself, he saved the world (somewhat reluctantly) and he's in a QPR with Oscar Wilde. Yes, *that* Oscar Wilde. I actually really love how Ben Merideth chose to portray Zolf's disability over the course of the show. Coming to terms with it is a pretty big part of his arc, and while I'm not the best person to judge here since I'm not an amputee, it felt very well executed to me. He spends a lot of the show having his agency, specifically regarding his legs, taken away from him (nonconsentual amputation from Mr Ceiling, legs he didn't agree to receiving from Poseidon, being forced into making major world decisions he doesn't feel equipped to handle, etc) and it's pretty clear that it's the feeling of powerlessness and lack of agency bothers him much more than the actual loss of his legs. While he does end up using prosthetics for the bulk of the campaign, after the action is done it's made clear that he much prefers using a wheelchair, which is what he does. Anyways. Vote for Zolf he has loads of hitpoints.

Anything Else?:

Your honor I love him

🗯 November Reads 🗯

I didn't read that much this month because I spent most of my time watching (and obsessing over) The Sopranos, but the 6 I read were FABULOUS!

Some thoughts about them (in no particular order):

💕 I FINALLY finished The Brothers Sinister series and absolutely loved it. Which is no surprise because Courtney Milan is a great writer

🎹 I also loved Oh You Pretty Things by Jane Hadley. Set in the 70's, super queer, cool, fun and emotional. I couldn't put it down.

❄️ If you know me, you know that snowed in is one of my favorite tropes and Syncopated Snowflakes by Amber Night has it. Lots of pining, dancing and a cinnamon roll hero, great combo!

❄️ See you Next Winter by Holly June Smith was sooo good, if you read Can I Tell You Something, you need to read this. Childhood friends, to holiday-friends-with-benefits, to lovers??? Yes, pleaseeeee.

🩰 I also read and enjoyed SO MUCH, Plié by A.H. Cunningham, and arghhh, the perfect combination of sweetness, hotness and drama.

⚘️ Natural Enemies by Roan Parrish is a short and sweet story about two botanist that are complete opposites but somehow fall in love. Really sweet

And without meaning to, I wrote mini (really small) reviews of what I read in November 🤷🏻‍♀️

[djevilninja]

Keep it movin’, yes it’s me in the flesh - it’s no illusion; Fuck around and catch minor contusions. Whatever, I’m Smokin’ Joe when it comes to rap; I’m a professional, Tiger Woods - I’m good.
