ask Neil the colour of Andrew's eyes and he could go on for hours using metaphors and adjectives and the exact pantone colour code

but ask him the colour of Aaron's eyes and he's just like idfk shit brown?

this is insanely Kevin coded I fear

“they’re just doing it for attention” understandable i love attention

[foxfren]

“They’d been so discreet for so long, and Kevin had undone it all in a heartbeat.”

re reading aftg and god neil can be dense

[foxfren]

me wanting to build my own library at home:

[foxfren]

neil is such a fake idgafer he’ll go on and on about how he’s so used to death and violence that he’s not affected by it and then a few pages later call riko breaking kevin’s hand “unbelievably cruel”

Review: Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White Rating: 5/5

I said to someone recently that I never think I'm going to like Andrew Joseph White's books based on their synopsis but once I'm actually reading them, I can't turn away. Well, we're 3 for 3 on his books being favourites of mine so I think I can throw that doubt out the window next time. 

This was fantastic. It's about class warfare and growing up trans and disabled in a rural town. It's about how family history can follow you around but also how it can liberate you and give you something to connect with. It's about the absurdities of capitalism and "democracy". It's about the wonders of community and activism. I loved every page.

If you are despairing about Trump right now, read this. It will make you feel better.

A Fragile Enchantment just took book Benedict Bridgerton to SCHOOL!!! You do not harass women about being your mistress after they've said no. This is how you handle that:

Excuse me while I go swoon for a sec over Christopher freaking Carmine.

THERE'S TOO MANY BOOKS!!!! WHY THERE'S SO MANY BOOKS????

I was messaging a new buddy of mine and she made me think of this panel of the supportive voice of reason, Gin, of "M is for Monster." (Great new graphic novel by Talia Dutton @supertaliart, check it out.) So this is my reminder to everyone that your scars are kick-ass, beautiful, handsome, and dashing, and if you're not there in your journey yet than I hope that one day you will be able to view them as such.

andrew dresses up as kevin for halloween one year. brown wig, green contacts, jersey he's swimming in, and even draws the queen on his face with sharpie. and stays in character for the entire night. he will not respond to andrew, you may only address him as kevin, kevin day, or queen of exy. he will not spend the entire night draining the candy bowl like usual and is instead angrily altering between a protein shake and straight vodka on the couch and mindlessly staring at trojan games. he goes on a twenty minutes long tangent about jeremy knox's arms and the roman empire, then calls anyone who tries to stop him (kevin) brutus repeatedly whilst pretending he's been stabbed. and when people stop playing attention to him he chucks exy balls at their heads.

was it originally to prove a point to kevin on how annoying he is? yeah. did he get way too into the character? maybe.

but will he pretend it never happened the next morning? absolutely. he pins it on aaron and never mentions it again.
