So… I got a notification from the State Department at like 8 PM Pacific that my passport was approved, and I was quietly thankful and stunned bc my legal gender in Oregon is listed as X, or undeclared, and that's what's on my passport. I'm pretty sure someone(s) worked late to get the X passports done today.

I was already really grateful to whoever in the Seattle Passport Office worked late to get these things processed on the last Friday before That Man gets back into office... and then I got a notification that my passport shipped at fucking midnight Pacific and whoever got that shit out the door so it couldn't be picked up on Monday and like, denied and shredded?

They're my fucking hero.

“Fyp” we don’t do that here. I mean, Tumblr the app and website tries, but we don't do that here.

“But then how will anyone see it?” peer review.

“How do you get engagement?” by talking and engaging with other people. Or making a devastating typo. Either way.

“But—” Listen, you’re not doing solo stand up anymore. This is a group improv class being held in a SAW dungeon. Good luck.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Laurent was picking out his chiton because I need to know if somebody brought that to him as a sincere option or if he had to request it.

Like one minute this poor Akielon attendant or what have you thinks he's going to get eviscerated for suggesting this tightly laced Prince show some ankle and the next Laurent is like "And how much thigh can I justifiably have out?"

Damen being like this over Nik of all people is so funny. You just know Nik's reaction was like

Laurent: My kink is doing stupid shit and watching Damen go through the five stages of grief as he realises that he still wants to fuck me.

[jasper13]

Yeah…what they said.

Seriously, Damen…

Spoilers ahead…

Spoilers…

Spoilers…

Surely I’m behind a cut now

The way he FUCKING REACTED to his uncle’s incredibly pedophilic pets. How he latched onto Nicaise. The way he tensed up any time there was romantic-ness. The way he was *never seen* without being laced up from toes to chin.

And finally the “yes, Uncle,” when he was drunk AF. That was the final moment for me when I went “oh fuck, of *course* that awful man did that. *Of course*, he took advantage of Laurent’s 13 year old grief.”

damen when he realizes he’s not in a slow burn romance with problematic beginnings, but a complex psychological thriller in which the smartest fictional character i personally have ever encountered has decided to make his life a living hell and also they’re in love with each other but the psychological thriller stuff is way more important to his bitchy blonde nightmare malewife and he is SO down bad and just has to deal with laurent’s mean girls 4d chess petty nonsense bc it’s enrichment for him and damen will kill anyone who tries to get in laurent’s way and he can’t even pick up the very very VERY clear implications of laurent’s trauma that would probably allow them to reach some kind of vulnerability equilibrium in their relationship because he is too busy waxing poetic about laurent’s pretty hair to realize that he was [redacted] and that’s why he’s like this

Damen pushed himself up on an elbow, and propped his head on his hand, his fingers in his hair. He saw that Laurent was looking at him. Not watching him, as he did sometimes, but looking at him, as a man might look at a carving that has caught his attention. Meeting Damen’s eyes eventually, Laurent said, ‘Here’s to Vaskian hospitality.’

Definitely not the first time, but one of the more clear moments where Laurent simply thinks, 'oh shit he's fucking hot' and short circuits

Andrew looks at Kevin after the game against the Trojans.

"How does it feel?" He asks Kevin.

"Losing is not pleasant for anyone," says Kevin.

"Sorry," Andrew says without meaning it at all. "I wanted to say, how does it feel to know that Monsieur Misérable and Mr. Golden Smile are fucking together and have agreed to beat you up?"

Kevin turns to him with a growing bad mood.

"They're not having sex."

"D'Artagnan hit you too hard with the racket. You don't know what you're saying."

"They're not having sex, Andrew!"

"New bet then. I say that France conquers California before the end of the year... In two months if Monsieur Trauma takes care of his shit."

"...Jeremy has never told me he's gay."

Andrew remains silent. He turns his head towards Kevin very very slowly.

"300 dollars."

"We're not going to bet on this..."

"500 dollars."

"Why are you so happy to do this?"

"What do you mean, Kevin? I'm a very happy man."

It's impossible to tell if Andrew is joking with that unflappable expression.

And so the betting returns to the Foxes.

I love that this was the moment that made Damen fall for Laurent. Because maybe what you would expect from an enemies-to-lovers story is him seeing Laurent be sweet to someone and changing his mind, but what actually happened was that Laurent dragged him along on a scheme that ended with them kicking flower pots off the roof at their pursuers, and that's when he fell in love.

Laurent is smart enough to know Volo's cap is going to be useful but also ridiculous enough to be willing to wear that filthy hat and to have gambled for it in the first place. He's hardworking and dedicated, he celebrates little victories, and he laughs so hard at Damen being called a "giant animal" that he nearly gets them both killed. That's the part of him that Damen falls in love with first
