#(That icon was for ME. It was not for ANYONE else)

I like to call the Jackass group the gayest straight guys you’ll ever see

No cause it could have been the most toxic hyper-masculinity fest but its just... not? Its socioculturally kind of fascinating because its so different from everything else at that time, like it came out of skate culture but also gay icon Rip Taylor shows up in every movie until he passes away?

Beyond that, what they're engaging in is very clearly kink. Regardless of whether or not its sexual, it's kink. They consent to hurting and humiliating each other and after they all laugh together?

Chris Pontius is also almost always wearing nothing but a thong and none of the other guys seem uncomfortable with that? They don't seem to be guarding themselves against accusations of homoeroticism and by bringing actual gay people (like Rip and John Waters) as friends they're explicitly accepting queer people in their fandom.

These were a bunch of (at least assumed) straight men openly embracing VISIBLY gay men in the early 2000's, which is actually pretty radical. Like it was not something that would get you any sort of cred at that time, if anything it was the opposite of what anyone would think their audience wanted. It was all 'no-homo' at that time, and these guys were shocking each others balls and putting stuff up each others asses on tv, without ever once pausing to posture their straightness. And as a result it's super unsurprising to me that they now have a lot of queer fans!

I think in a lot of ways Jackass is doing what John Waters does with his filmography, so it makes complete sense that he would make friends with Knoxville. They're both doing this kind of pushing of the boundaries of what is "respectable" or comfortable for a mainstream audience to watch is (at least according to Waters) a fundamentally queer way of making media. It rejects hetero-normative cultural standards about what should be seen on tv, stuff that gets talked down and rejected not because its doing any real harm (to anyone who isn't consenting) but because straight men are disturbed by seeing other men put their dicks in danger and brand their friends asses.

Actual quote from Steve-o: "We always thought it was funny to force a heterosexual MTV generation to deal with all of our thongs and homoerotic humor."

I'm not trying to say here that they're all actually queer or that Jackass is some sort of humanitarian creation, but I don't think they get the credit they deserve for the queerness of the media they created, and they definitely don't get credited for what I think is a pretty positive kind of masculinity in a time when that was far from the norm.

The Wedding Chronicles - Mattheo Riddle (1)

A/N - These can be read as a standalone set or read after the events of ‘Yule Be Mine - Part 3’. Just some cute drabbles about planning the wedding between you and Mattheo to feed my delusion 😂

:::::::::::::::::::::::

Working out the details

The common room was dimly lit, the glow from the fireplace casting flickering shadows along the stone walls. The scent of smoke and firewhiskey filled the air as your group gathered, sinking into the plush green-and-silver couches, laughter and conversation flowing easily.

Enzo took a swig from the bottle and passed it to Theo, who was already grinning. “Alright, let’s talk about the real issue at hand,” he said, nudging Mattheo with his elbow. “When’s the wedding? Because I need to know how long I have to prepare the best best-man speech in history.”

Mattheo, who had been sitting close to you, his arm draped lazily around your shoulders, smirked. “You’re assuming you’re the best man?”

Enzo scoffed. “Mate, if you pick Draco over me, I’ll hex you.”

Draco rolled his eyes. “I don’t even want to be best man. Too much work.”

Pansy leaned forward eagerly, her eyes gleaming. “Forget the best man, I want to know the real details. Have you picked a date? A venue? And most importantly, have you decided on colors? Because if you make me wear anything hideous, I will hex you.”

You laughed, shaking your head. “We haven’t even gotten that far yet.”

Mattheo, who had been twirling your engagement ring between his fingers absentmindedly, glanced down at you with a smirk. “All I care about is making you my wife. Everything else is just details.”

Your heart swelled at his words, and Pansy dramatically clutched her chest. “Ugh, you two are disgusting.”

Blaise chuckled. “It’s true, though. It’s weird seeing Mattheo like this. I swear, last year he was cursing anyone who even looked at him wrong, and now he’s—”

���A simp?” Theo supplied, grinning.

Mattheo groaned but didn’t deny it. Instead, he tightened his hold around you, pulling you into him more. “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. I don’t care. I’ve got everything I could ever want right here.”

Your friends all exchanged looks, half-amused, half-mocking, but beneath all the teasing, you knew they were genuinely happy for you both.

“Alright,” Pansy declared, “so let’s at least start with whether you want a big or small wedding?”

Mattheo exhaled in relief when you suggested a small, intimate wedding. "Thank Merlin," he muttered, taking a sip of firewhiskey. "The last thing I want is a bunch of people I barely know watching us say our vows."

Pansy, who had been ready to launch into a full-scale wedding planning session, groaned. "You two are no fun. A grand wedding would be iconic. He’s the Dark Lord’s heir, you’re practically royalty."

You shook your head with a smile. "We don’t need all that. After everything we’ve been through, I just want something meaningful, with the people we actually care about. I’m not sure Mattheo wants to boast about his heritage these days either.”

Mattheo pressed a kiss to your temple, murmuring, "Exactly."

Draco, who had been quiet, nodded in agreement. "Honestly, after the war, I don’t think any of us need some massive, public event. Something private makes sense."

Theo leaned back against the couch, twirling his wand between his fingers. "Alright, so where are you thinking? Because if you say Hogwarts, I swear—"

You laughed. "No, not Hogwarts." You glanced at Mattheo before saying, "What about Riddle Manor?"

Mattheo blinked, caught off guard. “Riddle Manor?”

You nodded. "It's yours now. It’s part of your legacy, but you get to make it what you want it to be. Why not start by making it a place of love instead of war?"

A slow smirk curled at his lips. "You’re brilliant, you know that?"

"I do," you teased.

Enzo grinned. "I like it. Turning the Dark Lord’s fortress into a wedding venue? That’s the ultimate power move."

Pansy huffed. "Fine. I’ll allow it. As long as you let me help decorate."

Mattheo chuckled. "You can do whatever you want, as long as I get to marry her at the end of it."

Your friends rolled their eyes at his lovesick tone, but the warmth in the room was undeniable. After everything—after war, pain, and uncertainty—you were finally talking about a future filled with love and hope.

And it was perfect.

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....

Oh yes he would!

One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014

GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017

In fact he already has ☺️

With the Guess the Build crew jokingly asking Skizz if he’s colour blind or if he’s ever taken a colour blind test, I really hope they do make him take one on camera.

Not because I think he’s colour blind (I legitimately think it’s just an object permanence kind of thing) but because I had a phase in 2018 of watching people take colour blind tests and I think it would be interesting.

Holy shit I was just going through my DC tag and why did no one tell me I have a serious problem

I have been continuously drawing DC Fanart since 2016

(If you’ve been following me through my 2017 phase… you’re a real one)

[onetruewolfgang]

a gift I made for @apotheoseity ! Joy is so fun to draw

[campbenji]

so apparently i predicted a small part of kenji's s2 arc with my abandoned s4 fix-it fic which is WILD so here's other things that happened in it just in case i'm right again (kenji and non-kenji related):

sammy and kenji heart-to-heart

darius barely surviving a dinosaur attack (it was the spinosaurus but i think that can't happen now) and driving the gang into such a state of panic

kenji breaks a leg while protecting one of his friends

yaz and darius heart-to-heart about how nublar changed them

nightmares galore

kenji and ben taking care of baby dinosaurs

kenji (responsibly) taking the lead and coming up with a successful plan

ben being a space nerd

older brother kenji moments (overall just a lot of bowmankon brothers moments)

follow-up (now callback) to "i wish i had learned... just about anything before coming here" and kenji pondering on what he has to offer to the team

boys adventure but two of them are pissed at each other and the third one is stuck as a mediator of sorts (originally darius vs kenji + ben, now kenji vs ben + darius)

"you're the only family i have" said by sammy or kenji

benji blowing something up together
