6.11/2.09 middle of the night pillow talk. (well, Danny is on a pillow technically) 4 years apart. Danny is still a grumpy insomniac and Steve still finds him extremely adorable.

same yearning, still, after all this time, a holding pattern, the miscommunication trope. Steve desperately wants to spend time with Danny but Danny seems to dismiss any of his attempts while Danny thinks Steve would be so much happier and having more fun without him. Danny's negativity is a self-fulfilling prophecy but so are Steve's abandonment issues. Danny pushes people away deliberately so he'll be prepared for when they get enough of him while Steve leaves when he feels he's unwanted because it's better than being kicked out because he's overstayed his welcome.

they are still afraid to cross the boundary, still fighting about inconsequential stuff because they can't actually get to the heart of the matter, what's really bothering them, where the frustration with each other actually comes from. They assume they fail at co-habitation because they aren't compatible but in truth it's the unresolved romantic tension, all that pining and frustration bubbles up but there's also so much love there that they aren't willing to let go, they try so desperately to make it work somehow...when the solution is really simple. Cross that distance separating them, reach out and reach an understanding. Become that couple everyone already thinks they are.

DIVORCE BEGIN *STARTS CRYING*

very funny to me when people point at ruby and castiel as the obvious intentional parallels meaning that samruby being canon = destiel when like. how it actually went down is anna was supposed to be the parallel but spn hated women too much to have two of them playing a central role in the brothers’ lives at once. what we’ve encountered here is sexism, not gay people.

Hello :))) So, i was today years old when i learned you had a girlfriend (if i’m not mistaken) and somehow it means a lot to me as you’re one of my comfort blog and that i’ve been struggling with my own sexuality for a while. (I hope it does not come off as weird this is really not my intention 😭) So i was wondering if you would mind sharing how you two met as i love hearing about queer love stories coming from real people and not only in fiction (somehow i need to be reminded that yes, it can happen in real life too for me??) If and only if you’re comfortable doing so of course!!!

aww hi anon! first of all, thank you so much for the kind words--i'm so glad to hear that my blog is a source of comfort for you. and also, re: your sexuality--i'm sending you so much love! i know how scary and how overwhelming it can be to still be figuring out your sexuality and navigating your own queerness, so please remember to have some compassion for yourself, and please know that you're not alone.

as for my girlfriend: yes! i do in fact have one, and we've been together for a little over a year and a half now. we'll be going on two years pretty soon, which is all very exciting!

as for how we met: it's all a pretty funny story, because we actually met while we were both in college. and also right during that first covid summer too. we started off as long-distance friends, bonding our love for star wars and writing.

anyways, i totally had a crush on her, although i was trying to play it off most of the time. the fact that we lived in separate cities was another factor too, of course.

fast forward to a few years later, when we've both graduated college. i've just started my first year of law school; she's working at this point. we're still texting and calling each other a bit, and then i tell her, oh yeah, i'm going out on a date with this guy.

and just like something from a kdrama or a movie or something, this ridiculous, lovely woman texts me as i'm boarding the bus for my date. her text? hey, i dreamed about you last night! we were sitting on a park bench together and we were holding hands :)

and of course, at this point, i still have a disastrous crush on her (hence why i spent a lot of time dating all these random guys in my junior and senior year of college, because i was like i gotta just get over this), but anon, that text message was the other shoe dropping on my brain. i decided right then and there that enough is enough, i'm gonna call her tomorrow and tell her i like her, so she can't just say stuff like that anymore because i don't think i can take it anymore.

so we arrange to have a phone call the next day, and we chat, and of course, true to form, i have to have some liquid courage on me (peach soju, btw . . . but turns out, if you're jittery enough, you don't even feel the alcohol, because i still remember every detail). anyways, at some point, we're chatting, and then i blurt out, "i like you."

and she goes, "i like you too."

and i went, "no, i mean i like you more than a friend. as in i like you."

and she goes, "uh, yeah. i like you to do. the feeling's mutual."

and of course, i didn't know what to say to that. like, i swear i was just like "??? what?" because the thing is, i had this whole speech planned out in my head--something like i like you, and you don't like me like that, so i'm sorry that this is awkward, and i can just take care of my own feelings, but i just really needed to say that so that we're both on the same page--

so to say i was pretty stunned would be an understatement! so cue a lot of laughter and flustering, and fast forward to today, with her living with me for the summer (because of course, she'll need to go back to work and i'll have to go back to school once august hits), and we talk about how many pets we're going to have one day (she has this hobby of sending me videos of increasingly exotic animals and going "??? so can we have this as a pet? :)"), and we've talked about what our wedding is going to be like (as well as what our wedding will not be like) . . .

this is just a whole lot of details, but as you might be the first one to ask me about this lovely person on this webbed site, of course i'm going to ramble and gush--but anon, to give you some hope here, queer love is a beautiful thing and it certainly happens.

personally, i would love to go back in time and find my sad high school self and go "hey, hang in there, because you're gonna be lucky enough to finally fall in love with someone who's kind and warm and patient and loving, and she's going to encourage you to be a better person, and she's going to make friends with literally every single stranger on the street (much to your partial exasperation and partial wonder), and she's going to be really bad at staying hydrated, and she's going to take so many photographs of everything, and she's going to make friendship bracelets on your bed, and she's going to almost fight the secretary at a dentist's office for you (while you tug at her sleeve and go come on, i'm fine, let's just go), and she's going to recite and write poetry that you keep both on your walls and also in your head, and her grandma is going to show you the dorkiest photos she has of this silly, lovely, beautiful person who you love."

so: all that to say, anon, i hope that gave you some hope! it's such a long journey for some of us, but i promise that queer love is out there and healthily alive, and yeah, sometimes they're just as good (or even better) than those that you find in fiction :)

looking back at the novel i wrote when i was 14. i accidentally wrote a really interesting pairing with two of these ocs, and i didn't even notice. like i always kinda felt like Something was missing or out of place but could never put my finger on it, but i'm pretty sure it's the fact there's so much built up for a payoff between these two and then it never really amounts to anything special

Insane to me that rescue bots Trex was pretty much just repurposed tfa grimlock. You know they wanted to call him grimlock sooooo bad.

YOU GUYS I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING WONDERFUL-

Okay okay, in If We Were Villains, they put on Julius Caesar. IF YOU REMEMBER CORRECTLY, COLIN PLAYED ANTONY.

Years later, when Oliver gets out of prison, he learns from Filippa that Alexander is currently staring as Cleopatra for his theater company in New york.

The real life Antony and Cleopatra were lovers.

GUYS SHAKESPEARE WROTE A PLAY TITLED ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA ABOUT THEIR LOVE AFFAIR-

ALEXANDER AND COLIN WERE MEETING IN SECRET.

A LOVE AFFAIR.

M.L. RIO YOU ARE A GENIUS.

Just a few favourites, only a couple, I swear (Patreon)

2.09/5.17/6.11 - Co-habitation, the inherent intimacy of sharing a space where you sleep.

This is what these scenes/episodes have in common: domesticity and sharing living quarters for one reason or the other, and, naturally, the UST and yearning that comes with forced proximity and the notion of sharing a roof with your crush, the agony of having the object of your desire so close yet out of reach.

As their intimacy and familiarity grows the space they have to share keeps shrinking, bringing them even closer. First, it was sharing a house, next, a tiny one bedroom apartment, then one hotel room with twin beds, finally, culminating in literally sharing one bed in S10 (not pictured because CBS are cowards) .
