Check out this show with an infinite number of seasons, they said. It’s fun and casual they said.

After Buck has sex with Tommy—and then after Tommy breaks up with Buck—Buck cannot stop looking at men's hands.

It's because he now knows the way men's hands look on him.

So he's just, like, out here in the world now, involuntarily checking out every damn pair of hands on every damn guy around him—well, other than Bobby's and Chim's hands, of course. Because, y'know, they're Bobby and Chim; they're his family, and that would just be weird.

That's why he gets pretty freaked out when he finds himself checking out Eddie's hands. Because, hey, Eddie's family too, right? So why doesn't Buck feel just as weird about noticing how unbearably pretty Eddie's hands are? Why can't he stop glancing at them and seeing just how damn capable they are? Why can't he ignore how golden brown they are? Why does he have to constantly be thinking about how caring they are? Why doesn't he baulk when he watches them close around a firehose or a bottle of beer? Why can't he help but clock the way they touch Eddie's face so often? Why is he now picturing them touching his face all the time? Why can't he unsee how fucking big they are? Why does he suddenly and very desperately need to know how they'd look gripping his—oh.

Oh.

Oh, shit.

New fic: Twin Friendship (Ivan)

It was a little too much of a coincidence to love two people this similar to both himself and each other, wasn’t it?

Or for his mother to send him to a different school to separate him from Lennon’s distraction, only for him to run into McCartney?

Paul and Ivan agreed that sharing a birthday meant they were destined to be friends, and to Ivan, it meant more: he vowed to take care of Paul, make sure his life worked out this time. Almost as if—almost as if he’d made a promise, before.

John and Paul through the eyes of Ivan Vaughan.

If you have trouble visualizing the way baby Sam saw his parents after the 'Incident',

imaging that somebody you know and love looks like this:

and then in a flash like this.

You're welcome.

(If you're curious: it's John Reese in Person of Interest, and lighting him like that in that episode was very deliberate)

I think we need some quality Maker!Mister Fantastic x Malice!Invisible Woman fanart. Maybe a what if story where they're a villainous power couple, lore/canon be damned.

“Patriotic Education"

(From Trump’s executive order “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling”)

“The purpose of the textbooks went beyond facts; the commissioners hoped “to instill in [schoolchildren’s] hearts and minds a greater love of Virginia and a perpetuation of her ideals“. The textbook commission wanted their selected authors to capture the genteel tradition of the Old Dominion known as the Virginia spirit. While the commission never explicitly defined it, one member emphasized the “generous and kindly traits in the Virginia spirit”. I understood. The commission wanted to create educated Christian ladies and gentlemen, who looked at history from a positive point of view without being boastful. The commission told the authors to emphasize Virginia’s right to succeed and above all avoid critiquing slavery. “is the matter of slavery, presented in the very ablest and best light?” they asked. The commissioners directed that the textbook authors “not give the impression that slavery was the cause of the war.“

While the books created an imaginary past, the legislator set its eyes firmly on present difficulties. In 1954, while the authors wrote, the Supreme Court issued his landmark decision in Brown versus the Board of Education, outline School segregation, the Democratic Byrd machines reaction was to lead not only Virginia, but the entire white south in a massive resistance campaign against integration the textbook treatment of the Civil War offered contemporary lessons to all Virginia’s children – Black and white.”

fan of the korean brand of queer bait-ey two male lead shows - yes i love watching twinks falling in love and make out just as much as the next person but watching two unhinged, often older and life weary men (paired with their own twinky 'love' interest) violently and fanatically dedicate themselves to one another in a non romantic but distinctly queer way where their meeting changes the course of their whole lives making them soul mates in a way that is both nondescript but wholly undeniable?

like yeah thats where its at

Happiest of birthdays to you, my precious Bear!! Meeting you has been such an honor and a treasure. Your vibe and your energy are always immaculate, you’re so kind and thoughtful and always out here inspiring me in ways you probably don’t even know! Your writing is literally stunning and plotting our characters has been so immeasurably fun, and i’ll always be grateful for the care and love you always show my muses. I know they’re always in good hands with you, and please know I’m going to spoil the shit out of yours. I hope you know that this day is a culmination of 27 years of scrapes and sutures, but every choice has made you this Bear today and I’m so grateful you’re here, i our lives, exactly as you are. I hope you feel so incredibly loved and appreciated today. You’re a stellar human being and I’m so happy to call you a friend!

I cannot see through the happy tears in my eyes…

It's been a whole year, let's see how we did!

Kuro's been grinding through the Ben 10 Breakdowns, covering over two seasons of Omniverse!

We put together FIVE episodes of 5 Years Later: The Motion Comic.

This batch was insane! Paul Eiding Returns, the "Remember - Ember" Cover, the debut of Future Fenton, and one hell of a cliff hanger! This series will be a big part of our legacy.

Remember when we struggled to get just one out each year? This time, we did THREE! With quality that's miles above Season 1. Lots of fun guest stars, too! We're very excited to wrap up the Zs'Skayr Arc next year.

"But, Ash!" It was a great year for The Drawing Matrix, as well. Ash finished ALL of the Prime Continuity aliens, with the final episode of Ultimates Overhauled dropping next week based on the 2016 Reboot!

Looking for laughs? Fro's new series gave us a fresh new take on what's possible with our content.

We had a few odds and ends kicking around, too. We made FOURTEEN videos on various topics, each done with unique love and care.

Kuro returned to regular streaming. You can catch him Tuesdays @ 2:00pm EST and commission him through the doc linked in the description of each stream!

Kellen & Kuro held TWO special streams jam-packed with phenomenal guests. It was a pleasure getting everyone together!

Ash has been blessing us with Shorts here and there, all edited by himself. Add that to his skillset!

We're blessed with hundreds of supporters on both Patreon & YouTube Membership, the latter which only launched this year for the first time. Your support goes a long way!

It's easy to forget we have a second channel, The Rust Bucket, though we try to mention it as much as we can. We still made time to throw some goodies on there!

We spread our wings across many videos - we did so many collabs, it's hard to count them all! You may see up pop up just about everywhere, and will continuity to play our part in keeping our community strong.

Happy Holidays!

And Beyond Finale ! 👀

💡 Guys, I have a big idea !!!! 💡

Disclaimer; the video and art is the property of the 5yl crew, I only use it since Kuro said in his videos using their stuff is oke! Regardless, these are only visual representation, these theories are not any way cannon to 5yl or And Beyond!

In this video👇O.R.Ash and Kuro breaks down the And Beyond episodes. At time code; 1:25:00 Kuro asks why Terradino was the first, and Ash, in his replay mentions because he wanted to expand the AF aliens, as they got kinda the short end of the narrative...

At the time of writing this, there are 6 And Benonds (from 13, which includes the Ghost zone, Legerdomain, Vegeta and Krypton; unlikely candidates, so 6/10 practicly) which is a big part of the seria (7 if you add Rath to the mix, more about that later!

Which leaves us 4 AF playlist

Alien X

Chromaston

Spidermonkey

and Goop !

3 of these got homewords, which were even explored! (Which was said is a factor in term NOT to get an And Beyond - Videogame ones excluded!)

Which would live only Goop's 🟢 homeword, Viscosia! My bet is that the finale will include that !!! 😁

+Bonus!

Remember, I said Rath ?! If they were give Goop a Homeword, only AF alien left out would be Lodestar's place, Maxwell (note that Nanomech is an artifical creation, so he has non... Or technicly Earth, but it's very unlikely they do that here). I think they might include this! This is purly speculation, but;

It said Goop's original home planet got destroyed, so Viscosia is not the original. If you look close, Goop and Lodestar show a few similarities; mainly humanoid body, with petrudions on their shoulder, and has a metalic thing that controls them (G- AGP, LS-his head). Also, Ash played the idea of Ult. Lodestar having ferrofluid parts...

It's specilation, but I could make the chase that they are originates from the same species originally, but one retrained more of their liquid form, while the other shifted to a more solid state...

As Goop being my favorite, I hope I'm right. Thank you for reading, see you at the finale!

Onward! 🛸
