"You're butch and love your grandma so much." 🥺

Shout out to all the queers attending a candlelight evangelical church service of some kind against their will and good luck to all the ones that came willingly because grandma would love it but can't get through it sober and the edible just hit and they're making you stand for 30 minutes and suddenly the kids are singing Silent Night in sign language and somehow you're the first person to clap despite only ever coming into that building once a year. Why was I the first to clap? Wow they really streamlined the comuninion wafer juice thing into a convenient yet environmentally wasteful packidge. Look at candle and zone out for 10 minutes. Dig fingernail into wax. People are moaning Jesus's name right there next to you in the audience and the lights are up. Dig fingernail into wax. You're butch and love your grandma so much.

do you still write for jj?

ooooh not only do I write for JJ but I kiss you on both cheeks for giving me an excuse to talk about one of my favorite obscure JJ thoughts. JJ x ballerina!reader (gn so technically ballet dancer reader, but you do dance pointe and in a more feminine style in pas de deux so do with that what you will)

They thought you were a kook for the first few summers since you clearly went to school off the island. It turns out you're not, you're just a scholarship kid to whatever fancy school you go to (something that Pope LOVES to pick your brain about since he's dying for a scholarship to his dream college)

at some point or another, there's a hurricane. you end up sticking it out with the other pogues. that's when they notice how... weirdly flexible you are. especially JJ. mostly JJ. it started off small, with you stretching a little while you guys are hanging out in the aftermath since the day after a hurricane is always a free day. JJ looked away from you for like two seconds and you just fuckin... dropped into a perfect split. he's surprised by this obviously, but he's more surprised when you seamlessly shift to a split on the other side, then a center split, bending and moving with impossibly flexibility. then a moment later, you're asking him "hey can you grab my leg?" as you stand up and stretch into a scorpion/needle pose. soon you're dragging him out of the room to "help you with something else." he FULLY thinks yall are about to hook up, but instead you put on this beautiful, artsy, erratic piano music, kick off your sandals or sneakers or whatever, and begin moving like a fucking vision.

you're rambling to him while you dance like it's nothing, but his jaw is on the fucking floor.

"This is the solo I learned last semester," you chuckle while spinning like a little figurine atop a music box, or something in a snow globe, or... wherever else he's seen ballerinas in passing before.

"If I'm rusty by the time I get back, Miss Raine will kill me." you chuckle playfully.

after a few moments, you finish, posed delicately on the ground. you look up at him, your cheeks flushed, your eyes glistening with mirth.

"holy fucking shit," he exclaims, making you blush. "goddamn, princess, that-"

he trails off with a disbelieving chuckle.

"That was fuckin' incredible," he says with a breathy laugh, then nudges you playfully, looking at you more closely like he must have missed something all those times he looked at you and never saw this magical ballet fairy hiding inside you. "you've been holdin' out on me." he teases.

"okay, okay, here's where I need your help." you begin, trying not to get too distracted. you reach out and grab his wrist, holding out his left arm palm up. "I'm gonna run at you like this-"

you demonstrate, taking a step forward. his attention is locked onto you even harder from the moment you grab his arm.

"And kinda... kick my leg around," you do just that, so you're twisted around and facing away from him. he lets out a little noise of surprise. you know it must seem convoluted and ridiculous, but you really need help practicing this lift.

"I need you to wrap your arm around me like this," you say, bending forward with one leg extended behind you, the other supporting you, so your stomach rests on his bicep and his hand holds the small of your back. "And then place your other hand right on my ribcage here."

"oh, my hand will be wherever you want it, cupcake." he says, making you roll your eyes at the (only half joking) innuendo.

"okay." you say, taking a step back. "you ready?"

the first few times you walk through it together are clumsy and slow, a mess of limbs and giggles, but eventually you get it. you call your friends in to show them the bluebird lift you've been working on, even having successfully taught JJ how to lower you and do a few basic steps with you to conclude. you both get through it unscathed, and your friends reactions are very similar to JJ (with only slightly less innuendo and teasing from John B and Pope), and as JJ giggles and demands you come at him so he can lift you again, you start to see a lot of potential in him.

maybe, just maybe, you can shape that potential a little more over the summer. your ballet academy always has scholarships for boys available since they're always in demand in the performing arts. you think there might just be a chance for JJ to do a lot more lifts with you.

Pop quiz advent calendar

It’s over! It has certainly cheered me up at this time of year and I hope it has you too!

Here is to the BBC camera crew doing the Lord’s work

Thank you to all the people who have screencapped, giffed, found recordings, and shared with the fandom the gift that keeps on giving that is Roger Taylor on Pop Quiz!

✨TGCF characters as songs✨

[croik]

I have to ask because I'm terribly confused as someone who has not listened to the podcast: do you like Malevolent or not? I can't ever seem to tell ;;^w^

LOL that's extremely fair! I was absolutely in love with the show up through about Part 17, toward the end of season 2. It always had issues, but the the first two seasons were really compelling and I'm a sucker for Cthulhu Mythos and bodyshare. The bones of the premise are still extremely good.

But from 18 on (we're in part 47 now) the quality has been steadily declining, imo. It keeps repeating the same beats over and over, the plot drags through pointless sideplots and rushes through the important ones, and the treatment of female characters in the show (which was always not great) has gotten worse and more obvious. And there's been some drama around the creator, who is allergic to any feedback that isn't glowing praise. He does not know how to behave as a creator in their own fandom.

But even so, the FANDOM is one of the best I've ever been in. I've made a lot of friends and the monsterfuckery is on another level. The foundation of the main relationship is still unique and fun enough, and the greater mythos so easy to pull in, that I'm still having a blast writing fic, without having to touch any parts of the show I'm not thrilled with. There are so many kind and talented fans writing the nastiest and most character-driven tentacle porn I've ever seen, and that is enough to keep me firmly in the fandom <3

Thanks for the ask! :D;;;

Cuckootober Day 1 - Striped cuckoo (Tapera naevia). You may know him from his funny little dance with his funny little hands.

The 3 months after inside Bo burnham came out was probably our darkest period of media illiteracy as a nation I’m so serious. They need to do some kind of study on it

[retributory]

when you think about it clive and flora are actually perfect narrative foils on complete accident. like what's up with that. professor layton and the completely imagined literary devices

When I was a teenager I felt like an outsider, isolated even surrounded by people. My chemistry teacher once described it as "being on the other side of a fishbowl" and I have never felt so seen and called out at the same time.

Had to drop by and say I am so glad to have found another pervert whose in love with Jackson Lamb.

He’s so fine 😭🫡

God has there ever been finer? Never. James Bond (any iteration) has nothing on this man.
