So I can't stop thinking about throam!Ryan and Brendon and the AIDS crisis:

When you think about it, realistically they would have been stopped by their management from getting involved in any of the protests and campaigning because they would be worried about the image issues it created. It was such a taboo at the time and people were ready to shun you just by association. It would have killed Brendon, and it would have killed Ryan to see it kill him. So when you dwell on it a bit more, it adds so much more weight to their words in the LA 2012 ficlet where they talk about how they weren't brave and will now be doing what they can to help. Because, the guilt - the guilt - they felt about not doing more at the time of the AIDS crisis still stings them.

We know canonically that William dies of AIDS because it showed what could have become of Brendon if he hadn't met Ryan, and we also know that Anna said she 'never decided' if Ryan went to the funeral. Well, in my head they both went. William wouldn't have been the first person Brendon knew to die, and their management would have stopped them going to the funerals just the same as they stopped everything else. But then, it's William's funeral and Brendon fights back. I'm picturing the sort of Nate-in-the-hospital interaction he had with Mike. And Ryan backs him up but he's not going to go too until the morning arrives and Brendon is just utterly broken and he knows he needs to go, for him. And Ryan stands there digging marks into his palms because all he wants to do is hold Brendon close while they both cry. Because the terror of that era and the heartbreak was so, so real.

And I think, when they get back, it's a bit of a final straw for everyone, how harrowing it is. And Sisky, he makes it the subject of his next book, travelling around and collecting stories of AIDS to publish. It's a not-for-profit and he sends all the money back to research and support. And the 'single' guys in the band and Ryan might not be able to do it but Sisky, Cassie and Jon go together to the protests and marches and stand for them. They stand for Brendon, and Ryan, and all of their friends when they can't do it for themselves.

✩🏝️🌺Review:

I loved every single page of this one! 

“The Paradise Problem” follows Liam West, the heir of a grocery chain, and Anna Green, his free-spirited artist ex, as they pretend to be married in order to receive a massive inheritance. 

Part of why I enjoyed this book so much is because I adored the characters and their starkly different personalities. Anna is very quirky, hilarious, and grounded. I admire her for abandoning a career path guaranteeing security to follow her dreams, even if that means living paycheck to paycheck. Liam, conversely, is an uptight, chronic overthinker who internalizes the pressure he experiences in trying to live up to his father’s expectations and make something of himself. They are truly opposites, but the circumstances surrounding their fake marriage only push them closer together. They learn to open up about their insecurities, acknowledge their irresistible chemistry, and eventually give themselves over to each other completely to survive Liam’s one-percenter parents. Christina Lauren outdid themselves in creating a paradise tinged by outlandish familial drama. The tense atmosphere only made Anna and Liam’s witty, humorous banter even more entertaining. When I tell you I audibly laughed out loud…this book was just so fun to read and I didn’t want it to end despite everything wrapping up nicely!

The branches of the pine trees are drooping down with a heavy coat of snow, and it reminds me of the early sixties when I'd stand on this porch as an entirely different person. I was only a child, my nose cold, watching the snowfall. It was so different from Las Vegas where it never snowed, where there were no pine trees, and the one good thing that my old man ever managed to do for me was to bring me up here every winter. It taught me one thing at the age of six: there was a world outside Vegas.

I have nothing in common with that little boy anymore, nothing but some scrapes of a shared past. Then the music happened, and LA happened, and the band happened, and the drugs and the booze and the women and the paralyzing realization that it couldn't last forever and that it just might kill me before the inevitable end, and every day it became more crystallized that I didn't want what I had gained. I think I'm on the right path now. I think I might be.

Hello I follow Anna green’s Twitter and I can tell you it’s like. Mostly just her talking about making kimchi and how bad she wants to go back to South Korea

Not a slight against the South Korean people because I’m a kimchi hoe but this is my personal 9/11
