Benzino is Salty that Coi Leray is the Artist He Never Could Be

Benzino is Salty that Coi Leray is the Artist He Never Could Be

Coi Leray’s energy is off the charts. Her ability to be unequivocally true to herself and win the hearts of fans speaks volumes about her persona. A naturally gifted individual – she personifies what it means to be an artist by maintaining multiple skillsets and versatile traits that make her extremely appealing. Much like the Powderpuff Girls she exhibits wisdom, sensitivity and sex appeal.…

Look at this little self-portrait diptych from October I stumbled across., it’s in my journal right after #shimmershimmer opened @baxterstccny. Looks just like me, no? #calmcoolcollected #lookoftheday #transqueer of course (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYh159FjQh/?igshid=fev86948z6gc

Did Hangman want to be Iceman, or Maverick? Did he even want to be either? Why was it your voice in his head that seemed to ask him these questions?

Oh? 🫣

"You need to let me in-" his voice rings deeply, more urgent. The tone, you realized, is as rehearsed as the smirk he wears when he wants something. Part of the persona of Hangman the Pilot. It sets you off. "First of all, asshole, this is my home. I don't take orders, you have no rank here. This isn't the Navy." Your own voice is stern. Steady, even, cold. You don't move.

Go off, tell him 👏🏻

"What could you possibly be busy with right now? Wait- is someone else here?" He asks, eyes narrowing. Jealousy rises in his throat, his eyes darting between you and the sliver of the home he can see inside.

The audacity 🙄

"First off, its none of your fucking business why I can't be at your beck and call. Im not your girlfriend, Jake. And, even if I was, I wouldnt just drop everything at a moments notice. I've got a major deadline tomorrow and I'm behind. I don't have time tonight." You know you don't owe him an explanation, but you give him one anyway. His lips part, as if hung up on the next thing to say. The ego check he's been needing slips from you before you realize.

Give it to him!! He need so be put down a notch Jesus

"You're right. I'm not. I'm sorry." He says, stepping back towards the edge of your porch, hands in his pockets. He looks for a long moment at your scowling expression as you guard the door. Once again, the woman before him is not taking any of his shit and making it known loud and clear. The ego check he needs. A smile, the genuine one, plays slightly across his face. "See; this is why I like you."

I love that he appreciates an ego check, even if it's a little rough

"What do you really want, Jake?" Your own posture softens, opening the door wider. He can see a stack of papers and the blue glow of your monitors at the kitchen table. It's a glimpse into your life, you as a person, that hits him square in the chest. You weren't just a woman who existed just to serve his needs. You existed in places that had nothing to do with him. You had your own challenges.

I really hope that realization hits him square in the chest

"I just...I need to get out of my head. Today sucked. I thought-I hoped-you could distract me. I needed to get off base." Jake's voice is even, but there is unrest in the way he shrugs and shifts his weight from foot to foot.

🥺🥺🥺

"If--if you need to get out of 'the bubble', you can come in and just chill. So long as you don't distract me."

I get that feeling

There it was, admission from Mr. CalmCoolCollected that something was deeply bothering him. You were glad that he got to talk to someone about it. But why did he come here?

🤔🤔🤔

"Yeah. I was on the phone with my cousin, talking through my existential crisis."

*my best friend instead of my cousin but such a mood lol

Nothing happened between the two of you that night.  Everything happened between the two of you that night.

🥺🥰🥹

The Interruption

Part I: The Dry Spell

Part II: The Dinner Date

WARNINGS: Angst to fluff.  Mentions of sex.  Swearing.  Mentions of death.  

.   .   .   .  

Admiral Kasinsky had died. Unlike some of his colleagues at Top Gun, Hangman had been part of the Pacific fleet for quite some time. He had known the Admiral and worked under him for six years now, and felt the loss was a great man gone too soon. The funeral was on a Sunday. Hangman donned his dress whites. He stood at attention, saluted, and played his role as lieutenant.

The image of Maverick pinning wings into his coffin causes him to lose sleep.
