hi i wrote the genderswap klaine fic!!! for @kurtsascot without whom this wouldn't have happened

kurt = keira bc i'm not fond of kate sorry

Keira looked up. “You do realize you’re asking me to fake marry you, right? This is a terrible marriage proposal.” Blaine pouted. “You could just say no.” “This isn’t no, it’s try again,” said Keira, and went back to her textbook.

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

So I saw your list of Halloween fics and the sapphic in 2010s one has me in a chokehold

My first thought was Jennifer’s body yes I’m familiar but then I looked it up and it came out in 2009 to which I said boo

Follow up guess is lost girl or glee or… ohhhhh you said 2010s with an s oh god there’s so many

So I got nothing lol but I’m excited either way!

I am SO glad the sapphic one has you in a chokehold... I will say that yes Jennifer's Body was 2009 so that doesn't fit, and Glee is... not supernatural/Halloween themed in any way? Uhhhh unless I seriously missed something? So that's not it either.

I will also say that while it is based on a sapphic story I'm not genderswapping, which wasn't even something I thought I might have to warn people about until this very second and now I'm paranoid. Although there is some fun, uh... well. Buck's interesting. I'll put it that way.

I'm DELIGHTED that you're guessing, I want people to guess! MWAHAHAHA.

[hevanderson]

i have two gluriverses. one is a genderswap of only the men (save for perhaps klaine but occasionally they can also be lesbians). the other is my postcanon au/hc where like half the glee guys come out as trans girls

So once upon a time, I attempted a genderswap story for the drei ???, and yeah I actually didn't even consider Justicia for Justus, I had a brief moment of, hm, Juno? And then my eyes lit up with manic glee when the thought of "Justice!" entered my mind.

Obviously a very different take than trans!Justus, who might balk at being that heavy handed with her name if she chose Justice, but still funny.

For transfem!Justus, I feel like Justicia would work, mostly because there are some strange connotations with the name Juno, seeing as who Juno is as a person/goddess, and no way Justus wouldn't be keenly aware of them. By going with Justicia, she could keep the meaning of justice as a concept in there, and also could keep her nickname, at least in the German version.

For the American version, it would probably be Juno, or maybe she would go with like something else from the pantheon, some other concept she would connect with.

okay but what name would transfem Justus choose of her own accord

my faves so far are either Justicia or Juno (both could work honestly) or would she go with something completely different?

[tuiyla]

hi :)

this is sort of a strange topic, but i've been thinking about klaine and brittana over the past few days and how their storylines would've been different if say, kurt and blaine had both been girls instead and brittany and santana had been guys. i talked to a couple of my friends about it and one of them gave me this brilliant response to my question about klaine.

so as a brittana fan, how do you think brittana's storyline would have changed if they were both boys instead of girls (maybe popular football players who slept together instead of cheerios?) how would their characters be different? would there be aspects of their storyline that would need significant adjustment?

obviously not expecting as long of a response as the one i linked (unless you want to 😂) but i would like to hear your opinion because i always enjoy reading your takes :)

Hello hello! Oh I love that response, excellent content by @hummels-turn. Can't promise to be as detailed haha at least not now but I might return to the topic in the future and in any case, honoured to have been asked for a Brittana perspective!

I think the big thing is that everything in Glee is so gendered, much more than I've seen fans acknowledge it in analysis so far, and that's doubly true for Klaine and Brittana because of the queer aspects. And then of course Glee's own sexism as a show which, is A Thing, but for this answer I'm just gonna pretend abominations like IKAG didn't exist - we're gonna erase it from existence anyway! Yay, I'm already loving this thought experiment. I’m also gonna assume it’s not a complete gender swap for every character.

This is mostly about background/first two seasons stuff and less a reimagining of specific plotlines and more just a general thought process of how they’d even come to be as an mlm couple. The sections are barely separate thoughts but I needed to break it up somehow lol; I’m long-winded, not cruel. I’ve seen the names Santiago and Brett used for gender swaps before and even though I don’t, like, Love That (because of a Santana/Brett fic that scarred me), I’ll use those names to keep it simple.

Titans instead of Cheerios

I think they’d definitely be on the football team because that’s the most surefire way of keeping their popularity and overall status. They are also still athletic and I feel like the Cheerios was about a sense of belonging, too, so being Titans instead of Cheerios makes sense. There are already differences here because of the inherent contrast between being a jock and a cheerleader cheering for a jock, so basically what all of this is already making me realize is that there’s so much to talk about with Glee and gender dynamics. But I won’t digress, another day.

So Santiago and Brett are both football players and I think it’s interesting if they use their sexuality in much the same way, i.e. essentially to gain popularity but more so a reputation by sleeping around. Only in this version they’re not the slutty cheerleader archetype but more like what Puck is in canon: the stud who really gets around. At least Brett is because Brittany’s (bi)sexuality even in canon is always presented as such a casual thing. She just genuinely enjoys sex and sure, there’s an aspect of reputation to it and there’s much to speculate about deeper issues, even, (”alien invasion” and all that) but it’s not a conscious social status thing like it is for Santana. So Brett is also very sexually liberated and fluid and him being a guy, he isn’t considered a slut because of it. And Santiago also gets around a lot and gets much the same admiration for it but much like Santana, he has a more well-defined albeit on/off relationship with a Cheerio - the Santana to his Puck, so to say.

But here’s the biggie with the gender swapped version: Santiago and Brett simply can’t happen the same way Brittana did. Brittana started out as a thing for the male gaze, both in- and out of universe, and the dynamics of that would be completely different if they were guys. Not saying Santiago and Brett stand no chance and far be it for me to imply that it’s any easier for wlw, but Brettiago(?) can’t work the same way Brittana did. Them making out at parties would come with instant homophobic vitriol instead of being dismissed or cheered on as hot. I think they’d still find each other attractive and might even begin a secret thing like Brittana did but their story would unfold very differently.

Santiago Lopez

Santana’s whole thing is that she can have her cake and eat it: make out with Brittany and still be considered hot and popular, even more so because of it because people dismiss wlw attraction as being for show. And Brittana fully take advantage of that, as seen through their date with Finn. So she has her cake and is kinda with Brittany but eats it too because she’s not out and labelled as a lesbian. Except, eating it makes her so, so miserable in the first two seasons and it comes with comphet (which--- is an essay we’ll get to, as I’ve promised to you and many others lol) and self-sabotage and to the general detriment of her relationships. So it’s not really a win-win, and it’s very far from being that for Santiago.

Because of the differences in how lesbian and gay attraction are treated, Santiago suffers and deals in different ways. Let’s assume he still has Alma as her grandmother and an abuela like that would mess up any nieto. For some reason I have this feeling Alma would feel differently about a grandson, putting him on a pedestal and spoiling him a little but still with the same belittlements that Santana refers to - maybe just more subtle. Basically, thanks Abuela! And her homophobia might be a lot more open and hateful of gay men specifically, which is bound to affect little Santiago. So now he not only internalizes homophobia and externalizes it as anger like Santana did but has the added pressure of being a disappointment to his abuela in a way that’s different to Santana’s fears.

Santiago would know that something’s, well, off about himself but it would be Brett who kisses him one day when they’re hanging out or at, uhm, football camp? If that’s a thing, I’m neither American nor a sports person. So anyway, they start out as best friends much like Brittana did but there’s less open affection because it’s not socially acceptable, so Santiago freaks the f out when Brett acts on the tension that’s been building up. He can’t rationalize it the same way Santana did. It’s not something football players would cheer on, it’s something they would viciously attack. And before I get too deep into the actual relationship, let’s just stay with Santiago for a moment because I think he’d be one of the guys using the word gay to describe things that are bad and as a general insult.

Santana made some homophobic comments for sure but it was never targeted or specific with her, just her general cruelty manifesting. Much like I think Santana does, Santiago would also feel very angry because of the feelings he has to repress and because he knows the world wouldn’t accept him and I think he also externalizes it and lashes out at others. If anything, whatever happens with Brett he’d be that much more anxious and terrified and I think he’d use homophobia as deflection so he’d actively participate in that kind of bullying as well. Basically what I’m saying is that Santiago is much like Karofsky because I still firmly believe that Dave was the male Santana so, you know, makes sense that the male Santana would essentially be Dave. The “homophobic bully is actually just gay” trope has Issues, sure, but in this case and in Karofsky’s case it can actually be traced back to their own internal fight and externalizing that through homophobia as a way of trying to prove something to the world and themselves.

The question is, where does Santiago go from there? Because we saw how his own terror almost drowned Dave and canon Santana is reluctant to vulnerability as is, and I think that’d be amplified with Santiago as a guy who’s taught not to express any real feelings that make him seem less manly. And it was hard enough for Santana to conquer that fear of what people will say - heck, she never actually came out; she was outed. So what, would Santiago also “need to be outed” to be able to exist as an openly queer person? Side note, don’t we just hate how Glee’s solution to both its deepy closeted queer people was to out them and get it over with, only to spend little to no time on the aftermath. Anyway. It depends on so many factors how Santiago’s coming out would go. Santana’s journey relied heavily on the fact that she was able to explore much of her sexuality with Brittany early on and sure, there was a fear there don’t get me wrong, particularly when feelings got involved, but it’s almost as if sex came first, then love. I’d hazard to say it could be the opposite with Santiago because intimacy wouldn’t be as encouraged but he can still quietly pine.

Brett Pierce

Here’s where we jump to Brett because, as much as I think Santiago would be so much like Karofsky in how he takes his own internalized homophobia out on others, the key difference is that Santiago has a Brett. Santiago has someone also on the football and also a popular guy who’s not like either of them. Much like Brittany, Brett would be comfortable with his sexuality and specifically bisexuality, once he has a word for it. It’s just the way he feels, the way he’s always felt and he’s never much been concerned with how others view him so being labelled gay or even some nasty words doesn’t affect him, or at least doesn’t terrify him to the extent it does Santiago. But I feel like I also once again have to note the different gender dynamcs.

Brett would not be able to express his sexuality as a bi guy in the same way Brittany did as a bi girl. I think they’re both limited by the homophobic world they live in but in different ways. With Brittany, the underlying assumption was that her attraction to women is temporary or not serious and she’d “stray for penis” (🙄 f u Glee and your biphobia). With Brett, I think he’d be limited in the sense that at the first sign of showing attraction to the same gender people would immediately label him as gay and he’d be stuck with that identity even if it doesn’t reflect reality. If, like Brittany, he had opposite sex midgames I think they’d be different dynamics and a sense of doubt about his attraction to them, as if he’s only using them as beards. Which wouldn’t be true, just as Brittany’s relationships with Artie and Sam were valid in their own right.

All that said, I don’t think this limitation and others’ judgement would faze Brett much. If he’s the same as Brittany just a guy version then he’s also comfortable in his skin and his much bigger insecurity is intelligence and how he’s dismissed and belittled in that way. Which is also an interesting comparison between genders, btw. But yes, as far as sexuality goes I think Brett would also sleep around a lot but more so for fun than the reputation it gives him. Santiago would, too, like I said, though I think he’d have a less, shall we say, active sexual life than Santana did because sexuality was Santana’s way of maintaining her status and that meant constant availability. Santiago would only need to sleep with a few girls, brag, have his on and off Cheerio and he’s already a legend among the Titans.

Brettiago and the rest of the story

Back to Brett but also going more into Brettiago, like I said I think he’d initiate things. He wouldn’t consider “what will the others say” and “what does this mean for us”, he’d just think Santiago looks super hot (cause he would lol) and go for it. And I think there’d be an initial rejection from Santiago and it’d be rough, emotionally, but they might have a secret thing going on eventually. Only, that’d make Santiago even more terrified and someone’s bound to catch on eventually so when it all explodes there’s still angst like there is for season 2 Brittana. Maybe they’re a casual hookup thing and Brett has a girlfriend like Brittany had Artie, and maybe Brett would like to talk about things like Brittany did in Sexy.

There are just so many variables. Like, do they even join Glee Club? Sue would either have to be the football coach instead or they follow Puck after Preggers for, uhm, some reason. I honestly think Santiago would need a better reason than “dancing is fun” because Santana’s spy reason was convenient but singing and dancing was also more socially acceptable for her than it would be for closeted football player Santiago. Finn got so much shit form the football team and very specifically gay insults so I don’t think Santiago would be able to tolerate that. Speaking of, in my mind Finn and Santiago have an ongoing rivalry. And what about people like Quinn, Rachel, Kurt and others? How would Brett and Santiago relate to them if everyone else stays the same gender? Smells like sequel bait to me.

But to close it out, for now, with answering your core question of how Brittana, or in this case Brettiago plays out: there are significant adjusments because a lot of early Brittana is inherently tied to them being hot cheerleader girls. Brettiago would face different challenges - not necessarily easier or harder, just different. They’re still best friends first, they still feel drawn to each other, Brett is still more casual about all things sex and Santiago still more terrified. A lot depends on how we view their coming out in this scenario but I’d like to think Brettiago would still reach (some of) the same milestones and conclusions as Brittana. After the secrets and shame and angst they’d still choose each other and find a better life after high school.

Oh and I realize now I never followed up on the “difference between Santiago and Dave is Brett” thing. Maybe Brett and his open heart would be the reason Santiago doesn’t end up as Karofsky. At least that’s my hopeful interpretation. Maybe, just maybe, Santiago could come out in his own time, unlike Santana and Dave.

Faity’s wedding proposal.

Faith não se considerava uma pessoa boa para preparar cenários e surpresas como Ray. O que ela sabia fazer de melhor era se entregar de todo o coração para o garoto judeu que a conquistou mesmo com todas as diferenças entre eles. Ainda assim, ela tentou ao menos pensar em uma maneira significativa de fazer o que estava pensando há semanas. Mandou uma mensagem no celular de Ray pedindo para que ele a encontrasse no auditório da Northwood no horário do almoço e revisou seu discurso ao menos cinco vezes. Ela não queria passar a impressão errada ou assustar o garoto.

Faith chegou no auditório com cinco minutos de antecedência e achou que seria melhor se deixasse os cabelos soltos e não no rabo de cavalo de sempre. Passou a andar de um lado para o outro até ouvir passos se aproximando e a voz de Ray.

- Faith? - Ray chamou pela garota com uma ligeira preocupação e curiosidade na voz. Há poucas semanas tinha chegado aos ouvidos deles algumas histórias que logo se provaram fatos sobre a mãe de Harding. Tais histórias eram preocupantes e deixaram a menina completamente abalada e perdida, então é claro que Ray estava preocupado e tentando ajudá-la da maneira que melhor conseguia.

- Hey! Preciso falar com você. - Ela falou em um tom nervoso e agitado ao cumprimentá-lo com um breve selinho e apontar o banquinho que estava posicionado ali no centro do palco. - Na verdade, preciso falar sobre você… Sobre nós. - Faith finalizou e esfregou as mãos na calça jeans, sentindo que a palma da mão estava suada por conta do nervosismo. - Eu queria preparar algo melhor como aquele nosso primeiro encontro que você preparou aqui. Só que não consegui encontrar tudo o que precisava. - A garota disse ficando sem graça e abaixando o olhar.

- Foi aqui que demos o nosso primeiro beijo. - Ray se pronunciou com um sorriso gentil no rosto. Ele sabia do tamanho do amor que sentia por Faith desde a primeira vez que botou os olhos nela, mesmo que naquela época ele fosse invisível aos olhos da garota por ser só mais um loser sem importância. Bom, ele ainda era um loser, mas agora tinha uma família e amigos, mesmo que entre brigas e pessoas que não o compreendiam. - E depois você saiu correndo tão rápido! Nunca entendi o motivo. - Ele disse com curiosidade ao levantar brevemente a sobrancelha direita.

- Eu… Fiquei nervosa. - Faith respondeu rapidamente tentando não corar ao lembrar da cena. Na época ela ainda namorava com Qhuinn Farrell e ele deixava a garota passando muitas vontades nas sessões de amassos na casa dele. E quando beijou Ray pela primeira vez ela mal soube como reagir, então achou mais sensato pedir desculpas e sair correndo.

- Mas eu nunca poderia te deixar nervosa. - Ele comentou com sorriso na voz. Era Faith que o deixava nervoso e o fazia perder o ar.

- Isso não é exatamente verdade. Estou um pouco nervosa agora mesmo. - Faith se moveu com certo desconforto. - Enfim, eu preciso lhe dizer uma coisa e preciso que fique em silêncio. Sei que isso é difícil para você, mas prometa que ficará em silêncio até que eu termine. - Ela pegou as duas mãos do namorado e olhou em seus olhos da maneira mais gentil que o nervosismo lhe permitia.

Assim que Ray balançou a cabeça para aceitar os termos, a garota soltou um suspiro pesado e soltou as mãos dele enquanto procurava as palavras certas para dizer aquilo que precisava. Ela havia treinado o discurso, mas agora as palavras tinham fugido de sua mente e Faith precisava manter o foco.

- Por toda a minha vida eu me perguntei se conseguiria ser uma grande mulher como a minha mãe mesmo sem ter a conhecido. Agora eu me preocupo em acabar me tornando como ela. - Faith comentou sem conseguir esconder o tom decepcionado e triste em sua voz, mas não poderia deixar aquela preocupação estragar sua missão. Mesmo com a expressão preocupada de Ray não iria tirar seu foco. Ele havia prometido permanecer em silêncio. - E para ser honesta, eu não sou o modelo de pessoas mais inteligente do mundo. Minha glória se resume apenas ao high school. - Faith soltou uma risada sem humor e Ray sentiu um aperto no coração e uma súbita vontade de soltar um dos seus discursos para fazer a amada sentir-se melhor, mas permaneceu no silêncio desconfortável. - Mas você apareceu. Você apareceu como uma luz na minha vida e têm me guiado desde então. - Ambos trocaram sorrisos apaixonados antes que Faith continuasse. - Ray, você é uma grande estrela e eu nunca tive dúvidas disso. Ainda assim, você permitiu que eu te amasse com cada osso em meu corpo mesmo sabendo que bem… Eu não sou grande coisa. - Ela continuou com sinceridade ao desviar o olhar para o chão enquanto reunia coragem antes de buscar o olhar curioso de Ray mais uma vez. - Se você me permitir continuar te amando até mesmo quando for a maior estrela da Broadway ou do mundo, sei que vou acordar todas as manhãs e sentir que tudo vai ficar bem. - Faith disse com plena convicção ao sentir seu coração acelerando.

Ray abriu aquele sorriso gigante que a garota tanto gostava de ver e tentou entender o motivo daquela declaração repentina. Sabia que Faith não era muito ligada aos pequenos detalhes, mas ela havia preparado uma bela surpresa e aquilo era bem fora do comum. Ainda assim, se obrigou a continuar em silêncio mesmo que tivesse milhares de perguntas para fazer.

Faith então levou a mão até o bolso traseiro de sua calça jeans, puxando uma pequena caixinha de veludo vermelha que transformou o sorriso de Ray em uma expressão assustada. Ele fez menção de abrir a boca para falar, mas foi interrompido pela continuidade do discurso da namorada. -  Eu precisei trabalhar muito para conseguir fazer o meu primeiro cartão de crédito e te comprar isso. Sei que não chega nem aos pés do pedido de casamento da Srta. Schuester, mas é de coração. É uma promessa. - Faith disse com o olhar voltado para a caixinha e uma risada muito nervosa. Ela podia sentir o suor de nervoso mais uma vez e uma vontade de sair correndo, mas se obrigou a ficar ali e se ajoelhar de maneira atrapalhada antes de buscar o olhar de Ray. O garoto estava com uma cara de quem tinha visto uma assombração, mas Faith não deixou que isso tirasse seus 20 segundos de coragem insana. - Eu prometo continuar te amando pelo resto da minha vida. Até quando formos velhinhos e cheios de rugas. Você só precisa aceitar. - Ela tentou fazer uma piada, mas que não deu muito certo. Ainda assim, estava comprometida com aquelas palavras. Faith sabia, do fundo da alma, que queria fazer Ray feliz e ser feliz ao lado dele. Não importava o julgamento das outras pessoas e se aquilo já tivesse ferido sua reputação milhares de vezes. Agora ela tinha um mínimo de maturidade para saber que reputação alguma valia o tamanho do sentimento que tinha por Ray. - Então… Ray Bolton, você aceita casar comigo? - Faith chegou ao fim do seu discurso com a caixinha aberta e uma aliança dentro dela. Sabia que era incomum a garota fazer o pedido de casamento, mas ela tinha aprendido tantas coisas no Glee Club. Que meninas podem cantar músicas de artistas masculinos e meninos poderiam cantar músicas de artistas femininas, então por quê seria diferente com pedidos de casamento? Eles passariam a vida inteira juntos mesmo. Ela podia sentir.

Ray sentia puro choque no momento em que foi pedido em casamento. Ele não estava mesmo esperando por aquele pedido. Sua maior preocupação era conseguir a chance de entrar em NYADA e trilhar seu caminho até o sucesso. Sabia que queria Faith ao seu lado por todo esse caminho e que eventualmente iriam se casar e viver o tão sonhado conto de fadas, mas ele não esperava que isso acontecesse tão cedo. Muito menos quando eles ainda estavam no high school. E pela primeira vez na vida, Ray ficou sem palavras. Ele só conseguia se manter paralisado naquele banquinho enquanto olhava com receio para a aliança.

BHHS: Vestiário Masculino

Fae Hudson

Quando você começa o seu dia na escola com a sua melhor amiga vomitando no banheiro e depois jogando a bomba de uma gravidez em seu colo, é mais do que óbvio que isso serve como motivo para perder o pouco da concentração que eu tenho nas aulas. Naomi tinha apenas 18 anos e acabou engravidando antes mesmo de terminar o ensino médio. Como seria a vida dela? E quando a notícia se espalhasse pela escola? Era tão injusto ela ter que passar por aquilo sozinha e deixar o babaca que a engravidou fora dessa cilada. Ela precisava da melhor amiga ao lado dela e eu não iria decepcioná-la. Naomi não me confirmou que o pai era Santiago, mas deixou isso bem claro quando me perguntou sobre ele enquanto ainda estávamos no banheiro. Já que ela não tinha a coragem de abordar aquele abutre irresponsável, então eu iria tomar a frente da situação e defender minha amiga. Ele teria que arcar com as consequências e assumir aquela criança. O rapaz era tão responsável quanto Naomi e teriam que tomar decisões em conjunto.

Fugi da minha aula de História que estava me deixando com sono de tanto ouvir falar sobre qualquer assunto que não me interessava e decidi acompanhar o treino de football dos garotos. Iria abordar Santiago assim que o coach liberasse o time. Não poderia esperar mais nem um segundo. Minha amiga logo precisaria de consultas médicas e quaisquer cuidados exigidos durante uma gestação, então não estava disposta a enrolar. Assim que o treino acabou, vi que Santiago começou a caminhar para fora do campo junto com Quentin e Brett, o que não facilitava minha vida. Puckerman não queria que ninguém soubesse da situação, então eu tinha que esperar o rapaz ficar sozinho. E foi o que fiz. Saí em passos rápidos do campo e dentro do que minha altura permitia, aguardei pacientemente do lado de fora do vestiário masculino até que todos saíssem dali, me camuflando entre os alunos que passavam por ali. Quando Quentin passou com Brett, me afastei um pouco para não ser notada e assim evitar perguntas. Eu definitivamente sabia me disfarçar melhor do que o Superman e a Supergirl. Talvez eu devesse ser protagonista da minha própria histórias em quadrinhos, um pensamento que guardei na memória para avaliar outra hora. Tinha uma missão para realizar e precisava agir antes de Santiago sair dali. Entrei no vestiário em passos pesados e com meus cabelos balançando no rabo de cavalo. Aquele lugar não tinha um cheiro muito agradável e eu queria terminar logo a minha missão.

- Santiago Lopez! COMO VOCÊ TEVE CORAGEM DE FAZER UMA COISA DESSAS COM A NAOMI? SEU ESTÚPIDO BABACA. - Vociferei com o dedo apontado na direção dele enquanto me aproximava. Assim que consegui atravessar o vestiário e me aproximar dele, não hesitei em erguer a minha mão e reunir toda a força que tinha para dar um tapa na cara dele. E deve ter doído, porque a minha mão com certeza ficou dolorida, mas não iria demonstrar isso. - Você estragou a vida da Naomi ao engravidá-la. Qual é o seu problema? A menina estava vomitando e apavorada. Seja homem o suficiente e vá lidar com isso. - Continuei o sermão, sentindo meu sangue ferver e pedindo para que eu chutasse alguma coisa. Era tudo tão injusto!

Well, as I’m sure none of you will be surprised to hear, it is my pleasure to announce that The Lopez Love Lottery was a total success. There was more than enough money raised from ticket sales to pay for a large mocha and Macaroon as a treat to me from me, to make a sizeable contribution to Figgins’ lousy decoration fund and to book the mucho caliente... Shakira. Unfortunately she isn’t available on prom night thanks to her current touring schedule and the fact that she’s now dead to me, however due to the recent restraining order I have received in the mail which is now a framed feature in my locker, it wouldn’t have been possible for us to have been in the same building together anyway. So I went ahead and booked the next best thing... the drag version, I have no doubt that Shaqueera will make this a prom to remember, and I think that’s a flavour we can all agree on. Now, the moment everyone has been waiting for, the lucky lady I’ll be taking to prom is.... ticket 378. Step up into my inbox and claim your prize, me.
