I just think "Somebody spoke and I went into a dream" followed by aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that no one can ever tell if it's Paul or John or both is one of the greatest thing any ear has ever been blessed with

Sad news .....

My mom passed away yesterday and right now, my family are preparing for the burial this morning.

I WENT TO CRITICAL ROLE'S LIVE SHOW AND I HAVE TO SCREAM ABOUT IT SOMEWHERE!! AHHHHHH!!

[steelthroat]

My mum just called my and told me that my aunt, who has become unexpectedly bigoted these last 2 years, told her:

"Oh [Zero] has so many girl friends what if [It] is a lesbian?"

(My mum told her that even if I were, I am an adult, and it's not hers my aunt's business. So she gets her "cool mum" mug this year)

But the thing I don't get is...

Lady... I've never been in the closet. Everyone knows I fancy women. Like- I have never hidden the fact that I am pan since I was 13.

Like, lmao, she was once speculating about another cousin's sexuality in front of other relatives, and I stepped in saying "you don't have to look for the gay nephew when you have me"

Jfc it's not nice speculating about anyone's sexuality in their absence and in front of other relatives especially. Idk if that cousin is queer or not but I won't stand by and have them either outed or put in a tough spot because that aunt is stupid

Oh and that was after she had asked me "why don't you shave the hair on your legs? Don't people say anything to you?"

And i said, "Because I don't care, and if someone says anything, I will ignore them :D"

Dude. I have NEVER been in the closet. I will never be in the closet, I ALSO present queer... ffs I've been wearing the same rainbow bandana around my wrist since 2019.

I don't get how people even have to wonder about my identity when I've NEVER been ambiguous about it.

I TELL PEOPLE I AM QUEER THEY FORGET??? And then ask my mum if I'm queer a month later????? I can't make this shit up, man.

Being an aroace person in this world is like

Rando on the internet: oh my GOD she so hideous, I can't believe she's allowed to be where she is, are we even sure she is a woman, she makes me gag

Rando on the internet: OMG Queen 😍, this is the beauty men used to go to war for, out of this world, heart-stopping, the classic beauty we all want to be or want to be with

happy valentine's day!!! here's a bit (read: basically a whole (albeit short) scene) from my "big smir fic" -- this was written a while back (I want to say some time last summer?) but I've been working on the fic again recently and this scene is in the chapter I've been focusing on and it is. disgustingly sweet. also it literally takes place on valentine's day. enjoy :)

“Do you trust me?”

“Yes,” Tanner said immediately. “Why?”

“I want to show you something.” Fir took Tanner’s hand and started leading him away. “Come on. It’ll be cool, I promise.”

“Ok?”

Fir dragged him back to the greenhouse, only to pause once they entered. “Wait, shit, I forgot it was a mess in here.” He chuckled sheepishly as he started tidying his lab. “Give me a minute, hold on.”

“Take your time.” Tanner occupied himself with walking around the workspace and inspecting the various ingredients and tools he came across. “I don’t think I’ve ever actually been in here before, so. At least, not since the curse broke.”

“Wait, really?” Fir glanced over at him with a smile. “Even better, actually. Sorry it’s not much, but—”

“No, it’s cool!” Tanner stopped walking, standing tall in the middle of the greenhouse. “It’s really cool.”

“Well, I’m glad you think so.” Fir finally finished his tidying up. He put his hands on his hips and looked over his slightly-cleaner lab with pride. “There we go! And now for the actual thing I wanted to show you.”

“Right, that. What is it?”

“A potion!”

“I’ve kinda guessed that at this point,” Tanner chuckled. “But what does it do?”

Fir shot him a sly smile. “You’ll see.”

He had prepared most of it beforehand, but there were still a few finishing touches to complete. Tanner walked over and looked over Fir’s shoulder as he combined two mixtures into a singular vial, then held the mixture tightly in his hands to warm it up. When he let go, the potion went from a light green to a bright, clear blue — then suddenly flashed pure black before finally settling as completely clear with waves of iridescence shimmering within.

"That should do it." Fir held the bottle up to the light and swirled it around a little, looking back at Tanner with a grin once he felt satisfied with what he saw. Tanner was still just staring, enraptured, at the vial. "Give me your hand?"

Tanner didn't move for a moment, unsure, but he slowly put his hand out nonetheless. "Ok?"

Fir gently held it in front of him. "Now, don't freak out…"

"You saying that makes me freak out more."

Fir chuckled. "Fair. But seriously, it shouldn't hurt, and it'll wash off after, don't worry. Just look."

And with that, he tipped the bottle over and poured the contents out on Tanner's hand. Tanner flinched at the sudden cool feeling, then stood, frozen, staring wide-eyed at his hand. As the potion ran down, almost like ink in the way it moved, it covered each spot it touched with invisibility. More revealed, then, than covered. Fir looked up and felt a spark in his chest at the sight of Tanner's face flooded with unabashed awe. It was a sight he would never get tired of.

"Oh, wow," Tanner whispered. He held his hand up — or, well, he held what appeared to be the stump of his wrist up, until he turned his hand over and the palm was once again visible. He laughed a little as he curled and uncurled his fingers over and over — invisible, then visible, invisible, then visible. "This is so cool."

Fir grinned proudly. "Yeah?"

"Oh, absolutely. It…" Tanner caught Fir's eye and grinned back. "The things you're able to do with magic… I've never even dreamed of something like this, it's amazing."

He held his hand up, watching intently as a drop of the potion ran down his arm, turning another streak transparent. Then he looked back up at his hand, turning it sideways to marvel at the line between invisibility and visibility. 

Fir just watched, unable to look away himself — not from the potion, but from Tanner. The soft curve of his absent-minded smile, how parts of his hair stuck together from the melted snow, the way his eyes would flicker up and down to track the potion; Fir drank in every detail he could without even realizing he was doing it.

“I have more,” Fir said after… some amount of time. He wasn’t really sure, and he didn’t really care.

Tanner’s eyes were glowing. “Really?”

“Of course, dude,” Fir chuckled. “That’s kind of my whole thing. The sink’s over by the door, by the way.” He turned back to his desk to look for the next thing he wanted to show off: the lighter potion that would allow him to make a flame with a snap of his fingers.

“Thanks,” Tanner said, “I’m almost tempted to not wash it off.” Fir could hear the water running; for a second that was the only sound in the greenhouse. “I thought you were working on your thesis, though? When did you have time for all this?”

“Oh, I mean, I am!” Fir gave a weary laugh. “I am pretty much constantly working on my thesis. I didn’t come up with the recipe for that potion from scratch, I learned it a long time ago from this, like, teen’s book of cool potions to show off to your friends. And, uh, I know you like magic, and I know you’re my friend, so I wanted to show it off to you! Take a bit of a break for an hour or so. My thesis can wait.”

Fir finally found it. He turned around to see Tanner staring at him with a — bewildered? conflicted? curious? — look on his face, the invisibility potion washed off and the sink no longer running.

“What?” Fir asked.

Tanner stared at him for a second longer, then smiled and shook his head. “I don’t get you sometimes.” There was a beat. “Thank you."

[whenthegoldrays]

In retrospect, my ex crush whom I hadn't seen in six years walking back into my life with zero (0) warning, having dinner with me and telling the waitress to disregard my request for a straw, and then vanishing again takes the cake as the craziest part of my 2023.

[theflikchic]

Just had a flashback to when I met John Barrowman at a convention and had him sign a drawing I did of Jack Harkness flirting with Jack Sparrow and Jack Torrance and he paused and stared at it before going- "I really like this,"
