L'épisode "Mais qui veut tuer Charlie ?".

[nyc-looks]

Jaclyn, 22

“I am wearing a bunch of thrifted pieces along with a top from TheEndLable, and Doc Martens of course! A lot of my style inspiration comes from the pieces themselves actually! It’s like my clothes chat with me and tell me how they want to be worn hahaha. But for some serious style inspo, I’ll always looks up to Helena Bonham Carter and Betsey Johnson.”

You know folks have put in the time to think about how their system works when a good fifth of the SRD is dedicated to design philosophies and the “whys and wherefores.” Getting in the weeds of 9th Level Games’ Polymorph Framework has been the most deeply I've engaged with a system; it was a fascinating process that only gave me greater respect for TTRPG designers who know their craft. 

The result was this nifty little game inspired by the spirit of 12-year-old Jaclyn, who spent hours playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and drawing new Pokémon on the back of kids' menus. It is dedicated to the young players of Penguino, who would be a Penguin-Form Ice-Domain Critter, Hornet, who would be a Bug-Form Fauna-Domain Critter, Skrel, who would be a Skeleton-Form Fire-Domain Critter, and every other enthusiastic young gamer who has brought a wildly creative and wholly unfeasible character to a tabletop game not designed to play them. May this game serve you well!

The Giant (3/16)

***Contains soft, nonfatal, unwilling vore***

------Chapter 3------

I awoke with a start. The room was much darker, in the depths of night. A full moon shone through the window, casting long eerie shadows all over the room. I became aware of Chester standing at his full height next to the bed, towering above me, his inky black shadow stretching over me across the bed. He reached his giant hand toward me and lifted me high into the air, level with his face. The cold intensity of his green eyes gazing upon me made me shiver. He didn’t say anything, just continued to stare. He slowly sat on the bed and laid down flat on his back, dangling me above his face, not breaking eye contact the entire time. I started to feel a primordial fear gnaw at my insides. 

“Jaclyn,” he boomed in a commanding tone. 

“Y-yes?” I responded meekly.  

There was a long, uncomfortable pause. I tried to remain calm as I waited to see what he wanted, but my distress was growing. What he said next confirmed my worst fears. 

“Can I taste you again?” The coldness in his eyes transformed into a predatory hunger. His lips parted in greedy anticipation, revealing huge white teeth. Without waiting for a response, his mouth opened wider and his huge tongue darted out and licked my leg, from my thigh to my foot. I yelped in shock and squirmed away. 

“Wait!” I protested. “I’m not okay with this-” But he ignored me, opening his mouth wider again, his tongue curling outward to receive me. The hand holding me lowered, and my feet and legs slid down across the tongue, which rubbed against my bare skin with slimy roughness. I looked down with horror into the gigantic, fleshy mouth that was so eager to devour me. I could see all the details with graphic clarity--the neat rows of white teeth going far down, the pink gums, the curved roof of the mouth, the gaping gullet and uvula, the tonsils nestled deep inside, and the back of the throat waiting impatiently to swallow me. 

“Stop! Please don’t!” I pleaded and writhed, but it was too late. The hand released me and I screamed as I fell inside, my whole body sliding against the tongue as the rows of massive teeth closed around me. I struggled in desperation to escape being eaten but my efforts were useless. The tongue wiggled against my body with pleasure and rolled me around inside the mouth, covering me in a thick coat of saliva. I cried out as I was pushed over the wall of molars and stuffed into the slippery cheek on one side of his mouth, then pressed back over in a terrible journey to the other side, while being sucked on the entire time like a piece of hard candy. 

As I was forced to explore every inch of the inside of his mouth, I clung to the hope, however futile it may be, that maybe the giant was just going to enjoy my taste, would not hurt me, and would resist the urge to swallow me. However, after being rolled around several times I noticed with terror I was being shoved aft towards the back of the tongue, near the gaping hole to the void below. The time was coming. I tried to reach up and grab the uvula, or even just brush against it to stimulate a gag reflex, but everything was so slippery that I had no leverage to pull myself up. When that plan failed, I attempted to kick the back of the throat¾but to my horror, my feet were trapped, and had already disappeared into the throat. The flesh crushed around my feet and sucked down my legs. I was sinking down fast. I strained my arms to grab something, anything, but everything was slick with drool and slipped out of my hands. I was done for; I had one last glimpse of the cage of teeth before the throat muscles pulled me down in one huge gulp. 

Being swallowed was horrible. The muscles of the esophagus forcing me down were so strong I could do nothing to push against them, and squeezed me tightly enough that I could barely breathe. I felt as if I were falling a great distance; the tube crushing me felt as if it were going on and on forever. I dreaded what awaited me on the other side. Everything was very hot and wet and dark. As I passed down through the giant’s chest I could hear the massive heart pounding through the fleshy walls, and air blasting through the vast lungs. I kept dropping lower until I was unceremoniously dumped into the giant’s stomach. 

I fell into a big puddle of stomach acid that made my eyes and nose burn and my skin tingle unpleasantly. I thrashed around in a blind panic, banging my fists as hard as I could against the slimy stomach walls.  

“Help me! Let me out of here!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, clawing at the stomach lining. I didn’t know if Chester could hear me from inside his own belly but he was the only one who could get me out. 

Much to my surprise, he actually answered, his giant voice reverberating through the flesh all around me. “I’m sorry,” he stated bluntly, “but I couldn’t resist the temptation any longer.” 

“Please!” I implored, “please, I beg you, let me out of here! You promised you wouldn’t eat me! I trusted you!” I crumbled against the fleshy wall in despair, sobbing. “What kind of a person would you be to betray that trust?”  

The stomach acid was starting to sting my skin, and I realized with revulsion I was slowly being digested. Unless I convinced Chester to throw me up somehow, I was going to die in here. His voice remained silent; the only sounds were the stomach churning and gurgling, his thunderous heartbeat, and his heavy breathing. I punched and kicked the stomach walls again in frustration, to no avail. 

“Chester, please… I believe in you. You’re my friend. Save me, don’t let me die in here,” I pleaded. I started to feel dizzy from the terrible heat and the acrid fumes. I wouldn’t be able to stay conscious for much longer. 

Chester finally spoke up. “I… don’t know if I’ll be able to stop myself from eating you again later, if I let you out,” he confessed, his deep voice resonating through his insides. “You tasted so delightful, and you feel so good right now in my belly… especially when you squirm.” 

I bit my tongue to hold back the angry words I wanted to say in reply. Now was not the time to argue; I needed to get out of here, now, at any cost. “Listen… if you let me out now, I promise I’ll do anything you ask of me. Even if that means allowing you to eat me later.” An obvious lie, but maybe it would work. I had to try. 

“Really?” Chester queried, sounding skeptical. 

“Absolutely!” I shouted back, trying to project conviction. I needed to bolster the lie further, so I added, “if you don’t let me out now, I’m going to dissolve from being digested, and you’ll never be able to taste me again.”  

“You’ve got a point,” Chester muttered. “Alright. I’ll let you out.” 

I sighed in relief. I felt a moment of disorientation as Chester went from laying down to standing up and walking, since of course his organs moved along with him. The heat in his gut, along with the noxious vapors, was becoming unbearable. I felt myself starting to pass out, and I fought against the black static that was creeping into the corners of my vision. I was falling into nothingness, and my sight and hearing started to fade into gray. Then, unexpectedly, I was dimly aware that I was rising. However, this experience was far from a graceful ascension: it was rough, painful, claustrophobic, and forceful. My awareness came rapidly flooding back and I felt familiar meat walls crushing me again, but instead of dragging me down to the depths I was pushed up with urgency. 

Suddenly, I could see light up above, framed by the darkness of the gullet and the dangling uvula at the back of the throat. With a grotesque retching sound, I squeezed between two massive tonsils, like boulders of flesh coated in mucus, and found myself back in the giant maw, surrounded by a fence of huge white teeth. I slid down the gigantic tongue like a slip ‘n’ slide and fell with a gross slap into the palm of the giant’s hand. I could scarcely believe it; I was out! The bright light blinded me after being in the darkness of his innards. I heard the squeak of a water faucet, and was promptly drenched in a deluge of cool water. The water felt heavenly on my skin. Fortunately, I hadn’t been swimming in digestive juices long enough to suffer any serious injuries, only mild stinging.  

Without speaking, the giant set me down on the bathroom counter and prepared a bath for me, just as he had done the prior morning. He quickly used the sink to brush his teeth and get the flavor of vomit out of his mouth, then brought me my bag of clothes from his bedroom and left the room so I could bathe in seclusion. He seemed to be sullen and deep in thought, but I didn’t care; at that point, I just wanted to get clean. I scrubbed all the disgusting bodily fluids off with liberal amounts of soap and washed them away. After drying and clothing myself, and brushing out the knots in my hair, I took advantage of the temporary solitude to work through my thoughts.       

In some ways I was still in shock. I could scarcely believe that Chester had actually eaten me. While his tremendous size was hard to get used to, I had at least started to trust him a little bit, and thought he was a good person at heart. Before that he had been nothing but kind and gentle when handling me. So why had he done such a horrible thing? And on top of that, why had he changed his mind and let me back out? He must have known I would want nothing to do with him after this incident. Did he feel guilty for eating me? I could only speculate.  

However, two indisputable realities were clear to me. My life was in danger, perhaps not in the immediate future, but at some point, the giant man would be tempted to eat me again, and I might not be lucky enough to make it out alive a second time. The other glaring issue was my complete lack of options. Escape was highly unlikely; trying to run away from or resist a giant when I was not even the size of his pinky finger would be beyond futile. Even now, when he wasn’t in the room, I was effectively trapped on the bathroom counter. There were no means by which I could climb down, and jumping off would be suicide. Throughout the house, the oversized furniture would prove to be an insurmountable barrier to escape. Chester had never placed me on the floor: I was always on a table, or desk, or countertop, high off the ground. I would have to wait for just the right window of opportunity to escape. 

But then, another predicament immediately presented itself: Even if I did successfully flee, what would I do then? Where would I go, lost alone in a world of goliaths? I had no way of getting back to the human world. I could, by some miracle, escape the clutches of the giant man, only to be torn apart or eaten by a giant wild animal right outside his house. I was able to reason with Chester, to convince him to let me out of his stomach, but there would be no hope if a titanic bird or cat got ahold of me. Or worse, another giant might find me, one that unlike Chester was cruel and hateful, and torture me in unspeakable ways. I knew, whatever terrible fate may befall me, I would not be able to survive on my own in a world not made for me. I would have to face the horrific threat directly, unflinchingly, without running away. 

My brief surge of courage was hastily quelled when I heard rumbling footfalls coming my way from behind the door, followed by a thunderous knock. When I didn’t answer, the giant opened the door and walked over to the counter, his colossal mass stretching far above me. I felt smaller than I ever had before. I began to tremble uncontrollably. Chester sighed and placed his gargantuan hands on the counter, leaning over me.  

“Look… I need to explain some things to you that I didn’t tell you before,” he began in a tired voice. “I know you’re afraid, but come with me and we’ll talk.” With a single smooth motion, he captured me in his hand and carried me back to the bedroom. The comfort I had formerly experienced when held in his large warm hands was gone. Instead, my insides felt like they were tied into knots. Chester lowered his enormous frame onto the bed in a sitting position and deposited me in his lap, keeping his hand cupped around me. I raised my eyes skyward in consternation; he returned my gaze with a solemn look. 

“Despite our similarities, giants are anatomically different than humans,” Chester explained. “We are more carnivorous, and actually require meat to survive, unlike humans who can be vegetarians.” I remained silent, processing this information. He continued, “In fact, humans are supposed to be our primary food source. We were created with the express purpose of limiting the human population. As apex predators of humans, we naturally crave the taste of our human prey above all other foods. Nothing else satisfies in the same way.” 

I couldn’t help but shudder in horror at this remark. Chester drew his hand closer around me and petted me gently on my back with his index finger in a misguided attempt to comfort me. “At one time, we lived in the same realm as you, the human realm. I’m sure you’ve heard many stories of giants that lived in the past. However, powerful human wizards rose up against us and banished us from the human world with their magic. Since then, we have been forced to live here, in the Land of Giants, without humans to satiate our intense hunger.” 

Chester cupped me in his hand and lifted me up close to his face. “Humans do make it to our lands, albeit rarely. I’ve lived a few hundred years… and I’ve eaten a handful in my time.” 

“Such as me,” I chimed in bitterly. 

Chester wavered, then answered, “Yes. I regret that choice deeply. It’s just… I hadn’t savored the flavor of a human in so long, and when you fell by accident into my mouth… it awakened a ravenous appetite that I couldn’t control.” 

To my shock, his huge green eyes began to well up with tears. “I don’t want to be a bloodthirsty monster. I never intended to hurt you. I can’t help that I was born with this burden. The urge to consume humans is so strong, I don’t know if I can fight it…” In spite of myself, I started to feel sorry for the giant. His emotions were sincere. I reached up my hand and brushed it against his cheek. 

“I just don’t know what to do now,” he sputtered. “I want to keep you safe, but I can’t let you go. You haven’t met any other giants yet, but most are far crueler than me towards humans. If they found you…” He trailed off ominously. “I should mention as well, giants have an excellent sense of smell. Especially for tracking humans. You wouldn’t be able to run or hide, from me or anyone else. You’d be completely helpless.” 

So, he had come to the same conclusion that I had. All the new information he had imparted to me was especially disturbing. I had been unaware that giants had such great noses, but this fact was consistent with popular fairy tales about giants so it seemed plausible. At least I understood better Chester’s motivation for ingesting me, even if I wasn’t happy with his actions. Nevertheless, it seemed I had no choice but to stay. I exhaled heavily; I was overwhelmed and exhausted. 

“Chester, let’s get some rest. We can figure out a solution tomorrow.” 

He looked down at me with glassy eyes brimming with tears. “I’m so, so sorry for what I’ve done,” he blubbered. I could tell he was deeply ashamed with himself. I sighed again. 

“I… I forgive you,” I choked out reluctantly. Forgiveness was not an easy thing to give for almost killing me, but I realized it was the right thing to do. Chester was my last hope in a hopeless situation. As much as it pained me, I had to put my faith in him, or else I wouldn’t survive. And despite everything that had transpired, I had a fondness for him that I couldn’t rationalize. I still believed, regardless of what he had done, that he was a good person. Maybe I would prove myself a fool. Only time would tell if my story would turn into a tragedy. 

Chester turned off the light and crawled into bed, laying on his back, and placed me on his chest. I would have protested but I was drained of all my energy and just wanted to sleep. Besides, his body was so warm and soft. His steady breathing and heartbeat, and the rhythmic rise and fall of his vast chest, lulled me into a deep slumber.

A Feckless, Vindictive, and Weaponized U.S. Federal Government - Now O for 3 in Disaster Response | The Gateway Pundit | by John Mills

[woah-uhuh-uhuh-uhuh]

BAC: SECOND VIEWING NOTES!

Yeah i went again on sunday and really wanted to cry after because it's over forever Q_Q i am inconsolable but for the fact that there may be a halloween party... but uhhhhhhh anyway here's what I noticed this time!!

(also here's the notes from my first time for reference [x])

Ad libs:

Final show energy & lots of ad libs! Which were apparently real unscripted ad libs!! A lot of them were just little things (so I can't recount most of them) but they were very very good. the blorbos became real people for a second there

When Rich is looking for Mountain Dew Red at the party, Jenna appears and says "I have Mountain Dew Blue?" and he explodes at her (possibly "Not now, Jenna!")

When Christine and Jeremy talk together at the party, they're sitting on beanbags; after they get scared off by the skeleton guy, they're laughing and crawling back to their seats - Christine, through laughter: "oh where's the beanbag...."

Changes (?)

VIMH: Rich: "The ladies are gonna get to know the real Richard Goranski... And the dudes." Then he stares into the distance for like 30 seconds (a very long time), making calculating gestures in the air (like the woman with math meme) before going "Oh. My god............... I am totally bi!"

Maybe wrong, but I swear there was a wind part added to the middle of Michael in the Bathroom??? I thought it might be a flute or digital flute..... but as a flautist I might be projecting.....

The Play: Multiple thin green lights flickered down on people as they got squipped, with a cute video game chime sound. But fairly certain this was always there and I just noticed it this time lmao

Smartphone Hour: Background acting on the little platform at the very back of the stage: a scooby-doo esque chase sequence where a firefighter rushes on from SR and disappears SL (implied Jake's house is SL); the fireman reappears with Jake in his arms and runs back SR to safety. Then Jake runs back across to get something from his house and the fireman is trying to stop him. Then Jake runs back out of the house holding a teddy bear he saved from the fire; the fireman is chasing him back out of the house. It was fucking hilarious 10/10 especially because I couldn't be sure if it was a new addition or if I just completely filtered it out last time like a basketball gorilla dslfjdslfk

Also on Jake: between the teddy bear and the Upgrade scene (also detailed by Dani) where he's talking about archery while holding a plush duck - unsure dramaturgically if it's supposed to be a real dead duck or a toy, but anyway.... Jake who likes stuffies??? IDK if I buy it but I don't know enough about Jake to NOT buy it and its also a very fun headcanon I think so it's going on the pile for me. he can collect plushies with jeremy as far as im concerned dsljfsdkfjs

Oh yeah Jeremy also had a big white duck plush on his bed. edit: this is actually a seagull plush! Its name is Katie and it belongs to stage crew member Anya!

More details I saw this time

General

Christine actor was actually amazing she has this giggly honk voice she uses when being like obnoxiously loud and silly and idk how to describe it but such intense LOUD SILLYGIRL ENERGY. A little different than the chris im used to and it was fun to see another version of her!!

Maybe I'm insane but I think Christine also pronounced Jeremy kinda like 2 syllables (Jare - me). This extremely slight difference somehow led to me perceiving her singing "Is he worth it? Germyyyyyyy!" IDK Sorry Jaclyn if you are reading this ldksfjdlsk

Lots of times when Jeremy is talking about becoming cool he does little hip gyrations (think Rich at the urinal i guess but more subtle)

Jeremy does this thing where he holds his hand bent stiff with his fingers all together and taps hard on his right temple to express some kind of frustration with the SQUIP- e.g. when he's trying to get the SQUIP to turn on after the first day; during the end of the Halloween party, etc. Actually it very much has the same conceptual energy as "C'c'c'come on....." now that I think about it

Michael blows a cloud of smoke during a few of his entrances (MTS and maybe Halloween - or that was Dustin maybe)

He also uses a vape pen I think? When he says 'we gotta get stoned in my basement'

Preshow montage

Before the show, there's a montage of screenshots from the teens' lives on the back wall --- that is, their selfies and their text convos. Pretty sure the texts were that gossip submitted by fans? I only remember two:

"i heard that guy who wears hoodies all the time only listens to weezer" <- (I only noticed this one 'cause it KILLED ME honestly I feel like Jeremy would love Weezer and Michael would hate it sdjkfljdsf ) edit: this text was submitted by @/thesquirrelqueer!

I don't remember who was on which side, but Brooke or Chloe sending Chloe or Brooke a big comforting text after her breakup and making plans to go get ice cream I think?

MTS

"Dad haven't you ever heard of privacy?" He says this while putting on his belt after the opening.

Jeremy's actually gesturing towards his locker for like the entire conversation between Brooke, Chloe, Jenna; when they notice him finally it kinda looks like he's just pointing at them and that's part of why they think he's weird I think?

M: "Humanity has stopped evolving!" Jeremy then takes like 20 seconds of looking confused before going (approximately) "is that supposed to be good...?"

"Christiiiiiine Canigula!" Each Christine section he eventually (around 3rd time) starts using this fanboy totally-losing-his-mind-over-this voice which is REALLY hard to describe but i'll try: like lower & less articulate, like how it sounds when you raise your soft palate (?), and going up at the end kind of laugh-like like he's really excited. (For a bmc reference maybe sounds a little like will roland's tone in i even got some blood flowing / with no computer screen around). Anyway i'm not gonna lie it did make him sound really lame jsdlkfjdsf

"Why can't someone just help me out?" As Jeremy sings this bridge it's all dark except for a light on him. Students line up chairs behind him and sit down. At this line, two guys walk forwards on either side and touch his shoulders (looking kind of solemn / sympathetic) , and guide him back to sit in the chair in the middle. Then the lights come up on everyone and more group choreo wheeee

Post-ILPR MTS reprise

Christine: "Sorry, Jeremy, did you say something?" -> after this scene, she runs off giggling loudly, apparently glad to not be interrupted and VERY visibly excited about Jake asking her out

Jeremy sings "I don't wanna be special / Don't even want to survive...." (Instead of usual "Don't even need to survive.") Not sure if it was intentional but it happened at both shows I saw and made me sad both times noooooo........... guy...........

Squip song

Rich actually rubs his hands all over Jeremy's face (in addition to his arms)

"Top secret can't even look it up on the internet type shit": Rich looks to the side and mimes a rectangle (computer screen) then mimes typing where the keyboard would be

2PG

"I don't want that to be my future! Sad, and alone, and ... " - The music cuts out at "sad" instead of at the beginning of this line.

On their relationship in general, I think Michael irritates Jeremy more than fanon typically has it lol. Very excitable Michael who kinda lacks volume control (in several scenes - including VIMH even after Jeremy tells him to be quieter). Constructive interference of autism etc etc

(Again fun to see this!! as a jeremy stan i am definitely guilty of making michael a godlike perfect friend to jeremy and like.. no... they don't actually mesh that well even just in the script!! Often times Jeremy doesn't understand or care about the things Michael says. So yeah absorbing this into my headcanons now thank you)

Also back wall was this like vaporwave looking low-poly 2 person first person shooter game footage (think wolfenstein but with a very different aesthetic - purple and blue, and i think with some objects depicted in mesh).

BMC P1

When Jeremy's spasming on the ground (last time I thought he looked mostly in pain - this time he was vibrating a bit more like he lost muscle control) - local build-a-bear employee Jared Kleinman (JARED KLEINMAN...) and some other people start filming him.

Jared keeps filming him through the scene until SQUIP: "All they see is you having an animated conversation... with yourself." Jeremy turns and notices him; Jared doesn't stop filming but just waves at him nonchalantly (in a mocking way like hey buddy welcome back to reality)

Jared also has a BaB apron and BaB backpack on (or a bear sticking out of his backpack i dont remember). Pretty sure he also had a bear with him in another scene, probably Halloween?

"Lookin pretty sexy, brooke" -- says it in like a low Elvisy voice (like will connolly)

BMC P2

"Everything about you is going to be wonderful" -- Jeremy rolls up his cardigan sleeves so they're just below the elbow. (One of them slipped back down and he put it up again but I didnt think it was intentional lol). I was surprised how much instantly cooler that made him look but maybe that's just because my older brother wears his sleeves like that ljdsfkdsfklsfdlk

......also note that MICHAEL usually wears his sleeves rolled up like that in this production.... inch resting.....

MTS reprise

When the lights first come up, Jeremy is snoring with his head hanging off the side of the bed. He stops breathing for a second, then jerks awake.

GTIKBI

Chris: "I know you and Jake used to date...." Chloe and Brooke simultaneously go "Oh my god, no!!!" --- Chloe to Christine (mockingly), meanwhile Brooke is unrelatedly browsing her phone and says it in distress because she (implied) has just seen that Eminem died. As convo continues, Brooke sits next to another student (Leo Collins?) and shows them the article. (She still says 'yeah jake is so gross' to Chloe, just sounding upset)

Upgrade

I ALREADY SAID THIS BUT JEREMY AND BROOKE WERE SO CUTE TOGETHER JLKSDFLDFSJ. I decided to only watch them during this song (/ _ \) Based on their acting when they walked near the stage stairs, they had climbed to the back of the bleachers and were walking precariously on the outside of the railing - specifically, they went over the stair railings - first Brooke and she teeters a bit and jokingly pretends like she's gonna fall off; Jeremy goes under the rail, comes up on the other side and does a gesture like *tada!*. Then they sit down together and are talking and its just really cute. making me ship puppy love over here jdsifojdslkfdjsflk

Halloween

Michael was at the dance in costume - during a certain point (I think right before Rich starts losing it) Michael gets lost out of the group choreo, seems to be stressed out and runs off stage (presumably to the bathroom)

One of the guys is dressed up like Guy Fieri and it's really good. Like I remember last time I even had a moment where I realized I was interpreting this actor as playing The Real Guy Fieri At Jake's Halloween Party. Also in MITB he uses his hat (which is a combo of visor and fake hair) to knock on the door.

DYWH

Chloe: "...rock this baby fast asleep" then, laughing: "Goo goo ga ga!!" and she kinda topples onto him. The actress said she got this from the West End production!

When Jeremy says "I can't stand up." It was kind of implied it's because he has an erection not because his legs are frozen; right before this line he stands up then sits down and puts a pillow in his lap. Either way though ig it was still the SQUIP stopping him (S: "you're welcome.")

GTIKBI reprise

as Dani pointed out, Christine was sitting kinda numbly on the beanbag with headphones on; she takes them off when Jeremy starts talking to her.

Voices in my Head

Jeremy's wearing an X-Men shirt!

Re: expensive headphones - Michael's rubbing Rich's shoulders (???) when he says "I'm sure someone would be lucky to have you" (and then of course he still says but not meeeee while sending him flying)

"Throw you a rope home slice if you need some dope advice" Jake fist bumps with Jeremy (or equivalent gesture i dont remember)

Stagedorks kiss: after C says yes, they walk to the center of the stage. Jeremy rushes forwards and puts his hands on her cheeks (i think?) to pull her into a kiss. They separate, beat, then Christine goes forwards again and they have a long slow kiss while the ensemble keeps dancing and singing around them.

Not intentional i dont think but Patrick the Jeremy actor was crying a bit at the end /( T_ T \ )

OK YEAH i might add more to this if I remember and/or edit it back into the first post...... but hope that was fun to read????

L'épisode "Mais qui veut tuer Charlie ?".

Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler

Amber McCloud’s dream is to become cheer captain at the end of the year, but it’s an extra-tall order to be joyful and spirited when the quarterback of your team has been killed in a car accident. For both the team and the squad, watching Robbie get replaced by newcomer Jack Walsh is brutal. And when it turns out Jack is actually short for Jaclyn, all hell breaks loose.

The players refuse to be led by a girl, the cheerleaders are mad about the changes to their traditions, and the fact that Robbie’s been not only replaced but outshined by a QB who wears a sports bra has more than a few Atherton Alligators in a rage. Amber tries for some semblance of unity, but it quickly becomes clear that she's only got a future on the squad and with her friends if she helps them take Jack down.

Just one problem: Amber and Jack are falling for each other, and if Amber can't stand up for Jack and figure out how to get everyone to fall in line, her dream may come at the cost of her heart.

Sleep hours (the previous night): 5 hours

Heyyyy everyone!

I had a good day today. I woke up early and had study breakfast with Kelsey which was super fun bc who doesn’t love Kelsey 🕺🏻 I’m not sure why we continued with that plan but we planned on meeting at 9 but we both woke up at 9 and got there at 9:30am. It was so funny because it felt weirdly synchronized. Anyways after breakfast I did my midterm and then took a nap for 30 mins until I had lunch plans. I ate lunch with Gina which was actually so yummy. We ate Gogopop which was my first time. In westwood there was a little market event happening where they had vendors selling food, drinks, clothes, and trinkets. We got mango drinks and then Gina bought a giant bag of popcorn. We went back and parted ways. I took a shower and then met up with friends to rehearse a project. I went to chlobo’s dorm to get some stuff and then we met up with a bunch of friends again. We did our project which was so fun and then I had dinner with Fabi, Seryn, Jaclyn, Jocelyn, and Kelsey. We got feast which was horrendous and then I ordered a chicken pesto sandwich from the study which was decent. It was very fun. After dinner I went to westwood and had a mango slushie with Sophia. Now I am about to sleep.

Hi! It’s the catholic school maybe ace anon again. I just have one more question.

I want to be open and okay with sexuality and that kind of thing, but from a very young age I’ve been taught it was Not Okay.

Is there anything you can recommend to me (books, blogs, channels, etc.) that might help me.. understand more, ig? I try really hard to keep an open mind, but I don’t actually learn enough to be at a point where I’m chill with it (I try to be, I really do).

hi catholic anon (cathnon, if you will),

I did drop a couple of recommendations in my answer to your last query (shoutout to Lindsey Doe's Sexplanations and Heather Corinna's Scarleteen again, I really can't say enough good things about them!) but let's talk about some more cool resources!

Dr. Nadine Thornhill is an educator doing THE COOLEST work, definitely check her out!

if you want to read about asexuality and aromantic experiences, check out Yasmin Benoit's writing on her website! she's one of the most outspoken aroace figures in the business.

while I have my gripes with Teen Vogue, they write a lot of very accessible articles about sexual topics ranging from abortion info to disability-friendly sex to tips on buying vibrators. give it a look!

Planned Parenthood's website is chock full of useful info that I frequently use as a reference in my work, with a section specifically geared towards teenagers.

for asexual-specific writing you gotta check out Angela Chen's book Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex. it's a fantastic piece of writing, and makes me so hopeful for the future of ace and aro scholarship written from within the community.

Sexuality: A Graphic Guide is also a gentle illustrated into to a lot of big ideas about sexuality and orientation, by Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele. you may also be interested in another of Barker's books, How to Understand Your Sexuality, written with Alex Iantaffi.

another book I'm very fond of is Jaclyn Friedman's Unscrewed, which looks at ways in which sex can be exploited by patriarchy and capitalism and contrasts that bleak outlook with people doing real, tangible good to advance sexual freedom, queer rights, and reproductive health.

also hey listen I'm going to say one that's a little goofy but a lot of fun: there's a show on Netflix (or elsewhere, if you know how to pirate) called How to Build a Sex Room that's short (only sex episodes, I think?) and nothing but fun, following designer Melanie Rose building her clients' ideal rooms to have sex in. clients range from eager to overshare to adorably awkward, and Rose is always there to encourage them to think about what they really want and how to express that desire. it's very cute and a great way to get cozy around casual convos about sex!
