Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Romances of 2024

Young Adult Okay, Cupid by Mason Deaver (January 2nd) As a cupid, Jude thinks they understand love a little bit more than the average human. It makes sense — Jude’s been studying love their whole teen life. And, yes, there have been some bumps in the road, and they’re currently on probation for doing something that they absolutely, definitely shouldn’t have done… but they’re ready to prove they…

Doom Patrol finale killed me all the way dead.

Rita fucking died. Laura got no forgiveness. Movie Snuggles <3. Jane is now Kay. Isabel/Immortus is just chill now. Larry and Rama exploded with love, literally. Kay and Casey are gays in space! Cliff died but he got to see his grandson grow up. Vic got his robotics program going. Laura got to burn shit. Dorothy just completely vaish3d after Immortimas.

10/10 Maximum Emotional Damage.

My Oc Voice Actors ^^

I made my own oc voice actors that fits them. I thought of my favorite voice actor "Jonathan Leon" voicing kimi would be good for him. Especially having voices of Ray's voice to Kyle and Emma's voice to Jamie together in creationverse. Alek definitely fits Chilchuck Tim's cause of his personality and being there for me before my birthday. Plus Agito from the origin Spirits of the past. Also, being my first creation before starting gacha for the first time. So, I hope you guys like it. ^^

Kimi - Johnathan Leon {Maru : Heavenly Delusion}

Sukie - Xanthe Huynh {Alluka Zoldyck : Hunter x Hunter}

Jamie - Erica Mendez {Emma : The Promised Neverland}

Alek Armstrong - Casey Mongillo {Chilchuck Tims : Delicious in Dungeon & Agito : Origin: Spirits of the past}

Kyle Takagi - Laura Stahl {Ray - Tpn}

Ritchie and Laura

So I vaguely implied it in the very first post, but I'm heavily leaning into the whole "Ritchie is a Discount Ash" Thing in the Papa Meowth AU by making him a Zorua whose parents are a Zoroark and Sandslash from the future, as a parallel to Ash and Delia's whole Mystery Dungeon thing. Why they time traveled is spoilers for Sinnoh. He also has a human sister named Laura who has a mysterious connection to Celebi (mysterious because I haven't figured out what it is or what it means and this buys me some time), as Maria's counterpart.

They've got their own, mostly off-screen journey that strongly parallels Ash and Maria's, including stumbling into their own World Saving Adventures at roughly the same time, though the two journeys overlap occasionally, usually at either the few Canon times Ash and Ritchie have run into each other or during Adventures that are too big to have a reasonable counterpart. This means the two of them and their problems are going to end up plot relevant, especially in Sinnoh.

Anyway, here's their teams up through Orange Islands (they don't show up in the Orange Islands for the record, that's just where Ash and Maria's team list stopped so far). And yes, they both nickname their Pokemon.

Ritchie

Sparky (Pikachu)

Happy (Butterfree) (he probably caught it as a Caterpie but I'm basing the initial stage shown in the list on whatever they first get introduced as)

Naginata (Spearow)

Rooter (Venusaur)

Zippo (Charmander>Charmeleon) (evolves during his battle with Ash's Charizard, which is an actual battle this time)

Torpedo (Tentacool>Tentacruel) (evolves off-screen, not sure when that'll be revealed)

Alec (Morgrem>Grimmsnarl) (A perfect gentleman, in contrast to most of his species. Makes liberal use of Charm and Flatter.)

Sir Daniel (Cubone>Marowak) (the one I mentioned as evolving in the same match as Ash's Cubone. When he's a Cubone his skull helmet is a bit oversized and misshapen for some reason, so it covers one of his eyes and muffles his voice to the point he's almost completely unintelligible, though it doesn't seem to hinder his battling too much and it's fixed when he evolves. based on Sir Daniel Fortesque from Medievil, Because I Can)

Cowl (Arbok)

Grit, Gravel, Grunt, Grace, and Gray (five Dugtrio who Ritchie stumbled into catching in Digglet cave as Digglets. Counterparts to the Tauros Herd)

Quackers (Farfetch'd)

Flare (Beedrill)

Yogi (Ursaring) (Yes, he lives up to the name. How else would he be able to be Sorlax's counterpart?)

Laura

Cadmus (Meowth) (No, he can't talk)

Odie (Growlithe>Arcanine) (Actually evolves in the same scene he's introduced, since Laura bought a Fire Stone from the same vendor as Maria for the same reason that Maria bought Clefable's Moon Stone, at roughly the same time, and that's how they end up meeting each other.)

Rock (Squirtle) (basically Mega Man as a turtle since I made the Squirtle Squad Leader basically Sonic. Has Mega Launcher, Protean and Trace, and somehow knows Sketch, Mimic and Copycat) (yes I rotated which starter ends on what stage. because why not)

Zingo (Electrode)

Hobbs (Hitmonchan)

Grill, Grape, Grand, Gravy and Gru (The other five Dugtrio)

Mochi (Dratini)

Majesty (Nodorina>Nidoqueen) (also evolved at the Stone Vendor at the Indigo Conference because Counterparts)

Arc (Electabuzz)

Lilac (Alolan Vulpix with cybernetic augmentations. I'll explain when I'm done with the lists)

Whirl (Lapras)

...alright, so what's going on with Lilac?

Well, I needed to give them an equivalent to Mewtwo Strikes Back since Maria got a Pokemon out of it, but by that point in the timeline there's only one Mewtwo, and something Celebi-related made the most sense since Laura's connected to it somehow and Ritchie has his whole "my parents are from the future and my egg was laid there" thing, but there's no Pokemon that has a similar relationship to Celebi as the one Mewtwo has to Mew...

...so I made one up.

Celeborg is what happens when you try to take shortcuts when making a Time Machine. Some idiot Mad Scientist in the distant future decided that instead of actually working out how to travel through time, or bothering to program a proper AI, they'd instead install a Celebi DNA sample into a robot and call it a day. The resulting Reverse Cyborg went through a massive existential meltdown blowing up the lab and stumbling backwards in time in the process, and in its unstable mindset decided to make more cyborgs so it wouldn't be alone as the only Thing like itself (and also the scientist may have been working for an Evil Team so the programming that the Celebi DNA wasn't able to sub in for possibly included world domination-type stuff). Somehow Ritchie and Laura got involved and managed to calm it down and it decided to find a place in the present to live peacefully with any of the Cyborg Pokemon who were interested in staying with it.

Celeborg is Grass/Steel Type (because I continue to insist that Celebi's time powers come from its Grass typing and not its Psychic typing. though Celeborg does still learn plenty of Psychic moves) with Levitate as its usual ability and Download as a Hidden Ability. The version in the AU has both thanks to how Abilities work there. Might draw it at some point.

Doom Patrol 4x09 spoilers below the cut, non-spoiler its fucking great xD

Whoever made a wish for a musical episode, congrats and thank you xD

Always good to see Matt Bomer and Brendan Fraser in the flesh

At this point I'm just going to say I'm a multishipper cause I absolutely do ship Casey/Jane AND Jane/Shelley. Last episode already had me lowkey shipping the prior, but this episode really did push it up to about the same level as the latter. The way Casey kept looking at Jane and their chemistry with each other is just so good.

Listen, I have a weakness for sunshine & dark themed girl.

Leave it to this damn show to do a musical number about Cliff getting off

Vic trying to do his best ballad number and repeatedly getting interrupted

Why must Rita and Laura hurt my heart with their obvious gayngst like UGH Laura saying how Rita was never a monster to her. Rita interfering when Immortus was going after Laura, also her repeatedly glancing at her to check if she was okay.

Larry getting to actually introduce 104 as his bf to his found family is just more punches to the heart; not even going into 104's talk about leaving Immortus's fake world and not wanting just another case of his story being written for him.

The final number was one hell of a bop to the Opening cover that I already love

My Forever Ships

… through the years

Xena & Gabrielle

The OG lesbian ship that brought me here.

They’re the first women I ever see kiss

and I see myself like never before.

Elphaba & Glinda

My first ever ship. My first fandom.

The first time I learn subtext is another word for longing.

Pink and green look good together.

Olivia & Casey

Because who hasn’t had a Law & Order: SVU obsession.

I don’t believe Olivia is straight,

have you seen those ADAs?

Olivia & Alex, by association.

Why not? It’s hot.

Rizzoli & Isles

I love the opposites attract trope, a total fucking sucker.

These two are the weird curvy edges

that fit perfectly together.

(and holy subtext, heterosexuals)

Bo & Lauren

What is love without a lion and a lamb?

Neither can help themselves

and love always finds a way.

Kahlan & Cara

The pairing born from the actresses sexual tension.

Enemies to loves is more compelling than

two good guys falling in love.

Myka & Helena

The love story that should have been, the romance I’ll always want to write,

so justice finally meets a happy ending.

All I have to do is change the rules.

Bradley & Laura 

My current favorite, with similarities too close to home.

I’ve been here before, although my Laura did not have her shit together.

I’m both of these women. I have been and I will be.

Happy Valentines Day

To: All the ships that made me believe love is not a lie

Love, D

The FL law was in place to protect Floridians & their sitting governor from humiliation but $1 million dollars was more important to Jill Casey Black & Ron DeSantis so they CHANGED the law. 🤦‍♂️

Liar Liar Boots on Fire! 👢👢

Bootgate 👢👢👢👢

The boots dont fit your foot Ron! 🤦‍♂️

The reason Jill Casey insisted on boots:

"You are never going to be President!" 😂

If you'll lie about your height...👢

spent some time thinking about what will happen if rita peacefully passes away in her sleep, fully aware that malcom is waiting for her in the afterlife, no worries in the world

Top 5 coaches?

I'm gonna be honest here, there are only about three coaches that I actually like and know, but I'll list them for you!

3. Paula Wilkins, who was Rose Lavelle's coach at Wisconsin and took a chance on our baby midfeilder becuase she saw the potential when all the other coaches though Rosie was too small!

2. Casey Stoney, this is partially beucase I love a cooler moment, also because of the gay, and becuase she seems to care deeply about her players

And of course...the cooler queen...the number one always...Laura Harvey
