BREAKING NEWS!!! Local idiot ghost absolutely blown away when boyfriend gives him a nickname for the first time, more info after this broadcast.
Bonus pet-name edition:
(Yeah I know it's ooc for grovyle to EVER use the term "babe" but lets go ahead and assume he's done it accidentally a few times rather than intentionally. He's deeply in love with the dumb ghostman, ok. Sometimes it just slips out.)
Dusknoir is still recovering from hearing it. And when he finally calls grovyle "love" himself on accident a few days later, he falls deathly ill for two weeks cause his body couldn't handle the aftermath and started rapidly shutting down on a molecular level.

It started as a random idea, more like a throwaway thought, really. Tommy was just checking the weather for the next few days – his hot pilot boyfriend always likes to be prepared – while they were hanging out, and he casually mentioned that “it’s gonna be nice on Saturday, perfect barbecue weather,” which got Buck to mention how they often have family barbecues at Bobby and Athena’s. Somehow, the conversation spiraled, and Buck’s not sure who threw out a more concrete idea, but here they are now, standing side by side in Tommy’s kitchen, preparing food – Buck’s currently slicing veggies for a salad, while Tommy takes care of the meat – for the barbecue where they invited way too many people than Tommy’s backyard can probably fit. It really is nice weather, the sliding door leading from the kitchen to the backyard open and letting in warm sunshine and a soft breeze that makes the air feel cooler. They work in pleasant silence, the only sound is quiet music playing from the speaker, and Buck can’t help a fond smile when he hears his boyfriend hum along, so off-key Buck’s not sure he even knows the song, but it’s still adorable.
The silence is disrupted by the doorbell ringing, and before Tommy can even move, Buck is dropping the knife on the cutting board, wiping his hands, and sprinting towards the door, shouting an “I got it!” over his shoulder. He’s followed by an echo of Tommy’s fondly amused chuckles. So he’s a little excited, sue him – they haven’t had a family day like this in a while, and there was only one he brought Tommy to, all of their schedules not so easy to align. And today his whole family will be here, including their spouses and children, and Tommy invited a couple of his friends and their families, too, and it’ll be just a big, loud, chaotic get-together that he’s hosting with his boyfriend. Buck never hosted one of these before, and he’s really enjoying it so far, and he just wants everyone to have fun.

i will forever have a love/hate but mostly hate relationship with this butch interaction bc (if you dont have the dlc) you're literally abt to sacrifice yourself and all you can do is beg him to go in for u which obviously he WONT, and hes like HELL NO MAN! (which is just so funny to me its so spot on, hes my funny guy) but its like WHERE IS THE OPTION TO PROPERLY SAY GOOD BYE TO EACH OTHER?????
you can literally say goodbye to Dogmeat and its so emotional but you cant say goodbye to someone you grew up with, the only person you have thats familiar to you from the Vault?!!?!?! NOT ONLY THAT BUT, I KNOW FOR A FACT BUTCH WOULD BE UPSET LIKE? HIS ONLY FRIEND OUT HERE IS GOING TO SACRIFICE THEMSELVES, AND ALSO KNOWING WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH? Butch literally looks up to the LW and to see them die, not being able to do anything would never sit right with him EVER, you cannot tell me im wrong.
sigh........ whatever *looks out the window sobbing dramatically*
like we are on our nine billionth positivity post for cis men with beards and masculine trans men and feminine lesbians and bi people in m/f relationships and nb people who are comfortable passing as their agab etc.... do we need more? is straight people not being able to tell you're gay/trans really the biggest issue facing lgbt people right now?
there seems to be this undiminishable reservoir of care and sympathy for the very idea of having ur queerness slighted in any context. meanwhile people who never get the choice whether or not to hide it are routinely dehumanised, othered, and ignored. if the issues facing these groups do get discussed it's almost never with much concern for their feelings. invalidation and erasure may be one of the issues facing lgbt people and it deserves attention too but I really don't think you can claim at this point that it isn't getting its fair share already.
for what it's worth, even your hypothetical most flaming butch lesbian/fem gay man/androgynous nb person etc still meets people who assume they're cishet, who even actively refuse to acknowledge that they're not. the false equivalence between erasure and overt prejudice alleged exclusively by those who largely experience only the former is in fact erasing the reality of people who experience both
this will FOREVER be my fav video on the internet i just think it's perfect:
- board slide ^_^ what was that! (board slide?) yeaa ^_^
- [bloodcurling scream] HELP ME AUSTIN!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
- It was this damn ass rock 🙄
- OWWW my ASSS... my left butt cheek is siiiilllyy 😭..... i didnt wanna fall 🫤 I didnt break any bones-
- GOODY :D ! ........uh. Thats a good bail on film tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But you wanna know what happened is this damn ass rock 🙄 [play-by-play of the incident] And then heres that damn ass fucking gay damn ass rock.... U wanna keep it and pee on it?
- [other kid still on the ground] NO....... I WANT.... I WANNA LIVE
- Yyyyouuuu can live 🤨 But do you wanna keep the rock and pee on it [drops it] oh wait.. oh... it's right here ^_^ [insistently] Ok Do You Wanna Do Something Gay To The Rock, Like Pee On It
- WHY WOULD NATURE DO THAT TO ME...... CAN YOU PLEASE STOP VIDEO TAPING ME
i feel rly sad and conflicted abt one of my best friends on earth but idk who to ask for advice bc i usually would have consulted her in this situation lmao
i honestly love that people's first response to someone not wanting kids is to call them selfish. like sorry, who am i impacting? bc the only one that has an issue here is you :)
Do you personally believe they are still together? I’ve seen so much discourse on this and I personally believe they are, but I think you are very wise on your opinions and would like to know what you think!
I was talking to @jaerie today about when Louis and Harry are going to disappear and raise the baby we just know is coming, if that answers your question about what I think about Harry and Louis being together 🤣
I haven’t seen any discourse you might be referring to but I really do live by the thing the wise and now gone Fluff said in relation to Louis and Harry being together “just because I haven’t been to or seen my favorite restaurant in awhile doesn’t mean I think it’s closed”
Aka I kinda just assume Harry and Louis are happily chugging along in their life together because I am of the belief they have a healthy, loving relationship and they are no longer at the point where they need to signal/showcase they are together as often as they have been 🤷🏼♀️
was absolutely shocked and saddened to learn that I've become my father if he was a left leaning semi-communist. so that's pretty horrifying and life ruining.
(i realized in looking for this answer that a lot of songs i think are 80s are actually either 70s or 90s. so thats fun.)
What's Love Got to Do with It by Tina Turner is for sure high up on the list. her voice, man. Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears, a cover of which was my ringtone for years. Jump by Van Halen, bc i cant not have a VH song.
now you might think bfs not yet existing in the 80s should mean i cant answer them for this (though the 3/4 of the og guys were in high school meeting one another in 86 and all learning to play around that time) however they've been known to do a cover on occasion (1985 is a cover of an SR-71 song) so also Summer of '69, originally released by Bryan Adams in 1985 and covered by Bowling for Soup on their 2000 album Let's Do It For Johnny
18:A song from the year that you were born
i looked at the '1995 in Music' Wikipedia page as well as the billboard top 100 for this, and some that i found are just very funny to me.
Only Wanna Be With You- Hootie & the Blowfish
All I Wanna Do- Sheryl Crow
Cotton Eye Joe- Rednex
Waterfalls- TLC
I'll Be There For You- The Rembrandts
Just a Girl- No Doubt
Kiss From a Rose- Seal
Run Around- Blues Traveler
When I Come Around- Green Day
Wonderwall- Oasis
You Oughta Know- Alanis Morissette
Zombie- The Cranberries
Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under- Shania Twain
to me some of them are just So Big it's wild to think there was a time they didn't exist. and just... me and Wonderwall being born the same year, one of us wildly more successful than the other. it makes me laugh.
also technically released in 1994 on their self titled debut album (just three months after their formation!) i will also go with Nebraska by Bowling For Soup since it was out and about at the time.
29:A song that you remember from your childhood
im sure ive said this before somewhere, but i grew up listening to late 90s/early 2000a country, which undoubtedly did irreparable damage to my psyche but also is the reason i knew from an early age that i was queer (even if i didnt want to admit it then) i remember being so in love with Shania Twain in the UP! music video and the hot waitress from Alan Jackson's I Dont Even Know Your Name. Drive (for Daddy Gene) also by Alan Jackson was very big in our house. then my sister was big into Britney Spears and i was very anti pop music, which made sharing a room suuuuper fun (also we're eight years apart, so add thay layer in) but now whenever i hear any Britney songs i think of being a kid.
and the bfs answer is High School Never Ends, even though i was like 14 or 15 when i started listening. my childhood best friend showed me 1985 one day and i became obsessed. my favorite was always HSNE and i played it constantly
