Pink Pony Club

A Bodhi Durran fic dedicated to everyone who participated in the @rq-gift-exchange.

P.S. I am feeling very needy not having an official giftee for the event. Please shower me with love and praise. (Half kidding)

Summary:

Any time Bodhi has to face the memories of his small hometown, Aretia, Tennessee, it’s painful. But after moving LA just over a year ago, he’s found a new home: at the Pink Pony Club.

As a performer at the club, he can be whoever he wants to be. He can be cool. He can be sexy. He can be expressive. He can even be himself.

Life in LA is better than he ever could have imagined. His new friends love and accept him for who he is, in a way his friends and family back home never could. He gets to dance without anyone judging him.

And tonight, he’s going to get what he wants most of all: the attention of the man at the front-left table who comes to all his shows, the one with the beautiful eyes. He doesn’t even know the man’s name yet, but Bodhi’s determined to meet him at last.

Because no matter what Mama or God may think, he is Bodhi Durran, and he is fucking beautiful.

Excerpt:

Bodhi stands in the stage-right wing, waiting, his legs jiggling nervously. He loves performing here, but ever since his parent’s disastrous visit, the excitement turns sour in the moments right before he’s announced. It’s okay to love this, he reminds himself. It doesn’t make him an abomination or an affront to God, no matter what his father says. 

He was born this way. God doesn’t make mistakes.

The crowd breaks into applause as the performer before Bodhi exits the stage. They smile at him and give him a light tap on the ass. “Go get ‘em, Coco,” they say with a wink before disappearing to their dressing room.

The emcee takes the stage, a bubbly blonde named Quinn. She’s wearing lingerie with sparkles and fringe with a cowboy hat and boots to match the blue streak in her hair. Just like that, all the nerves fade away. 

Note: While I consider this to be a hopeful fic about Bodhi being comfortable in his own skin, it includes some difficult themes from Bodhi's past including religion, homophobia, and being outed before he was ready.

Sara Novic - True Biz

Charlie has always been hearing impaired, her parents wanted her to be a normal girl and opted for an implant instead of catering for her special needs. As a result, the teenager is excluded from communication and learning as her implant never worked properly. It is only at the River Valley School for the Deaf that she discovers a world that she had been shut out from. She learns to sign and finds friends. Even though the school is a safe haven, this does not mean that people there are without problems and even golden boy Austin whose deaf family is something like a star in their community has to fight with mixed emotions when his baby sister is born hearing.

 Sara Novic opens a world which is widely unknown. “True Biz” not only narrates the story of teenagers who - like any other - have their fights with their parents but also struggle with who they are and who they want to be. Being impaired does not make this easier. Along those lines the novel opens the discussion about how to live in a society with high superficial standards when it comes to being considered “normal” and the tricky question about what is best for a child.

 Even though I was aware of some of the problems pupils face with limited hearing capacities in average schools, Charlie’s situation of being withhold proper means of communication is repelling. It would be easy to blame her parents, yet, their intentions were good, but good isn’t always the best. The same is true for the complicated case of Austin’s baby sister, decisions have to be made where there is not really a best way to go.

 One scene sticks especially with my memory. When the baby is born and Austin asked if she is ok, his father answers that she is perfect. Not too strange a reply, yet, the girl is hearing whereas Austin is not. Does this distinction make him less perfect for his parents, underlining the widespread notion of only the physically not impaired are the ones to be happy about.

 Characters that are loveable and sympathetic to follow make it easy to understand their reasoning and view of the world. A lot of information is integrated adding to the book’s enlightening for the reader. A great read in so many respects that I can only highly r

Have you ever imagined what it’s like to not experience sound? Have you ever wondered how a cochlear implant works? In her new book, True Biz, Sara Novic takes us into Riverdale Valley School for the Deaf - a place where kids are just regular kids, but communicate in different ways. There’s February, the headmistress, who’s uncertain about the future of the school and her marriage. Austin, the golden boy, who’s family has a long, proud history of deafness - and his new, little sister is born hearing. And Charlie - She struggles to understand because her implant doesn’t work and her parents didn’t allow her to learn sign. Novic pulls you into the lives of these kids and the school and opens your eyes to the obstacles they face every day. You will experience a small bit of deaf culture in these pages. Great performance from the narrators , Lisa Flanagan and Kaleo Griffith. Highly recommend this one. #truebiz #saranovic #deafculture #bookofthemonth #contemporaryfiction #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literaryfiction #homelibrary #bookrecs #characterdrivenbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CisIB_mrhtB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
