Text (Danny): You up for a party tomorrow, princess?

Text: Sure, Sir! What's the occasion?

Text: Getting to be your girl is more spoiling than I or anyone deserves as far as I’m concerned, but I know you too well to even attempt fighting against being spoiled even further. I’ll just have to make sure you feel appropriately appreciated for all the spoiling. ;)

Text: I.e. the reaction you get from every male-inclined woman who sets their eyes on you. The difference is that I’ll be trying so, so hard not to let you see how you’re affecting me…which, naturally, will make the response that much more intense and fun for you to play with~.

Text: That's my girl. And I'll need inspiration with Christmas on the horizon as well so I can spoil you as I please.

Text: I'm sure you'll think of something my clever girl. Fogged glasses, squirming in your seat, trying to hide how heavy you're breathing - sounds delicious to me.

Neil Gaiman is still following the PR playbook

I'm so sick of how Neil Gaiman is continuing to manipulate the conversation while displaying ZERO accountability or remorse.

Do you think him leaking that he's apparently offering to step back from Good Omens Season 3 is a sign that he realizes he fucked up and is trying to make it right? Absolutely not.

What he's doing is making the first moves to launder his reputation so that he can keep making money off of his IP and, eventually, return to the spotlight. All of the overjoyed reactions here and elsewhere are part of that plan.

One part of that Deadline article really stuck out to me.

[Highlighted Text: Deadline understands Gaiman’s offer is not an admission of wrongdoing...

Gaiman’s position is that he denies the allegations and is said to be disturbed by them.]

This is what makes me think that it is actively irresponsible to publicly celebrate or advocate for the continuation of any media project that involves or enriches Gaiman. The fact that Amazon has even announced that Good Omens is on hold shows the credibility of the accusations. And yet Gaiman leaking this information suddenly puts them on the backfoot. "Just take the deal!" cries the fandom. Neil is no longer the bad guy, it's Amazon who are now denying you your comfort show. It's blatant manipulation and it sickens me that it might actually work.

Boosting Good Omens or Sandman or Coraline at this time is not a victimless crime. True, no one person is going to be the difference between Gaiman facing consequences or not. But it's public opinion that will truly determine whether his legacy will be impacted. That's why he's spent a considerable amount of money on the same PR firm as Russell Brand, Prince Andrew, Danny Masterson, and Marilyn Manson. Their specialty is helping rapists get their lives back.

So please think of the long-term implications of breathing a sigh of relief and going back to posting about Good Omens, or signing a petition that gives Gaiman a way out of finally facing the consequences of his own actions.

Yes, none of these shows were 100% made by Gaiman. It sucks that this is going to affect people other than him. But maybe he shouldn't have chosen to sexually abuse at least 5 women and very likely more. In a just world, you fuck around and find out.

SHARING INTERESTING STORIES ABT MY LIFE BC ITS BORING ASF PT 3

this happened today

I was genuinely so scared when this happened. Today at a halloween party there was a fight going on I think. I was having a good time with my friend Morgan. While we were dancing I heard people screaming and everyone was running out the entrance and the music stopped and the lights turned on.

while me and Morgan were running she said that it was a shooter because she heard a loud bang so I started panicking. We stayed in the lobby for a bit while she called her mom and I texted mine to pick us up. Morgan left and I was outside waiting for my mom. I was asking everyone if they knew what was going on but very little people knew. My phone died while I was on call with my mom and I was on the verge of tears. I tried to listen to other people’s conversations and tried to connect them with a conversation I had. Here’s what I could gather up and what I think happened:

My friends bf Danny said that he was trying to protect his cousin from getting jumped by his bullies (aka the whole soccer team). And near the end of the party a kid named Ian was pressing Danny’s cousin abt something and his friends tried to jump him. A kid named Andrew tried to protect Danny’s cousin and that’s when everyone started running. A boy named Jeffery (who got unsuspended yesterday) started to fight off Ian and once everyone started running he ran out the back door, which is why nobody could find him after. Then people started running to the front of the school where a kid named Rylan (no not lil rye) and Brody started fighting (Brody won). I’m not sure what happened after that.

Moral if the story: I don’t have one for this.

Ps: i Wanna end with a good note so here’s a photo I took during the party.

My friend Mikey was Furry cat Pete wentz and I was vampire Gerard Way in a skirt 😍

The text of the letter and names of the celebrities that signed it under the cut.

"October 23, 2023 

Dear President Biden,

We are heartened by Friday’s release of the two American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan and by today’s release of two Israelis, Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz, whose husbands remain in captivity.

But our relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people, including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death. They were taken by Hamas in the savage massacre of October 7, where over 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered - women raped, families burned alive, and infants beheaded. 

Thank you for your unshakable moral conviction, leadership, and support for the Jewish people, who have been terrorized by Hamas since the group’s founding over 35 years ago, and for the Palestinians, who have also been terrorized, oppressed, and victimized by Hamas for the last 17 years that the group has been governing Gaza.

We all want the same thing: Freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace. Freedom from the brutal violence spread by Hamas. And most urgently, in this moment, freedom for the hostages. 

We urge everyone to not rest until all hostages are released. No hostage can be left behind. Whether American, Argentinian, Australian, Azerbaijani, Brazilian, British, Canadian, Chilean, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Eritrean, Filipino, French, German, Indian, Israeli, Italian, Kazakh, Mexican, Panamanian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, South African, Spanish, Sri Lankan, Thai, Ukrainian, Uzbekistani or otherwise, we need to bring them home.

There's also Epic of Gilgamesh by Danny P Jackson, but for me personally not really recommended to OP since it skips some parts that are crucial in my opinion (like Enkidu turned to bless Shamhat after cruelly cursing her, completely speedrun battle with Humbaba with just like 6 short sentence) and for writer's bias toward non-sexual brotherly relationship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu (which indeed still valid interpretation but not one I agree with). For example his rendering on one of gayest Gilgamesh and Enkidu segment in tablet 12 :

(I mean, whether old translation that said Enkidu described some female lover's vulva to Gilgamesh or translation that said Enkidu described his own penis and 'sweet spot' to Gilgamesh, for me the bits about Underworld have no sex and Gilgamesh despaired about it is kinda important for Gilgamesh's characterization as my horny himbo imho. But again that's up to interpretation. Still "skin and bones" is eh... The book also skipped any mention of kiss, which is lame).

But all flaws aside, you can enjoy this book for your Gilga-archiving or seeing different kind of perspective (while enjoying the writer's effort on no-homoing Gilgamesh's Wet Dream part and Lament for Enkidu part). This book also composed with pretty neat rhyme so it's more pleasant to read, plus some rad illustrations like this one :

And this is the quote I love most from this book

“Hold my hand in yours, and we will not fear what hands like ours can do.”

P:S = @haustafall HOLY MARDUK I DESPERATELY NEED THE DEREK HINES GILGAMESH PLAY PRETTY PLEASE TELL ME WHERE CAN I HAVE IT (preferable the e-book version)

can anyone on this gay ass website give me an opinion on which translation of the epic of gilgamesh i should read? ive been wanting to read it for ages but theres a number of common translations and i know translations can make or break a story; i dont want to start with the wrong one

1) Noah always tries to convince Troy to audition for a musical just for fun but Troy always says he likes watching Noah too much

2) Andrew is so worried when Danny gets his job, for the first month he always goes there to hang out and do his homework during Danny's shifts to make sure everything is okay (he's also pleasantly surprised at how accommodating they are about him having a service dog)

3) Danny didn't tell Hayden when he applied for the job, once he gets the offer he texts and asks if that's okay with Hayden/if it would be weird for him but it mattered to know that he got hired for his own merit and not as Hayden's friend

i just think stanley and richard sending the softest and oddest and most endearing dad texts ever, while danny and henri are much more brusque and concise, and etienne loves the emojis, and renée sends super long texts bc she types fast and she has a lot to say, and ramsay prefers phone calls but he'll text u, dw, just randomly and at weird hours, and nate's allergic to punctuation, and then the kids exist. victor sending photos of his new plants. eli sending links to free music tickets. tina likes sending voice messages, but gabriela will never listen to them, so she stays loyal to the written text. tim always invites you over for food during these texts, while sam tries to cajole you into taking her to a party, and elena just sends the most brutally honest shit without warning. andrew uses a nokia. aisling pleaded with him to let her get him a more modern phone, but he likes the nokia. no emojis. you get a lot of text talk tho.

Heist stands out as a solid entry in the crime thriller genre, with David Mamet’s distinctive touch elevating its intricate plot and character dynamics. Despite its underperformance at the box office, it remains a notable film for fans of heist stories and those interested in the psychological interplay within a criminal team.

Text (Danny): I know this is me being clingy and totally not macho but will you stay with me while this stupid trip goes down?

Text: If I've ever made you feel insecure about supposed clinginess or an impossible lack of 'macho' alpha-male energy, I'm not doing my job as your girl. Of course, I'll stay with you. There's nowhere I'd rather be, and you're not an ounce less of a man for wanting my support. In fact, I'd be concerned if you didn't want it. @domdannyandrews

[daisyblossomsub]

Text: Mmm, I love your caveman brain, Sir. <3 I'm happy we found each other too, and now that the masks are down, I say we both find our man as soon as possible - to make up for lost time.

Text: Well, I can and will always condone that sort of selfishness. I want you to take whatever you want from me, whenever you want...and if that happens to be a hot, messy orgasm on your handsome face, well, I certainly won't complain. In fact, I won't have the capacity to form a sentence, knowing you and your talents as intimately as I do.

Text: My caveman brain is very happy about that. I did have some fun with a couple other people but sadly I didn't find our man. I'm happy I found you though.

Text: I'll give you a week of reprieve. It's selfish really, it's been far too long since you've come apart on my tongue.

Coming Clean | Nate and Danny

Who: Nate Mantle and Danny Andrews @domdannyandrews Where: Danny's suite When: Morning, 03.23 Notes: Nate admits to using and cheating. TW: addiction, drug mentions, mentions of physical abuse, cheating

The night before had been... something. He certainly hadn't expected to get a text like that from his brother of all people - and his heart nearly stopped when he realized Nate was involved. Both of his best guys in trouble with the cops? Luckily Danny had been able to get them both home, though he wished he had fought harder for Noah to stay. Nate wasn't really in any state to talk, and it was obvious something else had gone down considering he could smell the booze on his boyfriend. So after a sleepless night, Danny slipped out of bed, curling onto the couch in his living room with a hot coffee as he waited for Nate to wake up. He wasn't angry at his boyfriend for slipping up. If his dad was the reason, he understood. But something tickled low in his stomach, an inkling that there was more to the story. He heard shuffling earlier than he thought he would, and he looked up when Nate came into the room. "Hey. There's coffee, if you want," he said quietly, tilting his head towards the kitchen.

It took Nate a solid 5 minutes to realize where he was. The sharp pain in his head and stomach made worse by the blinding lights from the window. He smiled when he realized he was in Danny’s bed, which faded quickly when the memories of the night before flew into his mind. “Oh fuck,” he groaned running a hand down his face in frustration. He willed himself to get up, knowing he had to face the music. He walked into the main room wearing the clothes he wore the previous night. “Oh, no that’s alright. I should actually get going, honestly,” he said, his face still feeling heavy as the bruise on his eyes made itself more known, and his ribs still pulsing in dull pain.

Hurt flickered over his face. Now Nate didn't even want to talk to him? "I think first we should talk, yeah?" he suggested, setting his mug on the coffee table. The tone of his voice made it seem like less of a suggestion but not quite an order. "You wanna tell me what happened last night? It's not often I have to go into town and pick up my brother and my boyfriend from police custody," Danny said, aiming for a smile and failing considering how exhausted he was.

He closed his eyes softly with a deep breath. Yes, they needed to talk. But no, he didn’t want to and he was not well enough for this. “If I tell you, you’re going to want me to leave anyway,” he answered honestly. He walked closer to where Danny sat, but he didn’t sit himself. He sighed hotly, “I was on my way to a meeting when I ran into my father. And he started in on his shit - I was worthless and a disgrace and all that. And I had an attitude with him because he was wrong and he punched me a couple times,” he said pointing to his face. “And I should have just gone into the meeting. I know that, Danny, but I didn’t wanna go before cleaning up and the only thing open was the Wyrm. But on the way in, I ran into a Serpent who sold me some coke. And I…I’m sorry,” he said honestly, pain welling in his swollen eye. “But I’ve been fighting it for weeks. I could barely keep my head above water and I…I fucked up. So I took the hit and then decided to sit at the bar for a drink because I’d already fucked up.”

Danny fought to keep his face neutral. He knew Nate was beating himself up about relapsing, and he wasn't here to heap on the guilt. He couldn't keep himself from frowning when Nate mentioned how his dad hit him - wow he didn't think he could get that pissed that fast at someone - but he let out a breath to calm his temper. Nate was the priority here. Getting to his feet, he crossed to his boyfriend and took his hands in his own, squeezing his fingers lightly. "Am I thrilled you slipped up? No. Am I angry at you? Also no. Sobriety is fucking hard, babe, and you've been stressing about your dad visiting among other shit. There's other choices you could have made, sure, but you know you fucked up, and you'll learn from it, yeah?" He gently pushed some of Nate's hair from his eyes. "What happened after that? You and Noe were pretty beat up when I found you with the cops," he prompted, knowing there was more to the story.

When Danny got up to move closer, all Nate wanted was to crash into him, hold him, keep him close. Of course he was saying all the most wonderful things and each one hit Nate in the gut harder because he knew he didn’t deserve it. He kept a short distance away from Danny, knowing this part was hardest. “Before Noah got there, I ran into an old friend,” he said softly. “His names Mateo and he used to go to school here and we were best friends. We were…more than that,” he said. Nate made himself meet Danny’s eyes, “you are the love of my life, baby, I swear. But you’re not my first love,” he admitted softly. “And we got to talking and old feelings started swirling and before I could think straight - I was kissing him.” Admitting this was hard, he could feel a burn slide down his throat as he swallowed. “And then I stopped it, and he left and that’s when Noah came in.”

He didnt' push, though he ached to hold his man close, to prove this slip up wasn't going to drive him away. Danny knew what he was getting into once Nate told him about his addictions. And, everyone had a past, right? How could he be mad at Nate for having love for someone else before him? But then - His throat worked on a hard swallow, realization coming slowly after the initial reaction of feeling like he had been punched in the chest. He and Nate weren't monogamous, obviously, but they had an unspoken (mostly unspoken) agreement that other Dominants weren't part of that. And this wasn't Nate hooking up with Sam at a masquerade ball, where they were only two strangers. This was Nate, choosing to kiss someone else - someone he'd loved and lost. Danny pressed his lips together, his hands falling from where they had been holding Nate's. "You kissed him?" he asked faintly.

He breathed out slowly, trying to keep his emotions in check as much as he could as he watched the information process within him. “Yes,” he admitted his voice cracking but he tried to keep himself stoic. He didn’t want to lose it and make it seem like he wasn’t taking this seriously. “Baby, I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry,” he said honestly, “I messed up, I know I did, and I’ll do whatever I have to. Anything to prove how much I love you and how sorry I am.” He cleared his throat quickly, “then Noah was trying to get me out of the bar, and these Ghoulie assholes came up on us and pushed Noah to the ground, so I hit him. And then the cops showed up, spewed some bullshit to Noah about how your dad wouldn’t be proud of him right now, and I got pissed at them and started yelling. But then they said to call you before anything got worse. And that’s everything.”(edited)

The whole thing about Noah barely registered if he was being honest. Sure some low level rage bubbled in his stomach, but most of his body felt cold with shock. Danny didn’t know how to process the fact that Nate did what he did, knowingly. No one had ever cheated on him before. “I see. I should - I guess I should talk to Noah then,” he muttered, running a hand over his hair.

The fact Danny wasn’t saying anything hurt more than anything he could have thrown at Nate. “Baby please,” he said, his voice bordering on cracking if he wasn’t careful. “I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry. Please…please just talk to me.”

“I don’t know what to say, Nate,” he admitted in a shaky voice. Grief, rage, anger, sadness, jealousy - all those things he could handle. But the cold lance of hurt deep in his stomach was unfamiliar, and he didn’t understand how to process it. “You… you kissed someone else. Someone you love. It’s - is he still in town?”

That was fair, he couldn’t fault the man for being without words at the moment. “Loved,” he corrected, “past tense.” He ran his hand down his face, wincing when he’d forgot about the bruising. “I don’t know. Maybe? I would guess. His claim is Madeline’s brother so I know they’re all visiting.”

He inhaled sharply, letting it out on a slow, unsteady exhale. “Loved.” Danny struggled not to let his thoughts spiral, like they had with Daisy, wondering if he would turn out to be someone Nate talked about in past tense as well. “Are you - do you want to see him again? While he’s here?”

Nate shook his head, “no. Not like that anyway. I mean, if I hadn’t have fucked up I would have liked to catch up with him and introduce you to him and all that. But, no. You’re the only relationship I’m concerned about right now.”

Another hard swallow made his throat bob visibly, still struggling to process what was happening. What had happened. “Did -“ Danny paused, wiping sweaty palms against his pajama pants. “Did I do anything to…” he tried to ask, wondering if he’d done anything to make Nate feel like he needed to seek intimacy elsewhere.

Nate immediately started shaking his head and taking a step towards Danny. “No, no baby you didn’t do anything. You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever known. You’ve been nothing but supportive and you’ve been putting up with all my shit. This is all me. I fucked up, you didn’t do anything at all,” he promised. He wanted to hold him, wrap his arms around Danny and never let go. But, he needed to let Danny drive this, determine when he was okay with it, if he ever would be again. “This is not an excuse,” he began, “but I was not in my right mind, Eros. I swear, I’d never do something like that if I was. But that doesn’t excuse it, because I still did it and I’m so, so sorry.”

He let out a short breath, running a hand over his hair, shifting back as Nate stepped forward. If there was anything in this world he knew with certainty, he knew he loved Nate, and Daisy. He'd heard that to love someone was to allow them the ability to hurt you, but he didn't think it would ever feel like this. "I love you, Nate," he said slowly, willing his voice not to shake. "That... that won't change. But I need a - I need to process this."

Nate allowed Danny to create distance between them, though it broke his heart to watch him back away like that. Like Nate had just completely destroyed him. His damaged heart fluttered at the words, but dropped a bit at Danny's next words. "Yeah...that's fair," he agreed. He turned towards the door a few steps before half turning back towards the other, "I love you, Danny," he said simply and truthfully, "I swear it." With a soft breath he turned back towards the door and made his way towards it.

Danny bit the inside of his lip, looking up to the gorgeous man he knew he couldn't be without. "I know," he said quietly, looking away before he could watch Nate walk out the door. He sank down to the couch, burying his face in his hands, trying to ignore the burning behind his eyes.
