JHALEIL SWABY The Lake #2.06 "Dying to Know"

coriolanus & lucy.

"they can't see us together".

"there's a lake out in the woods".

"we can be free out there".

The Lake Thing: *grabs the MC right before they "die," possibly plays a part in getting MC over to Easthaven side and keeping them alive until Jay and Ravi come rescue them*

This paragraph right before MC gets their phone back from the lake: "The lake cradled you, embraced you. You remember the feeling of being dragged through the water. The memory hits you suddenly, crystal clear. It held you close, tender. Chosen. It kissed you like a lover, filling your mouth and caressing your lungs."

Me, lying awake at night haunted by Lake Thoughts: ...what are we??

Ahhhh that paragraph is one of my favorite bits of writing I've done 😭

Fun fact, everything going on with the lake was by and large my fiancé's favorite part of the original Easthaven campaign I ran. It was one of my favorite sessions, too.

It's going to be so much fun to get deeper into it. Because while the fog wants the MC, the lake loves them.

I've been trying to impress you since you saved me in the woods. Oh, my God. I'm sorry about that, too. For saving me? No, no, no, for getting, like, weird about NCI.

THE LAKE 2.06 ♡ Dying to Know

@bugboybuck I saw your wonderful post (great taste, totally recommending the same shows, didn't know about the last one so thanks, totally putting it on my watchlist) but didn't know if you wanted us to recommend shows on your post or elsewhere so here are some of my recommendations :

The lake

After returning from abroad following a breakup with his long-term partner, Justin plans to connect with his teenage daughter he gave up for adoption. His plans to make new memories with her at the family cottage go awry when he discovers his parents left it to his picture-perfect stepsister, Maisy-May.

The main character is gay and played by Jordan Gavaris who played Felix in orphan Black and he has a pretty love interest.

There is also other queers characters but I don't want to spoil too much.

The show kind of reminded me of schitt's Creeks for the "an assembly of funny characters are cut out from the rest of the world" kind of show. If schitt's Creeks were 10/10 on the funny and entertaining scale then The lake would be 7/10 for me. I really recommend it if you want to watch a cute and funny little show with queer undertones without some heavy thinking

It has already 2 seasons of 8 episodes each (30min each) and it's renewed for a 3rd season.

@cull3nblaze I think you could like this one 👍🏻

Instincts

A former CIA operative who has since built a "normal" life as a gifted professor and writer is pulled back into his old life when the NYPD needs his help to stop a serial killer on the loose.

It has the great Alan Cumming playing the gay older main male character, he's happily married and face some adult challenge in his personal and love life. His work partner is also not a "young" woman and she got a lovely straight pairing as well (trying not to spoil lol)

It aired in 2018, was cancelled after 2 seasons only unfortunately but I have bad memory and still I remember this show, because watching a police show with a main gay character was not common in 2018 but also because I still remember loving the characters and their personal struggles so really recommend it if you like some good police procedural drama with a good 1 cop/1 genius etc...

Smiley

Álex has just suffered a love disappointment and sends a voice message to his boyfriend in anger but the voice is received by Bruno. This mistake ends up making them meet and what begins as a date ends up having greater significance.

I already made a post about it but it's such a great and beautiful serie.

Older insecure gay and a young secure gay and older gays and older queers and lesbians and red string theory and ... Okay I will stop but totally recommend it ❤️

Skymed

Follows intense character journeys and high-stakes medical rescues, heartbreaks and tribulations of budding nurses and pilots flying air ambulances.

Hot diverse straight and queer pilots in the middle of beautiful landscapes, what more do you want ?

I'm still in the middle of watching this one so not sure about the happy endings for now but the 3rd season is going to air in 2025 so hope is there.

It's like a mix between 911 and Greys anatomy I suppose. It's like 911 but if they were all young and more willing to hookup with each other lol

It has female and male queer characters, and has great poc, I really like them so totally recommending it.

@bekolxeram I think you'll like this one 👌🏻

[young-royals-confessions]

I’m obsessed with the hammock scene, its so peaceful and they’re just quietly enjoying each other’s company. I think the lake will become their area of refuge from all the scrutiny and media attention and a place where they can just be together :(

Things look different depending on your perspective. As I see it, fighting to bridge those gaps isn't what really matters. The most important thing is to know them inside and out, as differences, and to understand why certain people are the way they are.
