The Author Reveal
(spoilers)
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
-Fleetwood Mac, Landslide
Preston Ezekiel Lithwick III died on March 17th, 1982. His side of Janine Moore’s story was dispensed over the years that the author knew him, with the final story of his divorce given in his hospital room the day he died of lung cancer, a silver-haired Luis still at Preston’s side holding his hand. It was this final interview that sparked the idea for this book.
Preston willed his wealth to a variety of charities, including the Lithwick-Diaz Foundation for Wayward Children. It was a foundation dedicated to providing safe and comfortable living environments and group homes to queer and homeless children left behind by the system. Ever since he conceded that first argument to Janine all of those years ago, Preston always said that his wealth needed to be used to better the world.
Preston willed his heirlooms and houses to Luis, to Luis’ nephew Sammy, and to the author of this book, Annette Moore.
I received the house Preston always kept in Washington. It came with the last of Preston’s famous notes:
Here’s a place to raise all of your dogs, Annie. Make sure to name one David Jr. for me.
—P. E. L. M.
Just for the record, I did.
And then I named Davey’s son Zeke—short for Ezekiel.
-Kenna Jenkins, Burn the House Down

Looking respectfully
(EDIT: fellas, it’s really not that deep. Anyone starting beef over this stupid drawing getting blocked, i dont care to argue with people who come and judge me (a stranger) in bad faith. A bit dissapointed that this joke post is what’s getting the most attention but alas that’s the internet for ya i guess.)

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!
unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!
tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.
bonus rules:
you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny
take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)
apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender
have fun and be yourself!
