I can't believe it's been over a year since I last drew them together properly (respectfully looking away from the failed attempt to draw the temple kiss scene, but I'll get back to you🫵🏻🫵🏻)

youre monogamous? oh… it’s ethical, right? ethical monogamy? okay good for you! i mean pretty much every monogamous couple i’ve met didn’t work out but maybe you guys will beat the odds! haha. so is it a sex thing? you guys have sex with- just each other? huh. how does that work? i could never do monogamy, i’m too jealous, i’d worry my partner would leave me for someone else instead of dating us both… how do you deal with the jealousy? is it hard? like, how hard? extremely? do you think you’ll break up? i mean in the long run these things rarely work out,

trope i really like is self-loathing characters desperate for the catharsis of punishment for frankly rather selfish reasons who r also obsessed with repeatedly pressing others into hating them and hurting them as essentially a method of self harm. yes pls continue making it worse for urself and everybody around u instead of doing an actually productive and effective journey of improvement

A photo Robin sent to Andrew with a meaningful “we miss you:)”

[writingpuddle]

A line in the All for the Game series i think about way to often is when Andrew gives Neil a phone and Neil says he doesn’t have a phone because he has no one to call. His mother’s dead, he’s been on the run his whole life and connection was never an option for him. And then Andrew says,

“Question for you, Neil. Do I look dead to you?”

That line. That line.

It hits like a punch because it’s Andrew’s way of saying:

You can call me. I’m not dying on you.

And that’s everything.

Because Neil is saying, I don’t let myself need anyone. Everyone I’ve ever cared about is either dead or gone.

He’s saying, There’s no one who would pick up if I called.

And Andrew looks him dead in the eye and basically says:

Yes, there is. Me.

But Andrew doesn’t say things plainly. He never does. His version of reassurance is razor-sharp and disguised as a challenge. “Do I look dead to you?” sounds sarcastic on the surface, classic Andrew. But underneath that? He’s saying, I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going to be another name on your list of losses. You don’t have to be scared of losing me too.

That line is one of the most meaningful in the series because it’s the moment where Andrew starts to give Neil the thing he never thought he would get, not just a reason to stay but someone who will stay with him. Someone who won’t leave him.

You’re allowed to need me, you can call me, I will be here, I will stay with you.

Asexual people who feel pressured into having sex when they don’t want to and queer people that are afraid or ashamed of having sex even though they want to are actually being repressed by the same societal forces but nobody seems to want to talk about that

Had this idea…forgot how long the roast actually was, but i was too far in to stop. Proceeded to spend three days on it. Happy with how it turned out tho :)

also idk why it’s kinda blurry until you click on it?

"You know, I get it. Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you’re worth a damn off the court— yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time. I know it’s not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you’re physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don’t think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. Pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone." -Neil Josten, The Foxhole Court

“What would it take to make you stay?”

The question was so unexpected Neil had to turn back. “What?”

Andrew laughed quietly at his shock and leaned forward. “Name it and it’s yours. It doesn’t matter what it is so long as you stand your ground here with us.”

there are people in the notes of the teacher crush poll just casually confessing to some of the most psychologically fascinating shit imaginable like it's completely normal to say. got somebody in there saying they never had a crush on a teacher because they automatically hate literally any woman old enough to be their mother. hello.

what are those weird goalkeeper talking about

tbh, sometimes the “platonic explanation for this” is the more interesting one

Reason #13668893+316i why we are in this mess.

Democrats passed the affordable care act, passed the infrastructure bill, got rid of junk fees, lowered prescription costs, gave civil rights, protections, forgave student loans, etc.

Everything the republicans are doing is undoing the work of democrats. Yall would rather sit there on your flat asses and make these weakass centrist takes than actually have the courage to face what is happening with clarity.

But yall let these false ideas spread and become the common thought and you allow the fascist to creep in. The american apathy and aversion to the truth is why we are here!

“I wish I could be a boy” You can

“I wish I could penetrate but I don’t have a penis” There’s a surgery for that

“I want to piss standing up” The surgery does that too, but also have you heard of an STP device? You should look into those

“I like the effects testosterone could give me but what if people think I’m ugly after I start” would you rather be happy and ugly or beautiful and miserable

“I want to cut my hair short and look more like a guy but everyone is begging me to not cut my hair” bestie, it’s your hair and they can go fuck themselves

“I wish I was born a boy” The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is today

“I wish I was a boy” I have great news for you

I know we are all used to hear bad news from the USA or UK when it comes to trans rights but this time Germany wants to play in the same league.

Our idiots at home ministry came up with the fucking idea to start a register for all transgender and nonbinary people which would mean every person working at some public position could always at any given time see your assigned gender at birth, your deadname, your address and who knows what else.

We had been there in the past. Hitler Germany called it the "Travestite Law" back then. Our politicians didn't learn.

We all know this is unacceptable.

Please, if you are German, sign it. If you are not, spread it wide and far.

This had been stopped once a few years ago. It needs to be stopped again.
