There was always this frantic quality to Buck's relationships

With Abby it was.. I need to be a better man, I need to be the bigger person, I need to be understanding

With Ali it was ... I need to change something

With Taylor it was... I have to make it work

With Natalia it was... I need to be quick with this cause who knows if I'm running out of time/I need to use the lightning strike as a wake up call

And then there is Tommy

Tommy who makes the first step but then lets him breathe through it for a moment

Tommy who asks HIM out

Tommy who cares that Buck doesn't do anything he's not ready for

Yes, Buck is a little frantic with the date but

Tommy gives him room and grace and understanding

And then the coffee date!!!

For the first time we see Buck AT EASE looking at a romantic connection with someone

Is he still Buck, and moves a little head over heels? Of course he is!

But it's not cause he's desperate

It's cause he's EXCITED

He's filled with so much joy and excitement

and for the first time he has no outlined plan with a relationship, no map he's following

Instead he allows himself to discover and explore this relationship and this part of himself

He's so excited about it

So free and bright and content with it

Tommy really stopped that hamster wheel and showed him a new way and

Buck is guided by that inner light of his now, without trying to direct it

And he's not looking for what's missing, what's wrong or following a plan

He just lets himself be and experience and explore and discover

And just

The sheer joy and ease of it all

I can't!

Go, Evan, go and spread your wings and explore that joy

You deserve it so much

😭😭😭😭

#evan buckley #Bi Buck #BuckTommy #tommy kinard #911 abc #Like my heart is so full #It's the joy and excitement of it all #And it's not only about the QUEER joy he's experiencing but just #His personal one that is very much connected to his queerness but it feels like he's unlocked another path to it #cause this part of him is now there and he can experience this relationship as his full self #I'm just #My heart is so full #Evan buckley meta

I finally finished reading the fourth volume of svsss in full, and thing is--the first time through I only read the bingqiu content because I was ravenous for more of their happy ending.

Turns out that was a perilous mistake.

Because I started reading the airplane extras. And I swear to god. MXTX is trying to kill me

What do you MEAN demon lord Binghe was sitting on his big fucking throne. All stoic and forbidding. Surrounded by his demon generals who don't know shit about human courtship. Asking them what he should do, fully demoralized by constant rejections from sqq, only to have airplane tell him to act more pathetic and needy. Which is already hysterically funny and insane, UNTIL LBH'S RESPONSE IS THIS, KILLING ME INSTANTLY:

LUO BINGHE. WHY DOES HE SAY IT LIKE: "I already tried that, didn't work--nothing works :/ not mean, not maidenly, not housewife, not spicy, not capable disciple. Is doubling down on clingy really all it will take? What's a born hater with only one love in his life to do????"

The dichotomy of him sitting there like 'how can I reach the unfathomable depths of shizun's heart?' A HEART HE'S ALREADY WON OVER, MIND and then in the Holy Mausoleum solving the puzzle without blinking and being like 'oh yeah you just have to hit the acupoints, no sweat.' Literally the comedy writes itself I'm so--

How am I supposed to be normal about this. MXTX understands the juicy quintessential queer joy of a person with the world's power at their fingertips wishing only for love. Willing to do anything to earn that love, when unbeknownst to them it's already been freely given. Totally not screaming and yelling and clawing at the walls

And that's not even touching airplane's uproarious account of events. The way he's like 'lol what's next, lbh and sqq are best friends now? smfh' only to see lbh TACKLE SQQ LOVINGLY. FOR SQQ TO BE BASHFUL ABOUT IT BUT SO SO FOND OF THE LITTLE SCAMP. This when we've been experiencing sqq's constant inner monologue of 'I'm so cool and so dignified about my role, truly the epitome of propriety and poser-level fortitude.' Meanwhile, in their universe:

Airplane constantly flaming???? Sqq and lbh in his observations????? His absolute bewilderment and confusion????? Legendary. No notes every single second of this shit was hilarious.

Airplane's comment that sqq + older adolescent lbh traveling together was just watching a couple in their honeymoon phase. OR the fact that lbh is exceedingly petty and refuses to share their food in the wake of airplane's interruption of their time together, until sqq relents sheepishly and insists airplane eat what's left (ONLY AFTER PLACATING LBH WITH MORE FOOD FROM HIS PLATE, SOBBING)

Watching airplane salivate over Mobei-Jun and acting like that's totally normal behavior. Finding out mbj and airplane got together first. Finding out sqq encouraged airplane. LIKE THIS. WHILE HE IS STILL IN DENIAL ABOUT HIS OWN FEELINGS:

Mobei-jun clearly thinking their arrangement is a forever thing, heartbroken his human abandoned him with all the hapless fury of a scorned wife swept away by false promises of fidelity. Airplane writing demons to be the type to beat up their crush lovingly and still unable to connect the dots about mbj's feelings. Mbj letting him go and respecting his wishes, only relenting when there's indication airplane was poorly processing his own feelings and didn't actually want to leave. Mbj caring for him and listening to him as soon as airplane voices what he needs directly and with clarity. None of these gays are functional and it's everything to me

Unrelated, but I physically can't hold this information in anymore:

I'm still reeling from younger lbh having his sexual awakening from the image of sqq wrapped in the immortal binding cables. Condemn me as you like he was so, so real for that.

And no I will not be taking any comments about how luo bingge couldn't bear to see luo binghe cherished in ways he never got to have and all the haunting implications of that. I will also not be taking any comments about luo binghe's instinct to look for sqq in that alternate universe, only to be shaken to the very core to be unable to find his shizun anywhere. The unspeakable and latent horror of his relentless mind likely piecing together what happened, but unable to say it; to suspect what is true, and live with the harrowing confusion of his double's actions. To blame himself, to assume that he had let his anger get the better of him in that world and result in unspeakable folly...

I also refuse to talk about how heartrending it is to hear Tianlang-jun weakly say "In the end, I really can't bring myself to hate humans." The implication that the foolishness of that hope and bright-eyed fondness--the very thing that put him through such unspeakable agony--couldn't be beaten out of him entirely. To discover that his faith in Su Xiyan hadn't been misplaced, to the contrary: his beloved hadn't scorned him at all, but rather fought to the miserable end to protect the fruition of their genuine feelings of love when she couldn't protect tlj or herself.

How MXTX has sqq deliberately draw parallels between their situation and that of ygy+sj and tlj+sx; desperately wishing it might not be too late for them. The concept of breaking cycles of abuse and harm pervasive throughout the newly devised story, how it evolves for the better only when love takes the place of power, pride, and domination. How the moment sqq chooses vulnerability instead of saving face, the genre shifts to the so-called "cringe" girly genre where most if not every character is more fulfilled, more true to themselves. How the "male-oriented" former genre was aimlessly sensationalized and sexualized, how it was a sustained performance of aspirational toxic masculinity. How men objectify other men without end. All of the unspoken gendered implications that come with that.

Anyways. Going to go put my head in a sandbox and try to process everything I just witnessed because even a second reading is not enough to find a modicum of closure.

#svsss #bingqiu #moshang #i swear to god this series is just 'gay man who doesn't know shit inflicting his delusional reality on everyone else and inciting chaos'#and literally it's slapstick levels of hilarious every single time; mxtx never change #also i fully agree that we did not get NEARLY enough mobei-jun and sqh/airplane content #the amount of mental illness to mental illness communication going on there was astonishing #mobei-jun being afraid of his uncle and bringing sqh because that's the only person he trusts fully (WAILING NOISES)#sqh having a tantrum but running away because for the first time he was honest about his needs + his dissatisfaction with catering to other #how that reflects his narrative compulsions and how he felt forced to warp more creative story paths for the sake of survival as a writer #how sqq's restoration of much of his original intent--as well as mobei-jun's acceptance of his needs--helps airplane begin to heal #how his happiness begins; how just like sqq he wanders in such confusion and denial before he's forced to realize what truly matters to him #SHREK VOICE: STORIES HAVE. L A Y E R S #it feels like modern day shakespeare and when i say that i don't mean it in a hollow elevating sense i mean it more like #mxtx just hits that perfect balance of poignance but also hilarious concentric circles of botched communication and brainworms #okay but real talk for a minute? .........;-;#the way lbh constantly struggles with such a crushing feeling that he'll be abandoned over any little mishap/thing/problem #really hit me where it hurts??? if only because its so clearly an anxiety that stems from original goods' upbringing #the way it becomes even more heartrending when you think back to all the sect leaders clamoring that he should have been killed as an infan #that he should have been aborted as a fetus--insisting right in front of him that his birth was a mistake and a disgrace #over having demon blood in his veins. like my god that scene is so viscerally upsetting i struggle to read it #the way its so easy to see the demons as a manifestation of otherness in precipitated form #how both sqq and sqh are influenced by human rhetoric without evening meaning to--assuming the worst against their better judgment #how both sqq and sqh both struggle with their own otherness in different ways and only find solace when they begin to accept who they are #how their lovers (lbh and mbj respectively) both are willing to navigate those confusing waters with them #how both demons love them as they are--accept them as they are despite how difficult forgiveness of perceived betrayal is for them #ty mxtx for changing my brain chemistry #as i get older i have such a fondness for the messiness of thematic queer self-discovery and growth into self-acceptance #that and how youth can so easily be defined by perfectionistic self-harm and the violence of repression

so there's been a lot of posting about things like ofmd not being a 'kind show' and no longer being 'the queer joy show' etc etc and. i just want to remind us of where everybody is in s1's finale vs s2's

let us begin

stede: stede ends s1 on a hopeful note (setting off to go get his man) but shortly prior to that he's kind of been through it (he nearly got executed and then two different people tried to murder him). stede ends s2 on an even more hopeful note, having got his man, ready to open an inn with him. verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2

ed: ed ends s1 in absolute despair. izzy has been a real dick to ed (depending on your interpretation, he's done something ranging from being a little tiny bit mean to ed to calling him a slur and threatening to kill him, but we're not having this discourse again) so now he's back in his blackbeard persona mere days after feeling some hope that he was finally free from piracy and ready to run away with someone who loves him for who he is. the last shot we see of s1 ed is him absolutely crying his eyes out in the bed nook. it inflicts d4 psychic damage on me whenever i look at it. anyway at the end of s2 he's been on an absolute journey, he's learned that he's loved, he's free from being blackbeard, he's stood beside the man that loves him and they're going to give everything a go. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2

stede's crew: i mean. what is there to say. at the end of s1 they've just been marooned and social order on their little island is rapidly breaking down due to buttons and roach teaming up to try and eat the swede. at the end of s2 they're happily back at sea and the swede has spanish jackie to fight off anyone who would even consider having a nibble. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2

honourable mention - buttons: ends s1 unsuccessfully trying to eat the swede. ends s2 having fulfilled his life's dream of becoming a bird. good job buttons. verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2

ed's crew: as above, the crew end s2 happily sailing away into the literal sunset. we finish s1 with jim presumably unconscious and izzy pointing a gun at frenchie. so not an ideal situation really. fang seems to be having a good time though and ivan gets killed off between seasons (rip king) so it averages out at a slightly better rather than a significantly better. verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2

honourable mention - frenchie: ends s1 hoisting his flag at gunpoint. ends s2 captaining the bloody ship. go frenchie. we love to see it. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2

lucius: ends s1 soggy. ends s2 not only dry, but married. verdict: significantly better off at the end of s2

izzy: ah yes this old chestnut. so. two perspectives here. one is simply that he ends s1 alive and ends s2 dead. so. possible verdict: significantly worse off at the end of s2. alternatively, he ends s1 as his classic repressed self, smiling from ear to ear because ed cut his toe off and it sparked joy, disliked by the crew, resented by ed. he ends s2 having accepted himself and having experienced all the queer joy he would never have permitted himself in s1, having experienced more screentime and growth than any other secondary character in s2 (yes he's a secondary character no i won't argue with you about this), and dies exactly as he lived - being a pirate who can pull off a plan. he gets to have his deathbed deep and meaningful conversation with ed, which brings closure to them both. he gets buried beside ed and stede's new inn, on land where his grave will be tended, having been given a nice funeral by people who once despised him. so. possible verdict: slightly better off at the end of s2. he definitely seemed happier in s2, and died at peace rather than as a frothing little ball of anger, which is more than i could've foreseen in s1.

anyway. the eagle eyed mathematicians among you will notice that even if we take it as read that izzy is significantly worse off at the end of s2...

every single other character ends s2 in a better place than where they ended s1.

ofmd is a kind show that's full to the brim of queer joy. you guys are just sad that your fave died. and that's fine. the writers did a great job creating a story with characters that were so well written that people are genuinely grieving izzy's death.

but his death does not erase the inherent kindness and joy of the rest of the show.

anyway thanks for reading. i had fun playing with the tumblr post editor settings. by which i mean changing the text colour was unreasonably difficult and now i am stressed

NBC's Hannibal really Did That and created the most compelling and beautiful allegory for coming out in a world that is inherently violent towards queerness and treats it as horrifying, disgusting, and psychotic.

top of mind right now is Will's Becoming, started in S01E01 and fully completed in S03E13. buckle in folks, this may end up being a long one.

following the allegory, both episodes feature Will and Hannibal sharing a queer experience with one another.

in the first, Will (at this point, deeply closeted and in denial) engages with GJH in an effort to protect Abigail. Hannibal (also closeted, but more out of self preservation, certainly not out of shame) isn't directly involved, merely a passive observer, but he did orchestrate the experience by calling GJH to warn him they were coming. obviously, his actions at this point are driven by curiosity. what will GJH do? and what about Will? clearly, Hannibal has clocked Will as similar to himself (aka queer), but can see that Will is in deep denial and terrified of his urges.

and it's just so powerful to see that Will's first explicitly queer experience is within the context of self sacrifice for the good of someone else. he wouldn't have chosen it, but he had to do it. at this point, this is the only way his psyche will accept his queerness. this scenario also gives him plausible deniabilty about his reasons for engaging GJH. it allows him to admit to Alana that he feels "good" after the whole event, claiming that he feels good because he saved Abigail. even though we know at least part of the reason he feels good is that he finally got to indulge this particular urge.

but even so, the whole point of season 1 is Will struggling with his guilt. he has nightmares. he thinks he's a monster.

(side note: i also think it is just so perfect that it takes Will ten shots to get GJH, like of course our sweet baby queer boy having his first queer experience isn't very experienced. i can hard relate)

fast forward to the series finale, we find Will and Hannibal having yet another queer experience with one another, but this time they are equal participants and it is Will, not Hannibal, who ultimately orchestrated this encounter.

and what is so wonderfully interesting to me is that a (very) small part of Will seems to remain conflicted about what his role will be in this scenario right up until it is actually happening. will he walk away, leaving Hannibal and the Red Dragon to their own devices, and return to his heteronormative family? will he be an active participant with Hannibal? will he simply be a passive observer? the moment Will decides he's going to participate is so clear and this is the moment he fully, 100% comes into himself and arrives at full self acceptance.

and then, when it's finally over, and Hannibal holds him while saying, "see? this is all i ever wanted for you. for both of us." and Will, his eyes quite literally shining with joy and love says, "it's beautiful" while clutching Hannibal and resting his head on his chest, enjoying the embrace (do NOT get me started on Hannibal's expression of pure ecstasy, i will explode).

and to wrap it all up, we see Will quite literally take a leap of faith in the arms of his most beloved before tumbling off the cliff. together.

like. that is so fucking beautiful???? and i don't think there is ANY piece of media that will ever have this type of impact on me again?

anyway. congrats if you made it this far and stay tuned for more ramblings as i get my thoughts in order lmao i just really fucking love this entire show.

#yes i watched hannibal for the first time in 2024 #i am literally a changed person #what the FUCK did i just experience #and im supposed to just move on with my life???#big fucking ouch #coming out #hannibal #hannibal tv show #hannigram #mads mikkelsen #hugh dancy #hannibal lecter #will graham #s01e01 #aperitif #s03e13 #twotl #the wrath of the lamb #hannibal analysis

dreamling always human AU where death (still brainstorming her human name, oops...) and hob gadling work as group counselors at a LGBTQIA+ community center

death's a person-centered therapist who is all about that unconditional positive regard!!! hob does DBT (hob + wise mind!!! hob running support groups for queer teens experiencing suicidality + helping instill hope!!!)

death's sulky little brother morpheus - the classic post-punk malcontent, the poet who will break your heart at the open mic, thinks he's better than everyone because he read mythology as a kid and knows how to read ancient greek. the mercurial aloof graduate student who carries himself like he's living in the secret history minus the racism and murder. talks like a dictionary. his favorite book is sartre's nausea and he will go nowhere without eyeliner and headphones, and if he could only bring three things to his deserted island they'd all be sisters of mercy vinyls

morpheus volunteers at the same center running a creative writing/poetry group; and once a month he takes a group of teens on a museum trip or to see street art in the art district

he runs into hob at the center all the time, and morpheus wants nothing at all to do with hob's reasonable and unwavering cheerfulness or his crooked smile or his kind eyes or his balanced mind, thank you very much... but he may or may not write entire secret notebooks on notebooks full of poems about those eyes, and that mouth, and that optimism of hob's—a joy for life that seems to utterly elude morpheus himself

hob, meanwhile, is absolutely, irrevocably, stupid amounts gone on morpheus, and death is, well, dying to set them up—hob is just what her brother needs! to morpheus' horror, she brings hob along to one of his open mic nights (which is held at the new inn, of course). morpheus reads a work that's about hob, part classics fragment translation, part terribly erotic love poem)... and hob's down bad, not even knowing it's about him

and now death is really determined, because morpheus looks a little ill every time he so much as occupies the same room as hob; and hob is well and truly pining, stress-cooking and stress-baking; and the community pantry at the center is really well-stocked but this is getting out of hand, and it's about to turn into a disaster if she doesn't do something about it

#this is RIDICULOUSLY self-indulgent in every way but i still need it #the sandman #dreamling

(Spoilers for ofmd)

Listen. a big part of me wants to say that for a show that claimed to care for its queer audience and built its whole legacy off of that they really. didn't

I had never seen an old queer character drag himself out of all that pain to find comfort and joy in his own queer identity and do so with so much pride, no metaphors or innuendos, just pure queer joy and community. Not only that but Izzy is a nuanced character with an incredible story and personality that were enough to make a show out of. The actors shared fanart and rejoiced with fans, the show itself took pride in being a safe space for queer people.

and then they killed him off in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment just to ensure the main character a get out of jail free card. And he gets buried right next to the house of the man he has spent his entire life looking after.

Before the episode aired, I saw a lot of people talking about having been let down before and that's why they were so afraid of what the finale would hold, but they also said they trusted this show and the people behind it to not do exactly what they did do.

I'm sorry this wasn't that show. But let's remember that ofmd still made a huge impact and might have paved the road for new shows that might be just that. It's alright to be angry and disappointed (heck look at me), but let's not forget all the good things we shared as a fandom. We experienced actors and writers encouraging us to keep making queer content off of the show. We experienced creators loving us as the fanbase and enjoy the ride with us unlike almost every other show that went viral on this web site. And heck, if we exclude the last episode, we experienced A DAMN GOOD, WONDERFUL SHOW!! All of that still matters and it doesn't have to be an ending but maybe a starter point for new stories.

I will still go to my next con cosplaying as Izzy. I'll still keep fighting for queer fandom spaces to be places of love and joy. Till next time :)

Continuing from my previous post let's talk about the queercoding and themes in Dick Turpin episode 3! So first off, I had previously said I was hoping we'd get to hear more about Honesty's backstory since I was having a hard time identifying what his deal was, and I was delighted to find out this episode that the reason he needed less help finding himself than the other two is because he's got parents who are actively and enthusiastically supportive of his- and I use this phrase very intentionally- alternative lifestyle :)

In direct foil to this, the other main theme of the episode is Wilde's relationship with both himself and his son. Wilde is so caught up in the old fashioned, violent, and oppressive life path he's gone down that he views it as the only path and that anything less is failure. He prides himself in this toxic masculinity, and in the exchange Wilde and Dick have about it, Dick notes that Wilde seems insecure explicitly about not being the "big boss" in charge, and possibly implicitly (unbeknownst to Dick thus far) that Wilde's boss is a woman who has power over him. Just as we saw with Dick and his father in the first episode, Wilde seems to be resentful and embarrassed of his son for not living up to his expectations of what a man should be- he expresses frustration and dismissal towards Christopher for being too soft and not the violent criminal mastermind Wilde wishes his son to be, but also expresses that he feels Christopher is too fragile to be exposed to the world without his father's protection and therefore shouldn't be given the chance to have his own experiences. In response to Wilde explaining that he expects Christoper to follow in his tough guy crime boss footsteps, Dick remarks "what if he wants to be an artist....or a barista...or an artist who works as a barista" which you cannot tell me isn't deliberate queercoding!!

In the later conversation between Dick and Wilde, Dick tries to find common ground between them as they each list their interests and we're shown the divide between staunch seriousness and compassionate enjoyment, toxic masculinity vs joyful flamboyancy. During the eventual moment of vulnerability from Wilde, he admits that he feels like the joyful parts of him have been drained away by the society he exists in, and only the serious and evil parts are left over. Dick, who by his own self-confidence and unabashed authenticity has clearly evaded this same fate despite seemingly experiencing a similarly conservative upbringing, remarks that that's a really bleak way of existing, and encourages Wilde to spend more time with his son and enjoy the world around him. Wilde, to his credit, does actually work toward following this advice! Meanwhile, Christopher (or as Nell calls him, which feels significant to all of this in that so much of Noel's work casually has no regard for traditional perception of gender, "Jennifer") once left to his own devices ends up bonding with the gang and admits that he himself wants to be a highwayman. He becomes particularly attached to Moose, arguably the most queer-coded (and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes more explicitly stated later in the show given how he's been portrayed so far) character in the show- arriving in London twirling in his dress and being excited about dancing, flamboyant hats, and the theatre. After Christopher gets to spend a day with someone who encourages his flamboyance and sense of joy and fun rather than expecting him to be someone he's not, Christopher seems changed for the better and more sure of himself, and once he's reunited with his father who has been on his own journey of learning this lesson, the episode ends with the indication of them moving forward together towards a more compassionate, accepting, and happier future. Anywayyyy, I love this silly little show so goddamn much already. Stay tuned for probably more in the coming weeks!

Editor’s note: I just realized I forgot to address that Dick’s first choice of disguise was a female character and that the fight club leader reacts to her as a pretty lady but also like….do I even need to point that out? Standard par for the course for a Noel media hahaha

saw the mean girls musical and i have alot of thoughts (spoilers under the cut)

okay so first off GOD I AM NO BETTER THAN A MAN RENEÉ RAP HIT ME UP PLEASE anyways besides me being gay for the entire cast, i did really enjoy the casting. Them being hot is a plus, they can all sing VERY well, acting was amazing. Only person who I think was casted wrong was Aaron. No hate to the actor, he did a great job it just didn’t seem like Aaron yk.

I saw alot of people complain about how they used social media in it but like hot take it was used well. Like in the beginning of sexy, i have no idea how they would get Karen to talk to the audience for the “if i could change the world” bit otherwise.

THEY FINALLY MADE JANIS A FUCKING LESBIAN. Like we all knew, but to not only confirm it, stage it not a bad thing, AND to have her go out with a girl? QUEER JOY AT ITS FINEST

speaking of gay people, cady was %100 in love with regina and experiencing comphet with aaron. Like the first time cady looks at her, shes staring into her tits i mean eyes. And the bathroom scene at the end with the “i like you” just makeout already you fags.

now the song.

okay so, as said before, the whole cast has beautiful vocals, and I enjoyed all of it, but I just genuinely prefer some of the original broadway cast over them. Mainly Barrett Weed Wilson over Auli’i Cravalho. You can see it best in someone get hurt reprise (which isnt even out on music platforms smh) and no hate to her I just like Barrett’s voice better. BUT I do think Jaquel Spivey CARRIED every song he was in, dare I say ever SCENE give this man more screentime.

what i didn’t expect was the level of cinematography there was my favorite part was when we see regina on the treadmill and its all dark like she’s going through a depression and then transitions to the red lighting in world burn for her anger, its just top notch

my biggest complaint is how they cut and shorten songs like MEET THE PLASTICS WAS LITERALLY JUST REGINAS PART WHAT also WHERE THE FRWEAK IS FEARLESS AND STOP

also unrelated to the movie itself, this group behind me was laughing everytime a song started and was just being rude to everyone in the theater and these were full on adults too like ugh learn theatre etiquette or just stay home smh

overall i’d give it a solid 9/10. would watch again and probably will

i've been following you for your destiel and misha content for my destiel/spn sideblog, and i've known about 9-1-1 vaguely for years but never thought i'd be into it. now i have you to thank for making me a 9-1-1 girlie! if it weren't for you blogging about upcoming bi!buck i wouldn't have experienced the euphoria of it happening in realtime on tumblr! i honestly didn't think it was actually going to happen, but then i saw the kiss immediately went and watched the previous eps of season 7 and the lead-up was so good and 7x04 was SO GOOD!! and i love all the characters (hen and chim specifically aside from buck and tommy but really everyone has their appeal) so i'm definitely tempted to watch the previous 6 seasons for them not just for buck's backstory or for the buddie of it all, but i don't have the bandwith right now so i'm just absorbing everything from the previous seasons through osmosis on tumblr and the fics i read. but yeah. i can't begin to thankyou, seriously, the happenstance was perfect! i haven't felt this invigorated about media since one piece aired (still hoping for queer characters there), and before that it was our flag means death. i'm so excited to see buck's journey play out bc honestly i've been feeling weighed down and low about how dean never got to come out and destiel wasn't given the respect it deserved in the end. anyway, it's just so refreshing and inspiring to see more shows embrace and celebrate queer characters, specifically older male characters just realising that part of themselves. i love 9-1-1 for giving us this rep and hope it inspires other shows to do the same, to be open to evolving queer storylines for characters who have been "straight" for previous seasons (another one that comes to mind is jackson from teen wold, but that's another post, ha).

anyway! sorry for rambling, i just wanted to say thankyou for your blogging about 9-1-1/buck bc it has literally brightened my life and introduced me to not only a great show with great characters but another great cast and a truly talented creative fandom.

i know this is like way down in the message but i wanted to get it out of the way: JACKSON FROM TEEN WOLF!!! god that was so shocking to me as a longtime fan of the show. teen wolf was one of my first hyperfixations, i still have my stilinski lacrosse hoodie in my closet!! the reveal that he was dating one of those twins?!!! (i forget which one 😆). i was so happy…

anyways back to the main point. i am so so glad you’ve followed me from destiel and misha to 911, it truly is a pipeline many of us seem to go down. i noticed you in my notes a lot especially with my bucktommy posts (which have been pretty frequent tbh, they’re addicting to talk about 😵‍💫) so i was so surprised to hear you started watching just now!

experiencing the episode and the kiss live was what i imagine 15x18 would have been like but a bit more. well. happy? to watch buck finding a little bit of happiness and euphoria in discovering something he never knew he was missing. it was like nothing i’ve ever felt, and i’ve been living off the high since it happened. it really has been monumental in getting you excited in a piece of media, especially involving a BI MAN IN HIS MID 30’s!!!! it’s a piece of history, and we’re so lucky to have all the actors and writers and the showrunner who support it? including both lou and oliver who’ve been nothing but amazing and EXCITED about the kiss and bi buck. how lucky are we??!!

and what i’m loving even more is the people (like you) who found my blog and decided to start watching or following buck’s journey and related to it or found joy in it. it means so much to me and i’m just so grateful for the constant happiness this show gives me and others. the characters are all so special to me, obviously buck in particular. but i love how it’s truly an ensemble show and there’s so much representation and love clearly throughout, literally from the start with hen and karen.

after destiel and the end of spn, 911 is a breath of fresh air for me and i’m so glad it is for you as well. i totally get feeling down about them lately, i have too. i kinda jumped headfirst into earnestly 911 blogging and i have no regrets. glad you’re here with me!!!!

So I have been thinking about this post for a minute and finally got the motivation to make something about it.

All of us Bylers know the arguments from non-Bylers that is prevalent within the discourse. The idea that Byler can’t happen not because of in canon reasons but because of real world politics. Things like “Byler can’t happen because of homophobia in the 80s” or “they would never have more then two happy queer people in a main stream show”.

1. Let’s ignore the fact that Stranger Things was probably never meant to be a main stream show. It was one of Netflix's first big breaks. It was not made by something like Disney and it’s aesthetics are focused on horror elements. Horror that is based on a subculture from the 80s. DnD is not really main stream and while 80s nostalgia is a huge thing, nerd culture in the 80s isn’t. Hope this all makes sense

2. Gay and trans people existed and were able to find happiness in the 80s. Don’t get me wrong, it was tough and still is tough to be visibly queer in society but that doesn’t mean queer people can not find happiness in their life. They can form loving relationships that last a life time. Just because it is hard does not mean it is impossible

Now that I have that out of the way, I want to focus on specifically the general idea of both of these arguments.

The thesis of any argument against Byler in these veins is “Marginalized communities, specifically queer people, do not get to have any form of escapism and all media involving them must be based in a reality I, a non-marginalized person, has created”

Long thesis I know, but it’s the root of this. These people who have never experienced being queer or are queer but only understand the pain of being queer, have decided what is acceptable queer rep and what queer people are allowed to experience joy in. I have talked about this before in short just about Queer people who insist Byler would be better unrequited because it is “realistic” but this is a much bigger issue within society.

Will Byers should and can be warmly accepted and loved by every character in Stranger Things. Will Byers can get the boy and be in a long loving relationship. Will Byers should and can be out and proud in the 80s. Queer people deserve to see that queer people can be loved, proud, and have happy endings.

Will Byers does not deserve to suffer heartbreak, trauma, and hate because he is queer and that would be “realistic”

Queer people deserve to watch media and experience joy they may not get to experience. Fuck anyone who says other wise.

It is realistic in my life to experience hate, heartbreak, and to be turned away by my family. I do not need to turn on the TV and see the media I enjoy showing that I deserve that. That I should have seen that coming. That even in a time line where there are monsters, another world, and magical powers, I am the weird one still.

So yeah, Queer people deserve to see that the world can accept them. That there are happy endings for them. That they can be heroes even in times when it would be difficult.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk <3 And don’t let anyone make you feel unlovable or like a mistake. Drink some water and take a nap. Have a good night/day/afternoon

#Byler #TW homophia #<---- more discussion of homophobia and internalized homophia #I cried while writing this because by god #I need this #I need queer rep where everyone loves them no matter what #I needed the Johnathan and Will heart to heart #Will Byers #Also y'all homophobia is showing when you hate Will Byers for no reason

Hello and happy Sunday to you all. Thank you @confused-bi-queer, @cutestkilla, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tags, and a tag back to @aroace-genderfluid-sheep.

My Klaine fic is still being written. Toffee the hamster has been found, but it's taking a while to finish it. An anon did give me a title idea, namely The Class Menagerie, and anon, I love you for it,

In other fic related news, I started posting Dancin' on that bamboo ceiling, the fic series that explores Asian identity and racism through Glee, while also trying to find a way to place glee's own racism towards its Asian characters. I was quite nervous to post it and a bit stressed. So stressed that I straight up confused Mike and Wes in one of my summaries and in the series' summary I accidentally wrote that Mike moved to China, not from China. Oops. It's been fixed. Five fics are posted and I am not at all surprised that the Klaine-centric one has the most hits, since people still prefer shippy fics over gen fics. I just hope these Klainers (hi!!) are encouraged to also read the others.

I am also nervous because I don't want to come off as if I am speaking for everyone yada yada. I did add the disclaimer that I am one sole person writing this and I am also alway open for more feedback, but it feels so nerve wracking. I usually write for me and me alone, but not this time, I guess. And even so, I am one Chinese person and damnit China is big. Catch me frantically googling whether people in Hubei speak Mandarin or something else etc. (Which I knew the answer to, cause my sister is from Hubei, but I'm just so nervous!!!) (This is also why I remember that Mike's family is from Hubei.)

Also some things in Glee are so fucking stupid. I am already thinking about changing something in Blaine's chapter so it lines up with canon, but I am still trying to explain why Tina's last name is Cohen-Chang.

Writing this fic is uhhhh A Lot, since I am delving deep into the racism that I have experienced and also the stories of other Asian people who I have spoken to about this. (JY, Todd, I haven't seen y'all in literal years, but you're in this fic.) (I do still talk to Cilla regularly.) (And a shout-out to my sister who constantly has to deal with people saying "she is too pretty to be Chinese"!). I am excited to explore this and I keep thinking about things I can add, but it is heavy, as you might expect. I do try to keep some humour and joy in it, because unlike Glee, I also want to show that being Asian can be fun and can lead to connection. I am looking forward to Mike, Tina, Wes, Blaine and Yu-Jin being friends! Here's a more upbeat part of the sad shit that I shared recently:

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu-Jin cheers when Mike and Wes step inside the bedroom, both wearing a tangzhuang. "God, if only my grandparents could see me now," Wes says as he studies himself in the mirror. "Tina's making photo's," Blaine says. Tina's new phone has the best camera of them all and she'll send the photos to the others later. She definitely wants to save the mirror selfies that she made with Yu-Jin. Tina's hanbok has become to small and it's straining her in places, but she loves the way she looks and that's what matters.

And now, the weather: @quizasvivamos @blurglesmurfklaine @coffeegleek @esperantoauthor @otherworldsivelivedin @caramelcoffeeaddict @sillyunicorn @bazzybelle @dragoneggos @raenestee @tectonicduck @nightimedreamersworld @urban-sith @thnxforknowingme @captain-aralias @justgleekout @cerriddwenluna @tea-brigade @ivelovedhimthroughworse @moodandmist @whogaveyoupermission @bookish-bogwitch @ionlydrinkhotwater @1908jmd @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @larkral @chen-chen-chen-again-chen @artsyunderstudy @martsonmars @facewithoutheart @shrekgogurt @boyinjeans @rockitmans @bitbybitwrites @blackberrysummerblog @whatevertheweather

Round 2: Poll 2

*Please Read*

I advise everyone to read each contestant's story to get a well-rounded understanding of each entry. I urge you to not just vote for the one "you know best". I have everyone's stories/reasons why they should win under the cut.

(Branchus art by @literallyjusttoa)

Propaganda:

Evadne

What's The Love Story?

Daughter of Poseidon. Experienced the "joys of first love with Apollo". When her foster-father found out about her pregnancy, he furiously went to consult the Oracle.

During Evadne's labor, Apollo sent Eileithyia and the Moirea to assist her. After their son, Iamus ("Boy of the Violets") was born, she left him in a patch of violets. He was nurtured by honeybees Apollo (or the Fates) sent for five day.

In those days, Evadne's foster-father returned, with the confirmation that her son was indeed Apollo's and was destined to be a great prophet. Aepytus (the foster-father) demanded for the child to be brought to him, so Evadne retrieved her son from the violet patch. Iamus went on to found the Iamidae, a family of priests in Olympia.

Why Should They Win?

Young love, Apollo being a dad, what isn't there to love?

Kids?

Iamus

Branchus

What's The Love Story?

Apollo disguised himself as a goatherd one day soon after killing Python and Branchus came across him, fell instantly in love with the beautiful shepherd, and kissed him. Apollo was just as enamored with Branchus as he was with him and granted him prophetic abilities, as well as a crown and magical staff!!

Going back some years to Branchus's birth, you could say that his mom received a vision of his future as a lover of Apollo - she dreamt that a glowing sun went into her mouth and through her stomach.

Also, since Apollo met Branchus soon after killing Python, he's probably Apollo's first lover EVER! Which is SO COOL APOLLO'S FIRST LOVE WAS A SHEPHERD BOY THE BISEXUALITY IS REAL

also also, an altar was built on the place where Branchus kissed Apollo <3 true love <3 and prophecies from Branchus were second only to Delphi itself, so Branchus got some STAR TREATMENT

Why Should They Win?

First Love = First Boyfriend <3 the queer is strong in this one

Yooooung Loooove Vibes TM

THEY WERE ADORABLE I NEED MORE OF THEM WHERE ARE MY BRANCHUS FICS

#GO BRANCHUS #round 2 #evadne #branchus #tagamemnon #underrated lovers poll #greek mythology #the trials of apollo #pjo apollo #apollo #apollo deity #trials of apollo

I must be the only person here that genuinely doesn't think Henry is gay lmao I think in his speech he was talking about him not experiencing the world as the rest of the humans only because he doesn't feel the same feelings, doesn't have much empathy, doesn't feel love or joy etc just boredom and anger and he's constantly bored by normal life mostly because of that, he can't really relate to others he just mimics and manipulates ppl to his benefit

I think that's kinda queercoded in a sense that we as queer ppl can relate to that sense of "otherness" from the norm though, I think that's why he gets associated to rainbows because next season he's gonna have a confrontation with Will and they kinda relate in a sense but not in the same way

I mean it could be a possibility, I'm not saying it can't because he can easily be both but I just don't think that's the plan for him idk

People are saying ep 8 is a filler episode but I really cannot agree with that. It feels so important to me and very much affects the long-term progression of the story.

So what is a filler episode?

An episode that is unrelated to, or doesn’t significantly impact, the main plot or develop the main characters. Can, for the most part, be ignored without losing important info to the series. (x)(x)

I cannot see ep 8 as a filler episode. It’s is a character growth arc that sets the base of emotions, the why, for pretty much the rest of the story. We see Porsche finally attaining happiness and affection, and next we’ll see him trying to keep it. It’s not unrelated or tangential, it’s integral. If we skipped ep 8, there’d be no emotional investment later on. We wouldn’t understand the driving forces behind some decisions and reactions that are going to occur later on. The episode is all about setting up the ‘why’.

Why do people feel like it’s just filler? Is it because the vibe is a little bit light and different? a little bit fun and silly, not as serious? Is it because the emotional changes feel a bit jarring and disordered throughout? But that’s the exact point.

It’s predominantly from Porsche’s POV. We get to join him on his journey. The secrecy, the joy, the childishness, the cringey parts — this is Porsche navigating his very first dating experience. It’s juvenile in nature because he never got to experience these things in youth and is experiencing it now. We see his insecurity and his desire to learn and accept this new truth. We feel how precious it is for him. It’s all growth. How can that not be relevant to the plot and character development?

Why is it automatically filler just because it’s different from usual? Why is it filler just because it’s centred in happiness? It might have a change from the usual vibe but it’s still relevant to the plot re: Porsche’s experience, growth, liberation; Kinn’s experiences, growth, liberation; and the KinnPorsche dynamic and growth as a unit.

They’re two young people dating and in love. It’s not filler, it’s the reality they’re currently living in -- they’re in their own world, disconnected from the realities of mafia life. They’re not “Mafia Kinn” and “Bodyguard Porsche”, they’re just Kinn and Porsche dating, they’re not considering their mafia-centric roles so why, as an audience, should we? They��re indulging in each other and the joy of it all, facing their true selves. Is it a break from the mafia scene? Yes, but that’s the point. It’s important to set up how it feels in the bubble so we, as an audience, are aware of exactly what it means when the bubble later bursts.

Not only is the episode important to the plot but it’s important to what KP the series is trying to present as a whole. The journey of liberation from repression, being able to freely express one’s true self and discovering what that actually means. This change in tone matches P’Mile and P’Apo’s vision showing that love is love regardless — the real-ness, the complexity, the multitudes.

Maybe that’s why I don’t have a problem with the episode. I can feel the plot relevancy and the wider relevancy. The vibe is very reminiscent of my own experiences as a queer youth journeying into the freedom of adulthood and subsequent foray into relationships. The experience of things my peers got to experience in their youth — the fun, cringey and juvenile feel of it all — instead being experienced in adulthood. I think it’s a pretty poignant vibe, it’s important to depict it. It’s important to show that starting later in life still allows for happiness.

Since your first game came out 10 years ago when the scope of LGBT media for youth was much worse, what do you think has changed between now and then and what sets Longstory 2 apart from new media which has come out since?

CW: Discussions of homophobia/transphobia in media, mention of conversion therapy law, tropes

This a great question, let's take a look. To put this in a wider context on LGBT rights in general...

Picture it: Sicily... I mean... Toronto, 2014!

While global human rights don't revolve around Canada, (ed note: Although historically Canada has led the way in developing policy based around enshrining human right into law) that's where we're based. Canada was only 10 years out from same-sex marriage being recognized across the country--the States, in comparison, only received the court ruling that would make it legal in June 2015. Sadly, Canada wouldn't make a conversion therapy illegal under the law for another seven years. It'd be another 2 years for "gender identity and expression" to be added as protected under the Canadian Human Rights Act, not like that explicitly protects trans folks, but it's something. So that's an overview of where we were at on the ground, at least.

In the world of games, things were..... Not like that. A couple of big inspirations for LongStory were Life is Strange, which was released throughout 2015, and The Last of Us, especially the "Left Behind" DLC, which was released in 2014. Keep in mind that all of these inspirations, however beautifully written, were penned by straight guys--and that both games either do or can kill off at least one of their queer characters, see: bury your gays trope.

That was the name of the game (in games) at the time: Players occasionally could enjoy decently written LGBT characters, but they were often killed off, for punishment or pathos.

Maybe that heady mix of a country that was rabidly expanding it's understanding of what human conditions and experiences were protected rights, juxtaposed against a games industry that was (and remains) reluctant to expand the definition of who plays games and can be represented in games is what led us to care so deeply about LongStory. The fact is at the time of it's creation many of us were experiencing the joy of seeing our own lives changed by shifting tides of acceptance in families, at school and at work.

Since then, there's been a massive shift in media across the board, including games, turning toward "own voices" stories; creators can tell stories outside their own experiences, but if they do it should be well researched and hopefully include a (properly paid and credited) cultural consultant and/or sensitivity readers. Or admit when you got it wrong, at the very least.

LongStory came onto the scene as we began to see this shift. That and we responded to our players' needs. The game was originally supposed to be about a girl, the original feminine-presenting avatar, but when early players asked if they could be a boy, it was an obvious decision to make a masculine-presenting avatar an option. One of our claims to fame is that we were one of the earlier adopters of pronoun selection as well, including gender neutral pronouns, which also isn't attached to gender presentation (ie. feminine presentation = she/her, masculine = he/him). Now a lot of games (but certainly not all) have gotten better at different iterations of gender presentation instead of just a binary of GIRL/BOY.

The upside to this shift is that now young people are kind of "spoiled for choice", which is a very good thing. Games, movies, TV, books, comics, in media of all kinds for all ages it's often odd when there's not a queer or gender diverse character. Funny how diverse real life is, huh? Our media should reflect that.

We're finally seeing the cracks in the monolithic presumed straight, white, cisgender man audience. It is our genuine hope that the success of LongStory, which honestly comes down to folks continuing to care about the game and ask us these great questions, has had an impact on the growth of the industry and it's increasing inclusion and representation, however imperfect that may sometimes be.

Speaking of imperfection. I was just having a conversation yesterday about the toxic individualist (and, I think, deeply capitalist) idea that when someone else receives, I lose. Now when bigots, fascists and creepy evangelicals see diversity in the media, be it LGBTQ and/or BIPOC representation and/or disabled or non-neurotypical representation it gets labeled as "woke", which is bad because: ?????? I think that comes from a place of believing that when one person wins somebody else has to be losing out. That's not how life works--but it is how capitalism works! Capitalism has made us all so afraid that there is not enough to around, not enough love, or stories, or hero narratives. When the opposite is true, people have an abundance of love and creativity to share, but again, capitalism is sort of based on this idea of scarcity... yeah, it's how to keep people isolated.

All this to say, there is a new generation of people, afraid of the beautiful exuberance and diversity of life wriggling their way into positions of power, or lobbying and manipulating the systems and people in them to get anti-trans laws on the books, or look for ways to roll back protections on hard fought basic human rights it's taken generations of LGBTQ folks to achieve. More often than not it's just a shameless power grab scapegoating historically marginalized communities. Lots of that. So we're still here, still working on our games, still saying the same things with renewed enthusiasm.

LongStory starts from a place of empathy, which is something that's unfortunately needed now more than ever. We want everyone, but especially young people, to look at a world as it should be, which is diverse and open to exploration, where they can make mistakes but still be surrounded by love and compassion. I think that's what sets LongStory apart from a lot of media and makes it really special.

-MJ (and Miriam)

In which the lion devours the lamb

Eddie Munson x Steve Harrington

Warnings: mentions of blood, smut, I try to be poetic, it's bad, drug usage, high blowjobs, use of drugs during sex (consensual), A LOT of references to cannibalism. 18+

Summary: A poetic piece about coming to terms with love and also eating your lover.

Word Count: 1.1k

When a lion devours a lamb it is not slow and calculated. It is quick- it is hungry, and it is violently vile. Steve’s hand traces the delicate back of Eddie’s. He is the Lamb to Steve’s Lion. He is the split open pomegranate, leaking blood red onto Steve’s pretty clenched hands. He is his meal and his love and something else all together and he thinks it might kill him. Steve kissed along his jaw now, muttering against his flesh with a soothing tone, “How do you feel?”

“Fuzzy.” The lamb answers, still dealing with the effects of the new weed the two tried out tonight. Steve chuckled softly, kissing him still as he sat up, “Do you need anything?”

“I’m like… really horny right now.” He let out a small chuckle, looking up at Steve, “You?”

“Very.” He muttered, leaning down to watch Eddie’s lips move slowly, making a small popping noise as he let out giggles beside Steve. Steve smiled a crooked smile, his eyes closing as he savored the sound of Eddie’s joy before muttering, “Can we try something new tonight?” He asks, an offer to join him at the dinner table, to give him a new platter to dissect and try, and a new palette to fill him for the final course.

Eddie nodded, “Sure, what’re you thinking Stevie?” Cocky, arrogant, and oh so loveable. Steve smiled, sliding and shifting himself so he was now on his knees between Eddie’s legs that were sprawled across the bed, “I think I just want to devour you whole, you’re so damn cute.”

Eddie chuckled, shifting and muttering out, “Okay, Hannibal Lecter.”

Steve shifted to follow his movements, muttering into his shoulder, “I think you’re the only thing in this world I’ve learned to love.”

Eddie softened against him, the lamb baring his neck to the lion as he muttered, “I think I’m glad for that, in a selfish way. I’m glad I’m the only thing you can love.” He admitted, the greedy lamb, hungry to experience the fresh new awakening of the lion.

The lion, or rather Steve, was the new but experienced member of these two primitive animals. Eddie has been running his whole life from lion’s. Steve has been chasing after… a different breed of lamb per say, and he’s settled on the equivalent of a black sheep.

Eddie was his black sheep, lamb coated in black jean jackets and band shirts with scattered pins that pricked his skin. Eddie was the final sanctum of Steve's everlasting chase to find the final meal, and he savors every single bite, pained noise, and flushed expression he gets from Eddie. He is settling at the dinner table, whether the long winding one in his own empty barren home, or the small one settled in the same trailer he was in now, constantly covered in dice and papers.

Steve prefers Eddie’s dinner table. Soft murmured ‘I love you’s’ over piping hot coffee. Gentle hands gracing his own as he muttered out he wanted the salt. Sweet praises of cooking and promises to make up for it that night in the bedroom.

Steve believed, when he first looked at Eddie, he wasn’t just liking him, he fell in love, immediately. Was it an poorly-concieved infatuation with the out and queer metal head? Probably. But it’s an infatuation of devotion. Praying to the sheep’s head every night and kissing along his flesh like it’s the Hawaiian rolls he received in church when he was younger. The body of christ, given to him.

Eddie shifted beside him, shaking Steve out of his trance as he leaned forward to look at him. “So, what did you want to try Steve-o?”

“I thought maybe I could return the favor on something..?” Soft, but the offer of his final devouring.

“Sure.” Eddie shrugged, purely just enjoying the time he could spend with Steve. Steve nodded, hazy, and shifted down, tugging at Eddie’s boxers.

Steve will admit it. He’d never once given head. But he needed to do this, needed to finish off the lamb, feel him down his throat and take him further. So he did. Agile hands flying to his perfectly fixed ‘mane’ tug and yank as he swallows Eddie down. He takes the hot taste of him and embeds it into his brain forever as he glances up at him. He watches his resolve crumble, watches as Eddie finally submits to it all and bucks into Steve’s throat. The lion chokes on the lambs meat, static filling his brain as Eddie fucks his throat, taking him apart now. Eddie is close, he can tell by the sudden quiver in his right thigh. So Steve lifts his head to the top, swirling his heavy tongue around Eddie’s tip as he looks up at him, immediately sliding his head back down to swallow his release. Eddie falls apart, wool off the wolf’s back as he reveals the pure hunger in his own eyes, tugging again at Steve’s scalp as he cums down his throat and lets himself be devoured for Steve’s own entertainment.

So now, the lamb is the wolf. The lion is still the lion, but hunger flourishes in both their eyes as Steve pulls back, a slick line of saliva following him from Eddie's now softening cock. Steve sits forward, and Eddie follows, both connecting as they kiss, the hot seed from Eddie’s cock swirling in their mouths as Steve pulls back, final words in his everlasting chase that is coming to a close.

“Eddie Munson, I love you.”

“Steve Harrington, I love you.”

Eddie's response. The final breath from the lamb coat wearing wolf. Now the known reason for the black looking coat Steve supposed. Black sheeps are always the more violent ones. He figures it’s because the wolf coat from beneath is shining through.

Eddie looks Steve over, chuckling a bit, “Dude you’ve been in and out of it all night.”

The lion facade fades away, a now tired Steve looks over to Eddie, “I think I like this strand, but I’ve been a little zoned out because of it. And now I’m tired.” He muttered, looking over Eddie

The consumption of lamb has stopped, but now the love and adoration of the lion had begun

Eddie smiled, fixed Steve’s hair for him, and leaned back, tugging Steve with him, “Then how about we go to sleep Stevie.”

Steve nodded at his lamb, muttering sweetly to him in a post-high, sleepy haze, “I love you, my lamb.”

Eddie chuckled, not understanding. The foolish lamb, wrapped comfortably in the lion's arms now as slept befell onto them.
