Omg girl my tl on Twitter has been flooded with pics and vids of them and I’m OBSESSED. They are so smitten with each other and showing affection literally any time they are spotted. And it’s not paps who are capturing the affection, it’s random people when they are spotted out being adorable and just living their lives. No care nor paying attention to any camera that might be on them. Now that is a real relationship and that is how you know they are smitten. Love them
the candids from fans when they go on their dates is everything, because yes while these two have had the occasional pap run-in the ratio from pap pics to random fan pics is HUGE. like 70% fan content and 30% paps. they are not afraid to express their love and be seen out and about. compare this to kaia and austin and it's horrifyingly depressing how different the vibes are between the couples. austin needs this kind of relationship where he feels free.

I’d love to hear your lgbtq+ book recs!!
I hope you have a lovely weekend as well!
well now you've opened pandora sabrina's box asgdbhjq
okay firstly, lemme just link u to some recs we've previously compiled in the studyblr w/knives server: top 2021 books, lgbtq+ main character, trans main character (more recs incoming next month ;))
and now, to single out some recent(ish) faves:
(cut bc this is long)
exciting times (n. dolan) - contemporary fiction they say this is the closest it gets to sally rooney but i haven't read any of her books so i wouldn't know about that. i would, however, know that i absolutely love the writing in this one - barely anything happens and i rarely like plotless books and yet here i am, tabbing the hell out of this book
gideon the ninth (t. muir) - sci-fi horror fantasy it took a little for me to get used to the writing but oh. my. god. it destroyed me in the best way possible and i already have the sequel on my shelves, waiting till after finals to dig in (very much recommend it - feel free to dm me and i can tell u more)
the charm offensive (a. cochrun)* - contemporary rom-com
this had the lovely vibes red, white & royal blue has; i read it in a day and had a blast, it also has a main character of color and neurodiverse rep!
the six of crows duology (l. bardugo) - ya fantasy
you surely already know abt it, but it's among my all time absolute faves so of course i have to mention it
the raven cycle (m. stiefvater) - ya urban fantasy
same reason as with soc lol
things have gotten worse since we last spoke (e. larocca)* - conteporary epistolary horror
horror indeed. chilling, gripping, delightfully horrifying and fucking disgusting - i probs won't ever be rereading but man, it was a ride
damaged like us (b.&k. ritchie)* - contemporary romance
is this the height of literature? certainly not. but did i enjoy it and read it at lightning speed? i did. i really did.
the house in the cerulean sea (t.j. klune) - urban fantasy
a hug in book form. reading this feels like being bundled up in ur fave blanket, sipping your fave hot beverage and Vibing™
hepdale rain trilogy (c. paul)* - ya urban fantasy
i don't like werewolf stories. these books tho? had me in a chokehold. the characters are amazing, the writing is lovely af, and each book is better than the last.
the atlas six (o. blake)* - urban fantasy
some ppl hated this but me? it made me go absolutely insane. i was making inhumane noises as this took my heart and twisted it in like 5 diff dimensions, 5 stars, immediate new fave.
top secret (e. kennedy, s. bowen)* - contemporary romance
kinda a frat house you've got mail au. shameless smut ngl. a great pick if u just want sth quick, super non-demanding to read while getting over a book that ruined u lol
him (e. kennedy, s. bowen)* - contemporary sports romance
same as the previous, just with the hockey gays flavor this time.
cemetery boys (a. thomas) - ya urban fantasy
this. book. asdfsdghfjkl. my poor heart. just sweet and so soft, but at the same time amazing at tackling themes like your identity and belonging and culture and
simon vs. the homo sapiens agenda (b. albertalli) - ya contemporary romance
a classic by this point, but i read it in 2018 and def wanna reread :')
heartstopper (a. oseman) - ya contemporary romance
the graphic novel that stole our hearts <3 also go watch it on netflix everyone (if u want to Emote be consumed by warmth)
the magic between (s. hoyt) - magical realism romance
this wasn't exactly a fave, but the dedication reads "for all the bisexuals out there - this one's for you." and yes. the bisexual rep this world deserves
*contains (varying degrees of) graphic sexual content
okay i'll stop with that for now, feel free to ask for more literally any time. but bc i cannoT shut up and you have been warned, here are some fantastic lgbtq+ books i have on my tbr (recs courtesy of my friends with superb reading tastes):
the darkness outside us (e. schrefer) - ya sci-fi romance
my preordered paperback is on its way as we speak
in the dream house (c. m. machado) - non fiction
a memoir that apparently doesn't read as non fiction and tackles multiple incredibly important topics
if we were villains (m. l. rio) - contemporary mystery
i won't even say anything, this has been on my tbr for 6 years and that's that.
summer sons (l. mandelo) - urban fantasy (magical realism?idk)
this was pitched to me as "the raven cycle but darker and more unhinged". sold immediately lmao
heated rivalry (r. reid) - contemporary sports romance
hockey gays with a lot of angst
crush (r. siken) - poetry
iron widow (x. j. zhao) - sci-fi
the starless sea (e. morgenstern) - urban fantasy
19 days (o. xian) - manga
the gilded wolves trilogy (r. chokshi) - historical fantasy
if you have any recs for me (any genre), definitely do drop them in my asks or dms and if you ever run out of books of a specific genre to read or just wanna scream about a book, you know where to find me ✨
