i have this headcanon that percy and annabeth are raging accidental flirts. but not with each other. like. they'll go to the coffee shop on fifteenth street. and compliment the barista on his hair and clothes and tip really well. but only for him. and they have no idea this boy is absolutely swooning over them. or. each time they to go the bakery downtown. they take the time to converse with the waitress at the counter as they eat her homemade muffins. and are incredibly vocal about how she's their favorite server. and how much they enjoy seeing her. and suddenly they're the only two customers that can get her services for free. except, they just think she's like that with everyone.

Danny is adopted by the batfamily the second he steps foot in Gotham and does a pretty good job of keeping his secret. Almost six months now!! I mean, he wasn't fully able to hide his secret. His family thinks he's a meta with a handful of powers. But he's got the halfa thing on lockdown

He just didn't take Constantine into account

Danny met the guy exactly once and knew he was clocked the second they made eye contact. The next thing he knew Bruce was gifted a book titled The Care and Maintenance of Rare Entities

With a very damning chapter in particular.

He was starting to understand why Constantine was hated in cryptid/paranormal circles. Unbearably smug man

Dinner that night was almost more awkward than his first night in the manor. But at least he has the reassurance he's supported 100% percent.

Bruce just doesn't completely understand how to approach the concept of a half-ghost son. He does, however, have a bisexual son. Is it like gay? What's the protocol here? Cake? Custom cake? With ghosts? Rainbow cake? With the inscription 'Congrats It's a Ghost' maybe? He makes sure to reassure Danny, that he'll be having a talk with Constantine about exactly how appropriate it was to out him. It should've been Danny's decision to tell them. After a long talk with Tim, Bruce was reasonably sure he knew how to handle this. He just wished he knew what kind of flag was meant for half-ghosts. Tim wasn't helpful on that front

He's a little confused but he's got the spirit.

#dp x dc #danny phantom #batman #bruce wayne #john constantine #crossover #ghouly tag #love that bi tim drake is canon now #also imagining bruce sitting in the manor library with the book and a pair of reading glasses trying to figure out #wth constantine gave it to him #and then he gets to That Chapter and then OH #danny doesnt talk to tim for three days after he makes up a flag with a blanket ghost with legs and a photoshopped transformation ring #tim is having the time of his life #bruce sees tim's flag concept and gets it custom made for danny tho

Huge fan of the fact that, per the new Nein art, Caleb now has multiple book holsters, which means he has to wake up and choose between chest holster and thigh holster everyday.

It fully gives off the impression of this man standing at his wardrobe every morning picking out accessories like, "Hmm, how cheeky am I feeling. How likely is it that my boyfriend shows up."

#there is no way this gets past beau and yasha and probably dairon's notice.#[lesbians hate him! check out this disaster bi's neat trick for becoming the most fuckable man in the academic library]#tbf it is between a hip and thigh holster #which frankly. makes it worse my dude.#caleb widogast #critical role

So one thing about me is I love reading and I just got some new books I want to read. I saw a post about this and now I can’t get it out of my mind - one of my current fantasies is reading a book whilst being teased and eaten out.

Like maybe I was already reading when you found me or you gave me my book deliberately, either way.

Start by just teasing me as I’m reading and making me blush. Kiss my neck, grope me and we both now how stubborn I am so I’ll try to continue reading at first. But once I put the book down and try to kiss you, place the book back in my hands and tell me I have to read it out loud.

I reluctantly agree because you say you’ll stop if I don’t. Keep teasing me and once I start squirming put your fingers in my underwear to see how wet I am and tease me about it.

“That was quick.” “Does reading really make you this wet?” “Such a slut.” “I barely have to touch you and you’re soaking.”

Then say something like “I guess if I got you this wet then I should probably do something about it.”

Move down to in between my legs, kiss and suck my thighs until I’m really begging and shaking. Warn me you’ll stop if I stop reading and then eat me out, but take your time. Being made to keep reading whilst your mouth is on me, but I have to read it out loud to you and told to start sentences again when I stumble or gasp because of what you’re doing.

But you don’t stop, you don’t let me off that easily and you keep going while taunting me.

“Speak up baby.” “I thought you wanted to read.” “I can’t hear what you’re saying over your pathetic moans.” “Maybe I should give you a break so you can collect yourself before we continue.” “Louder, I can’t hear you.”

Don’t let me cum until I’ve finished reading a chapter…or two.

hey, i just want to spread a warning right now that on limbus company tiktok (possibly LoR and lobcorp tiktok too, so i will crosstag) there is a person going around responding to comments with cropped porn if they disagree with your ship/hc because it doesnt fit their hc

for context my friend posted a video about how they like meurdon and i commented about how i think meurdon is quite cute, and they responded to my comment with cropped porn (i think because they hc don as a lesbian? which is completely fine but u shouldnt harass people who dont hc that) like... there isn't anything wrong with meurdon? theyre both consenting adults?

there have also been other people on limbus tiktok who have been calling random people groomers seemingly for no reason except to stir up drama, so i would recommend being careful (the joe hawley bg video was posted before that new document came out so its not related to that and my friend doesnt support him)

if anyone else has more info on this i would be grateful for replies or reblogs with info no pressure tho!! i am leaving that account uncensored purely for blocking purposes please do not witch hunt anyone involved

quick edit: this is /nm but please dont respond to this with 'tiktok moment' or similar things, i understand where youre coming from but it just kinda rubs me the wrong way because this post is a genuine warning, and also while i agree a large majority of tiktok is toxic, the projmoon tiktok community is mostly very non toxic (up until now i have never experienced any bad things in it, and i dont know anyone who has) and it just kinda... feels a little mean to the people on there who dont do nasty stuff (again, im not mad or anything at anyone who replied with this kind of thing, please do not worry about that)

#limbus company #project moon #lcb #projmoon #lobotomy corporation #lobcorp #library of ruina #again its fine to hc any character as lesbian bi etc but if someone else doesnt hc that #then i dont think you should harass them #plus i am a minor and i think my mutual is too?? so i dont think its right to expose us to that stuff over meurdon #please dont witchhunt the person just block them 👍

Today I had the funniest interaction with a teacher ever! This morning in my first period ELA, our class was in the library. I was reading I was born for this on my Chromebook. My teacher saw my book and she asked what I was reading. I said I was born for this. She saw in the other tab it said Kit Connor - Google search. I was so embarrassed at first. Until she said, "I love him." I awkwardly replied, "me too." Then she said, "I have a crush on him" then I said, "me too" my friends started laughing. I couldn't keep a straight face (haha I'm so funny). Me and my English teacher started talking about kit connor, Joe Locke, and just Heartstopper stuff. Then she asked if I read the comics. I said yes and told her that the book I was reading was by the same author. She left and I was laughing so hard.

Later in 3rd hour (our school schedule is weird I have 1st hour English then band or choir then more English.) The same teacher was explaining how to turn in our canva presentations into Google classroom. She asked if anyone had used the book creator website (of course I'm the only one) I raised my hand and then I realized that she was attaching the Chromebook to the projector. 💀 I was praying to God that she wouldn't show my wallpaper. and ofc it's Kit Connor and Joe Locke. Posing. Together. That's how you get bullied in middle school. This is my Chromebook wallpaper

THANK GOD THAT MY WALLPAPER DIDN'T SHOW!!

If I ever recommend a queer book, let it be this one

The way I would literally die for all of these characters is insane

I still can't believe people misinterpret this to be Kaito being homophobic when he's upset because he thinks Shuichi came out of the closet and never told him.

In Kaito's FTEs, he says communication is the most important thing for an astronaut. Communication. You know what isn't communication? Not telling your bestie you're kinda gay.

His reaction isn't displaying anything like "WOAH EW NO NOT THE GAY FOR ME" he's literally upset because he thinks Shuichi kept his sexual orientation a secret form him.

Anyway biting the haters for trying to say Kaito's homophobic because that's just fucking wrong.

(And if I remember correctly his LSE was VERY "Rivals to lovers" gay coded so SUCK IT ANTIS.)

#Plus the fact that Kaito never developed romantic feelings for Maki in canon and instead let her down gently when she confessed #Like I know that could mean he just didn't like HER like that specifically #But......... I mean #in the library dates Kaito is more than willing to read a dirty book with Shuichi #Idk maybe he's Gay Guys #I personally like him being a hopeless bisexual but also #I can see the HC of him just being flat out gay like there is Reason and Evidence for it #Like I think he's so far in the closet that he's not even aware of his own sexuality #but he kisses a boy and boy howdy is he full hog gay/bi after that #I... spitefully kind of want to make him a peacock gay for queer events #Boy wears full ass rainbow or bi colors at Pride you Cannot Stop Him #You tell him he's wearing too many rainbows and he somehow adds MORE RAINBOWS.

2024 reads / storygraph

Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks

YA contemporary + a little sff

follows a boy who suddenly finds himself able to teleport when he walks through doors, often against his will

and has to figure that out while dealing with a new crush, the end of high school and the queer club, and figuring out whether he definitely wants to train to be an ASL interpreter like his father

#Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #this was def one that is just a short YA book to read that was available at the library and i’d seen it has an ace SC so why not #It's fine! a little silly and definitely quirky. felt very 2018-queer-ya #both in use of the random sf element and also like. mc has a big friend group in every flavor #talked about addressed queer discourse in a relevant way most of the time (ie what’s the difference between bi and pan? whatever u want)#I thought the inclusion of ASL and the MC planning to be an interpreter - and the steep learning curve of that - was interesting #I think the ace character was done mostly well but a) why did it bring it up in a way that his aceness inherently took him out of the MC’s #(as the ace char still goes on dates with boys)#and b) why was the ace character ostricised from the queer club and not the guy who was aphobic to him #The sf thing is a little random but I feel like it gelled ok. It fit pretty well within this subgenre of #‘contemporary YA with a little sff but the sff is just there for the MC’s journey and it’s still mainly contemporary ‘#the whole secret agents thing was a bit silly. but also it kinda worked with the quirkiness.

Regency Romantasy

So...it has been brought to my attention that I perhaps have a type, and this book ticked a lot of really good boxes for me. It's regency-inspired. It's fantasy. It's a romance. It has a chronically ill main character. It has sewing and fashion. Literally 90% of the characters are LGBTQIA. It has a BALCONY SCENE for crying out loud. It even has a gossip columnist who might be better than Lady Whistledown (do NOT come for me, Bridgerton Fandom, I said what I said). I could go on, but at that point I think we would have completely dissolved from actual review to screamed list of things I enjoyed, so let's rein it in for a minute and talk A Fragile Enchantment.

I'm going to start with setting, because while this book is regency-inspired, it also plays a little fast and loose with other historical inspirations. The reality of the blight and famine in historical Ireland (and frankly also the troubles and every time that Ireland revolted against England) was that it came after the regency, but here Niamh is the first generation after a similar event and subsequent revolt in her home country of fantasy Irel--I mean Machland. She has grown up surrounded by survivors of the blight and revolt, and like everyone who reads Maus learns, generational trauma is a BITCH. So when our dressmaker protagonist is invited to make the wedding clothes for the son of the king who murdered her people, it's politically and emotionally charged. Add to that the fact that Niamh's magic is hereditary and weirdly murdery, and yeah, things are emotional as heck.

Possibly I shouldn't relate quite so hard to a protagonist who is literally hurting herself for people who ultimately couldn't give a damn about her, but that IS my villain origin story, so all I had for Niamh was compassion at how hard a position that is to be in.

Niamh herself is beautifully written, and Saft balances all the threads tied around and pulling at Niamh's heart just beautifully. Every choice is complex and fraught, and so-deeply-ingrained-she-doesnt-even-notice-it impulse to shape herself around other people's pain and grief and comfort them instead of sitting with her own feelings is just stunningly well executed without feeling dramatic or indulgent.

Niamh is so desperate for friends, and the little ring she constructs around herself couldn't be stranger or more wonderful. From the enraged, grumpy Kit to Sinclair to Rosa and Miriam, this found family is wildly unlikely and prickly, but they fit between each other's thorns just perfectly.

And speaking of people having thorns...we need to address Kit Carmine. Younger son of a mad (and abusive before he went mad) king with an alcohol problem and green magic, our boy is GRUMPY. And BLUNT. And honestly I love him for that, because those thorns are hiding a very stressed out, distinctly squishy center. And also one that is deathly afraid of hurting people, because that's also a thing.

Kit is so tangled up between rage and duty and the few people he cares about that he and Niamh really have to work to develop a compassionate understanding based on wildly different personalities. And then you add all the imperialist and decolonizing stress between them plus the fact that KIT IS LITERALLY ABOUT TO MARRY SOMEONE ELSE and it's a whole deal.

There are so many wonderful moments in this book, it was a delight from start to finish. I objectively have more to say about this book, but I want to avoid spoilers here to inspire y'all to go read this book. I promise, it's worth it. Now, go get it and read. *shoos you toward the bookstore/library/tablet/place you get your books from*
