You know what I find interesting? In S2 Nils told Wille that he was right to deny the video and that Simon didn’t understand how things worked for people like him, and Wille agreed. Even though he knew he was wrong, imo he was looking for validation that he wasn’t getting from Simon and Nils offered him just that at the time. But in S3, Nils tries the same "He's different from us, he doesn’t understand your need to protect yourself the way I do" thing and Wille immediately shuts him down because this time, he has Simon and doesn’t need the wrong kind of validation.

I can write an essay on how most of the time, Wille's motivations depend entirely on having Simon or not but this is one of the most clear-cut examples. This is why he needed to abdicate for his own sake and not just to be with Simon like he intended in Season 2.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.

me, consuming media: oh no, I hope this awakens something in me. I hope it's all I can think about, and that I smile to myself while considering the facets of it, turning it over in my mind and watching it refract light into rainbows. I hope it grows in me like a flower, twining through all that I am, so that in 30 years I can look back and realize I don't remember what I was like before I loved it. I hope I can find joy in it even when it's fallen to the back of my mind. I hope I remember that first moment I felt drawn to it, and the moment I knew it would stay. I hope I will be defined by the way I love.

People who say bi erasure doesn’t happen need to realize Freddie Mercury is known as the most famous homosexual man when he identified himself as bisexual. If that’s not bi erasure I don’t even know.

If this post gets:

100 notes I'll explain my gender to my friends and tell them my pronouns

500 notes I'll explain my romantic orientation to my friends (they think I'm aroace, I just identify as ace)

1000 notes I'll come out to my sibling (they're agender, I know they'll support me)

10 000 notes I'll come out to my sister (she has pronouns in her discord bio, it'll be fine)

100 000 notes I'll tell my best friend I love her

1 000 000 notes I'll come out to my homophobic, transphobic conservative Christan family that I live with (they still talk to my agender sibling, so it'll just be very awkward for the next few years...)

A mutual just asked if any of their oomfs were british and i was about to comment "does having been colonized by them count?" my humour is broken

And this is not the first time either, i remember someone on reddit asking me where i was from and i said i wasn't comfortable saying but he kept pushing and "guessing" so when he asked if I was British I was like nah, but we were colonized by them

What's your fav YR quote(s)? Why?

In no particular order:

1. "The water is cold today! Just so you know."

This whole scene just gives me so much joy and I love a goofy Wille. Also, Simon being so joyfully exasperated with him because of it? Yes please

2. Atpaftmoombilyatinf

It's iconic and what I named my phone, so I think it deserves its spot on the list

3. "Just needed some air."

(Ex-) Crown Prince Air of Sweden everyone. I just think it's hilarious

4. "Tell me who it fucking was!" "It was me!"

Emotions were running so high here, I loved it. Also seeing Wille threaten August with a gun was incredibly fun, I have the screenshots of the chat.

5. "What the hell do you think?"

Simon was the character that kept me watching Young Royals and I'm so glad he got an iconic last line that speaks to his personality. Also, Wilmon endgame <3

If you can't tell, I love it when they're happy, but also, I love the occasional rise in drama. Actually, I love Young Royals BECAUSE of the drama, it kept everything so interesting (even if all the kiss scenes put together are like a total of 5 minutes and Wille smiles for only a minute in season 2)

#wilmon #young royals #these are great!

Another installment of recs. 13 Reasons Why edition. Links included. It's been a while. I know.

Zach and Alex

Okay, so. I did not personally love this show. It was okay. I did, however, fall in love with this ship. In my humble opinion, there are not nearly enough fanfics for them, but here are a few

1. Deserved by TheLovliestCrime on Ao3. Okay. This fic is my favorite. It is so good. This fic starts with Charlie and Alex together, but Alex realizes he is in love with Zack. But there is NO Charlie bashing. Zach is kinda dumb in this for a while, but it gets better. Rated Explicit and has over 80,000 words.

2. Damaged by thatcrazymj on ao3

This fic is about 23,000 words. It is rated T. This fic starts with Alex and Jess together, but it is going badly. Basically, Zach comforts him in the aftermath, and they discover something more. Highly recommend. Kinda angsty. Be warned.

3. We Don't Need to Whisper by just_chiara on Ao3.

This is technically the fourth fic in a series, but it is the main one that the series resolves around. They are already together when the fix starts, and they are just figuring out their relationship. Rated Teen. About 85,000 words.

4. Baby Steps by Alex_Standalone on A03

So this one is kinda angsty, too. Zach is super depressed in this one. Eventually, he and Alex get together, and Alex helps him because he knows what he is going through. Great writing. Rated Mature, about 31,000 words.

5. Mouth to mouth, heart to heart by ZachandAlextime on A03

This takes place during the camping trip after Alex realizes what Winston's motives were. Zach has a bi crisis, as per usual. Explicit, about 42,000 words.

This next recommendation does not include Zach and Alex. It is a series about Justin and Clay being brothers where the dreaded 4th season does not exist. Read it. Please. It is so good.

6. A Maze of Moments by RealDaveofDaves on A03

This is an AMAZING fic series. It starts right when Justin and Clay have to start getting used to being brothers. The series as a whole has about 280,000 words. They are all rated G or T even though it is fairly mature content based around the content of the show. I really loved this series, and you won't be disappointed with the ending.

Happy reading. Give me feedback if you're willing. Love y'all.
