So this week I found out that guy had a major crush on last year separated from his girlfriend of eight years. I wish I could say I was very surprised by the way I felt, at the news, but to be honest, not really. I’m also not really surprised that most of it is complicated and weird and not always comfortable.

Like, aside from the him-specific ( Read more... )

So, I was going to do a big Thinking Post about all the fics in progress I’ve failed to touch (or in some cases, think of) for…anywhere between two to eight years. I was planning on having, idk, a summary of what went wrong and a maybe even try to see if any of them had a chance of being picked up. After all, I’m turning 30 next year, and I figure ( Read more... )

One thing I’m starting to understand as I try to (very slowly) work on a co-writing project about a fandom I’m currently into (yes, it is Good Omens, how did you guess) after spending seven months working on the same fic and spend my days at work alternating between long stretches of intense focus and moments when I can’t stomach the thought of ( Read more... )

So I’ve been giving thoughts to the idea of Good Omens and queerbaiting, because it’s been discussed a lot and. Uh

I have further thoughts on the whole Raphael!Crowley semi-fanon thing that’s happening these days. See, my problem is not that it exists-it’s a perfectly understandable thing to think, and it was what I thought myself when I first read the book, so I’d be a hypocrite to say people shouldn’t headcanon Crowley as being Raphael’s new form [1].

Also before I go to bed, let me just say that as a not old but not exactly among the youngest (or the most virile) trans man, I’m so so so happy to see Aziraphale/Michael Sheen onscreen!

No offense to the young trans dudes whose pictures get shared around but they tend to look like young jocks and/or thin twinks and that has never ever been my ( Read more... )
