put neil josten in solitary refinement that man needs to learn some manners

Happy birthday jr.

One of my favorite things about Neil was when he was questioning his sexuality. He looked at Nicky and Matt to see if his feelings towards them had changed to try and deduce if he was gay tm. Of course, he came to the conclusion that he’s pretty exclusively attracted to Andrew, but did he ever even think to look at the identical twin of the man he had just kissed? No, why would he do that. Like hmm, I enjoyed kissing this person, does someone who looks the same give me the same feelings? Never even crossed his mind. Of course he isn’t attracted to Aaron. That’s disgusting. This petty ass man will always have my heart.

There will come a point where you will stop being 18-22 and your art output will slow dramatically, either from life circumstances, work, or schooling, and you will feel the urge to blame yourself for it. Don't!

Thinking about He (Jeremy Knox)

hello friends! here is my piece for the aftg big bang, hosted by @aftgbigbang , which i was so happy to participate in 😊 this piece is paired with an amazing fic by @stop-breathing-its-annoying which you can find here 💗

exceedingly unfair that i'm unable to listen to music while also listening to a podcast while also reading a book while also watching a movie

I am a Gen Xer, and I've been having some conversations about photography and selfies lately, and I want to share a little bit, because I think younger queer people don't quite understand what things used to be like.

I have no snapshots of the era of my life in which I was smootching girls behind the tilt-a-whirl at a shitty traveling carnival in a dusty empty lot. In fact, I have no pictures of any of my friends from that era aside from yearbook pictures of the friends who were in my school. I was a little goth teenager and many of my friends were also punk queers. We could not take pictures of each other.

Why? Because pictures were taken on film. And film needed to go somewhere to be developed. And if there were pictures of people "being gay" then sometimes your whole roll would disappear at the photo processor. Or your 36 exposure roll would return only 32 pictures to you. Because the processor would censor it. And aside from that, you had to be cautious about whether a photograph would somehow be seen by parents, who could kick your friend out of their house. Just because someone was holding hands in the background of a photo.

Snapshots were for kids who did sports and wholesome activities.

A little later, I had a friend who took photography and had access to the school photo lab (the art teacher didn't care as long as no one was developing nudity), and there were some photographers who hung out with the skater kids. But prior to that, there was a whole era of my life, people who were super important to me for a time, that I just don't have pictures of. At all. Because it wasn't safe.

I found myself recently explaining this to a younger coworker and another colleague in the meeting, a gay man about my age, was nodding along. This was an important facet of life if you were a queer teen in the 80s. You didn't have pictures of your people until you knew someone with use of a darkroom.

so you know how in the championship game with the ravens, andrew proposed that neil play backliner to take over for matt who'd mildly injured his ankle? i know it's mainly for practical and logistic reasons but you cannot convince me it isn't some sort of symbolism too.

all year long andrew had been staunchly refusing to accept anyone's protection of him, adamant that he doesn't want nor need it. he was particularly unappreciative when neil had tried twice to protect or spare andrew from harm to the point that neil sacrificed himself and got hurt in the process.

but then in the last portion of the championship game, andrew volunteered the idea of taking neil away from his role as offense/attacker and replace it with defense/protector instead, to keep the opposing striker's attempt at goals away from andrew at neil's back. and that? that is andrew asking for and accepting neil's help and protection!!

you know what that is? growth

another random ass hc: neil wears athletic clothing all the time. like the cheesy “you can do it” nike shirts. those. he dresses like a middle school boy but slightly nicer.

neil: hostage or not, sometimes it’s nice being held

me reading the percy jackson books in fifth grade: yeah that’s a normal age for them to go on all those insane quests

me age 21 seeing the percy casting and realizing that they were in fact babies: hey what the fuck

has this been done yet

"I can't tell Riko no!" "Then don't say a word," Wymack said. "Keep your mouth shut and let me and Andrew do the talking. Yes, Andrew. Don't tell me you forgot about that psycho."

The Foxhole Court - Chapter Four

here is my piece for the @aftgexchange 😊

this is for @accal1a who requested andrew & aaron sarcastic healing as one of their prompts! I’d like to think the twinyards become more open with each other and bicker light heartedly eventually but still act super annoyed about it hahaha

anyways, i hope you like it Accalia 💗

Things you don’t need to feel guilty about: eating, how you look, standing up for yourself, relaxing, sleeping in, taking a mental health day, saying “no.”
