Howl normally gets the Allen Ginsberg love (and it certainly deserves it) but I always preferred Many Loves for its combination of bluntness, tenderness, and self-discovery.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Happy Birthday! 🥳

Damn him for being so pretty. Damn him!

brb doing some googling for... uh... science...

*turns and looks pointedly in Jimin's direction, with a "go on, then" expression*

We've been so good, we deserve it

To be fair, if I had abs like that, I'd be flaunting them whenever possible too.

There are times when a huge space opera is just what I'm looking for, the more pages the better!

I'm hoping my brain will kick into action this weekend, and I'll jot some silliness down! 😁

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 1d

I shall remind it of that fact! 😁

There should be some writing time this weekend, so crossing my fingers that the necessary neurons wake up by then...

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 1d

I have an idea for a fairly silly, still hopefully sexy short story but my brain is currently uncooperative when it comes to actually writing it down.

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 1d

As far as I can tell it just hides them, on a per-device basis (I've seen things show up on desktop that I've previously hidden in the app, for instance).

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 1d

I've been using the "Hide post for me" option in situations like that

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 2d

I mean, if you find your niche, lean into it! 😂

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 2d

Look, let's not be hasty, here. Let the man argue his case a little more... 👀

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 2d

I genuinely gasped at one of the earliest episodes, when he was galloping up some stairs and his ass was just BAM. I should write to the costume crew and thank them.

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 2d

Not sure if it's the same with dogs, but our cat LOVES nutritional yeast and that'll get her to gobble down food she'd otherwise ignore. Means you can keep the good Parmesan for yourself 😂

I binged Love Sea and am now almost through Cherry Magic (I have been VERY productive 😂)

Can I just say that they knew exactly what they were doing with this blue shirt.

Screenshot of "Cherry Magic" where Achi is riding on Karan's back with his arms around his neck. Achi's biceps are SWOLE in his blue dress shirt. He's looking at Karan like he's tempted to lick his face.

Counterpoint: think of all the BL you can watch

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 2d

Look, it starts with his former best friend (who he now resents, for perfectly reasonable reasons) heroically preventing Oli's porn from playing through his mom's Bluetooth speaker, then things only get more awkward.

Is it enemies-to-lovers if he doesn't know you hate him?

Thank you! 🥰

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 2d

😁 Thank you! I always struggle so much with these 300 character pitches...

Alex Pendragon @alexp336.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks Amber! It's silly and sexy and full of snark, and I'm just crossing my fingers the right person reads it and falls in love 😂

Take one secretly-bisexual pop star, trapped by his image.
Add a wry, gay assistant who hates pop music and can't trust his heart.
The Type A manager;
A risky new album;
And feelings too dangerous for love songs.

Because once the spotlight finds you, there's no going back.
