It's not dead yet! 😅 I have finally updated "Joke's on Me". After a very long time. I've had this part of the ending on my gdocs for over a year and I kept fiddling with the parts that come after this and realized... that I might as well post this part. archiveofourown.org/works/483620...

Wei Wuxian tilts his head to the side, expression going wary. “A debt?”

Lan Wangji nods. “Mn. You saved the Cloud Recesses for me but have been paying the price for it all on your own.”

Wei Wuxian’s eyes widen and he truly is Wei Wuxian now, all of the divine remoteness

the secret to fandom is accepting the fact that you can view fictional characters as complex and nuanced and thoroughly enjoy the themes baked into the show
AND ALSO
imagine them bouncing on it crazy style in whatever way your peenor decides would look hot

I love Yunmeng extra with all my heart. Sometimes I think about how fun it would have been for an animatic.

Two drawings of Wei Wuxian talking. First one of him sitting confidently cross-armed, saying: "Ha ha, Hanguang-jun. Not that I’m looking down on you, but no one in your clan would ever deign to enter the kitchen."
Second, has him taking his arm to his forehead continuing: "Plus, growing up eating like that has made you develop certain tastes. Nothing you make would even be fit for the eyes.”

Two drawings of Wei Wuxian. First, of Wei Wuxian looking in slight disbelief saying "Lan Zhan". Second, of him looking touched as he says "Do you really mean to cook for me?"

A drawing of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian sitting at the table. Wei Wuxian has his hands on the table, excited, saying "Gimme an 'mn' or something". Lan Wangji, seemingly undisturbed, says "Mn"

A drawing of Wei Wuxian holding Lan Wangji's face in his hands saying "My dear Lan Zhan, everything I said was just teasing. If you really wanna cook for me, then you could burn right through the pan until the whole stove is nothing but a smoking crater, and I’d still eat it all up, pan and all, just to show you."
Lan Wangji smiles slightly and says "That's not necessary"

Here’s an update on Barbara Marques from her husband Tucker May. If you’d like to help, contact your reps, especially if you live in California. There’s an easy script on this gofundme:
www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...

This update just came in from Tucker: "Barbara was able to call me today — she is currently somewhere in Arizona but will be moved again soon (we are not sure where). She is being denied medical equipment needed for a chronic back issue and even ibuprofen. She and the other detainees she’s with are going 12+ hours without food. We know she is still in the US but not much beyond that. PLEASE help is in contacting local governmental reps (especially Rep Judy Chu, senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff and Governor Gavin Newsom) to demand action taken now to help these suffering detainees.”

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.
