Mised Connection:

You: Charming waiter-cum-spy who agreed to help me rob the fancy hotel where you work before we fell in love, and you ratted me out and got me sent to prison.

Me: Very forgiving former thief who just wants to talk, I promise. 🤞🔪

Don't worry, I'll find you

Great stakes in that final sentence! (I didn't intend the pun at first, but now I do)

Kill Bill x Oliver Twist for the gays

Maksim pulled himself up by his bootstraps. So what if he stepped on a few necks to do it? Frankly, snitching on his former lover—who is a criminal, mind you—is the least of his sins. But it is the one he’s going to have hell to pay for. #DVpit #F #A #LGBT #TV

10 years ago, petty thief Lukyan’s partner sent him to jail and their mentor to the gallows. Now, Lukyan is free and on the hunt for his erstwhile lover. They say the best revenge is living well, but “they” have never tried plunging a knife into the chest of their lying ex. #DVpit #F #A #LGBT #TV

NTA! If you haven't accidentally started an apocalypse, have you really lived?

What if we planned a heist together… But all you stole was my heart? 👉👈🥺

And then traded it to an imperial official in exchange for hard cash?

Financial advice for your ill-gotten gains: invest in bodyguards. #DVpit #F #A #LGBT #TV

I like Mike Tomlin, but it’s a great time to be an Aaron Rodgers hater. Sorry for your partner, though 😔

I deleted Reddit recently, but one thing I really miss about it is that I could easily join a conversation about how much Aaron Rodgers sucks. Here, I can only shout into the void about how much Aaron Rodger’s sucks.

Do you like naked, oiled-up, murderous Romans? What about naked, acrobatic, scheming Druids? Back @tina-anderson.net’s Kickstarter!

The Lion and the Owl is a gritty M/M novel about Caesar’s second invasion of Britain and a dark-as-fuck love that blooms along the way

This game can’t compete until Jim Harbaugh marches right across the field and rips Andy Reid’s mustache off his face

August @king-goldfish.bsky.social · Sep 6

The first snap happened and no one’s gotten thrown out yet? This game is boring

August @king-goldfish.bsky.social · Sep 5

Oh now I see. Dak Solo.

August @king-goldfish.bsky.social · Sep 5

Look as long as this weather delay is still happening can we get back to sexy pics of Dak?

August @king-goldfish.bsky.social · Sep 5

I’m not even a cowboys fan but out of all the people you could credibly want to spit on in that organization, you choose Dak?
