Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.
There is no slut shaming in this house, only slut encouragement
Це ніколи не був любовний трикутник, як мені на декілька секунд здалося. Це був відрізок. І точка, яка йому не належить. І ніколи не буде належати. Проблема в тому, що я не спочатку зрозуміла, що це відрізок. Звичайно, у мене були підозри на цю тему, але я не хотіла бачити правди, і бачила тільки те, що вигідно було мені. Тому, я бачила окремі точки, не розуміючи, що вони з'єднані. Я розраховувала стати відрізком з однією з них, але зараз я розумію, що у мене ніколи не було на це права. Так добре скривати, що ви відрізок треба вміти. А вони вміють це на 10 з 10, ну... майже. Вміють скривати добре, але контролювати емоції - ні.
Он смотрел на неё с нескрываемой нежность, с заботой. Всегда слушал, когда она говорила. Смотря на них было видно, что он бы держал ей волосы блюй она в унитаз. Их отношения были пропитаны лёгкостью. От них веяло свободой, но она бы его точно не отпустила, как и он её. Взгляд как у щенка, который увидел хозяина говорил обо всём, что он испытывал. Её запутанность и неуверенность в своих чувствах, делали больно обоим. Так смешно подмечать каждый такой взгляд, каждый выдох пропитанный чувствами, но при этом точно знать, что ты не она. Что твоей улыбке не будут рады, как кот радовался бы вкусной сметане. Что такой взгляд будет адресован ей, но никак не тебе.
001 was right. Every day we wake up, eat, work, get queerbaited, die
Y’all are aware that Neil is fucking scary, right? He’s not just a sunshine boy with an angry boyfriend, he’s just as defensive as Andrew, traumatised, and downright terrifying when he wants to be
They actually do hold hands
When Robin moves to their dorm (during Neil’s fourth, Andrew’s fifth year) Andrew relinquishes his loft and shares with Neil the entire year
Renee was the first one to catch on Andrew’s attraction to Neil, but Kevin was the first one to catch on Neil’s attraction to Andrew
After Aaron outs Andrew and Neil’s relationship to Betsy (during The King’s Men), Betsy sends Andrew a message that says ‘’I’m happy for you’’
Andrew punches their pro team coach when he makes Neil play despite his injury
They sit on each other’s laps
Andrew is usually the big spoon
Andrew isn’t actually the top, they switch (by the time Neil becomes the Foxes’ captain, they are comfortable either way)
They go on dates, mostly long drives to nowhere, but also long walks on the beach or even a table for two
They stock coffee in their house in case one of them wakes up in the middle of the night because of nightmares
They don’t say ‘I love you’ because neither of them have ever heard anyone say these words directly to them, but there are times when Neil could’ve said them: during Aaron’s trial, when Betsy had a heart attack, during Nathan Wesninski’s trial, when they finally got their own apartment, when their team beats Kevin’s, when the US Court wins the gold medal
Their ‘I love you’ is in ‘Stay’, ‘Don’t go’, ‘Welcome home’
Neil likes forehead kisses, and Andrew is definitely tall enough to give them
Their first time was stressful for both of them, not only for Neil (we like to paint Andrew as this very experienced dude, and forget that Neil is actually his first too, which is sad)
Andrew discusses his and Neil’s relationship with Renee
Andrew buys Neil a camera when he noticed how much Neil loved the photos in the lounge
Andrew destroys the hems of every single pair of pants he owns because they are too long
One day they both stop asking
One day Andrew will learn to trust Neil with all of himself
Andrew is better with kids than Neil
When it’s nearly time for Aaron’s trial, Neil asks Betsy to be there for Andrew and says that he needs a mother right now
Neil practises picking locks, so he handcuffs himself to a bed
when Andrew finds him, he makes fun of his miserable attempts and leaves him handcuffed to the bed, stating that he did it to himself and now has to deal with the consequences
The next day Neil handcuffs himself to Andrew, so he won’t leave him again
*So obvioulsy the statement ‘’everybody forgets about’’ is false, but I wanted to write down all of my favourites (even though I’ve probably forgotten about at least half of them)
This post also exists for writers who need some fanfic ideas, etc.
If you feel like adding anything I didn’t include, please go ahead, let this post be even longer it already is
andrew acts as like a mentor/guide npc for neil lmao. neil asks him what's up with matt, andrew tells him to ask matt himself, neil does, he gets the columbia story. neil asks andrew why he isn't with renee, andrew tells him to go ask renee, neil does, he finds out andrew is gay. this bitch is sending him on side quests
As an ukrainian i ask you too share this as much as possible #StopRussianAgression
Patreon deleted the page of the most well-known ukrainian fund, which helps our army. Without any warning. In this hard times. I share this information here because this platform is popular in artist circles. Repost is exetremely welcome.

Part 1: A Hint of Something Magical [4059 Words]

He soon learns that even someone as bright as Jeremy Knox has a deep, unexpected obsession.
Part 2; if magic exists, you're the closest thing [16211 Words]
The concept of love is not one Andrew understands.
For a long time, it escaped him. It's always fuzzy, always distorted. He'd given up on it long ago, so why is he still chasing answers?
Whatever the reason, he's content to blame Jean Moreau for a lot of things, Katelyn too.
It's their fault he's here, at the happiest place on earth.
tw: implied/referenced abuse
Part 3: The Essence of His Magic [6184 Words]
Jean isn't looking forward to seeing Neil or Andrew again. He doesn't need the reminder of his past, not when he's trying to accept he can be happy. Despite his mind fighting against him, he really is trying; for his sake and the sake of the Trojans.
However, Jeremy is so excited to take them all to DIsneyland, and who is Jean to deny Jeremy a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth?
