If you actually believe there are "virtually no" middle aged or elderly gay men left you need to log the fuck off and go to LGBT+ spaces in real life and go talk to them. They have stories they want to tell. They have lessons they want to share. They want to pass on the lives of the friends they knew who are gone, and those who are still with us.
Believing that they're "all gone" because you're in an internet echo chamber where they don't happen to spend their time is erasing their existence.

Queening the Pawn - part 1-2
Started this before s4 ended; couldn’t get over this crazy twist idea. The timeline is somewhere vaguely after season 4 but handwavey about the end, only really canon up to The Wedding. And yes I am aware that all of my longer form comics fall under the genre “two homosexuals having an argument” lmao
Part 1-2 Part 3 Part 4-5 Part 6 Part 7
Masterpost
(ID in alt and under cut)
ID: 1a. Comic panel, Nandor and Guillermo standing together on a mottled red background with vague yellow candlelights. Guillermo is drawn up angrily, leaning into Nandor's space, saying, "So, why won't you make me a vampire?" Nandor is leaning back to roll his eyes, irritated, one hand on his hip as he groans, "Oh, not this again." 1b. The background darkens slightly. Nandor turns away from Guillermo to face the viewer, shoulders hunched defensively, hissing, and rubbing his temples as if struck by a sudden headache. Guillermo leans around him to continue arguing, "Yes, this again! You promise, and I wait, and you re-promise, and I wait more, and still nothing! You've never even given me one good reason!" Nandor groans in irritation. Guillermo continues to badger him, "Have I not done enough? Don't I deserve it?? Why won't you-"
2a. Close up of Nandor as he whips his head around to face Guillermo, snarling with fangs out and eyes gone yellow, shouting, "Because I have already tried!" The background is darker still. 2b. Comic panel intersecting the corner of the previous, reaction shot of Guillermo staring in numb shock, brows furrowed in confusion. "...What?" he says shakily.
3a. Zoom out to see them both, chest up. The background is now the deep red of dried blood. Guillermo, still staring with building panic, continues, "What. What did you say? What does that mean? ...Nandor." Nandor half turns away with an irritated scowl, waving a hand dismissively in Guillermo's face. He replies airily, "I said nothing. Forget this, Guillermo." 3b. Merged action panels as Guillermo moves quickly. In the first, his left hand darts out suddenly with a grabbing motion. In the second, his right hand snatches a stake from behind his back. The background is so dark it is nearly black.
4a. The background blooms into bright red with spatters of darker red and white as Nandor's back is slammed suddenly into a wall by Guillermo's hand fisted in his cravat, face screwing up in pain. 4b. Guillermo leans up chest-to-chest with Nandor, his left fist now pulling at his cravat and the right holding a the tip of a stake to his throat. Guillermo's expression is less rage then desperation as he commands, "Tell. Me." Nandor looks back at him with hesitation and no little amount of fear, right arm hovering up uncertainly at Guillermo's side.
5a. Close up panel of Nandor's throat as he swallows nervously, the tip of the stake digging into his skin. He opens his mouth and begins, "If..." 5b. Reverse shot, close up on Guillermo as Nandor continues, "If you knew, you would have left." Guillermo flinches, still holding on to anger as tears well up in his eyes. The background, now black, is spattered with dark old blood. /end ID

I cannot stress enough how strongly episode 14 starts. I loved so much of it.
- Haein's beautiful monologue at the start. I love how it contrasts the Church conversation because he does remember and he's willing to still stay true to his promise of being by her side.
"We put emphasis on our happy moments but we dont know what the future hold for us. So we make promises we can't keep and laugh as if these happy moments will last forever. However, there is a dark side behind those radiant moments. When the magical moments dissapeared and hardships made me want to give up, a thought crossed mind. 'Sure, I've experienced many misfortunes, but I still have you.' And that helped me endure."
- The beautiful, beautiful way she tells Hyunwoo why she cannot get surgery if it means losing her memory. Notice how she draws him in a game of remember when. It's their memories that they're talking about and reminiscing. If she got the surgery the strength, the field, him, the memories they all cease. I can't imagine the pain of her knowing that all these memories and experiences would then be only his.
Honeymoon. Field. Trivial info - there was a pub. We drank and argued - intimate detail. Smile - ah I remember you saying that. Passed the field again - a beautiful moon.
"I still remember the smell, the moon and the wind of that day. That's what memories are. Being alive means I cherish those memories and drive strength from them. So those memories define me and my life. And I'll be losing them. This place will just become an ordinary field for me. And you will become a stranger. I'll no longer be myself. That's why I'm not getting the surgery. I've lived as myself and I'll die as such."

Oh, look, Charles & Camilla opened the vaults to let Kate wear the diamond Festoon Necklace. I thought they were jealous haters who didn’t want to let Kate “outshine” Camilla.

With great sadness, the Norwegian royal family have received the news that Queen Elizabeth II, second cousin of King Harald V, has passed away.
Our thoughts go out to His Majesty the King and the immediate family at Queen Elizabeth's passing. For a century, the Queen dedicated herself devotedly to her work and accompanied the British people through joys and sorrows, in good times and bad times. Our condolences also go to the British people.
King Harald has decided that, in connection with her death, the flag at the Royal Palace in Oslo will be flown at half-mast from the palace balcony tomorrow, Friday, and on the day of her funeral.

Everybody huddle. I got a plan.
The moment betty bites it, we turn every site on the internet into a solid fucking wall of Tighten memes.
And if we're lucky, we just might morb a Megamind sequel into production.
Is everyone with me?
We're going to use the codename: Operation Tighten.
