23: a book that is currently on your TBR
six of crows and dubliners! <3
26: your favourite memoir
i have to admit i haven't read many, but so far, my favorite one is just kids by patti smith!
71: your favourite LGBTQ+ fiction
i feel like 99% of people who have read it, i feel a very special connection to the song of achilles and it will always remain as one of my favorite books ever. however, giovanni's room and the priory of the orange tree remain on the top too and are my usual recommendations when people ask me about LGBTQ+ fiction ❣️

ashley and laura both being in that episode is fantastic for iconic bestie reasons but also god the fucking. poetry of. both of them having embodied and voiced central characters in the games and now playing people who are witnesses to what causes the characters’ most central motivations? like ashley as anna watching marlene carry away her daughter who she knows was still part of her when she was bitten and ellie carries the weight of that for the rest of her life because of everything it means for the possibility of a cure. and laura as a nurse who watches the murder of this (for now) nameless doctor whose needless death will be something that haunts abby for the rest of her life. god . cross media storytelling is so ripe with phenomenal possibility for exactly this reason i’m Losing It

Y'all I am losing my mind, I need to say it.
Do you know how amazingly written this scene is??? Do you understand?
Rogue removes the glove and instinctively (out of raw desire and need for connection) tries to touch Magneto's face but stops herself because it's the kind of intimacy that creates tension. She realizes she doesn't want to step into muddy waters, instead she waits for his hand. And he gladly and respectfully accepts it. And not only that - he understands it's an exchange of safe, grounded intimacy that is extended to him and he proceeds to take her hand in his, but also to place his other hand on top of hers.
They nicely seal this scene with Storm’s words; 'to feel another soul finally seeing yours'. Because they do. They've seen each other at their best, and they've seen each other at their worst (when one has failed the other or when they have been too quick to pass judgment onto each other). And that gesture reads to me as "I see you, and I want to believe in you. And this situation in which we are now, how we got here - absolutely sucks, but I am glad you are here."
That’s always been Rogue and Magneto in a nutshell for me. I am in tears about how well handled this moment was. And if the rest of the season will descend into drama, jealous love, conflicts and if it will all burn to the ground so be it (hope it won't be the case) - but you will always find me here, in this moment.
