Uncanny [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] Ongoing, Rated M

Adam Parrish was uncanny. 

The things that made him this way weren’t visible from the outside, and to your average person, Adam Parrish looked like anyone else from the sleepy town of Henrietta, Virginia. There was nothing special about him to write home about and he had made his peace with that.  

Adam sat at a small table in the phone/sewing/cat room of 300 Fox Way, holding a deck of tarot cards that were as elegant and delicate as he was.

Sorry You Saw... [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] Ongoing, Rated M

Adam Parrish was sure that he was going to die of mortification. The whole moment felt like it was happening in slow motion. He had been up late, working on his dissertation, minding his own business. He had his window open because he hadn’t been bothered to lower the blinds, too absorbed in his work. 

Morning Joy [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 1.1K, Rated T

Ronan woke up to the sound of his first alarm. He rolled over blearily, reaching for his phone on the bedside table and dismissed the alarm, rolling back over, and reaching out for his husband. As his arm came down on Adam’s side of the bed, he found empty space. 

Sexy Boy [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 3.7K, Rated E

Ronan Lynch was in a good mood. It was a more frequently occurring thing, unexpected every time he noticed, still surprised by the feeling. There were several contributing factors to Ronan’s good mood, the biggest one being the presence of a certain dusty haired college student. 

Second Self [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 15.1K, Rated E

Adam Lynch sat in a rocking chair settled comfortably on the wrap around porch of the old whitewashed farmhouse, a book in his hands. It felt very stereotypical of him. A man in his sixties, silver slowly making its way into his dirty blond hair, smile lines and crow's feet prominent, his expression often one of pensiveness, sitting in a rocking chair on a porch. 

Built My Life [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 11.1K, Rated E

Ronan Lynch stood in his neighbor’s field, arms crossed over his chest, staring down a cow. The cow was a member of a herd of large black beef cattle, and apparently very confused about how she had found herself in a field that was not the one she was familiar with. 

Lessons [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 986 words, Rated T

Adam had his arms crossed over his chest. His expression was one of skepticism. His fine mouth turned down in a bit of a frown, fair brows furrowed.

It didn't make him look any less handsome as he stared at Ronan, who was straddling the elegant, rough-and-ready motorcycle he'd dreamt for Adam what felt like ages ago. The expression looked at home on Adam's face.

Actions Speak Louder [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 4.2K, Rated E

Ronan slid the door of the long barn closed, done with his dreaming for the day. He looked at his phone, the screen covered in a spiderweb of cracks, but he could still read the time. Adam was going to be finishing with his shift at Boyd’s and would be back for the evening soon. 

Head Over Heels (For You) [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 6.3K, Rated E

Adam took a breath, settling into downward dog. He moved his shoulders over his hands, lifting his legs off the floor, straightening them to find his balance. He took a moment, making sure he was steady, before he moved his chest forward, gaze straight ahead, looking into his bedroom. 

A Little Bit of Love [Adam Parrish/Ronan Lynch] 1.6K, Rated M

Adam Parrish looked up at the bright blue winter sky over Boston, Massachusetts, clinging to Ronan Lynch as if his life depended on it. And in a way, it did. Ronan had his face pressed to Adam’s neck. He was warm and solid and awake . His breath ghosted against Adam’s skin and Adam had never been so grateful to be back inside his own body.

The sweet, kind one, with love for animals/pkmn - Th.oma; N

The grumpy/emo/goth looking one, with a secret soft, caring side - Wrio.thesley; Pi.ers

we're about to get the fifth season of dts.

the fifth.

if at this point you're uncapable of seeing how the show thrives on fabricating drama, manipulating reactions and creating hero-villain dynamics, then i don't know what to tell you, tbh.

#it's also very easy to see who they will paint as heroes and who they will paint as villains #there's a pattern #but i won't be the one breaking it up for you #formula 1 #f1 #drive to survive #netflix #i do not have the energy needed to tag everyone #so hope this reaches someone

List your top 10 biases and answer the following questions:

Tagged by @quaaacky 🥰🥰🥰 (Like quaaacky, #1 is my number one, everyone else is just as I think of them)

1. San (Ateez)

2. Jaehyun (NCT 127)

3. Kun (WayV)

4. Lola (Pixy)

5. Swan (Craxy)

6. Junji (OnlyOneOf)

7. Hanse (Victon)

8. Bangchan (Stray Kids)

9. Jaemin (NCT Dream)

10. Dawn (Soloist)

Q1: Between 1 and 4 who would you rather kiss?

Me and the mountain man sittin’ in a tree...

Q2: Between 2 and 7 who would be your best friend?

Honestly... I feel like Hanse and I might get along well? At least we could talk about fashion.

Q3: Between 5 and 10 who has a better voice?

Mmmmmm, I think Swan’s voice is more powerful. Junji has a softer voice. I’m going to go with Swan on this one.

Q4: Between 1 and 8 who is the funniest?

I’m sorry Chan, but San has exactly my kind of humor. (If we met someone would accuse me of laughing at everything he says to flirt but, no, I’d be laughing because everything he says is funny.)

Q5: Between 6 and 9 who would you date?

Neither, honestly. But I like to hang out with those two weirdos and have some strange conversation.

Q6: Between 9 and 10 who would you do a collaboration with?

Dawn, probably.

Q7: Between 4 and 8 who is the better dancer?

Stray Kids has more powerful dancing (like a lot of boy groups do), but I think they’re both good at it.

Q8: Between 3 and 5 who would you most likely marry?

Kun. Man can drive a car, fly a plane, has a skydiving license, someone said he can drive a train and I wouldn’t put it past him. I’ll never hurt for transportation.

Q9: Between 1 and 7 who would you nurse when they're sick?

San. He’s probably little baby when he’s sick, so I’ll baby him. (And then he can baby me back after he gets me sick 🙄)

Q10: Between 2 and 3 who has a better smile?

OOF, I can’t pick. I’m a sucker for dimples (LIKE JUST LOOK AT ALL THESE DIMPLE HAVING MFS ON THIS LIST. MY BRAIN IS A DIMP-SEEKING MISSILE, IDK WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT)

Q11: Between 6 and 8 who would you vacation with?

Junji would be funny, Bangchan would probably be organized. Mmm.. Bangchan.

[scorchedhearth]

characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn't and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn't matter, it's enthralling either way

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

#Also I'm saying this as someone who actually watched quite a few of Somerton's videos #And noticed those patterns and stopped watching bc I recognised them from here #and had already learned to unlearn them after being so exposed to them here #And tbh I think anyone who hasn't had the luck or made the conscious choice to seek out ppl who pushed against those narratives #Would absolutely have fallen for this man's bullshit. Like let's not kid ourselves we see takes like this every day on this hellsite #2014 me would have. For sure. #This is next to the plagiarism issue which as Harris points out is an Internet wide issue and this includes tumblr #James Somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #This brought to you by a conversation with my wife yesterday #So many ppl on here don't deserve to meme or be this self absolvingly critical of this man #The call is coming from inside the house #The man has a tumblr it would legit not surprise me if some of the things he supposedly made up himself he did actually get from somewhere #And that somewhere was a tumblr post
