That word scares me. And yet, I keep writing.

HAPPY FRIDAY, FRIENDS! 

So I know the weekend is usually when I get to never leave my apartment and sit online all day to vaguely exist here more than usual, but my mom and sister are coming up to visit for the weekend so I’ll probably be mostly MIA. HOWEVER. Ya girl planned ahead and not only already submitted my @ficletinstruments prompt fill for the week, but also finished Monday’s Coda Fic update! So nothing will get delayed. And a bonus? At least one of these weekend days will be spent entirely at the beach, which means HOURS OF WRITING!

Or, perhaps, some reading for a change because I’m almost done with the book I’m reading, Out of the Shade by S. A. McAuley (aka @otppurefuckingmagic, our favorite author of In The Sin Bin!) and my heart is aching at this precise moment and I NEED TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS, I nearly couldn’t put it down to sleep last night. I’ve got some good books lined up to follow, too, if I can pull myself away from writing every free second I have to actually finish reading the new books I keep buying/borrowing. 

And thaaaaat’s about that. This week at work went surprisingly smooth, knock on wood so I don’t jinx myself for today, and I get Monday off to spend with my family which is so nice since I only get to see them a handful of times a year. Plus, it gave me an excuse to actually clean my room/apartment, which looks almost livable now! xD 

I hope everyone has a great Friday, and an amazing weekend if I don’t get a chance to pop in and out a ton. <3 <3 

#thank you!!#out of the shade#this book was a very personal one

I see your Kevin has dimples and raise you an Andrew has dimples but no one sees them bc he never smiles

bramlouisgreenfeld answered:

honestly i would die for this hc. like andrew and aaron rarely smile so no one knows. but then when katelyn starts hanging out with the foxes a lil bit more there’s like a chance of one of them catching aaron smiling… but like no one cares about aaron so it takes a while? but there’s a picture. and aaron’s in the background. and allison looks back on her photos from the night and she just goes. holy fuck that’s a dimple. dan’s like “yeah who cares?” and allison just looks her right in the eyes and says “andrew has dimples.”

but no one has PROOF and as we all know, it’s not true until u see it. so there are bets on whether he has them, whether he’ll ever smile, will it be because of neil, is it only one dimple or both, etc. etc. these are probably the longest standing bets among the foxes, the few that have lasted from the psu years until years after graduation because the boy does not smile. literally not ever. what the fuck. (the foxes are gonna be patient about it.)

and neil knows about the bets even though he doesn’t take part. he’s like. who even cares? it’s just… ur face goin in instead of out what the fuck. (bless him he doesn’t understand). he makes 0 attempts to make andrew smile because he knows andrew’s happier and he knows at least that andrew’s content so that’s enough for him. and he’s seen aaron’s dimples, there’s nothing that special about them? what the fuck

except.

except. 

he manages to catch andrew off-guard. one day, years and years on, when neil’s all but forgotten that the others are so intent on seeing these alleged-dimples, andrew’s relaxed. it’s warm, the cats are purring somewhere nearby without breaking shit, neil’s made him coffee and they have nowhere to be, and neil says something utterly characteristic and hilarious, and andrew breathes out a laugh. which isn’t particularly new. but there’s… somewhat a smile? and neil just like,,, stares. which andrew is used to. so he doesn’t comment.

(neil has to text all of the foxes, immediately, and doesn’t realise/care he used the group chat that andrew and aaron are BOTH in. he receives death threats from both.)

i was just slammed with the thought of: andrew, like a normal human, has a racing pulse when he does things he’s scared of. (see andrew on the roof top, “andrew lifted a hand to his own throat and felt for his pulse. he tapped his finger along when he found it. it was going faster than it should.”) so please consider that andrew’s pulse was racing when he kissed neil. because it was dangerous and could have this pipe dream. and maybe the second and the third. and even further after that because kissing neil is terrifying. because it’s terrifying to think that he could have this, have neil.

I can’t stop thinking about this for some reason okay so we all know about hockey players and their playoff beards, yes? (lets pretend i know things about sports) what if they had the same tradition in exy? I’m just imagining all these exy boys with their beards please bear with me

  • before and during the pre championship games, the fox boys just stop shaving
  • listen to me
  • kevin with a beard, o shit
  • kevin has one of those beards that grows in real nice, i’m talking like chris evans’ beard except darker
  • he looks fucking beautiful, with his dark hair and his green eyes, he was already a heartthrob before, but exy fans (female and male alike) are losing their pants over this shit
  • neil was aware of this tradition but this is his first time participating
  • he does not want to join in, but matt hid all the razors in fox tower
  • neil cannot grow a beard. it’s patchy, it’s scraggly & itchy and he is NOT HAPPY
  • until andrew starts scratching his fingers through it when he kisses neil (which is even more frequent than before, andrew thinks neil’s ginger ‘beard’ is hot, he wont say so, but thank u playoff beard)
  • matt’s beard grows in real thick
  • dan has forced him into a flannel at least once for that LumberJACKED Aesthetic™️
  • nobody can be in the same room as them for very long, nicky jokes that dan is in heat
  • nicky always wants to look smooth and beautiful but he didn’t want to be left out
  • he convinced erik to join in all the way from germany
  • he skypes erik like 20 times a day complaining that it itches the first week
  • andrew and his blonde beard, please imagine this i’m fuckidngs;skfah
  • neil wants to die
  • andrew looks good with a beard
  • & 12000% more deadly tbh, people literally avoid crossing paths with him in pubic because of his permanent Murder Face™️ mixed with a beard
  • cue neil slipping off with andrew to do dirty things like 25/7
  • when will wymack catch a break
  • they rarely hear from aaron anymore, he’s always with katelyn (having straight person sex, as nicky calls it)
  • even wymack joins in, he looks so burly & intimidating. nicky tries to find out if abby likes it but instead earns himself 5 miles around the court
  • BONUS jean grows out his beard & is speaking french, jeremy is pretty sure he’s gonna have a heart attack, he wont survive championships with this shit

There should really be a ‘nevermind’ option on Netflix. Sometimes I start a movie or a series and ten minutes or an episode in, I decide I don’t like it. I don’t want to see it in my ‘continue watching’ category, and I certainly don’t want to see ‘because you watched this thing’ either. I made a mistake. Please stop reminding me.

I’ve come to realise that some people clamoring for more LGBTQ+ representation in literature - especially when it comes to more specific characters and / or situations - may not be aware of the plethora of book publishers who are catering towards this exact niche. The pattern of a text post stating they just want X book, only to have other tumblrs responding with “have you tried this? or this? This might also fit X. You should also ask Y, they know a lot” only goes to exemplify this. This specific post by @siancrosslin really pushed this issue to the fore of my mind. So, in an attempt to provide some cool resources for you to check out - because it is your responsibility to go look for these books - I decided to create this resource of LGBTQ+ publishers you can check out.

LGBTQ+ publishers on tumblr @bellabooks | @blindeyebooks | @harmonyinkpress | @interludepress | @lessthanthreepress | @ninestarpress | @riptidepublishing | @sealpress | @supposedcrimesbooks | @topsidepress | @torquerepress 

Other tumblrs to keep an eye on @asexual-literature | @bgsqd | @lgbtqreads | @lgbt-ya | @minoritiesinpublishing | @queerbookclub | @queerteenlit

Other resources

This is a bare-bones starter pack to get you going. There are lots and lots of other blogs out there you can follow. If you’re looking for more intersection in backgrounds, or you’re looking for another kind of diversity altogether, you can check out my resources page - it includes links to publishers on tumblr, authors on tumblr, tumblrs supporting wlw, tumblrs supporting disability in children’s literature, and much more.

Creating more diversity in your reading starts with YOU. Take responsibility for your reading choices.
