idk guys sometimes you just have to accept a ship dynamic is unhealthy, insane, and sometimes abusive. and its not real people so those factors just make it interesting

please stop unfolding the origami crane and smoothing it out bc you got worried the paper was hurting from the bends

(post for two people) still thinking about brudick in provincetown. they go to the leather bar. they go whale watching. they go to the used bookstore and come out with several books of cape cod ghost stories (Bruce) and a history of rumrunning (Dick) and five volumes of yellowed gay erotica with titles like "hard: to take" (shared.) they eat a lot of ice cream and also a lot of lobster. Bruce makes noises about buying some weird sculptures made out of fishing line. people keep trying to give Dick poppers. on the beach Bruce is an enormous eye-searing caftan under an even more enormous umbrella and Dick is in the world's tiniest speedo yelling about how cold the water is and trying to lure Bruce in.

his white whale is to get Bruce to go during bear week but so far no dice. ("you're a bear!" "I'm a WHAT"*) mostly though this is Bruce's insecurity that some other large grizzled man might swoop in and take Dick away. which is silly, because none of those guys saved Dick's life even if they do have pierced nipples.

*this is wishful thinking on Dick's part Bruce needs to get fatter to qualify as a bear. it's a work in progress.

Dick is haunted by the ghost of Grant Wilson. Yes, like his actual ghost. No, he’s not lying, why the hell would he lie about something like that, Slade? Slade, come back. Seriously? You’ve met aliens, you’ve literally entered the speed force, but you draw the line at believing in ghosts?

i really appreciate how rough and imperfect the characters are in this, and the lack of a perfect resolution; the grief is so so real. slade gets dimensions and we get to see his perspective of the other characters. love the little details that crop up - the couch! the walls! - which serve as morsels of characterization as well as make the world lived-in.

Cheju i feel you Named the Game on nipples pebbling; I never saw that anywhere before your fics & now, is everywhere

hahahah how i wish i could take credit for such a wonderful turn of phrase... alas i most certainly took it from somewhere (though i could not tell you where)

Summary:

Every night at sundown, Slade and Dick swap bodies. As soon as they figure out how the hell to fix it and who the hell is responsible, Slade’s going to kill the sorry bastard that did it. That is, if he and Grayson don't kill each other first.

Submitter's comment:

Bodyswap fic that does an amazing job making the body swap part important. These characters’ bodies are their livelihood, and the author is so, so aware of how they move and relate to their bodies. Lovely mystery as well; the author uses it to beautifully express how the characters think. Love how clever Dick gets to be here too.

I was drunk out of my ass last night and the light from the lamppost hitting the trees made me cry at like 3am and I woke up with almost 20 pics like this one

My favorite quirk of American English is that since we're constantly exaggerating, sometimes it's more intense to say something slightly less intense. Because like, it means you actually thought about it.

"you look great!" - normal. Anyone could say this. Could be true or could just be lying to be nice. Very normal expected thing to say to someone

"you look good." - gay as hell thing to say to someone.

really humbling to find the obviously good looking man good looking. I am but a sheep.

I think youtubers are playing pretty fast and loose with the term ‘video essay’ these days. These could have been emails.

[godkissedme]

a lot of taste is just knowing which ugly thing is secretly important
