Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

[myrrhemaid]

Happy Pride! This dancer’s name is Mark Kanemura and Carly Rae Jepson brought him onstage to perform Cut To The Feeling at her 2019 NYC tour stop!

It got better!

oh! Also I should take this opportunity to air my crack theory about Night Watch, to wit: Ned Coates is a time-traveling grown-up Young Sam.

My evidence: 

Ned is the only other Watchman who is new to the squad, and new to Ankh-Morpork.

He is supposedly the only person who knew the real John Keel, but he never calls Sam out for it. If there ever was a real Ned Coates, and he really knew John Keel, we only have Ned’s word for it.

When he and Sam spar, he fights just as dirty as Sam does, and claims John Keel taught him the tricks Sam uses himself. 

He’s protective of Vimesy, moreso than other Watchmen though he’s known them all for the same length of time.

He is clearly up to SOMETHING; Sam thinks he’s one of the real revolutionaries plotting to overthrow Winder, but none of the other revolutionaries interact with him or seem to know him that I can recall.

When Sam admits he’s a time traveler, he’s unfazed; his question “From how far back?” would make perfect sense as “from how far back in my timeline, where you are my dad?”

He supposedly dies in the last fight, but Sam doesn’t see it, and Sam supposedly died in that fight too.

Lu-Tze is 100% good enough to have two time-travelers operating at the same time without breaking the timeline; he does, however, worry about the unusual strain he’s creating.

So, let’s say an adult Young Sam has a time-travel accident. Possibly after some sort of major falling-out with his dad, one that’s got him still pissed off at him. And now he’s stuck in a vastly more shitty version of the city he grew up in, and the versions of his dad he has met so far are a) a dumb kid and b) kind of a dick. He is not having a great time. He really, really wants to go home, but first he has a revolution to see through.

Viewed that way, Ned Coates makes a lot of sense.

"Do People Really Do This?", Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov [Hudson Williams & Connor Storrie], Heated Rivalry | 1.04 Rose

Feb, 2026

[aaliyahsparrow]

"We'll be completely alone - together", Ilya Rozanov & Shane Hollander [Connor Storrie & Hudson Williams], Heated Rivalry | 1.06 The Cottage

Feb, 2026

Another one where I tried to let the overlines tell their own story. We all know what this is from, and what's happening, and how peaceful it is for them right now, but there's still things happening. They've both got thoughts, and fears, and doubts, and they're both trying to ignore all of that in the hope that they'll get this for as long as they'll need it. So yeah. The lines are one artwork, and the colouring underneath is another. And my signature is just. obnoxiously. there.

[aaliyahsparrow]

I know you're gearing up for a vacation soon but hear me out...

So... maybe.. just maybe.. I was really tempted by this one..

"Guest Appearances", Hudson Williams, backstage at SNL [hosted by Connor Storrie, Feb 2026]

March, 2026

Yeah yeah, more overlines, all off doing their own thing, as per usual. I'm meant to be getting passports and visas and paperwork organised to go spend some time in the US, and instead I'm here drawing actors who made me wish I was a gay hockey player

[aaliyahsparrow]

"Emotional", Connor Storrie & Hudson Williams on Saturday Night Live, Feb 2026

March, 2026

I'm having fun with the overlines again, letting them tell their own story. Mind you, I still haven't actually seen this episode because I've been busy, but it's on my plans for later. Also, before anyone says anything, this is a cropped part of the image that SNL released, not the AI version going around. But I understand if you feel like you need to tell me off.

Look what it is on the Tumblr sign-up/login page? 😭😊🫶 @aaliyahsparrow
