THIS is the type of celeb friendship I'm here for. I love them both.
He's so active on SM these days.
There's something to promote. Don't worry. He'll recede to the background again soon. If he didn't, then I would worry.

Fic Name: Dance Me to the End of Love
Fic Author: Kurts Wish
Fic Summary: While unwinding at a club, Blaine Anderson meets a stranger who promises him one night of passion. When the night is over, Blaine wants more, so does Kurt; but what Kurt offers him is not quite what he was expecting.
Fic Rating: Explicit
Fic Warnings or Triggers: Creator chose Not to Archive Warnings (Please heed Author's Notes though. There is some major angst here, especially in relation to Kurt's past.
Fic Status: Completed
My Review: In the past, this might have been a story that I skipped over or at least didn't finish. Why you may ask? I don't usually read stories where Kurt or Blaine or OOC. And Kurt is OOC. He's what I'd call a player. Although, Kurt is still Kurt, and so ultimately, I finished, and I am so glad that I did. Since the first read, I have read this several times since. There are multiple reasons I keep going back to this fic, and I will explain a few of them now.
First and foremost, the writing is amazing. I was hooked from the opening scene on. I felt like I was there, in the room watching everything unfold. I'm so glad that it's a completed fic, because I was unable to refrain from clicking next at the end of each chapter. It had me hooked, completely enraptured in the story from beginning to end.
I also loved the characterization of Kurt. I know, I know. the hipocracy of it all! So let me explain. Kurt doesn't do boyfriends. So he and Blaine make a friends with benefits arrangement. And normally, I don't like the idea of a Kurt who throws himself around, but there's a reason for everything, and it's essential to the story. Nope. My lips are sealed. You'll have to read the story to discover the complexities of Kurt. One thing that I do love about him in this story though is that he is a tattoo artist, covered in body art. The author describes them so well (as I previously stated) that I can picture them. I love his crisma as well.
Another reason that I love this story is the Kelliot friendship. I love most stories where Elliott appears, and although he's a minor character here, I love that he and Kurt are so supportive to each other.
Ultimately, this is a sexy and beautifully written story that kept me clicking next chapter until it concluded. It's definitely worth the read.

@kurtswish
Wow thank you so much!!!! When I make one of the boys ooc I always try to make sure there is a reason for it. So glad you stuck around to see why :)
I agree with this review! Had a great time being your beta on this.

Reposting cause I felt crazy but I’m certainly not.

I'm a little clueless. And don't pay close attention. I know why he owned M and RR but what did Chord and Kevin do? Or are they just collateral damage
My guess would be payment for promoting her and turning up at the wanna be strip club. Let's face it. Neither one of their careers are going as they'd like.
What I find interesting. Both K/evin and C/hord can sing. The both had numerous solos on glee. Both have released original tunes. Yet d/arren recorded the vocals. So not only is the image a facade for Switchback Jacket, the emo buttrocker quartet, but the the band is more like Milli Vanilli in that they don’t sing their own songs. They are just the image their “fans” want to see. Which leads one to believe the drummer and bassist aren’t actually playing their instruments. It’s all fake. Created for the public.
The perfect analogy for the facade that is d/arren’s public life....the image of the straight married man his “fans” want to see. Co-starring the fake bassist. Created for the public. And nothing but a facade.
D/arren played her appearance brilliantly.
Hadn't been on tumblr when this was going down, but these are good points. Not to mention, if he's singing, it can be directed at her, meaning M is the "you" in the line "I am so much better than you at everything".
Darren rainbow socks is back at it again with the gay innuendo and suggestive material. Seems like June wasn’t his pride when April and May were chock full of gay banter. No wonder the gag order was set into place. Where are we now, you ask!
Let’s see, there was:
•Being okay with getting STDs from James Dean.
•Openly admitting to knowing about gay fanfiction with the smirk added, taking about how he can’t wait to read it.
•Sumbiminally shipping gay characters.
•Tweets using Blaine gifs
•Tweets from Pavarotti (we know it’s you) liking poems about loving yourself by gay poets.
•The entire hedwig video he filmed in home
•How he got weirdly upset with Jeremy Pope in the interview where Jeremy was talking about using his voice as an openly gay man. (Darren always closes down in these moments)
•The stretch in commenting on so many nay sayers-tinhats/CC tweets.
When he can’t possibly be filtered, the absolute truth comes out. Darren himself knows he’s a motormouth and that’s exactly why he constantly needs to be fed lines and watched like a hawk from his team. This quarantine might have been the best option for him to let himself be completely open. People are insistent that his team has absolutely nothing to do with what he says, but he himself made it very clear that he has a tendency to rant and when he doesn’t have someone to look over his shoulder and chronically edit every tiny aspect of his personality for consumption, a part of D that only close friends see comes into the light.
Hence the gag order on twitter for most of June, hence the need to bring back an account that only tweets every few years, an account from a time where he was more hopeful, where rules didn’t matter, where the smartest of the fans saw through the facade and and now more than ever he can have an intelligent conversation with the few that see through the ruse. The man isn’t as meticulous as he seems to be, or maybe he is. Whether he’s dropping hints here and there or spoon feeding information to those who have an open ear, what he says isn’t meant as a joke. He’s too smart for that.
To elaborate, in three months of being in quarantine we got grinning like a kid in a candy store over an ex co star, god save the queer’s shirt out and proud, pics with drag queens, and dicks dicks and more dicks. He’s not just aware, he’s blatant.
Also may I add, serenading the pretty eyed ba-lma/in guy, shooting out comments like “thank gawd”, maybe that last one is just latent flamboyancy that seems to attach itself to his metrosexuality.....yeah I laughed while I typed that too. If quarantine continues to condone what they believe to be his “unacceptable behavior” perhaps the team will see they’re no match and give up, let him be. Guess we can be hopeful that one of these times he’ll make a “slip” that’s just not fixable. He’s already falling back on the “no more gay roles” vow. Three step forward and two back. But even a baby turtle can find its way to the sea eventually.
Maybe you put this in another summary post, but the way he spoke to his fellow queer(s) in the IG live. Calling Kev/in "baby gurrl" and being all card-carrying homo-speak with several other guests. Like, if you're not in the club, that would almost be offensive. Luckily, K didn't take it that way because he knows.
I see the Rainbow King of Ding-a-ling and his beardly bestie Hagatha Crustie are back at it again hosting the queerest Kiki in all the land 🙄 every gay needs his gal
What? You don't post with your beard in ski suits that have rainbows to prove how woke you are as a couple? Hmmm, I thought for sure I saw you do that once. Oh, wait.... you live in reality. Where you don't need to prove anything to anyone, have never claimed in 52340986 interviews how straight you were, and aren't out there everyday lying to anyone who'll listen.
goop inspired.
“Special togetherness” and “conscious uncoupling” live in the same universe. All I’m saying.
I wonder how long some of us are going to have to hand feed these things to people who just don’t get it.
The entire connotation of that post was passive aggressive and we know how well D man uses his passive agreessive nature- especially on social media. I would know, I’ve gotten tweets from him that reek of it. All we can do is continue to let our gut sort out what’s right and wrong. Someone needs to tell Mr-D that starting an ann/ive-rsa/ry post with ‘With so much pain and frustration’
Maybe next year they can convince me, for now I remain unphased.
reblog if you're gay, not gay, slightly gay, or if you just want to launch donald trump into a dying star
there is not a single reason to not reblog this
i tried to scroll past it, I really did.
How sad is that?? Lifesaving treatments that are fractions of pennies on the dollar to make vs what they sell for, just so Big Pharma gets richer. And rather than going back into R&D, they go into executives’ & shareholders’ pockets. I’m so glad my gay son is planning to move to Canada just in case he meets a wonderful guy who wasn’t so lucky to get treatment... if he stays alive from COVID long enough to get there. Not that you need to be gay to get HIV, but, you know, risk factors. And since I am high-risk for COVID complications, I hope my kids stay healthy enough to not bring that home to me. I’m certain remdesivir won’t be covered by my shitty plan.

Unbeknownst to the most the DM two days ago...
Darren Criss joked about Beyonce singing the song he wanted to perform during The Disney Family Singalong special on Thursday night..
And got some better comments (well it’s still the DM but no gay hints) than the previous shitty articles.
HA! So I should have read it first. Of course she’s in there, mentioned at the end. Required, but not the focus, more an afterthought that, yeah, she was there, OF COURSE, and with her supposed skill set, was able to help in a crunch, how lucky am I, aren’t we the power couple? WINNING TOGETHER. Plus, Beyonce, of course. Great little press package. Funny how everyone is trying to figure out this whole social distancing thing and how to properly position it properly for the most effective use with fandom. If you can sell that to the public, it does make the client’s script look more real, as no one in their right mind would fake a relationship right now with so much at stake. In the world of selling a celebrity, no one is in their right mind, sadly, or respectful of anything much over money, which is why exposing it for what it is, a sham and not worthy of the title or journalism, and having played a large part in damaging legitimate journalistic efforts, is part of my very public agenda, I have never hidden that. I don’t hate these people, or think them evil, it is more the industry itself and what it has wrought in consequences for society, whether intentional or not. Most intend only good, and to help someone in their career. But in making the show continue through and in spite of the pandemic, it actually becomes more convincing to people in general. Because the other prospect, that you would endanger someone’s life for a buck, is too awful to contemplate at this level of fame, power, importance, compared to all of us little people, and thus gaslighting us much like Trump does with all his awful, until we become exhausted and normalize that which is not normal, and not even acceptable under any standards, much less a pandemic. I can’t see the comments, but I guess that means this one is a good guide to use for the future, to minimize gay comments, so expect more of the same until it quits working. Plus, the tie-in back to the CROWN on his head and a recent photo of her in the house with him, to reaffirm they are closecloseclose in private and this is serious and realrealreal. That crown looks like the one that he wore as Babar to that long-ago Halloween party where C was a Sea Monkey and there were photos everywhere of close encounters of the party kind between an elephant in a spiffy green suit and crown and a shiny white sea monkey in a handmade costume all evening. But we must not infringe on Demi Lovato’s current P.R. press too much, as I think Max was there, too. That press would be awkward. People still have all those receipts.
So, IS it true Max and C dated? I’ve heard this but have never seen verification.
When I was 17, I was suicidal. I won’t get into the reasons, since this would take forever, but I will at least mention that it had to do with bullying.
Back then, my family and close friends kept telling me that I have so many good things in my life. It took me a while to get through the worst of it, and people still kept telling me to think about the good things in my life.
Today, I feel somewhat like back then, and everybody is still mentioning the good things in my life and that I have so many people who care about me and so much to look forward to and have reached more in my life than I ever thought possible. But...does it really matter? Because it all feels so unimportant currently. Like nothing matters right now. Is everything in my life really that good? Do I worry too much? Unfortunately, I also worry about everybody else and what they worry about, which isn’t really helping. It has gotten too much now. So much that I have trouble breathing due to all the worries and my depression. It’s days like today where I do wonder about life in general. Is it really worth all that trouble? I’m truly not sure today. I hope next week is going to be better for me, though I highly doubt it.
Yes. It is worth it. Even if some days (months, years) it doesn't seems possible.
Hold on. And you will see.
You are worth it. Life is worth it. You are stronger than you realize. And you are loved and valued.
Life is always better than the alternative. You are far too valuable to the people that love you. Please don't give up.
I would echo what others have said about life being ‘worth it’ with the addition: I/We can’t know all that you are, personally, going through, but beyond every dark cloud, there is a sunny sky and a rainbow just on the other side. Being here, reading things that are stressful about your problematic faves, knowing what all is going on in the world and what stagnating challenges have faced us through the first half of 2020, are all things that are plenty enough to deal with for any of us. Then throw in a couple chronic diseases, and BAM! Everything seems like too much and not enough at the same time, like you are on a seesaw that is off-kilter, but looking down is making you have vertigo & nausea, so you think maybe you’d feel better just letting yourself fall because at least the off-kilter nausea will be over. Further, too much pain, fatigue, uncertainty about what your future will mean in terms of health or lack thereof.... not knowing if you have the strength to face a new day, since each day seems fraught with complications we never dreamed of for a year, that in D’s words, was to be the start of the “Soaring 20s”. I think this is one plane meant to soar, but the engine has cut out and now it’s gliding, with you, the pilot, hoping you can bring it safely to a stop without causing irreparable harm. I speak in metaphor and simile because I know what it is to hurt, to struggle every damn day, and sometimes there aren’t words to convey this tipping point to those who don’t understand. But when you begin to fold in on yourself and want to let those strong, negative emotions just blow you in a new direction rather than keep fighting on, a ‘mayday’ call is exactly what you do. And although we are not in your shoes, we all, in this fandom, have come together at times when one person struggled and needed to be buoyed up, kept aloft, and given permission to land safely, even without an engine to spare. We are here for you, @souly anytime you need!

Darren Criss joked about Beyonce singing the song he wanted to perform during The Disney Family Singalong special on Thursday night..
And got some better comments (well it’s still the DM but no gay hints) than the previous shitty articles.
From one fabulous queen to another! The whole story, as related, is an appropriately shady, somewhat humorous and snarky, but duly respectful, bow. Funny how when you take away his wife, he usually gets better comments from the fans. He gave Queen Bee her props and raised her status up again, should anyone think she had slipped even slightly from her throne, while still saying that song has meaning for him and he wanted it. D sang that song, “aWhen You Wish Upon a Star,” at Obama’s Inauguration, not Bey, just saying, so he had some rights to it, in that context alone. Stories could have referenced that earlier performance of his, it would have been a great throwback, but Disney got in the way of that one. He got press for both, and tied himself to her during a time when the Black Lives Matter movement is peaking. His advocacy was shut down because it was not seen as a relevant issue based on his following/fan base, and this would have been a great opportunity through a new version of an old performance to remind his stupid team trying to shut him down in socially impactful messaging that he performed for the Obama White House not once but twice, and once was in the same showcase as Bey and other mostly black entertainers, chosen by the Obamas themselves for their biggest ball. He has a point, this cause is not out of line for him as a supporter, just not properly cross-referenced for his fans, and he should never have been silenced on BLM. He is showing his respect, deferring to the proper voices, and showing his long held alliances, and that they were earned. I know Covid has messed up everybody’s “normal,” but his team must have all gotten sick for them to be this lacking recently, and really bad at their jobs, and having to play catch-up.
As usual, @rougedraconteur with the winning comments. Great points, all!
