3 nb friends discover one of their brothers has been posting transphobic stuff online, they have 1 conversation with him, and the brother doxxes the California gender reveal parents....

quarantine memes have suddenly become a lot less funny- all talking about how terrifying and awful not having a haircut, or having to video chat, or whatever is, when people are dying- not just from covid, but from all the things that would be considered a tragedy during normal times, but not a word of it is appearing on social media. It could be because Nova Scotia isn’t in the US, or maybe because it was too rural- but this is too scary of an event not to see on social media

my brain, flipping through a binder of cds: hmm and what shall serenade us this fine eve? ah, perhaps every note in rent that also belongs to amazing grace, two lines from mamma mia, lyrics from a song you dont remember the name of, Turkeys submission for Eurovision in 1991, and, lets see... of course! ducks

newsies and their physical affection styles

jack: wont initiate affection but leans into it- you touches his face and he kisses their palm. he falls asleep the moment someone touches his hair. a happy puppy and little spoon.

David: shy about contact, asks permission before everything, even after the 100th date. "can i hold your hand?" he definitely thinks about each request for a good 10 mins before asking, but once he has a hand or some lips hes fully committed to whatever hes doing

Katherine: reassuring and unconscious affection- someone holding your hand when you need it most. a hand on your back that doesnt need acknowledgement. a kiss on the cheek that is instinctual but needed.

Crutchie: enthusiastic kisses- on the cheek, on the forehead, wherever he can reach. sitting beside him means a head on your shoulder, or as much cuddling as the situation allows.

Race: not a pda person but makes affection a game- a kiss because their something on his lips and a hand squeeze no one notices. in private hes all about that physical contact- even if its just laying on top of one another

Romeo: cliché affection, a kiss on the cheek and an arm to walk you down the street. brushing hair out of your face and a kissing your hand like a gentleman.

Spot: protective affection, an arm around your shoulders or a kiss to claim his SO. Also likes lap sitting- whether hes the chair or on top. he needs to be big spoon.

Albert: not a big pda person either, he doesnt like to be touched so any form of contact is affection. a tap on the arm or ruffling your hair. often goes for throwing someone over his shoulder or play wrestling if youre alone.

broke: "cant make a cake without breaking a few eggs" boring- assumes i know what eggs are

FUCK

I JUST REALIZED THAT NONE OF YALL HAVE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT OLD STOCK AND HOOOOOO WEEEEEE YALL NEED TO HEAR IT

heres the link to the album- https://open.spotify.com/album/61uMfE9AvlA7pqBVs3tWmh

IT IS A MASTERPIECE! TBH it was better than A Band’s Visit, and yet this has 0 following on tumblr.

WHatt is it about you ask?

Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story is about you guessed it- a refugee love story. Two jewish romanian refugees come to canada in 1908, and the dude falls hard for the girl in line next to him- hes a 19 y/o baby who’s lost everything and shes a 23 y/o widow whos also lost everything. Meanwhile Ben Caplan yells at the audience about sex, refugees, traditions, and hypocrisy and is generally a magnanimous narrator. It’s HELLA relavent in case you couldn’t figure that out and also really catchy and really well done. I wrote a 2000 word essay on it when I only needed to write 500 words, so i guess you could say I’m a fan.

Just listen to it... you might cry

that said, they do discuss antisemitism, violence, and death (of small children specifically) so be smart but boy is it good and relevant and in the end, a happy story.

Sprace Wedding

Jack, raising a glass: To my new son-in-law, I would say this- You have released me. This monster is yours now

[hesthekingofsomewhere]

[hesthekingofsomewhere]

Newsies as weird things my grandmother has said

Jack: Everyone 30 years older than me is dead

David: On my first date with my ex-husband in 1958, he forgot his wallet and I had to pay for dinner. That should've been my first sign

Katherine: I was always told not to look into my family history because of the pirates

Crutchie: You know the man who spends all his time washing and fixing up that old car that he never drives? well the car blew up. No one knows why. And it would be absolutely hilarious if he hadn'tve parked it next to my damn car!

Race: Have fun! ... I would say be safe but those two things don't go together

Romeo: Hey kid, come here, let me give you some advice. Marry rich.

Spot: Back when I used to sell drugs we would robbed a lot, and we always just took a few xanax and went back to work. whenever the bank across the street got robbed they got the rest of the day off... pussies...

ppl really just be out here hating women for being people huh?

if you have opinions or care about anything youre crazy, and if you dont youre boring and have no personality.

ik ppl are going to fight me on this but like, just think about how we talk about women-

"i asked her where she wanted to eat and she didn't know! God, I can't make all the decisions/women can't make up their minds/whatever"

"She wanted to eat at _______! that place is so ______, she's so controlling/picky/stubborn!"

hmmm its almost like anytime women voice their opinions theyre critisized and you only want to hear them agree with your opinions.

and on top of that- women being passionate about something and having opinions on a topic- the other reaction is "oh thats cute", a total mitigation of the woman's opinions.

Its a losing battle, either youre crazy or youre boring- people dont like it when you agree with everything they say but they also dont like it when you have youre own opinions.

its all just an excuse to hate women huh?
