Neil was struggling to breathe after a particularly hard check from the other team’s backliner. In his haste to get his neck guard off he forgot to make sure his necklace stayed hidden. Well, it was less of a necklace and more of an efficiency thing— a way for him to actually wear the ring Andrew bought him when they got married. The camera for the Jumbotron had started following him the same time as the backliner and was still on him when his ring was exposed to everyone.

Press duty after the game was what everyone expected from Neil Josten being in front of cameras— absolutely anarchy. There were so many questions about him being married and who his wife was, he just had to correct them.

“My Husband and I actually prefer to keep our private lives private, you know. I understand it’s such a wild concept to you vultures that not everything is just a grab for the next big news story, but just let us keep a little of our peace.” Neil walked right out of the room after that, tired after all the inane questioning and not willing to put up with anymore.

For the next couple months Neil was bombarded with questions about his husband. Most went ignored but every once in a while if someone asked how the husband was Neil would be inclined to answer them.

Neil thought nothing of this habit until press after his game against Andrew’s team. The only reason he didn’t think of it prior to the game was because all rational thought was overshadowed by his excitement to see Andrew in person again.

“So, Neil, how's your husband? Did he enjoy the game?” One of the most tolerable reporters asked at the end of the meeting.

Neil smiled to himself— and a little at Andrew— before saying “oh he’s great. Always has a ton of fun at games as well.”

Everyone was so focused on Neil that no one noticed Andrew leaning towards his mic until he spoke, “now that is an absolute lie. I never have fun at these things.”

With that the two looked at each other, Neil grinning like a fool and Andrew slightly amused, and together they decided to stand up and walk out of the mess they just made.

Seeing someone in Hadestown play Hades with a lot of Trump’s mannerisms and cadence is actually horrifying

Like it’s easy to realize that they’re essentially the same person, but seeing an actor deliberately portray him as Trump is a different level

One of my friends is graduating college this may and the other graduated in December so when I messages them about our usual summer meet-up I mentioned that it’ll also be a celebration cause they fucking graduated and they were both like ‘noooo. Not a big deal’

So now not only is it a celebration but I have bought even more presents for them

Since I was 15 I’ve spent the vast majority of my time doing so much shit I don’t enjoy and don’t want to do because it keeps me out of the house and too busy to think about how much I hate myself

It has been 7 years of overworking myself, having no time for hobbies, having no time for a social life, and not actually enjoying anything in life

In this time I’ve simultaneously done school, sports, worked 30 hours a week, and volunteered twice a week or I’ve had 2 fulltime jobs, a part time job, and gone to college part time or I’ve gone to college fulltime, was a college athlete, and had a fulltime job

What little time I so have to myself I spend staring at a wall dissociating because I’m too tired to actually do anything.

I’m just so fucking tired, but I can’t stop because stopping means becoming an even bigger disappointment to my parents than I already am

But I also can’t keep going

Physically and mentally

I can’t keep going

[ciricearts]

ohh so scaryyy!!

There are a few character profiles at the end of one of the Batgirl ‘books’ and its really cool until you pay any attention to the listed height and weight of the women

Apparently a 5’8 woman who is super buff and muscular is only 135lbs (Lady Shiva)

Which actually doesn’t seem that bad when the very next page has a 5’11 woman weighing in at 126lbs (Barbara Gordon)

luv how male animals gotta fucking dance around and cry and shit for female attention and sex. and then men irl complain about fat women and body hair like get on ur fucking knees and beg me actually

[eddies-ashtray]

like these tarantulas dude?? the male has to tap out a rhythm she likes and if she doesn’t?? she’ll literally eat him.

[caustic-light]

Alpha males: "This is nature. You don't see animals acting like queers don't you?"

90% of nature documentaries: "Until now the female has been very impressed by the males drag performance of Orwell's Homage To Catalonia, soundtracked exclusively by Maria Carey songs. A demanding performance like that knows to impress. But... Oh No... One note in the final tune was one cent flat. It doesn't look good for the male now. She is ordering an orbital laser strike to burn his beautifully groomed plumage from space. It will take all year to regrow, effectively ending this one's mating season early. Better luck next time, little guy. Women are a tough audience."

I’m reading Batgirl(2000-2006) on my kindle so it’s all combined into one ‘book’ and the art change about 300 pages in is actually killing me

I’m so fucking excited for the new Teen Titans line up

I’m so excited for Stephanie Brown to (hopefully) become a bit more well known

I’m excited and a little scared for Jason Todd to join the team

I’m terrified Tim fucking Drake is going to appear

This is the first time in my life when it's actually fair to criticize the President for gas prices. I've spent so many years explaining to people that Presidents have pretty limited influence over the price of oil and that they do not have a magical lower-gas-prices button on their desk, I almost forgot that the President does actually have a raise-gas-prices button on their desk called "start a war with Iran for no reason"

[nomadthingsunderscore]

I really wish Steph and Jason would get more time together I really like their friendship, also I have nottt done lineart in years this was weird for me

[boredfangirl16]

Andreil being one of the healthiest couples is absolutely nutty after all they’ve been through.

Hey satisfy my random curiosity

How often do you use an elevator?

Daily

A few times a week

A few times a month

Maybe a few times a year

Nuance/bald/trapped in a void before the invention of electricity

Okay, first off I was not expecting this to breach containment of my immediate following so that’s pretty cool

Secondly it’s hilarious seeing the tags go from “how the fuck is a few times a year winning I use one every day” to “I haven’t seen an elevator since 1962” every few reblogs

[strawberryshortpace]

I hate elevators and most tend to make me motion sick but I have been using them basically everyday for about a month now since I had surgery and am now required to. I’m living in hell
