if callie took the note i honestly wouldn’t blame her. shauna has shown her too many times that she won’t connect with callie and honestly jeff is the only good parent she has. even though shauna blackmailed her with the idea of divorce, i think callie believes that if she can get jeff and everyone to believe her mother is crazy then she and jeff may finally be safe from her

“Social Intercourse” by Greg Howard: Relatable to Any Outcast in the Bible Belt

Rating: 4/5 Stars Recommended for fans of: Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, Geography Club, and Verbotene Liebe Summary: When Beck and Jax find out that their parents are dating - they’re determined to stop it. For one, Beck’s dad has been hurt enough and two, Jax’s mom is a lesbian. But as they set out to do a reverse parent-trap, can the two overcome their differences and become friends (or more)?

Review: This story does what most would be too scared to - demonstrate the life of outcasts in a small bible-belt town. Anyone who has felt outcasted by extreme Christians can find joy in this tale of rising above hate and the sass that an openly gay kid can throw out in spite of it all. I find myself opening this book again and again for my favorite scenes - hoping to imprint them in my brain before I return this book back to whence it came.

Memorable Quotes:

“Their pointed messages of condemnation on their sign out front serve as a constant reminder, not of love or compassion, but of small-town hate and bigotry.” - Jax

“I stare at her a long time, trying to decide if I want to regress a few years into petulant child mode or not. Or I could regress even further back and not speak at all.” - Jax

“Gay stink eye is much worse than white girl stink eye. It’s actually more akin to black girl neck roll.” - Beck

““Jesus Christ on a cross, Cassidy,” Shelby taunts. “We’re just trying to have a little intelligent social intercourse here.” ... I thumb a quick text over to my girl. I think you meant civil discourse, hooker.”

“Jax grins. I’m beginning to think he finds my sassiness quite entertaining. Better dial it back a notch. I’m trying to repel him, not amuse him.” - Beck

“ “Just trying to decide which of my inner Golden Girls will win out tonight.” “Well, I wouldn’t know a Golden Girl from a Gossip Girl, so I can’t help you.”

How Keith learned that Shiro and Ryou were twins: He walked into the engineering department, probably lost af, saw "Shiro" and tried to talk to him only to get a wrench to the head and was about to start swinging until Shiro showed up, probably looking for Keith, and apologize for Ryou's behavior. Also the story of why Ryou disliked Keith. "Hothead little shit thinks he can just waltz in and act like he knows me? And try to hog Taka's attention? haha. NO."

ngl, this ask is what made me hunt up that picture to reblog yesterday about Keith walking in and assuming Kuro was Shiro lol.  Poor Keith, scrawny teenager all unsure about things but he’s found a support in Taka that gives him some sense of stability and then he gets the same guy switching personalities and dress code on him and throwing things.  Talk about a bad couple of minutes until Taka walks in and the poor kid can double take. 

I imagine the twins get mistaken for each other a lot, even by people that know they’re twins (Ryou in full dress uniform probably loops everyone the rare times he bothers do it and if Taka unbottons his uniform jacket for any reason everyone just assumes he’s his brother).  Their friends probably just look for grease stains to double check before launching into talking to them lol.  But with all that said - neither one of them strike me as the kind of twin that plays the ‘pretend I’m my brother’ kind of thing.  I’m not sure why, but I get the impression they stick pretty tight to the ‘I’m me, he’s him, we’re us, but I’m not him’ theme. 

That said, after Kerberos - how many times did Ryou look in the mirror and see Taka looking out at him before he took down all the mirrors in his apartment?
