✬ On masculinity in ofmd by @edwardsilkheart
✬ The different genres various characters are in, and how they clash and synthesize by @fuckyeahisawthat (THIS is required reading and the reason this show works so well, all these different & contrasting flavours combined into something truly delicious. If you read nothing else on this list, read this)

✬ these two posts by @mikimeiko about Ed and the mortifying ordeal of being known
