CMS Bike School shared this lovely picture of Team Doolally from the series 2 shoot today. Good to know Carl is still his old ill-fitting jeans and nondescript jumper self...

there it is!

my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):

american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because they're american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that they'd never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life. but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandma's tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that "beauty is fake and temporary", but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandma's house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didn't see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think "well it wasn't ugly on my grandma's body, so why would it be ugly on anyone else's body?". it makes you much more understanding and "forgiving", if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.

Seven sentence... Thursday?

Thanks @gettingbyi for the tag! This is not what I'm supposed to be writing, but I've only just finished having to lie down to recover after Weak as I am, and in the meantime my brain made this transparent bid for the polar opposite - i.e. this is a piece of utterly inconsequential fluff...

Carl and Akram are on their first weekend away together, in a cottage somewhere...

Carl pads through from the shower with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

Akram's eyes flick up and down Carl's body - gratifying - but he turns back to the stove.

"Go away and put on some clothes. This will be ready in a moment, and it is best eaten immediately.

"You're no fun", Carl says, leaning his chin on Akram's shoulder.

"Hmm", Akram murmurs. "That is not the impression you gave last night".

There is no plot as yet... but maybe it doesn't really need one...?

Great to read all the intriguing updates on what you are all up to!!

having completely opposing headcanons at the same time is important for the diversity of the fandom ecosystem. yes I believe this would happen. but I also don’t. hope this helps
