literally anyone: hey what are you thinking about right now
me, at any given moment: i’m not like you. i can’t afford to be reckless. i wasn’t raised by a loving, supportive family like you were. i have centuries of history bearing down on my shoulders. my life is the crown, and yours is politics, and i will not trade one prison for another. i can love you, and want you, and still not want that life. i’m allowed. alright? and it doesn’t make me a liar, it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, and you don’t get to come in here and call me a coward for it.

“I’m not like you. I can’t afford to be reckless. I don’t have a family who will support me. I don’t go about shoving who I am in everyone’s faces and dreaming about a career in fucking politics, so I can be more scrutinized and picked apart by the entire godforsaken world. I can love you and want you and still not want that life.
I’m allowed, all right, and it doesn’t make me a liar; it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, unlike you, and you don’t get to come here and call me a coward for it.”
Alex takes a breath. “I never said you were a coward.”
1. The sound of your laugh when I piss you off. (@magsalecs)
2. The way you smell underneath your fancy cologne, like clean linens but somehow also fresh grass (what kind of magic is this?). (@alexshenry)
3. That thing you do where you stick out your chin to try to look tough. (@tylerposey)
4. How your hands look when you play piano. (@nostalgiaisabitchhuh)
5. All the things I understand about myself now because of you. (@userstede)
6. How you think Return of the Jedi is the best Star Wars (wrong) because deep down you're a gigantic, sappy, embarrassing romantic who just wants the happily ever after. (@magsalecs)
7. Your ability to recite Keats. (@magsalecs)
8. Your ability to recite Bernadette's "Don't let it drag you down" monologue from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. (@darwinsfinchesx)
9. How hard you try. (@sheisraging)
10. How hard you've always tried. (@stevenrogered)
11. How determined you are to keep trying. (@simon-eriksson)
12. That when your shoulders cover mine, nothing else in the entire stupid world matters. (@magsalecs)
13. The goddamn issue of Le Monde you brought back to London with you and kept and have on your nightstand (yes, I saw it). (@sheisraging)
14. The way you look when you first wake up. (@magsalecs)
15. Your shoulder-to-waist ratio. (@gay-bucky-barnes)
16. Your huge, generous, ridiculous, indestructible heart. (@thomasbrodiesandwich)
17. Your equally huge dick. (@tylerposey)
18. The face you just made when you read that last one. (@uglygreenjacket)
19. The way you look when you first wake up (I know I already said this, but I really, really love it). (@magsalecs)
20. The fact that you loved me all along. (@magsalecs)
— I can't match you for prose, but what I can do is write you a list.
Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (2019) and Matthew Lopez (2023)
Credit to all the gif makers and editors, the real heroes of the fandom.
henry: *talks about literature the way he does*
alex: that is a heterosexual man
Robbie Taylor Hunt will probably go mostly under the radar but he needs and deserves all the props and praise for his work on Red white and royal blue.
intimacy coordinators deserve so much credit and he did an outstanding job with this film!!!
"I fell in love with a person who happens to be a man, and that man happens to be a prince. He has captured my heart and made my life immeasurably better."
(It was *I will not* not *won’t* but you get what I mean)
Henry saying “I won’t trade one prison for another” is probably one of the most devastating lines in modern cinema and it broke my SOUL.

I love you. I love you more. I think that's up for debate.
TAKW MY UQUIZ YIPPPEEEWW
ao3 is down. what am i supposed to do?? continue writing my own fic??? HA you almost got me!! absolutely not. u can't fool me ao3. i'm not falling for that trick.
Thinking about Maddie Buckley going to the door at the beginning of 6x11, seeing that firefighter, and asking “Which one?”
…and then thinking about Christopher Diaz, in his early twenties and living in his own apartment now, opening the door to a solemn-faced firefighter, and asking “…Which one?”
What if I started making buddie fic trading cards to show some extra love and support to writers during the hiatus?
Assuming I have the time and energy while also running 911hiatus 😅
something something Buck being a guest in his own house again
eddie 'no game' diaz and evan 'overshare' buckley should just kiss and make out already, this is getting embarrassing
