HI YES I'M A YOUNG AMERICANS AND WEST WING ENJOYER! I didn't know anyone else was into young americans on here so hi!
hiiii!! I didn't know anyone else was into young americans either lmao
I just started watching it for katherine moennig and then I got captivated by jake's transgender swag .... his character makes me feel sooo insane like. did they know they were writing a trans character cos that's what they did u can't tell me he isn't
that being said i'm the first to agree the stones are extremely uneven musically but when people say they don't have a perfect album or even one album that holds up i'm like does sticky fingers mean nothing to you. was mick taylor's suffering all in vain
okay wait poll time again bc ive been ruminating in this. obv in my time irl and online ive met tons of classic rock fans of many ages types tastes etc. and almost all of them liked the rolling stones. but ive never met anyone who said the stones was their favorite band until ezra (hi angel). my own opinion of the stones is that theyre good obviously but like. in their career theyve done a lot of different things very well but again in my opinion every single thing theyve done well theres another band or artist that does it better. and even being super charitable and ignoring the outright garbage they were putting out for a while to stay relevant (ezra dont be mad at me) for me theres not a single stones album thats like, GREAT. Theres albums with great songs in them (beggars banquet through exile mainly) but they dont really coalesce into being a great ALBUM, like a single cohesive entity thats more than the sum of its parts.
and now im looking back on my storied career as a rock fan and im like wait, have i ever met a single person who was ride or die for the stones (before ezra)? and the answer is no. so now that theres a bit of a classic rock fandom on tumblr again im wondering what the deal is. So
hey!! I don’t know if you’re even in this fandom anymore, but I read your King of The Beach fic back in 2021 and it was life changing. (Is this the right pirateboy? Sure hope so!)
HI ANON this is the right pirateboy and this is SO SO nice thank you so much
i wouldn't say i'm still actively engaged in the fandom anymore but i do dabble in some west wing posting every now and again lol i still love the show <3
anyways it means so much to me that my writing affected you enough to not only remember it a few years later but also send this ask, that's really the ultimate dream for my writing to be life changing lol. thank you so much again <333
ok but the thing about jake young americans is that while the 'girl disguised as boy' trope is not new at all, most of the time there's some level of necessity to why they Have to be disguising themselves. whereas jake is just doing that
