#a gentleman caller

[c-e-salazar]

Robert Frost once wrote “a poem begins with a lump in the throat,” & i’ve swallowed enough words to know that if Dickinson had known we’d title her poems after she specifically didn’t, she would have sent strongly worded emails. If Hemingway knew we would disregard his own admission that there was no symbolism in the old man & the sea, he would have tweeted endlessly. If Shakespeare ever thought we’d doubt he wrote all he did, he would have blogged all of his drafts for the world to see. If Fitzgerald ever could have, he would have instagrammed a thousand photos of Zelda, each with a caption as fascinatingly juvenile & romantic as when he wrote ‘i love her & that is the beginning & the end of everything,’ only for Salinger to out do him by saying ‘she wasn't doing a thing that i could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.’ & these are the thoughts that remind me, these great minds & poets & writers of history would love to be as much a part of our world, as we do of theirs.

I miss phones with cords how else am I supposed to show that I’m enamored with my gentleman caller if I can’t spin the cord around my index finger in a sultry manner

I forgot how good bring in love feels, they make me feel like the first day of spring after a long cold winter

i’m so sorry to respond to this ask with a gay anime fanfic excerpt but i so deeply agree with this statement that i wrote it into a fic nearly 3 years ago

being in love really is like the first beautiful day of spring, huh??

#asked and answered #liv writes #killua with Gon & me with my gentleman caller fr fr #rereading this like why did i use the word suddenly 3 times in this paragraph & just now notice i’m gonna explode noooo

had a very strange dream last night that was half about freeing Palestine and half about sexual encounters with four different people and now I'm. weirded out but also horny

#luckily I have a gentleman caller later tonight so presumably I will get fucked out of my mind I hope

fun fact when I'm not on here enthusing about video games and fiction I sometimes also do cross stitch

#this is a pet from wow #it's a gift for my gentleman caller #personal #cross stitch #needlework

something something rgu ep 22 nemuro memorial hall being a brilliant example of the series’ repeated demonstration of how queer narratives are subsumed by and misremembered as and hidden within straight ones

#like i've come to find tokiko more interesting as a character #but that doesn't change the fact that her main function is kind of this... distraction from and buffer for the nemuro/mamiya dynamic #(sorry honey) #like the students gossiping assuming that nemuro is motivated by tokiko #followed up by nemuro going to see mamiya alone and telling him he's the one he came to see--not tokiko; #the way mamiya does that like. Direct look with a little smile (only improved by BRoDB's take #where he's pressing his hand over his own heart as he says it) and says 'I'll tell my sister you're worried about me' #reflecting that earlier moment where he tells nemuro that he wanted to meet him and that nemuro's one of the only people he respects #followed by 'my SISTER came here to meet you' *eye contact small smile* #the plausible deniability of keeping your sister in the room with you in spirit as you make seductive eyes at your gentleman caller #rgu #souji mikage #chida mamiya

Story updated

Okay yes I know it took me two months to finish the last chapter of The Gentleman Caller, which since it's now technically longer than several books I own I suppose I must admit is a novel. In my defense, the last chapter is over 18,000 words of smut and has not one but TWO commissioned illustrations so I hope that makes up for the wait. :)

There will be one more chapter but it is a wee epilogue that sets the stage for the..... sequel. Because I CANNOT STOP WITH THEM.

Why did the CDC call me for a survey right after smoking a bowl?? That being said I glady took that 12 minute survey

#I was also literally sending a gentleman caller voice notes #but I love the cdc so much #ive never felt more patriotic in my life to tell that nice man that I'm a tranny faggot and Im vaccinated

Princess Strawbzilla Update

I haven't mentioned her on here lately, but don't worry, Princess Strawbzilla fans - she's doing just fine! She's had a busy schedule of catching bugs, cuddling her humans, and spurning the hopeful advances of her Gentleman Caller (a friendly neighborhood ginger cat with one orange brain cell, which he used to go <3 - an effort which she did not appreciate one bit).

We recently celebrated our first year with the Princess (yay!) and today she went to the vet for a checkup and her shots. I'm delighted to report that my little Strawb is in great shape! The vet commented that she was extremely clean, her coat was in excellent condition, and she seemed very calm - and that she has lost two whole pounds in the last year, which is fantastic news. She's now down to 16lbs, still very cuddly but definitely more cat-shaped.

She is also up-to-date on her kitty vaccines and is once again licensed to practice being a kitty in the State of [Redacted].

The Princess sends her love to everyone (except her would-be suitor, who just gets angry "RRRRRRR" noises).

#Princess Strawbzilla #a very positive vet visit today #she was very good and there was no violence #she is happy and in good health #I can't believe I forgot to tell you guys about #the Gentleman Caller #he's a nice ginger boy and I don't know why she's so mean to him #all he does is love her #bless his little orange heart #release the kitties!

the last few months I've been seeing a girl I've known for a while, and I wish there were a female oriented version of the phrase 'gentleman caller' cause she's extremely cool and we're expressly not looking to be each other's primary partners, which means that mix of cheeky austerity and loving ambiguity is like the exact vibe I wanna hit when talking about her (+ discord call joke?), but what the fuck am I supposed to say. gentlewoman caller sounds a little too forced, and lady friend totally works as its own thing (it's what I'm probably gonna end up at if she doesn't have a strong preference) but it's just not as fun and fancy! I've been polyam for at least the last 12 years, but it's been ages since I've had a relationship that wasn't either completely undefined or we were just each other's ___friend. (I also haven't been with anyone but Ephraim/Byron in years cause I was newly single when I got him and he wanted to wait until we were together IRL to start navigating sharing each other; this is bringing a lot of new experiences anyhow 👍)

#still a homo btw. she and I are both nonbinary faggots and sometimes something extremely t4t just happens to u. happy pride #also I AM gonna just talk with her about if she wants a label‚ but I don't think that convo is the place to bemoan No Girl!Gentleman Caller #so getting my wiggles out on here since it's completely unimportant on a big picture level #+ not writing 'girlfriend' off‚ she's just had other partners at about my lvl and doesn't call them her boyfriends/girlfriends/etc #so I haven't been using it for her bc ive only seen her use it for very serious partners so far #but that might be a coincidence‚ we'll find out when we find out

i do like prodding at how character dynamics shift when you change a characters gender, lol

#look! it’s fun. it’s a fun thought experiment. #the alternate timeline where dio brando keeps assassinating his sisters gentleman callers so she doesn’t get the inheritance— #[almost regrets breaking up whatever lesbianism was going on between her and erina] #almost. almost. #spite is a hell of a motivator

gasping and saying, “he came!” when Stewy appeared

#like a lovelorn regency woman waiting for her gentleman caller #or a bride who was afraid she’d been left at the altar #stewy hosseini #succession hbo #he’s never been more beautiful. except for the time I saw Mr Moayed in person.
