A young Peter Wyngarde guests as journalist Andrea Bakolas (a fictionalised version of the real Gregorios Staktopoulos) in Overseas Press Club - Exclusive!: The George Polk Case (1.9, ABPC, 1957)
Here’s this weird little section from BODY BACK. Perhaps mildly spicy as a warning??? Mostly strange! I have no gauge lol. Jeremiah bait!
They aren’t exclusive, don’t even know each other’s last names, and besides, how can Jeremiah help how everyone magnetizes around him? Harrison can’t blame them. Jeremiah is illusory under the disco ball’s speckled light, his throat long, biteable, his eyes syrupy in his high. A woman takes him by the shoulder, but not just any woman—Biyu, and her eyes are pinched, analyzing, because she’s looking at Harrison, her glossy crimson nails on Jeremiah’s cheek, and she’s kissing him too now, her body joining the cluster, and it’s good, the way they all roll limbs to synth, the way they turn into each other’s faces and kiss, kiss, kiss. The music clangs, their mouths full of spit. The DJ says to hold your partners close, and they don’t have to. They are not simply together, not simply in chrysalis, but osmosed in their becoming.
Open tag on this but please do this if you see this & say I tagged you! I want to read your stuff!! :)
what's funnier for a meet-ugly fic. if it's a meet-ugly from the start ("we first met each other in a holding cell") or if it starts cute ("my grocery bag tore open on the street and they helped me pick everything up, also I got their number") and then gets ugly ("I didn't call them because I was busy and five days later we met again, in a holding cell")
This reminded me of a character from an urban fantasy novel I first read back in high school (Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light by Tanya Huff, 1989). It's set in the late '80s in the city of Toronto, Canada.
The main protags are Rebecca (a developmentally disabled young woman) and her friend Roland (an aspiring musician).
An Adept of the Light - basically an angel - crosses into our world to help the protagonists stop a demon from taking over Earth via a portal located in the city. Said angel also happens to take the form of a sexy rockstar and Roland discovers he has some gay feelings about it (describing him as a 'heavy metal wet dream').
(transcript in alt text)
sounds like it could be a young angel!jim to me :D but with a black bandanna instead of red of course.
black boots; tight and faded jeans; a red bandanna knotted just above one knee; three belts, thick with studs surrounding slim waist and hips; one arm circled halfway from wrist to elbow with a jangle of silver bracelets in all sizes; a blinding white T-shirt with the sleeves ripped out sporting a single, tiny button . . . a happy face, white on black.
The point of the young man's chin just missed being delicate and his face missed being pretty by the same small margin. A large silver hoop pierced one ear and his heavy sweep of hair darkened gradually from white blond at the tips to golden blond at the roots. Roland didn't think it was dyed.
Then he smiled and Roland forgot everything he'd just seen in the sweet sensuality of the expression.
You ever get curious about something somebody said and want to send an ask about it but are afraid you'll come off as annoying or defensive or condescending or something so you just sit and stare at the person's blog for a bit before clicking off
transmisogyny and transandrophobia describe, respectively, the intersection of transphobia + misogyny as they tend to affect transfems and transmascs. but exorsexism isnt primarily motivated by misogyny, it describes instead the enforcement of binary sex and gender on nonbinary trans ppl.
so like, as a personal example, my partner recently told me that when they talk about me, often a binary gender is imposed on me regardless of the neutral language they use. this isn't really misogynistic, but it IS exorsexist
a transfem enby may experience transmisogyny on top of exorsexism. a transneutral mtx enby may not directly experience misogyny at all, but would still experience exorsexism. so exorsexism is it's own unique axis distinct from transmisogyny/transandrophobia, in that it is motivated and dictated by a different kind of sex-based oppression, if that makes sense? it isnt "the nonbinary version of", it's its own thing
(this is kinda why i prefer 'exorsexism' to 'enbyphobia' - 'enbyphobia' is like, a vaguely defined hatred of enbies, but exorsexism describes a specific type of sexist behavior and thought)
