@contradictivs: [ swap ] — our muses swap cum with their mouths

they’ve always been messy, whether it was a deliberate choice or the aftermath of a lot of impulsive moves. they could never keep off each other, unable to stop the mess that comes out of it when the inevitably fall to pieces, and considering how long kurt had been separated from his husband it’s no surprise that he’s making the most of it. he’s not sure how long they’d been going at it, fucking and overstimulating each other for hours, but both of them are a mess, covered in sweat and cum, licking and kissing any bit of bare skin they could find. the soft moans and whines they both let out only pushed them to touch each other more, to get more lost in each other, do more exploring with their mouths. there’s no surprise that it quickly led to sucking each other off, getting lost in the taste of each other. it’s something that doesn’t stop when they cum either, overstimulated bodies still pressed close as mouths find each other, still seeking out every piece of each other that they could reach. kurt may be overstimulated, but still he manages to grind against ryder’s thigh, moaning and whining into the kiss. he’s not sure who’s cum he can taste, but either way it drives him crazy, makes him work hard to deepen the kiss as much as he possibly can, taste as much of it as possible.

[newyorktheater]

Bob Dylan, Glenn Close, Daniel Radcliffe, and Gloria Steinem are all on a New York stage one way or another in October, always a good month for theater.

This year’s October is likely the busiest ever, thanks to the addition of the hundred shows in the New York International Fringe Festival, which for the first time has been moved from August to October.

Three shows are opening on Broadway in October: Elaine May returns to Broadway in a star-studded revival of Kenneth Lonergan’s “The Waverly Gallery”; Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale star in “Lifespan of a Fact,” a true story that starts with one of our society’s unheralded heroes – a fact checker. Jez Butterworth’s “The Ferryman” is one of the several plays that month about a stranger who visits…and turns everything upside down.

Off-Broadway’s promising shows include a re-imagined “Oklahoma”; an evening of Beckett performed by Bill Irwin; and a new Bob Dylan musical with a book by Conor McPherson. Glenn Close stars as Joan of Arc’s mother. Christine Lahti portrays Gloria Steinem.

Off-Off Broadway, filmmaker Todd Solondz makes his theatrical debut, and two plays by Samuel D. Hunter are joined together into a dinner theater, New York style.

Below is a selection of openings in October, organized chronologically by opening date. Each title is linked to a relevant website. Color key: Broadway: Red. Off Broadway: Black or Blue. Off Off Broadway: Green. Theater festival: Orange

@contradictivs / cont:

Jesus. Ryder thought that he had heard the worst of what Kurt had to go through when he lived with his parents. There was a reason that they had cut contact as soon as they possibly could once the pair had settled into married life. It helped that the Dunbar family was there to support them when they needed it. But, god, the rage that he felt with every new piece of information that he got about how the Hortons treated Kurt. “Are you okay?” Obviously not. But it was an attempt to test the waters on how Kurt was feeling. If he was going down a rabbit hole of memories of what he had gone through. There was a small pause. “Do you want to talk about it?”

It would happen sometimes, little things that would set off a slew of bad memories. Plenty of things Ryder wasn't quite aware of, things no parent should ever do to a child. First instinct is to shrug, to say hes fine and brush it off. All these years later and his instincts try to tell him to ignore the pain, that none of it matters, that hes being dramatic. But the look in Ryder's eyes, the concern, tells him that maybe that's not the best idea right now. Things are only just starting to work out between them again, the time spent with his parents only making everything harder. Reliving the past was hard enough on its own, but recent exposure to his parents behavior had made it extra difficult. His leg bounces, the blonde filled with a weird energy he cant explain. The memories make him feel like he needs to do something, still facing the trauma response of feeling the need to escape, to get away, to keep it bottled inside and run as far away from it as possible.

He chews on his own knuckles a moment, staring into space as he thinks it all through, partially zoned out, partially just trying to avoid eye contact. Seeing Ryders face would make him cry, he knows it. “It was bad.” Carefully chosen words, leg still bouncing with anxiety, as if the wrong move here was deadly. “I didn't wanna look weak. He would've been worse if i picked one of the other options, y'know? 'Cause—” He struggles to remain composed even without the eye contact, the anxiety of actually speaking about it flooding through him. “A Horton shouldn't be— shouldn't be weak, y'know? Y'pick the easy option and he does it twice as hard or—or way more times. Learned that the hard way, but he always said thats how life is. Y'gotta make good choices or you— you suffer.”

@contradictivs: "do you need me to come home?"

he resists the urge to beg. there’s nothing kurt wants more than for ryder to come back, for them to be what they used to be. but he knows that’s not what ryder’s asking. he’s not asking if kurt needs him back permanently — the answer to that is obvious, but needing him back doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing. his hands are shaking as he tries his best to suppress the urge to get a drink, knows that things with ryder will only get worse if he doesn’t stay clean. “would you come if i said yes?” voice is pitiful even through the phone, both of them well aware of the lows he’s experiencing. “would you stay? or would i wake up alone again?”
