I'm intrigued...who is Sick Boy?

SICK BOY!!!!

@le-red-queen I'M BEING ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SICK BOY WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

sick boy is a useless silly little criminal baby boy punk who's addicted to heroin

he's one of the ensemble of the movie trainspotting which i would recommend with a whooole bunch of content warnings if you have triggers or squicks

it's an iconic movie based on an iconic book, about a group of scottish addicts who rail at the nature of the world around them and the hypocrisy of 90s capitalism (ohhh sweet summer children), but also double-cross each other, have anger issues, drag each other down, and fuck up their own lives in various ways -- the score is also a work of art!

sick boy's character in this story is someone who pretends to be generally unaffected by the life they're in, obsessed with james bond, and on the whole the somewhat shallow it-girl of the team, if you will, but there are a lot of strong clues in the first film that suggest that he feels far more than he lets on, and he goes through his own personal tragedy in the movie as well

but yeah he's kind of head-empty bimbo too

in the sequel, x amount of years later, the writing decided to focus more on him and his dynamic with the lead character, renton (played by ewan mcgregor), and where their lives have ended up now they're no longer youths who can push away the accountability for their own lives and the world around them. it leans more heavily on them having a lot of homoerotic tension, and having had A Past in which they were best friends and how becoming addicts gradually pulled them from one another, but maybe they'll find their way back again who knows, which is a little different from the first movie in which the outlook is generally quite bleak (they're both quite bleak, but the first one is by far the more tragedy-based narrative)

all grown up sick boy, still a bimbo

the other two leads of this dynamic are begbie and spud, and they do have large parts to play in both of the stories as well. fun links, begbie is played by richard carlyle who's in plunkett & macleane with JLM and he's been very opening about playing the former of these roles as a closeted gay man... the latter is my own imagination, but i see you mr richard carlyle

but yeah. trainspotting. amazing movie. unfortunately all your brother's edgy friends are into it too, it's kind of one of those "if your boyfriend's favourite films are american psycho, fight club, the matrix, and trainspotting, run" movies, but you know. don't hold that against it 😂

the sequel: a bit self-indulgent, but I'm the person being indulged and it's genuinely fun seeing these actors who've remained close throughout all these years return to some of their career-making roles, and explore a little more of the book lore + look, i read too much into it maybe, but both ewan mcgregor and JLM are recovering alcoholics, and seeing them as middle-aged men playing the parts of recovering addicts, it's... good. i think this movie is good, in a very different way to the first one. renton and sick boy do not make out, but there's a character who says they're definitely in love and ought to fuck, and she's so right for that

in conclusion:

highly recommend it

Choose Life

So, if someone told me two months ago that I'd write almost 30,000 words in 60 days, I would have never believed them. Or that I will be waking up at night with new ideas, jotting them down, then waking up again in the morning and editing them, and this will last for weeks... I don't know what writing bug bit me, but I just can't stop.

So part 1 is done, and I couldn't be prouder of myself even if it's a niche pairing in a small fandom. Or that might be the reason for my writing motivation; having not found the stories I wanted, I decided to write them myself. Small fandoms yay!

"Yer heart is racin' 'cause it widens yer blood vessels," says Sick Boy, who is apparently a drug scientist now. "This drops yer blood pressure, and that's why ye're feelin' the buzz. Also, makes yer muscles relax, makin' everythin' smoother. Perfect fur anal sex."

"Fuck off," says Renton.

Sick Boy is not deterred. "Why?" He says seductively as he leans closer and starts kissing Rentont's neck, giving him goosebumps, "Ah've got lube an' aw. Ah knoo ye want it."

Yeah, but not with this version of you, thinks Renton. "Simon, no," he says instead.

Don't You (Forget About Me)

So I wrote a new chapter. I can't say I finished polishing it, but I had to stop at some point not to go crazy 🙈

Maybe I'm already crazy tho; you tell me

~~~~

As soon as the door closes, Simon's restraint vanishes, and desire, amplified by adrenaline, takes control. He pushes Renton against the door and smashes their lips together, his hands gripping Renton's hips tightly to keep him in place. Renton doesn't try to escape; he's kissing Simon back, and that feels like the missing piece that makes everything else make sense.

However, the intensity is short-lived. Soon after, Renton eases Simon back to gain some space between them.

"Simon," he says, breathing heavily, his pupils so big that his eyes look black. "Whit are ye doin'?"

"Preventive door maintenance," quips Simon, frustrated at the interruption. "Whit does it look like?"

"Ah'm no sure," says Renton earnestly, and the moment is gone.

And the title inspiration is, of course, this song by Simple Minds

My poor boy passed out yesterday at Disney world. He got very very nauseous at the end of a show and got up very quickly thinking he was going to throw up so he got himself away from the crowd. I got to him just in time for him to tell me he was lightheaded and for him to pass out. I caught him luckily and guided him to the ground. He’s sick now with a fever. Not a great way to spend Christmas in Disney world but at least I get to take care of him 🥰
