Robert Pattinson: Patron Saint of Queer Boyhood
How Strange Is It to Be Anything at All
(A poem based on a YouTube comment) ⬇️
Dear fellow Twilight fans,
I am here to let a secret free.
It used to be curled up inside my rib cage, asleep, right next to my heart.
It used to sleep peacefully, it used to ache dully.
But it’s grown fitful.
It can’t quite keep quiet anymore, it growls and thrashes, threatens to travel up my esophagus
and escape from between my two lips.
Oh, fellow members of Team Edward,
my secret heard Britney Spears’ “Criminal,” it saw kitty_twilight_girl💜’s breathtaking edit,
and it fell in love.
Maybe something is wrong with me.
I have no pink diary with a lock and key to confess my blood drained secret to, and certainly no glitter gel pens to get my point across.
No best girl friend to giggle to about how absolutely head over heels I am for tall, pale, and handsome. And certainly no sleepover under the covers with a flashlight to get my point across.
For I am a boy.
A boy with a YouTube account and a terrible secret.
A boy who is in love with Edward Cullen.
A boy who could treat Edward better than that bitch Bella ever could.
A boy who will surely be punished.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination.
But has anyone ever thought to ask…
what about vampirekind?
How strange is it to be a boy who is in love with Edward Cullen, how strange is it to be anything at all.
───
Dear fellow Batman fans,
I am here to make a confession.
A confession to you,
a confession to myself.
I never thought there would ever be a confession more terrifying than the one I had to make to my dad last summer, my dad with his furrowed brow and his meticulously ironed button-up shirts and his shiny silver cross.
I was wrong.
I hit his shiny silver car’s window with a fly ball. The window shattered. I was sure our relationship would follow suit.
Miraculously though, it held together.
Barely.
But oh, fellow members of Dano Nation,
upon hearing Ayesha Erotica’s “Emo Boy,” and seeing danoz.boytoy’s stunning edit,
I have fallen in love.
But unlike danoz.boytoy, I do not want Bruce Wayne to “dick me down.”
(Their words, not mine.)
I want to brood, I want to punch, I want to smear my eyelids with black liquid anger.
But I cannot.
For I am a girl.
A girl with a TikTok account and a terrible secret.
A girl who would make a better Batman than that bitch Robert Pattinson ever could.
Something is definitely wrong with me, and I will surely be punished.
I had to pay for the broken window, but there is no amount of money that could buy my father’s understanding. I mean, how could anyone possibly understand that
I
am
Batman.
How strange is it to be girl who is Batman, how strange is it to be anything at all.

It will also be available upon release signed from Bookshop Santa Cruz. yves. will also have a local event at 6:30 PM on October 12th at the Santa Cruz Diversity Center and another on January 4th 2024 (to be announced) at Bookshop Santa Cruz.
(my sixth favorite story is koschei, btw. shoutout to koschei. sorry i left you off the slides)
(slides described under the cut)
all slides are written in white comic sans on a black background.
slide one: text reading "FIVE reasons YOU should read" over a cropped image of the cover for Something's Not Right, featuring the title. smaller comic sans next to the image reads "by yves."
slide two: at the center of the slide, text reads "1. IT'S GAY!" smaller text boxes, scattered around the slide, read:
so many transgender people
you want fluff? we got fluff. you want angst? we got angst. you want high octane drama? we got it
you like metaphors for queerness? we’ve got metaphors for queerness
some characters’ identities are plot relevant! some of them just happen to be trans!
there’s even an m/f couple i actually like!
there’s literally a lesbian robot what else am i supposed to say
first book where i ever saw a they/them lesbian referred to as a woman and they at the same time <3 <3 <3
you want monsterfucking? we got—
between the first and third boxes is this image of feathers. beneath the monsterfucking box is this image of a halo/eclipse. beneath the they/them lesbian box is the anakin image from this post, reading, "dyke business. go back to your drinks"
slide three: the top of the slide reads "2. CLEVER USE OF TROPES AND TALES." the bullet points beneath read:
the author was a lit major & lovingly: it shows
fresh takes on everything from sexy vampires to demigod/human romance
do you like russian folklore? do you wish it was set in your high school
hansel and gretel story followed immediately by wlw fairies
STORY WHERE VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN GOES TO A PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE
an arrow points from the sexy vampire bullet to an image of edward cullen, captioned "this guy isn't in there." another points from the frankenstein bullet to a picture of the book Frankenstein, captioned "this guy is, tho"
slide four: at the center of the slide, text reads "3. DELIGHTFUL NARRATIVE VOICE." smaller text boxes read "the sheer range of the range of character narrations in this book is impressive and so fun" and "we got teen talk we got litfic prose we got monsters narrating we got ordinary people." there are also three quotes from various stories, set in speech bubbles:
“Everyone’s cousin Tanya says she’s done it with an elf dude. That doesn’t mean shit.”
“And all of these things were true, and simultaneous, and all of them were occurring only a moment before she might be killed, and rise again.”
“At first, the plants seemed quite innocuous, and Ephraim watched them pile up on the windows of the little greenhouse with mild curiosity.”
there is also an edited image of the "she doesn't have the range" meme, reading, "they have the range."
slide five: the top of the slide reads "4. DON’T LIKE ONE-OFFS? NO PROBLEM!" the bullet points beneath read:
do you prefer your short stories unrelated to each other? completely tonally variant?
SNR has got that!
do you prefer your short stories interconnected? do you like recurring characters? do you want to see… characters from OTHER yves. projects?
SNR has got that too!
smaller text boxes read "Red and Eliza from Forest Castles are there!" and "maybe avner too. i'm not allowed to say"
there is also a picture of hannah montana's "best of both worlds" album.
slide six: the top of the slide reads "5. THERE ARE NEW STORIES IN IT!" the bullet points beneath read:
already an SNR fan? already have a copy? you haven’t yet read the new content!
THREE new stories
what if the alien abductee you were interviewing had questions… for you?
what if you had to love-potion your crush… for someone else?
what if you had to come out to your date… AS A MONSTER?
there are clipart images on the side of an alien spaceship, a bubbling potion, and a lit candle.
slide seven: word art with a glowing green shadow reads "max's favorite stories :)". each story blurb goes with a corresponding image:
Six Hours Under: the woman on the L train is crying, dead, and very very pretty. [clipart of a train]
Monsters and The Guy: there’s a guy in Arrivals. he’s being weird about it. [clipart of an airport]
The Hands and The Mouth: the story-speakers speak only in script. there are only a few of them left. [clipart of rolling waves]
Don't Feel Guilty: a teen’s plant collection starts to unnerve their father. [clipart of a leaf]
Blood Orange Tea: getting trapped at work with your crush is awkward even when you’re not a vampire. [clipart of iced tea]
slide eight: large text reads "THANK YOU. GO FORTH AND BUY SNR." in smaller text is the information paragraph from this post.

Family
Summary: Esme Cullen/ftm!Reader; where reader is a wolf shifter (like jacob) and Bella takes him to meet the Cullens
You were dreading having to pick out a college to go to; while your mother had been happy for you to stay with her; you were growing increasingly annoyed with how everyone in arizona was treating you; how everyone seemed to know you as Rennee’s oldest daughter; all grown up. You grimace; that wasn’t you anymore.
You’d transitioned in high school and pretty much everyone seemed to understand you were transgender but they wouldn’t bother using any of pronouns you were using. Which meant you were trying to avoid being anywhere close to home when you went to college.
Bella had said everything would be fine if you moved in with her and your dad. You hadn’t told them what had been going on and you figured having been at college for the past few years meant that neither of them really knew you.
You hadn’t expected to have become a werewolf shifter; but apparently there was an affinity for the supernatural in your family's genes if when Bella greets you her eyes being bright orange mean anything.
“So uh; that looks new..” You gesture to her eyes and she nods
“It’s a long story..”
“Oh; uh okay so you like died?? And had a kid??? I’m an uncle???”
“Yeah I know it’s a lot to take in but at least I mean your life has been; normal. Right? Please say it has..” Bella laughs a little and you pull over the hot chocolate your dad had made.
“Yes; but the Cullens; my husband's family; they’re nice.”
“Nice? Considering they’re vampires; yeah that makes sense… Sorry it’s just a little much to take in right now.”
Bella lets you cool off for a few days. It feels both far too long nad not long enough because she’s already talking about having a dinner so you can meet your brother in law, niece and then all of his family; even if none of the others are actually related.
She explains that there’s no way for you to be turned; unless you’d be willing to fake your death in a few years and then watch as your mom and dad passed before your eyes. You wonder if Bella regrets it; or if she’s so happy with her new life she’d leave her family; including you behind.
You don’t dwell too long on it; you’re not given the option as she drags you into the forest excitedly describing all of the Cullens and their various powers and pretty much there entire background and life stories. You try not to comment that she could fill at least four books with what she’s told you. You know she chatters when she gets nervous; and you wonder just how big of a deal it is that you get to meet her new family; and be part of her new life something even your dad didn’t get.
When you meet the Cullen’s you understand why. Esme Cullen is beautiful; and she won’t stop staring at you and smiling.
“Carlisle and I are very happy; but we could be; happier..” She seems upset by something nad you wonder if Bella left out her ability to hypnotize when she was talking about her.
“Can I help?” You find yourself asking and she nods; you know you blush; you wonder if she can hear your heartbeat.
You knew that Esme didn’t know you were trans; or at least you assumed she knew; but for her to invite you to stay over; when Bella and Edward were going somewhere else; made you flush; and think that she had to know something. The way she’s smiling is making you blush and the nerves in your stomach flip over.
