until our marrows mix | 13k | JGY/NHS, JGY/NHS/LXC | After Nie Mingjue's death, Jin Guangyao takes Nie Huaisang as a lover because he's so helpless, so hapless and in so much pain.
Huaisang's at least one of those things.

The entire series is based in the real life events of a certain time period in real life hockey.
The death of Duncan Harvey is an obvs reference to the death of enforcer Derek Boogaard, also in 2011.
Reminder for the fandom, RYAN GUZMAN IS HALF WHITE AND HALF MEXICAN. I'd say you could call him just white if he were 1/4 or less Mexican. But he's half and half.
I'd love to call myself Lebanese, but I'm 1/4 and my whiteness is very apparent... Ryan does not look just white.
he’s also the pathetic jerk Louis painted him as. It’s a major part of what makes their relationship in TVL and QotD work.
Can’t help in the Louis being white front. I also think he’s kind of more of an insufferable drip in the books but he has his moments and Lestat into that.
No the books are so funny because IWTV is Louis talking mad shit on Lestat and TVL is Lestat being like “actually I’m the coolest dude in the world & Louis is just a hater who’s also in love with me” but also in the background you can tell that Lestat IS the coolest dude but>
I was in the 8th grade the 1st time I read QotD and I def understood that the book intends for the reader to sympathize w/ Akasha for feminist reasons & then rug pulls you w/ the reality of who she is. Like I got this at 13, cause it’s the text of the book and I could read?
I'm going to mute my post but people replying to/quoting it with things like this are being dense. How are we supposed to not read(a form of)feminist intent/messaging into marketing material using imagery from feminist political movements? That's not projection. It's the material
@SunTaurean I feel so weird because that’s what QotD is about? Like… you are set up to sympathize with Akasha & think her intentions are good and then the rug pull happens and it’s like “nope! She’s doesn’t give a shit about anything but worship and her own aggrandizement! She’s a MONSTER!”
I can not TELL YOU how may little hobbies I have that I’m not actually good at.
I play gay softball despite almost no athletic ability. I play in a gay drumline despite not being very good at playing the drums. I’m a cyclist despite being extremely mediocre!
- buck melted the butter for his scones
- chimney visibly cringed when eating one of his loaves
- didn’t know cream of tartar (a key ingredient in literally every snickerdoodle recipe ever) goes in said cookies
- eddie canonically said “hey these are actually good!”
Related: I’m annoyed that Buck called them macaroons. That’s almost certainly because that’s how Oliver pronounces the word, but it’s not how we pronounce macarons in the US!!!!
Please understand that it took me A DECADE of practicing to be able to make macarons that are this uniform and with proper feet (and look at the cats, they’re still janky af!)
Buck doesn’t have it!!!!
@drh0rrible I’m a home baker and macarons are like my specialty and the baking prowess he’s shown thus far DOES NOT indicate he’s got what it takes to do this. NO WAY!
can someone who watches ice hockey tell me if goalies can give assists because i’ve read quite a few fics were hayes assists shane/ilya and as someone whose knowledge of sports comes majorly from (real, not american) football, i’m just like🤨🤨
Back when I was in hockey rpf fandom, I remember writing a PK Subban spitefic, where he was impossibly sweet.
And it was literally cause he’d gotten in an on-ice tiff w/ Jeff Skinner and hockey fandom had reacted like he’d shot him with a gun.
All of this has happened before.
Theres a canonically homophobic serial rapist in the books (Dallas kent) and yet yall keep making the black characters the sexual predators its extremely weird and antiblack
@topddie And that’s part of Eddie’s closeted nature. He doesn’t think he’s closeted because he obvs wasn’t raised by giant homophobes. The homophobia and pressure put on him to conform to a specific idea of masculinity wasn’t that explicit.
@topddie As a fellow Latina Catholic, I very much see this as like… Ramón likely used the j-slur, not the m-slur when Eddie was growing up. (Which is one of many reasons when I find non-Latinos having them use the f-slur so weird in fics).
Homophobic but in a reflexive way, yk?
