So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Damn you wee PMM! I have finished the L&Co books and while the level of resolved-ness is pretty appropriate, really, I am kind of flailing around at how open things are left. Partly because of the not really a framing story but implications that there is a framing story bits that are sprinkled here and there - I always have mixed feelings about those. I even went and looked for fic but there is a fuckload and I can't handle wading into all that.

Hee! I went Show to Books and love them both, sometimes for the same reasons, sometimes for different reasons.

What kind of fic are you looking for, says the person who has been mainlining it since February and might have some actual recs (honestly, it does need more plotty gen, but also, this fandom on April 1 blessed us with 11k of crack-treated-seriously Kipps/Skull that went straight into my Kindle after reading. so it has its charms).

I don’t even know! I would like to know more about Gravedigger Sykes and the early days of The Problem in general, and further romantic progress for all the canonical couples, and how does everyone cope with aging out of their talents and and and etc.

I tell you what, I so appreciate that they stick to ghosts and don’t get all sidetracked into werewolves or vampires or fairies or anything.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Good Omens season 2 drops on July 28! Also Heartstopper season 2 drops August 3! Also — I think — the movie of Red, White, & Royal Blue drops in August on Amazon Prime Video. Basically it's going to be a really queer summer, and I am all for it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't know how queer it will be but the new Wes Anderson movie is coming out this summer and it looks fab. I mean they all look fab, but I'm intrigued by the premise and story too.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Good Omens season 2 drops on July 28!

FINALLY

Also — I think — the movie of Red, White, & Royal Blue drops in August on Amazon Prime Video.

Ted Lasso: I wonder if they will manage to make me care about what's going with Nate at some point

I'm just the opposite: I am SUPER invested in Nate's redemption arc.

And (although it hardly needs to be said): fuck Rupert and his whole Emperor Palpatine schtick.
