it's so hardcover –> we're so paperback

apple bottom jeans — this is a reference to the apple that was eaten from the forbidden tree of Eden

boots with the fur — this references the way Adam and Eve had to clothe their nakedness once they had eaten from the Tree

the whole club was lookin’ at her — traditionally it is Eve’s fault for succumbing to the temptation, and most scholars blame her and future women for original sin

she hit the floor — this is a reference to the snake, who was cursed to crawl in the dust

next thing you know — the Lord immediately responded to kick them out of the Garden of Eden

shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low — this represents the way humanity fell from grace and gave in to temptation, and was repelled from the garden

well, anywaaaay….

outside of the obvious reasons why the hollanov relationship reveal must be crazy to shane’s parents, it’s gotta be wild to them that their shy, awkward kid is dating the league slut. their kid, who cannot even say the word “sex” without blushing, has been fucking a man whose sexual reputation is a topic of conversation. for a decade. they are in fact on a sexcation together. if you want to see them, you need to text them that you’re on your way there, because even if they know you’re coming in advance, they cannot keep their hands off of each other long enough to properly keep track of time. david hollander sees things start to heat up between them and knows instantly that they have probably fucked against every window in that extremely glass house.

idk i’m obsessed with how shane bringing ilya home is not just him coming out as gay, it’s him coming out as an experienced sex freak.

Knights are often secretly fond of each other

Tip jar

Knight and heart that desires

“--The knight was soon laid bare, clothes all discarded save for his red belt and scabbard. Honeyed milk flowed from his water skin freely over his curls only leaving behind silky pearls that traveled their way down his body to the mud below. He threw the empty leather skin where most of the milk was already resting and stretched his arms open to his sides as if in taunt and mockery. For what sort of a man would leave his beloved to wait for almost thirty summers?”

Excerpts from my webcomic Fairydoll

I love this trend and couldn't resist doing it with hollanov 😔

i NEED someone to talk to about The Thing I Enjoy <- says the person who shuts down and says nothing when they get the chance to talk about The Thing They Enjoy

i love you green. i love you forests. i love you smell of damp earth. i love you feeling before the storm breaks. i love you moss. i love you rivers. i love you streams. i love you thunderstorms. i love you sunlight shining through leaves.

ilya destroying that plate of spaghetti right before this sweet moment is so fucking funny to me. especially since the actor was actually eating the spaghetti
