#{thanks!!}

is it because hes kind and sweet and ‘vulnerable’? because then youre just stereotyping gay men AND any women. being compassionate and crying “a lot” doesn’t make you any more ‘womanly’

is it because of his style?????? because idk about yall but nothing about Will’s outfits read as fem to me. at all. also, ‘bright’ and ‘colorful’ outfits does not equivalent to being fem

bro is it because of his figure? i shouldnt even need to say how that would be stereotypical…

idk i just keep seeing people call will ‘canonically more fem in the show’ and got a little mad. if anyone has like. proof. please comment because the ‘proof’ ive seen is majorly based on stereotyping women and gay men

yeah! ladybird jones, wilma wilcott, yvette carmichael, and sweet georgia brown are all black-american. wilma comes from a long multiracial mixed race people on her father’s side and georgia has indigenous american ancestry.

rochelle pawan is trinadadian, cosette haile is eritrean, and charlotte adeyemi is nigerian

sage de vera is afro-filipina and amaretta walsh is 3/4 black british, 1/4 scottish.

HAPPY PUMPKIN DAY BUD 🎃🎃🎃

Ok so it was actually really hard to find something i haven’t shown you yet 😂 but I think I found a few:

Trick: mockup of a potential mountain cryptid/demon (from the Plane Crash AU). Trying to figure out what wild mountain demons or monsters would look like. (This felt appropriate for spooky day. Eyes in a silhouette get me every time 👀)

ooohh, i haven't thought about it a lot tbh but i have wondered.

and you know, i actually have been marinating in thoughts about shane and baths but. this is different—ANYWAY.

so, between the two of them, ilya is the one who tends to initiate sex when he's emotionally raw and vulnerable, not shane. so i believe that shane would be too overwhelmed for sex, sort of still replaying the whole time spent at his parents’ in his head, and it's hard to get out of that loop.

and i think while by the end, it went as good as it possibly could’ve, he’s still left with lingering anxiety and stress.

so ilya grabs him a ginger ale, tells him to sit and wait while he Does Stuff, and shane quirks an eyebrow at him but doesn't question it. ilya comes back about 15 minutes later, grabs shanes’s hands and walks backwards, leading them to the bathroom where he's filled the huge tub with water, poured some nice smelling bath salts into it, lit some candles and put on shane’s ridiculous techno mix (that one that “soothes” him) low in the background.

shane looks at the tub warily and admits he’s never actually used it before. ilya is like, what. hollander. is huge ass tub, why did u put it in if u don't use it??? and shane ducks his head, shrugs and says, well every nice bath I've seen has had a bathtub, so. and ilya is so stupidly charmed again and hit with such a wave of affection again, that he kisses his cheek.

and then says, well, im getting another one of your firsts, then.

shane shoves him, but he's smiling.

and they do end up in the bathtub, with shane between ilya’s legs, leaning against his chest, while ilya runs his hands softly over his chest and arms, pressing gentle kisses to his hair, his neck, his temples, and it's all kind of slow and languid and unknots shane’s brain enough that he finally finally relaxes against ilya, eyes fluttering closed.

unwinds enough that he stops thinking about his parents and focuses on ilya’s hands on him, and he’s only a guy, okay, and his boyfriend is wet and soaking and strong at his back and he’s touching him so reverently, and shane gets hard.

and ilya sets on getting him off, except the thought of blowing his load in the bathwater and then sitting in it makes shane so squirmy that they get out and stumble to the bed.

shane comes all over himself and when ilya rubs his come into his skin after, he raises an eyebrow and says, coming in water is gross but this is okay?

I love your art, and i think your really cool ✌️

Have a GREAT day/night :D
