that would be “all the painted stars” by emma denny

as if the cover wasn’t enough to get my attention the synopsis is:

When Lily Barden discovers her best friend Johanna's hand in marriage is being awarded as the main prize at a tournament, she is determined to stop it. Disguised as a knight, she infiltrates the contest, preparing to fight for Jo's hand. But her conduct ruffles feathers, and when a dangerous incident escalates out of Lily's control, Jo must help her escape. Finding safety with a local brewster, Lily and Jo soon settle into their new freedom, and amongst blackberry bushes and lakeside walks an unexpected relationship blossoms.

But when Jo's past catches up with her and Lily's reckless behaviour threatens their newfound happiness, both women realise that choices must always come at a cost. The question they need to ask is if the cost is worth the price of love...

right? maybe one day we’ll find ourselves invested in a show that pulls us in with quality writing and good acting and all of our very favorite tropes and we’ll be battle-worn and wary and assuming we’re being queerbaited all over again but we’ll roll with it anyway, as we always do, because damn if it isn’t just the push we need to want to create our own content for them, and while the show runs for numerous seasons developing this deeply complicated relationship with obvious romantic undertones that are never properly acknowledged on screen but played up enthusiastically by the actresses at press events the fandom keeps growing and we’ll have gifsets, shitposts, amazing fic and wonderful art, and then just as we think the writing can’t get any more overtly gay we get an actual for real no-holds-barred, completely-unanticipated-by-mainstream-media KISS and it isn’t even the last episode of the last season, and no one dies, and the relationships gets another good two+ seasons to develop further, with milestones and displays of affection all allowed to play out on screen, and none of their stories ever involves a coming out arc or homophobia and they get to ride off into the sunset together in the end

😌😌😌😌😌 thank YOU!

Honestly, it’s probably just Katie’s roots growing out. But in the SG canon of Lena Haver of Dark Hair that Will One Day Fall Out Entirely Luthor, we can just pretend that she’s greying (’: 

Also, being the parental friend is all about the mindset!!! I’ve been mom&pop’d by plenty of people who were younger, but have also dad&granddad’d for people older than I as well!
