"This collection is as uncategorizable as the forms of queer evil that haunt it. Apocrypha for teen pop stars, meet cutes for phantoms-next-door, desires that once uttered, reshape the world. The voice of this book will never leave you.” — @danielallencox …ntmakemedosomethingwellbothregret.com

@_case1999 Whatttttt no not cool fuck

Still doesn’t feel real. I feel truly numb. He gave me some of the best years of friendship I’ve ever had. He would just call me, and we’d spend the whole night on the phone. He’d text my mom, because he suffered the loss of his. My brother started crying last night, because Tiggz knew him since he was 3. We shared secrets. We cried. We were there for each other in the worst and in the best of times. He was always himself. What you saw is what you got. And what we had was a beautiful human with an incomparable zest for life, and an immeasurable form of love for those he held dear.

@SoapDigest This is an illustrative example of why this convoluted plotty spy shit compromises more compelling character driven storytelling and drama. Does Lulu get her best friend back on a technicality ?? Does the conflict between them even *mean* anything now ?

General Hospital unloaded a storyline shocker with the reveal that 'Nathan West' is actually Cassius Faison! Here's everything we know. #GH soapoperadigest.com/content/genera…

@EmmittTheeBeast @TheBinMasterPt2 Rumors of throwing a chair at Sandra Ferguson during his first stint when he played Sam

@TheBinMasterPt2 Was he bad over at Another World?

Y’all learn about this every year lol yes Robert Keller Kelly was allegedly a jackass on set at all the shows he was at. And the creep is still married to Miriam Parrish who played Sami’s BFF, Jamie #DAYS

@TheBinMasterPt2 I got kicked out of an Another World fan group on Facebook (and disinvited from / had my ticket payment returned for a reunion luncheon that group organized with cast members) for refusing to shut up about this

Just noticed something #BeyondTheGates

@lisarinna__ The two kinds of gays: Those who want a housewife Those who want BILLIE REED instagram.com/reel/DUja0EuiJ…

@teresacarol70 How do you destroy a character that was already that obnoxious

Honest question why are they so hellbent on destroying Chases character and making everybody despise him? #GH

We’re also facing a care crisis in this country, which this storyline already seems to be addressing. I can’t imagine @MicheleValJean not taking that issue seriously, I am no longer getting secret villain vibes from this character. I hope I’m right.

As the partner of a male caregiver to a mom with Parkinson’s, I hope Grayson isn’t lying. Positive representations of men caring for mothers are nonexistent, but there is a long history of villainous ones. Let Greg Vaughan’s character be the plasma broker. #BeyondTheGates

@AlanSarapa I already kind of want Lynette to stick around (or somehow recur in the future) more than Hayley (who I do enjoy watching , this isn’t me being critical of the character or of Marquita

I did say that the only way I could see Hayley sticking around is by having a kid with a character that matters, but I really think they should just do death or prison for her. Let one villain have a big downfall. #BeyondTheGates

@AlanSarapa I’ve actually always been kind of surprised by his longevity. Back in the day I was a Buffy / Angel fan who thought he was one of the weaker performers on both shows. He works well tho when that slight stiffness and covert doofiness he has is played for light comedy.

David Boreanaz is never unemployed for long. Though this might end up being his last primetime lead role given he's pushing 60 so the offers after this role will be different.

it doesn't matter how sexy that man is, in the back of my mind, I'm still like.... But he spells his name KIAL. #BeyondTheGates

@MarkHToo @hudsonwupdates @macleans The “hit” part of that seems like the newest part. Gay media was already overwhelmingly dominated by rom coms for decades.

@hudsonwupdates @macleans I will note that ALL the newer breakthrough mainstream mlm hits are anti-dystopian: Love, Victor; RWRB; Young Royals, Heartstopper, Heated Rivalry. In each case there are obstacles to navigate, of course, but the trajectory is toward happiness and acceptance, and that brings joy.

.@macleans: ‘Heated Rivalry’ Is Anti-Dystopia Art “‘Heated Rivalry’ offers a cinematic universe that references our own, but casts an alternate vision of a world that’s possible — a world of pleasure, mutuality, humanness, intimacy, creativity and joy. (…) It has broken through the onslaught of pop culture visions that make dystopia’s cynical, joyless futures seem inexorable precisely because it is a piece of art that not only shows us, but allows us to feel that another world is truly possible. That lets us somatically experience a future beyond what exists now, a future we all actually want. Joy in the present makes joy in the future seem plausible. And that, too, is hope.” 🔗 macleans.ca/culture/heated…

What if, instead of reintroducing the Avants to #BoldandtheBeautiful, which I am unlikely to ever watch... what if instead, Michelle brought Maya on to #BeyondTheGates played by MJ Rodriguez, and they can have fun w/ her being an old friend of Dani from modeling days.

#BeyondTheGates is a strong and relatively sophisticated show, so why is the sexual innuendo so corny lol

I came here to read angry tweets about PLP showing up as an apparition today, but I couldn’t find any lololol. #gh

slowly and repeatedly

This 'raspberry sorbet' conversation is like getting slowly poked by a bundle of needles #beyondthegates #BTG

@SoapDigest So tony gets a real tribute when he’s already left and died onscreen, but Stuart Damon who did just as much and arguably far more for his fellow cast and crew got a dinky little placard at the end of the episode when he passed IRL. Got it.

General Hospital is planning to air a special episode on New Year's Day to honor the late Anthony Geary, who played Luke Spencer for decades. #GH soapoperadigest.com/content/genera…
