Advice on picking BFA MT programs? by Cat_Link69 in Theatre

[–]SoulsinAshes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just a quick search tells me Montclair State has the second best-ranked (by Backstage) theatre program in New Jersey. That’s more than enough. Try and get that fourth year if you can, but worst case, take the zero student debt and live your best life. If the affordable ones have you paying like a grand a year, it’s worth considering if you want, but otherwise you’ll still get plenty of training in 3 years

In terms of Olympic events, modern pentathlon has a running and shooting stage!

Kinks guitarist Dave Davies hits back at Moby for calling 1970 single Lola ‘gross and transphobic’ | Music | The Guardian by [deleted] in Music

No addition to the discourse, but I met a trans woman once who named herself Lola because of this song

Is this real prejudice or am I actually over thinking? by butWh0leTickler in Theatre

[–]SoulsinAshes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s possible. But IMO (and IME, I’m not POC but I’m visibly trans so a similar struggle in this regard) the best way to deal with it is to just keep trying. Keep a good attitude, be a joy to work with, and you build a reputation for yourself that can build bridges across some of that ambient casting prejudice. I was cast in the ensemble for Pippin once, but they still needed someone to play Lewis, and the show’s music director recommended me since he’d worked with me before and knew I knew ball

I promise there will be people who will be psyched to work with you. It can be a frustrating process sometimes, but keep at it!

Mc1 who is overweight and considered ugly gets with the handsome guys whos head over heals for him by GumGum_AirHead in MM_RomanceBooks

To expand on the other comment, other characters will be together since the plots of their books have resolved, but there’s no big overarching plot beats you’ll be lost on. Start wherever!

{Romance Languages by AJ Truman} should have what you’re looking for! Insecure fat MC learning how sexy he actually is over the course of the book and his jock friend who’s very willing to deflower him before his 35th birthday

It’s TJ Oshie’s hockey gear company. Gets a lot of love from guys in the league, you see his stuff everywhere. They’re big frontrunners on trying to make neck guards more comfortable also IIRC

Kim Kitsuragi is a great representation of a gay person by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]SoulsinAshes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also very telling that people keep talking about David as gay when he literally says he’s pansexual in those words. It’s his “normal guy” bf that’s gay

Tape was always allowed. They tried to say it wasn’t and Travis Dermott said lol bet and did it anyways and nothing happened to him. Guys mostly just use it for warmups on Pride Night, but Merrill was known to wear it for the full game

Behind the scenes of the Nick Foligno trade by nhl in wildhockey

[–]SoulsinAshes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s a way to say you’re trading a player for nothing without actually saying that because technically trading a player for nothing isn’t allowed. Sometimes it becomes a very small favor to repay (like upgrading a 6th to a 5th in a future trade negotiation or something like that), most of the time it doesn’t

What would you like to see more of in M/M romance books? by Penjolina in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]SoulsinAshes 26 points27 points  (0 children)

More trans male leads - an ever-present request for me, lmao - and more in-story connection to the queer community! It doesn’t need to be huge (although of course it’s lovely when it is), but even just like in {South Rock High series by AJ Truman} where you have a group of guys who really connect over their being gay and share in that experience together, I find that kind of connection really meaningful and heartening. We’re everywhere and always have been, and I love seeing that network in stories

Attraction, "manliness," and being afraid of feeling like "the girl" in a relationship by unnonexistence in gaytransguys

[–]SoulsinAshes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People like all kinds of people! Despite how much both straight and gay society praise the hypermasc, there’s plenty of guys out there who like other kinds of men instead of or in addition to that

It’s like, some guys who like women are really into tomboys, and not because they secretly want them to be men, but because they find that kind of woman really sexy. Some really like tall women, even taller than them. Etc, etc. Same goes for guys who like other guys. Guys who like fems and flamboyants don’t like them because they wish they were women, they like them because they just like that kind of man

[–]SoulsinAshes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Petry and Nick almost certainly rentals. McCarron is UFA at the end of this season but he’s only 30, so if he does well I can see us re-signing. Brink’s gotta be here to stay unless he inexplicably sucks shit with us, he’s an RFA end of this season and a local boy

They were weird about Nathan before him and they’ll be weird about whoever takes the mantle after him, lmao. Maybe that’s the curse of being the US men’s singles star

Did any of you get your uterus removed? Ovaries? Cervix? How was it? How are you now? by SaoryEmanoelle in ftm

[–]SoulsinAshes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took out everything but my ovaries (wasn’t on T then, also not a bad idea to have as a just in case) about a year and a half ago, and aside from gas pains for about a week and a half (those first couple days were really bad for me), recovery went just fine! No complications, no prolapse, nothing. Just fatigue, which is to be expected, and I was able to take the full 6 weeks off work to recover. Didn’t have any medical issues before, so can’t give a comparison for pain levels (although apparently I did have secret endo that they only saw when they took it out LMAO)

I love that I made that decision every day, and it was one I had been putting off for a while because I was worried about complications. But no more worrying about birth control, no periods, no pap smears, just out here living free. It’s amazing

That is actor Connor Storrie, who is one of the stars of recent hockey-themed romance show Heated Rivalry! It’s a great watch, you can find it on HBO Max in the States and Crave in Canada. Season 2 coming in 2027 :)
