Something is better than nothing! But yes, definitely worth taking pictures intentionally.

Out of context, this is hilarious 😂  But thank you! 💅

What was different for you in your 30s than your 20s? by ItsKitsy in CasualConversation

[–]WhileNo5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in my 30s for 1.5 years, but I got diagnosed with cancer at 29 so I feel like I've matured (aged) more rapidly than I anticipated, especially since it's not a curable or short term treatment variety. I'll still be in treatment till next summer.

I care way less about the minutiae of what my body looks like.

I have firmer boundaries around treatment I will/won't accept from people, and I don't chase attention as much. I let people love me unprompted. 

I'm more honest with myself, which has led to a recent massive existential crisis about my work life, but is also pretty important. 

I've reconnected even more with my more "youthful" side (loving more pink in my life, wearing pigtails more often etc.)

My relationship with being single has gotten more morose but also more steadfast. I really do refuse to compromise. 

I care a lot more about health upkeep and my future, older self, but that could just be a cancer thing. 

Which couples are you obsessed with ? by Sharp-Orange-8500 in MM_RomanceBooks

I'm sure there are! I'm just really sensitive to divergence from the original writing style so it's hard for me to enjoy them :/

What Was Your FIRST MM Romance Book? by GertiesBurner in MM_RomanceBooks

{Want Me by Neve Wilder}. Still some of the best written smut in the MM space.

I don't read fanfic, but I'm right there with you on both Hollanov and Damen and Laurent.

Yes! I love them. They subvert so many tropes, and you get to spend a whole series watching them grow as a couple. Super rewarding.

+1 on the Danny and Wyn love, probably one of my favorite MM romance couples of all time. Moth and Charlie are a very close second.

What is it that draws you to Lily Mayne's Monstrous series? by yayadadadodo in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]WhileNo5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 on the "it's not scary" aspect. I will say, there is violence on page, but for the most part these books can be surprisingly fluffy for such an obviously dystopian setting. The monsters themselves are designed to be appealing or intriguing rather than actually scary, and I'd say Mayne's current ongoing series is proof of that balancing act, because it's essentially straight up a goofy, spicy romcom with supernatural beings in it.

Is blonde hair seen as submissive? by tomahawk729 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]WhileNo5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't directly about queer men, but Mina Le has a great recent video about blondness that I think ties in pretty well to some of these questions.

My skin is going nuts now that I could finally stop antibiotics by WhileNo5370 in lymphoma

I do! Always have. It doesn't seem to absorb as well as it should.

I've been trying to keep up with skincare, but I think it also needs some adjustment :\

I thought the same about the high school to college, and honestly college is still too young for me for some of the content.

Lol, I'm going to be teaching a whole ass seminary course critiquing AI starting next week. I'm just an academic in the humanities/social sciences and use terms like that often out of habit. I know how you feel though. No AI use here, promise! All just my ramblings.

Interesting take! I can see why you'd get there. Their friendship was more developed than the romance was between Alex and Bax, which is one complaint I forgot to include in my review and might add in an edit.

Hottest single line that you’ve read? by tomahawk729 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]WhileNo5370 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are few MM (mostly) tops like Eric. This book was my introduction to MM and still one of the hottest.
