,21 • this post is finally going up! so I have been spending my time studying (ik I’m saying this for the 855724th bare w me) but I took some tests and I’m doing really good so yay for that! I just feel like I have been living the same day over and over and as much as I like to sticking to a routine and just doing my thing it does gets boring sometimes ;-; am I the only one feeling like it?

The Bard at the Jumping Ogre
I try not to tag the taglist on weekends, but if you need something silly as a Saturday night read, here you go!
Synopsis: Ambrose and Dawn listen to a bard at the tavern- and his song is about someone very familiar.
Word Count: 1,443
TW/CW: alcohol mention, blood mention
The Jumping Ogre tavern had one problem and one problem only.
It wasn’t the adventurer brawls. Those were at best free entertainment, at worst a nuisance. Easily cleared up with a repair wand and a healing potion.
It wasn’t the food or the drink, either. Both were edible, even delicious, if one didn’t inspect any of it too closely.
No, no—the problem with the Jumping Ogre was that the owner was tone-deaf.
So today is a day to celebrate some of our favorite writers, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite fics and their author’s!! This will probably mostly be Nursey/Dex, but there will probably be a few other ships thrown in :)
@jayzimmboni- Emily writes such amazing fic??? Like I can’t even deal. This fic about Dex and Nursey sneaking into a competing team’s practice and this “lick the object” one are just two of my favorites (honestly I love everything it’s hard to pick). Check out Emily’s writing tag andAO3.
@chillwhiskey- the literal, actual, Queen of nurseydex, no if’s ands or buts about it. Like… Marissa is what I aspire to be honestly. There’s one fic about Nursey and Lardo getting high that I love, and also this one with Dex actually being confident in his sexuality and Nursey being the one is freak out is great too. Check out Marissa’s writing tag.
@holsterr- okay, if you want to read the most beautiful nurseydex fic to ever grace this fandom, for the love of God, please read Cocotte’s fic tending a fire. Life changing, I swear. Check out Cocotte’s AO3 andwriting tag.
@unchillnursey - okay like, Feliks has the best headcanons about Dex and Nursey, all day every day, but I BURN every time I read this fake dating Holsom fic. It’s pure fluff and I still start blushing idk what to even tell you guys. Check out Feliks’ creations (art!!/fic!!!/etc!!!) andAO3.
@benjji2795- TOOLS AND BEARDS, TOOLS AND BEARDS, TOOLS AND BEARDS!!!! Okay no but seriously, one night about 4 months ago I was like… hmmm I kinda like the idea of Nursey and Dex? Let me just mosey on over to the tag. And then I read every single one of Benjji’s fics. In one night. The above screamed about Tools and Beards is a Classic ™ . Check out Benjji’s writing tagandAO3.
@acountrygirlsfun- just… Caitlin is one of my favorite people on this website. Like legit, she is just a fabulous person. I LOVE her fic Summer & Snapchat. Read it, you won’t regret it. Check out Caitlin’s writing tagandAO3.
@petals42- like Caitlin, I already knew Petals from teen wolf, but Petals’ omgcp writing is SO GOOD LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Holsom Keep It series as well as Ice Crew AU are my favorite fics to read over and over again. Check out Petals’ AO3andwriting tag.
There are so many talented writers in this fandom, and I don’t have the time to do the above for everyone, but I am going to list as many as I can think of here. You all are fabulous, I enjoy your work immensely, and I hope you know you are appreciated!
Rare photos from trans history: Olympic runner and Zdeněk Koubek styles Cinda Glenn’s hair, 1936. Koubek was one of the first trans men to gain international fame after he transitioned in 1935.
this is inspiring weirdly complex emotions in me. like, it’s the fucking 1930s. I can hear the mid-atlantic newsreel voice. the fact that it plays coy with why he knows so much about women’s hairstyles, but like, as a funny surprise, not as shock and horror. the fact that it never deadnames him or uses incorrect pronouns. the fact that he looks like Mickey Rooney. idk it’s just making me feel feelings.
