But it’s so much fun to see how he answers! (Besides, I’m not sure there’s much straight in Tim.) ;–)

You could refresh your memory before you respond… ;–)

So the following chapters will explore the aftermath of Hemothracene’s downfall. ;–)

Happy Birthday! Is it true that the National Park Service is selling naming rights to the Arch to McDonalds? I hear they’re going to paint it yellow and build a twin. Gotta monetize those lazy government assets that are just sitting around… ;–)

Jason is infatuated with John. Is it a form of hero-worshiping, or is it more of a lust thing? Jason seems to be much too young for John. ;–) Becky & Jim will not only need housing, but also some form of income. There are usually programs to specifically help pregnant women. Naturally, they need fairly longterm support because even after they have the baby, they can’t go back to work. Childcare is also an issue, especially until they begin to go to school, and after-school for at least a half dozen years or so after that. Having Jason stay with Beccy & Jim will allow Jason to help out with the housekeeping chores, possibly including cooking, cleaning, and laundry (especially important after the baby is born).

I don’t think that Robbie is as demanding as a certain tyrannical Canadian ‘musician’ who is currently in a hospital visiting a British plumber’s assistant that he has been bullying for his own entertainment! ;–)

Or maybe Donnie should consider why his image of the perfect family is a Fifties relic rather than a more contemporary view incorporating diversity and acceptance of differences. ;–)

This is the Empire Strikes Back chapter! Keter is frozen in carbonite. Stravor will need to rescue him from Jabba the Hutt. Wait, I’m getting two stories mixed up! ;–) Not inanimate. The pain lasted only a moment. I am this stone. It doesn’t sound like the Fathril holds a part of Keter’s soul, but something of Keter remains even after the sword passed his soul into Stravor…

Only 200 chapters? @Dodger is already ⅝ of the way there! Will chapter 200 cover Robbie’s Stephenson Collegiate graduation ceremony? ;–)

That was a very interesting conversation between Marilyn and Mark. Very awkward. I’m glad I never experienced anything like that with any of the guys I dated! ;–) I’m curious about where the boys go from here… ;–)

You’re late! ;–)

For some reason. I cannot imagine Robbie reading this (or any other Gay fiction) story. ;–)

Because the US, UK, Canada, and Australia all use a (generally) mutually understandable intelligible language, share reasonably progressive views on LGBTQs, have a large total population, and have the disposable income to support LGBTQ cinema, movies that want to reach the largest possible market need to either be in English or have English subtitles. China and India both have enormous populations, but aren’t as openminded on LGBTQ issues. Russia is very repressive towards LGBTQs. And while French, Spanish. and Arabic are spoken by large percentages of the world’s population, only a small fraction of each would support an LGBTQ movie. I attend Frameline, the annual San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival. Frameline shows movies and documentaries from all over the world. I have watched movies from nearly every part of the globe, but certain regions are better represented than others. And some governments (including the UK, Canada, Australia, and Israel) support LGBTQ filmmakers better than most. Beyond geography, Frameline has presented movies and documentaries that explore nearly every part of the LGBTQ+ spectrums. I have learned about the struggles of the families with Trans children. I found out about Plushies and Furries. I learned about the Letis of the Kingdom of Tonga. Many movies and documentaries have exposed me to aspects of the African-American LGBTQ experience that I would not have otherwise known about. I have learned about the difficulties of being LGBTQ while dealing with a disability. I have seen movies and documentaries exploring the immigrant (documented and otherwise) experience of LGBTQs in many contexts. It’s up to all of us to support LGBTQ+ films, filmmakers, and film festivals. The mainstream movie and TV industries have proven incapable of presenting an accurate image of all our lives. As insiders, only we can create and present our true stories.

I think Donnie is too cheap to go to the Steamworks on Church St. I think Donnie is more of a rest stop cruiser. Donnie probably has a battery-powered drill to make his own glory holes in public toilet stalls. An OD in a toilet stall seems more likely with a Closet Case like Donnie…

;–)

‘Reasonable’ isn’t usually an adjective associated with Robbie. ;–)

With Alex gone, Nathan is the next most dangerous option for Robbie. He seems to need that aspect in his life somewhere. He craves the danger. Even if he doesn’t realize it. ;–)

Later tonight, right? There’s still about 6½ hours left… ;–)

Was Donnie visiting the school that day, way back when Robbie was pushed down the stairs‽

Why do I have the feeling that Robbie will manage to sabotage himself again and lose both Conner and Nathan? Robbie is certainly acting like a typical teenager. Unsure of what or who he really wants and managing to hurt everybody while he’s doing his usual flip-flops. But naturally, that leaves him available for getting back together with Tom as soon as high school ends! Go Team Tom! ;–)

So… tomorrow, right? ;–)

There’s an author who posts on a different site who would have the three men end up in a longterm ménage à trois.

Apple In-Cider was once an Apple II-focused magazine.
