Adam's reaction was based in part because he really loved Jeff Hayes, and he thought the way he got used and thrown away by JP was pretty callous. Of course if you have ever followed Adam's stories and his postings when he had an active discussion group, if he tells a person he loves them, it's not something Adam takes lightly and he'll try to hold on to that relationship as much as possible. You'll also see that Adam has a thing for jocks, particularly football players. Lol

Well, JP wasn't called an Academic Predator for nothing.

Okay, here's a re-do of the Will list: the Will Playlist "A Place for My Head" by Linkin Park "Wild One" by Faith Hill "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS (Can we get a scene where JJ sings this to Brad and Will and everything gets squirmy?) "Eve of Destruction" of Barry McGuire "Milkshake" by Kelis "Two Lovers" by Mary Wells "The Wanderer" by Dion "It Never Rains in Southern California" by Albert Hammond "Til I Collapse" by Eminem "Time To Pretend" by MGMT "Wounded" by Third Eye Blind "My Prerogative" by Britney Spears "Night Moves" by Bob Seger "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger "Pass That Dutch" by Missy Elliot "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch "Piece of Me" by Britney Spears "Last Great American Dynasty" by Taylor Swift "With Or Without You" by U2 "Delicate" by Taylor Swift

I got rimmed once when I was about 21 years old and getting cruised by a nice old Italian dude. It wasn't a bad sensation but I never tried that one again. One time when I was 19 I hooked up with a guy that was about my current age (but lied and pretended he was just 30) and while I was blowing him he tried to get me to rim him, but I woudn't do it. Then my gag reflex kicked in. LOL (Why can I easily see that happening to JJ? LOL) If you ever read Sebastian Wallace's gay erotic stores there was a BIG emphasis on "pungent" smells so you knew the dude was into it.

Sure, but at the same time Will manages to bring everybody together in a way that Brad can't.

Brad just isn't that guy. He's too self-absorbed to be the "family glue" type. It's kind of why I was glad you decided to not give Brad anymore kids- after the shitshow with Will, I don't think Brad could handle going through fatherhood again. In all honesty, I'm not sure I could see JJ actually gaining real entrance to the elite old school money New York City crowd. The Olsens feel like a realistic friend group for JJ- cool and classy but still new money.

Sex as a healing moment between two grieving people has been a pretty big constant in this series.

For our favorite messed up father/son relationship Brad and Will... "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS

So this was the chapter that got me involved with Chronicles of a Academic Predator. I am from Delaware, and I noticed the line in the previous chapter about the characters going to Delaware, and then I remembered that they would have been going just right after the Ash Wednesday storm. I emailed Mark about it, and here we are 15 years later. LOL Been a blast, Mark. Another fun bit is that Rehoboth Beach has had a long LGBT history behind it, which made this a pretty neat location for Mark to have picked.

I feel like this thread has become about just posting pictures of hot guys. With Mark I've already requested Jacob Elordi, Corey Mylchreeest, and now Gabriel Basso. lol

He's too swarthy. Very sexy dude, though.

David Corenswet for Brad/Will? He's got the right kind of swimmer's build. He's one of Ryan Murphy's pretty boys and is currently rumored to be getting cast for Superman. I could also see Lou.

Jimmy G is the official Carullo fancast. Please enjoy that image when you read Carullo happy ending scenes.

That could work. He's the one who discovered that Lark/Scott Slater was his dad, right? I could be wrong, but didn't Ryan discover that Jeff was his half-brother through Charlotte Grafton who gave him up for adoption before marrying Ryan's racist dad? I always pictured Charlotte as being Kristen Chenoweth.

It does. At the end of the day, I can be happy for my dad that he found a better life and lived the way he wanted to live. I also can let go of any fear/hope that existed at the back of my mind that he might try to make contact. I no longer need to wonder about him, and I know that he died a peaceful death.

The eyes aren't quite right (his eyes look green), but otherwise Matthew Noszka nails that loveable Himbo vibe that Matt Carrswold has. He could also work as one of the many blond jocks that populate CAP world.

Wow, it's been a long time. I am six months into being 37 years old now- can you believe it? I loved my early 30's, the mid-30's were consumed by the Covid Pandemic, and so far my late 30's have been an interesting ride. Actually, it's been a long and difficult year for me. For pretty much all of my 30's I've been in a holding pattern- living with my mom at her house, helping her with bills, and working in a movie theater. Even the Covid pandemic didn't really change that much for me, save for some extra money that allowed me to put a down payment on a 2-year old economy car after driving an awful 2006 beater for 6 years. As soon as the COVID lockdowns ended I went right back into working at a movie theater. My mom got sick in October, and since then she's been in and out of the hospital as she deals with liver failure. (Not even an alcoholic- go figure! We think it's because of her Aspirin usage. And probably just being 76 years old.) One of my sisters has been having my mom stay at her home about 30 minutes south of her home, as she's a nurse and can look over her better than I can. It's been a really difficult, horrible situation to go through. In March, my mom has been generally stabilizing with some decent medication, but then we got hit with some shocking news- my estranged father I haven't spoken to or seen since 1995 passed away at his home in the American South at the age of 70 from lung cancer. He was a chain smoker, so it wasn't a shocker, but it was shocking to learn that he had kept a Christmas card my sister (the nurse one) had sent him around 2015 or 2016. That is apparently how the sheriff knew to notify us. Funny enough, when the sheriff came to my sister's house, my mom thought it might be about me and I got inundated with worried phone calls from her. My dad was an abusive drunk who I hadn't seen since I was 9 years old. Apparently he managed to get it together enough to live an out and proud life as a gay man in a Southern resort area town and went on to a pretty decent life. My sister (the nurse one) has been acting as the executor of his estate. He wasn't rich, but he did have a house and some retirement accounts. Since he didn't leave a will, everything's being taken care of in probate, which is going to be an interesting waiting period. My dad and my mother were never technically divorced, and by the law of the state he died in, that means he was married, so that also throws a wrinkle into everything. His house is already up for sale, and the estate sale people pretty much cleared out his house and it's like he was never lived there. My dad was cremated, and his ashes were interred in a vault at a Veteran's cemetery near us. We did the whole big family reunion and wake for him, and it was an interesting experience. I saw relatives I haven't seen since about 1993. Pretty mixed feelings about all this but I think the best way to describe it is that I feel relief. I don't have to wonder if there's going to be some day that I can talk to my dad again, and confront him about what he did, and possibly even try to salvage some kind of relationship with him. I know he's gone, and he's taken all his secrets and motivations with him, and I can let go of my anger at how he treated me as a child. It makes me sad that I have so few positive memories of my father but what I can remember is that he was a prankster who loved travel and cooking, and he kept those passions into the end of his life. Finally, my dad was able to go out peacefully in his sleep after living a pretty solid, if quiet life on a nice sunny street in the American South. As for me, I kind of just feel like I'm at the end of something. Maybe it's just hitting my late 30's, but I know things are changing again, and I'm not sure to what. I like to think I'll handle it well, no matter what happens.

RIP

I don't actually picture him as a CAP character, but posting him here because there's something I find really hot about Gabriel Basso from the Night Agent. Lol

We're currently at the year of gay marriage in Massachusetts, the "I Am A Gay American" Jim McGreevy gay sex scandal, the Swiftboat Veterans for truth, and the Indian Ocean Tsunami. I was 18 in 2004 so it's a very vivid year for me.

Manu Rios from Elite as Alejandro in Bloodlines:

I had an entire 2001 through 2006 JJ figure skating career timeline worked out with Daisy, a former figure skater. She was pretty awesome to work with. We loosely modeled it on Evan Lysacek, who was similar in having a "late" start to figure skating for someone that reached elite levels. We worked together for 4 years- it was pretty fun.

This hasn't been the best time for JJ. He's such a tragic figure. That is why I'm thrilled

JJ being so happy about finding something to be good at that his brothers can't touch was sweet. And Tiffany! Always saw her as Kristen Bell.
