Let me know if you think there’s anything I’ve missed!
I think one of the reasons drag kings aren’t as popular as drag queens, aside from the fact that straight women don’t like us, is that people are uncomfortable acknowledging masculinity as a performance. Like we as a society know that femininity is a performance, with its own costumes and rules. Masculinity is also a performance, and nothing makes that more clear than someone making an exaggeration of it

Pro.shippers/com.shippers DNI please
Imagine your F/O hyping you up to wear that one outfit that you’ve been a little too self conscious to wear. The one you bought on a whim but could never find a reason or a special occasion for. They can't keep their hands off of you.
Your F/O who stares at you via the mirror, watching you get ready. Drinking in every detail as they dish out compliment after compliment. "You look stellar...marvelous...vibrant." Not giving your mind any chance to torment you with self conscious rambles.
They don't care what you look like or wear as long as you're happy. But they will be damned if they dare let such a show stunner go to waste.
imagine your f/o grabbing you by the collar of your shirt and pulling you towards them all protectively in public ♡
Little Black Book | Harry Styles
Description: you’re a famous writer dating Harry, and he finds the notebook you’ve had since you were thirteen.
A/N: hi idk if the ending is a bit cliche but I spent a long time on this and would really appreciate any feedback you have in whatever form you want to give it! please don’t just consume fics on here, let authors know what you think it means a lot :)
Content Warnings: swearing
Word Count: 7920
My Writing
Harry never invades. He asks. Listens. Takes what you give him and fashions it into a map to the center of your heart, like he’s found some side door even you don’t know about. It would be less annoying if it ever actually felt like a trick. Instead, you’ve come to recognize it as one of those invaluable people skills of his he uses to care for the ones he loves and even those he doesn’t know.
So, you know he hasn’t so much as rifled through the title page of the notebook he’s holding when you walk back into your bedroom with your waters. It may look harmless in his hands, in the way that most things look harmless in his hands because they’re his, but the battered spine and broken and re-tied elastic strap give enough warning. Its contents carry a little more emotional weight than the other journals strewn across your apartment, which is saying something for you.

Night Vale had some of the BEST one off quotes that would just suckerpunch you in the chest leave you breathless
