“He told his boyfriend to come to him.
He wanted to get naked with him.
So he went to him.”

Quiet confidence.
Desire without performance.
A body at rest, unguarded, and fully present.

Black-and-white photograph of an adult man standing nude in a doorway. He rests his arms above his head, looking calmly toward the camera. The scene is softly lit, with clean architectural lines and a quiet, intimate atmosphere.

Boots on Netflix is one of the most grounded and emotional pilots I’ve seen all year. It’s raw, funny, and moving. It has grit and heart.

#BootsNetflix #SeasonReview #QueerStorytelling #StreamingSeries #TVReview

Boots (Season Review) | A heartfelt, complex coming-of-age drama about identity, brotherhood, and survival.

Netflix’s Boots reimagines The Pink Marine with grit, warmth, and heart. It’s part coming-of-age story, part survival tale, and surprisingly full of humor. Beneath the boot camp drills and military discipline lies a moving exploration of identity, fear, and belonging. If you’re looking for a show that’s both tough and tender, Boots might just surprise you.

Trying to draw without a reference makes me feel like I have no clue how to draw 🥲 But it's good practice! Two of my OCs in my main fantasy comic that I'm (slowly) working on #OC #dailysketch #queerstorytelling #bl #pencilsketch #figuredrawing

Holding hands 💖 I feel like this sums up the dynamic of these two OCs pretty well.

The man on the right is smiling and holding the other man's hand. The man on the left has long straight hair and is blushing, looking shy/embarrassed.

Three men. One couch. One rhythm.
Cal took Micah’s mouth. Luka took his body.
And the room held all of it like it had been built to witness this exact kind of chaos.

He said stay. He meant it. Not just for the night. For the ache, the pulse, the look in the mirror the next day. Room for Heat burns low, steady, and deep. Two chapters. All want. No escape.
