Continuing my list of fifty Canadian songs I love from the past fifty years, 1982 is just a good old-fashioned banger.

Your Daddy Don't Know by Toronto

This isn't one of the main prompts, but when you get an idea, you don't argue with the muse, you just draw it.

Drawing and prompt list under the cut.

Thinky Thoughts: Academics Turn Me On

I’m such a nerd. I just finished taking a 10-week long college class about Romance and it was great.

It all started when I saw my on social media that Dr. Sam Hirst was offering an online class via University of Liverpool: “Falling in Love with Love: A History of Popular Romance.” She had posted that the class needed some more signups to be a go, and I jumped right in without really thinking about whether I truly had the time for it.

In fact, I somehow messed up up the time zone conversion and so I couldn’t even attend the live portion of the class for the first few weeks! But the online lectures, the reading material, and the films kept me quite busy.

Out of the Closet (3867 words) by Luthien
Chapters: 2/2
Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, David Hollander/Yuna Hollander
Characters: Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, David Hollander, Yuna Hollander
Additional Tags: POV Outsider, Episode Tag, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, David Hollander takes charge, Marriage Proposal
Summary:

Of the two of them, Yuna is the worrier. Everyone who knows them, knows that. David is the quiet presence in the background, ready with calming words, or a convenient shoulder, always the one providing sustenance —and, if the situation proves sufficiently dire, cracking open a bottle of wine. Or vodka.

That's the face they show the world, anyway.

The truth is a little more complicated. Yuna worries out in the open, wearing her concerns on her sleeve the way lovers—though apparently that word has fallen out of fashion when David wasn't looking—wear hearts. But David is a closet worrier.

David's perspective on the end of season 1, and beyond. He winds up making a suggestion that maybe only he can make.

Continuing the queer short film recs, thanks to muscle_wizard sharing this one in my last post:



An older woman with a crush on someone in her circle approaches her younger co-worker for advice on how to ask out another woman for the first time. This really got me—charming and moving at the same time.

Dandelion is a very sweet short film starring Ava Lalezarzadeh as Margaret, a queer teen in the foster care system in the 1970s, and Vic Michaelis as Joyce, the volunteer trying to find her a new placement after she's kicked out of convent school. The short's a lovely standalone, but I was really happy to hear it's being made into a full-length movie!
