That sucks because I think Jason Graham has emerged as one of the better male performers. I hope both him and Ted don’t both end up in body bags.

Overalls

We see a lot of takes on sex in ostensibly left-leaning circles that would have been unthinkable even 10 years ago. I give BTG some credit for bucking that trend.

It’s interesting. We’ve seen a lot of conservative and even puritanical takes on sex from younger people in recent years. Like how a three-year age gap between adults is a “power differential.”

I just hope it’s more than the typical “good brother/hood brother” trope.

I love this song to the marrow of my bones:

Someone on Reddit mentioned they hope he keeps his hair. There are too many men on this show with similar styling, and I agree. If I have to wait for my Black Mason Capwell, I’ll make due with some braids.

Again, I’d love to see him move to Fairmont Crest permanently. The Bell soaps don’t know how to write for Black folks (B&B only had a moment with the Avants). I don’t want to see an elderly Patrick Thornhart growling at Dani like he gargled a bunch of razor blades.

He’s divine.

I’m kinda here for it for the messy drama (even if it’s a fake out—would love to see Dani’s reaction since she thinks he hung the moon). But the writing for Black men on this show leaves a lot to be desired, and it would feel like a retread after Ted.

DLF is solid eye candy.

Is she wearing a Canadian tuxedo today?

Brazilian singer Ângela Ro Ro has passed:

Overalls with nothing underneath is my weakness:

Looking forward to Jacob’s brother. What’s with Martin/Smitty and that snoozeworthy spoiler?

Will they meet Carter?

Genius. You’re hired. And a person’s sexuality can evolve. Tired of these shows’ essentialism. I’m still pissed the show didn’t go there with Kyle and Theo, making them cousins instead. (It’s still insulting how this show has treated M2M sexuality, going back to Adam/Rafe, P3 faking his death because he was gay, and that drive-by coming out from Fen.)

Those tight, bicep-strangling polos on Mike Manning leave little to the imagination, so they may as well go that step further with Smitty. It’s not like he’s shy. We’ve seen Doug shirtless in bed with Vanessa (quite impressive, I might add—love me some Jason Graham) as well as Tomás’s tattooed torso when he finally hooked up with Kat.

I would be sad, but I’d understand. She’s a rare find.

Get that bag, Miss Ambyr:
