Rewatching Buffy Season One, And Id Truly Forgotten How Much I Love Season One Angel? Its Like, They

rewatching buffy season one, and i’d truly forgotten how much i love season one angel? it’s like, they weren’t completely sure how they wanted him to be portrayed yet, so he was less broody, and he was wittier, and he hadn’t hit second puberty yet. before him and buffy got toxic, they were so. sweet? like. id completely forgotten that his chest is literally BRANDED with her crucifix at the end of angel and omg???? and i’m definitely a sucker for relationships that are doomed by the plot, so maybe i’m biased but s1 bangel my beloved omfg

What if we kissed like lps do?

Had this idea and knew I had to draw it!

the only thing that would fix atp would be dying and going to hell

nightly emotional loneliness!!!

I know i’m functionally a gay DARE officer at this point but I do in fact feel some sort of way about Cocaine being back in vogue. Surely I sound like a square + narc and I’ll concede ok do whatever you want, nobody can materially stop another person from using drugs if they really want to 🤷🏻 I don’t really care that it’s hip to do party drugs, moreso I want to articulate a general level of caution and concern that I never see a sidecar of harm reduction and safe using practices along with the commonplace clips of people straight up snorting coke I’ve seen for “brat summer!!!1!!”

You 🫵 are not immune to ingesting fentanyl or any number of other additives. Do you think drugs at the gay club are different than the drugs people are taking under bridges and in gutters? I promise they’re not! So if you want to use drugs and continue being alive, do your part to be safe. Protecting yourself protects others and your community.

Do not accept drugs from strangers. Test your drugs with fentanyl test strips. Carry narcan and know how to administer it. Never use alone. Have an exit strategy if you’re using drugs in a public space. Know the contact information for your local harm reduction groups, overdose emergency hotline, and if you need/want it, addiction treatment orgs. This is all the bare minimum for community care if you intend to be out in the world using drugs. Mainly I encourage you all to be buzzkills if it means you don’t have to die of an accidental overdose. Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 40. I have a whole lot of social workers in my network and however bad you think the synthetic opioid crisis is, it’s worse. The war stories I’ve heard from my people on the ground are… The shit of nightmares. Don’t let it be you or anybody you love.

If you live in the state of Georgia, DM me for a longer list of resources.
