NOTHG EXISTS WHOUT THE ACPANIMENT OF THE MOST UNPLEASANT WORD OF OUR TIME: DISURSE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CUTE THG QUTN IS A GAY THG. I WAS REMD OF THIS ANNOYG REALY THIS WEEK, WH THE RELEASE OF THE TRAILER FOR THE UPG ROMANTIC EDY RED, WHE & ROYAL BLUE, BASED ON THE BT-SELLG 2019 NOVEL BY CASEY MCQUISTON. THE BOOK FOLLOWS ALEX, THE SON OF THE FIRST FEMALE PRINT OF THE UNED STAT, AND PRCE HENRY, WHO IS THIRD LE FOR THE BRISH THRONE. THE PAIR BEG AS NEM, THEIR EGOS CLASHG WHEN ALEX IS SENT AS THE FAY REPRENTATIVE TO THE ROYAL WEDDG OF HENRY’S OLR BROTHER. THEY GET TO AN ARGUMENT, WHICH LEADS TO A SCUFFLE, WHICH LEADS TO AN TERNATNAL CINT: THEY KNOCK OVER THE KE. AMAZON STUDS IT’S OVER THE URSE OF DOG DIPLOMATIC DAMAGE NTROL THAT ALEX AND HENRY’S FIERY ANTAGONISM BE FIERY FLIRTATN. IN A MOMENT OF PASSN, THEY HOOK UP. THEY QUTN AND E TO TERMS WH THEIR RPECTIVE SEXUALI. THEN THEY HOOK UP SOME MORE, E OUT TO—OR, SOME S, ARE FOUND OUT BY—MEMBERS OF THEIR FAI, WHO THEN GRAPPLE WH WHETHER TO ALLOW THE FIRST SON AND THE ROYAL PRCE TO BE PUBLIC AS A UPLE.I READ THE BOOK , LIKE, TWO DAYS WHILE ON VATN. I THOUGHT WAS NOCUO AND SWEET, AND I WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS ACTUAL FUCKG . THE MOVIE IS RATED R, DITG THERE MAY BE FUCKG THAT TOO. WHEN TO QUEER-THEMED ROM-S DIRECTED AT A MASTREAM DIENCE, WE LL THAT PROGRS.THEN AGA, THERE ARE ALL THE ELEMENTS OF RED, WHE & ROYAL BLUE THAT DO NOT REPRENT PROGRS, HENCE THAT WORD AGA: DISURSE.WHILE THE BOOK’S THOR, MCQUISTON, INTIFI AS QUEER AND NON-BARY, THERE ARE CRICS WHO DISMISS RED, WHE & ROYAL BLUE AS YET ANOTHER BT-SELLG BOOK ABOUT QUEER OR GAY MEN NOT WRTEN BY A QUEER OR GAY MAN. (HANYA YANAGIHARA’S A LTLE LIFE MAY BE THE MOST EGREG EXAMPLE.)AS THEY DID WH OTHER RECENT QUEER ROMANC LIKE LOVE, SIMON, HAPPIT SEASON, AND HEARTSTOPPER, SOME MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ MUNY HAVE CRICIZED MCQUISTON’S BOOK AS YET ANOTHER MASTREAM STORY THAT STILL—AND ALMOST SOLELY—FOC ON THE TRMA OF G OUT OF THE CLOSET. AND, AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE LEADS’ LLECTIVE DOZEN OR SO ABS ON DISPLAY THE RW&RB TRAILER, THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A STORY CENTERG THE EXPERIENC OF PRIVILEGED, EXTREMELY HOT MEN. ALEX IS BIRACIAL, SO AT LEAST ’S NOT SOLELY A PRIVILEGED, EXTREMELY HOT, WHE MALE EXPERIENCE THIS TIME AROUND.PL, WILL THERE BE ENOUGH FUCKG? THE JURY’S OUT!IN ANY SE, HERE’S A SAMPLG OF THE MIXED REACTNS TO THE TRAILER, TO GIVE A SENSE OF HOW POLARIZG THE PROJECTS N BE. (ME? I’M EXCED FOR !) IN PRAISE OF THE CROWD FAVORETHERE WAS ONLY ONE THG MORE THRILLG THAN THE RETURN OF HOT STEVE THIS WEEK’S EPISO OF AND JT LIKE THAT. (SEE BELOW FOR A STILL OF, FALLY, HIS FIRST APPEARANCE SEASON 2: SHIRTLS, WH A KILLER REVENGE BOD, BOXG HIS APARTMENT.) THAT WOULD BE THE RETURN OF MY FAVORE RECURRG CHARACTER THE SEX AND THE CY UNIVERSE, CANDICE BERGEN’S NOW-FORMER VOGUE EDOR ENID FRICK.

COLDNS AND DIRECTNS IS KEY TO HER PROFSNAL SUCCS, WHEREAS CARRIE’S GIRLISHNS AND EFFIVENS BE HER TRAMARK. BUT THEY SHARE AN SECURY THAT ENDS UP BONDG THEM, TO THE POT THAT THEIR RELATNSHIP TOGGL BETWEEN ENEMY TERRORY, MUTUAL RPECT, AND UTTER RENTMENT. FOR ALL THE WAYS WHICH THEY WALK ON ICE AROUND EACH OTHER, THEY MANAGE TO BE THE ONLY ON PABLE OF GETTG EACH OTHER TO SEE THE HARSH TTHS.BEYOND THAT, ENID IS AN IN: HORNY, SPERATE TO RETA POWER, AND SO JEALO SPE OF HER SOCIAL STAT THAT SHE WIELDS BTERNS LIKE THE UPPER EAST SI’S MOST DANGERO WEAPON. HER APPEARANCE THIS WEEK WAS FANTASTIC AND, BEYOND HER WEALTH, RELATABLE! I WON’T REVEAL WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PARTY SHE THROWS THAT CARRIE ATTENDS THIS EPISO. THE LAST TIME THEY WERE AT A SOIRéE TOGETHER, THE FAMO “SPLAT!” HAPPENED. WHAT THEY WNS THIS TIME MAY BE THE ONLY THG MORE SHOCKG.BERNATTE PETERS CAN TEACH US A LOTBERNATTE PETERS WAS A GUT ON LIVE WH KELLY AND MARK THIS WEEK. HER ENTRANCE TO THE TERVIEW SHOULD BE STUDIED.
