Apparently this is now an m/m romance rec blog with bonus mental casting pic spams. Let's just roll with it, shall we?

Speaking of Halloween, I made a mix! Lemme know if you have any trouble grabbing it - MF has been acting up lately.

And while we're talking music, while I was beta-reading Lenore's super-awesome Teen Wolf stripper!AU, Iiiiiiii might have put together a playlist of many, many stripper songs, and here it is. (New link, because the first one two got ( Read more... )
