Addicted to Orville Peck?

Are addictions healthy? Is it possible to just have addictive behavior? 

This man made me wonder all these questions. 

Orville Peck 😛

Shocker I know, but he’s a country music artist. I never thought I would find myself in this genre at all. No offense to any country lovers out there, but the communities it draws in aren’t always the best…but then my brother tells me I just HAVE to hear this new person he found. I barely agree until the song starts.

I could sit here and try and type out how smooth and enchanting his voice is, but that just wouldn’t do any justice to him. 

On the initial listen, his voice is deep and instantly transports me to this rodeo fantasy moment, and I’m just riding with the bulls. All the while, Orville is serenading me before he comes to rescue me because I didn’t realize I couldn’t wear red while riding the bulls and I’ve been trampled. He doesn’t stop singing while running towards me and shooing the bulls away like they’re just flies on a piece of juicy watermelon on a park bench in summer. Then, through swollen eyes and a broken wrist I try and reach out to him. He hands me a rose, and I don’t even care the thorns pierce into my hand. He picks me up (still singing) and then next thing the hospital machine is beeping. There’s a note that says O.P. and a phone number. I turn to look out the hospital window and see a masked man riding a horse away. What he doesn’t realize is that I went into shock and on the verge of death I lost any memory of him. That way I get to experience him for the first time all over again. 

That’s how it felt when I heard Orville the first time. I was totally blown away. Head over heeled boots. Once learning more about him everything just made sense, and made me even more interested. 

  1. Ever since his debut in 2019 he still hasn’t publicly shown his face. He always wears a mask that covers his eyes and fringe that dangles over his lower face. It’s so freaking mysterious. I get flutters when the dangles move and you can see a jaw or a lip. You just never see it coming…LIKE THIS!

  1. He’s gay. Yes, folks! We have another secured! Orville is openly gay and we’re all here for it! It was actually him that made me and my brother realize there is an entire gay rodeo association which…who wouldn’t to go to a gay rodeo??
  2. Orville is from Canada. This was just shocking because like, excuse me if I’m just not getting something here, but he has like the Southern American accent. He’s from Canada though. Do they have a South that talks like American south too? Or do we talk like their South?…
  3. Orville loves drag queens. I think that’s so cool because…same! He even did a whole music video and it follows a queen going through a pageant rodeo. It’s just everything and has one of my favorite songs of his in it, “Roses are Falling.”

I have just become completely consumed with his essence. I love the artistic expression through the mask. He is just too cute for his own good! I found immense pleasure in finding out about him, and I hope maybe you can too. I’ll even throw in another video or two for ya. 😉 Be wild, be free, and have fun ♥

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gays in the Film Industry

We need more gay happy endings. I’ll just say it plainly and simply. I was talking to my gal pal about this the other day, which also means today, and we came to a realization. Every gay movie we could think of had the saddest endings. 

What’s up with that? Come on film industry! As being a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I find this a pressing issue. Think of the children. What are all closeted or newly uncloseted people to think when they only see the grim outcomes that could plague them. It’s not fair. It’s like if all the straights had to represent them was Titanic or The Notebook. Life would seem like such a drag, and there would be no visual representation (even if fictional) of some better future. Nothing to hope for or aspire to. 

They most always have the same plot or conflict. There’s a girl one of the characters are having to act straight with, or they’re just too afraid to come out of the closet. Yes, these are  very very very serious topics that the community faces. I am in no way trying to undermine these real struggles that exist and need to be represented. Am I in the wrong here?

The film industry has made great strides in having gay and lesbian characters. I mean HEY! I gotta give credit where it’s due! But there’s usually always room to grow. If my writing teacher has taught me anything 😉   *wink wink*

But we need more. We need some nonbinary, we need some asexual, we need some everything else that isn’t gay or lesbian. I mean come on. There is a whole spectrum, yet we usually only see two parts of it. What’s up with that? Not cool. Not right…

I mean, I am a writer so I could write new inclusive stories which I just might do. Until I make it to Hollywood with my stories, I’m looking to all those other writers out there who are closer than I. Write to include all. Don’t be scared of how the public will take it. 

Here’s some recommendations of gay movies to watch by the way…if you have the free time…they may not have the happy endings but they’re pretty good 

Anyways… be wild, be free, and have fun ♥
