The Hill Top scene is happening, and we're still not over it. In this final addition to our 3-part recap of "Are You Still Talking" we continue to breakdown the scene that stole our hearts. From Anne Lister's 3 stage proposal, to the adorable cuddles in the Gruber, and the beautiful ceremony as they take the Sacraments. We gush, we cry, and it's cl…

We're back for part two of our finale recap, and things are about to intensify. Aunt Anne is looking worse for wear, Thomas is shook after his uncle pays a visit, The Priestley's do something decent for once, and the thirst finally returns for our Patron Saint as Ann reclaims control of her life. As always, we love to hear from you. Feel free to re…

We're queer, we're still here, we're just ready to be done with this year. Our break lasted a little longer than we planned, but nothing is going according to plan in 2020. Join us as we catch up on the good stuff, the bad stuff, the really bad stuff, and - as usual - the gay stuff. Stay safe out there, SAfD family!!…

Good lord! Have we finally made it to the end of this ridiculous #HistoricalNightcap??? Yes, yes we have. In this final chapter of the Anniana saga, we revisit the years 1825 and 1826 for the most infamous moments that impacted this sapphic duo. From visiting Mrs. Barlow in Paris with Mariana in tow, to Mariana actually leaving Charles and being "s…

We're back with one of our favorite Anne Lister entries of all time affectionately dubbed: "Moments of Cold, Flashes of Light" after the classic Celine Dion song 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now' that you've definitely heard us sing more than once. Mariana continues to flex her exceptional skills in the boudoir and Anne is once again left helpless. …

Well friends we're finally here, to the infamous events of Blackstone Edge and Scarbo', that would come to influence the rest of Anniana's relationship as we know it. We wanted more context around that memorable argument between Anne and Mariana in the gig in episode 7, and we finally have it. What did she say?? What did she do? Spoiler alert: too …

Hey ho! It's been 84 years, but we're finally back with the second half of this ridiculous 8 part saga! In this fifth chapter of the #HistoricalNightcap, we dive into year 1822 where Anne not only spent a great deal of time with and thinking about Mariana, but also with our favorite Georgian era drinker, Isabella Norcliffe. Love is complicated, and…

Marsha P. Johnson, Stormé DeLarverie. Sylvia Rivera. Just a few of the queer trailblazers that should be in every students' history books. This week as we weave through the lives of these incredible people and their long-lasting legacies, it's no surprise that we start off heartbroken and end up angry. JK Rowling ends up in the crossfire. Sorry not…

It didn't feel right to not pause this week and seek out some media that intentionally featured black queer stories, and we couldn't help but land on a movie that broke so much ground: Moonlight. At this juncture in our history, it feels so important to us to elevate voices in black media, so join us as we talk about this movie that changed so much…

Hey ho Grubbleteers & greetings from Quarantine! It's been way too long, and we've missed you. Since you last heard from the us the world has changed rather drastically, but what hasn't changed is just how much Mariana makes us scream. And while we may have suffered through a half dozen emotional crisis to get here, the point is, we made it! We're …

CW: discussions on suicide, self harm Nearly 2 hours to talk about the final 10min of episode 7? Why yes of course, because it was A LOT! Sally delivers an exquisite sequence of events for us to analyze. There's surrealism, magic mirrors, and quite possibly the best 4th wall break so far. We return from our 3rd and final WHISKERmission with a bit o…

Did you enjoy our interview with the Ann Walker Memorial Foundation? We hope so.

Please be forewarned that there will be excessive and random screaming parsed throughout the rest of these recap episodes, and perhaps not always so sparse. There may actually be whole 5min intervals where the screaming does not stop. What can we say, Mariana was able to illicit many intense feelings from us. During part II of our "Why've You Broug…
