1 Charmed.net Aaron Billings , 2021 single work essay
— Appears in: Going Down Swinging , January no. 42 2021; (p. 52-59) 'When I was in early high school, I pretended to be a 30-yearold Californian woman on a Charmed fan forum. I did this with my best friend D, who was also my secret boyfriend. His username was Lorelai, after the Gilmore mother, and my name was Tamara. D and I had been friends since primary school, where we bonded over a love of Bionicles, these LEGO action figures that looked like tribal insects with weapons. I bought tassels from Spotlight and tied them to the backs of their heads so they could have long flowing ponytails, and we would smash these creatures into each other on the floor of my bedroom. After Bionicles we became briefly obsessed with Eurovision. We memorised the names of all the obscure European countries, and would drop Bosnia-Herzegovina into conversation with other kids on the playground to be annoying. We were insufferable and inseparable and, looking back on it, very flamboyant.' (Introduction)

'Mystical Boy Scout is the physical manifestation of homosexual resilience, extravagance and sexual prowess, and he’s finally settling down with his boyfriend Alex in a beat-up share house.

'That is until the date of their scheduled house inspection, which they are far from prepared for.

'Can gay magic help you pass a house inspection? What kind of secrets is he sitting on? What would you do to protect your boyfriend and your boyfriend’s pet chicken? All these questions beg an answer.'
