Hi, babes.
I felt called to share a bonus QJ snippet with you this evening in thanks for all the support I received for my Fallen Angels launch PLUS all the support for Hail Mary + Queer Jesus in general! It’s truly a dream to run this biz, but it sure ain’t easy—supporters and friends like you make it easier. <3
I’ve felt a bit low the last week and this snippet I wrote last summer about Jesus and Jo lifted me a bit—I hope it brings you a lil’ lemon brightness, too. Sending lots of feb love!
Jesus promised to help clean the bathrooms if Jo braids their hair first, so Jo is determined to learn how. As Jesus settles between his legs and begins to gab about Mags’s new bass guitar (“I really wish she would have gone with the pink finish but she never listens to me and always buys everything in black”), Jo splits one half of their hair into 3 parts, and begins to twist and fold and count–just like he saw on the YouTube video–his tongue sticking out in concentration.
Jo finishes, tabs a bit of lemon oil on the ends, and gives Jesus the handheld mirror to inspect. They give Jo a fake but loving smile, insisting with gumption the braids “look really, really good, Jo!” Jo doesn’t mind the white lie. He relishes the time with Jesus, knowing all the practice means more sweet, quality moments with them. Jo hands Jesus a little spray bottle with diluted lemon and spruce oils, winking as Jesus sighs and kneels to scrub the bathroom tub.
Thanks for reading this installment of Queer Jesus, y’all!
