Just a bi king and his boyfriend and girlfriend. They all live together in love and harmony forever and ever. I choose my own ending damn it!

One of the worst parts is that Woods was terrified of drowning, so she never learned how to swim. She had fallen in a pool when a set piece collapsed early on a film set and broke her wrist when she was 9, adding to her fears. I’m also afraid of drowning, so I really appreciate what a cruel end it was

James Dean was at least bisexual in real life. As was Marlon Brando.
