When Sunny Dae—self-proclaimed total nerd—meets Cirrus Soh, he can't believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakes Sunny's older brother Gray's bedroom—with its electric guitars and rock posters—for Sunny's own, he sort of, kind of, accidentally winds up telling her he's the front man of a rock band.

Now there's only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it.

First Looks Have Been Released for DC’s I Am Not Starfire and I Want to Protect Mandy With My Entire Lifeforce

I am Not Starfire Graphic Novel

I think the reason why I instantly vibe with Mandy (along with my kneejerk reaction to protect plus-size queer kids) is that I feel like there's always room for stories that explore the pressure placed on teens to just... know what their plan is for the rest of their lives.

It’s Time for Kevin McCallister to Return Home for the Holidays in This Amazing Home Alone Two Husbands Headcanon

Macaulay Culkin, co-founder of lifestyle media Bunny Ears, is the honorary bell ringers of the Nasdaq Closing Bell from the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center on August 6, 2019 in San Francisco, California.

If anyone's gonna comment on the fact that Kevin's traps could (and should) definitely kill a man, it's Dan Levy. Just thinking of his facial expressions when Kevin rigs up some of these things is comedic gold. You KNOW he's gonna ask how he came up with this stuff as a child... or just conclude that children will be the death of us all.
