Hey Yall! No fancy description for y'all today! Just an episode where we talk about our last three years with each other.

Please note **WE WILL BE TAKING A BREAK UNTIL THE SECOND WEEK IN JANUARY 2026**

UNTIL THEN!

PEACE!!

In this heartfelt episode of Together Real Bad, Ace and Beautifulll dive into what it really means to give yourself permission — to grow, to rest, to want more, and to stop asking for approval that you never needed in the first place.

From coming out stories and healing through therapy to learning when to let go of friendships, this episode explores the freedom that comes when you finally tell yourself, “It’s okay.”

💬 Topics We Cover:

• Permission to be yourself (even when others don’t understand)

• Permission to outgrow people, places, and patterns

• Permission to rest — without feeling guilty about slowing down

• Permission to feel what you feel (and not shrink your emotions)

• Permission to want more — emotionally, financially, and creatively

• Relationship talk: learning to give each other space and grace

🎙️ Moments to Listen For:

• “I had to be okay with losing my family before I came out.”

• “When I let that friendship go, I could finally breathe.”

• “Sometimes you just need permission to want more — and stop apologizing for it.”

In this week’s Together Real Bad episode, Beautifulll & Ace dive into the real question behind sharing your location with your partner: Is it about love and safety—or control and possessiveness?

From past relationships filled with sneaky Snapchat tracking and late-night casino check-ins to their current healthy balance of trust and transparency, the duo keeps it all the way real. They explore what healthy boundaries look like when partners share locations, how trauma and past experiences shape trust, and what it really means to feel safe in love.

The conversation unfolds naturally—with laughter, storytelling, and a heartfelt look at how communication can make or break modern relationships. As always, Beautifulll & Ace remind listeners that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s a bridge to deeper connection.

In This Episode:

• When location sharing crosses from caring to controlling

• How past partners used tracking apps for manipulation

• What healthy trust looks like in a queer relationship

• How safety and independence can coexist in love

• Real talk about boundaries, reassurance, and transparency

Date Night Diary: The pair also recap their elegant night out at the Carmen ballet and a five-star dinner at Hawksmoor in Chicago. Expect a little art, a little steak, and a whole lot of laughter.

This week, we dive deep into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes dangerous world of queer PDA (public displays of affection). From debates about what’s “appropriate” to the very real risks of holding hands in the wrong neighborhood, this episode is as raw and real as it gets.

We open up about our own experiences—navigating affection in front of kids, parents, church communities, and even at work events. How much of our hesitation is about “respect,” and how much is fear rooted in double standards? Straight PDA is normalized, but queer PDA is often policed, shamed, or even criminalized.

💔 Things get heavy as we reflect on a heartbreaking story of a Black queer couple who were victims of a hate crime while simply trying to drive home. Their experience is a chilling reminder of how love, safety, and survival intersect for queer people of color in America. If you want to support their healing, you can contribute to their GoFundMe here: 👉 Survived a Hate Crime, Now We're Fighting to Heal

But it’s not all heavy—this episode also touches on biking adventures, family dynamics, funny moments with our dogs, and our ongoing Date Night Diaries series. We share how PDA feels different in spaces like the beach, rural small towns, or even in our own families’ living rooms. And of course, we bring our usual mix of laughter, honesty, and unfiltered love.

🎧 Topics We Cover:

• Who decides what PDA is “too much”?

• Double standards: straight PDA vs. queer PDA

• When affection becomes protest and visibility

• Navigating affection in religious spaces

• Feeling safe (or unsafe) in different communities

• Family dynamics: PDA around parents

• Work culture & being out vs. “fighting for your life” in the closet
