literally to present the world with a better version of you which could mean facing your future and and forgetting past mistakes or finally settling on a brand new path while they both stare at ticket stubs from a film they saw together (literally they both kept the tickets...) and then they promptly throw away the ticket stubs as though they've just been burnt because they catch themselves doing something terrible - thinking about each other. (literally they both kept the tickets but then absolutely did not think about why they'd kept the tickets, because as if they've reached a point where they'll allow themselves to realise that maybe it's possible for them to enjoy each other's company yet. and then them throwing away the tickets is them being like nope refusing to think about why I kept this it never happened i definitely did not willingly engage in recreational activity with dan humphrey/blair waldorf and then i definitely definitely definitely did not keep the evidence it just didn't happen none of it happened i will not think about it ticket gone means no more thoughts on the matter okay case closed moving on time to go visit serena...)

im gonna be honest i dont understand so many basic things that people do
ex. why put together forever etc on wedding cakes and decor and stuff, because realistically this just sets your expectations up for failure
like it would make more sense to put something generic like "omg i cant believe were getting married" or "let's try to make this last!" or even "we love each other" because even if you believe you're gonna be together, yoj HAVE to know that divorce is something that can happen, and youre just lying right ???

You guys were oddly supportive of my creepy-Morgoth drawing. I’m concerned.
...
Anyway, here’s a mountain-sized Oromë who may or may not be fused to Nahar’s back.
That blurry thing above his right antler is a discarded drawing that didn’t erase properly, but we’re going to pretend it was intentional because if you look at it right you can pretend it’s Vala magic or something. Maybe aurora borealis is the trail of his antlers as he rides across the sky and whenever he stops moving you can see it forming into ghostly outlines of animals and monsters. Does Middle Earth already have lore for the northern lights or not?

“I’m quite ready,” Dorian grinned at her, as he swept off his hat and overcoat to hang up before offering her a bouquet of chrysanthemums: Though anyone who saw her with this gift would no doubt immediately believe it had a romantic connotation, it was quite the opposite, in that chrysanthemums represented friendship, loyalty, and honesty. Seeing as he felt very loyal to her for her honesty, her help in averting tragedy, as well as a budding friendship that he was sure would grow as they worked together (and, of course, anyone who was near and dear to his best friend was near and dear to him as well), he felt they were most appropriate to gift Emily before his big performance.
But this gift aside, if Dorian was nervous about his impending impassioned plea to the de Clair’s, he certainly didn’t show it, instead seeming very confident in himself. He was never one who was prone to stage fright or pre-performance jitters, and this was no exception. In many ways, much of the plan hinged on his ability to convince the de Clair’s to break Emily’s engagement with Pennyworth, and he wasn’t about to let her or Randall down.
At that moment, Reginald, the family butler, entered the foyer-though he was surprised to see Dorian there, he nevertheless turned on his heel to announce his arrival, the young master following behind, tossing a smile and a wink to Emily in the hopes of settling her nerves. He wouldn’t let her or his best friend down.

so I (finally) started Picard S3 tonight and I haven't seen any further than the first ep, but... I'm wondering if there's meant to be some juxtaposition between the emphasis on Beverly Crusher just cutting off/disappearing from the lives of the old Enterprise crew for 20 years and Seven of Nine doing what sounds like a very possibly similar thing with the Voyager crew

not to be a horrible shipper all over your plotfic but what would the ships look like in your ageswap au?
The sample I posted does rather invite the question!
I should put out there, as a general rule, I'm not all that interested in Mike/Will and I don't have plans to write it anywhere. I don't really vibe with it, generally, and I believe I've mentioned previously (but maybe only in tags) that I really hate the way the Duffers conceived of and have been handling the possibility that Will might be gay. And many of the ways parts of the fandom have acted in response. I get that it's important to some people, and I don't want to rain on anybody's parade, but I've seen so much bad behaviour from the showrunners all the way down that it's pretty firmly put me off.
With that said, though. This fic was undertaken before I'd had much exposure to the fandom, and also, the roleswap plays...well, a role. I'm a sucker for a good triad relationship, especially the Monster Hunting Trio, and in this version of things, that's Mike and El and Will. So this is probably the only time you're ever going to see me writing reciprocated romantic feelings between Mike and Will. It's just that El is also there. And the entire context of their previous relationships with each other has changed. It feels different. I don't know. I'm operating on vibes, here.
Also because of the roleswap, this is one of those rare places where I'm not mashing Steve and Nancy and Jonathan's faces all together. Nancy and Jonathan are the Hopper and Joyce of this fic, and Steve is the Karen Wheeler. He'll be fine in his loveless marriage while the other two are off having fantastic post-saving-the-world sex. Maybe he'll have an ill-advised affair in the future. Who can say.
(Also Nancy and Barb had a brief on-again-off-again fling post-Nancy's-divorce, which has been over for some time as of the action taking place. Long enough for Barb to find a more stable relationship with the other local lesbian...)
I'm pretty sure that's it, as far as romance goes. Apart from the teen squad, it's pretty secondary to the plot in season 1, and I'm sticking with that. (Also, I need lots of time and space to fully mine the hilarity of Steve being Mike's literal actual father.)

Another thing that is driving me fucking insane is that the only thing the current rise in the anti-zionist movement is in agreement upon is a ceasefire. I think that's good in terms of organizing around one immediate, actionable change, but god it's going to be a fucking shitshow when a ceasefire does occur because there seems to be very little consensus on what should happen long-term. Not surprising, considering a lot of people are new to the cause and that their passion stems from the obvious atrocity currently happening, not a deeper connection or investment. Just bonkers to see people who want one 'secular, democratic' state (not a lot of elaboration on what that means) and people who want two independent states and people who want one Palestinian state (sometimes secular, sometimes not) all calling themselves one movement... I mean, where is all this support going to be channeled in the years to come?
