thinking about kristen casually being able to sew.
do you think she picked it up when she was still a cleric of helio? something her parents taught her in order to make her more of a woman? do you think she sat beside her mother and watched intently, hands fidgeting eagerly as she mimicked the motions?
do you think she used it for her brothers? her parents were busy, you see, but her brothers were still just young boys, playing around in the yard. maybe they tore a hole in their pants - not their nice church pants, that would never be allowed, but just their regular everyday clothes. do you think she fixed them up with a smile? never complaining, even when she pricked her fingers countless times? someone had to do it, you know.
do you think she ever used it for her friends? she embroidered stars into adaine’s jacket sleeves, stitched the tears in gorgug’s jeans with mushrooms and leaves. maybe there’s a sun on the pocket of a pair of denim shorts she never wears but can’t bring herself to throw away. do you think they asked where she learned it? that she shrugged it off, claiming it was just another thing she’d picked up?
do you think the muscle memory came back to her in that moment? fabric and skin aren’t so different, you see, not when you’re under pressure. sometimes the stress feels the same when you’re down to the wire. sometimes your friends panicking about a dying woman is the same as your parents asking your tiny brother where the strange stitches in his jeans came from.
do you think about kristen applebees, oldest daughter to a family that hardly cares for her anymore?
Spy has a real antipathy towards sniping as a profession, which is interesting since he’s not the one who’s being sniped generally, being cloaked or disguised 90% of the time. His teammates however get sniped a lot, especially Heavy and Medic. Maybe he’s a little indignant on their behalf, I don’t know. I know I’m grateful to Spies when they take out Snipers for me/my Heavy, haha.
GOD something about Ianto being appalled that Jack could/would sacrifice those kids to the aliens in 1965 and yet when Jack gets shot (when Ianto has literally just found out), his first instinct is to pull Jack into his lap and hold his hand.
And that when there isn't even a sliver of danger to Jack -- it's just that Ianto knows how jarring and unpleasant it is for Jack to come back from death and doesn't want him to go thru it alone this once (even though he has done a million times before) not if he can help it 😭
okay well the first part isn’t silly! so the episode is based around a con they are doing where a polyam triad wants to get married and have been writing to senators and stuff for years but nothing has happened. maybe there is a time element that leeway has to happen soon (not sure what that would be yet, maybe someone is sick???)
(obviously polycules aren’t only and are often more than just a closed three-person system, but I’m saying triad right now bc I feel like that would be an easier and more ‘socially acceptable’ gateway into more accepting legislation for diverse relationship dynamics)
the leverage crew, of course, can’t outright change the public perception of poly marriage, but they can use the ‘enemy’s’ tactics against them and slip stuff into legislation without people noticing like they do. it’s slimy and it’s not a permanent fix, but it’s a start, and it gives people the opportunity to see poly marriage in action and that it isn’t as terrifying or pearl-clutching-inducing as they think it would be. there’s a long way to go, but the seeds of change have been sown and they will make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible
this is one of the cases that they will monitor on the back burner over time. some cons can finish within a few hours (the bottle job), and some things they will follow over time and make adjustments when needed- amplify voices and expose corrupt politicians etc
and then it’s just after 3/4 of the way through but the con has been finished? what is going on? this is where the silliness comes in
the camera turns to the ot3 and…
hardison, pulling out three individualized rings: I know it’s not legal yet, and we have the necklaces, but I think rings would be a nice touch
eliot, pulling out an intricately carved box that also has three self-handcrafted rings: dammit hardison (with feeling and tenderness, and damp eyes)
parker, pulling out three very stolen rings from her pocket: does this mean we’re getting triple married if we all have three rings???
harry pops into the conversation (practically vibrating) excitedly just casually mentioning that he’s a notary and would be honored to marry them to each other if they wanted to
(they do)
wait, did I say silly? I meant unwaveringly tender and heartwarming
im at school and cant see streams, what is the bunny x gabe thing?
When you say you’re at school I really hope you mean college 🤨
If you mean high school then this post ain’t for you get outta here
The bunny. This is the Bnnuy. Name: Big Buff Bunny with a Huge Cock. Aka: Bnnuy with a huge Schlongus. Greatest OC and character design of all time. He’s the confident as you can see.
Idk where it originated from..? Or maybe I just completely blanked out when he did it the first time. He just started drawing it on some of the prints (as a request) and then people started drawing fan art of it
And now the bunny is a DnD character?? I didn’t watch those streams idk what’s going on with that tbh
Anyway during the February print signing stream someone said “say hi to gabe for me” and he said something along the lines of “he’s dick deep in the bunny right now”
it’s up to a brave and courageous soul to create this image.
I don’t have the exact wording cause it was like a whisper and im at work………… I have headphones on but I don’t want to put the volume up lol
A little while later he goes back to “check on gabe” and he said “gabriel is the type of guy to nut in a bunny and then go watch jerma”. Of course.
That’s the end of that story.. so far. As far as I’ve watched the stream at least.
