#it was at the Sorbonne ofc

[hamletthedane]

I vaguely remembered that I’d woken up last night at 2am and scrambled desperately for my phone to Wikipedia-search something I just HAD to know, then immediately fell back to sleep.

But for the life of me, I could not remember what I had searched. Curious, I opened my phone’s browser to see this:

You know that feeling: it’s 2am and you really really need to immediately read the biography of Maximilien Robespierre. We’ve all been there.

#i do finally remember why but it’s boring: I wanted to know where he went to law school for some reason #it was at the Sorbonne ofc #i woke up an hour later from a dream about the French Revolution of 1848 so I should have guessed the nature of the Wikipedia search #very funny #stress dream unlocked: various french revolutions #shut up e #frev

On the other hand, the drama in my head won't stop either 🥲🥲

Look I love them in their domestic slice of life and also drama 🤣

I'm trying to keep those drama ideas at least logical 🤪🤪

Like, has Kevin seen how much passion(hatred) Raymond has for Wuntch? Did he ever wonder or in their younger year gets suspicious about it?

Or have he seen how drama Raymond is at the precinct? Did he ever wonder why his husband is much more childish and dramatic around his colleagues and secretly thought if he's the one restricting Raymond? Although from the Season 6 heist we know that he doesn't like that side of Raymond lol

Did Raymond ever get competitive with Kevin? I mean he's super competitive and I think Kevin is not as much (if it's not serve as an argument or structured debate).

What was the occasion or what happens that makes Raymond in his younger years think he has to change all about himself? (Which internally he's still that hot headed detective but what makes him decide to tone it down?) Did something happen to him and Kevin was devastated about it so he swears he won't make Kevin go through like that again?

And omg that Honeypot episode, I swear Kevin will start a storm (likely silently because he still trusts his husband after all, but I think he'd secretly resent Jake for bringing Gordon into the 99) if he sees how flirty Raymond and Gordon is, which I understand it is for Triple Dragon (or whatever the name is, I kinda hate that episode so I rarely rewatches it) operation but still. I mean going to a barrel museum with some other men is enough to be banished to the guest room what will happen if he sees the flirt??

Oh oh also, Raymond is all fed up when the dentist insults(kinda?) the word "doctor", what would he do if a fellow NYPD higher ranking people (from another precinct ofc) does that? I think Raymond would have defended Kevin to his superior officer now but in his younger years when he's trying to climb the ladder maybe not??? (That's where the drama started) One more unpleasant NYPD memory for Kevin!

Then, what else... Uhh we know Raymond is likely Kevin's first boyfriend or at least the first official one because his parents not knowing he's gay before that, so how was the struggle of him come to realize that Raymond is the one?

A personal headcanon for me is that Raymond is the one who shapes Kevin the confident, sarcastic 🤣 academics (which I know my Kevin tend to be much softer because... Well idk how to write sarcasm and they are too smart for me 😂) today because I'd think a closeted boy in his 20s in maybe 1970-ish? will be a pretty quiet and lay-low type, and maybe scared and sheepish. Especially if he came from a likely Christian family?

So Kevin always looks up to Raymond, he will always adore him and Raymond does the same to his high-end academic boyfriend/husband lol And despite their similar POV on stuff and interest, I still think internally they are attracted to each other not only for their similarities but also their difference!

Like how Raymond was always protecting Kevin physically and Kevin always protecting Raymond mentally. Look it's my personal headcanon but I loved it. 🤣

And oh oh I'd also like to imagine such smart academics like Kevin will receive all kinds of offers from other Universities but he always turned down them. Maybe Raymond found out through a citizen coming into the precinct and met Kevin, excited all about it and disappointed that he turned down their prestigious significantly better offer. Then Raymond started his overthinking drama train, all aboard on the drama train! (I mean he even suffers when Kevin was just away for 6 months in Sorbonne)

Speaking of dependencies, I guess Kevin is kinda used to being alone because of Raymond's job (he said it himself in the Commissioner episode that he sacrifices a lot of time with Kevin) so he's not as dependent as Raymond. But for Raymond, he already doesn't remember the life before Kevin where when he came back home there was no husband in the house.

Btw that being alone in the opera, symphony and I'm sure a bunch of other things Raymond kept cancelling for is another great drama source.

And then I have another one more like What Ifs, where in their younger years Raymond was undercover for a long time (kinda like Pimento but that's too long) and how Kevin coped with that.

Look these are just the ideas that I'd like to think at least logical?? 🤣 And I have like tons for AU, TGP crossover, Canon-Divergent stuff. 🥲

I hope I'll never get over this OTP and just keep going to write about them 🤗

#holt x kevin #damn that was a lot #but only a fraction from my brain and my notes #at least these are not the ridiculous one #btw i start to post here because i want to share some part of my brain (no one wants that) about them in 2023

HI do you ever think of how the song “love at the time of socialism” is not only a Gilbert Blythe song, but is also INCREDIBLY a shirbert song??? like esp the lyrics:

“Maybe I was destined for philosophy. Leading leftist ideologies at the Paris-Sorbonne…” “But these things lose all their meaning and allure if you're not there to witness the grandeur. What could take my love away?”

#continuing in the tags #LJKE HELLO????? #MENTIONS THE SORBONNE UH WHAT #also says sosososo much ab how Gil travels the world #but wherever he goes nowhere feels like home except for Anne/Avonlea #aka I don’t want sunbursts & marble halls I just want YOU #also the last lyrics of the song imply them traveling together instead of one person going alone so shirbert doing that HECK YEAH #anyway yes this is a vvv good gilbert song #also is in my gilbert and shirbert playlists ofc FJDHSKDB #megan speaks #megan stop ranting about awae #awae #Anne with an E #gilbert blythe #shirbert #anne of green gables #aogg #still thinking ab if gilbert actually went to the sorbonne;;;;;;;;;; dang #i feel like if he had we’d at least get a szn 4🤷‍♀️ #but imagine his arc while there is realizing sorbonne is Not the place for him so he transfers to Toronto #yknow what I should write a fic ab this #ooooh OOOOOOH maybe i will #I also don’t like writing winnie/gil married that makes me :// #Anne Shirley cuthbert

22-2 // DAY ONE, SIX MONTHS DEEP

It’s now been more than six months since I first arrived in Paris and I’m feeling reflective. This has been caused by a number of things, most notably a sense of superficiality. When you’re in a basic American study abroad program, it’s very easy to settle into habits and familiarity. You’re constantly surrounded by American students speaking English 99% of the time and in a dynamic and foreign city like Paris, these habits can start feeling stale. I like to think of myself as dynamic. No two days should be the same and each day should be more dynamic than the one that it followed.

In August when I began my year-long European adventure, rolling out my one suitcase from my summer apartment in Brooklyn, I wanted more than anything to not have a basic study abroad experience. Despite all of the incredible things I’ve experienced in this beautiful city, I would rate my overall experience as a 6/10. But I’m not going to settle for anything less than a 10.

I decided spontaneously to create this tumblr today in my literature course at La Sorbonne because I really to document my experience but of course have put it off for six months (classic me), and I was spacing out of my professor’s lecture on Macbeth (also classic me). This blog will be anonymous and 100% honest and full frontal.

I’m boarding my flight back to New York City in roughly 100 days at the end of May. Five minutes after I walked out of my apartment this morning at 11h50 (for a 12h class ofc), I was sweating like a dog in my coat which signified to me that spring has indeed arrived. This is the fourth and fine season that I’ll experience in France and I’m determined to make it the best.
