[toplines]

So fucking tired of the people voting for BBM. (Bongbong Marcos).

I'm a minor, and i don't give a fuck if you tell me i have no say in the election just cause i can't vote yet.

Nabwibwisit ako kasi people only focus on the PRESENT time but not for future where US MINORS will CARRY the consequences that will happen after this election. good and bad. minors can’t vote i know that, we have to be of age my god! “kahit wala tayong say in this” as they like to put it THIS IS OUR FUTURE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!

“Marcos has created a big public relations machinery a social media to try to convince people that the 14 YEARS of martial law- the collective nightmare. He’s trying to use social media and yung mga trolls niya - his hundreds of trolls to say ‘my god golden years’ daw iyon. This is a family that has RAPED the country! it has not apologized to the country! okay? and now he WANTS to rape the country AGAIN! FUCK YOU MARCOS.”

gago kayo. bobo. i hate it here.

Don't come crying to us when you realize the consequences of your decision to put someone like BBM in power.

"Why are you putting the actions of his father towards his son? He has nothing the do with it."

can we stop saying that marcos jr is not involved in the crimes his father did. HE IS. HE WAS A TEENAGER WHEN MARTIAL LAW HAPPENED. when he became a politician did he do anything to fix what his father did? no. therefore, he’s an accomplice.

"But the martial law was a time of prosperity!"

weh? talaga? Watch this video.

And read this article.

And this amazing video by John Oliver.

AEW All Out 2022 - Quickfire Review

Completing our trilogy of wrestling is AEW's Chicago PPV. After much deliberation on the card we have 15 matches to get through, more than Clash and World's Collide combined

but what matters is the finished product, so let's see how AEW's turn fared

Spoilers for the PPV

Zero Hour

Starting with the Mixed Tag champions heating it up before Ortiz and Ruby jumped them with a cart, Sammy pushed Tay out of the way

Ortiz is sporting like an Aja Kong level facepaint

Anna tries to interfere but Ruby counters it this time, but she does catch the leg to stumble Ruby into a Tay-KO, nice and inoffensive match, tad unnecessary but that start was pretty hot

I will say though, Ruby NEEDS a partner, put this solely as a women's feud against TayJay: Mercedes Martinez is my top choice, put the ROH women's title into the mix and then finish the feud with Ruby and Mercedes winning a street fight

Cool Hand Angelo with the nice jacket

This was a nice little new experience for HOOK really, normally his opponents have been 1v1, but with Daddy Magic running interference it showed how he needed to handle the disadvantage

Parker held out longer than most too, both were clean moving

Redrum after getting out of Parker's Brainbuster, Menard attacks after but Action Bronson - who sings HOOK's entrance them - makes the save

The Bombastic Box Man enters with a couple of other box men, and he got a nice pop for a guy who's sat in the crowd for much of a year

BBM got a nice showcase to remind the fans of his athleticism and ring psychology, he had the crowd in his hand for much of the match, even responding to a heckler 'yeah but I'm over it'

There is narrative with PAC though, he feels unchallenged but that gave Kip a lot of openings, which only annoys the BASTARD more

No Tony, that's not the Coup de Grace XD After raining stomps on Kip, PAC finishes Kip with a Black Arrow

Tony comes to potentially interview PAC but out comes Orange Cassidy. PAC however tells him 'No', hilariously, while Kip argues with his box head

Ohf Eddie, can you just promo poetry to us?

Ishiii and Eddie deserved more of an ovation, I thought this was Chicago?

There we go Chicago

You'd think after GUNTHER vs Sheamus I'd have had enough of chops but NOPE YOU'D BE WRONG!

This is just two hard-arsed men slapping the spit outta each other

A very close nearfall from an Uraken, but then after Ishii headbutts Eddie awake, Uraken and Fisherman's Bomb finishes it for a good match

Eddie shows his respects to a reluctant Ishii to end the Zero Hour, commentary further hinting a rubber match

Four good matches, my whistle whetted, what's to complain?

Main Card

We start big with the Casino Ladder Match

YUTA and Fénix are our first guys

Wasting no time in using the ladders, but RUSH comes out next

RUSH whips Fénix with camera wire as Andrade comes out

LFI work together but they're too modest with each other

Yoots gets sunset bombed into a ladder just in time for Claudio to come in

Bit of a messy spot with Andrade, and then when Dante comes in the ladder falls on him XD sometimes the furniture doesn't play ball

Dante gets a few near escape spots while throwing Claudio out of the ring

Penta comes in like a house on fire though, including killing Andrade with a Ladder Destroyer, Fénix also kills RUSH with a table splash

Unknown assailants attack Dante, and one climbs to the top

It's Stoke's Blokes!

They give the chip to a masked leader, but he won't unmask to reveal himself

Okay, that finish was weird, but we were all asking for Stoke's Blokes to do something. And now we have a mystery and they got it out of the way, in the vacuum it's not great but we'll have to see how it plays out

I thought the joker would be MJF but we'll have to see

The purple bandannas are back

Kenny still delving out that Ospreay Shade, no tape on Kenneth this time

Callis trying to give the mind games on commentary

DO showing their talent, but when Hangman reins them in Matt tags in Kenny

Hear that noise

Kenny's presence has awoken Hangman's intensity

'You can't do that!' hilariously said as Hangman escapes the You Can't Escape

Silver's hot tag is stopped temporarily by a superkick

Spin Doctor and Dark Order Combination have only gotten them two

Pendulum Bomb intercepted at 2

I don't wanna hear ANOTHER WORD saying that Silver and Reynolds are not great tag wrestlers, they have hung with the Bucks

Kenny at 100% though, there's a reason he's called the Best Bout Machine

Buckshot from Page, he tries another but Matt holds him back, Kenny ducks and Nick hits the Buckshot, BTE Trigger, saved by Reynolds!

Oh that almost got me, Silver rolled Omega for 2.98

And the tragic end though, Kenny ducks the Buckshot and Silver eats all of it, giving the Elite the win

I'm not mad about it, it was an excellent match, and the narrative serves amazingly that Hangman ended up the Dark Order's downfall, but I REALLY wanted Dark Order to win there

TBS title next and Athena's got new wings

Jade goes She Hulk for her attire

Athena hits the O-Face early but the baddies break it up, Kiera throws Leila under the bus

Both kipping back up after big moves

That went too short I'm afraid, still a good match but after Jade hit the big boot it was over from a single Jaded

Before everyone goes on a tirade though, it's worth reminding that the TBS title plans had gone off course since Kris' injury, the interferences also imply Athena might get a rematch, but again, in the vacuum it wasn't great that it was short

Sonjay tried to get heat with the shirt, but Dax brought his aforementioned 8 year old

You doubt Wardlow isn't still over with that noise?

It's key that Lethal and MCMG need to triple team each individual to maintain advantage

Powerbomb Symphony gets the win

Lethal's squad tries to corner FTR and Wardlow but here returns Samoa Joe

And some nice popping with Dax's daughter pinning Dutt

It was nice stuff, against the TBS title I probably would've just put this on the next Dynamite so the TBS title had more time

Ricky and Hobbs wasting no time going at it

But it never quite gets out of second gear, which is a shame, Hobbs dominates much of the match and when Starks heats up he runs into a Spinebuster

Acclaimed Rap was alright, Trump documents didn't quite land with the crowd

Oh Bowens literally ran from Keith Lee there

Oh? Keith Lee forgoing the handshake? Guess they sense that the Acclaimed has the fans's side

Can't tell if Bowens' knee is a work or shoot, Swerve and Lee got to work on it but Bowens is staggering so maybe it's a bit of both?

Swerve Stomp for just 2!

Caster Lifted Lee!

Mic Drop broken up at 2.9!

Bowens couldn't hold off for long and the House Call has the champs retain

Lee tried to show the scissor for respect but the crowd weren't having it, bit stubborn of Chicago I think

This was a good match, it felt like it had to alter on the fly given how over the Acclaimed are

Tony gets a lot of heat for the women but Chicago are not exactly giving the women their dues reaction wise either, literally so quiet. The Casino Ladder match had as much build and wasn't this quiet so don't give me any shit that it's all on Tony

Hayter got a point mocking the ref as the duo take out Shida on the ramp with a curb stomp

They're trying to drag her out but Shida will come back

And she's back with two kendo sticks!

CHICAGO FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST MAKE SOME NOISE

Baker screws Hayter out of the win by pulling the ref!

Then almost tries to pin Hayter after Toni spiked her!

Toni hits the DDTs on Baker and Hayter to win

This match was good, but the crowd was so lifeless towards it and I hate that, Toni winning makes sense because she was gonna beat Rosa on this match, but I had hoped for Hayter

That being said Hayter being betrayed can lead to something, y'know, Storyline!

JB's mother gives Christian a slap

JB comes out but Luchasaurus chokeslams him on the grates, then on table right in front of his family

This is good heat though, JB still tries to fight and kicks out of the Spear but not the Killswitch.

Heel Luchasaurus is the way to go as well, new music and look couldn't be put to waste

Papa Regal back on Commentary

Who is Elliott Taylor? Kinda a change of tone there

Garcia watching from back as well

This is good from a technique standpoint but it is slow for me

Cattle Mutilation to BCC Elbows

Low Blow and Judas Effect gets Jericho the win, but as JAS celebrate, Garcia looks on disappointed that Jericho had to cheat to win

HoB with the cool entrance as expected

Miro going for the House even before Sting and Darby had their entrances

Sting is cured of his affliction, though there might be a little twinge of poison left

Yeah just let Miro fight them all

Darby has to blind tag to get in the match because Miro won't tag his enemies

No pop for Miro tag? The fuck are you on Chicago?

Least you're piping up for Sting

Death Drop and Coffin Drop is broken up by Buddy

Buddy causing Miro to crash by hitting him with the bat

STING MIST, Last Supper gives the win

Another good match Chicago ruined by silence, but I think the House needed the win

But don't get it twisted, Malakai ain't leaving AEW, he's just taking time off

Garcia is told he's on his own for the PURE title match

Death Triangle vs Best Friends too

Mox is being prime asshole here

Punk didn't buckle this time though, a flurry into a GTS is only a nearfall

And now into the Chicago crowd

Now Punk bleeds instead of Mox

Welp, Mox is sleeping on the couch tonight, Renee don't like the blood licking

Mox focusing on the leg though as Punk stays reluctant

But Punk damages Mox's shoulder for an Anaconda Vice

Mox catches the GTS for a Death Rider but it's only 2

A second GTS lands but Mox falls on him, so he hits the third for the win

It's the right call, Mox deserved to be the first 2-time champ which is why we did the Cleveland incident

Lights go out and Masked Joker is indeed The Devil Himself, Maxwell Jacob Friedman

So in my book, as dullard as the finish to the opener was, the outcome is validated

Conclusion

It was a good show, but like the others, this should have been better.

Tony is hopefully to learn a valuable lesson that he has put too many matches on the main card, some matches were owed more time, and other matches could've been put onto Dynamite and Rampage. Some things are calculated risks that may pay off down the line but there has to be a balance between payoff on the night and payoff on the future. Chicago though were for many matches obnoxiously quiet and reluctant, and no matter how much the wrestlers tried to draw energy, they didn't play ball. Some wrestlers are now desperately in need of a win though; Ruby, HoB, Jamie, it wasn't a good night for BCC either since they all lost, Yoots can bounce back against Garcia (because I kinda want Moriarty to win it off him) .

There are positives at play, and the Trios match is probably the one I enjoyed most out of all three shows, we got some solid storytelling as a result of some match outcomes, the All Atlantic Title is levelling up, the Trios Tournament finished strong, and dangling threads for turns.

Also the media scrum to me feels like a work, you'd think Tony would just sit there as Punk shot on everyone else? And then rumors that Punk fought with the Bucks? Doubtful, unless you see some suspensions I'd say this is just a play to resuscitate kayfabe - just like the MJF stuff. But frankly I'm tired of that, I just want to watch my wrestling.

Overall, All Out matches Clash at the Castle, while Clash was too safe and ended dully by backing out on hitting the iron, All Out was bloated and didn't give all the potential great matches the time they deserved, but there were good matches and wrestling in all three PPV shows.

Story time alert!

So yeah as you guys probably know, I went back to my old school two days ago. As I strolled through the halls, passing the walls that witnessed our story together, pages and pages of memories came back to me.

I'll start with the minor one.

One day, after a long day at school, I went home with one thing in my head. Sleep. I remember I was so exhausted and I just can't wait to go to bed.

I got home, took a long bath, did all my chores, and then FINALLY went to my room and jumped on my bed. Before I went to sleep, I decided to play with my phone a little bit.

In the middle of scrolling through the BBM status of my friends, I received a massage. It was from him.

All the tiredness that I previously felt left my body and what was left was the feeling of my heart racing. The message was simple, but I could hear his giddy voice through the text.

"Hey A! I found a song that you should REALLY hear!"

"Oh yeah? Tell me then"

"Have you heard of spectrum by Zedd?"

No, I haven't. This is one of the rare times he introduced a song to me that I never had a clue of. When I told him that I didn't know the song, he was shocked.

"Really?? You should listen to it!"

"Okay I will!"

I went to youtube and searched for the song. I clicked the play button and do what I usually do, focused on the lyrics.

When I tell you my heart dropped, I mean it.

If you don't know the song, here's the lyrics:

-----------

Zedd - Spectrum ft Matthew Koma

Breathing you in when I want you out

Finding our truth in a hope of doubt

Lying inside our quiet drama

Wearing your heart like a stolen dream

Opening skies with your broken keys

No one can blind us any longer

We'll run where lights won't chase us

Hide where love can save us

I will never let you go

-----------

It's an EDM song and yet I was on the verged of tears. I felt like I was crying in a club lmao.

I went to message him back and played it cool.

"That's so good!"

"Right?! The lyrics are so good."

My head was spinning realizing that he acknowledged the lyrics too.

"Yeah, the lyrics are beautiful."

After that, he changed the subject and as usual we ended up texting till around 9 - 10 pm.

When he left, I was so devastated and kept on listening to the songs we used to sing or the ones that he recommended to me. I came to realize that most if not all of the songs he recommended have the same meaning.

Either forbidden love or a relationship that could never work. Haha.

[thatfraudcassandra]

OK, I've listened to just about every bit of criticism you've all thrown at Leni, and while some are definitely valid (that Senate slate? Her bickering "elitist" supporters? The dilly-dallying around a senate representative from the marginalized? Her "mother" branding? All valid and all equally important for Leni to take stock of), some are ridiculous, lack imagination, and are just. plain. reaching.

1. Leni will divide the opposition votes. Apart from Ka Leody, Leni is the only true opposition. Isko Moreno, Manny Pacquiao, Ping Lacson were all once allies of this godawful administration. Leni, on the other hand, has been one of Duterte's most vocal critics, losing her a chair in the cabinet due to "irreconcilable differences" as early as 6 months after Duterte stepped into the presidency. Meanwhile, the now self-proclaimed critics and oppositioners all once enjoyed the perks of being the President's sycophants.

Going by this logic, the discerning voting public tired of being dragged through the mud will likely see through this zarzuela of sheep-in-wolf's-clothing and will go for the true opposition--Leody or Leni.

One more note: Leni has always been the leading opposition bet against the administration Presidency candidate, long before anyone has announced their bid. It's unfair, and frankly misogynistic to brand her as the one who will divide votes, just because she didn't fold. Her intentions are set on unifying the opposition, but the men she spoke to all appear to have selfish ambitions. A woman tries to lead with the help of men who do not want to give up the reins, and she's the one who gets branded as ambitious, dividing the votes. You doing yoga? Kasi what a stretch.

Edit: Leody de Guzman gives his take on how and why Leni divides votes for the opposition. Viewed in this light, it does make sense. By publicly initiating unity talks with former Duterte allies presumably because their spats with the President, no matter how rigged, have gotten media mileage--Leni made it okay for Isko and Pacquiao to claim they're Opposition when they're clearly not. Still doesn't mean she shouldn't have run, but Leody's statement has weight and is something Leni's supporters (like me, currently) would have to think about. Additional reading here.

2. Leni doesn't really want to lead. I've always said this--a reluctant leader will be good leader because she doesn't have skin in the game. She does not care about the fringe benefits and therefore will perform with integrity. How many ambitious pigs have we let lead this country and where has it gotten us? Yes, a certain level of ambition and grit is required to be a great leader, but just because someone is reluctant doesn't mean she's to be dismissed. Her track record speaks for itself--she is accountable, transparent, and hands-on. That doesn't sound to me like someone who doesn't want to lead.

3. Leni only wanted to run because BBM ran. Leni wanted a united opposition, she's been going on and on about it for months. But Isko's stance on the Marcos family caused her to balk at the thought of a united front. Leni did say that she will run the moment the Marcos son declares his bid for Presidency, but it's simplistic to say that it's her only motivation. As an administration foe, she states ending corruption, rotten politics, and ineptitude as her goals in vying for the presidency.

4. Leni left LP. She's still the sitting chair and is running as an Independent, indicative that she still presides over the opposition party. In the meantime, former Liberal Party members have jumped ship and actually joined other parties, so this criticism is just absurd.

5. Leni takes too long to make a decision. Ewan ko sa inyo, ha, pero I would rather have a President who weighs everything before finalizing her decision, rather than someone who just wings it. What's important is she made it to the deadline, and she didn't employ a placeholder na tinawagan nang 3PM to be a dummy candidate until a certain someone finally joins the race.

6. Leni Robredo isn't smart. Okay this is just ridiculous. Yeah, she failed the bar exam because she was raising their kids (meanwhile, we normies fail exams kahit single), but she passed the second time and have been actually useful as a lawyer, lawmaker, and a Vice President. She has proven to be eloquent in speeches, have been able to hold her own during interviews (a common criticism is the way she repeats words and balks--could be a speech impediment, but Joe Biden had that, too, and that didn't stop him, did it?), and has actually done good for the country. A million medals and transcripts from Princeton or Oxford don't matter if you plunder a nation's wealth or kill the marginalized without giving them their day in court.

C-cowboy starker? What if cowboy starker, I mean? I think... cattle driver Tony maybe, and ranch hand Peter,,, always wanted to write about this but I’m shy 🙈

mid-writing edit: i’ve spent half an hour on this and my computer is literally lagging with how fast i’m typing. i really hope this makes sense because holy shit, i love cowboy starker. anon, i need you in my inbox every single fucking time you have an idea about starker. idk if it’s in passing, idk if it’s super fleeting and doesn’t make sense. anon, you are my muse

ohhhhh my god anon i ,, love this idea so much i’ve actually thought about this a bit ngl you don’t even know how much i like western aus

okay so hear me out:

i’m thinking brokeback type shit, right?? but just a tad different like be honest who doesn’t like the whole bbm trope yfm and twink jake gyllenhaal is my baby okay okay okay sorry babe i’m still crossfaded as fuck and i could talk about that movie for days anyway back on topic

- no okay but think of it - tony, he’s recently divorced and morgan, his baby girl, his one and only daughter, she’s 19 now and seeing this absolute gentleman of a roughneck. his house is empty, he isn’t paying child support anymore, he doesn’t have this bitchy redhead on his ass 24/7 about getting a job in the city

- because tony hates the city, hates that his father dragged them away from the mountains and prairies he remembers from his childhood. hates what the city gave him - black eyes and mean names and disappointed parents

- so tony high tailed it the fuck out of dodge the second he turned 18. abandoned school, abandoned his family, took his beat up ford out to montana and disappeared. married this nice girl, virginia pepper, worked construction to support her while she went to school. had a pretty baby girl a year or two later. moved both of his girls out to a ranch he bought with their tiny savings, got a couple’a cows and a horse and made friends with a neighbor with a bull

- but eventually, pep had bigger dreams. they were both young when they got married, didn’t look past the immediate sexual compatibility to see that their futures were well and truly not going to go well together

- so she left the ranch, took morgan with, and made her way to the city. became some big lawyer or doctor or businesswoman or something, tony didn’t know. didn’t really care because the child support invoices still came every single month like clockwork. 

- so instead of focusing on his distant daughter and his ex wife that wouldn’t listen to him and his family that just... didn’t understand, he threw himself into the wildlife around him

- became closer with those neighbors that had a bull. eventually came to an agreement and let him free with his girls

- built a very solid herd of highlanders in a handful of years, slowly attracting the attention of more and more owners wanting to trade, to buy, to sell 

- and maybe one year, he realizes, he’s in a bit too far over his head with this. he has 100 of these four legged fuckers, he has 50 acres to take care of by himself, he has horses to feed and shoe and groom. he has fields to plant and water and harvest if he wants to feed any of the animals mentioned above

- so he reaches out to his neighbors, puts feelers out and sees if anyone knows a farmhand who’d want to help him out, maybe live on the property full time for a bit. and when he gets a call back his heart breaks a bit, because oh my god he wasn’t prepared for this

- a kid, can’t have been more than morgan’s age, has responded to him, and he’s good with his hands mr. stark, and he knows his way around animals mr. stark, been takin’ care of ‘em for his whole life now mr. stark 

- and this kid is ,, he sounds so innocent and sweet there’s no way tony’s gonna say yes before he actually meets him 

- so tony gives the kid his address, tells him to come out and give things a once over before he makes his mind up

- so peter does. he comes out, introduces himself, looks around the property with tony. and tonys heart hurts, because this kid, this kid that’s standing right in front of him, is almost skin and bones and looks like he’s about to crumble into dust and blow away in his hands

- he brings peter into the house, brings him coffee, offers him food. even after peter politely declines he brings over some bread to share, maybe a slice of pie?? maybe tony can cook and bake. he has a sweet tooth after all, and he’s been on his own for the better part of two decades. 

- and he really gets to know peter. they sit, they talk, until the sun dips down and the open mountain chill takes over them

- and peter tells him that he’s been on his own for a couple of years, that his parents died when he was young and that his aunt and uncle took him in on their ranch. that he grew up around animals, working, helping out

- but when they died the property was repossessed by the bank and peter’d all but ran with ben’s keys and the clothes on his back. he’s been on the road ever since, going from missouri to texas to wyoming to montana, all in search of work, never staying in one place longer than a few months. 

- he doesn’t tell tony that he’s secretly so, so tired of life on the road. doesn’t say how elated he was when he heard someone was looking for a fairly long-term live in farm hand. because that’s something he knew, something he was good at. 

- he also doesn’t tell tony that his heart skipped several beats in a row the second peter laid eyes on him, and that he really wants to work for the gorgeous man in front of him

- it’s finally dark, his coffee cup is long empty and abandoned and peter’s just spilled nearly every single deep dark secret he’s ever had. tony’s closing the windows, and peter makes for the door. he’s taken up enough of this beautiful kind man’s time, he should leave before he stays even further past his welcome

- but tony’s stopping him, blocking him from the door, lightly grabbing his wrist and turning peter to face him fully

- and he’s asking begging pleading  telling peter he should stay, that the spare room upstairs is warm and not going to be used anytime soon. that he still needs a farmhand and, as he sees it, peter’s already here

- secretly, tony can’t stand to see him leave

- he couldn’t handle letting his man this... kid, really, leave. not when tony could provide for him. not when he could feed him until his edges soften and his cheeks round out and his tummy gets squishy. not when he could work him into a sweat outside, watch that paperwhite skin turn a rich tan under the summer sun

- not even when he realizes the sudden care for the orphan in front of him is slowly becoming less familial, less platonic, and more... instinctual. base. greedy. 

- because who better to make sure this kid is looked after than tony? tony, who has work-worn hands and time-softened eyes and cooking skills any bachelor would die for

- it’s honestly not even that shocking to him when peter says yes

- not when he takes his hand off the doorknob and immediately turns, immediately breathes out a “yes, yes of course mr. stark, thank you so much mr. stark, i’ll do whatever you need me to, you’re incredible mr. stark”

- and it all immediately goes to tony’s dick head because fuck, that was not the intended reaction but it was absolutely welcome, what the fuck

- so tony takes him upstairs, gets peter settled in the guest bedroom right across from his own

- and when he goes to bed that night he absolutely does not touch himself while thinking about the barely 20something thats maybe 10 feet away. doesn’t think about what peter said earlier, with tony’s hand wrapped around his wrist

- absolutely doesn’t cum with peter’s name on his lips, biting down on his knuckles so peter doesn’t hear

- and peter absolutely doesn’t cum with three fingers in his ass, tears streaming down his face, listening to the creaking mattress springs and heavy breathing from across the hall. of course he doesn’t

- and of course they don’t get along well. of course not. of course they don’t work together like they’re telepathically connected, not even needing to speak to know what the other is thinking. it’s like peter can read his mind, knowing exactly what needs done when

- but it’s not just tony. peter can tell before anyone else when the farrier needs to be called. when one of the girls is pregnant, even before she starts showing. knows when one of the cattle dogs has a hurt paw without even seeing him. can tell when it’s going to rain, so he knows whether or not it’ll be a good day to cut the alfalfa fields

- it’s a little freaky to be honest but tony doesn’t hate it. it’s really useful with everything on the farm, and it’s... it’s nice. having someone that can so effortlessly understand him. 

- it’s also like peters... totally unaware of it. like he doesn’t even know he knows things he shouldnt know. which blows tony’s mind even more. 

- it kinda turns him on, and he finds himself with his hand around his cock wondering if peter knows he’s getting off thinking about him. like, more than once. maybe even more than once a week. definitely more than once a week. 

- and maybe peters kind of catching on, a little. that maybe his feelings toward his employer/landlord/new friend are shared

- it also doesn’t help that he gets uncontrollably aroused every time tony goes to bed. like. every... single... time...

- peter always knew he was.. attentive. but he didn’t know it would manifest as literally feeling tony’s arousal through the fucking walls

- and it doesn’t help that peter’s filling out. he’s getting darker as the months get warmer, he’s getting significantly more meat on his bones now that he’s eating more and working more

- and it really doesn’t help that tony is getting eyefuls of the half naked ranch hand almost 24/7. it’s really not his fault that peter works better without a shirt on

- and maybe it comes to a head one day. maybe they’re picking up alfalfa bales from one of the fields and they stop to take a break and tony just ,, can’t handle sweaty, tan, barely-a-twink-anymore peter.

- and peter can feel it, with his ,, unique senses, that tony’s watching him. like, a lot. like, way more than normal even 

- so he decides to play it up a bit. he takes his shirt off, he throws his gloves in the bed of the truck and balls the tee in his hands, wiping his face off with it and sighing deeply

- and he knows tony saw that because he could fucking hear tony’s breathing change and he smirks a little bit, because that’s enough confirmation for him to know for sure

- so he looks up, and he meets tony’s eyes, and they’re wild and feral and tony looks like one of the wolves that tried to take out one of their cows last winter - hungry and ready to devour what was in front of him

- and peter just looks at him, a little incredulous, and finally speaks up: ‘you gonna get over here ‘n kiss me, or what?’ - and tony fucking breaks

- he turns the truck off and slams the door when he gets out, grabbing peter by the neck and fucking dragging him against tony’s clothed body

- “do you know what you’ve been doing this whole time?” 

- of course peter does, tony, you fucking moron. he knows and he’s been trying to get you to rip him to shreds, dumbass. you’re just oblivious

- but tony still can’t help but see the tiny young man that walked up on his doorstep those years ago, can’t help but want to protect him and keep him safe and warm and fed 

- so of course tony wanted to go slow, and wanted to be gentle with peter

- but pete was having fucking none of that, because oh my god tony i’m not 19 anymore please just fuck me already and been wanting you for way too long and please tony just--  and he grabs tony’s hand and makes him squeeze even harder

- and it’s hot, and it’s messy, and it’s not even really sex, just them rutting and grabbing and jerking each other off up against the door of tony’s truck, belt buckles undone and jeans just barely tugged down

- and tony’s basking in it, watching peter’s eyes screw shut and his pretty plush lips open and the little ‘aah, nngh fuck, tony’s that push their way from his throat

- and he knows, the second they’re done here, they’re abandoning their work for the day and he’s taking peter back to the house and he’s going to show him what this is like for real, what it means to be touched with intention and love and emotion behind it - not just a quick handjob standing in the hay field

- and he does. he worships peter’s body when they get back to the house

- he kisses every single part of him, nips at the tiny bit of excess fat on his stomach and thighs and hips, relishing in the fact that peter is his, his to take care of, his to keep safe and healthy and happy

- and eventually, the guest room opens up again. peter’s stuff slowly moves into tony’s room. he stops getting paid, but that’s okay

- because why would you get paid to work on your own farm?

[beca-mitchell]

What do you think other ships between Beca/Chloe and the rest of the group would be like? Or how well would each relationship pan out? As in Beca+Aubrey, Beca+Emily, Beca+Stacie… and Chloe+Aubrey, Chloe+Cynthia, etc…

posting under read more because this got lengthy!!

Chloe’s Ships

Chloe/Aubrey: This is my favourite secondary ship. It’s such a good foundation for Bechloe in my opinion, especially in the angsty way. I love imagining that Chloe and Aubrey had some kind of relationship going on in the BBM (”before beca mitchell”) times. I think Chloe and Aubrey’s dynamic would have been stressful, but they cared for each other deeply. And they still do! I think Chloe loved Aubrey hard and loved her fast, while Aubrey’s love kind of built up over time, making the relationship feel very one-sided and eventually Chloe moved on when Aubrey finally figured out her feelings.

Chloe/Stacie: I envision this ship being primarily physical—something that starts off as FWB with the potential to be something more. I think Chloe and Stacie in fanon are typically written very similarly (both very physical and affectionate and forward). In canon, I think Chloe is more passionate and headstrong than Stacie. Stacie has a very laid-back personality (different from Beca’s personality) and I think that’s probably where Chloe and Stacie would clash a little in a relationship. I don’t see this being more than a fling if anything, especially during the Barden Years.

Chloe/Cynthia-Rose: I think there would definitely be mutual attraction. Chloe seems like she’s attracted to good energies and I think C-R would be good for Chloe in the sense that C-R probably wants a stable relationship. If she weren’t canonically married (???), I think I would explore Chloe/CR more because I think it would be interesting. And obviously CR thinks Chloe is hot because she’s a wlw with eyes. In fanon I love that CR might be a confidante for Chloe because I can see her doing that. I think most people think Chloe would talk to CR about any doubts she might have about her sexuality but I think CR seems to have had clear goals/directions in life (see PP2 and PP3) which is good for Chloe. If they actually dated though, I don’t think they’d necessarily last.

Chloe/Emily: I weirdly ship this a lot?? I know, it seems out of the blue, especially for me. It really does feel like cheating on Bechloe though lmao. But I think Chloe/Emily could be cute. It would never happen during Barden, but maybe years down the line. Even past PP3. Chloe working in NY and Emily finishing her MBA or PhD. I think they could use an opportunity to reconnect and maybe discover some attraction there. I think they’re both very optimistic and eager-to-please people so I think their honeymoon phase of a relationship would last a long time. 

Chloe/Flo: Interesting, but I’ve never really considered this. I think Chloe would find Flo cute and would be curious about learning more about her. I don’t know if any attraction would move in both directions though. Flo seems more concerned with getting through school, then building her business. 

Chloe/Lilly: I am sure it happened once in a dream. Both of them dreamt it at the same time.

Chloe/Jessica: I’ve seen a surprising amount of support for this on Twitter?? Like surprising being more than one person shipping this. Which probably has to do with Britt/Kelley if anything. I think Chloe probably showed Jessica affection once and Jessica had a crush for about three seconds.

Chloe/Ashley: Chloe remembered her name and her role in the Bellas a few times, but Ashley doesn’t delude herself into thinking that she has a shot with Chloe.

Beca’s Ships

Beca/Aubrey: This is such a classic UST ship. Like I absolutely understand why people ship this. There’s just so much tension and the sheer angst of breaking Chloe’s heart while we’re it...which leads me to my next point: I think Beca and Aubrey is a ship with a shelf life—it inevitably ends with Beca/Chloe getting together (perhaps similar to Chaubrey). I do think Beca and Aubrey won’t always see eye-to-eye, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad ship. It would make for a super interesting dynamic. They both do some growing up between PP1 and PP2 and I suppose even between PP2 and PP3. We see that Aubrey mellows out somewhat but barely, but Beca is doing her best to be chill. So if they did start dating beyond a drunken hook-up, they would still have a lot of work to do on nurturing their relationship. And no matter what AU, I still hc that Beca and Aubrey, at some point, harbored feelings for Chloe. So we’d have to deal with that too.

Beca/Stacie: I love how Beca and Stacie are typically written in fic, especially their dynamic. So I base a lot of my characterization of Stacie on fanon. I can see them being a hook-up, likely instigated by Beca. While Stacie flirts with pretty much everything, I think she’s more careful about letting it go further when it comes to her friends, but if Beca pushed I think Stacie would accept. This of course does not mean I think Beca would be a top in any way, I think she would find a reason to want to hook up with Stacie. Maybe frustration from work, her family life, Chloe, etc. In terms of this dynamic evolving into a relationship, I’m still unsure where I stand. I think I’ve read too many side Staubrey to really read Stacie as being compatible with anybody but Aubrey (which is unfortunate because the movies and the fandom did such a disservice to CR/Stacie).

Beca/Emily: Okay, I like Bemily to a certain extent, but I don’t actively ship them. I think a lot of the groundwork for this ship comes from Emily’s admiration of Beca and her cheerful, good-natured personality. This is typically seen as a good contrast to Beca’s serious, awkward nature. In terms how well this relationship would pan out if it happened, I think it could work. I think this relationship is a good base for angst, especially if you combine both Beca and Emily’s insecurities—both of them seem to stem from not feeling like they’re good enough. They a pairing that works because they have potential and room to grow, I think. And they’d be a pretty good musical super duo!

Beca/Cynthia-Rose: You know? I think this would be really stable? Like CR, apart from her gambling problem in PP1 and her literal wife in PP2, seems like she’s one of the calmer members of the group. And Beca needs that stability in her life. I feel like Beca would be nervous around CR though, especially if it came to a relationship between them.

Beca/Flo:  I don’t recall them interacting much or at all, so I’m working with close to nothing here. I don’t think Beca and Flo would ever date.

Beca/Lilly: I think Beca likes the quiet she gets with Lilly. She’s seen as fairly affectionate towards Lilly in the movies (though that might be Anna Kendrick/Hana Mae Lee), and Beca is rarely affectionate. It’s hard to fully imagine a romantic dynamic between them but I think they’d both be really into bringing each other food and lil shoulder massages while studying. All without talking much.

Beca/Jessica (or Ashley): Beca could not tell them apart. I don’t think this works out.

[florbexter]

Hi Flor! Can I request basically thara realizing he's a dumbass and is head over heels for frong, but he thinks he's ruined his chance with the whole "nong" thing he said?

Thara really needs to realize he’s a big old dumbass, so thank you for that prompt ^.^ I hope you like it ❤

I would be a fool (to not say I love you) || [AO3 Link]

Thara realized the extent of his actions as he was cleaning the gash on the left forearm of a fierce seven-year-old who had made herself the queen of the playground with a jump from an extremely high tree. The moment he had put antiseptic on the wound his brain had been flooded with an onslaught of memories of the volunteer camp and it had made click.

He froze and stared in horror at his hand, holding the little swab, and for fucks sake he really had said: “We are bro’s, right?”

He had said that. And for what it was worth he hadn’t meant it in the sense of being bro’s more in the sense of wanting to establish that they were close or that he considered them close and wow… he was a big dumbass.

He felt a scrutinizing gaze on him and almost jerked back when he made eye contact with his little patient.

Kids, especially girls, were something else. Thara was convinced that they held the answers to all the questions of the universe in their tiny bodies and that they knew it. Daonua, his little cousin, was the same with her endless questions and a gaze as if she just waited to be big enough to conquer everything. Which was fine with him, but he didn’t want them to know that he, at this moment in time, had a crisis because he was too dumb to get his phrasing right.

“There’s no need for stitches,” he said, and she actually frowned at him, not pleased with his decision. “But we are going to bandage it up.” It lessened the frown a little bit and he used the time to gather all the supplies to get a bit of order into his mind again.

Was this the reason why Frong avoided him?

Okay, it wasn’t like they had interacted a lot before the volunteering camp, their encounters had been coincidences, fate if one wanted to call it that, but they had exchanged numbers and Thara had even deleted all the pictures he had made of a shirtless Frong, with a heavy heart, but he was a gentleman and… he digressed.

He tried to concentrate on his task at hand, but his mind wandered.

How was one clearing up that kind of misunderstanding? Or was Frong on the same page? Did he think of them as platonic as well? What had his face looked like after Thara had said those stupid words? He couldn’t remember!

“All set,” he said and rolled away from the girl to write his treatment in her chart as he heard a short cough and he looked up to see the mother of the girl making little jerky head moves towards her daughter who inspected the bandage. He raised an eyebrow and her moves got jerkier and then he got it.

He cleared his throat and tried to look stern.

“I will prescribe a cream for you to apply on the wound, but the best thing to do is not to jump from high trees, okay?”

She rolled her eyes at him and scoffed.

Yeah… he had no problem with the rotation system of the med students, but he knew already why he wasn’t going to choose paediatrics. He was happier with brain scans.

The weary sigh the mother made before she ushered her daughter out of the room told him all about the success his little speech would have and when he wrote the last words of his report he had to smile.

And then he frowned. And put his head in his hands.

How could someone be such a dumbass? What had gone through his brain when he had said ‘We’re bros, right?’? Nothing probably. More like: Smiley Frong, brain shut-off.

Before he could second-guess his decision, he grabbed his phone and messaged Duen.

‘Do you have Frong’s schedule?’

His cousin answered in seconds.

‘Why should I have Frong’s schedule? He’s studying business management.’

‘Don’t you have access to the schedules via the university intranet? Look it up for me please.’

This time it took some time for Duen to answer.

‘Did you fall on your head? Since when did you graduate? You’re still a university student. You have access as well!’

Thara stared at the message for a moment and then laid his head down on the desk. Maybe a parasite had found its way into his brain, eating away on his brain cells. He certainly caught it when he was at the volunteering camp.

He stepped out of the treatment room to check if he had any more patients for the day but all the other kids in the waiting room had appointments with resident doctors and he quickly hurried past the nurse station to not get caught and made to do paperwork. The lounge for the med students was a little room, furnished with comfy but old couches, a wobbly table in the middle and shelves overflowing with textbooks. They were allowed to rest in the big lounges, which were brighter and bigger and had a couple of computers but for years now this room was favoured by the students. Someone was wrapped up in a blanket and sleeping on the couch so Thara stepped past them to sit down in front of the old and battered computer in the corner. Thara had never seen it turned off and speculated that was on purpose because it may never be able to boot again. The screen flickered, the ventilator did voices that were concerning but other than that the internet connection was fine and Thara logged into the university’s intranet.

It was even easier to get the schedule of the second year BBM students than he thought. Which was why he stood in the front of the business faculty an hour later and made his way to the computer labs where one of Frong’s lessons should end in about ten minutes. And he was nervous. How was he going to approach this?

‘Yo bro, just wanted to let you know I don’t technically think of us as bros.’?

What kind of hole had he dug himself? But it was too late to change his mind and think about this a little while longer. The door to the computer room opened and a bunch of students walked out and because his mouth still hadn’t learned to keep shut during important events he shouted “Frong!” as he saw him walking from the room in the other direction. His body even betrayed him, and his arm was raised for a wave.

Definitely, a brain-eating worm.

Frong stopped and turned around and Thara could see how he froze the moment he saw Thara and the change on his face, only for a millisecond, from surprised to reserved told Thara a lot. For example, the radio silence from Frong since the camp wasn’t because of his busy schedule.

He saw how Frong’s body swayed back, ready to just run away from Thara so he quickly walked up to him.

“Hey,” he said, strangely out of breath.

“Hey,” Frong answered and folded his arms in front of his chest. Which, yes, wasn’t a good beginning to all of this Thara thought.

“Do you have a moment?”, he asked, because it seemed like he needed to be in his most polite form.

“Why?”, Frong asked and his raised eyebrow almost touched his hairline. “Do you want to take me for a ride on your bicycle again?”

Ouch... That kind of hurt.

“Actually, riding your bike regularly will improve your heart and circulatory system and that’s not why I’m here.”

Frong sighed. It was the same annoyed sigh he had given him when Thara had wanted to buy the flowers and he had not missed it. Frong’s defence mechanisms seemed to be all about cutting someone where it hurt.

“I have a moment, what is it?”

Thara didn’t touch Frong. He gestured towards a little corner away from the curious whisper of Frong’s classmates. Frong’s posture was stiff and cold and Thara just wanted the Frong back who would smile at him.

Frong’s arms were still crossed and if annoyance had a face it would be Frong’s.

“It came to my attention,” and maybe it shouldn’t sound like someone had walked into the treatment room and had hit him over the head with the information about him bro-zoning Frong, but he was already talking so he continued, “it came to my attention that I’m a bit of a dumbass.”

Frong’s other eyebrow found its way to his hairline but something like curiosity sparked in his eyes.

“A dumbass?”

“Yes, like a huge dumbass. Things were said that weren’t really things I wanted to say.”

And Thara knew that Frong knew what he was talking about. And Frong’s stance became a bit less hostile.

“I didn’t mean them. I mean, I meant them in the affectionate spirit I thought I got across, which looks like I didn’t.”

Frong squinted at him and Thara felt sweat travelling down the back of his neck. Had he ruined this?

“Affectionate spirit?”, Frong asked and Thara’s heart pounded so hard he felt it in his throat. There was something akin to a smile lurking in the corner of Frong’s mouth and Thara saw how he fought against it but Thara knew he had a foot in the door, and he was going to push.

“Yes. I didn’t think my word would be perceived…”

“No,” Frong interrupted him, “that’s not what is important. Tell me more about you being a dumbass.”

“Big dumbass,” Thara agreed quickly and this time the smile was there. Tiny and cautious but there.

Your dog is not Plott because it’s brindle! Your dog is not part doberman because it’s black and tan! Your dog is not part Dalmatian because it’s black and white!

A white bbm is probably not a dogo argentino, and that little little prick eared dog is more likely a chi mix than a coated xolo.

Dogs come in lots of colors! Mixed breed dogs come in many colors, shapes, and sizes. Your shelter dog probably isn’t mixed with a rare or heavily guarded breed. It’s most likely the most common mix of breeds it looks like, and that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with a good bbm or rat terrier mix. But someone thinking they were able to handle a doberman when they really had a lab/coonhound mix can be detrimental to their breed choice next time.

#personal vent #folks are always asking if they should genetically test theory shelter mutt because they’re sure it’s a rare breed #please do if you’re considering a difficult breed because it’ll be like your easy shelter dog #but don’t be too disappointed that that’s a pit bull right there

[fadingmuse]

hey I'm kinda new to ur blog so sorry if it has already been answered before but I wanna know why u both stopped talking and how long has it been since the last time u interacted, virtually and physically

Hey! It's okay, I actually have never talked about this before because I only want everyone to know the good side of things, but I think it's okay if I share this.

So yeah, we were super close for one and a half years, but in the middle of the second year, he turned distant. I couldn't understand why. He went through these mood swings where one day he's all affectionate and such, and the next he avoids me at all costs. I was devastated.

But then a while later, we sat down together, and he told me that he was gonna resign by the end of my second year. I was heartbroken.

We spent the last couple of months like we used to. Hang out together, chat all day and night, sang each other songs. But I never knew when he was about to quit.

Until one day, he was just gone. I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye.

Just like that, that's it.

I saw him update his bbm profile every now and then, but I never got the courage to contact him. And because I got upset every time he updated, I blocked his contact.

I know it probably wasn't necessary, but I don't regret it one bit. I ended up having the best year of my life.

That year was the time I found MY people. I found myself a group of friends with a lifetime's worth of friendship. I would've never found them if I was too caught up with H all the time. So yeah, I wouldn't change it for the world.

A couple of months after, he suddenly followed me on instagram. I followed him back and that's it.

Flash forward to a couple of years later. He suddenly commented on one of my posts on instagram, I replied. A few weeks after that, I decided to dm him and catch up.

That was about less than a year ago. I haven't talked to him since then. To be honest tho? I'm not sad about it.

We've moved on, we're both comfortable where we are now (At least for me, but I hope he is too). I'm just glad it happened and I got to experience every one of those moments with him. I couldn't even think about going through that with someone else.

It's like that saying,

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

The Livestream (BBM)

Okay, I’ll admit that this isn’t the most original idea. I forget who does all of the BVA prompts (is it @illskarsgard?), but I wanted to do my own take on the idea with my own three guys. This is Bill Skarsgard, Bryan Dechart, and Matthew Gray Gubler. I hope you guys like this soft, fluffy fic. I will be posting it here because I’m not doing all that tagging on Ao3. Also, if you want a great version of this song to listen to while you read... Click Here!

Let me know if you’d like to be added or removed!

It was a rare occasion when they were all gone, but when those days inevitably came, you found yourself with an empty hole in your heart that crushed you. The first one to leave was Bill. He was so highly sought-after that it made it difficult to pin him down in the first place. He hadn't told you much. He had mentioned that Andy Muschietti had another film brewing that he needed to be a part of, no if's, and's, or but's. Then it was Matthew. He had gone to visit his mother in Vegas. It was a trip he took often. You knew that he would be back soon, but you still felt that empty loneliness in your soul without him. His personality was so childish, affectionate, and ever so slightly spooky that it could be addictive at times. The last one to leave was Bryan. He had a convention to attend. He was still riding the high off of his portrayal of the Android, Connor, in Detroit: Become Human. He'd offered to bring you, but the last time you went anywhere with any of the boys, paparazzi had to snap pictures. The first time you were on the cover of The National Enquirer, you cried for a month. Rumors had spread about your unorthodox relationship. People like Perez Hilton were calling you a slut on live television. You couldn't do a thing without someone blogging about it. You were happy that you still had a group of fans that supported your art. Your band wasn't as successful as most, but that was okay. Every day you did an Instagram Live event. You would thank everyone for their support and sing a song or two. It made you happy to see all of the comments from fans. So, with a quick application of makeup (you didn't dare risk people taking screenshots of your makeup-less face), you pushed the button on your phone and went live. You smiled as your fans trickled into the live stream, "Hi everyone!" You waved. Hearts began to ascend the side of the screen along with comments. "I love you!" Many wrote. "Hi, mom!" A few teens jokingly wrote. "Come to Brazil!" You saw a couple of times. You couldn't help but smile more genuinely at the warmth flooding in. You made your way out of the bathroom, cautiously. "Sorry, I just did my makeup, so I'm still in the bathroom." You chuckled. As you moved into your bedroom, you sat on your bed and continued to read comments, thanking your fans for being so kind and supporting you. You brushed off the negative comments that came through. You were good at that, thank goodness. "Where are your boys?" A couple of fans asked. You giggled at your nickname for them. "The boys? Oh, they're just busy." Your complex relationship was common knowledge, but you didn't like going too deeply into it. "Did you guys want to sing today?" A flood of yesses and hearts gave you an affirmative answer. "Let me put on Spotify and see if we can find something fun. What are we in the mood for today? Pop? Rock?" You skimmed through your playlist of instrumentals before finally settling on one that made your heart momentarily skip: Let Her Go by Passenger. The lyrics cycled through your head and instantly burned into that hole in your chest. You knew this had to be the song of the day. "Okay, I've got one." You said, smile fading. You cleared your throat and got serious.

Well you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go

Your eyes closed, and you paused.

"Are you okay, mom?" "Are you crying?" "No, don't cry!" Comments of all kinds flooded in. You weren't crying, but you were sad. You missed your boys. You missed the way they held you close and sang songs with you. You missed the feeling of Matthew's stubble as he kissed your cheek. You missed the way Bryan looked at you with such intense love in his eyes. You missed the way Bill teased and joked with you as a best friend should. You smiled weakly.

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go

You continued, not knowing that someone had crept in the door downstairs. As the gentle melody echoed through the house, the intruder paused to listen. Your voice was enchanting; like an angel. He took the steps slowly, one foot in front of the other as he gripped the railing. He didn't want to alarm you. No, that was the last thing he wanted. When he approached your room, he was relieved to find the door already open. That was less of an opportunity for noise. You had made it through a large chunk of the song by that time, entering into a sort of trance. Singing enraptured your soul. You closed your eyes as you sang, unaware of the man who was creeping up behind you.

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go

You heard a tiny rustling of what sounded like plastic, causing you to start. Your eyes caught a lovely pink-tinged plastic. It was a bouquet. The man who held the bouquet? Your love, Bill. You smiled and jumped up from your seated position, embracing him. It was all caught on camera for the stream to see. You covered him in red kisses as he laughed. "Are you live right now?" He asked. You didn't answer him. You held him close to you, listening to his heartbeat. "I missed you so much." You whispered. "I was gone two days!" He teased, "I wasn't filming, I just had to go talk to..." He glanced at your phone, not wanting to give any insider information, "Anyway, I'm here." "Do you want to finish my video with me?" You asked, knowing he wasn't one for impromptu camera appearances. "Sötis, I'm really tired. I just got off a flight." He ran a hand through your hair as you frowned. "Okay. I'll make you some tea. Just give me a minute, yeah?" You straightened the lapels of his jacket, giving him a quick smile. He sighed in agreement, giving a quick wave to the camera before heading off down the stairs.

"You two are so cute!" "I stan so hard!" "He's so hot wtf!"

You laughed at the comments that poured in as you approached the phone. The music had moved onto a different song, so you paused it. "Okay, guys. I've got a sleepy baby to take care of. You know how it is. Maybe I'll get on later, but I have to go. I'm sorry!" You held your hands in front of you as if in silent prayer, bidding your stream attendees "I'm sorry" and "Goodbye." You turned off the stream, a feeling of calm washing over you. You meant it when you said you were going to make Bill some tea. You hadn't intended on making some for yourself, but you changed your mind. You slowly tip-toed down the stairs, hearing whispering as you crept. "Bill?" You called out, causing an immediate silence. You walked into the kitchen to see both Matthew and Bryan waiting for you, joining Bill with smiles. You ran to embrace them all. "What is all of this?" You asked, almost crying at the sight of the three men you loved more than life itself. "We just wanted to surprise you." Bryan offered, moving a gentle hand to the back of your neck. "That, and my flight got canceled." Matthew laughed, "But you know, maybe this is where we're all supposed to be right now." You embraced them all tightly, not wanting to let them go. Your agreement was silent but very, very loud.

Things Carrie Wore This Week*

*334 weeks ago

PREVIOUSLY ON THINGS CARRIE WORE THIS WEEK: “The Smile” is the real “The Weekend” redux and the real “Redux” redux on account of Carrie kneeing someone in the balls. 

As I mentioned in the last post, Carrie only wears one thing in this episode, which I think is actually pretty great, from a Carrie perspective at least (Brody sending a BBM that saves Abu Nazir’s life is absurd and funny if you just give in to this show being absurdly funny/funnily absurd). 

It’s this green/grey/beige (greinge?) top with those khaki pants and a real heinous pair of brown shoes. Whatever! She looks very pretty in this episode. If I ignore the footwear I’d give it an A-. 

I do think she changes her undershirt (thank God) -- this episode takes place over a weird timeline of somewhere between 2 and 3 days.

So I guess there’s not that much to talk about. But this episode includes some wonderful Carrie moments (Claire acts her ass off, and I love that she gets to play like 400 versions of Carrie in the 45-minute span of the episode). Unsurprisingly, they’re both with Saul. And, for as much as I rag on Saul (and will continue to until he, y’know, owns up to his overall shittiness the last 6-7 years), I can’t deny or deflect that Carrie’s most interesting, affecting relationship over the course of the series is with this man. This confounding, perplexing, infuriating man. Maybe they’re made for each other, in that kind of friendship soulmate way. That kind of way where they’ll just be alone together for the rest of their lives. 

I’m thinking specifically of the scene on the rooftop where Carrie has to convince Saul to trust her. Or, at least, some past version of her that maybe doesn’t exist anymore. Carrie keeps becoming new and different people as this series has gone on. I debate whether it’s like a reverse shedding-of-skin, Carrie growing new layers and bodies on top of each other. Or whether it really is a shedding of skin, peeling of layers, one after one, until we get down to her elemental being, who she is, the very core of her. 

Then there is the scene as they are both waiting patiently by the phone for the Nazir operation to start. Carrie asks quietly why Saul stopped calling and he says he was having a negative outcome on her prognosis, reminding her of work (their work). “Did you ever think we’d be doing this again?” Saul asks. “I hoped,” Carrie says, and she smiles in that self-conscious Carrie way. 

In so many ways these scenes are polar opposites of each other. The first is filled with Carrie’s frantic, anxious, pleading energy. The second is quiet, modest, and the moment becomes filled with things left unsaid--this strange acknowledgement that the universe has brought them together again, maybe for the last time. 

But they’re both rooted in this relationship and in Carrie’s earnest, often misguided, misrepresented, and misallocated desire and push for goodness. I believe this. 

The show has brought us and this character to a lot of uncomfortable, heinous, sometimes downright disgusting places. Places that made us hate and loathe her. I guess some of us remained stuck in that place. Watching this episode and seeing Carrie’s self-conscious, knowing smile when she admits she “hoped” she’d get to do this some day again with Saul, would get to be in the action, make herself useful, do something she believed to be righteous and good and true... it reminded me of this passage from Jacob Clifton’s recap of “Game On,” itself an episode centered around the fucked up soulmate relationship Carrie and Saul entered into together, the bargains they made, the goals and worldview they shared: 

“A round-robin edit goes through the various medical facts, if you're interested: They've titrated her lithium up to 1800mg, she's doing okay in group and crafting, particularly ceramics, she's a Helpful Hannah when it comes to delivering food on the ward, she's a “good example for her fellow patients.” Which we missed, but it's easy to believe. She gives such a shit about people, it's amazing. Maybe her trainwreckiness, her patriotism, her heroism and her compassion all come from this same thing, this lack of ego that allows her to do a job that would have most of us suicidal in three months.” [x]

Some six years later, that passage has stuck with me. I think about it a lot. And I know some of you are probably thinking, “Carrie? Giving a shit about people? HAH!” 

We could all argue for days (literally, we have) about Carrie’s various merits, about what she does actually care about, about her selfishness or selflessness, about her giving a shit or not giving enough of a shit, about how she uses people, how wayward she’s gone, how she’s not a good enough this or that. But I’m not really in the business anymore of convincing people that my Carrie journey is theirs or convincing myself that theirs is mine. 

The most I can do now is give you all insight into what this character has meant to me, how I see her and why, in all the 400 and counting ways that she is. 

IN CONCLUSION:
