beauty of the divorce quartet actually is that no matter where you draw the relationship lines you get a fun and fucked up dynamic to think about

#random thoughts #personally --> #martyn/cleo are mirrors of eachother and the most likely to salvage an actual healthy relationship out of the mess theyre in #BUT canonically they're just divorced obvs #scott/pearl have whatever megamind and metro man have going on if it was soundtracked to therefore you and me #scott/martyn is just straight up toxic yaoi. using eachother cus they can't get their exes back #cleo/pearl are a weird blend of scorn and pity for eachother. they think they understand eachother but never really do. u get me. #scott/cleo would get married for tax purposes. real birds of a feather. i would totally poison you for your fortune lol haha jk unless.... #martyn/pearl could be best friends honestly if it wasn't for the whole thing. i think they'd set things on fire together and think its funn #my art #<-- kind of i guess

Was talking about Star Trek with my parents cuz we’re lame, and I brought up Spirk cuz I’m infinitely more lame, and my nearly seventy-year-old father said “if anyone was *makes vague gesture*, it was Bones and Spock”

#“they bicker like a married couple #i mean so true but why would you think that without any prompting #god this sounds like the parents stop being homophobic cuz of johnlock thing #i promise it’s real it’s literally midnight as I’m typing this cuz I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep unless I got it out #like he says out of pocket shit all the time this one is particular just through me for a loop #and the spirk thing was semi-related to the conversation #i promise I don’t just bring up ships from media my parents had as children out of the blue #star trek #star trek tos #tos #spirk #spones #god i straight up forgot the ship name i for a second i though it was McCock

all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults

you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something

#yeah i have netflix on all day #i am quite literally signed off of work for the -rest of my life- #what the fuck else would you like me to do with my time when most people are in fact at work #or did you think i can't have the tv on and put laundry away at the same time or something #must i work on commissions on silence in a dour room to be perceived as an adult #anyway 'looking after yourself/your home/your pet' is not observable #to anybody who doesn't like ACTUALLY live in your house #unless you are extremely obviously NOT doing it #if a tree falls in a forest etc #owning a house? job. like not even 'in this economy? lol' #disabled people LITERALLY can't because we aren't allowed to have enough savings for a deposit #car? would you honestly trust me with a vehicle lol but also: job #you mostly cannot buy a car without one it's a requirement for the lease #otherwise you aren't 'trusted' to pay it on time #incidentally most landlords will also - perfectly legally - refuse to rent to you because you are going to be unreliable with the rent #which is being paid directly by the gov anyway like take your trust issues up with them bro #a family? if i get married or cohabit with a partner my income gets sliced in half #so to support even myself let alone a child would require. drumroll please. employment #savings? adults have savings right? yeah but unlike you i have a gov enforced cap on mine #'good furniture not shit from ikea' (someone has remarked that ikea furniture is 'college dorm-y' it's going here) #i mean do i have to say it

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

#greenteacup asks #sidebar: I know Minister “of” Magic is an Americanism but mea culpa #Someday I might actually bite it and pay someone to britpick Lionheart but I can't do it now #because I have a ban on editing published fic unless it's finished. Otherwise I'll never get around to writing the actual ending #I have a Process #is it the best process? likely not! but it makes the words go. so here we are. #I also think the fact that JKR is Gen X makes a difference here. careers worked differently in the 80s and 90s than they do now #i.e. we have the gig economy and a lot more mobility and EXPECTATION of mobility in your early life #that means career changes & professional pivots through your 20s and 30s are increasingly normal #and in fact have always been normal — but the image of the 'true' or 'ideal' career has changed #so we look at those careers and go hm. really? none of them changed? #none of them even went to uni? do wizards... just not? #but again. I believe the epilogue was written almost completely without consideration as to what happened between the BOH and then #I really believe that JKR did not know what happened to Harry except a wedding and 3 kids. because that was the whole point #I don't think she even knew what his career was when she wrote that scene #It existed to marry everyone off and do a quick munchkin headcount #because of the understandable temptation as an author to keep your hand on the wheel. but it didn't even matter! #the epilogue changed NOTHING! it was the most useless chapter in the series! I just — GOD #you can absolutely accuse me of being sour grapes about my ships getting nixed. I AM sour grapes. I AM a hater. #AND I have plot/theme/craft reasons for disliking it. #I'm not objective. I just want credit for being a sophisticated hater. my grapes may be sour but they're still artisinal.

me after attempting to get back into sims and realizing i had a lot more to do than play the game

#hi everyone #I’m going around hugging you all #okay now that we are gathered here today #i will simply acknowledge that i have been gone for a very long time and then also acknowledge that maybe it was for the best #i relied on sims to be my only creative activity even if i tried to write a book at the same time #and also. i prioritized sims over real life responsibilities. that’s just a deadly combination lol #but I recently noticed I just replaced sims with Netflix. with YouTube. with anything that gave me quick dopamine #literally became addicted in a sense. still am but I’ve been cut cold turkey from most everything #I get off work and go. okay I’ve done the dishes and the laundry……..I could read or write or bake…. #I try to write and sometimes i get a good hour #then I read for a few hours and then get tired of it #and I made cookies Tuesday so I’m waiting for those to be gone before baking again #I’m just so pitiful that I feel BORED and don’t know what to do #so I said….. okay what if I do sims for an hour. #I downloaded some new cc Tuesday and tried to play yesterday #y’all ……………….. I can’t find the energy anymore to set up elaborate scenes and pose my sims and plan posts #I said wow… this is boring without my intervention and fake story #I said wow…….. all this for what? for tumblr? yes I created cool things and provided joy. but is that inherintly important compared to my #own joy? my own everyday activities I should be doing? #y’all I do not leave the house unless we got out to eat or shop or travel to our parents #.. I have little desire to. I’m trying to find that desire #but my husband is busy with grad school and work and I don’t want to do anything by myself #I’ve found myself in one heck of a slump #I didn’t want to be human for awhile. just had no desires no interests no ambitions #I was slacking off SO HARD at work. I just had no drive to do well #I’m still working on it. I’m still trying to get caught up. I’m still trying to force myself to move every day. #but I am struggling y’all. and I can tell you that sims… sims isn’t helping rn but I want it to so bad. I want to get back into it #I didn’t mean to disappear on everyone. I got married and then life got busy and then I fell into this hole of nothing #I didn’t even WANT to crawl my way out. but my husband has helped a lot. I feel like such a child!!!! #I reached max tags. 🙃 bye love you all. till next time

your last post abt icemav vs. interior design has me cry laughing and also makes me want to ask: how does rooster (millennial gay man, fairly good at being open about his sexuality in comparison to the the environment he came from) feel about being one-uped in the gay department constantly by Mr. and Mr. Can’t Talk About It?? like him and jake have to have conversations about it [jake, meeting ice the first time: oh this is the gayest man i’ve ever met. he had everyone fooled for thirty years???? // bradley: “yeah but you didn’t have to grow up with him. i was on the front lines.] like—they were willing to get married at the same time as icemav as a distraction, so they have to be aware of how groundbreaking icemav is to the structural appearance of the Navy. but they’re also fully immersed in Navy culture and customs, so are civilian gay people even surprised??? do they care??? or is everyone collectively reading through twitter like “gay men in navy? okay fork found in kitchen 🙄 who cares.”

this is all just a long way for me to ask if icemav is easier to pick up on/less surprising if you’re gay. bradley clocked them early because he was in close quarters with them constantly, but he’s also gay—in comparison, slider knew ice for years, but only added it up when it was way too obvious to ignore. and to other straight people they seem to be at an Ethan Hunt level of undercover, but are they really??? (this is kind of a dumb question so feel free to do whatever you want with it lol)

see i feel like i haven’t been writing them very obviously clockingly gay at all! i actually feel like it would piss Jake and bradley off how STRAIGHT ice & mav act all the time!

1st excerpt from post-marriage, second excerpt from a scene that got deleted from WWGATTAI chapter 9, wherein compacflt ice approves the promotion of a fictional “first female admiral to be married to another woman” and then runs into her at a DOD Xmas party and chats about gay marriage for a bit out of curiosity… (deleted bc chapter 9 was already 9.5k words) like it is still a secret even if they aren’t actively trying to keep it secret anymore

but you’re right hold on. here’s christmas 2017

#fork found in kitchen killed me btw i screamed out loud #ice isn’t outwardly gay except in all the ways that he is #like i feel like the pacific fleet staff all kind of assume he’s asexual and ‘married to his work’ a la Sherlock #until he becomes secnav & everyone reads up on him again & learns OH SHIT HES MARRIED TO A BLOKE OMG THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE #i feel like they’re really still straight-passing unless you get them in the same room where they can be themselves & not navy facsimiles #and then #oh yeah. that boy is gay. and i really believe that. #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #asks #top gun maverick #bradley rooster bradshaw #even another gay admiral couldn’t clock him! #no civilian gay people don’t care #that meme of the gay b-52 dropping bombs on another country #warhawks are warhawks whether gay or straight #or so the rationale might be #LOVE the big gay b-52 #as ive written about on this blog elsewhere

Hate when I start writing something that is, technically, cute, but then immediately starts to feel out of character/contradictory to what I already wrote

#listen. this is about the sm au #cause i decided that in twi'leki culture saying i love you out loud is something that you don't do often romantically #unless you're married #which is fine because there's also the lekku sign for i love you! so kanan would know that hera loved him too when he said it! #BUT NOW #I'M IN SEASON THREE #AND HE CAN'T KRIFFING SEE IT #how pray tell do i write around this? #part of me is thinking 'oh well hera would say i love you! she'd know that he can't see it and want to express it to him' #plus she'd know that humans have different traditions so not saying before marriage is a liiiiiiiiiittle impractical maybe? #but then. it's kinda. starting to seem like an analogy for something else #in a way that i don't particularly like #because if i keep writing it the way i am i'm taking the side i wouldn't want to take personally #SO IT'S KINDA WACK OKAY #I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO #because hera and i hate hate hate hate the fact that kanan can't see her say i love you anymore #like seriously. i realized it the other day and it physically hurt #but i also know that kanan wouldn't want her to do something that was (to her) wrong just for him #but SHE DOES LOVE HIM SO MUCH OKAY IT'S COMPLICATED #ugh #i hate it when this happens

always pisses me off when people call a very obviously queer work "queerbait" just bc the main duo doesn't kiss or fuck on screen. or bc there's more heavy focus on a plot than on romantic scenes. like maybe you should eat more walnuts i hear they improve brain function and intelligence

#keri chats #brought to you by me remembering all the people who call jeweler richard BL bait #the 2nd case involves a lesbian struggling with internalized comphet + protag ON SCREEN thinks about how much easier he has it as a man. bc #he never once questioned or agonize over his own attraction to women. then the girl he likes comes out as aro/ace and he supports her #protag starts crying at the idea of his current male partner getting married and having kids with their ex #and realizes he wouldn't be reacting that way unless he seriously loved them #very queer very queerplatonic. always together influencing and helping each other. and you call it BAIT??? get out of my fucking house #ok to rb

from ch 11 because this is my favorite part 🥰 

Eddie’s asleep on the couch in the same clothes he was wearing when he said goodbye to Buck yesterday morning. The TV is on but frozen in a screen that reads, “Are you still watching?” There’s an empty plastic container on the coffee table with a spoon sticking out of it. At one point it held food that was made for them by someone attached to the 118. There are also two of the game controllers, all the remotes, three empty water bottles, an almost empty beer bottle, a bowl of popcorn that’s maybe half eaten, and one of the murder mystery novels Eddie’s been into lately with a bookmark placed about three quarters of the way through it. Eddie’s phone is on the floor beside him, his hand and arm dangling off the sofa nearby. 

Buck moves carefully and leans over him until he can run a hand over Eddie’s arm. Eddie doesn’t budge and Buck almost feels bad for waking him, but it looks like his head and neck are at an awkward angle and he’s already been tense and sore from weeks at the hospital. Or maybe from everything. He really should be sleeping in his bed. 

Their bed? 

Buck bends down further, whispers his name, but when that doesn’t work, he could shake him gently? Or be louder? Eddie isn’t usually a very heavy sleeper unless he’s absolutely exhausted and crashes. But Buck could also— he doesn’t know why he thinks of it. He doesn’t know why he can’t think anything else. Except for the whole “desperately in love with him” thing. But instead of any other way he might wake Eddie, he leans in closer and places a kiss on the curve of Eddie’s cheek almost exactly where he did before he left. 

As if it is a magical, spell-breaking occurrence, Eddie makes a soft sound and blinks his eyes open. 

Buck moves back a little but rubs Eddie’s arm again and greets him softly, “Hey.”

Eddie stares for only half a second, the groggy attempt at comprehension vivid on his face before he reaches. He reaches and grips and Buck sinks to the floor, falls to his knees in front of the couch until he’s held tightly in Eddie’s arms. 

Eddie’s hands dig into him. He makes more soft, relieved, contented sounds and sighs, “Buck,” in a way that makes Buck want to burst into tears. 

He aches. God, Buck aches with how Eddie clutches him and presses his face against Buck’s neck and just holds on like he needs nothing else in the world. He keeps his voice low and soft, soothing, as he strokes Eddie’s hair and keeps him close. “You okay, sweetheart?” He almost curses himself for the slip because he probably shouldn’t and he doesn’t usually. There’s just nothing else that feels right or sufficient. 

If Eddie cares or even notices, he doesn’t call attention to it. He just nods a little, but sounds ragged when he says, “Missed you.” 

Okay. Okay, how can Buck not cry? He’ll cry about anything, he’ll admit it, but this? This is so much. “I missed you, too.” 

It’s been barely more than twenty-four hours, and it was a good twenty-four hours and Buck does really, really love, thoroughly completely astronomically love his job. But fuck, does he also never want to be apart this long ever again.

think I've figured out what bugs me so much about Natasha Pulley's work - every female character who could potentially interfere with the ~gay couple~ is portrayed in a negative light

#there's something else about it that bugs me too. like. something about her depiction of history... #i started the kingdoms and im trying to puzzle out why it's not really working for me #also i swear this author KEEPS GIVING HER GAY CHARACTERS WIVES for NO REASON #she literally just wants to portray the wives as bitches #but like. WHY ADD THEM?? WHY MAKE ALICE JOE'S WIFE??? #she did that and then immediately went 'well alice is a rapist and a bad mother then!!' like girl. you could have just made them like #co-inhabitants of this house. and not married. and Lily could be related to Joe in some other way if you NEED a kid... #idk. im still bitter about pepperharrow lol where the eofe finally started being treated like a human and not a fucking chess piece #and then killed herself for her husband basically. SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE. THERE WERE A TON OF SOLUTIONS!! #but no. we can't have sweet baby Mori having a wife after he ran away to England to live with his gay lover nooooooo #WHY EVEN MAKE HIM MARRIED JUST SO YOU CAN KILL HIS WIFE OFF. SHE COULD'VE BEEN HIS HOUSEKEEPER OR SMTH #this has gotten away from me. I just don't like it tho. #if there were any female characters that were portrayed positively though and not treated like a Threat to the Gay I'd feel better #but there aren't so far #unless you count the absentee Madeline #the only female character treated well so far is Joe's daughter Lily and she's two
