god I just. love ruthlessness as a character trait so much. sexy sexy sexy

[jinsai-ish]

PLEASE tell me more about bonnefoy boys!!! omg that's my jam

So the original plot post is here: https://www.tumblr.com/jinsai-ish/747778502121635840/ok-but-fac-family-fruk-potential-instead-of?source=share

But yeah, so I'm in love with Francis as the twins' father. For this, basically their mother passed away when they were young. Francis is in fashion, think Devil Wears Prada. Gives his sons the best money can buy but emotionally distant since their mother died. He's obsessed with appearances.

The boys attend a very prestigious private school. They were pretty much raised by nannies. Everyone is kind of enamored of them, but they don't have any real friends. They both love their father and have this stewing resentment.

Arthur runs a music shop, everything from electric guitars to violin resin, which is how he meets the Bonnefoy family.

I haven't quite figured exactly how Francis and he get together but it starts as just a hookup. Having been there, he picks up in what's going on with the boys and starts to bond with them. He teaches Alfred guitar. He tries to help Matthew channel his rage in positive ways. Alfred and Francis have a huge blowout when Alfred wants to quit classical and get into rock instead. Arthur eventually makes him see what he's been doing to his kids and he's horrified to realize that they've been following in his footsteps in all the wrong ways. Basically wraps up with Arthur and Francis officially boyfriends, Francis has stepped back from work to spend time with his kids, and there's a cute little scene with him cooking for all of them and just generally being family.

No sexy scenes I don't think. More family drama and angst and happy ending, with things not perfect but a lot better.

I want to at least write a little snippet with the boys, people observing them from the outside. The rest will depend on life and a lot of other things. But I'm definitely a proponent of FAC family, and think there should be more of it.

I love how Tsukasa is about to throw hands and Rui's like "honey, chill".

And then 30 seconds later is delivering scathing insults just barely cloaked as pleasantries in the most manipulative and sinister manner.

I love that man.

I also love how frickin tall he is.

Damn .. I think I have a type.

So, WIP is probably a GROSS exaggeration considering how little exists of most of these besides the concept in my head, but here goes. All Hetalia.

1. "Dette" - Seurte and Plegge-verse prequel. Original (Seurte) was created by The GoliathBeetle, I wrote Plegge as a tribute/sequel.

2. "Barrel Straps" - bootlegger Matt and Al, immigrant squad (Romano, Lithuania, Ireland) on hiatus because it's got too many bits that I'm using for another WIP and I want them more for the other so we're going to see what we do with that.

3. "All of Us Monsters" - not the title for the work but it IS the title for the little epilogue I want to do if I get there. Um, it's anon but I will admit that it's omegaverse CanAme, so that might give it away. I have ideas for a few little spin-offs from the main story. So I guess we can call this a 'verse.

4. "Shaggy Dog Christmas" - I did a little movie poster mashup for this. I'd like to actually write it, or at least a bit of it someday.

5. "Bonnefoy Boys" - NOT the actual title but planned FAC family, Matthew and Alfred are Francis' twin sons. Perfect on the outside, but the inside is a hot mess. Possibly FrUK if I can bring myself to get over my ScotFra love enough for it.

wip folder game!

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIP

Not a particular food but more a style: I HATE the stereotypical plating in the US. Like, I don't know if I can even describe it well. It's the one meat, two sides. Which can be okay but so many times there's no cohesion.

I want my food Incorporated dammit! Soup, stews, stir fry, salads, pasta dishes, curries with rice or naan, hot pots, sushi, tamales, empanadas, omelettes... Roll those goodies up in a carb with sauce. If they do have to be separate, make them flow together. Have something that unites them.

Don't just slab a random protein and two vegetables down and call that a meal.

UGH.

What’s a food from your culture that u HATE #hatersonly

I want to step away from the art-vs-artist side of the Gaiman issue for a bit, and talk about, well, the rest of it. Because those emotions you're feeling would be the same without the art; the art just adds another layer.

Source: I worked with a guy who turned out to be heavily involved in an international, multi-state sex-slavery/trafficking ring.

He was really nice.

Yeah.

It hits like a dumptruck of shit. You don't feel stable in your world anymore. How could someone you interacted with, liked, also be a truly horrible person? How could your judgement be that bad? How can real people, not stylized cartoon bogeymen, be actually doing this shit?

You have to sit with the fact that you couldn't, or probably couldn't, have known. You should have no guilt as part of this horror — but guilt is almost certainly part of that mess you're feeling, because our brains do this associative thing, and somehow "I liked [the version of] the guy [that I knew]", or his creations, becomes "I made a horrible mistake and should feel guilty."

You didn't, loves, you didn't.

We're human, and we can only go by the information we have. And the information we have is only the smallest glimpse into someone else's life.

I didn't work closely with the guy I knew at work, but we chatted. He wasn't just nice; he was one of the only people outside my tiny department who seemed genuinely nice in a workplace that was rapidly becoming incredibly toxic. He loaned me a bike trainer. Occasionally he'd see me at the bus stop and give me a lift home.

Yup. I was a young woman in my twenties and rode in this guy's car. More than once.

When I tell this story that part usually makes people gasp. "You must feel so scared about what could have happened to you!" "You're so lucky nothing happened!"

No, that's not how it worked. I was never in danger. This guy targeted Korean women with little-to-no English who were coerced and powerless. A white, fluent, US citizen coworker wasn't a potential victim. I got to be a person, not prey.

Y'know that little warning bell that goes off, when you're around someone who might be a danger to you? That animal sense that says "Something is off here, watch out"?

Yeah, that doesn't ping if the preferred prey isn't around.

That's what rattled me the most about this. I liked to think of myself as willing to stand up for people with less power than me. I worked with Japanese exchange students in college and put myself bodily between them and creeps, and I sure as hell got that little alarm when some asian-schoolgirl fetishist schmoozed on them. But we were all there.

I had to learn that the alarm won't go off when the hunter isn't hunting. That it's not the solid indicator I might've thought it was. That sometimes this is what the privilege of not being prey does; it completely masks your ability to detect the horrors that are going on.

A lot of people point out that 'people like that' have amazing charisma and ability to lie and manipulate, and that's true. Anyone who's gotten away with this shit for decades is going to be way smoother than the pathetic little hangers-on I dealt with in university. But it's not just that. I seriously, deeply believe that he saw me as a person, and he did not extend personhood to his victims. We didn't have a fake coworker relationship. We had a real one. And just like I don't know the ins-and-outs of most of my coworkers lives, I had no idea that what he did on his down time was perpetrate horrors.

I know this is getting off the topic, but it's so very important. Especially as a message to cis guys: please understand that you won't recognize a creep the way you might think you will. If you're not the preferred prey, the hind-brain alarm won't go off. You have to listen to victims, not your gut feeling that the person seems perfectly nice and normal. It doesn't mean there's never a false accusation, but face the fact that it's usually real, and you don't have enough information to say otherwise.

So, yeah. It fucking sucks. Writing about this twists my insides into tense knots, and it was almost a decade ago. I was never in danger. No one I knew was hurt!

Just countless, powerless women, horrifically abused by someone who was nice to me.

You don't trust your own judgement quite the same way, after. And as utterly shitty as it is, as twisted up and unstead-in-the-world as I felt the day I found out — I don't actually think that's a bad thing.

I think we all need to question our own judgement. It makes us better people.

I don't see villains around every corner just because I knew one, once. But I do own the fact that I can't know, really know, about anyone except those closest to me. They have their own full lives. They'll go from the pinnacles of kindness to the depths of depravity — and I won't know.

It's not a failing. It's just being human. Something to remember before you slap labels on people, before you condemn them or idolize them. Think about how much you can't know, and how flawed our judgement always is.

Grieve for victims, and the feeling of betrayal. But maybe let yourself off the hook, and be a bit slower to skewer others on it.
