And so Pacific Rim passes from futuristic sci-fi to alternate historical fiction...

We were at a family get together last night and there was a group photo being taken with the 'women' of the family. And T (age 7) went 'Kit! You're in the photo too, it's all the girls!'

And before I even had a chance to say 'Well I'm not actually a girl'... T's mum (my partner's cousin) took him aside to have a quiet chat about it. She hadn't even hesitated to step in and help educate her son.

I overheard her reminding him about the book 'My Shadow is Purple' and how some people aren't boys or girls, but neither or both.

I choked up from both gratitude that she saw the opportunity to talk to T about it AND the fact they'd obviously already read him books featuring nonbinary characters as a learning tool.

Afterwards, I told my partner what happened and they hadn't read 'My Shadow is Purple', so I read it to them this morning over breakfast and I barely got 2 pages in before crying with joy. By the end, we were both crying.

Kids books featuring LGBTQA+ themes are SO SO SO important for ALL kids to read. It's important for queer kids to see themselves represented, but it's also important for kids to learn about how other people might navigate the world differently than they do.

New fans coming into it with little home garden plots, maybe a few little HCs in pots tenderly cared for. Looking out over the vast fields worried they won't belong, they'll be out of place with their little starter crops and early ideas.

Sage old farmer comes up and embraces them, "so glad to meet you, love! Come and sit with me- we're watching the sun come up."

One of those fandom things that I love is when there’s new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go “Aye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.” And everyone else just “aye.”

Crying bc the events of Pacific's Rim are literally happening right now. January 8 was the day Mako and Raleigh fought those kaijus in the Hong Kong double event. January 12 is the triple event where they close the breach. In two days we cancel the apocalypse.

(gripping the skink with both hands, pale and feverish, sweating and shaking as I look at myself in the mirror) “killing a character is a valid writing choice that can be a crucial plot mechanic and lend beauty and depth to the story as a whole” (wretches up blood into the sink) “even when it’s my favorite character”

Soap gets Ghost a blanket with little ghosts on it right before Halloween as a pisstake, and he's positive that Ghost just tosses it in a corner somewhere and leaves it.

Until they start touching tips on the regular, and Soap decides to bother him one morning on base when they have fuck all else to do because he's bored and a little horny.

So, he finds himself outside of Ghost's door and just lets himself in instead of knocking because he's like that and instead of finding an angry 'built like a brick shithouse' man glaring at him angrily, he finds a very asleep Lieutenant in his bed. Ghost is sprawled out, hair sticking up at every angle, and Soap can hear him snoring quietly, but what he really cares about is the fact that Ghost has a death grip on the corner of the ghost blanket and the rest of it is under him.

Soap would wake him if it weren't for the fact it's the most peaceful he's ever seen the man, and Ghost is drooling onto the blanket where his face is smushed on it. Suddenly, Soap is overcome with this warm fuzzy feeling in his chest, and it hits him like a truck. He isn't content, just banging his lieutenant. Nope, he wants Ghost. All of him. He wants to wife up his lt.
