I was wondering, does the MC get an allowance or do they just have a shared bank account with R that they have complete access to? How are the MC and R as spenders? I know you said you wouldn’t do specific vices but MC having some sort of shopping addiction, where they just impulsively buy stuff could be interesting and it could be a point of conflict unless R doesn’t care about that stuff. I’m sorry, I’ve been trying to refrain from asking too many questions, but I’m super excited for this IF 😅 tell me if I’m being annoying!

they have access to R's finances! R isn't much of a big spender but they're known to splurge on instruments and random things they become obsessed with.

their agent cares about their spending, however, and is against mc having full access to their money which does become a point of conflict, just not between R and mc themselves (at first anyway). mc as a whole is being tolerated by the team surrounding R and the band, and that becomes fairly obvious with time.

I do agree that a shopping addiction could be fun to explore however. I think I'll give the vices another thought but I at first shot that idea down bc the mc at the beginning is already indulging in the drugs and alcohol and anything else their lifestyle has to offer with the option to try to become better.

and feel free to ask how much you want! I always enjoy getting asks that could be story related in some way :)

One time in my early 20s I got really drunk at a party where someone handed me a stein full of what turned out to be moonshine from a barrel in some guy's garage and said "try this it tastes like pie" and a) it DID taste like pie, but b) only on the way down, not on the way back up, given it was something like 120 proof -- so my memories of the next couple hours are very vague but involve a bunch of ex-football players from South Boston walking me around the block in circles handing me bottled water trying to sober me up, and eventually because I was too shitfaced to get home but no longer puking my guts up and dying I crawled into the back of my car to sleep it off in a sleeping bag I kept there; but there was a guy at the party who was also sleeping in his car and this was Boston in the fall so it was like 40ºF out at night and anyway this other guy I met at this party who was a middle aged mercenary from liverpool who had served in the french foreign legion or something ended up knocking on my car door asking if he could huddle with me for warmth and I said yeah okay but there's only room for me in the sleeping bag so don't be weird about it, and to his credit he was not weird and we just slept in my car and in the morning he asked if I wanted brekkie and bought me dunkin donuts while I nursed the worst hangover I have ever had in my life then or since and trying to figure out whose heavy metal hoodie I was wearing and how I managed to leave this party with more clothing than I arrived in.

So if someone singing pirate shanties hands you a stein of mysterious liquid and tells you it tastes like pie, probably don't chug that shit.

ok. years have passed and we've had some distance, so i'm finally gonna take the leap of faith that tma fandom is finally ready to hear me on this. let's talk about tannins.

161 was the first tma episode i heard on early release, and i felt the bit where martin declines wine and cites tannins was pretty obvious in its implications. cool, got it, say no more.

imagine my surprise when i was one of maybe three people i saw read between the lines there, in a fandom famous for red stringing--a fandom that immediately caught the much less obvious thread of ignition sources in the same episode. i'll spell it out: alcohol is an issue for martin.

maybe it just felt obvious because addiction is a pet issue for me--as it is for jonny, who has said everything he writes is filtered through a lens of addiction. i don't know if that's due to his own experience or a loved one's, and i won't speculate; i also don't know if martin personally struggled with drinking or just avoids it for fear he would, but alcohol would fit what we know of his family. his dad walking out and his mum spiralling into bitter wallowing and verbal abuse? i'd bet one or both of them drank, yeah.

on a basic level martin tries to decline alcohol, and that alone should have raised eyebrows given what we know of martin and, again, a fandom that dissects everything. we already knew martin "K" blackwood lied about his personal life and his family in particular, especially pre-canon, which is when this flashback took place. i was shocked that everyone took his flimsy excuse at face value with no further questions.

and the excuse is flimsy. martin turns down wine by--nervously--exclaiming tannins are "a proven headache trigger!" which sounds like trivia from a magazine cover and not the words of someone who actually has headaches--and it hasn't come up before or since. jon, confused, points out that tea, a drink martin consumes to a degree that is memetic both in- and out-of-universe, also contains tannins, and martin squawks a panicked, "what?!"

if tannins are enough of a concern for martin that he knew they're in wine and so avoids it, why didn't he know they're in his drink of choice? why does he still drink tea at the time of canon, and why doesn't he struggle with constant headaches from consuming 'a proven headache trigger' day in and day out? why, indeed, would someone avoid wine and not tea?

when sasha insists martin drink he caves and agrees to 'just a drop'. i imagine him pouring it in a plant, which admittedly he could have done if tannins really were the issue. i will say that i, for one, would be less likely to falsely agree to something that makes me physically ill than to a private issue that i'd rather not be pressed on any further. this scene also establishes martin's birthday was an ice cream party instead of the more traditional visit to a pub.

also, this scene was in the first episode of the final season, as one of three flashbacks that could have been to any pre-canon event in the archives. prime narrative real estate. not really time one would waste on establishing the important character context that martin has... headaches. which never comes up before or after, even regarding the week he spent in spiral town. but you know what is pretty crucial character background...?

it felt like a no-brainer, and yet all i saw was h/c fluff about jon attending to martin's headaches. and i hate feeling bitter about disability representation. i want folks with chronic headaches to feel seen and have fluffy escapist fantasies. i don't want to be mad about people portraying a character with a disability. but, guys? you got the wrong disability. jonny sent a clear message, and it went over fandom's head.

does R feel guilty for any of the actions they did to MC?? The angst between them :(

R my dearest beloved (me 🤝 my mc on loving R regardless and being a desperate fuck for them despite everything)

somewhat! they're mostly so numb from all the drugs and alcohol and the constant go go go, very little breaks through. once they sober up however... well, that's gonna be interesting!

Oh, I see you, honey. I see you out in the bar, drinking by yourself with an aura of loneliness around you. I hear you sigh as you wake up and realize you have to work today. I see you in passing, leaning on your cart at the grocery store. I hear you mumble about how you hate your life. I see you, I hear you, I want you, and one day I'll have you.

You'll never see it coming. I'll walk into the bar and sit beside you, starting up a nice little conversation as you and I both drink. You'll giggle as I joke with you, you'll squirm as I tease you. You'll get up to go to the washroom, the last time you'll ever see a toilet. And while you're saying goodbye to your potty privileges, I'll slip some happy medicine into your drink.

You'll finish your drink under my supervision, becoming giggly and air-heared as your medicine takes effect. I'll help you out of the bar, and right into my car. I'll take you home and get you all settled in on the couch. You'll be desperately horny at this point, a perfect time to introduce you to what will soon be your favorite garments- diapers. I tape you in, nice and snug. I know it'll be full in no time at all.

You wake up the next morning, chained into a crib with a leaky diaper and a big pacifier in your mouth. You struggle, and you glare at me as I arrive. I change your diaper with a loving smile, introducing myself as your new Mommy. As you kick and squirm, I grab a bottle of milk, also known as your happy drink, forcing it into your mouth after removing your pacifier.

You have no choice but to drink, and along with the milk, you're taking your next dose of medicine. You'll become docile and diaper dependent in no time at all thanks to these little happy drinks. You won't just be accepting of your diapers, you'll learn to love the feeling of that warm, squishy, swollen padding between your legs. You won't be able to make cummies without that feeling, which is just how Mommy likes it.

Your glares and screams won't last very long. Mommy takes good care of you. She changes your diapers, breastfeeds you, gives you your medicine, spanks you when you're naughty, holds you when you're sad. She brings you all sorts of little gifts whenever she goes on her adult ventures, whether that be a plushie, a coloring book, or a new toy for your special playtime with Mommy.

Soon, Mommy will be your sun, your moon, your stars. She'll be your entire world. Don't worry, sweetie. She's coming...
