#I have no idea what that longest tag is for

Knock, Knock

Dearest Tumblrs,

I know I have been MIA for the longest of times, but I haven’t left y’all yet. My father died 46 days ago. I’m still processing that, still getting used to the presence of his absence. I have spent the majority of 2024 caring for two parents while holding down a full-time job; differentiating between sickness and illness, conditions and diseases, and watching a loved one fall into an invincible decline and eventually succumb to the inevitable.

I have never experienced profound loss before, and it is a hurt unlike any other I have ever experienced. I thought because I was there, I saw it unfolding in real time 24/7 that I would be prepared when the time came.

I was not. I never was.

I’m still grieving, still reeling from the sucker-punch that is death, still tiptoeing around a landmine of emotions, all while being a productive employee and dutiful daughter and caretaker to my remaining parent.

I don’t sleep well (and haven’t for over a year), listening for bumps and cries in the night and waiting to hear my name called because I’m needed. I don’t go out unless it’s to run errands: grocery store, car maintenance, pick up prescriptions. I spend 9 hours at a paid job (forgoing my lunch hour so I can come home and make beds, empty commodes, and fix lunch for my mom; before dad’s decline got too bad, I fed them both).

There’s laundry to wash, dry, fold; bathrooms to clean, floors to mop, rooms to sweep and vacuum, meals to cook. Mail and packages have to be both sent out and brought in. And since dad left, I have to take care of what is left of his business as well as get help with keeping the house standing. The furnace had to be replaced; there was a gas leak and piping had to be repaired and restored. The main sewer line was clogged and had to be cleared. I still need to find a reliable yard person to rake and bag the leaves.

 I’m strong because I have to be, not because I want to be.

During all of this, dealing with reality and life, all I wanted to do was write. To lose myself in worlds I create, to detach myself from transition and death and ever-mounting bills. My head is filled constantly with thoughts, ideas, and dialogue; perhaps now I may be able to find/make time and have more focus to get back to what calms me, what I feel I do well, and makes me happy.

I have so many stories to finish (my masterlist is a huge pile of incompletes) and start, but these are the stories and AUs in the works:

Babylon—Dolos: The Homeland AU dealing with international current events

Babylon—Belly of the Beast: The Homeland AU fictionalizing the 2024 election

 Watercoolers and Coffeepots—the DC AU gang’s take on the 2024 election within the workplace

Sex and the Middle-Aged Divorcee—what’s it like being a 54-year-old woman in the world of online dating

Single—UnRomance is back with a follow-up to this storyline

Tuesday’s Child—an OC-centric story about a family whose patriarch is dying (any similarities between my family (or yours) is purely coincidental

Hospital Lost—a medical drama AU drawn largely on St. Elsewhere, ER, and Grey’s Anatomy which will be a crossover cluster. Imagine Open Heart with focus on emergency room patients and a lot more staff

I feel it’s only fair to warn you that I’ve decided to give up creative writing for writing creatively; if my writing reads/feels differently, this is the reason why.

This is all I have for now, but hopefully I will be back soon. Since I have ZERO idea who’s left, tagging the few I know are still active in the TRR/TRH/TRF sub-fandom. Feel free to let me know if you want on or off the taglist.

Rewatching Dimension Jump and wow, its so fascinating to see Ace's arrival for two reasons now.

1) While Ace is more successful and lusted after, he's still not very secure in his sexuality. He keeps playing up how macho he is and making references to not 'being a sissy.' He's still a repressed version of Rimmer and thats so fascinating to me, since you'd think he would have gotten more secure in his sexuality considering.

2) Rimmer immediately starts insinuating Ace is queer in multiple (obviously degrading) ways because he feels threatened by him. But considering Ace is, well, him, it makes the situation all the more telling. And Kryten confronts him on this, but doesn't get to finish pointing this out to him, which I think is such a shame.

As a bonus, its even more funny to me that Ace immediately becomes best friends with Lister. Like, I want a fic where Lister tries to get with Ace to make Rimmer jealous, only to find Ace is just as repressed as Rimmer.

Ace and Rimmer are both so similar. Yeah, Rimmer is extremely bitter and insecure, but Ace is just as insecure. He just swung the other direction to complete selflessness.

He has no concept of care for his own well being. Hell, Lister mentions he's fuckin up for 36 hours with a broken arm (which he still hasn't taken care of), fresh off of Cats surgery, and he's teaching Kryten to play the piano.

This man wants so terribly to be liked and loved he will never put his own happiness first. Everyone else comes first. Yeah, he may be a 'hero,' but at what cost?

My #1 post of 2022

Okay I'm gonna make this it's own post cause it's important.

Good Omens, WWDITS, and OFMD are all queer rep. But I really do think the main reason why ofmd feels the most 'real' for some people is it scratches a particular itch a lot of people on Tumblr have been trying to get for years.

Good Omens has two characters who appear to be men. Both characters spend thousands of years pining after each other and falling in love, but it's not 'explicitly states' not is there a kiss. There is rep for nonbinary folks, AroAce folks, but it's not 'gay.' The rep is purely 'queer.'

What We Do in the Shadows has a romance between two men. Both, while confirmed to be gay/bi, have not kissed or hugged or been 'romantic' on screen. They've been intimate and have had arcs to show care, jealously, and whatnot but nothing very romantic. At least, not from a classic standpoint. The creators are pushing a 'will they/won't they' arc. This is normal in many TV shows, but for many queers who are used to queerbaiting, the expectation is to be let down. Even if all the signs point to 'they will' it still hits that traumatic 'queerbaiting' tone for many.

Our Flag Means Death has a romance between not only two men, but a side romance between two men that has a kiss scene. The two main leads are romantic towards each other. But not only that, the creator has made it explicitly clear this is a romance. He has pushed again and again that this will happen, it's just a slow burn. There is explicit 'gay' rep on screen and promised future 'gay' rep.

The reason ofmd resonates is because of what other posts have pointed out. Supernatural, Merlin, Sherlock; over and over two men have been shipped together with such fervor, it feels like a betrayal when it's ignored. Or teased and then ignored. We don't want to be traumatized again.

But also, they all represent one type of rep. Romantic, gay rep of two cishet men finding love. Even though in the case of Destiel, Cas is rarely viewed as anything but a cis man (even though that's very not true). The expectation that those previous failures are being redeemed by this one show can make the queer rep in other shows seem less desirable.

Good Omens, WWDITS, and OFMD are three different types of queer rep, but ofmd has a specific trauma reaction being healed tied to it. And it's okay to recognize that, but also, it needs to be recognized that does not take the queerness away from other shows.

None of these shows are queerbaiting. Acknowledge your trauma and enjoy them all for what they are, not what you want them to be.

My #1 advice for people moving out is to NOT buy nonstick cookware... not only is the lifespan of nonstick a MAXIMUM of 7 years (usually more like 2-5 years) but teflon, aka Polytetrafluoroethylene-- the plastic coating that makes the cookware nonstick, infuses microplastics into your food.

New cookware sets can cost hundreds of dollars so my advice is to look for 100% stainless steel cookware in thrift stores. Safer, cheaper, & instead of needing to replace every 2-7 years they can potentially last you the entire rest of your life AND they won't start shedding plastic into your food

Intimate romance prompt "scolding your soon-to-be lover for almost getting themselves killed, your lover asking you why care so much" please 😘💕

For you and @alysiswriting who also requested this prompt! 💙🦛

Wish on your lucky stars ('cause it's all you got) | Rated: T | 2929 words

No, no, no, no, no. Shit. Fuck. Goddammit.  

It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Patrick was meant to do a simple recon. In, out, done. He nearly achieves that, leaving the Bennet compound in under an hour. For unknown reasons, he changes course at the last minute to go back inside. That decision cost him dearly when he seemingly sets off a sensor, triggering a blast that throws him across the property.

Christ, David’s not even supposed to fucking be here. He should be on another continent, deluding diamond smugglers into believing he’s trustworthy. But, it was a 19-hour difference between seeing Patrick or having to wait another two months. To David there was no other choice. Now that he’s here, watching a barely conscious Agent Brewer, he knows he made the correct decision. 

Blood is oozing, slow and syrupy, from Patrick’s thigh. David can see some surface level scratches on his face. Honestly he’s a lot more concerned with what isn’t visible. Patrick is on his side against the cobblestone pathway, wincing and attempting to curl forward so he can put pressure on his leg. David’s stomach turns with every wounded noise Patrick makes. He’s heard that mouth moan, hum and spew a litany of filthy words and phrases but always in moments of pleasure. David’s never heard him like this. 

David’s fully aware how much is at stake if he exposes himself to help, someone could show up for Agent Brewer any moment. Still, the pull is so, so overwhelming. He feels like he’s going to vibrate out of his skin if he has to stay like this much longer. They come together like two magnets any time they happen to be in the same area. It seems inevitable that one day it was going to happen this way. David recalls Patrick’s fall from the cliff, how fucking helpless he felt. It doesn’t have to be that way this time. 

He sucks in a deep breath, and runs.

“Patrick?" David kneels next to him, hoping he's not too late. "If I help, do you think you can walk at all?”

A long groan escapes in place of an answer. Patrick looks up, eyes barely open. David thinks he sees a flicker of recognition, but then Patrick’s eyelids flutter shut. 

“No. Fuck! Not today. Jesus Christ, not now.” David pleads, quickly arranging his arms under Patrick’s limp body, lifting him off the ground, and holding him as tightly as the injuries will allow. He doesn’t even care about the blood smearing his clothes right now; only about ignoring the wounded noises rumbling against his chest, and getting somewhere safe.

Finally, they make it to David’s car, waiting just over the hill where he left it. He arranges Patrick neatly in the passenger seat of the Aston Martin, making sure he’s secure. The moment David slams the driver’s side door shut, he’s got Ronnie on speed dial. 

“Aren’t you supposed to be on a plane or something?” The gravelly voice complains.

“No time to explain. I need you to get Ted and tell him to be ready. I’ll be there in ten.”

“David, what the hell is going on?”

“Shut up, and do the thing!” David spits, ending the call. 

“D’vid?” Wha-?” 

“Just hang on. I’ve got you. Just promise me you’ll hang on, Patrick.” 

🔍 🔍 🔍 🔍 🔍

Six minutes later David pulls into the lower garage, barely putting the car in park before scrambling to get out. Dr. Mullens dutifully rushes over to help retrieve Patrick while David recounts what information he has. Ted, ever the loyal confidant, doesn’t ask any questions about how Agent Brewer has come to be in his care. He, and one of his assistants, swiftly transport Patrick away to begin their work. 

“I probably don’t really wanna know, but what the hell is that man doing here?” Ronnie asks, far too calmly for David’s liking. 

“I’m going to need a stiff drink for this conversation.” David pinches the bridge of his nose as he walks inside, navigating his way to the bar. “Can I get you something?”

Ronnie ignores any attempts to smooth things over in favor of reaching past him for the Macallan Lalique 57 and pouring herself a generous serving. When she possessively slides the bottle closer to where she’s sitting, David opts for the Macallan 71, reveling in the smooth burn as it slides down his throat. 

“So, about Brewer. Spill it.” 

David positions himself on the leather topped barstool, resting one foot on the rungs and letting the other dangle carelessly. He’s been waiting for this day, when he would be found out, hoping in equal measure that it would never happen and for the opportunity to stop hiding. “He was on an assignment that went sideways. I happened to be there, saw he was hurt, and brought him here.”

With another gulp of her whiskey, Ronnie glares at him. “And why were you there instead of on a plane to Cameroon?”

He mirrors her, taking another swallow from his tumbler, steeling himself to answer. David rests the hand with his drink on the bar top, tapping one of his rings against the crystal. “Because I knew Agent Brewer would be there and wanted to make sure Patrick was safe.”

David thinks Ronnie might throttle him if she weren’t so occupied coughing and spluttering on her drink. 

“You what?!” she rasps. “How long–” Another cough cuts off her question. David sighs, reaching behind the bar for a bottle of water and pushing it her way.

For the @schittscreekdrabbleblog prompt Echo

“You’re here with Seb?” the blonde asks.

“That’s what I’m told,” David replies gloomily, trying in vain to blink away the club haze. “Why?”

“Never understood how someone that in love with himself gets so many people to date him. No offense.”

He wants to argue that he’s different from all the other notches on Sebastien’s bedpost, but David knows he’s not.

“Guess that makes me Echo,” he mutters.

“Come, David.” Sebastien sneers, snapping his fingers like he’s calling a dog. A faithful pet he’s still somehow disappointed to find waiting for him. “Time to leave.”

Time to leave, David.

For the intimacy prompt

tracing fingers down your partner's chest

Ok, ummm, all I can say is Thank You for this. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did 💙🖤

In all the years of artfully sneaking around for missions, Patrick Brewer never thought his expertise would lead him here. At least, not as many times as it has.

The hotel ballroom must have close to 800 people, but he’s already seen the one he’s after. Patrick knows he’s been spotted, too. They’ve been chasing each other around the globe - from Mexico to Monaco, South Africa to Saskatchewan, and everywhere between - for years now. This dance is familiar and they’re intimately acquainted with how the steps go. 

Patrick sips his sparkling champagne, peering over the rim, and meeting familiar dark eyes standing on the upper balcony. One delicate hand, with olive skin and silver rings, lifts a champagne flute from the railing in a silent toast across the sea of otherwise ignorant partygoers. Patrick’s target raises a single dark eyebrow, then tilts the glass to his lips, draining it in one go. He replaces the vessel and smirks in Patrick’s direction before turning to walk away. Patrick recognizes it for the signal it is, sitting his now empty glass on a passing server’s tray. 

As if by intuition alone, his feet carry him up the staircase, past eclectic older dealers arguing whether a Van Gogh or a Cézzane will fetch more, young heiresses flirting shamelessly, and the occasional solo chap watching them. The stream of people thins the further Patrick walks, the lights becoming more spread out, leaving shadowy patches between. The electric glow of an Exit sign catches his eye, and he’s just about to turn back when he finds himself tugged into a dark alcove, pinned to the wall. 

Patrick smirks, noting the warm, spicy scent now surrounding him. It should make him wary, but that sensation stopped long ago, replaced by want and lust. “Rose, we meet again.”

“So we do, Mr. Brewer,” a voice purrs in response. “I hope you’ve been well since Denmark.” 

Patrick traces a finger over the curves he’s become so accustomed to, feeling the sleek mother-of-pearl buttons under his skin until he hooks onto the V of the single-breasted tuxedo jacket. “Never better. Should we exchange the usual my country wants you dead pleasantries first or is foreplay off the menu tonight?” 

A singular growl precedes firm hands pinning Patrick’s wrists above his head, warm lips and tongue meeting his own. No matter how many times they’ve done this, it always makes him dizzy. It shouldn’t be this way, he should be capturing David Rose and hand delivering him to the Canadian government. Instead, he always finds himself in total disbelief at how right, and fucking life affirming, it feels to be under David’s control. 

Sometimes, dangerously, he thinks he wants it forever. It only took Patrick mentioning once that he doesn’t sleep with anyone else between their trysts. David went off the grid for over a year before they came crashing back together in a blissful rendezvous where the only sounds were gasps and skin on skin. Patrick fell asleep with David slung across his body, head on his chest, and he thought they turned a corner. But when he woke in the morning, David was nowhere to be found. They didn’t see each other for three months until their paths crossed in Moscow. 

“David,” Patrick pants, too close for comfort to losing his composure like a teenage boy as David grinds their hips together. And he’s not going to do that in a suit that had a comma on the price tag. He’s not. “Please.”

“Want me to stop?” David’s teeth drag over Patrick’s earlobe before scraping along the line of his jaw.

“No?”

David chuckles softly, the vibrations humming against Patrick’s neck. “Are you sure, Mr. Brewer?”

Patrick can only hiss in response when David’s hips thrust forward, holding him in place. 

“Well, I’m not getting on my knees for you in a hallway, in this suit,” David’s breath ghosts against the shell of Patrick’s ear. “I know you don’t always follow orders, but be good and meet me in the penthouse. I’ll make it worth your while.”

David presses a searing kiss against his mouth, pulling Patrick’s bottom lip between his teeth, before he retreats into the darkness. Patrick feels adrift without the weight of David to anchor him, even knowing they’ll be tangled together soon. He stands tall, straightening his jacket and adjusting his bowtie. He reaches into his pocket for his phone so he can at least check his hair in the camera. Patrick smiles to himself when his fingers brush over the keycard David slipped in next to it. He taps the card, deciding to abandon checking his reflection, hoping he won’t encounter anyone else important along the way. 

After all, there’s no time to waste when he has a foreign agent to catch.

send me a physical intimacy prompt!

love me a male main character who is ambiguously and yet so very sharply queer. benton fraser, hawkeye pierce, john sheppard, ken hutchinson even, if you’re feeling wild. is he gay? is he asexual, bi, aromantic, anything in between? is he even a he? yes. also no. also both and neither. he’s schrödinger’s man. this is the perfect character type

people who only speak languages that don’t make compound words by smashing multiple existing words together into one big mess of letters with no spaces will never experience the epic highs and lows of reading a salad recipe that calls for “kerstomaatjes”, which depending on where your brain thinks the cutoff point should be could mean either cherry tomatoes (kers-tomaatjes) or small christmas grannies (kerst-omaatjes). it’s “let’s eat, grandma!” vs. “let’s eat grandma!” all over again, but concentrated into a single word, which, as two prominent examples of humorous language mishaps, should set one thinking about the international linguist community’s apparent repressed desire to cannibalize their maternal forebears. in this essay i will

I hate pop culture depictions of snakes that show them swallowing their prey alive, they literally evolved both venom and constriction to make sure their prey is as dead as possible before they swallow it, unlike other awful animals like frogs and pelicans who just shove live mice and babies into their mouths.

My #1 post of 2022

Between the "Jack Sparrow and Barbosa were gay this whole time" post and whatever the hell was going on with that "Dinosaur King" post, we've entered a new era of fake tumblr stories.

G O D quincey trying to shoot dracula is even better than i expected bc this motherfucker just. Says Nothing. he just steps out of the conversation, leaves the room, goes outside, and shoots the goddamn window out, and only then is like “O SHIT, hang on, sorry guys, i’ll come explain myself”

10/10, very texan of him

started thinking something along the lines of "aw, what's wrong with me that i feel bad for unsubscribing from company emails" but then i remembered sitting in on a marketing meeting during my internship and listening to them proudly talk about how they use like. behavioral psychology to figure out how best to manipulate people into using their services and i feel much less like there's something wrong with me now

maybe it's just bc im an adult with other things to do, or maybe I have too many interests, but I think my problem with a lot of modern games is that like... you know how every professor seems to think their class is your only class and heaps work on you accordingly? except you're taking multiple classes and have no time left?

it's kinda like that. So Many Games seem to be built with the idea that like. this is and will always be your Only Game, so it's built to be huge and grindy and take hundreds of hours to complete, and I feel like really all it does is make it unreplayable or too intimidating to start if you have other things going on in your life (which everyone does)

like... I'd like to replay DA:I a couple times to see what it's like as different characters with different choices but I think my first playthrough took nearly 200h, and sure, I could skip sidequests, but what if they're different? what if they impact the end of the story?

or hzd! I didn't get very far into the game bc I thought I had made decent progress until I realized the map zoomed out and I'd uncovered maybe 5% of it and I knew it would be another game that needs a massive investment

idk man, I just miss the days of like. halo reach and halo 4 and portal and the other 360 games I have that I played dozens of times, over and over and over, bc they told their story and didn't take a hundred hours of resource gathering to do so
