"I don't know, Evan," Tommy said, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "It's like I wasn't controlling my own actions. As if someone was telling me to do the stupidest things possible. Breaking up with you..." he trailed off, shaking his head.

"I get it," Buck replied softly. "I mean, in what world am I not chasing after you? That's completely out of character for me. Since when do I just...let someone I love walk away?"

Never got to find out about the ring on Izzy's tie, nor the whip scars on his back.

I feel like some ppl think of identity as a tier list from least to most oppressed which is why a comic by someone who wrote a few paragraphs in a later unrelated work about clowngender is More Queer Media than 20+ years of slice of life comics about real live LGBTQ community in the real world by a butch lesbian

Someone asked elsewhere what would have happened to Star Trek's Harry Kim after Voyager ended up back at Earth after their journey, and I sadly had a pessimistic (or cynical, you choose) epiphany.

Because you have the choice between what makes sense, or what he would probably end up doing in accordance with modern writing and depressing, anti-climactic end of other Star Trek characters.

If going by the latter, he would probably end up a drug-addict with trust issues and go die face-down in the dirt to become a story-point for a more popular character's journey.

I can only suggest that people watch every episode like it's the last they'll ever see.

This might be mean to point out but so many people I followed like 8 years ago on here who always insisted that their politics were just about being kind and how they were "radicalized" by growing up learning the Golden Rule and acted mystified that anyone wouldn't see the obvious good in Being a Leftist because it's just kindness and fairness...

...are now on here openly justifying a blatant genocide and/or calling genocide survivors scammers bc they're asking for help on a website that's been helpful to other survivors they know

That just doesn't seem very kind or golden rule to me but like idk I haven't read much bizarroworld Leftist Theory so I'm probably missing some major nuance, i mean according to a lot of them feminism is only worth the name if it's about how women (especially trans ones) oppress men so I clearly missed some things

Only for it to inevitably be resurrected Pet Sematary-style on one of 402826+ streaming services and pollute ao3 and the fan wiki with the ~new canon~ in which everyone is kinda off and also we killed off this character you liked wasn't that worth it

is there a show you’re still salty about its cancellation?

the fact i now have to go through my own tag to find my previous mutuals is ridiculous. Tumblr doing this to me is just lovely.

Daði Freyr - I'm Not Bitter (Official Video)

The year is 2037.

AI Mickey Mouse has been elected president for his second term, which is not bad, you think, because you just got a raise at work and now earn 8.25 DisneyBucks per hour, and it would be a shame if the currency crashed before you really had time to use it. And sure, under AI Mickey's first term the price of eggs had gone up to 16 DBs a dozen, but the Department of Health and Good Feelings had gotten that chicken influenza thing under control pretty fast this time, and the farm workers who were infected by the chickens had all the extra limbs they grew amputated by the government for a very modest sum (Goofy's really doing a great job as the director of Homeland Security) and so you can't help but imagine you might be able to buy some for 14, or even 12 DBs once Mickey settles into office again. And that means you'll be able to save a little, put some away for a rainy day. For a book, maybe, if you see one you like. If the militia fee isn't too much this year. And if Disney+ doesn't raise their mandatory service fee again.

You're waiting in line for your weekly ration of potable water when you feel your friend in line behind you tap your shoulder.

"Have you heard?" she asks, jumping up and down in nervous excitement, looking around to make sure no one else is listening. "There's News coming."

"News," you say, making a strange sound in your throat. "I'll believe it when I see it."

"Pacat's doing an interview tomorrow night," she says. "And she said she had Big News. She said---tomorrow, she said. It will be announced."

You put the bucket you use for water over your head so that you don't have to listen to the hope in your friend's voice, and the line crawls forward.

Despite yourself, the next night you find your feet bringing you into town, and you let your phone connect to ZuckNet, the free (and only) internet service that runs across America. For a moment you wish you brought your water bucket to put over your head so that your phone can't watch you before you remember that people had been jailed--or worse--for trying to evade such things, and so you plaster a smile on your face as you watch the three minute unskippable ad that plays, careful not to show too many teeth. The algorithm doesn't like it when it looks like you're growling.

Once the ad is over you know you'll have five uninterrupted minutes until another ad plays, and you go to your tumblr, still somehow kicking around in this desolate internet wasteland full of soulless AI (don't let Mickey hear you think that) and bots.

You search the trending tags, visit your faithful CaPri blogs. Nothing yet, and you think that maybe your friend was just joking with you, trying to get you to feel something other than apathy for once--when your breath catches in your throat. "Pacat" is trending, the blogs are lighting up, the news--no, not the news, the News, the News!--is here, spread to the small group of your fellow fans who still exist.

"Important news!" the headline says, and your phone beeps as it notices your increased heart rate, sending that information to the ad companies who will try to use it to make more targeted ads for you, "Pacat announces that next year--yes, next year in 2038, an auspicious year, really, can you even believe that it's happening--there will be a new volume of Fence!"

You blink harshly, and your phone sends out a warning tone as it loses connection with your corneal direction. You ignore it. A new Fence volume? That is...news, certainly, but not The News, nothing about CaPri, barely even about anything since there's always some Fence volume coming out every year or so, and it's fine and you're distantly glad that those who are fans of such a thing are getting fed---but where is YOUR News? Your promised CaPri News?

"And even more News," the headline continues, and you scroll down for a few minutes as you look for the second part of that headline, scrolling and scrolling as you look for something that looks like real words and not just ads targeted to drain you of every last DisneyBuck that you own, "the News that you've all been waiting for---"

"Captive Prince news is definitely still in the works! Stay tuned!"

We get new covers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: I got excited and forgot to say that this is from Pacat's newsletter!
