This is from 2022, but this still holds true. Actually, iirc, genx should be more conservative now than boomers both at the same age and now (boomers were actually closer to even nationally)

Sadly, it seems like Gen Z is not going to follow that trend that my generation is trying to set of resisting conservativism as we age, only because the men in that generation are taking the hardest right turn at a young age we've seen since a population of young men in a certain central European country in the mid-1930's.

But good on us millennials, we're still sticking it out. We starting losing ground for a second there, and hopefully that continues.

And to gen Z girlies out there, I'm so sorry, we failed you. We couldn't keep our little brothers from falling down the fash pipeline.

YOU'RE ALIVE??? - my reaction upon seeing your most recent reblog

Anyway, your fic and blog single-handedly kickstarted my U.S. military history obsession <3

im alive!!!! yeah I've been away for a while. it, ah... has not been a grrrreat time to be a military historian or a Big Fan of military propaganda pieces like Top Gun for the last year or so...

lmfao I just saw that the second trump admin plans to haul up all the commanders in charge of the Afghanistan withdrawal (which HE negotiated btw) in front of congress with the plan to charge them all with TREASON per the UCMJ (good fucking luck dude)

but um in my timeline... that includes navy secretary 2021-2022 tom iceman kazansky, bro... so in case you're wondering what these characters are up to in the present day apparently the answer is "getting investigated for treason." sorry to bring down the mood. my happy ending's a little sour now.

mostly I've been insanely busy. I graduate university in may & have to have a journalism capstone, an English research thesis (my paper on military commanding officers in fiction inspired by my top gun fics tbh) and a creative writing capstone (novel) done by march. plus job applications, work for the place where im currently freelancing, apartment hunting... so im a wee bit crunched lately.

some minor updates for anyone who still cares: I am, extremely slowly, still editing WWGATTAI & the other stories. I've finished a complete overhaul of the Carole-dies chapter, chapter 7, but have yet to post it because I'd like to sync a logistical change in the story across the other pieces. and I'm mostly done with a COMPLETE overhaul of chapter 6 (aka "the nineties" chapter where ice & mav move in together & build their family) which goes into much more detail about how... emotionally and logistically... they could pull that off. + a lot more baseball stuff + the Clinton sex scandal. which leaves just chapter 10 left to do. ugh, my least favorite, which is why im putting it off... and then debriefing etc. which won't take as long because I don't honestly care about debriefing at all and I just have very minor changes to make to it. slider doesn't need editing and idgaf about the other pieces.

once I finish with the edits, which will happen eventually I swear because more than anything I just want to hold the updated edited final thing in my hands the way I did with the first draft, I'll upload my pdf (with meta analysis and notes that go back to mid-2022) for u guys to do with as you wish

also for the m:i doubleheaders I am planning on editing my m:i fic pre-m:i8 next year and pending ilsa life status will write much much more

if tumblr existed in 1984 (the year not the universe of the novel by the same name) you guys would genuinely be telling people not to vote bc walter mondale would be Just As Bad as ronald reagan. you guys would be saying that being anti ronald reagan instead of anti the whole system is liberal nonsense

Demond writing on the walls: DO NOT TRUST RONALD REAGAN. THE ECONOMICS DO NOT TRICKLE DOWN

———

intern accidentally finding this: what the fuck

The Isu spend years finding the perfect calculations to perfectly manipulate generations for the perfect person to save the world

Desmond has a partial high school education and years of being homeless to fuel his rage to make sure one man in particular doesn’t become president of a country that may or may not have been “discovered” yet.

Shaun sees that in his research and immediately grabs the nearest bottle of alcohol because how the actual hell would he have possibly know about the phrase “trickle down economics” much less to call a man out by name

"reagan's suspected autism is unrealistic!! one day she hates touch and the next she's hugging brett? c'mon man 🙄🙄🙄" L + ratio + her being more comfortable with touch from people she trusts is a sign of healing from her trauma related to touch/hugs + she's mostly only comfortable with it if she expects it's coming, she initiates the touch on her own, OR if it's from brett (someone whom she trusts and someone whom has helped her heal) + touch aversity ranges from person to person + she HAS other SYMPTOMS of AUTISM that aren't her lack of social skills or touch aversity + netflix initially only greenlit 20 episodes of the show so of course some of the pacing is a bit fast in part 1, which is why part 2 goes a bit slower in pacing because the creative crew was expecting to be able to tie down and finish certain character arcs in the promised second season. the one that was cancelled. the one they were promised not even a year earlier. that was cancelled just this year in january.

Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don’t know why

[no-saints-no-scholars]

the way reagan and rand are perfect mirrors of each other

reagan absolutely despises rand most of the time but still wants the often male validation she didn’t get from a father figure, and tries to make him proud of her when she knows she shouldn’t care about what someone like rand thinks, and rand antagonises reagan refusing to admit how bad of a father he was but deep down he knows he’s been a terrible person and under all those layers of sarcasm and guilt-tripping he still wants and needs reagan’s attention

and in the finale both of them desperately search for the one reality where they’re happy with the one they love and reagan would give it up every reality she has with him just so he could be happy but rand would destroy every other reality just to have her

Long story short I've been teaching my son how evil Ronald Reagan is and today he told me he thinks he probably teamed up with Slenderman to sink the Titanic and I was like absolutely. He's 7 and it's safe to say I figured out parenting sooooooo you're welcome.

Guess who watched inside job ...

ID: the Gru plan meme where Gru from Despicable Me stands next to a board. In the first panel it says "Start watching a new show". Next is says, "Fall in love and try find the next season". Next panel says "Show is cancelled." The final panel is the same text with Gru looking back at the board sadly. END ID

nothing wilder than when a person who ended up a popular party in a real people shipping situation comes out and says something against the ship/reiterates that they're straight and then fandom lunatics try and be like OKAY HOMOPHOBE and try and use identity politics against em like................... ? were they meant to lie and feed your delusions or ?
