#am I losing you

Your arms don't go around me, when I reach out for you, And your eyes don't hold the fire, that they once used to do. Little signs of distance, Little signs of distance, Tell me... we are through....

Manhattans - Am I Losing You

[canonkiller]

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

The new questions for fic writers - 1, 8 and 16

Hello again!!! Thank you sending in these asks. :)

What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Whenever someone in real life asks me to share something that I've written/published, I usually suggest My Brother's Keeper. It's free to read, it's a short story, there's nothing scary or graphic in it, and I have a soft spot for it. It's the most true to life story I've ever written.

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)?

I feel like there's a story behind the song "Am I Losing You?" by Anika Paris. One that I'd love to read.

16. What’s an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)?

I'm a sucker for any Rumbelle AU, particularly historical or contemporary. What OUAT did to canon Rumbelle just crushed my soul, the only way I could cope was turn to fanfic and fanart. Season 7 was better, but still heartbreaking since they killed my ship off. Yeah, give me Rumbelle fanon over canon any day.

one of the differences between good omens the show vs good omens the book that will always fuck me up is the post-bookshop fire scene. crowley goes from picking himself up, dusting himself off, accepting the loss of aziraphale and Just Driving Anyway to completely falling apart. i do get why people have gripes with it being changed so fundamentally, and i've thought about it a lot myself, but i've never been able to bring myself to get mad about it. i always circle back to how the book was written by two best friends. that drunken, wrecked, grief stricken scene was written in a post-pratchett world. he lost his best friend.

I’m in the South. I’ve got ears to the ground. Republicans are SWEATING at the prospect of Kamala being nominated. They’re not sure Trump can beat her.

Let’s prove them right.

yuuta fucks like an animal btw it's insane,, he's literally drooling and panting and groaning, he's grabbing onto your hips so fucking hard that you know you're gonna wake up all pretty and bruised but he just can't help it. he's hungry. he's starved. he needs to have you in every possible way. he needs to kiss you, he needs to lick the sweat off your skin. his hips are slamming into yours with so much power that you can't even breathe properly and it's so overwhelming that you subconsciously try to move away from him, which only makes him press himself flush to you. skin to skin, there isn't even an inch between you. he noses at your cheek, smearing the fallen tears into your skin as he whispers: "don't push me away, love. c'mon, i know it feels good, tell me it feels good."

hey. what if our souls were so intertwined that time itself twisted - and the fabric of reality ripped itself apart - just to allow us to walk into the next life together hand in hand. what then
