Siri search for “characters who were raised a way that never felt right and they always thought it was their fault until they realized the world isn’t what they were taught it to be and they’re suddenly filled with an intense, deep-seated hatred for the system they were forced to live in and actively contributed to and dedicate their lives to undoing the damage the system has done all while never feeling like they quite deserve the peace they found after the dust settled”

okokok listen. yk how during most levels with the lightbulbs you have to turn them off at one point because of the little entities that react to light and attack you?

considering dedede’s fear of the dark, how would that go in the swap au? Would dedede just????? panic????? because you can try to hit them but they’re like Gordos in that manner the DONT die/take damage.

so anyways you’re welcome for the hurt+comfort metadede promp-/hj

OH-!! Okay, very interesting that you bring this up…

I have a plan for this.

Please keep this ask in your back pocket until we get there, okay? ;)

I THINK I've noticed a pattern, but idk if it's really there, so let's get a bigger sample size

IF YOU REBLOG THIS POST, TAG IT AS "SUICIDE."

[tiltedsyllogism]

for the WIP title ask meme: Gordo at the picnic!

(for this fic ask meme)

So one thing I think about, every time I rewatch (or even think about) seasons 1 and 2, and especially that killer scene between Tracy and Ed in his office in 2.2, is how Tracy never really gets a fair shot at being an equal at NASA -- not because Gordo is already an astronaut but because, by the time she shows up as an ASCAN, all of her future colleagues have long since been conscripted into knowing the open secret of Gordo's "shenanigans" (to use Margo's word.) And it's so interesting to hold that together with how Gordo is so supportive of her in so many ways -- deep ways! real ways! -- and yet I can't quite believe that he's capable of giving up all of his asshole habits to make room for her as an equal, even though he's doing that in other ways that would probably be harder for a lot of other men.

Anyway, this is a not-quite-a-story-yet set at one of those backyard picnics shortly after the four female ASCANs get their pins, and the aim is to capture some of those tensions. I don't have much other than notes, but what I do have is below the cut:

--

“Hey Gordo,” Deke called across the patio, “will you come help me with the burgers?”

It wasn’t an order, but that didn’t mean Gordo wouldn’t catch hell on Monday if he blew it off. He turned back to Chloe, grinning. “Duty calls. But hey, maybe I’ll talk to you later?”

“Sure,” she said, showing off those dimples again.

Gordo joined Deke behind the grill, where Deke was piling up grilled burgers onto a paper plate. The whole right side of the grill was open, so Gordo picked up the package of beef rounds and began laying them out like tiles.

“Gordo, you gotta stop doing that,” Deke said quietly, after a minute. 

Gordo didn’t let his smile change. “Doing what, Deke?”

Deke glared down at the grill then turned to look at him. “Chatting up the other guys’ wives.”

“Just being friendly,” he said evenly.

“You friendly like that with the new astronauts? Or just their wives?”

“Okay.” Gordo lifted his hands defensively. “Hands off Wayne Cobb, I promise. Look, Deke, it’s not anything. Lambert’s a cool guy.”

Hit me with your FAM WiP!

Someday I'm going to write Actual Proper FAM fics, but for now...

okay, this was inspired by a line from an episode of the west wing about hardly anyone who walked on the moon still being married to the same person as before they went.

So that got me thinking about brand new astro-wife Tracy Stevens, getting warned by one of the older wives about how astronauts aren't known for being faithful... which then turned into Tracy-Karen bonding.

"I saw Marge make a beeline for you. Was she warning you off too?" "She seems to think the astronauts get carte blanche to cheat on their wives while we grin and bear it," Tracy says, before taking a drag of her cigarette and blowing a smoke ring out. "No way in hell I'd ever let that happen." Karen blinks a little at the - admittedly mild - profanity, but smiles. "She gives that speech to all the wives. I wouldn't take it personally." "You think what she says is true?" "I think Ed's not the type to cheat, and I'm not the type to divorce him." Tracy almost laughs. "Well... good for you." "She really didn't mean anything about Gordo, I can *assure* you. She's just... trying to look out for us." Tracy blows another smoke ring. "Trying to make sure we keep in line, you mean." "Well, you... you know how pilots are," Karen says, clearly trying to make up for it. "Head in the clouds." "I used to be a pilot. What does that make me?" "But you're not an astronaut." "No... I'm not." Karen smiles at her. "Marge means well, but doesn't mean we can't beat the odds." "Sure. I'm a sucker for a gamble."

Thank you for the ask!! 💜 this one is actually a full draft, it just needs some edits.
