I want to be a rockstar so bad but like in the 60s/70s/80s because nowadays you really can't do that to make money

#i know everyone starts small but when you hear of classic rock bands making it pretty fast & earning real money without needing another job #it's so different from how it is for new bands unless you somehow already know important people in the field #like all modern bands i was/am in contact with they all have a main job because gigs don't pay nearly well enough to live #they've been around for 10+ years even playing abroad and still can't afford to make music 100% full time without another income #the world is so fast-paced now even if you land a hit it's hard to keep it up and there's so much nepotism that real talent gets overlooked #mel talks

Divorce Saga Domon - A Haunted Honk Prequel

Hello Internet Stranger looking up G Gundam on Tumblr dot com!

This is an idea for a fic set in an Alternate Universe involving Queer Non-Canon Relationships between the characters of the series.

If you are not looking for this content please scroll on.

If you ARE looking for this content - and you're ok with reading my and other's Headcanons for this Alternate Universe I've haphazardly spun up -

Then go ahead and feel free to:

Check The Tags Of This Post For The Pairings

and click the Read More below!

--------------------------------------

Ended up outlining a completely different fic as a Segway for an explanation instead of making progress on the Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU's Clown Motel Fic like I wanted to but uh....

For y'all's review for the AU: A Prequel Outline - Divorce Saga Domon

--------------------------------------

Hey real quick - I'm thinking of maybe changing the timeline to 2 years post canon as opposed to 3 years and change post canon.

The reason being: I had a thought that this scene could either be part if the fic or if it's getting to big then it could be a stand alone tie-in prequel fic as part of this AU but - like

Immediately Post Divorce Domon Needs Space and runs off. As one does. And he runs to Earth because he just wants to Get Lost for a while.

He has Argo smuggle him out to avoid detection.

Argo has Andrew help stow Domon in a storage hanger of a Neo Canadian supply ship that's returning to the US - they have trade often enough and share agricultural resources - which leads to Domon ending up in New York when he hits Earthside pavement.

He's privately worked on his English the last couple of months and after being dropped in New York with a different hairstyle, outfit, and accent he's unrecognizable.

He considers making his way west to get some solitude in the wilderness, but something about that initial plan feels off now that he's on the ground.

Chibodee is also Earthside for a special series of prize fights aimed at raising charitable appeal for the US in the eyes of Neo Americans.

Domon decides to hit up Chibodee for a fight on a day between matches hoping it'll clear his head and give him the clarity to decide on a course of action. What ends up happening is an unexpected heart to heart via blows and a breakdown.

Domon is happy for Rain and Kyoji, and he knows it's not true; but he feels like he lost a piece of himself when his relationship with Rain fell apart.

Domon's instinct is to run after that but Chibodee knows this city and Domon doesn't hide out for long before Chibodee drags him back to his place to stay and just "Chill out and breathe. You don't have to be anyone but yourself here. You can take as long as you need to find out what everything changing means for you." Friends and teammates stick together.

So Domon spends a few weeks with Chibodee sparring and hanging out in New York. Chibodee does a frankly awesome job at containing his feelings because he's focusing on Domons feelings and being a good friend first and foremost. Whatever he's feeling can wait until after Domon is done going though it.

There's a bit of a twinge in Domon's heart as he leaves that he can't really place.

After he returns to Neo Japan and gets settled back into life with his family, The Dreams start.

They're mainly set in New York. Small things first like noticing Chibodee's smile and his eyes. Then sparring sessions that begin to turn lurid.

He thought these kinds of dreams would stop after he was married.... he doesn't know what to do about this.

I just figure it gives more clarity and sense of time for the journey from Comphet Marriage Dissolution to Feelings to Confession. Idk.

But I got stuck on a bit and then had this thought and needed to get it down before I lost it and it was so long it made sense to make it its own post as opposed to several replies.

The Maize and Clown Motel will probably still be 3 years and change post canon for clarification.

#Domon Kasshu/Chibodee Crocket #Royal Flush #Chibodee Crocket/Domon Kasshu #Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU #mobile fighter g gundam #I imagine he hasn't had time for a Big Gay Crisis yet but the time is absolutely now #Kyoji absolutely helps him through this crisis because he had a normal environment and university to figure his own shit out.#Kyoji has to figure out WHY Domon is imploding and explosive and avoiding everyone a second time though.#This doesn't seem related to the Divorce but it doesn't seem immediately obvious either. 🤔#Cue Schwarz FINALLY getting a fucking break and immediately coming to stay with Rain and Kyoji at their place.#Domon was aware that they had been living together in Neo Japan briefly before Schwarz was called back to Neo Germany for questioning #Once his rank was stripped of him he was back with Kyoji for a short period before the Divorce as part of Kyoji and Dr. Kasshu's study of #DG Cells. Once they had a breakthrough - Schwarz was sent abroad with a small military group and Doctors Without Borders group to assist #With immediate infection cases on behalf of Neo Japan as part of reparations. So Domon hadn't seen him in quite some time.#Domon certainly wasn't expecting to see him in the garden when he rounded the corner of the Mikamura residence #Leaned over Kyoji who appears to have been working outside on his laptop. Fingers intertwined a hand on Kyojis jaw and locked in a kiss.#Which ends pretty much instantly as they sense Domon and break apart. It occurs to Kyoji and Schwarz that Kyoji never #Got the chance to actually tell Domon much about himself and the man he'd grown into while Domon was training in Hong Kong with Master Asia #This might be a pretty significant shock to him.#I can't decide between Domon running from his Gay Revelation or IMMEDIATELY Losing His Shit at the thought of Rain's SECOND marriage ending #And knowing for sure now the reason why his and Rain's marriage didn't work out. He really does prefer men.#Bu HOW DARE Kyoji do this to her!!! She's been through enough!!!! This will HURT her SO BADLY!!! (Projection of guiiillllttt)#Back to square 1 fir a moment like damn #And once he starts fighting Kyoji about it (Thank God the ressurection gave them the option to make Kyojis new build similar to Schwarz's)#It comes out that Rain cant go through this AGAIN and he won't let him do this to her! Her honor means something to Domon #And it should mean something to Kyoji too as HER HUSBAND #Kyoji and Schwarz catch on the Again bit and Kyoji makes it clear that Rain has known about his situation with Schwarz since they returned #That they're quite literally inseparable and that Rain married him knowing this. She's fully aware and an active participant.#Domon takes a leg sweep and doesn't quite make his recovery as Schwarz steps in #Pinning his arms and one leg in place so he can't run from Kyojis question.

While I totally want to solve the whole mega folder situation asap I first have to take care of issues like "not having enough money to eat and pay rent when I arrive in the US because the German government decided to cut my benefits"

#I was supposed to get full benefits in August #But they decided I'm only getting half because I'm moving abroad #But the uni doesn't pay me until Mid September #So I have to live off half of what I get in a month for one and a half months #and I have to cover a security deposit for my flat #and I have no kitchen tools or cutlery or duvet or cushion or anything #So yeah I guess my first month in the US will be spent going to soup kitchens?????

I was watching this Chinese variety show just to see Ricky and Zhang Hao but then I saw one of the hosts was Zhang Zhenyuan and now I want to cry… 😭💔

#He... Teens In Times deserve better you know?#I keep trying to accept that this is how China is and C-Pop doesn't need to do anything that K-Pop and J-Pop do but #The more I think about it the more unfair it seems... 😢#These Chinese idols train so much and when they debut they just don't get promoted #They don't releaze anything on YT and they just go to variety shows alone and this is it?#That's unfair! This is not why they trained for!#No wonder there are so many Chinese idols in K-Pop it's like “if you want to debut you have to learn Korean and live in SK”#Which is fine if they like SK but what if they don't want to leave China/Taiwan/Hong Kong?? 😭#Guys there's Chinese idols even in J-Pop nowadays!! They really said “I'd rather debut anywhere but China”!!#Again... not saying these idols don't like Japan. Just that they CAN'T CHOOSE whether they want to debut abroad or in their own country!#Even if C-Pop tries to do a little bit like K or J-Pop (ex.: BOY STORY BOYHOOD WayV and the now dead EXO-M)#Their companies DON'T PROMOTE THEM!!! They literally don't invest any money to promote their groups!!!#I'm still not over Asia Super Young and Loong9 in case you didn't notice... 🥺#But... Yeah... I just wish Teens In Times got more rep and that I could just turn my TV on and watch them TOGETHER #And that they had MVs and on YT and etc. (Basically everything I've seen J/K-Pop idols do)#But maybe that's just the K/J-Popper in me and I have to accept that China is China and they owe us nothing #Just because we're interested in East Asian culture doesn't mean they have to all do one thing like the others just to please us!#I will still (try to) stan TNT as much as I can (and as much as they allow me since I speak no Chinese)#Specially ChengXin 🥺 my darling #not kpop or jpop

Friends, if you are in the US and it's tax time, DEFINITELY GO CHECK OUT THE IRS FREE FILING OPTIONS. I can't remember the last time I didn't have to pay TurboTax like $80 just to file but ours were free this year and I used TaxAct.com after the IRS website offered it as the free option. PLEASE DO THIS, DONT GIVE THOSE BASTARDS ANYMORE MONEY LOL I feel so much better about all of this, it was super easy to use I AM SHARING FOR ALL THE OTHER ANXIOUS BEANS OUT THERE

#DOOOOONE god it feels good #i have such tax anxiety #i had to file mine all by hand when i was in japan #because my spouse didnt have a SSN until we moved here #and you still have to file even if you are living and working abroad

wouldn't it be nice if the author of the fics finished them. the author is me.

#vent #for the last 4 months my life has been in stupid crisis mode #like constantly #from major ones where i had to move out for a while because it was impossible to stay where i lived #to not being able to use my kitchen for over a week #and like other more or less minor house related stuff that made it impossible for me to use something normally #not a single week without something like that or shit at work which is constantly being so fucking chaotic #and now someone died in my family #not someone very close but i liked them #and of course like feeling sad that they are gone can't be the only thing #because it has to come with the headache of i need to travel for their funeral and it's just before easter #so there's no one in this city to leave my dog with #because most of my friends either live abroad or have cats or are busy before easter..#i'd just want a week where nothing happens #and like the writing is weighing heavy on me #because i miss it #also i wish i could finish something #i wish something good would happen that i could feel proud off #also because i'm mentally ill and fucking stupid when i was going crazy with my kitchen not working and work shit #i bought new furniture #because after 15 years i've finally had enough money to buy some that aren't fucking black and inconvenient and ugly #which is like a huge project and a crisis i brought onto myself #just because i was too burnt out to write #and i wanted something nice to happen to me #like a nice living space that doesn't make feel like i have no ownership over it because everything in it was some else's choice #and that old furniture was bought by my mother and my brother ages ago and it's handmedowns #and my fucking horrible mother feels personally slighted that i want to get rid of a bed that is broken #because my brother's kids jumped on it regularly when they used to visit pre covid #yeah it's been broken that long because i lost all my savings during covid and had to change careers to a souless pointless corpo job #long pathetic whine and overshare over

Lim wondering if this is how yadek felt in the obsidian order when disposing of the regnars before refusing to draw any parallels between himself and garak for another decade

WAKHDJKDHFKJH years later lim confessing to julian about his crime and resulting dIsplay of adolescent psychopathology and julians like. That's so funny, that's EXACTLY what garak said about all the assassinations. And lim Realizes

#ELIM GARAK 'NO RELATION TO ELIM GARAK' MY ASS! THATS HIS FUCKING SON!!!#bashir tells garak about it that night and he thinks its an absolute hoot #he holds that lim would have been a promising operative because hes aggressively average in looks and behavior #i mean. not like garak ever TOLD julian about what he did in the OO. not directly.#but maybe after a few decades he's comfortable enough to obliquely discuss it as a joke #perhaps to lovingly poke fun at his beloved son whos coming around to accepting moral ambiguity #lim in his 30s like Yes well yadek i know what you went through as a state spy. because of the hotpot lizards. i know #garak: oh of course. you're a cold blooded murderer. the blood of tain and whatnot.#lim: if youd gone abroad as a cook instead of a tailor would you dispose of bodies in your slow cooker #garak: well it would have to be a very large slow cooker. i suppose if i were a professional chef it would have to be though.#lim: you could never be a professional chef. you're too precious about stains and you lack the strength of conviction the kitchen requires #(the kids refer to garaks exile as Living Abroad. like its a fun anthropologic vacation)

The shitty workplace I left in January has finally found a new specialist to take my place, and the comments on their LinkedIn post are hilarious.

My incompetent team leader commented on how he's so happy to start working on ~beautiful projects~ with them, and a fellow student working for a rival company said how the company should be so grateful to have her there.

Puh-lease.

The only reason there was a job opening was because the company first decided to fire 4 people from the department, then one by one the others, including me, left - and in the meantime they'd only been able to find juniors for that position, because most people were smart enough to not want to work for them (especially with 20+ other people leaving as well). But hey, keep on kidding yourself

#anyway... glad I left that place and there's a reason lots of others did too #that said.. I still think the only reason they applied was because they lived abroad and wanted to move back #..and this was a a quick way to find a job #because my old company was getting really desparate #but of course they won't say that to the outside world

getting older is great. i wanted a fancy lemonade on a nice terrace and no one was free so i got a fancy lemonade on a nice terrace alone and read my book. me of a few years ago would have died of embarrassment before i did that

#loneliness is a weird one pals but I’m refusing to let it keep me inside on a beautiful day #in which i ramble #growing up is simultaneously great and bad #great because you grow in the most beautiful ways as a person #bad in some ways because so does everyone else and I’m in the phase of life where a lot of my friends are in serious relationships #or they’ve moved back to their home countries #so finding your feet in a world where you’re both single and not done living abroad yet is a weird one

Uh oh, been in a new country for long enough that I'm starting to feel I'm slowly losing my friends by having moved abroad!

#idk man you see them on social media and realise that you're not really part of their lives anymore #and you miss so much of their development as people #and you wonder if the messages you send are starting to get one sided #and whether you're an obligation because of your history as opposed to genuinely wanted #and you brought it all on yourself by moving away its not their fault #idk man i loved living abroad but it comes with hella costs #love i mean #oops its real sad bitch hours

I love reading about new beginnings, and the end of something announcing the start of something better, but right now I need characters who are failures and losers and who are closing an exciting chapter in their lives just to open a boring one

#incompatible with. most stuff i read tbh #like by nature reading romance often means the start of a fun new relationship #which is always a win and a step up because you have another source of happiness in your life and a new relationship #but i'm going to be done with my year abroad and i'm going back to live with my parents #and either redo my 3rd year or take a break and work #and none of that feels like going forward and The Next Big Step #i am doing the metaphorical opposite of going off to college #and i would like some fictional littoe guy to also be miserable and doing the opposite of going to college #so it's not just me feeling melancholy and like an idiot #i'll take thinking it's gonna suck and actually it doesn't honestly i just want someone else's feelings to be like mine #wow i have a ramble tag now #england adventures
