#go farther in hope

[reallylilyreally]

parts of me unspoken - 10/10

None of it happened on purpose. None of it was supposed to happen.

For Babe and Gene, going to war involves a lot more finding home than either of them had expected. It's not quite that simple, of course, because nothing in war ever is, but it's closer than you might think.

Gene kisses a boy for the first time in the dark of his childhood, and a man for the first time in perfect, beautiful sunshine. He's seething with grief and hope, and Edward’s I love you burns him from the inside out.

This is the Babe/Roe storyline from go farther in hope - it can be read as a stand-alone, though some throw-away lines might not make sense if you haven't read the main fic. Work is (almost) complete, updates will be published every other day.

With endless love always to @escrivoir, without whom this wouldn't exist and I would be nothing.

And that's all she wrote, folks.

The thing about the rich vampires trope is that it so clearly comes from (originally non-vampiric) gothic narratives of bankrupt aristocracy. Which maybe you’re like “yeah exactly they’re aristocracy” but the point is literally that that power they have doesn’t mean anything, not anymore. Yeah they live in a castle, but the castle is actively crumbling. It’s all falling apart. They’re not the dominant stratum of society; they’ve been left behind. They exist in a state of abjection. And so much of modern vampire media misses these details, as well as the fact that for much, much more of history, the vampire has been— and always will be— the representation of a scapegoat, of anyone who’s been rejected by dominant society.

Pride Month Aspec (Head)canons Day 15

Gwenpool - Marvel Comics - Aroace

Okay this one isn't a headcanon but that's because Gwenpool is canoncially aroace!! Whatta queen.

Tbh I'm not completely up to date on this. I do remember a few posts about how even though the comic said aroace, there was more emphasis on the ace part than the aro part. So here's some lovely aroace flags with her to hopefully help bridge any gaps there are existing between those.

I remember reading a Young Avengers comic a bit ago that had her in a relationship. I also remember just being like "what" the entire time because it did Not seem like it was supposed to be happening. I guess even then, without knowing much about her, I had picked up on the aroace vibes before they made it canon. Interesting how that worked out.

Anyway, gotta love a canon aroace character. Especially one as cool as her!

(I'll probably have to go back and punch up the preceding scene tomorrow, but in the meantime, we're working on making it to the finish line.)

ta muchly @swifty-fox, have a bit of the BabeRoe (god i need to find a title for this) part of go farther in hope

The thing is, he thinks to himself, still a little drunk, lying on his bunk staring at the ceiling and trying to focus on the different rhythms of breathing around home - Johnny, Chuck, More, Malarkey, Garcia, Cobb, he knows every single one - the thing is, it’s not bullshit if it makes sense.

The company needs Doc Roe. Desperately. Spina’s good, and rumour has it Mampre will be back soon, but neither of them are Doc Roe. Doc Roe is a god to this company, he’s Easy’s miracle, they need him. And that means they need him whole, and steady. It’s not Babe’s fault that he seems to be the only man in the company who can see the desperation pouring off the medic, the way that Roe is curled into himself. It’s not his fault that he’s the only person who thinks that maybe the man isn’t a god, that maybe he might need steadying. It’s not his fault that Babe is the only person Roe seems to accept any form of care from.

It’s not bullshit if it makes sense. And Liebgott is right, Babe’s not some hick from the middle of nowhere. He’s not new. He’s not Talbert, with stars in his eyes and his heart bleeding all over his sleeve and drowning them all. He’s not Muck and Malarkey and Penkala, whatever the fuck they’re doing, he’s not stupid. He was taught properly, and well, and he hasn’t forgotten. He knows better. He doesn't even know the man, he rationalises. Babe knows nothing about Doc Roe, doesn't know his middle name or what he did before the war, doesn't know if he has parents or siblings, if he was scared of spiders as a kid, if he likes to dance, how he takes his coffee. He's never seen the man out of uniform. He doesn't know him. All Babe knows is who Roe is to Easy, and that they need him. 

It’s not bullshit if it makes sense. He’s not falling in love with Doc Roe. He knows better.

I'm happy about the game because I got to see Giancarlo Stanton do his thang. When he's on, he's phenomenal. He hits a baseball harder and farther than anyone else in the show. I love Giancarlo!! ❤️ The Yankees tried their best. If pitching didn't give away so many runs, we could've won, but Aaron Boone and his bad, idiotic decisions prevented that from happening. My boys played very, very well, and I'm proud of all of them. They gave it a valiant effort. They played well. You can't win them all. Congratulations to the Rangers. See you tomorrow. Let's go Yankees!!!!!

Look at those muscles in his arms!! It's no wonder that the ball travels so far and so fast. Holy guacamole!! 😊😍⚾️
