wait say more about illegal street racer bartylus pls…

ugh okay so the hard part is that i would have to do a lotttttttt of research because i dont know anything about anything except i like fast cars and hot people and crime and i would bark like a dog for suki from 2 fast 2 furious but like... i cant even parallel park what the fuck do i know about fancy cars????? NOTHING!

BUT

i have a small vision™️ here are the vibes™️

backdrop of some insane and fun neon city. obviously the black family would be from an insane line of illegal street racers. sirius was the best to ever do it but he doesn't anymore for Reasons and so regulus took up the mantel and is the fastest, best racer ever.

regulus has insane tension w james (cause im still me) and he still races even tho sirius doesnt but then one day barty rolls into town.... crazy tricked-out car... and beats regulus downnnnnnnn which of course makes regulus furious but also obsessed bc wdym there is someone better than him??? and they begin their insane obsessive rivalry and james is like?? hello </3 pookie u were supposed to love me

but then sirius gets back into racing which freaks regulus out because they do duos so it's reg and his best guy vs. sirius and his best guy (james) and regulus picks barty even though he fucking hates him because he's the best.

also i want marlene to be the mechanic who works on everyone's cars and dorcas is gonna be the mastermind who plans all the race routes, maps out where the police are, checks the scanners, bails them out of jail etc etc

also i want barty to be racing bc he's always scrounging for money and insane and pouring all his winnings into his crazy car and regulus is racing bc it runs in his blood but he's also his family is evil and smuggling .......smth across city and state lines. i wanna say stolen art right now. but that's too on brand for me. we must break free!

i just want drama. fast cars. fun races. higher stakes. police involvement. accidents. sabotage. cars blowing up. etc etc

I bought a f/f novel that was very clearly pulled to pub Gilmore Girls fic. A M/M SF royalty origfic from fail-fandomanon got professionally published. A Stormpilot fic got reworked and published. There’s definitely a larger market for F/M romance + a larger keep-the-money-outta-it M/M fic writing community but I don’t think M/M (and F/F) writers are completely immune to the pull-to-publish allure.

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

girl why the hell WEREN'T you at the devil's sacrament 👀 that's three sacraments in a row you've missed 👀 👀 👀

[canwediscuss]

women really sometimes be like "I can handle several men much easier than one man" and not think about it any further girl it's one dude either there's skills to have an enjoyable marriage that you weren't taught or men legitimately are superior mentally and physically and there is no possible way to have a healthy marriage. Having a career does not make you more empowered, they're the same creatures. Either it was never a woman only problem or the men in your office are letting you have bodily autonomy and a salary for some ulterior reason. Either women were created equal or the only solution is a woman exclusive nation. No more middle ground

hey! white tumblr users! if you’re considering making a post about rap, try closing out of the post editor and listening to DNA by kendrick instead. I guarantee he’s said everything, and he’s said it better than you ever will.

“…and no more old bookshop”

That’s what it stopped Aziraphale short in s1, didn’t fully convince him but it made him pause. And Crowley knew that.

flash forward to s2,

“You can’t leave this bookshop.”

Crowley uses the same line again and yet it means so much more now. Which makes it all more devastating to hear,

“Nothing lasts forever”

That’s not part of the song and dance they have played through before. They can’t wiggle themselves out of this one.

Even back in s1, although they made a pit stop at the Ritz, they didn’t truly bring the issue back up until they were in the bookshop. To start to plan.

It’s their safe haven

And now that it’s torn down and exposed the only thing he can offer more of, is himself.

and yet after everything, all the heartbreak, Aziraphale still says,

“But, um….my bookshop.”

While retreating into his East end corner, putting distance between him and the Metatron, to make himself closer to Crowley, to see if he’s still there.

and if that isn’t some of the biggest proof that Aziraphale did not want to go, did not want to leave Crowley. Well.

WHAT IF your name was Bruce Wayne and you were forced to go on a road trip with 2 people, a boy you've recently taken under your wing and a man you met when you were a kid. The boy is wonderful and you adore him, and a tiny part of you wants to fold him into your family but you know he wouldn't want that so you don't say it. The man is your childhood friend turned half-friend half-enemy, and you're homoerotically flirting the WHOLE trip so maybe you love him but you don't say it. And they are both Gotham to you, both manifestations of the city's potential to save and destroy; the boy is a beacon of hope, the man a symbol of corruption. The boy refuses to give up on you, you refuse to give up on the man. You are trying to keep them but also trying so hard not to be selfish. You're in a car with a boy who is not your son and a man who is not your lover and they both HATE each other. Also they are the only two people in the world right now who aren't actively trying to kill you. Anyway I read All-Star Batman #1-5 last night 😭😭

Anyone ordered a side of modern au cowboys being sweet on eachother for valentine's?

I was thinking about the fact that Skyward Sword Link is extremely talented at fighting and flying with minimal effort, and I just went down this entire rabbit hole.

Sky is smart and knows what he’s good at, but he’s also low energy and a bit lazy, whether it’s out of immaturity or physical issues (imo it’s both), so he does bare minimum to get through and somehow is still ahead in the classes that he enjoys.

And that’s part of the reason Groose hates him.

Now this is fairly canon - Groose complains about Link “not being a man” and not putting the work in. Groose also chooses to be a jerk so this isn’t really in defense of his bullying but it did make me come up with some crazy thoughts.

Imagine if Groose busts his butt to do well in classes, to be a good fighter, a good flyer. And Link just casually beats him every time.

Imagine another set of characters in a different story who do that. A brother and sister, where the younger sister is a prodigy and gets the attention that both kids desire (their dad), and the brother is jealous and constantly trying to do better but not able to keep up.

I’m talking about Azula and Zuko.

And then I was like “LOL yeah I guess I can see some parallels but those two are VERY different from Groose and Link” and yes they are but—

Then my brain started imagining if Sky and Groose reflected Azula and Zuko a bit more and idk what to do with this information but I had to release it to the void

I think as much as free housing for everyone is a good goal, we gotta also fight for the right to not live in a house if you don't want to? Like I am aware that for the vast majority of homeless folks rn it's a non-choice or half-choice under the current system but like. Idk like even if the state provides everyone with an apartment or tiny home, even if most people would take that deal in a heartbeat, it's not okay for the state to force someone into housing they don't want. It's not okay for the state to tow someone's camper van even if they give them an apartment in exchange. I should have the right to travel for months on end and camp anywhere suitable that isn't being used. Freedom of movement and freedom to occupy spaces is really important actually.

I love how you draw fuyumi SO MUCH!!! shes so underrated 😭😭 also ur miruyumi art is so prettyyyyy

immortals ghoap who will casually reminisce about a date they had four hundred years ago like it was yesterday because their love just transcends time like that. eternity doesn’t feel like a painful forever when they have the other by their side to share every moment of their history, and it’s nice to look fondly back on memories that still exist at the forefront of a life experience so full yet still far from sated.

they can talk about the rise and fall of empires just as easily as they might discuss the weather or ask what the other had for breakfast. it’s always felt simple to come to terms with a never-ending life when they’re not alone to live through it.

(and maybe it’s also a little funny to confuse everyone else to no end when they talk about centuries past but never fully specify the details. at least in the modern day and age they wouldn’t be called witches for it.)

okay but i really love how the lines of who is trapped and who isn't are getting blurred. helena is, like, basically head of the company, except she isn't. she's a real person, but she is so obviously stilted and cold and awkward talking to anyone outside her family without media training. she is an eagan and nothing else. she's so unhappy in her life that she's crawling into the cage she built. milchick is in control, but he also isn't, because it seems increasingly likely that he was "raised" by lumon in the same way as huang, and even if he wasn't he barely seems to exist in any context outside of strained professionalism and frantic crisis management. lumon will actively consume any part of you that you do not make the choice to cut away from it and even those parts of you might crawl to it anyway

[screechingfromthevoid]

You know, writing this fic, I almost reversed the "no debts between us" line for fun.

But actually no I'm not going to do that. Because that would fundamentally change dorym as a whole I think.

So like Dorian has been actively saving Orym's life since the beginning in EXU. Jumping to dangerous situations to heal Orym, to boost him back to standing. And Dorian is the one who says "not debts between us".

Because Orym saved Dorian when they met. Orym's tactical knowledge. Orym's kindness. Orym making sure Dorian felt comfortable and a part of whatever group they made together.

It doesn't matter how many times Dorian physically saves Orym. Orym saved Dorian first. And everything after that is Dorian repaying Orym. That's why there's no debts between them. Because everything Dorian does is repaying Orym

NSFW, kinda spoilers for TF1

No because I'm still not over the whole "Megatron and Starscream's whole relationship is actually just really intense foreplay/bdsm" becoming CANON. Like??? Megatron literally throws him down in front of everyone and what is Starscream's reaction but to dramatically go, "Yes! Hit me! Hit me harder!"

Like???? I'm not complaining but a masochism-exhibitionist thing right in the middle of my transformers movie was not what I was expecting lmfao

Megastar probably had hot steamy evil villain sex shortly after the banishment, in the spot that would eventually become the new decepticon capital, in front of everybody 😌 Starscream swaggers up to him and goes, "Hit me again, big bot. I can take it~ ❤️" and the elite trine cheer him on like,

"YEAH THAT'S OUR TRINE LEADER!"

"Get it, Starscream! Get it!"

Seekers are a filthy, rowdy, overly-sexual bunch, and there's nothing like a good public fragging to raise spirits. If Starscream wants to publicly ride thick gladiator champion spike in full view of everyone in celebration of Sentinel Prime's death, you can bet your ass Skywarp and Thundercracker are gonna be supportive
