#he doesn't know about 4/19/2019

[furryprovocateur]

i'm mostly excited for him to start apollo justice because he somehow avoided the "sheik is zelda" tier spoiler about the ace attorney series

[landhoe-norris]

i can't even a little bit with this fandom today.

lando norris has the most points scored after max since the austrian gp. he's been driving the wheels off the car all year, and let's not forget that the car was almost stationary throughout the first races. it truly wouldn't have mattered if he had fred flinstoned that car back in Bahrain, he wouldn't have gone any slower than he actually did. he is the fifth lowest when it comes to money that he has cost the team when it comes to crashes. he's an incredibly safe driver who knows how to handle the car. he was p2 in the sprint shootout. p2. he’s not finished. fuck off with that rhetoric.

his race pace is miles ahead of his teammate's (and that's not a jab at oscar cause unlike some fans i do not enjoy pitting these two against each other).

i have seen so many comments aimed at lando about him not "handling the pressure", how he "needs to do better", "needs to learn to not make mistakes", "needs to grow a thicker skin" and i don't even know where to begin.

first things first, he's 23 years old. that's the fourth youngest on the grid. we sometimes forget about that since he was only 19 when he debuted, and therefore we've had the pleasure of watching him race for almost five years.

lando has been very vocal about his mental health. it was horrible when he debuted in 2019. he had imposter syndrome, was incredibly hard on himself, and didn't have a lot of faith in his ability, something that he said in a press conference with sebastian vettel back in 2021. he has managed to work at his mental health, become an advocate for others and has shown great leadership in the team since he had to step up back in 2021.

there are not a lot of things that people can "use" against lando to try and make him sim like a "grid filler" or a mediocre driver. most of the time it comes down to one thing, and that's sochi 2021. that race is what people use to claim that he can't deal with pressure. but what people omit and fail to realise or just don't care about is that sochi was on the team, not on lando as a driver. he made a call to stay on the slicks because the team told him the rain would stay the same until the end of the race and then didn't update him when the forecast changed. even lewis said he would have made the same call, with the same information.

it's amazing to see, that in all the years that he's been on the grid, there's one thing that can be thrown back at him, and you really have to be stretching, or just plain stupid, to even use that.

because of this incident, people like to say that he can't handle the pressure of being an f1 driver. that's bullshit. we've seen time and time again that he can, in fact, handle pressure. it doesn't matter where it's coming from.

there are others saying that he can't handle the pressure coming from oscar since he's only really had to measure himself up against carlos as a rookie, and then dan, who was fucking shit, but again, that's bullshit. he's still miles ahead when it comes to race pace, setups and tyre management.

does he put too much pressure on himself? probably. but that's the hunger. that's what's keeping him going, keeping him motivated.

does he beat himself up too much? in my opinion, yes but that also shows that he's never satisfied and that he will keep going and won't stop until he's achieved what he's set out for himself.

sure, he now has the most points scored without a win in f1, with half the fewer races than the one in p2. can you even imagine that? lando, who has never had the fastest car in his 5 years in f1, now has 525 points in 98 races! what a fucking goat.

and you're telling me he's fifth in the "most podiums with a win" with ten podiums? imagine getting this many podiums in the mclaren he's been driving in! sure, it's gotten better after summer break, where he has scored 4 podiums, but good god, he must be an excellent driver to be able to get 6 podiums in the trashcan he was driving in 2019-2022.

lando is a lot of things, and i would say, (even if i wasn't biased and i wasn't rooting for him), that most of those things are positive.

but what you cannot say is that he isn't winning material, and isn't passionate about the sport.

and for every single person out there who loathes him because he dared win against their fave, i can promise you that there are more people who love him. he's adored and respected in the paddock itself by the people who actually matter, and he is wanted by the biggest team(s) there is because of his race craft and intelligence.

i can say with a straight face that lando norris is wdc material, and i feel sorry for you if you can't accept that.

[fruitgummies01]

The way we wouldn't have known that jimin had sleepover at jungkook's home a day before their jeju trip Started IF jungkook didn't ask why jimin's not eating. That shows how they do stuff together in private and those things just stay private because we wouldn't have guessed that jungkook who came to Seoul in the evening of a day before their jeju trip, so despite being tired he still cooked 4 plates ig?? Of food for jm and jm ate 3 of them. Now i get why jin would name jungkook as jimin's chef in 2019-20 when he made jimin's profile because the way even jimin was like "How much more will you make me eat or make me fat" jm said tells you how much jungkook is used to cooking for jm. They could have ordered food yet he made it at home. And this was jungkook running through the airport to get home 😂 idk why he was running like that because i haven't seen him do that before but maybe he had his own reasons

https://x.com/busanacess/status/1841520935242776754?t=TtM7Bzy4kqbWDGPI3AS7vg&s=19

Point is we wouldn't have known if jimin wasn't giving "Context" as to why he wasn't eating and we all thought he wasn't eating because he got an upset stomach or because of his motion sickness or something.

And just because they both usually don't post their hangouts many take that as them never meeting and seeing each other. Quite honestly they both are at least at this point are home buddies who enjoy their time staying home talking endlessly than go outside and do stuff. Not like they don't enjoy going outside and doing activities they do and need it from time to time(as they did some activities in AYS but it was still mostly them eating and talking) but their dynamics is more about staying in each other's presence and just talking and doing stuff at home. They don't always need activities to hangout together they can simply stay over at each other's home and that's just them. In 2021 jimin, jungkook and one of jimin's friends were seen at a restaurant having a meal and it was actually white day (14th March and it's like a sequel of valentine's day in Korea and couples celebrate this day together, not saying jkk were doing that could be a coincidence because jm usually doesn't give much importance to these days idk about jk tho). When in BTS's doc jk came over at jm's home and cooked food it was their last day of concert at Seoul (as per the date on jm's fridge so it was 13/3/2022 smtg) and jikook were seen on 14/3/2022 and jk was even wearing jm's custom made hat so pretty much jungkook had a sleepover at jm's home but of course they never mentioned it. Given jungkook was even wearing jm's custom made hat I'm assuming he stayed over at jimin's as he was at jm's home late at night after the concert so probably best to stay and then they were out again on 14/03/2022.

https://x.com/stopkookminpls/status/1745117340688097332?t=7OvTmSmnyvf0LzumMxX8WQ&s=19

I remember how in that vmk live when jimin said jungkook goes to jimin's room 3 times a day, he stays there for even 4 hrs on some time. Jungkook said he goes to jm because he gets bored and jm's room is close (as if other members were living in another building 😂). And since jungkook said he goes there because he gets bored you'd expect him to do stuff with members to get rid of the boredom but jimin revealed that jungkook doesn't do anything when he comes to jimin's room. He stays in jimin's bed for hrs and then leaves. Jungkook even goes to jimin's room at 2AM at odd times. You'd expect him to go to different different members so he could do some fun activities but nope staying in jimin's room doing nothing itself is pleasant to him that he doesn't need much other entertainment(most of the time of course).

But losers on the internet will tell you they don't post so they don't meet and if jikook does mention then they're lying for fanservice lol.

Given just how many inside jokes and references to memes that were made throughout AYS, I think it's pretty clear that (even without the knowledge from Jimin that he stayed the night at Jungkook's house) they spend A LOT of time together. And honestly, the fact that Jimin and JK don't ever feel the need to post on social media whenever they are spending time together, makes their relationship/friendship/whatever-you-want-to-call-it-ship feel even more real and authentic to me. They don't need the validation from strangers and fans on the internet. And I love that Jimin and Jungkook both feel comfortable enough to drop info when they feel like it.

would love to know more about Stuart and wip #4 <3

I have so many thoughts about Stuart it's not even funny. I remember always being a bit fascinated with him in my original read of AFTG in 2019 because he is, and I say this with all the love in my heart, kind of an Uncle Ex Machina. And this year when I came back and did my reread (re-listen?) of the books that fascinaiton returned tenfolds.

The thing about Stuart that keeps getting me is that his original revenge plan against Nathan was insane. And the way that he went about it was even worse. Like, here is the list of steps he went through: 1) Found out Kengo was diyng, calculated that he could deal a blow to Nathan as long as it doesn't piss off the Moriyamas too much 2) Allied himself with the FBI, a foreign government agency, despite being himself the head of a criminal syndicate, even though that could have very easily gotten him branded as a narc 3) Planned to wait until Nathan was released, invade his house while he was killing someone, massacre his inner circle, and probably deliver a dramatic speech as he beat up Nathan and left him for the FBI to find 4) Upon getting to point 3, found his nephew being tortured, confirmed his sister was dead, and promptly changed his plans to kill Nathan on the spot 5) Has now broken his deal with the FBI and permanently removed a Moriyama asset instead of just incapacitating him 6) Left his recently-tortured 19yo nephew to sort things out with the FBI and dipped back to England fully expecting to be executed by Ichirou 7) Somehow managed to talk himself out of this and not only stay alive but become an asset to a syndicate bigger and more powerful than his 8) Profit.

That is insane. He cannot keep getting away with this. How can a man with three appearences have this much chaos going on.

So this WIP is mostly an character study, following Stuart as he grieves Mary and tries to adjust to the changes being part of the Moriyamas bring. It is also about him trying to find out how far he can Manipulate Manspain Manwhore out of situations.

Reason number two behind this WIP was that I was actually surprised to find out that this entire fandom was sleeping on Ichirou/Stuart. They have like 19 tagged fics! That is a crime! Have we lost all respect for toxic yaoi?

I really like playing with foils and parallels and contrasts and in the process of plotting this fic I found a lot of them in the Stuart and Ichirou dynamic. For one, they do have a pretty big age gap (14 years in this fic), but while Stuart has all the experience, it's Ichirou who has all the power in their relantionship. Ichirou who has inherited an empire but is stuck in his father's shadow and Stuart who has an established reputation but lost all his autonomy. Stuart who risked everything to avenge his sisters and Ichirou who killed his brother.

Also, I have a pretty strict Death of the Author stance and thus don't consider Nora's tweets or the EC canon, but I do find the fact she said that eventually Ichirou gets Stuart killed in a suicide mission so he can get a younger head on the Hatford branch (and that Stuart knew that it was going to happen eventually and was fine with it) very intriguing. They are two very ruthless, manipulative people, and I want to play with them like barbie dolls.

Question about the Yuu Singer au: When Jamil's plot is revealed or when escaping the first time, would he sing "One Jump Ahead"?

Yuu Singer, Scarabia (One Jump Ahead)

Answer: This song would be located when Yuu and Grim escape from Scarabia to Octavinelle (Cap 4-19). It's the best time this song can be located; By the way, I visualize this moment with the 2019 version of Aladdin.

Yuu was scared, confused and angry; he now regrets accepting Jamil's invitation.

He didn't understand why he had him locked up in Scarabia and forced to follow Kalim's orders.

He also had no explanation for the erratic and bipolar behavior of who he thought was a kind and happy person.

He didn't want to leave Jamil and the rest of Scarabia in the hands of someone who was made a dorm leader just because of the weight of his last name; that was the reason why he hadn't helped Grim escape before, but now… they needed help, hopefully someone from another dorm also decided to stay for the holidays.

He and Grim were able to finish a hole big enough for them to fit under the door; they were lucky to be on the ground floor of the building.

Everything was going well for them so far, so Yuu suspected that trouble would soon follow.

And he wasn't wrong when he heard the footsteps of the night watchmen.

He would have to use a song; it was illegal to use the "voice of the gods" for personal gain, but he wasn't if it was used to protect himself from others.

"Yuu we have to go." Grim said urgently. Yuu knew it and luckily he had a song in mind…

Dalil, a boy with violet hair and a dark complexion, was very sleepy. Next to him was Naim, his blond-haired friend.

Although Naim meant tranquility, his friend was worried and scared of what might happen.

The two of them and the rest of Scarabia were fed up, but there was nothing they could do. Not against Kalim Al-Asim.

A few days ago, they asked or rather begged Madaini Al-Asim, Kalim's first-year cousin, to convince him so that they could leave the hell in which he had turned the dormitory.

Although it seemed that it would work, Madaini appeared with a bruise on his cheek and the expression on his face said it all. They couldn't leave.

Then Yuu and Grim arrived, and with them hope blossomed in Dalil and Naim… and it was gone as fast as it came.

Naim sighed as they walked down the hall. "How much longer do we have to take?" he asked Dalil. The purple-haired one didn't know what to say. "He doesn't even relax with his younger cousin." Added the most nervous blonde, remembering the events of the afternoon.

"We can only do as he says and stop Prefect Yuu and Grim from leaving." Dalil told him; it was very wrong to hold them back, but if they didn't want to incur Kalim's wrath and put his good friend Jamil under more stress, they had to.

As they reached the hallway to the guest rooms, Dalil heard voices. "Those are…?".

The question hung in the air as they ran, when they reached the hallway they saw the "guests" outside the room… and a hole in the floor.

The four looked at each other… until Yuu and Grim ran.

Dalil and Naim used whistles to call for backup as they chased after Yuu and Grim, they couldn't leave. Kalim would go crazier if that happened.

When suddenly music was heard coming from an unknown place; there the members of Scarabia must have assumed that they would have no chance of beating someone with the "voice of the gods"…

~Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline~

Yuu and Grim ran through the corridors; later, a boy from Scarabia closed his door without realizing the shock of using his headphones. Yuu knocked on said door loudly before running on. The unsuspecting young man, who just took off his hearing aids, went to open the door. He slammed the door open thinking it was Kalim, Dalil crashed face first into the door. "Don't let him get away." Dalil said in pain.

~One swing ahead of the sword~ ~I steal only what I can't afford~ ~And that's everything~

Soon, Yuu and his furry friend reached a back garden surrounded by the building. Other members of Scarabia came through two other doors; they looked reded.

~One jump ahead of the lawmen~ ~That's all, and that's no joke~ ~These guys don't appreciate I'm broke~

Grim shot fire at the ground, very close to their feet. Yuu took advantage of the magic of the song to control the water of the fountain and throw it on the head of her pursuers.

~Riff raff~! ~Street rat~! ~Scoundrel~!

The dorms didn't care that they were singing inadvertently, they just had to catch Yuu and Grim or else… they didn't want to know what their dorm leader would be capable of.

~Take that~! ~Try a different tac', guys ~

Yuu grabbed Grim; taking advantage of the decorative fences of the corridors, the marble statues of the columns were able to reach the first floor through one of the balconies.

~Rip him open~ ~ 'Round the back lines~

Naim was going crazy; for the love of Allah. They couldn't make too much noise or Kalim would wake up.

~I can take a hint, gotta face the facts~ ~Could really use a friend or two~

Yuu and Grim kept running down the corridor trying to reach the exit. When suddenly, the paintings of dancing girls came to life to sing…

~Oh, it's sad, Yuu's hit the bottom~ ~He's become a one-man rise in crime~

A boy with red hair and a tan complexion tried to stop him using a sword. Singing the next line of the song.

~I'd blame parents, 'cept he hasn't got 'em~

Although it was a phrase from the song, for Yuu it was true. She didn't remember how, but she did remember that they had died in an accident. Despite the pain, he had to flee; Yuu took a mop that they forgot to put away and started the fight.

~Gotta sing to live, gotta fight to escape~ ~Tell you all about it when I got the time~

In that same corridor, Madaini Dennov Al-Asim was looking for other roommates to ask about the commotion. As she turned left she looked at her and Yuu's roommate fighting. Thinking quickly she grabbed a vase and placed it on her partner Scarabia's head, causing him to fall. She hoped that she would forgive him, but when Yuu and Grim knew she had to help them escape from this hell disguised as paradise. "Thank you". Yuu said with a smile. "Thank me later, now run." Madaini said before leading the duo down a shortcut.

~One jump ahead of the slowpokes~ ~One skip ahead of my doom~ ~Next time gonna use a nom de plume~

To their bad luck, the other Scarabia boys were catching up. And when they saw him with the Madaini they thought that he was kidnapping him, due to the history of that event in the family of the aforementioned.

~One jump ahead of the hitmen~ ~One hit ahead of the flock~ ~I think I'll take a stroll around the block~

Yuu was trying to control his magic, but he was very tired from running, he just didn't faint thanks to the song. The Asim who was accompanying them didn't want to hurt his friends either. Grim noticed this and using his fire burned a couple of curtains and rugs as a distraction. Giving the three of them some time to escape while Scarabia's men doused the flames.

~Stop, kidnapper~! ~Vandal~! ~Grim~! Yuu yelled for Grim to be careful not to burn anyone. ~Scandal~!

Yuu, Madaini and Grim ran, but the corridors weren't an option. They went up to the second floor of the building.

~Let's not be too hasty~ ~Still I think he's rather tasty~ (A statue sang while blocking the stairwell). ~Gotta sing to live, gotta fight to escape~ ~Otherwise we'd get along~ (Wrong~! (Scarabia's yelled before Yuu tripped them and fell off the balcony into a huge pile of dry leaves)).

Madaini recognized the corridor, so she led Yuu and Grim until they reached a golden door with a locking device on the wall.

~One jump ahead of the hoofbeats~ ~One hop ahead of the hump~ ~One trick ahead of disaster~ ~They're quick, but I'm much faster~

The Asim quickly entered the code and they entered; The lights turned on automatically making Yuu and Grim surprised to run until they reached the dorm's treasure vault. "A little help here." Madaini told them pushing a bronze pot towards the door. Grim and Yuu were quick to help. Since the door could only be locked from the outside, this was the best they could do at the moment.

~Here goes~

Yuu was surprised that he hadn't lost the rhythm of the song at that point. Then he felt something brush his feet, it was Kalim's flying carpet.

~Better throw my hand in, wish me happy landin' ~

Madaini did not know how to control the carpet very well, but with the doors slamming more violently and the room only had windows overlooking the desert, they had no other options. He climbed onto the mat and held out his hand to Yuu. "Do you trust me?". she asked her. Yuu found it ironic, since Kalim had asked him the same thing when she took him for a ride a few nights ago. But, he would not deny help. He nodding he took her hand and went upstairs. "Quick funna!" Grim yelled as the doors cracked open and and screams could be heard.

~All I gotta do is jump~!

The members of Scarabia could only watch as the boys escaped on the carpet and flew across the bedroom… a while later the trio landed with a crash on Octavinelle.

Jamil showed a worried but calm face when his companions informed him of what had happened, although he could imagine what had happened from the screams, noise and music, he told them that Kalim had not woken up. That was because Jamil had given him some valerian.

He reassured the boys to go rest. When the black-haired one got to her room he soundproofed her and locked the door… And then she screamed. She threw herself on her bed throwing a tantrum worthy of a spoiled rich kid who didn't get what he asked for.

5 minutes passed before he calmed down, he had to think. He needed Yuu there, after all… Jamil wanted a cosort when he dethroned Kalim.

What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? ugh i hate admitting defeat but. but. i am aware that beloved beloved pynch band fic will probably never be finished. which is a SHAME because i have soooooooo much of it planned out i mean like. i've got full albums designed. most of the beats are mapped out. i've got fake tweets written up, i've got chapter titles and scene drafts. like the entire concept is there and i'm so obsessed with it. but i just. after all these years it is extremely unlikely that i am going to actually, you know. write it.

16. What are your writing strengths? beginnings. i am so good at beginnings. that's why i have so many wips. also i like to think i'm good at dialogue. i try to write conversationally even when it's not actually a conversation and i think that translates well to actual dialogue it's fun.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? endings. i can't end anything to save my LIFE. also just plots in general escape me. and i always end up writing 10k more words than i meant to.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? um other people who can do it definitely should! i however cannot do that. i did however use my extremely limited knowledge of the french language for the section headings in my most recent fic and i like the effect it produced i think.

19. First fandom you wrote for? all evidence of their existence has been wiped from the face of the earth but my very first fics were one star wars fic and one agents of shield fic circa like. 2015.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? legally i'm obligated to say c&b but right now actually i'm still very very happy with how exr rooftop fic turned out. literally the entire time i was writing it i was just having a blast. i love writing angst and stuff it's like chewing on a polly pocket toy. now that i'm evil i never wanna write fluff again. i'm torturing those fictional guys fr.

2011 Haylor Timeline

Timeline Tag

We don’t know the whole story

Although Harry and Taylor have never said when they met or started dating, often assumed to have met At the March 2012 Kids Choice Awards, because it was the first time we saw them together. 2 weeks after the awards Justin Bieber said a superstar liked Harry, but didn't name Taylor or say they met at the awards. I have a post about the Kids Choice awards/IKYWT Secret message and Harry's Jacket here.

A source close to Taylor later said to Vanity Fair he had chased her for a year, before the started dating, which was also before he kissed Emily Ostily on the 21 April 2012 and Taylor posted about infidelities to Instagram on 23 April 2012 (which doesn't make sense if they met 24 days earlier).

That would indicate they had met by March 2011. Which is likely as they were in the same city and locations throughout 2011. In 2014 Taylor told Rolling Stone:

"People think they know the whole narrative of my life, I think maybe that line is there to remind people that there are really big things they don’t know about."

As Taylor said to Time Magazine in 2023 and Harry said to Howard Stern in 2019 it's not in their interests for a new relationship to be public before they are solid.  In Harry's words 'it's never benefited me' for a relationship to be public. In 2011 people were sent death threats for having dinner with him. It's no wonder they were hidden for most of that time.  Special thanks to @cntfightmydemonsthyknowhowtoswim for help with this. You are the best.

hi again my favourite mitch scholar! i have a quick question. what line did mitch used to play on in his drbut year? and the few years after and how did the progression to him getting to play on auston’s wing looked like? thanks :)

hi there! disclaimer: i wasn't a fan way back when and it's actually pretty hard to find the lineups before about 2019, but from the couple things i've looked up here... this is the lineup from january 1st, 2017, which is about halfway through his first season.

he spent a lot of time playing with jvr and bozak if what i've read/remember is right. his average toi during 16-17 was a little under 17 minutes, and he was fairly productive, esp as a rookie.

for the 17-18, here's a few lineups i could find.

still playing quite a bit with jvr and bozak, and sometimes getting elevated (or demoted) but babcock really hated playing him with auston like...... ever, lol. even when things went stale, like they never played on the same line. you can go through @1634archive for things back from 2016/2017/2018 and see where they got to be on ice for goals at the same time whether they were out there for a shift or a powerplay, but there's not a TON that aren't warmups bc they rlly didn't play together much despite wanting to. you can also look through this thread i made on twitter about all of the goals they've combined on.. though there are zero their first year in the league bc they legitimately were never out there together.

it seems like the first time they were actually put on a line together on purpose was late january 2019 bc the lineup had gone THAT stale that babcock caved, lol. here's snippets of auston and babcock media availability about them getting to play together.. and also here's a radio interview (@3:30ish) auston did around that time too where he says he liked that he was put on a line with mitch and reiterates that he played w him virtually never at 5v5 the first 2.5 years.

the fact that auston even makes a comment about how much babcock doesn't like it is just so...... telling to me, lol. either babcock hated the fact that auston had a preference or opinions about the lineup and was sticking it to him by never giving him what he wanted or... he hated mitch or both or SOMETHING. they clearly had problems... p sure there are even reports babcock literally flew to arizona to smooth things over with him at some point... babcock was a really stubborn and hardass coach who thought a lot of demented shit so lol ANYWYA.

even after that first time they were allowed to play together.. mitch finished out the 18-19 year on jt's wing and started the 19-20 year on it too.

babcock was fired 23 games into the 19-20 season after they went 9-10-4 and were on a 5 game losing streak. here's an article about it. it only came out later about the making a rookie mitch rank his teammates list but just validated the firing even more.

and here we are into january of 2020 after sheldon keefe takes over and mitch gets back from an injury, lol. he immediately was willing to give them a shot and ever since, it's been something that's always on the table when lines need a shakeup.

there are a lot of conclusions you can come to with all this information i feel like, but i hope it was helpful!! this is why it drives me nuts when people act like mike babcock was valid to "keep them apart" aka literally never play them together for years no matter how stale and bad the lineup got like... it got his ass fired, lol. no it was not a valid way to be with two exceptional players. i'm not saying a coach should just listen to their players wishes 24/7, but the inability to accept feedback or take into account preferences is wild and will get you nowhere. i wasn't around for all that, but knowing what we all know about mike babcock now.... idk, i appreciate sheldon keefe's ability to adapt more. people can think what they want about him relying on parts of his lineup as "crutches" but realistically, we don't know about his relationships with the players and 1634 are consistently the best and most dangerous part of the lineup year after year these days.

mitch and auston put up career numbers playing next to each other, and both of them know it and have wanted it since they developed their little warmup routine as literal rookies, and they're hopefully gonna get to play together for a long long time like elliotte said. :)

Cap-IM Rec Week - Golden Oldie Thursday

Day 4 of @cap-ironman's rec week event!

It was hard to pick from all my pre-2019 bookmarks, so my criteria for this list were a little more limited than the prompt. These are some of my favorite fics that are more than 10 years old, and haven't appeared on one of my previous rec lists.

A Particular Style by sinuous_curve (MCU | Explicit | No Archive Warnings Apply | 3,640 words)

Date: August 12, 2012

Date: October 31, 2009

Date: March 18, 2013

Summary: Everything would have been fine if Fury had just let them sleep before the debrief, but no, that would be too easy. But Super-Soldiers need their sleep, and problems are caused when they don't get it. Billionaires, though...they hardly need to sleep at all, right?

in 2019, my ex-bf tried to kill me. his name is Joseph Mathew Chapoy, from Dallas/Grand Prairie, Texas.

The last 4 years I have been homeless since I left him. I changed a lot from the Shahani before I met Joseph.

At this moment , I have no words to describe the internal and ongoing tumultuous triggers, body shakes, disassociation, psychosis, nightmares, and all other spirit-body issues that arise after an actual near-death. I tried to heal by sharing the details of the HORRENDOUS physical, mental, emotional, psychological abuse I experienced from Joseph and his entire family. Every time I look back, and slowly coming back to present on a consistent basis, it gives me a "horror" feeling in my stomach. The day he PHYSICALLY STRANGULATED ME WITH MY CAR SEAT BELT. This wasn't the first time. He had beaten me to a pulp before that I had to go to ER for TBI. Then he sat on my neck (I am/was 98 lbs, and he is 250 lbs). Then the third time was strangulation with car seat belt.

I hated myself so much for not saying anything. Even now I feel guilty saying his name. Everyone ws always fucking telling me how "crazy" I was that I was with him in the first place.

Even talking about it is making me grossed out by myself. How "low" was I that I put myself in that position where he kept beating me, strangling me. 2019 doesn't seem that far away either. And after I came back to CA in 2020, I met Carlos who I'm so so so sorry I love him still so much :( I know he didn't mean to hurt me; he has unhealed wound from his dad. And I hate that I am making excuses. I know I triggered him because I shared with him everything about what happened with me and Joseph.

Joseph is in prison at the moment but I think he will be released this winter, and I want to put it out there NOT as a "cancel" but as a reminder, because I don't have the money to file a restraining order.

Veronica Mars

I love a lot of procedurals, but this one found me at 19 and stole my soul. I love Kristen so much and refuse to accept that the final few minutes of season 4 exists. This is my ultimate rewatch, s1 all the way through. (Still haven't finished s4 though because of its ending).

2. Castle

Again. 19. Found this one in the same year, found out it was a crime procedural with a writer as the protagonist. SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.

3. Law and Order (original recipe)

I've only seen from s13 on because of the limitations with NBC streaming options, but I do love Jack. Dick Wolf found lightning in a bottle with this franchise.

4. Criminal Minds

(have we sensed a theme here yet?)

Guess when I found this one? (Still 2011.) My mom loved Shemar Moore on Y&R when I was a kid, so starting this one was easy. She doesn't get into the borderline gore and horror of CM though, so she'll really only watch the lighter episodes. Me? Seen everything up through 15 (school and work have kept me too busy for 16 yet).

5. 9-1-1

SOMETHING FROM AFTER 2011?! Found this one in the pandie. My best friend was watching it (we'd talked about it a few times from what I recall), and I know my mom was already into it and I had plans to watch it, but I was already in school, and 2019/20 was rough on my mental health between my job closing its doors, the pandemic starting, and me being back in school. Buck has literally always been my favorite. He's who I relate to most, and given the focus I put into the most recent rewatch, it's obvious why. We have a lot of things in common, both personality-wise and with childhood trauma. That all said, I've had spurts and starts with this baby. Started it in 2020, got caught up. Went through the mess of school taking over my life and falling off here and there, playing catch-up. I know I was fairly caught up in season 6, but post-infection with the brain damage, I kinda had to do the full rewatch this year.

6. Grey's Anatomy

Quite literally grew up with this one. My aunt told my mom, who told us, and then by season 3, the whole family was watching. I fell off for a beat when Mark died (he was my favorite), but then really fell off when Derek died. Only started playing catch up when I found out about Nick and the fact that Ellen wanted to leave the show. I knew they'd give her a happy ending (of sorts), which drove me to watch everything I'd missed (plus my mom still watched even when I quit, so I knew about Deluca, who she loved).

7. Nashville

Loved this one basically from the jump. Anything with music has the opportunity to steal my soul. It's also one of the reasons I can't get into the hate for Abby on 9-1-1. This show made me loved Connie Britton too much.

8. Schitt's Creek

So this one 😂😂😂 I think I started Schitts Creek three(?) separate times? Never got into it. The humor was too dry, I didn't really feel anything about it all, and...idk. It was just not my cup of tea.

And then my life went to shit 😂😂😂 In all seriousness though, this was one of those shows that I can point to and say "this one saved me". The way it made me laugh in the face of some really unimaginable pain and an existential crisis is something I will never forget. Definitely due for a rewatch this summer.

9. One Tree Hill

So. I started this show in season 2. Went out of my way to watch it after starting The OC halfway through both shows inaugural seasons. Literally everyone I knew didn't give two craps about this show then. They didn't care when it was nearly cancelled after season 4, and how hard the fans fought for season 5. Most of them didn't even really care after season 6 when CMM and Hilarie Burton were cut from the show. Nah, most of the people I know found OTH when it hit streaming a few years ago. I have complicated feelings about it now, given what we know about how MS treated the girls, and all of the trauma inflicted on them. I know that SB, HB, and BJL all support us still watching, but it's rough for me to contend with that even so.

10. Pretty Little Liars

So..... I haven't watched this since it ended. It started when I was 17/18, so I was easily sucked in by the teacher/student concept and fell in love with Ezria. I also had watched American Juniors and knew who Lucy was (and subsequently lusted after her making music for AGES; still do). However, being a full-fledged adult now with babies in school (my niece is in HS now), I can't justify how problematic this ship is.

BONUS:

11. Instant Star

Soooo a generous chunk of people know who Tim Rozon is now because of Schitts Creek and Wynona Earp, but have they seen this baby? Because I started this one after remembering Alexz Johnson from So Weird when she eneded up on IS in 2004. This was the show that got me through the end of of middle school and into high school, and I still listen to the music occasionally. I've done a few rewatches of it as an adult, and while I still don't like the age difference, these two at least waited until she was 18.

{Apr 2022} Bad Luck Charlie

{2022 Reading Challenge: book 19/40} {Review originally posted on Goodreads}

★★★ (3/5)

Author: Scott Baron Pages: 392 Main genre: Sci Fi, Fantasy Serial?: 1The Dragon Mage #1 Release date: 2019

🚨🚨Spoilers ahead🚨🚨

Bad Luck Charlie is a story about a space engineer forced to join the maiden voyage of his rich employer's new ship and dragged down a path of slavery, piracy, and magic due to a malfunction of his ship that lands him somewhere far, far away from home.

I liked it enough (hence the 3 stars and having finished it), but there are enough issues to drop a couple points. Among them:

Charlie is apparently an excellent engineer, head of his team (or in a similar position of authority), however as soon as he's abducted by aliens he completely forgets everything scientific. I get it, this new world runs by magic, but that doesn't mean basic math and physics stop working! The most technical thing he puts his skills towards is disassembling a toilet. That's it. He knows this galaxy has subpar tech, even acknowledging they haven’t discovered the wheel yet, but doesn’t even think about capitalizing on all that knowledge to improve his situation. He could have been replaced by just any buff military dude with zero engineering background and it would have actually made more sense.

Re. the alien civilization(s?): what a great coincidence that in a galaxy light-years away evolution has seen fit to develop intelligent species all humanoid-like! The weirder alien we see is almost human, except for having his eyes on stalks. Asides from that they’re pretty much pantone humans. Charlie talks about some of them having different physiology but there is no proof of different functioning – we actually get tidbits that point the other way: all cells have toilets (so no strange eating or evacuating habits a la Project Hail Mary), all male slaves that work for women are castrated (so they have testicles, therefore reproduce sexually in a way similar to humans). Also, Charlie is abducted but his race and origin are never questioned, which points to him looking kinda the same as all other aliens.

Lastly: there are a couple of named women in the book (4? 5? versus a ton of named men), of which: one shows up for less than one chapter and is a horny idiot (she’s porking a co-worker during work hours and her “sex-addled brain” causes faulty chips to end up in the ship), two more die pretty soon, one is a servant (last chapter), and one is actually a pretty capable and cool character but ends up being lobotomized for mysterious reasons – apparently she “couldn’t be tamed”, but Charlie couldn’t either so why doesn’t he get the same treatment? A whole new civilization eons away with dozens of strange races and we still can’t escape sexism, lol

I was confused about Cassie being labeled the daughter of Zeus in the chapter, personally. I thought she was the granddaughter?? After being granted magic shoes?

So- this is one of those 'it's different pre-flashpoint vs post-flashpoint' things.

First of all, to go over stuff pre-reboot, Zeus granted her actual powers- the Sandals of Hermes that first let her fly were actually Diana's that she'd just been borrowing. Anyways tho, when Cassie approached Zeus asking for powers, them being related to one another was not at all established yet. She just... went up to a god like that.

(Wonder Woman (1987) #122)

Later, after her identity went public and she'd received a letter from someone claiming to be her father, she approached Zeus about it- thinking that it might be him.

(Wonder Woman (1987) #181)

While he denied it to her face when asked, it was shown to us as an audience when she went to see the person who'd sent the letter... that is was in fact Zeus.

(Wonder Woman (1987) #183)

A while later she finally gets told the truth, that he is in fact her dad:

(Wonder Woman (1987) #217)

So pre-reboot she was his daughter.

However, the New 52 changed that.

During N52 Teen Titans since ya know, everyone's history and development got sent backwards and altered yadda yadda, Cassie once again didn't know who her father was. In this version of continuity she initially believes her powers solely come from the Silent Armor she wears, but later when Trigon fights the team and digs in her brain a bit he implies there's things she doesn't know about who she really is- having to do with the father that didn't raise her.

(Teen Titans Vol. 4 #19)

Now from some clues in the picture, one could piece together that this is Lennox, one of Zeus' children, (primarily that his general appearance matches how he looks in the Wonder Woman comic around the same timeframe, and that he has those cracks on his face- he's got skin that behaves like it's made of stone) but that's not something Cassie knows. So the whole 'who is my father and what is my true lineage' thing remains a question she's grappling with, but doesn't really get addressed in detail for a bit.

Later when the Titans are on the run after the whole 'We broke into a prison to try to clear Superboy's name but whoops he actually did do the murders he was accused of, and we escaped after being arrested,' situation, Cassie begins hearing what she thinks is her father calling out to her. Unfortunately Lennox is already dead at this point, ya know how it is, but when she follows the voice and finds his severed statue head we do get it clearly stated by her aunt Cassandra that she is a granddaughter of Zeus.

(Teen Titans Vol. 5 #17)

Now... in general Cassie showed up so little in the Rebirth era (like... she was in Young Justice! And uh... not much else!) that it's very unclear how much her origins were altered at that point, and throwing Infinite Frontier into the mix now just adds more questions... BUT both YJ 2019 and Wonder Girl 2021 have stuck with her as Zeus' granddaughter now like in the N52 rather than her as his daughter like pre-reboot.

(Wonder Girl (2021) #7)

So WFA labelling her as his daughter was just them using her original connection to Zeus rather than the updated one.

I know Rob is very private about his personal life and family. Which I whole-heartedly support, cause there are some crazy people out there. But do we know if that "father of 4" comment was a joke or he indeed has 4 kids. The Internet only lists one, but then again, the Internet still says his birthday is the 23rd

Thanks for the ask

There is a lot of contradictory information about Rob on the Internet, so I think it’s understandable that you get curious about what is really true. The false information don't seem to bother Rob, or maybe he even welcomes them, or has let them spread himself ;)

But what are the exact clues to the truth. Only his eldest son Milo is usually mentioned on the Internet. But Jim Carter tells us in this interview that Rob has four children.

I don't have the impression that Jim means it jokingly and at least Rob doesn't seem to disagree.

In this interview that @theatrefan2022 reminded me of (thanks for that), says Jim again that Rob has “a couple” of children and Phyllis Logan confirms that there are four children and even reveals that he has twins. Here is the important passage:

And Rob himself briefly mentioned a preschool daughter in this interview on Sunday Brunch in 2019 (around 1:19).

So it’s not confirmed that he has four children, but there are some solid indications that it’s true.
