i can see you in the spaces you might have been.

like looking in vain at where the furniture isn’t.

I think the reason a lot of people say the season 7 and 8 opening disasters came very close to being their favorites, but still never beat the tsunami, is because the Tsunami was inherently very grounded and very realistic. Like it had all the classic drama elements but at the end of the day it was a natural disaster, the horror of having been at the wrong place at the wrong time, of trying your best to do your job and save people but being faced with the destruction of nature, about thinking that at least your family, your son, your brother is safe and away from it (only to find out they weren't, that they were in more danger than you could have ever imagined).

The entirety of that arc had me hooked from start to finish, I watched it over and over again, and it never stops putting me on the edge of my seat.

Meanwhile I was rolling my eyes at a cop flying a plane, her firefighter husband stealing a fake fire engine and clearing the highway so she can land it , then running away to solve a crime where her husband is saved from a bullet by the perp she was traveling. Like okay. It's all fun and drama but it's also unrealistic as fuck and it'll never have the emotional resonance of the tsunami

we talk a lot about Shauna being ruthless and violent and resentful, and not to say she isn't those things but also--

Shauna, who risks burning alive to save Van.

Shauna, who pauses to comfort the reunited Tai & Van after the latter is found safe

Shauna, who consoles and looks after Javi all through season 1 while his older brother is busy being misogynistic and getting fucked

Shauna, who takes on the job of butcher despite not necessarily wanting or enjoying it and never complains or slacks off even when the task becomes traumatizing

Shauna, who tries to get Jackie to eat, to keep going, when everyone else has given up on her by that point.

Shauna, who has to be goaded, essentially given permission before she becomes violent

Shauna, who loved her baby in spite of the stress her pregnancy added to an already precarious situation, who spoke to him and cradled him and futily tried to keep him alive, who buried him away from the others to keep him safe in death

Shauna, who kept her daughter's favorite childhood toy in her car long after she'd outgrown it, to always keep a piece of her close by

Shauna, who sees Tai struggling and invites her to stay over, so that Tai won't be afraid to sleep

Shauna, who goes along with Jeff's boring, milqtoast furniture salesman fantasies because while she doesn't love him the way she did Jackie, she does care about him and wants to make him happy

Shauna, who was the only one of the group to show up to Misty's how to get away with murder seminar and thank Misty for going to the trouble

Shauna, who is soft-spoken where Jackie is loud, conciliatory where Jackie is pushy, helpful where Jackie is lackadaisical, proactive where Jackie sulks.

Shauna, who's not a perfect friend or mother or wife but who's still quietly one of the nicest, most empathetic of the Yellowjackets and yet because she got drafted into being the group's butcher, wrote bitchy journal entries, and did one fucked up thing behind her best friend's back (which she immediately regretted and agonized over) gets rebranded by fandom as caustic, overly-snarky and quick tempered when it takes her 10 episodes to get pissed off enough to raise her voice

Niche politics tip: If you start dissociating from politics so much it starts feeling like each side is akin to a football team or a game, you might need to take a step back in order to recuperate.

When you're so caught up in politics that you need to dissociate from the humanity of it in order to engage with politics, that's not a good sign. It's especially not a good sign when we are talking about human rights

Seeing characters in romance stories just jetting between countries at a moment's notice with no thought for visa; seeing airports as sites of triumphant climaxes and romantic denouements instead of places of fear and danger where a sword hangs above your head— it all breaks off little pieces of my heart. They're constant reminders that my people will never be human enough in the colonial world order to be allowed to move freely around it. No matter what your race, those non-refugees living in the Global North will never understand what it's like to be part of a global ghetto where your passport is nothing but a trembling supplication and humiliation.

actually i think billys the type that in 20 years he would be found living on a houseboat in the florida keys, a string of men coming in and out but never settling down because billys never found The One (he compares every man to his high school rival and they never quite stack up)

Lmao, alternate universe of Season 1 where Saiki's in a relationship with Satou (or like pre relationship?) while Chiyo and Terhuhashi are both simping for him.

I just think it'd be funny if the whole time these two are trying to be with him, Saiki is totally head over heels for this average ass boi

Especially if while they're in Okinawa, Saiki's with Satou a lot of the time. I mean, Toritsuka's class is canonically on the trip too. And neither Teruhashi nor Chiyo of them notice Satou bc he just blends in so well.

Like, while Chiyo and Teruhashi are trying to show off their bathing suits or whatever, Saiki's just staring at Satou's unbelievably average self.

Or after Saiki gets the hotel back he goes to check on Satou.

Oh, and hey, might as well have Saiki say oh wow about Satou maybe.

baby I'll come back to you: chapter 11

Chapter 11: must have done something right 'cause all these lights are green

Showing up at the lot where they film The Late Late Show With Podrick Payne feels supremely weird to Jon. 

It’s been years since he was on a talk show, gave an interview of any sort. Davos had warned they’d be doing lots of press leading up to and following the release of Sucker, but the thought of appearing on this show and speaking about himself every single night this week sort of makes his skin crawl. 

He knows it’s just something he’ll have to readjust to. It might even be better this time— knowing that he can pretty much say whatever he wants, won’t have to skirt questions and twist the truth to put forward that perfect, squeaky-clean image Disney was so insistent on. But after so long not having to do any of this, it still feels strange to Jon. 

New chapter is up! Read it here on AO3!
