yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

Peter B admitting to Miles that the non stop tragedies and losses shaping their stories are hard, harsh, and , knowing they can do something about it, cruel even. Then saying the GOOD aspects essentially outshine them. But that's not true. That's a classic toxic positivity line, used to justify shitty, unequal politics. " But at least we have this one good thing" WE CAN HAVE THAT GOOD THING AND NOTHING ELSE. WE AREN'T MADE TO BE IN PAIN, AND PAIN SHOULDN'T MAKE A HERO.
What Miguel doesn't understand is they don't owe the world suffering.

the buddie playlist, pigeonxp edition.
for a smidge of context, some of the songs are not specifically buddie coded to me. some of the songs can be considered specifically eddie or specifically buck coded, such as My Kink is Karma, which i (in the context of this playlist) consider eddie specific. there are a few like this but the majority is buddie specific.
as another mention, this is my opinion only, hence the title. i am open to suggestions to this playlist and it is always ready to be added to.

if cross were to compare himself to any celestial being, he'd say the stars. a star. just one.
not any specific one. he's not important enough to be a specific one, to be named.
if he were to be asked why, he'd say he hasn't given it much thought. there's a million stars. billion. infinite. and none are recognizable, except when grouped up with others, made into constellations. they all look the same.
maybe he'll get deep about it. something about being a derivative of another. an infinte number of others, who all look identical to him. or nearly identical. close enough.
but the way you look at him...
you look at him like he's a star, like he's a million starts, billion stars, an infinite number of stars. like he's the moon and the planets and the galaxies and nebulae.
you look at him like he's recognizable. like you could look up into the sky, point him out each and every time.
you're a satellite, made specifically to orbit him, observe him, accompany him.
he doesn't even know that much about space.

I know it's not even October, but hear me out: should I write a holiday fic this year?
I came up with a few ideas for Christmas/winter fics last year, but by the time I had the ideas it was way too late to start writing them in time to actually post them during the holiday season. This year, I thought it might be a good idea to get a head start, so I'm trying to put some feelers out and see if there's any interest.
DESCRIPTIONS (READ BEFORE VOTING)
(Yes, these are all inspired by movies lmao)
The Santa Clause AU
Inspired by the Tim Allen movie, set a year or two after Ellen and Oscar's divorce (so Alex would be a few years older than the kid in the movie and probably a bit more tight-lipped about the whole "my dad is Santa" thing 😂), a scheduling mishap prevents Ellen from being able to spend Christmas with her kids. June is able to make arrangements with a friend, but Alex has to get on a plane by himself to fly out to California to visit Oscar at the last minute. Things are a little awkward between them, until something weird happens...
Frozen AU
Not a whole lot to say here, it's basically the plot of the movie... with less singing, and probably less talking snowmen 😂 (sorry, Olaf... love you buddy... wait... could Nora be a talking snowman... would y'all hate me for that 👀)
A Christmas Carol AU
A Kensington divergence fic where Alex never flies to Kensington (or Henry tells him to leave, one or the other) and the emails never get leaked. Henry falls asleep on Christmas Eve and wakes up in the middle of the night to find the ghost of Arthur Fox in his bedroom.
Single All The Way AU
Inspired by one of my favorite silly Hallmark-y Christmas movies, Alex breaks up with his cheater boyfriend right before he's supposed to go home for Christmas, and asks his roommate Henry to come home with him and pretend to be his boyfriend so his family doesn't try to set him up with anyone over the holidays. Henry reluctantly agrees, but things don't go quite the way they plan...
You know the drill, reblog for a bigger sample size, etc...

Being second generation half Russian in Canada is like a weird purgatory bc of course i reap all the benefit of white privilege and pass as just another white Canadian mf yet ppl still treat your country of origin as some crazy foreign boogeyman and regurgitate insane propaganda, but if your parents retained their communist moral compass (75% of them turned into materialistic consoomers the moment the country opened up) you also just feel this immense cognitive disconnect from the west and Canadian ideology. It's like an identity in here ...
