🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

uuuhm, this next one, but it's more about lack of energy and time and impetus and like, life stuff (i just had the power outage that kind of shook me up, idk, it was a rough few days, i got stir crazy, wasn't great for my mental health, shortly after that i got sick, so not great for my physical health, i feel i'm still recovering from both tbh...). it is a little bit about being frozen in the decision-making process, i guess...i can't decide between splitting a 1525 scene to the next one in the timeline, or actually doing a few 1525, and a few 1526, to feel the full impact of the beginning of the love story versus where it is at now, fragile, with the ice cracking beneath their feet...because if i do that it will definitely be at least one full flashback chapter before we get back to 1535.

also, i need to get back to beaulieu to the rochfords, to update that storyline and to let the readers see those characters react to the latest development...

the overarching thing is actually getting to this damn funeral, im ngl, it's like??? idk i feel like that's sort of the thing i really need to push forward (maybe even i should get to it first, and then write *recent* flashbacks preceding it, just hopefully that wouldn't be too jarring...there's a lot of timeline jumping but i have tried to keep the 1535, straight chronological, i only have two flashback scenes for 1535 plotted thus far, and it's way back around the same week, around anne's miscarriage and the ballad that gets a court fool banished), then we get to eltham late 1535 until new year, back at greenwich for january 1536 and then the plot really unrolls...i have thought about actually writing that portion in an actual, like, you know those alternate history fic formats where they write it as a series of primary and secondary sources based on the AU timeline? since it is an official event. yet i also have scenes at the funeral i want to do, so maybe some combination between the two...?

spoilers ig so read more:

like literally, before i get to the funeral i have planned: henry/anne flashbacks and then confrontation, scenes with the seymours, the rochfords return to court and visit, anne and cromwell meet and discuss the visitations of the monasteries (which i want to contrast with that continuation of the scene where he first sees her in 1528, they will be interacting in that one asw, their first interaction actually) and...other things, anne speaks with norris (cranmer observes, this might be before the latter actually if i stick with the original outline)...anne and henry discuss the monasteries...and THEN the funeral. was the outline. how i'm here, idk. somehow i'm here.

(*oh, also, i might have anne and norfolk meet and discuss the funeral and other...things. like, already that's a lot, so i might scrap that or make it *very* brief. maybe i will simply have one chapter with All the Meetings...like alison dilaurentis the night she went missing and saw everyone in rosewood....)

late december with have a lot of revelations too, at eltham, connected with coa ailing... obviously that is going to impact mary (tudor's) arc a lot asw...ok. won't say more. there's just a lot of it.

yeah anyway tl; dr i just feel like i have a lot of plates spinning in the air. that's what i'm struggling with rn. just got to learn to take one thing at at time. it's difficult for me! i wish to do everything...

[beachesgetpeaches]

a lot of discussion on whether the black dog is for this man or that man but honestly i think the most interesting thing here is the idea that it would be the name for the actual pub

and that taylor "ruined" someone's local pub (namely joe's, don't want to assume song muses but stick w me for a moment)

BECAUSE... the specific pub that people have located has gone online to actually comment on the situation, and have stated that they have a certain blond regular. which apparently A LOT of people (ok tiktok ig) took as 100% confirmation that this is

1) joe's song

2) joe's local

as if the staff and owners wouldn't see the attention their place is getting online already without them stirring the pot. they were getting amazing exposure even before this comment and this should really switch it up for them like long-term. if you're a dedicated swiftie you're likely to go there just to yknow acknowledge the place

but here's my thinking and that is that typically these establishments frequented by celebrities have some respect towards them (imo), and especially in europe i think? maybe im wrong. if joe really would frequent that place i would hope that the staff/owner would not actually throw it out like that and disturb his peace. (esp bcs i think they imply he would be a regular)

id hope the staff of actual place is would deny any celebrity presence and let the hype die down.

all that to say i think swifties going crazy about the black dog (specifically the place getting hype now) should actually not give it more hype bcs they are either riding this train to get profit (which yeah good for them if they can do it), and are exploiting vagueness to further encourage people to visit (implying joe frequenta). or they're riding the train and have actually served their regular on a platter (for profit) which is icky to me.

[mafaldaknows]

So only 1 1/2 years later and we’re back to the fun sneaky pic stage on our favorite island! Yeah, I would say things are really going well🤢🤮🤢🤮 (yes im mad, the entire situation drives me crazy and I’m not talking about Armie spending time with his kids)!

Hello, Anon:

It would seem that someone in his vicinity wants to stir the pot, but in which direction, and why, remains unknown, except to them.

I don’t think this means anything especially dire in the grand scheme of things. If Armie is ever to maintain any sort of meaningful relationship with his children, he will need to be a presence in this person’s life as well, regardless of how he or anyone feels about this person.

The situations in which this person chooses to play Where’s Waldo: Armie Hammer Edition™️ on IG are the usual gatherings oriented around family, where one might expect to see the father of their children present and actively engaged or just part of the scenery. I see nothing nefarious so far in this person’s intentions for surreptitiously featuring him in the background, not at its face value, anyway.

I think this is a good thing, no matter how it’s presented to us. His presence at these events is an expectation of any co-parent, and Armie has the freedom and ability to be fully present in his children’s lives. These are the things that matter, imho.

I think that this person’s video shenanigans should cause concern only if we allow them to affect our own peace of mind and mental well-being with their Instagram BS.

I know it’s frustrating, but please do try your best to be unbothered by them. Don’t give them the power to affect your emotions. They’re not worth the attention or the effort, and it’s pointless to get agitated by circumstances and other people’s antics over which we have no control.

Here’s the silver lining to all of this: We get to see Armie now, however fleeting.

Thanks for your comment. ☺️❤️🧿✨✌️

[letstalkaboutfandomsbaby]

sometimes the stress and anxiety of working (esp w the public rn) slowly builds overtime. this happened to me recently too.

nanami would scoop you up and casually remind you he’s lowkey loaded and could take wonderful care of you, like you are sooo good to him already. and that means you can bake him banana and pumpkin bread more if you’re home more just sayi—

Thinking back on it, i think it was just a build up of a lot of shit that happened today and the breaking point was when i spilled boiling water on my hand. I think my brain was just like "yea ok we gotta release some chemicals or else we're gonna die" and the result was me crying skskksks but im better now, i have food and im watching Adventures In Babysitting :)

ANYWAYS lemme expand on the Nanami shit bc you are really speaking my language rn sksksk tbh this is just gonna be self indulgent

Ok but it is so difficult for me to let ppl take care of me

Like i just can't fucking take it like i need to take care of other ppl I can't have them taking care of me bc then I feel guilty and awful it's the trauma sksksk

ANYWAYS bc i'm like this I can def see Nanami and I butting heads about him taking care of me

Like ik for a fact that Nanami's love language is acts of service and gifts like he has to take care of his s/o in order to feel fulfilled and happy

BUT THEN THERE'S ME who can't stand when ppl worry about me and try to take care of me bc i'm so used to taking care of others and idk what to do when the tables are turned and I'M the one being taken care of

I'm just so used to having to be strong and independent that idk how to let ppl take care of me ig sksksk

So Nanami and I would struggle a bit

But then I imagine him picking me up from work after what happened to me today and he just gets so upset when he finds out that i cried at work and he just decides that he's going to take care of me whether i like it or not sksksk

He'd pretty much force me to move in with him and quit my job bc he'd rather die than see me that stressed about a job

Doesn't want me to lift a pretty finger and it's! So frustrating! Bc i've been working since I was 16, idk anything else so staying at home and just relaxing? Enjoying my time? Oh god, i'd go stir-crazy sksksk

But he reassures me again and again that he wants to do this for me and that taking care of me makes him happy

Anyways i end up developing like 50 hobbies including going out and playing board games with old ladies sksksk

I would bake! So often! Nanami's gonna have to work out a bit more bc he's def gotten fatten up with me living with him sksksk

I'm talking apple pies, banana bread, cookies, cupcakes, EVERYTHING, there's gonna be so many sweets around that he's gonna get sick of it but lowkey he wouldn't bc he adores me so much and loves my cooking

He'd also spoil me and take me shopping and to the salon to get my nails done and pretty much treat me like a queen

And I'd be so overwhelmed by all the love and affection that I would have to like double down on all the shit i do for him so more baking and more sex sksksk like i wouldn't know what to do!!!

ANYWAYS

I would love to be spoiled by him and i would cry if he bought me earrings 🥺💕

[enchantedisabella]

Modern Greek Gods

my ig is vivacityandvellichor

Apollo: patron god of memes/vines. absolutely has a meme acc with over a million followers. you think peter parker, a fucking gen z meme legend, isn’t his illegitimate child? that he made just to spite athena with spiders? you are w r o n g

Zeus: the one those Straight White Guys (ew) pray to. often they place maga hats at his altar but even Zeus isn’t that much of a douchebag to support tr*mp and he burns them and strikes those guys with lightning at once. he’s that kind of dad that refuses to vaccinate his kids tho (sigh)

Athena: literally the inventor of just fucking shitposts that mess with your head and are filmed by Apollo saying shit like ‘i have faced God and stepped over Her heaven to get to my throne’. probably runs a shitpost acc and a feminism acc at the same time with wildly different posts, but everyone knows it’s her. there’s even accounts comparing her captions on her different accs bc one will be like ‘big mood gonna go die now bc for some reason i didn’t want the tide pod challenge to die and I DID IT wtf is wrong w me im begging for the sweet release of death’ and the other will be like ‘systematic oppression is only beneficial to straight white males who will continue to oppress poc, women and lgbt+ if they don’t recognise their privilege’

Persephone: kindest person ever. except when you try her, karma’s gonna be a bitch to you. usually she just stays home and plays with her cats, probably spends half her life as a stalker on tumblr or running an aesthetic ig, and the other half baking muffins to throw in the face of her enemies but also to give the best ones to her mom. is definitely taylor swift reincarnated, there’s no doubt.

Demeter: andrea swift reincarnated. that soft friend who will go batshit crazy if something happens to her precious daughter. 100/10 has a very good mother-daughter relationship. hates gossip column blogs but loves it when the tea is served for someone that deserves it. (kanye anyone?)

Aphrodite: works at buzzfeed, no doubt. one of those fashion bloggers with a ridiculously huge influence over celebrities even though all they do is post outfit combinations and promote products, and always has steaming hot tea to serve on every website available. loves dishing out to demeter and gets along surprisingly well with apollo who is also invited to those premieres with her (though for different reasons ofc). runs the most colourful ig acc ever, has an insane amount of followers. wakes up with perfect hair and no one knows how.

Poseidon: youtuber. one of those annoying ones who always say to subscribe to their channel before really doing anything much or saying anything worthwhile? like, why not say it at the end when people actually know what your content is about??? always gets invited to those youtuber conventions but hellaaa problematic. not a total dirtbag, supports feminism and everything, but he just has an overall toxic personality. athena stays tf away. somehow is actually lowkey hot tho and has had flings with every other well known celeb who lives near him.

Hades: HIGHKEY anime stan. pretends to like shit like my chemical romance but actually jams to one direction when alone. video games and pokemon go is their life 24/7, but they still try to hide the fact that they waste their (probably few) remaining days on it even tho everyone already knows. has tried tiktok once and went viral for being hilariously fucking bad. definitely has a meme face. apollo once made a meme out of hades’ face to spite him but it actually also went viral and now hades is known as the ‘pikachu corndog guy ’ around the internet. sometimes ppl ask for selfies on the street and he h a t e s it. will flip them off but can’t swear without sounding like a twelve year old who hasn’t gone through puberty.

Dionysus: is incredibly good at tiktok. once did such a smooth pop and lock with six of his nymphs that it went viral. can shuffle up the stairs like hell was freezing over but he didn’t give a shit. runs those eating asmr accs that’s mainly just him stirring drinking wine super loudly until he passes out (somehow still gets a staggering ton of views), but before that, poseidon makes sure to film all the stupid shit he says to put it on his youtube channel. athena’s sometimes there too and uses his overconfident phrases for her shitposts. needless to say, dionysus is a legend on stan twitter.

Ares: will Fite you. is literally the equivalent of a human trash can. people do put maga hats at his altar and he fucking wears them like the fucking trashbag scum that he is. athena plots different strategies to kill him and has polls for the best ones on her story. Straight White Guy trashhhhhhhhh. nobody likes him. he runs an ig acc with maybe four followers at best, and they’re all just all his other own accs that he uses to anonymously harass athena so she can’t shove his own failures into his face. she always knows it’s him, though. people beat him into pulp on online arguments but he refuses to admit that he’s wrong. gets a kick out of harassing people on the subway. athena refers to him as ‘it’ every time she talks about him because she says that subhuman feces should be referred to by the correct pronouns.

Hephaestus: that one sleazy guy at school who’s best friends with hades but isn’t as bad as asshole ares. knows that ares is morally wrong, but still is kind of ok with him unlike everyone else. wouldn’t go so far as to like him tho. that geeky guy who always gets invited to parties. nobody knows how, but he’s in the ‘popular’ crowd, but often overlooked. some people think that it’s because he does all his hw for them, but actually, hephaestus is that guy who’s sleazy and cheap but really slick and conniving. can get himself into any club. that guy who only uses social media to stalk others, and he follows like 1000+ people but nobody will follow him. kind of a douche but not so much to become revolting. haaaaaates poseidon bc they’re both toxic af and recognise it in each other but not in themselves. that guy who apologises for a racist thing from eight years ago that’s been brought up. actually means the apology but doesn’t have much empathy.

Hera: rules wattpad and i mean rules it. her stories basically win every bad boy x good girl cliché award ever. terrible grammar but somehow has a shit ton of votes and comments. has had a string of shitty boyfriends but only has eyes for zeus, the most problematic guy ever whom she keeps on returning to. she blogs about all her relationship failures mostly because she’s too hooked up on zeus, and all her ten million followers tell her to get some therapy or help but she never does. queen of falling into toxic relationships and honestly athena hates her personally but feels really sorry for her. probably doesn’t understand feminism all that much but still wants equal rights for everyone. doesn’t care if you’re lgbt or a diff race, and i don’t mean accepting i mean she literally does not give a flying fuck. one of those ppl who is ‘fake woke’ bc they actually do have good morals at heart but say things like ‘i don’t see colour’ only for athena to reply scathingly w things like ‘you actually do, you just don’t want to acknowledge your own white privilege by admitting it bc to admit it is to admit that you actually have been born w an upper hand’. def is one of those straight white girls who actually are decent and try their hardest to understand racism but just can’t get it. vents on wattpad yet somehow only gains followers.

Artemis: ah, saved the best for last. arty is a fucking queen, she’s the one who consistently burns tr*mp on twitter and challenges views. probably an actual activist irl who is v well known and promotes herself through ig. is probably best friends with taylor swift and emma watson. probably lowkey has the best singing voice and is actually an artist using music to protest. is mutuals with her feminist acc with athena on instagram. probably best friends w her and they do everything together, run a joint private finsta with a fairly small following of 500 people but post the most aesthetic bff photos.

Tall Tales and Short Stories

Pairing: Gabriel x reader

Words: 1300+

Summary: You manage to befriend the strange janitor at your college.

Based on the request by: @becca-boop1310​

Warnings: Bullying

A/N: My hiatus is over. Miss me?

[General masterlist]

Nobody ever notices the people in the background. Nobody thanks the lunch lady for serving food, nobody asks the librarian how their day was, nobody ever says hello to the janitor. And that's exactly what Gabriel was counting on.

As the janitor of Crawford Hall University, the Trickster could go anywhere, listen in on anyone, and nobody would bat an eye. It was the perfect disguise, hiding in plain sight. Nobody would ever know, hell nobody would ever ask, who he was.

Except to keep up this cover, sometimes Gabriel actually had to do- ugh- work. He was an archangel, for crying out loud, and he was sweeping the floor!

Cafeteria duty always sucked the most. The mess hall looked like a hurricane had hit it once the students moved out. And dear dad, the jocks ate like there was no tomorrow and cleaned up like there was no trash can.

Today was no different. The students at the university were sitting at their tables of cliques, chattering on about midterms. Honestly, it was worse than high school.

The sounds of a tray clattering to the floor notified Gabriel that it was time to move out of the corner and do his dumb job. A student was on their hands and knees, grabbing items that had been spilled, and trying to put them back on the tray.

“Don’t worry, kid. I got it.” Gabriel assured you.

Reluctantly, you got up and out of the way. Some students were still snickering, pointing at the pasta sauce that now covered your shirt. You’d been walking when all of a sudden a foot appeared out of nowhere, sending you hurtling to the ground.

“You got two left feet, freak?” Curtis, the head jock and Crawford’s reigning asshole, guffawed.

“I don’t see why that would be a problem. I mean, you’re on the football team.” You sassed.

Curtis clenched his fists with anger, but you ignored him. Gabriel tried to hide a smile at your perfect comeback.

You smiled at the janitor once he’d cleaned up. “Thank you.” You said, quietly.

The man smiled. “Hey, just doing my job.”

Back to being wallpaper, it was, to the both of you, not that you minded. While Gabriel used it as a disguise, you used it as protection. It meant fewer people to bother you, fewer people to use you as a punchline.

Curtis turned back to his friends, immediately forgetting you existed. “You hear about the professor?”

“I heard he tried to get tail and got murdered.” One of his friends retold.

The jock snorted. “No way. He just took a nosedive from his office.”

Ah, so the news was spreading. Gabriel felt a little pride that his work hadn’t gone unnoticed. But at the same time, this might attract unwanted attention.

“You think it’s the ghost of room 669?” A girl piped up.

“Ghosts? God, you’re starting to talk like the weirdo.” Curtis scoffed, looking in your direction. “Like seriously, I’d rather slow dance with an alien than read one of their dumb stories.”

Gabriel crossed his arms. This pledge master had a reputation for being a bully. You stood up to him, which Gabriel admired, but it didn’t look like Curtis would change. He’d just made his way onto the trickster’s list of targets.

Was it dangerous? Yes. Did it only make the pair of hunters that had recently arrived more suspicious? Yes. But was making Curtis think he’d been abducted by aliens, probed, and forced to slow dance worth it? Hell. Yes.

The rumour spread around campus like the plague in medieval England. People were talking about the pledge master who’d been rambling on about aliens like a madman.

It felt like poetic justice to you. You were glad to finally have some peace. Even more, it would make a great short story.

It was time to head home. Most had already left the campus. You liked this little bit of time. Just you and your thoughts.

“Hey, hold the door!”

Well, you, your thoughts, and the janitor. You stopped the door you exited out of before it could close and pulled it back open.

The janitor, hands full of boxes, walked through. “Thanks, sugar. Guess who put off moving supplies? Now an entire wing is out of toilet paper.”

You laughed. “Here, let me help you.”

His eyes peeked over the mountain of boxes and you could see his brow furrow. “You sure? It's pretty late.”

“It's fine, I live pretty close. I don't mind helping.” You replied.

“I'd offer you a hand, but…” The janitor said, causing you to laugh again. “My name's Gabriel.”

It had been over a thousand years since he said that. Over a thousand years since he had used his real name. He could have told you anything. Loki, Griffin, Sam, Richard, all past aliases. Yet somehow, he trusted you enough to say 'Gabriel'.

“Nice to meet you, Gabriel,” You said, taking a box from the top of the pile and carrying in your arms. “I'm Y/N.”

“Y/N, yeah! I've seen you around campus. Always with a notebook. You a creative writing major?”

“Yeah. I want to be an author in the future.” You confessed. “Don't think I ever will be, though.”

“What? No way!” Gabriel exclaimed. “I bet you're an awesome writer. Tell you what, we meet up for coffee tomorrow and you read me something from your notebook.”

“What? No! My stories are-”

“Erotic?” Gabriel asked with a smirk.

You tried not to laugh. “No! I was going to say horrible. Besides, what would I get out of it?”

“A free coffee and seeing me out of uniform?” Gabriel said, wiggling his brow.

“Okay, okay. I guess I need a beta reader anyway.” You complied.

“Awesome,” Gabe said, setting the boxes in his arms on the ground and taking one from you. “It's a date.”

You smiled and walked off, Gabriel was glad you finally started to talk to him. You may not have been popular, but you didn’t care. You fought back.

A cowardly archangel had to admire that.

You jogged into the small coffee shop, the aroma of ground beans hitting you right away. Your eyes scanned the room, searching for Gabriel.

The college janitor was sitting at a table in the corner, one hand holding a tabloid, the other stirring a whipped-cream covered hot chocolate monstrosity with a teaspoon.

“Sewer gators?” You asked, the faint hint of exhaustion in your voice.

“Crazy what people will believe, huh?” Gabriel replied with a grin. “Glad you can make it, Cupcake.”

You sat down, taking off your shoulder bag and placing it on the floor. “Sorry I’m late, I slept in.” You sighed.

“Not a problem. Want me to get you something? It’s on me.” Gabriel offered.

“Oh, I can’t-”

“Relax, sugar. It’s the least I can do.”

Finally, you complied, giving Gabriel your order. As he walked off to the counter, you couldn’t help but stare a little. He looked good in casual wear, especially from behind.

“So, how long have you been working at Crawford Hall?” You asked once Gabriel sat back down.

“Six years.” He replied. “Might quit soon.”

“Oh.” Your face fell. “Why?”

Gabriel couldn’t exactly say ‘because there are hunters on my trail and I’m not in the mood to get a stake through the chest.’

“Just have better things to do, I guess.” Was the excuse. Not a lie, just not the full truth.

“I can understand that.” You sympathised. “I’ll miss you.”

Gabriel grinned, tapping his fingers gently on the table top. “Aww, you care about me. I’ll miss you too.”

You smiled, hoping your cheeks weren’t as red as they felt. You took your laptop out and placed it on the table, turning it on. “You sure you want to read my stories?” You asked.

“More than anything,” Gabriel replied.

Suddenly being a janitor didn't seem like the worst thing in the world to Gabriel.

[pussyhoundspock]

wsorry if you aren’t looking for responses to this! i just saw this and wanted to toss in my two cents b/c while superficially i actually do agree that a lot of his actions and characteristics match or parallel with ‘classic’ anti heros (personally my immediate examples of the famous modern anti hero are like walter white, tony soprano, fleabag, don drapper, rebecca crazy ex tho i would no longer claim that show as prestige tv shkshkshk even jeff winger ig -- but also i understand that might not be the character archetype ur referring to!) i think the different narratives craft in universe character differences (regardless of ‘mean’ or ‘nice’). 

i almost think that the “modern day” tv anti heroes were almost a response to the hawkeye archetype (gritty grimdark hawkeye!) where the narrative punishes and focuses in the incidental cruelty and selfishness of the characters (and hawkeye himself was a response to the wholesome hero who follows orders and does/says the right thing and is brave and circumspect and can give a stirring speech and when u look too deeply at his principles does so much damage). 

however, i also think that metatextual difference in narratives does create different characters types. for example, the narrative is usually on hawk’s side which means that the ‘good’ characters in the show are usually on hawk’s side -- in universe, this means the MASH unit people like hawkeye a lot and really rely on him a lot to get through the war sane (and that hawkeye the character feels like people like appreciate and even need his jokes amidst the war). however, in the few times the universe does call out hawkeyes actions, his response to genuine regret and contrition -- he in universe feels bad when his incidental cruelty and selfishness are pointed out by the narrative through the other characters negative or hurt responses to him. this tells me that grimdark gritty!hawkeye would be less mean/selfish/etc if the narrative were more like the classic antihero narrative/punished him more -- he would change / adjust his behavior which isn’t something u see in the typical anti hero narrative now. 

i also think the context is important -- most of the classic anti heroes today are fighting their own ennui not the military industrial complex. in that sense i do think hawkeye actions are more justified even when they are the exact same as don drappers for example who is his closest analogue today that i could think of off the top of my head while on paragraph three of what im thinking will unfortunately be a much longer post than planned -- he’s fighting, taking revenge on, hurting those who are bad as opposed to those who are in his way. and i think that the narrative of mash at least tries to show us (in those ‘callout post for hawk’ eps) that he is choosing those people / those actions because he thinks they are bad and deserve it (and that’s where the anti hero thing comes in b/c what if we dont agree? if we dont agree that cops and the military are bad ... hawk is horrible and cruel and etc! but i actually think that mash is a little bit aware of this and tries to show how hawk’s hatred of the military is grounded in empathy (i mean don ALSO hates the military AND served in korea which i didn’t even think about until this post BUT it is hysterical that he simply channels that into Guilt and Also Selling Cigarettes instead of like pranks and wellsforboys sculptures)  which sort of brings me into my next (& main) thought)

my main thought is this: i think the biggest and most important difference between hawkeye and the antiheroes of todays cinematic universe/presiege tv world is that they are looking for enlightenment, personal happiness, etc. and they are committing their entire trickster mean hurtful bodies to that end whereas hawkeye is doing his whole (often deeply cruel, mean spirited or absolutely treason against the us government) shktick for genuine principles. i think they show this through his abiding commitment to pacifism, genuinely never once questioning if he should help someone, and desperation to end all the fighting. he’s self absorbed and self centered yes but in service of genuine principles grounded in empathy (which is key imo!) which both help us the audience like him but also i think work within the show as a purely character based analysis make him of a different model of antihero than the walter “i did it me” whites of the prestiege tv cinematic universe (in that sense his closer analogue would be omar little from the wire than don drapper from mad men in terms of a character who is not good conventionally but is principled and also gay). most broody white male antiheroes have no consistent principle other than a dedication to discovering their own happiness. not to undermine what ur saying when u are pointing out hawks genuine and real flaws and genuine issues ppl might have w him personally (like i definitely agree w/ that part!) i just wanted to sort of think through the way the different narrative cues created different character types not just different character perceptions 

at the end of day i think this was a very long message just to agree with ur original post shkshkshk sorry! 

I mean you guys are definitely right that MASH makes you think Hawkeye is much nicer and more righteous than asshole white dudes in modern day dramedies but I’m just telling you it’s 99% how the narrative treats him, how alan alda plays him and how people react to him in-universe. His actual words and actions are like almost identical to modern day anti-hero characters...

EPISODE 10

Final Words (idk if you guys do this): Welp, there I go. Second member of the jury, again... at least I'm consistent. I felt this coming on in all honesty, but I hoped it would've turned out differently. That's why I fought as hard as I did, and I wish it didn't get that ugly, but at the end of the day, I'm sure we're all still friends. Nothing but love and respect for this game and them. I really tried not to be the guy calling out the shots this time, but I sorta devolved back into that by the end. That's just who I am, I live hard and I die hard, and I'm starting to realize that's nothing to be ashamed of! ...It just doesn't make me a very good Survivor player.

I HAVE got to win this comp or I am toast... no way in hell im winning stab... I have been playing very hard this season, especially the last 2 rounds.. I orchestrated timmys boot and (thought) I did a good job at getting mark out.. but BLINDSIDED @ CHRIS STONER. I am now literally clawing my way from the bottom. I love it honestly. I love playing from the bottom. it brings out the absolute best in me in all aspects. it makes my bust my ass off to win comps, talk people's ears off and become friends, and hopefully cause some big fckn rifts in this game. im ready for it

Honestly I’m in a rough spot. I love drew and I love pat and I just want the 3 of us to work together but it’s just not compatible. I should probably try to like work something out or I’m gonna be the one to fall for it. Here’s to praying I don’t have to win out immunities to get to the end! 

God I hope Ricky gets okay. I really want Karen to somehow get stoner to play his idol on her and make a big move and vote out Madison or even Sammy or even mark or even Chelsea.....god can we get a big move in here???? I’ll keep working on it, but I gotta vote sometime and it still seems up in the air! Fuck I don’t see a real point in Karen going home...she’s not the best at challenges and she doesn’t give the best side game spirit if Ricky isn’t here (ALSO SHES FREE FROM ALLIANCES)! 

this round is a mess. I was highboy annoyed about the challenge bc we had to restart after I already took out Madison and Pat which restarting made it unfair to me bc I had already stabbed people who could of easily just gunned for me.  Drew ended up winning one challenge and Dan won the other. Shocker.  I am just annoyed and want to disassociate myself with all of my alliances.  Mark is a stubborn player and it is very hard working with him bc he does not understand most thing and I have to repeat it. Also if he wants someone out he makes sure he has to vote that person.  I have heard Madison, Chelsea, Mark, Stoner, and Tracey's name this round.  Personally I was on board for the whole split the vote on stoner and Tracey to get rid of the idol and take out someone who I am not as close to.  Very annoyed tho bc Drew just wants all the power and to not vote minority and he is also very hard to work with.  I love him but in this game he is just crazy. He wants Chelsea gone for the fact that he knows he can't work with her and that she is a social threat.  This is dumb to me bc I do not feel Chelsea is the biggest threat in this game but whatevvvvaaa.  Then I am having problems in my own alliance of Me, Mark, and Pippa.  Pippa does not want Tracey and Mark does.  Literally nobody can work together. Moral of the story: everyone is crazy.

this game is so fucking messy ive had it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so to catch yall up, the tribal was gonna be a double one and wheeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww bitch i was panicking and it was madness and people were lying and i couldnt figure out the split but i think somehow we almost wouldve had mark leaving??????????/ but i wouldve probably left too???????????? or ricky wouldve??????? idk so yeah it was hectic, i was proposing a billion different splits with the villains and yeah. but then ricky has an emergency :/ so he needs to get medevaced and i come to the realization that im gonna be the vote this time and a split will be next to impossible as most people (the heroes) didnt seem to be budging but like i dont talk to them so what do i know djfvdhfvnjdsfvbkj anyway i figured since i was being voted out anyway i might as well just stir the pot a bit which was fun and people were entertained, so yeah i go into ultra panic mode and me and drew and stoner are like what the fuck are we gonna do???????/ so i decide to start talking to some people - charlie and sammy -  and they both seemed like they wanted to keep me so sammy concocts a plan to split the vote between me and make sure stoner doesnt play the idol and so he tells dan about this plan and dan makes a chat with me drew and stoner saying that with this split we will be able to vote together to potentially get someone out, he wanted sammy but it could be pat or madison too and that would mean itd tie 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 but then i talk to charlie bc she wants to cause chaos too ig and i explain my situation and shes like aight ill vote with  yall so now were trying to figure out the vote and tribal starts in 4 minutes and idk whos getting elimed but its gonna be a fun night

whew okay SO I won immunity again and it's a double triballllll so like shit's going down, I can FINALLY get someone out, and then catastrophe strikes, Rickens my love my fellow winner who I have NOT seen eye to eye with but who at least understood the value of keeping me in, had to leave due to a family emergency and made the tribal back into a single. I'm trying so hard on so many different angles to make SOMETHING happen this round and I genuinely don't think I'm gonna manage it but honestly it was beautiful while it lasted. Rip Tracey McKaren or Stoner, it's been a time. Also I definitely do have that idol that could be saving you but that truly does belong to me, sorry bout it. I'm still fucked, we all know it, but I'll take an extra round. After all I earned it by having AT find one number for me and Dan finding another.

so i think the vote will be for madison, im ready for this blindside

This week being a double elimination week seemed actually simpler because of wanting to vote for ricky and tracey to get them both out. And then with ricky quitting it made things a little messier with there being only one so it changed how everything was gonna go. I feel good about the split of the idols with the threat of chris ebing there and the threat of tracey against the heroes. so i think even with ll the changes this week will be decent for us

This round is effing nuts. I decided to vote tracey because i wanted chris to flush the idol and tracey go home. I had heard that drew, Tracey, sammy, and chris mentioned my name in some way so I was really worried about my safety. Now im worried because chris didn't use his idol, but i honestly don't even know if he has one.

“How is she?” He asks once they step further down the hall.

“She slept better, didnt stir nothing” Dean says looking from his brother and to the steps as they go down the stairs and into the kitchen. Sam goes straight for the cupboard, pulls out the bag of grinded coffee to make a pot.

“What are your plans for today?” Sam asks from the fridge pulling out items for breakfast.

“I was thinking of checking out the hardware store for some supplies I will be needing for the shelves” Dean says as he takes the eggs and bacon from Sam.

“How about you?” Dean asks getting a bowl from the cupboard to scramble the eggs for you.

“Im going to stay behind with y/n and if she needs to go anywhere uh which vehicle you using anyways? The Impala or the pick up?” Sam asks looking to Dean while he pours the eggs into the pan thats on the stove.

“Im going to use the pick up, so you two can use the impala” Dean replies to Sam, right before Sam could say anything to Dean is when you come walking down the stairs and into the kitchen where your brothers are.

“Morning guys” You say while getting a cup from the cupboard to make yourself a cup of coffee as the alarm from the coffee maker goes off.

“Morning y/n. Feeling any better?” Sam asks getting out of the way for you to pour yourself a cup.

“Glad you asked and yeah I am feeling a lot better actually” You reply getting the cream from the fridge and taking a seat at the table.

“Thats good to hear, what are your plans today?” Sam asks following you to the table and seats himself across from you.

“Well I was hoping to go into town and get a few supplies to get myself busy” You answer back to him and looking to Dean who has a smile on his face.

“Well thats great to hear, I'll come with you plus I really want to explore the town anyway and see if they are hiring some where or something” Sam says after taking a sip from his coffee and thats when Dean serves the food to the both of you.

“Thanks De, yeah that sounds good wouldnt mind doing that to. Naomi said something about stopping by so that I could meet her son who is also Omega” You look to both of your brothers.

You and your brothers enjoy the breakfast Dean has made along with the delicious coffee Sam has made and he always made the better coffee not to strong and not to light just right in the middle. Dean always made the strong coffee but you didnt seem to mind since there were times when you needed his coffee to go along with the morning orders back in Sioux Falls that the customers has ordered.

Now moving here you hope that business will pick up and be as successful so that you could continue on saving and having a steady some what income for the time being since either of your brothers arent currently working but willing to live off of savings for now.

Dean is the one who leaves the house first to check out the hardware store in town, as he drives away in your late fathers pick up truck you turn to Sam who is still in the kitchen washing the dishes he has agreed to do after Dean cooked breakfast.

“Need help Sammy?” You ask before taking a clean dish cloth from the drawer.

“No, thats fine. I will just set them on the dish rack for them to dry and put them away later” He answers looking away from you to rinse out the suds from the plate and places it on the rack.

“Ok well Im going to shower and get ready so that we can head out to town as well” You say walking away from the kitchen and stop just before going up the stairs.

“Yeah sounds good and after your shower I will take one next” He says while continuing on with the dishes.

When Dean parks the truck into the parking lot, he turns off the engine to get out and head on inside the store. He walks in and starts to look for the aisle where the lumber is being kept, he sees Michael helping another customer and as soon as he turns to Dean's direction he walks towards him.

“Hi, its Dean right?” He asks stopping beside him.

“Yeah, Michael?” He takes out his hand for him to shake and with no hesitation Michael returns the gesture.

“What can I help you with today?” He asks looking away from him and at the lumber thats in front of them.

“Well I wanted to get a few supplies for some shelves I will be making for the house well for the living room anyways. My sister loves it when I make something for the house but doesnt like it when I sell em near the end” He says looking from the oak lumber to the cedar lumber.

“Well you know what you want and therefore I dont need to suggest anything”

Michael says with a smile spread across his face.

He helps Dean with the material he would be needing for the shelves he would be making along with other materials such as sand paper, screws, electric screwdriver, and the finishing coat in cherry oak to go along with the house. When Michael serves Dean himself at the cash register he gives him a pretty generous amount of the discount and he looks to him

“You didnt need to do that, I would have been fine paying for full price” He says while getting his debt card from his wallet.

“No please, its not a big deal. Maybe for next time I will charge you full price for the next purchase” He says smiling to Dean getting a slight chuckle from him.

“Dean before you go um how is your sister doing?” After Michael asks that is when he sees Anna enter into the store and this is not a really good time for her to be walking in while Dean is standing right in front of him.

Anna stands beside Michael and gives him a chaste peck to his lips, Dean looks to the scene in front of him and he couldnt believe it.

“Hi my name is Anna, his girlfriend and you are?” Anna asks pulling herself away from Michael slowly to properly introduce herself.

“Hi um Im Dean, just moved here” He says politely shaking her hand and pulls away to look at Michael again who is nervously adjusting himself away from Anna.

“Dean is the brother of the Omega I was telling you about, you know the one who got harassed by Dick” Michael tells Anna basically growling the whole time he tells her, she looks to him with a questioning look on her face at his sudden retort.

“Y/n, her name is y/n” Dean says to the both of them and doesnt like it when someone calls you by your biology because you are a human being to and deserve to be treated like one.

“Y/n wow thats a beautiful name” Anna says with a genuine smile.

“Thanks my mom named her uh sorry late mom” He says as his voice gets lower talking about your mother in the past tense.

“Sorry to hear that but she still has a beautiful name” She says taking her eyes off Dean and looking to Michael who hasnt said anything.

“Well I better get going, I have things to get started on. Its nice meeting you Anna and good to see you again Michael” Dean says while pushing the gurney out the door containing his items.

“I will help you with that, Anna I will be right back. You can go wait in my office while I help Dean with his stuff” Michael says walking out with Dean, not giving her time to say anything.

When they both reach the pick up truck and get the plywood into the extended cab.

“Girlfriend huh?” Dean says to break the silence.

“Yeah we have been together since college” He answers him honestly.

“Wow” Is all Dean can muster up.

“Look Dean after that night with the whole thing that happened to y/n I caught her scent and um” He trails away and doesnt know if he should go on and tell Dean about the whole mate thing thinking he is crazy for thinking that way.

“I know, she caught it to and she says the same thing but you have a girlfriend” Dean says looking away from him and placing more items into the extended cab.

“I know, I have always believed in true mates were brought together by scent but when I got older and nothing ever appealed to me is when I settled for Anna. I know that sounds horrible believe me I know but that night I caught her scent, felt her fear and I just wanted to throw Sam out of the way and hold her” Michael says as he places the last of the plywood into the back of the truck and takes the gurney from Dean's hands.

Dean stands there letting out a slight chuckle but he didnt know what to think about all of this and didnt know what to say after he tells him all of this.

“Look we never believed in true mates either but some how it was itched into our brains because our late parents were brought together by scent. My mom was an Omega and my dad was an Alpha they were high school sweet hearts for crying out loud. You need to figure something out before you even get close to my sister. Reason why I am saying this is because I dont want anyone getting hurt especially y/n if anything goes wrong” He says looking to Michael with a stern expression but when talking about your parents is when his expression is soft but instantly changes when going off topic.

“I am sorry about your parents if I havent said it yet. I understand where you are coming from, I am the same way with my brother Castiel he is also an Omega. I protect him and fight for him tooth and nail. I will figure something out but in the mean time I got to talk to Anna about this” Michael says as he stands there with Dean and thats when they say their good days and into separate directions.

“Y/n you ready yet, Im all dressed and ready. I thought you would be done by the time I got out of the shower” Sam yells from the bottom of the stairs.

You walk out of your room after taking one glance at yourself in the mirror and satisfied even with the sweat pants you decided to wear with a simple green long sleeve and go down the stairs to see Sam in the kitchen drinking the last of his coffee.

“You sure you want to head out today?” He asks walking towards you.

“Yeah, I need to start on the plushies and open shop” You answer walking to the door, placing your shoes on along with your jacket and you take the house keys that is placed in the bowl and walk out to lock the door.

Sam opens the driver side to enter into the car and you follow seconds later into the passenger side. He starts the engine, backs out of the garage and drives away from the house.

“So where are we going first?” Sam asks once we hit the road and going into town.

“Well we are going to a sewing shop called Stitching to Heaven” You answer your brother with a puzzled expression across your face, you look to Sam who also has the same expression.

“Ok, I think I remember seeing something like that on our way in yesterday” He says keeping both eyes on the road.

When the both of you got in front of the store is when Sam parked the car, turned off the engine and got out of the car to enter into the store. You went straight for the coloured yearn and selected the colours you didnt have, you went to the section where they had the polyester filling and grabbed a few bags and last but not least selected a few fabrics.

“Well that was rather quick, I thought we would be spending the whole entire afternoon here” Sam says as he pushes the cart to the register.

“Well we could since you want to stay here all day” You smile back to your brother.

“Wow, you have got the collection there. What are you making?” The lady at the register says, she is a brunette, intense hazel eyes and you scent Omega from her.

“I am making plushies, I didnt realize I was out of certain supplies so I looked online where I can get them and it pointed me here” You answer her and you look behind but no Sam.

“Sam?” you say looking around the store.

“Hhmm?” He says appearing from the sewing machine section.

“Plushies are adorable, Im Sarah by the way. Whenever you are done you should stop by again and show me your toys” She introduces herself.

“Im y/n and this is my brother Sam. That would be good and I have Naomi who wanted to do the same for me. I will once I have extras made” You introduce her to Sam who stands a distant away from the both of you and waves with a slight smile to his face while handing the stuff to Sam after she has bagged them.

“Hi Sam.” She says looking away from the register to make eye contact with Sam while telling you the amount that you owe and back at Sam.

“Really? I thought it would be more then that” You ask while pulling cash out of your wallet.

“Initially yeah but I gave you the business owners discount since you technically have one. My dad owns the store and has added the business owners discount, after a certain amount we add in whatever amount of a percentage off” She answers you and smiles the whole time she is explaining.

“That is amazing, hhmm wonder if Dean got the same over at the hardware store” You say out loud and having a chuckle from Sarah.

“Yeah I am pretty sure he did” She answers and the both of you share a chuckle together.

Before walking out of the store, you give Sarah your number to meet up to have coffee some where or simply invite her over to have a glimpse of the finished products. Sam stumbles out of the store almost tripping over the fabric you have selected.
