WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE

IT'S FUCKING PERSUASION

Persuasion is about choice and how the rigidity of class structure can hold people back from what will actually make them happy. It is specifically about the intersection of class structure and family pressures. Anne Elliot's arc is all about seeing past her family and friends' persuasions and incorrect judgements towards Wentworth, and learning to stand up for herself and her desires.

Wentworth is quite wealthy by the end, and therefore ultimately earns approval from Anne's family and friends, but Anne would've married him poor. Anne never stops loving him for a single moment of the eight years they spend apart. But she believes she has ruined everything by breaking off their engagement. She doesn't think he loves her anymore.

Aziraphale has been persuaded to leave Crowley, despite them clearly being in love with each other, because that's not suitable to Heaven. Heaven sees Crowley (and the other demons) as beneath them, just as Anne Elliot's circle believes Wentworth to be unworthy of her affections. Season 3 (if we get it) will be Aziraphale and Crowley's 7 years later. It will be Aziraphale seeing the error of his ways, and realizing he has been lead astray by Heaven. But it will also be Aziraphale being unsure if Crowley would take him back. In other words? The pining is going to be horrific.

And ultimately, it will be Wentworth's letter: "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever."

idfk smth possessed me to write abt logan and shirley temples

Whenever Logan was upset, there was a specific drink his grandmother always made him.

He stood in his kitchen, grabbing two glass cups from his cabinet. He always asked her to get the pretty ones, mason jars with a handle that were perfectly shaped for a summer drink. They hit the counter with a gentle tap, sunlight from a nearby window shining through their transparent material.

While it was such a simple drink, it always made him feel better. Only two ingredients, yet it was enough to make his worries wash away, even if temporarily. The sound of a soda can opening was the only thing that complimented Logan’s gentle humming, as he twisted and turned the tabs of each can until they popped off. He had always noticed Ashlyn would remove the tabs of every soda can she got, so he pocketed them, figuring she was a collector of sorts.

After the soda came what pulled it all together. Maraschino cherry jars were always fickle, so Logan found himself wrapping the cool glass in a paper towel before daring to pour it into the soda. It always dribbled down the sides of the jar, making a big sticky mess. He would never forget to pull four cherries out from the jar, adding two to each jar before putting the glass back in the fridge. If you didn’t have sweet cherries to enjoy after your drink, what was the point?

And now, two straws and silly paper umbrellas later, Logan was heading back to his room. He shouldered the door open, finding the bundle of blankets on his bed in the exact place he left it.

A bundle of blond hair was the only thing he could see, complimented with soft black streaks of roots. Logan made a mental note to offer assistance in retouching it at some point, but right now other matters were of concern.

An eye finally peeked at him as he reentered the room. Aiden looked, to say the least, miserable. Eye bags, tear tracks and puffy eyes, Aiden was the whole package. It made Logan bittersweet to see him in such a state. On one end, he was happy that the other trusted him so much to be this vulnerable around him. On the other, he would give anything so Aiden never had to feel upset like this again.

The bed dipped as Logan sat down beside Aiden. Tentatively, he held out one of the drinks. He received a confused stare for this.

“Try it, trust me.”

Aiden did. Logan waited patiently, but eventually half of the blond’s drink was empty, much to his surprise. He couldn’t help but laugh to himself at that.

“Whats so funny?”

“Nothing, nothing. Is it good?”

After a couple of moments, Logan finally reached his goal. Aiden smiled at him, shifting to his side and ever so gently leaning his head against Logan’s shoulder. Logan, in response, leaned his head against Aiden’s. “Yeah, it is. Thank you.”

Set aside some time, as I have an important inquiry for you.

Say one were to encounter a slimy, grotesque, nauseating monster leaping aboard the ship and attacking them point blank...

How would one then handle said monster flopping aimlessly on deck? Note that the ideal solution would be not to touch it.

Today I watched past lives (2023) and the quote

[thedndgoblinwholivesinyourwalls]

Hey ok so. GLENN. I know that this was him being silly and everything but the fact Nicky positioned himself so that Taylor’s first view of Glenn isn’t that. For some reason that hit me. Along with Nicky having to explain over and over Taylor’s name and everything. Along with him just being like ‘ok dad…uh’ just that

I seriously cried here; this hit a little too close to home. Idk if it was intentional on the writers' parts, but this is such a good allegory for queerness, neurodivergence, and/or disability. Even the possibility of someone rejecting you can be so scary. Especially now that I live in a semi-rural area in the South, the fact is that I don't know how people will react if I tell them my pronouns, so I just keep it to myself and deal with being called "ma'am" and "young lady". It's such a relief when I find people who accept me, and it's a huge confidence-builder. The way Ruby explained it so concisely just. got to me.
