#it’s really loud

[marzipanandminutiae]

Sophia, the Boston woman from 1875 who haunts a lamp I got at Brimfield: what is a stay at home girlfriend, if you please?

me: well, it's a woman who's financially supported by the man she's dating, and she lives with him and usually keeps house and cooks for him

her: and they're not married?

me: well, no; hence "girlfriend" rather than "wife." I know that may alarm y-

her: oh calm down I know about Kept Women. he has no legal tie to her, though? she has no sort of standing with him in the eyes of the law? only his word that he'll follow through?

me: yes

her: and remind me again- you don't have to be financially dependent on a man anymore, right? there are more than like three careers open to women that will let you support yourself at a decent level now? and society isn't pressuring you 24/7 to get married and stop working outside the home?

me: yes

her: so these women. CHOOSE to be dependent on a man. who could leave them at any moment without legal consequence. because they don't like their jobs. the jobs, while imperfect, that let them live on their own, answerable to no-one

me: yes

her: that had better be some absolutely amazing jewelry they can pawn off if he leaves them, then

me: it's usually not

her: THERE'S NOT EVEN SECURITY JEWELRY?!

me: oh by the way they blame feminism for "having to work"

her:

her: I became fully dependent on my in-laws who hated me, after my husband died two years into our marriage, because I was a 23-year-old orphan with no marketable skills in any avenue besides Running A Household and the only men left unmarried in my social circle were widowers thirty years my senior. I also couldn't establish lines of credit as a widow because the merchants said my husband dying so soon meant that I didn't have stable enough income. and that was entirely legal

me: yeah

her: I'm going to go slam some doors please do not bother me

So uh. Haha. I stumbled upon this video about sea lions and immediately went "Oh this is Roddy!"

Because with their hyperactive jumpy wiggly loud behavior? And with their ability to fuck around on land? That's him

Not sure if this design gives uncanny valley or if I'm just overthinking it though. Maybe I should work on it some more but I thought I'd share the idea:)

I still don't understand why some people think that Dan and Phil dislike large swathes of the phandom. They know we're crazy! It's one of the reasons they love us so much! We submitted them to an RPF tournament 114 times and printed out a screenshot of the final poll and sent it in as a fucking preshow question and they reblogged the poll to help us win. They printed us sweatshirts saying legalize catboys and we wore them in public and then, on twitter, we found the normal people who posted about seeing us. We raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity and in return they gave each other eyebrow slits live on camera because they know we love to see them embrace edgier looks and touch each other. We told them that they raised us and instead of saying "no we didn't who are you" they apologized for being bad parents and sold us a hat that said "Dan and Phil are my dads." They turned Dan into a golden pig; no one even asked for that! In any way! They just did that! For the memes and the Dragon City sponsorship money! Someone made a post nine years ago about Dan and Phil kissing onstage at a combined MCR/FOB/panic concert and we kept passing that post around and referencing it for nine years, and when they realized MCR and FOB were performing together for the first time in more than a decade, they decided to reenact the post and put it on instagram, tumblr, twitter, and tiktok. We said their Sims 4 outfits were ugly, they made an entire apology video. We shipped them together, they said surprise! Our show is the matchmaking event of the century. They named their show tit. THEY NAMED THEIR SHOW TIT. We're crazy. They're crazy. Together, we've created one of the most unhinged fanbases on the internet. We matched each other's phreak and I think there's something pheautiful about that.

sometimes I think about the small stuff, the unassuming and quietly done stuff, especially from Eddie's side. the way Eddie holds the door open till Buck can leave when they were coming out of the locker room in s6. the foot holding down the punching setup through their conversation at the gym. looking up cases of people developing powers after lightning strikes. keeping Abby's presence a secret until Buck was risking his life. noting Buck's silence when he was discussing Chris and secrets. coming over to help him move Maddie's stuff twice in s2. keeping an eye out for Buck when they rappel down a cliff, keeping an eye out when they climb down a leaning building hit by an earthquake, knowing where Buck is in the middle of a fire every time. hosting his first dinner for Buck. coming to the bar after a rough day because Buck texted. telling Buck's parents stories about him till he came, making them realize that people love him. one agua coming right up. come here, come here. appreciate you, Buck. are you hurt. hey, Buck. it's always there in the name. it's the same in Christopher's tone. hey, Buck.
