re: that *chef kiss* PERFECT Franken-Drummer post and tumblr not being all over The Expanse, I know right?? it’s such an amazing show with so many delightful, complicated characters yet it’s so unfairly slept on! maybe because S1 takes awhile to get going and ppl give up? idk but it makes me sad that I have so few ppl to squeal about Drummer and Amos and Bobbie and Christjen and Ashford and Naomi (ad infinitum) with 😭🚀😭

WHY ARE PEOPLE NOT OBSESSED WITH THE EXPANSE HELLO!?!?! there's literally so much to love about it oh my god. you're right, it DOES take a second to get going but once it does!!!

for those of you who have not read or seen The Expanse series (I myself have yet to read the books), let me tell you why you'll love it:

political space drama with incredibly distinct cultures and phenomenal world building, if you're a details girlie (gn), you're gonna go nuts

the found family vibes!!??! are off!?!? the charts!?!? (minor spoilers for the first few episodes) four people are thrown into a situation in which they accidentally become the most important people/fugitives in the whole galaxy and most of them DO NOT trust each other, what could possible go wrong, and even better, what could possibly go RIGHT

Christjen Avasarala. you are not ready for her. most powerful mover-shaker on earth with the most incredible outfits you've ever seen, refined elegance with the filthiest mouth, plus she's got a classic "whatever those two have going on is so gay it veers into something else entirely" with her younger protective knight lady, Bobbie

Bobbie. the "not to be a lesbian but oh my god" post is made for her. we meet her in the show for the first time when she arm wrestles a robot and WINS. you will be begging for her to step on you with her mech suit

speaking of women I want to step on me Camina Drummer. angry revolutionary pirate queen of my heart. do you miss the unique agony of 2000/10s queerbaiting but want it to be not baiting somehow? this show does that, idk how else to explain it. the most agonizing sapphic pining you've ever seen but it's textual and also not painful because its gay. don't worry, Camina fucks, just not the girl she wants most (also spoilers, but this is not a bury your gays show don't worry)

Jim Holden is literally just Some Guy who becomes the special fantasy chosen one because he simply cannot stop Getting Involved. nosiest bitch in the universe, I love him.

imagine you're a girl who leaves your shitty ex and gets a normal industrial job on a spaceship, only to have a six foot, two hundred pound killer dressed as a mechanic imprint on you like a baby duck, and its unclear whether he wants to fuck you or call you a little sister but he definitely WILL kill for you and will do literally anything you say and then you both end up caught up in a weird galactic war by mistake and there's this other guy with a captain america level moral compass and he's cute and you're into him except your shitty ex is still out there with the biggest secret you have and meanwhile your best female friend is the coolest person you've ever met but you don't think you can be what she needs and you're holding your family together, you're holding the universe together and all you want is justice for your people but unfortunately you've gone and fallen in love with the accidental most important man in the galaxy. well, every day Naomi Nagata wakes up

Praxideke Meng. botanist of my heart. literally tames the rabid guard dog that no one else could. gentle and able to stay gentle because of said dog. which brings me to...

Amos Burton. I saved him for last because he is my guy. he is THAT guy. canonically aromantic pansexual king. are you into guard dog characters? do you find yourself drawn to the "sorry my love language is acts of service and all I'm good at is killing people" characters? amos burton is like seventeen tumblr posts come to life. previously mentioned enormous killer dressed as a mechanic, former heels wearing "I didn't always work in space" sex worker who is always rolling into brothels and being like "you guys unionized?", gives a shit about basically no one in the universe except his crew and every single child in the galaxy, accidental comedian because he cannot stop saying weird shit, not a nice or good person but a loyal one, and one who is always trying to relearn the empathy that was carved out of him as a young person. every time he goes homicidal to protect one of his chosen people (crew + any and every child), an angel gets its wings.

fin.

#the expanse #most of this is cribbed from the essay I was texting a friend the other day lol #which is what inspired my expanse posting in the first place #bc I was like 'I HAVE to stop bothering this friend' lol #btw the canonically aromantic pansexual thing teeeechnically comes from the writers' twitter?#but like #you simply have to watch the show to know that about amos #he mostly doesn't sleep with people in the show and yes the few he does are women but the dude is queer #but anyway the authors have explicitly said he's aromantic and that his sexuality is 'yes'#lauren answers things

john laurens vibes!

are you normal or did you read a poem about how it's better for an athlete to die young with glory and immediately go "omg this is so john laurens' legacy and him never having the chance to be corrupted by politics or any future mistakes/failures!"

The time you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place; Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. Today the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay, And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears. Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. Excerpt from "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A.E. Houseman

#sometimes i try to imagine how history would write about famous figures if they died young #like if ham died at yorktown you know?#“who knows what he could've done if he lived” etc. etc. ?#alexander hamilton #historical hamilton #john laurens #historical john laurens #amrev fandom #amrev

its my 28th birthday tomorrow so i want to say while i still can

- i am 27 years old

- i have no money and no prospects

- i'm already a burden to my parents

- i am frightened

#pride and prejudice #i have been in my girlflop girlfailure era for ten sad pathetic years #i have however made wonderful friends and wouldnt change it for the world #and learned so much about myself and i have gained back so much of the confidence i've lost #im genuinely hopeful about the future despite being a mentally ill lump for my entire adulthood so far #and like im gonna be real #a lot of what got me through it was the friends i made here on tumblr #i love you all #thank you for being my internet greek chorus for the past decade #my tumblr friends saved me and for my 28th birthday i want to acknowledge that #and yknow. shitpost #to missy marjorie lauren chloe mary elise val mina ted xander aimee alyssa and all my other mutuals over the years #you are awesome and i hope i can share with yall any amount of the joy im gonna feel tomorrow on my birthday #i may be in my flop era but life is still worth living

I love peoples hcs for the weather being a Town Voice Power tm because yeah it's canon that the weather plays when Cecil says it but technically doesn't necessarily mean that every time we hear the weather that's what happens- though that's of course what is supposed to be assumed i think, so naturally people also assume that it's the same with Kevin even though there's not that same canon confirmation for it with him right. but he's a parallel to Cecil and the voice of his town so naturally he has those same Town Voice Powers. now if it's the word from The Voice that triggers the weather playing, what's peoples reasons for why Lauren can do it

#im almost certain there's also other people who have announced the weather but shes well one the one i care about the most #and two the person whos done it The Most aside from Cecil and Kevin #and she's also the only character who isnt a broadcaster of her own to have done multiple broadcasts. yes its always with Kevin but shes #still not just a guest on those shes actively a co-host #what im getting at here is um Lauren's relationship with radio is fascinating when you think about it but i have seen literally anyone talk #about it. girl where are the hcs that she's like a low-level Voice #microdosing on being her town's special little princess #that yknow how the town and its Voice(s) are interlinked + how bitter and upset she was about being shunned by db and what happend to her bc #of it. then the linking of the towns voice to the town to its god #so much you can do with that!#joyousposting

thinking about hamilton and burr together but not in a kissing way but in a you are so different on surface but are made of the same core way. they have the same sort of wants and hurt but they project it in such different ways.

#two people put together like that would either love each other with their entire hearts or would kill each other.#maybe both #alex and henry from rwrb are kind of examples from this.#look cmq made alex too similar to hamilton and henry too similar to burr for me to not connect the dots.#but while their character traits put them lethally against each other in the play in the book its.. different.#i can talk about alex more since both in the book and play we see alexander more (both such fucking main characters)#i think alex from rwrb had a comparatively better foundation in childhood than hamilton. he's less scrappy than hamilton #he still does things like be lonely and drown himself in his work etc etc you all saw the parallels #but but but he sort of has room for love in his heart in a way hamilton doesnt. maybe he did with laurens because its said that he #never really opened up the same after he died. makes me think that was pretty serious. but its not in the play so im not going too much #into it. alex isn't as suspicious and survivalistic as hamilton. if hamilton saw henry he would've never put him before his work #but alex does. from his side i think that's what makes the difference.#like how he says to henry in the fight scene that they're not really very different people?? remember that #there's waaay too many coincidences i am ready to believe cmq wrote rwrb as a very very sneaky adaptation of hamiltons life #the slightest hint from them and i would believe it. this is a conspiracy theory i can get behind #rwrb #red white and royal blue #hamilton #hmm i been having thoughts about this for the past 2 hours #maybe this stem thing was a mistake maybe i should've taken literature. i like what i do though

I really really really really really fucking wish that I didn't hang on to petty bull shit that my parents say despite being nearly 30 years old

#and it's usually shit they mean nothing by #but those little digs and remarks are still fuxkibg irksome af #my struggles with eating are not known to very many people because i rarely talk about it outside of my very tight circle of like 4 people #and no one thinks the fat girl struggles with thqt #even if they don't say it out loud i can tell when certain people don't see it as a problem since I'm losing weight #or just don't believe me #anyway i bought a 2 piece from kfc yesterday and got 2 extra sides bc i was very hungry and high af #my dad just HAD to be like dAmN lAuRen #and i know he meant how much i spent on everything #which also not his business but i digress #it's hard to make myself spend money on food sometimes because I'm painfully aware of how fucking poor i am #fast food like 1-2 times a week special groceries and my thc vape are usually the only luxuries i get outside like streaming #sometimes i don't have the executive function to make food or i have sleep for dinner bc that or poverty #so comments like that do piss me off #and whether i agree or disagree isn't the point #you don't get to pick what does and doesn’t stick #I'm just over everything idk #personal

Wolf Tobin's bi trans swag

#hey guess what other lauren bouchard show i started watching #the great north #i Do think i like central park more but this one is also very fun and nice :]#anyway wolf mentions taking ibuprofen and also his baby blanket was pink #i think he told his dad and asked him to come up w a new name and beef just no hesitation went 'wolf' and wolf was like 'perfect!!'#he is I Think canonically bi though #he openly talks about men he finds attractive. w his wife #whom he met on a famous movie quotes website about shrek. they are everything actually #and his brother ham is canonically gay! and dating :]#it’s not a plot driven show so there’s not much of a synopsis i can sell you on .#they live in alaska. they are four siblings and their single dad. they catch fish. it’s all very fun #words from the monarch

Rescue

You are not hidden

Roland was biting his lip so hard curt was surprised he hadn't drawn blood. His best friend had withdrawn himself from the party, naturally, choosing a small corner to brood in over the loud music and even louder people. People curt was with. He wasn't necessarily a loud person, they were both introverted, but Roland a great deal more than Curt. No one noticed the musician. No one noted that the other half of Tears for Fears had disappeared for the night. Forgotten in a dark corner. Roland didn't let it show, but Curt knew it bothered him. Knew it irked roland that people didn't notice him. That he was forgotten. Curt had felt it the second Roland's presence had left his side. His eyes had searched the room seconds later. And he had found him. “Sorry.” Curt excused himself from the group of people he was chatting with and wound his way through the mass of people, grabbing two beers on his way. “I bet if you bite harder you'll become one with the wall.” he said in greeting, forcing one of the bottles into his best friends hands. Roland blinked a few times, then a wry grin overtook his face. Mercifully, his teeth disappeared back into his mouth and he stopped abusing his lip. “You okay?” Curt asked quietly, leaning further into the darkness of the corner, pressing closer to Roland. Roland smiled at him faintly. “Yeah.” he nodded a few times to prove his point. “Im good.” he nodded a head in the direction of the party goers. “No one else is coming right?” he tried to force a smile. “Don't want to be discovered.” Curt laughed along. “Nope.” his smile softened. “Only me.” Roland met his eyes and he smiled, eyes crinkling with warmth. “You should get back to socializing.” Roland said, waving a hand in the direction of the ongoing party. “It can wait.” Curt said dismissively. Roland smiled, fond and amused. “Go, curry. Ill be fine.” He held up his drink. “Go. Enjoy yourself.” Curt hesitated. Roland bumped his shoulder. “You mother hen.” He grinned, taking a swig of Curts beer instead of his own. “Hey!” Curt squawked in protest. Roland laughed. “Go.” his friend insisted again. “You’re the face of this whole thing.” he waved a hand to encompass their fame. “Go sell the band.” Curt chuckled. “Alright. Fine. But give a shout if you need something alright. Anything.” he stressed. “Even just a drink. I might need you to save me from the crowd in a bit anyway.” Roland chuckled. “Yeah yeah. Go.” He nudged curt in the direction of the party again. Curt bit his lip then relented, taking a step out of the dark corner and into the blinding lights. But before he walked further he turned back. “Oh, and Roland?” Roland raised an eyebrow. “Hm?” “you are not hidden.” He said quietly. Roland's smile was small. Knowing. “Everyone I need can see me.” He answered back, just as quietly. “As long as Im remembered by them.” Curt smiled. “Always.” he promised. Then let the party pull him back into its thrall, though part of him stayed in that quiet, calm corner. Remembering.

genuinely think it's good and healthy to follow at least one person in each of your fandoms who reblogs good gifsets but has just...absolutely dogshit takes on the show, or who ships that ship you despise. keeps things fresh. keeps things grounded. you gotta stay humble

#lauren feels things #fandom #this is mostly a joke post #obviously create the experience on tumblr that yOU want #you are not obligated to do any fucking thing on this website #but like....there are a few people I've been following on my other blog #(my real and anonymous one where I do most of my reblogging/fandom stuff)#and I've been following them for YEARS #or they're mutuals from the fandoms I've written fic for #and they just post the most out of pocket shit #or they ship ships that totally squick me out #or - the most annoying sin of all to me -#they post sanctimonious explanations about how the creators/actors/whatever #really feel THIS way about this particular thing #and all you other fans are wrong #(and like......no they don't. unless that actor or writer has said that #you have no idea they think that. also it doesn't matter what they think.)#but I'm honestly not kidding when I say this makes my personal fandom experience better #bc a) some of these people are just pals I disagree with!#and b) none of them are - like - toxic or anything #there's a certain kind of fandom discourse I do not tolerate #these people are mostly just kind of silly sometimes about stuff #and ultimately harmless #but it helps me understand a fandom better #and the fact that I've been doing it for like a decade now #means that i truly never get offended or hurt or feel any kind of way #when I see a bonkers take on something #bc I'm just like 'oh sure you're wrong but whatever good for you seems like you're having fun'#and sometimes ppl in fandoms take things SO PERSONALLY!#and it's okay that some people who make art you like or amazing gifsets feel differently about the thing you both love

y’know, having been reminded about it, it’s fuckin surreal to be a kid and have one of the i survived books (fictional books about kids living through very real disasters) being written about a disaster you personally experienced (well at least the suburban fringe effects) and that destroyed a huge part of your hometown and killed a lot of people in said hometown

#not making this up btw #when i found out about the book i was like ‘…what’#i survived #lauren tarshis #to be clear i did not live in that town at the time but i DID live fifteen minutes away and i did go to SCHOOL in said hometown #and also if you ask if i have READ said book: the answer is no

once again wanna make gifs for a nonexistent fandom

#doing a rewatch of what i like about you and i'm. tempted #i'd put those on jaikelso tho #lauren's so damn funny i'm obsessed with her #also. holly really is. something. like i get she was 18 and being selfish is just A Symptom of Being Eighteen but GURL #like when Vince's grandfather died and her literal words were 'i have to prove to him i can be a good friend' like she really #made that about her. like girlie c'mON #(this isn't hate btw!! i love her!! she's just. truly something)

You're writing an original story right? Can you tell us anything about it??

I am!! Thank you for asking I love when people are interested 🥹 I don’t know how much to say because it evolved from a vague notion of writing a richpez the good place AU and now I’m… questioning how well it works on multiple levels! 😂 So it could change a lot. But it’s about love and loss and falling in love and re-falling in love

#and like i said i will be trying to make it so anyone who doesn’t know wouldn’t know the characters are based 100% off joey and lauren but 🥺#it has to be the deepest truest love so it has to be them #and if you really do want to hear more i could give a synopsis of what it currently looks like i just feel very vulnerable about this stuff😂
