March of the Tropes

Day 23: Exes

"You look well." "I look like shit."

Paglth'an is the first time she sees Aymeric since she rejected his proposal the night before the Ghimlyt Dark. Her time on the First turned her into someone harder, almost unrecognizable, but one look told her all she needed to know: her feelings hadn't diminished in the slightest.

[inkskinned]

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

GAMBIT & ROGUE | X-Men ‘97 1.04 “Motendo / Lifedeath – Part 1”

Good morninggg my pretties! 💕😙 Had a cute little cozy dream that Shoko your formal college best friend (she, obviously — majored in medicine while you majored in art), introduces to you to her other two best idiots she grew up with. And immediately, the boys inevitably, falls head over heels for you. You were perfect; you had brains, looks and a gracious sense of morality (which Suguru found so, so attractive about you even more…your luring, big doe eyes being his strong second…Satoru found contentment in your smile and how you carried yourself, your looks were a bonus to him).

So, they have a little “turf war” with you. Trying to see who could make you fall for them more.

Suguru takes you on cute, casually romantic art museums, cozy picnics and laying out under the stars dates, all while Satoru takes you out to fancy restaurants, late night walks on the beach and movie dates. They were sooo sickeningly in love with you, and by the end of the two months of getting to know them, spending so much time with each of them…you couldn’t help but indubitably fall for both of them, just as hard.

And that, was the dilemma you currently found yourself in.

Until they come to a mutual agreement to date them both. Becoming each others safe havens and endearing muses. 💗

A little rant abt Zaundads S2

Below bc there's spoilers

The whole "I just lost my head when she died" begin the reason as to why Vander wanted to drown Silco bothers me to no end, because Im sorry but drowning someone its NOT a 'heat of the moment' thing, Silco was fighting for his life, he stabbed him on the side and arm but even then, after checking his arm's injury, Vander still looked around for him, he was SET TO KILL Silco, he had made up his mind to kill him.

On season 1, it was clear that Vander and Silco initial conflict came down to a very much ethical ideological disagreement that spiraled out into Vander trying to kill Silco, because even Silco says hit wasn't fully about the drowning but mostly about Vander aligning with the enforcers, he gave up, it means that his attempt at Silco life meant nothing at the end.

I always theorized that the disagreement came as to how they we're getting the nation of Zaun with Vander begin more aggressive while Silco went about things in a more cunning way bc both represent the sides of a revolution, Vander IS the people while Silco IS the ideas and both also get "corrupted" in their own way with Vander caging his rage away because it might hurt his children, which although noble, it also hurts him and his own!!! Lets be honest what else are the kids to do apart from "jobs"? They don't have education, they have to live in a bar and while he's really really trying, he could absolutely do more to get them a better life but at the same time he can't because if something happens to him, that's it, the kids are now completely alone.

Then we have Silco from revolutionary man to cut-throat capitalist/industrialist, he uses the same people he claims to help in order to do his schemes, he doesn't mind kids are working on Shimmer production, he understands that in-order to gain independence Zaun as to let itself be equal power with Piltover, which he doesnt care who he hurts, he's going to get that state, but is he really a revolutionary anymore? He has to pull what would be the "ruling" class of Zaun in check to go with his schemes, he even reminds Finn of their "beginnings", showing that some of the chembarons inherited the business AND didn't even lived in the same precarious situations as Silco once did, he's going to make a piltover 2.0 but with different people and place, after all, how can we call a revolution a "success" if you just go and use the exact same system that made people rise up on at the start?

Both, Silco and Vander are very tragic characters on their own right and I love how deeply ingrained they are on both Jinx and Vi's story, but making them besties with their mother felt a bit unnecessary but I didn't particularly minded much, I actually liked it, like a little "destiny thing going on for them" but then they made Vander's entire reason to try to kill Silco. (Without mentioning how they absolutely didn't had this one prepared, seeing how Vander on the river is WAY younger while Vander on the bridge its WAYYY older.)

ok but knowing q!bbh, he's SO going to fix up forever's office at the megabase, he's a freak like that, he does this to himself. he's gonna offer to help richas with the moon house. richas will say no of course, richas doesn't want to work on it if his pai isn't there, but q!bbh would offer. because he has some kind of natural impulse or rather repulse to a mess left behind for a (presumed until proven otherwise, and/or hyperbolic considering the circumstances,) corpse. the reaper does all he can to put the ducks in row of those that leave something unfinished behind.
