#please i am begging you all watch sense8

[be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie]

We talked about Norm and Trudy and Norm and Tsu'tey, but we didn't talk about Trudy and Tsu'tey, or those three together.

Cause Trudy have this personality that I CAN FEEL it attracts Tsu'tey, kinda reminding him Sly, but Norm have this other personality.

If Trudy had every brave trait that Sly could have there is Norm that have any other trait about her.

And there is Tsu'tey that is like conflicted about this: "she is so...but also he is...aaa im conflicted about two sky persons!...but those two"

And there is like Trudy and Norm that are: this is funny, he is ours now.

Oh my god, I do love fixing a love triangle with polyamory. It's my favorite thing except when it's in Sense8 and it ruined my life, @ Lana Wachowski we will be having words.

The thing about it is they all have these connections that one of the others can't ever really understand.

One of the things I adore about Norm and Tsu'tey as a concept is neither of them is each other's first love. They both had their epic love story, their perfect person. They had their fairytale. And now they are both a little older, a little more jaded, and a little more broken and aimless. They also were both in a heterosexual relationship before. It's so far from a replacement of what they lost, it's learning to be a new person in the wake of the old and finding the perfect person for the new ones they've become.

Letting Trudy live does take that dynamic away, which I will miss a ton. I think Tsu'tey needs it. However, it brings a lot more into the fold. Both Trudy and Tsu'tey are warriors; fighters, leaders, and providers. Norm does not relate to this part of him, he is set apart. Both Trudy and Norm are humans, there are things from their past and from their worlds that Tsu'tey can never understand. Trudy doesn't have an avatar, and she can't ever experience Pandora the way Norm and Tsu'tey can. I'm sure there are more. In these little ways, having all of them fills in those gaps.

more aos!trek sense8 au

hi! I’ve decided to commit to the crazy and continue writing this au.  i have no fucking clue what I’m doing, but I am a sucker for outsider POV, so uh.  have some outsider POV.

                                                           —

Little Nyota has a voracious appetite for languages and alien cultures and the stars; smart as a whip, too.  None of them laugh when her five-year old brow furrows and she declares she’s going to learn all of the languages, because—

Well.  If Lela would believe it of anyone, it would be her niece.

But this is...unexpected.

After that Starfleet recruiter turned up at their class, she begs and begs and begs, twirling around the yard to find one old-enough relative to take her on a tour of the outpost in their city.

Lela knows what it feels like to be so excited about the future you can’t breathe, so she smiles and agrees.

The tour guide for the Starfleet outpost is Vulcan, of all things; a rarity, though more common here than other parts of the world.  The dry heat of their city is apparently similar to that of Vulcan. 

And when the Lieutenant greets their group, Nyota straightens her spine and offers the ta’al right back, with a carefully articulated Vulcan phrase.  A greeting.

Lela stares at her niece in shock.  No Uhura had taught her that, and it wasn’t offered in school yet.  How...

The Lieutenant raises an eyebrow, more expression than Lela’s ever seen on a Vulcan, and says something else to Nyota, who nearly vibrates with excitement before screwing up her face and replying again.  She didn’t just pick up stock phrases, she’s actually speaking Vulcan.

They head out for the tour soon after; Nyota whispering to one of her invisible friends the entire time.

No one seems to know how Nyota learned to speak Vulcan, when Lela asks, and eventually they write it off as part and parcel of raising a linguistic genius.

Alexei watches on, curious, as his nephew goes through what looks like basic fencing sets: lunge, parry, riposte, repeat.

Every so often he will adjust his stance, as though he’s being corrected.

Another one of his mind-friends, no doubt.  After everything he’s seen in his life, Alexei saw no reason to doubt Pavel’s claim that he shared a telepathic bond with six other people.

It didn’t hurt that verifying their existence was relatively easy, once Alexei had their names.

“Watch your footwork on your retreat, Pashenka,” he calls firmly, observing how Pavel reacts to the interruption and the criticism.  Smiles, when his nephew corrects himself again and throws him a grin without pausing.

These mind-friends of his are good for Pavel.

Amanda retreats to the balcony in the early morning, as she always does.  The cool night air hasn’t entirely dissipated yet, allowing her to enjoy the fresh air until the heat of the Vulcan day chases her back inside. 

Today, Spock follows her.  He’s spent less and less time sitting with her as his schooling progresses.  It hurts her heart, a little, to watch him draw away, and she suspects the attitudes of his classmates may have something to do with it, but she also knows her son’s devotion to be just like his father would have pulled him in that direction anyway.

So she gives him as big a smile as he can be comfortable with when he settles across the table from her. 

“Mother, I have a query,” he says solemnly.  Her mouth twitches at the expression on his face, just a little, but she knows better than to laugh at her serious boy.

“Go ahead, Spock.”

“Do humans ever exhibit signs of telepathy or empathetic abilities?”

She blinks.  “Certainly.  Humans of non-human descent often take on such abilities.”

He frowns, just a little, and she sees she must have misunderstood him.  “But do humans ever spontaneously develop telepathic bonds with one another as children?”

Something in her stills.  She recalls her studies of the Eugenics Wars on Earth and takes a deep breath.  “Not in recent memory, but there are unconfirmed reports of such bonds developing before the Eugenics Wars.  It’s believed if the ability ever did exist naturally in humanity, it died out then.”  Amanda hesitates, then says, “There are some family records of that period to indicate that my ancestors may have possessed something like this ability.”

Spock’s face clears, and Amanda knows she guessed correctly.  “Spock,” she says gently, “have you experienced one of these bonds?”

“Yes, mother.  Six of them.  Nyota and Jim were unable to determine the origins of the bonds through their research, but I predicted you would have some knowledge of it.”  Something she wouldn’t hesitate to call satisfaction or pride on a human brushes across his face. 

“Six,” she breathes.  There is no reason to lie, and Spock’s preternatural telepathic abilities are well documented.  This is not beyond the realm of possibility. 

Sarek, she knows, will ask how long this has been happening, want to calculate the distance between Spock and these other people, measure the strength of the bonds.  But those are questions for Sarek to ask.

Instead, Amanda asks, “What are their names?” and sees her son’s face brighten for the first time in ages

Sharon monitors the signals from USS Shenzhou, USS Farragut, and USS Prometheus, all schedule to check in with Command today, when she notices a sonic anomaly in one of the transmissions.  Only, they don’t look like subspace, more—

“..hear me?  —lo, can you hear me? —fleet command, —me?”

Her eyes narrow.  That voice doesn’t sound right, and they’re not hailing from any assigned frequencies.  How the hell...

She boosts the transmission.  “This is Starfleet command; state your name and location.”

“Oh, thank god!  Uh, my name is Nyota Uhura and you have to send a ship to Tarsus IV, now!  Governor Kodos, he’s—”

The voice cuts out again.  Sharon frowns and responds.  “Kid, I have no idea how you got on this frequency, but this is reserved for Starfleet communications only.”  She makes a note in the log and then scrambles the line.

Only, five minutes later it happens again.

“Starfleet command, can you hear me?  This is Nyota Uhura again, you have to listen, please he’s ki—”

Who the hell is this girl?  “Listen, Uhura, this frequency is reserved for Starfleet Command.  You need to clear it for official business.”  She reaches out to scramble the line again when her voice comes through, much clearer this time.

“Please, he’s killing them, he’s shooting them!  You have to listen, please!”

Killing?  “Who’s killing who?” She says sharply, hands hovering over the controls.  God, what the hell, the girl sounds genuinely distressed.  Val’tk turns to look at her questioningly and she waves her hand at him.

“Governor Kodos, on Tarsus IV.  He’s—he shooting them.  He told them he had to kill them, the crops are failing, they don’t have enough food, please you have to send someone right now!”

“Tarsus IV?” Sharon replies.  “The new colony near uncharted space?”  She hesitates.  This would be a hell of a prank to play, but...

Muting her transmitter, she turns to Val’tk.  “When was the last transmission from Tarsus IV?”

He eyes her, but pulls up the logs anyway.  His eyes race over the data.  “A few days ago; nothing out of the ordinary.”

She frowns, and unmutes.  “Look, nice try, kid, but seeing as you’re on Earth and Tarsus hasn’t reported crop failures of any kind, there’s no way what you’re saying is true.”  A few more seconds and she initiates traceback on the signal, putting her somewhere in eastern African Confederation.  

“Now, I’m ordering you to surrender this line, as it’s reserved for Starfleet Command only.”  And she scrambles it again, kicking Uhura, whoever she is, off the frequency.

But then the kid comes back again.

“Starfleet Command, this is Nyota Uhura, again.  I’m not going to stop until you listen to me!  Please, just—please.  Jim needs your help!  They’re running away from the guards now but I think—I think everyone’s dead,” her voice breaks, and Sharon hesitates again.

Jesus, this is crazy, there’s no way.  But...oh, fuck it. 

“Look, Uhura, there’s no proof what you’re saying is true.  Where are you even getting this information?”  She asks.

The line falls silent, for long enough that she considers switching it off again, but then Uhura comes back. 

“You can...you can contact the Vulcan embassy. What’s your name?”

And now they’re back to crazy, but there’s still something about this...”Lieutenant Sharon Cartwright.”

“Lieutenant, contact the Vulcan embassy and tell them your name.  They’ll put you through to...to someone who can confirm what’s happening.”

“Look, kid, I don’t have time for—”

“Please, I’m begging you, please.  The longer you wait the more people are going to die, just contact the embassy!”

Fuck.  Is she really doing this?

“Hey, there’s...” Val’tk interrupts.  “Someone from United Earth just requested access to the Tarsus IV data transmissions.  It’s here in the logs.”  Sharon turns to him and feels something uneasy work through her stomach.

She stares at Val’tk for a long moment.  “Alright, kid.  Please hold.”

What even is the line for the Vulcan Embassy in San Francisco?  Her fingers fly through the contact list, and she pulls up their number.

Man, she’s going to get in so much trouble for this if they’re wrong.  “Vulcan embassy, this is,” she blows out, “Lieutenant Sharon Cartwright from Starfleet Command.  I’m told you can put me through to someone to confirm what’s happening on Tarsus IV?”

A pause, a long pause, where Sharon goes back to thinking, this is nuts, I just got pnked by some asshole with a ham radio, when the Vulcan says, “One moment.  Connecting you to Ambassador Sarek now.”

“Ambassador Sarek?” she blurts, but they’re already putting her through.

The ambassador doesn’t waste any time. “Lieutenant Cartwright, I can indeed confirm what Ms. Uhura has told you about Tarsus IV.  Governor Kodos’s guards have opened fired on the colonists, for reasons unknown at this time.  We do not yet know how many are dead.”

Sharon just...stops.  Checks that she’s really taking to the Ambassador from Vulcan again.  Stares back at Val’tk, who hasn’t stopped looking at her.

“I’m going to...put you through to Commander Aldrin, Ambassador.”  She mechanically transfer’s the Ambassador’s line, sends a notification that her CO needs to pick up the comm right the fuck now what the fuck is happening.

Then she takes Uhura off hold.  “Uhura, the Ambassador confirmed your story.  I don’t,” Sharon laughs shortly, hysteria bubbling up her chest, “I have no clue what’s going on, kid, but I’m pretty sure you do.  Where are you getting your information?”

Crackling silence, then, “I share a telepathic bond with one of the colonists.”

“And what’s his name, kid?”

“Jim Kirk.”

Telepathic bond, fuck.  How clear is it?  “What’s Jim Kirk,” she looks at Val’tk pointedly, “doing right now?” Val’tk moves hurriedly to pull the information up.  Fuck if this isn’t either of their jobs, but also fuck if Sharon’s going to foist this off on someone else.

“Running.  He’s—they’re running.  When he figured it out he grabbed people and they starting running and the guards started shooting and now they’re outside and it’s loud and—”

I put this kid on hold, Sharon thinks.  I kicked her off the line, twice.  “Okay, Uhura.  It’ll be—” alright? no it won’t, fuck, “the Ambassador is talking to Starfleet right now, we’re aware of the situation.  Just keep talking to me, okay?  Can you do that, Uhura?”

“...yes.  Yes, I can do that, Lieutenant.”

Chris blinks at the sight of that crazy Russian genius kid everyone keeps going on about waving his hands in Spock’s face yelling about math.

And then raises his eyebrows when Spock starts clearly arguing back, with more agitation in his movements than Chris has ever seen before, even that one time they got into it with the Tellarite delegation on that one planet.

Huh.  Now that he thinks about it, they’re about the same age, even though Spock seems so much older in Chris’s head.

“Lieutenant Commander Spock,” he calls out, stepping forward to insert himself into the conversation, just because he’s curious.

Spock immediately straightens and pulls out of whatever staring contest he’d been in.  “Yes, Captain.”  He salutes, picture perfect, while the Russian kid is still pulling himself out of whatever fugue math-rage he’s in.

“At ease.”  Chris nods to the kid.  “And who’s this?”

“Oh!”  He gets off a salute and immediately starts babbling.  “Chekov, sir, Pavel Andreievich.  Sorry, sir.  We were just arguing about the mass gap and Yang-Mills existence.”

“Of course you were.”

Hendorff spend the entire shuttle ride trying not to send angry, confused glances at Uhura.  His abdomen is still bruised like a peach from where she planted her foot in his stomach out of nowhere, just because he hit the townie hitting on her.

Yeah, he was buzzed, but she was clearly miles ahead of this asshole.  She should be thanking him.

But instead, she and the asshole spend the entire ride sitting next to each other, leaning into the space between them.  He’s had classes with Uhura before, last year, and they see each other in passing around campus; not once did she seem like she was...basking in anyone’s presence like she is right now.  Even helped him with his fucking seatbelt!

At least the asshole seems just as awed to be sitting next to her, but come on.  He calls bullshit.

And then the shuttle lands.

They dock right on campus and the other cadets start unlatching and pouring out the hatch, bleeding off in twos and threes while Captain Pike does final checks before shutdown.  Uhura and the asshole practically leap out the door, and Hendorff catches up just in time to see them crash into a group of cadets waiting just outside.

He recognizes them, mostly; the same guys Uhura spends all her time with.  Not that Hendorff is keeping tabs, its just that everyone knows who they are.  Academy rumor has it they’re either going to run the ‘fleet someday, or burn it to the ground.

All four of them, Uhura, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekov, have the asshole in a death grip, seeming to clutch at whatever part of him and each other they can reach.  He feels something like unease run down his spine.  Maybe...maybe they know each other?

Fuck, of course they knew each other, you don’t hug a stranger like that.  Now the question is how the hell do they know each other.

As he sidesteps them (still basically right in front of the shuttle hatch, like they hadn’t noticed they were in the way and about fifteen different people stopped to gawk) he hears the asshole say, “When does Bones get in?  And where the hell is Spock, huh?”

At that point, he mentally throws up his hands and surrenders to the confusion.  No fucking way he’ll figure out how a dumb hick from Iowa knows Starfleet’s brightest cadets and Lieutenant Commander Spock before even setting foot on campus.

John Laurens X M! S/o Pride headcanons

Character: John Laurens (Hamilton) x male reader! 

Type: Headcanons +moodboard

Triggers: Tear gas, protests, drinking, sexual innuendo, racism, homophobia

Word count: 1,117

General S/o

If you’re dating John Laurens you gotta be okay with cuddles

He the most cuddly boi ever (Please love him)

He’s definitely the type to hug you at random moments and ask for cuddles like John you’re adorable but the pancakes are burning

I feel like John is a sucker for simple domestic things. Seeing you fall asleep in his arms? Watching you make breakfast in your boxers? He will m e l t

He’s very affectionate! Random kisses are a big part of how he shows he loves you (Please tell him if you’re not okay with it the boi will understand)

If you’re the type to drown him in compliments please warn him! He might cry

Babe you know you mean the world to me? John.exe has stopped functioning

He can’t deal with it, he blushes every time

He won’t buy you a lot of stuff but he will 100% make you stuff! 

I hc John as a pretty great artist so expect a lot of drawings of you! 

If you’re the type to spoil him he will internally die every single time

Hey babe I got you that book about the American revolution you wanted! I would die for you

John loves going on adventurous dates or just general fun dates. He’s the type to go skydiving with you if you let him. Or maybe just a theme park! (If you go to Disney with the boi he will beg you to go on all the roller coasters and will try to buy all the stuffed animals I don’t make the rules)

But if you prefer more tame dates that’s fine! I mean he loves coffee shops and movie nights as much as the next guy. And to share it with the most handsome man? Who could ever say no? 

He might fall asleep if you’re doing a movie night though.

His southern drawl comes out when he’s sleepy so like, enjoy horny bastards

But like seriously early morning/ late is usually when things go down (usually you) 

(I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself) 

He’s 100% more cuddly when he’s sleeping. He will not let go! Especially if you’re warm (And if you’re the type to kick in your sleep he will still hang on)

You’ll wake up with his face nuzzled in your neck while he begs you for just 5 more minutes, please????

He is a blanket burrito kinda guy. He’s usually v cold so he uses it as an excuse to get affection. Babe, I’m freezing only kisses will warm me up 

He doesn’t sleep too late, 12 am is basically his limit and if you stay awake longer he will pout until you join him. 

C u d d l e  h i m

And don’t try to stay up late! He will force you into bed by 1 am, he’s gotten a lot of practice with getting Alex into bed he is really good.

John is a pretty deep sleeper like you’ll have to work hard to wake him up. You can try tickling, just basic shoving, and if nothing else works play All-star very loudly. (If you can get him off you that is-)

Or you can make him breakfast! 

Speaking of breakfast (Great segue) it’s the only food John really knows how to cook. He can’t make pasta but you’ll find him snacking on waffles at 8 am.

If you know how to cook then teach the boi !!! He’ll hang on to every word you say and John no you don’t have to take notes. Please don’t leave him in the kitchen alone though if he’s trying something new, not after the sprinkle incident- (*Lightning strikes dramatically in the background*)

If you don’t know how to cook its fine y’all could learn together! I mean all the google recipes didn’t turn out so well and you had to invite Laf and Herc over to teach you but still!

He does like baking though! 

Well only chocolate chip cookies

Fine only cookie dough

Oh, you thought Hamilton was extreme? Well, meet John brings-up-the genocide-of-the-natives-at-a-children’s-party Laurens!

He’s going to be so busy caring about everything going on the world except himself

Please take care of him! 

He goes to every protest and puts himself in front of anyone being harassed by cops It’s better me than them they get enough of that shit

Pack him googles or protective eyewear!!! 

He’s gotten tear-gassed so many times-

You’ve found him crying over news report after news report multiple times

Remind him that it’s okay to unplug for a bit! He will burn himself out emotionally if you don’t.

Going to pride

John isn’t the type to dress up normally but like Does this outfit have enough rainbows babe? I wanna piss off the homophobes

Pray for the homophobes who give you shit what the hell did you just call my boyfriend????

He doesn’t care he will 100% fight them 

(If you want to stop John from being charged with assault pull him into a kiss! It’s a win/win scenario the Homophobe gets even more pissed off and he gets kisses!)

Y’all visit a booth with rainbow plushies and OH MY GOD THERE’S A RAINBOW TURTLE CAN WE BUY IT PLEASE

He names the turtle after you and gets Herc to make it clothes  (Exclusively turtlenecks, John likes puns okay) 

After going to a parade John would like to tour a bunch of queer bars with you! He loves how lively they are and the sense of community! (Plus he won’t pass up booze, ever)

If you don’t drink/ don’t like bars that fine too! Y’all could cuddle while watching Love Simon he doesn’t mind! (He will cry though, every time)

Celebrating pride at home

I hc that John has a Tumblr he uses to educate himself and others about multiple issues but during pride month it’s all about LGBT issues!

You’ll find him in the living room reading an 80-page pdf and you’re like ??? Oh yeah I asked Alex for his resources on the Bathroom bill-he got excited’

He will try out some rainbow themed recipes! (Again he doesn’t know how to cook so please make sure he doesn’t poison himself!)

Will 100% tweet about how cute you are constantly (he does that usually he just is a lil extra gayer during pride month)

You will be using Youtube/Netflix party to binge-watch Thomas’s sanders and Sense8 I don’t make the rules

He loves you so much! Every day he wakes up with you in his arms is a great one!

Take care of him please

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you so much for reading this! I’ll (try) to post something every day of pride month! (Complete with a moodboard). Okay but seriously I know we’re all happy because it’s pride but black people are still being murdered. I’ve reblogged several ways you can help including ways you can help if you can’t donate on my other blog @fight-me-i-dare-you-bro. 

Stay safe everyone

[isabeladraws]

Your last asks have made me curious, and I wanted to ask you... What are your main fandoms? Like, in terms of tv shows and books, if you are into them.

sense8

queer eye

i’m not the biggest movie/book fan anymore, especially movies. i much prefer to watch a tv show and get to know characters through a long period of time than have a 2 hour movie and then it’s done. 

but, books i love:

the night circus - favorite book of all time, i need to reread it.

harry potter

shadow and bone - i started this and then never picked up the second book but i really want to! 

the hunger games series

i have read more but i don’t love them now as an adult like i did when i was a teenager. 

movies i love:

rise of the guardians

the cardcaptor sakura movies - this is very random but i love sakura so much, she’s my absolute favorite ever my baby girl. i loved these movies as a child

harry potter HOWEVER. i feel like i get mad watching them now because it misses so many details and moments between characters that it just pisses me off. also? what HAPPENED in that writing room to make ginny like that? appalling. no offense to bonnie but my girl deserved much better

you know... i’m a k- 🤢 kpop 🤢 fan so i watch a lot of k-shows

my faves are:

heart signal - oh my god if you like those trashy romance shows this is for you. filmed super high quality, most likely very scripted but i eat it up! season 3 just started and i’m living! 

love catcher - similar to heart signal but you choose to be in the game for either money or love. the contestants need to figure out if the person they like is either money or love because in the end, if a money pairs up with a love, the money person gets 50,000$. 

handsome tigers - i believe this just recently ended. i loved it so much! i didn’t expect to like watching basketball but it was so much fun. 

knowing bros - i don’t watch this often at all anymore but, if there’s a guest i enjoy, i’ll usually watch it. 

youn’s kitchen 2 - if you like more a chill out, long episodes type of show, this is amazing for that. it’s so relaxing, so fun to watch. it’s about an old korean actress that opens a restaurant in spain with other 3 actors. they serve korean food. it’s very wholesome. i just rewatched it recently, i absolutely love it. the first season i can’t seem to find subbed so :(

kang’s kitchen - it’s made by the same producer that does youn’s kitchen and it brings the cast of new journey to the west to open a pop-up restaurant. opposite of relaxing but it’s so funny. if you need a laugh give this a go cause it’s hillarious! there’s 3 seasons now of this cast, so the order i’d recommend is njttw 1, 2, 3, 4, kangs kitchen 1, njttw 5, 6, 7, kang’s kitchen 2/3 

favorite k-dramas: 

strong woman do bong soon

w: two worlds

reply 1988 (obviously)

goblin

age of youth 1 & 2 - please watch this oh my god. it’s about a group of girls and their lives and it talks about so many “taboo-ish” subjects in korea that you really don’t see in other dramas. so well done. 

hotel del luna

i have watched many many more but these are the ones at the top of my head. the ones that i actually rewatch and still love.

Finis

please read author’s note at the end, thank you!

You love Peter Parker, and he was a not so subtle crush on you, the only problem is that he’s your best friend’s ex.

word count- 1.2k

// Masterlist // part one //part two // part three // part four  // series masterlist

Peter subconsciously pulled at the ends of his sleeves. Your father’s menacing glare piercing through him.

“Peter” your father simply said, not really to greet.

“Sir,”  Peter wiped his hands on his jeans. If there’s one thing that he learned over the years it was that your father is kinda old fashioned in the way that demanded respect. A firm handshake and mannerism, lord help the boy that broke her heart.

Peter was the boy who broke your heart this time. He should’ve known that you would’ve told your dad about what happened, probably not going into some much detail, but just enough for your father to know that your sadness was caused by Peter Parker.

“Is (Yn) here?” Peter tried as hard as he could to not let his voice show the nervousness inside.

“She’s here.” Your dad looked Peter up and down, if Pete was crazy he said that your father was sizing him up.

“Could I talk to her?” As nervous as he was, patience wasn’t something that Peter had mastered. He was frustrated. Frustrated at himself for walking out on you. Frustrated at May and Ned, who seem to think that their advice about his feelings are better. Frustrated that your dad was so menacing and tall and basically bigger than him in every way.

“Give me one good reason why I should let you talk to my daughter.”

Those words hurt, Peters not gonna lie. Of course, he deserved that, if he was in your father’s place, he would be just as angry, maybe even angrier.

“Dad, stop.” Came a small voice from behind the wrestler of a father. “Let him in.” It was you, wearing considerably comfortable clothing. Made sense, as it was a Saturday.

Grudgingly, your father moved aside, letting Peter into the apartment. The living room/ kitchen smelled of bacon. Peter awkwardly stood in the living room, the semi-minimalistic set up mildly comforting him. It’s not he’s never been in your apartment, it was mostly an in and out trip. When you had to grab something from your room or forgot a charger before the group of friends were off to somewhere. If the three to five of them were lucky, your mom would be home and offer the teenagers some drinks or snacks. They always obliged to do so, it was polite.

Your father stood behind Peter, his arms crossed as he stared angrily at the back of Peter’s head.

“Hey dad,” you started, successfully getting the attention of the rhino of a man you called a father. “Would it be alright if me and Pete talk alone for a bit?”

“It’s ok, whatever Peter says, he can say it to the both of us.” Your father's usual mellow voice coming through, a tone that he only took with you and your mother.

Despite the change in tone, Peter’s eyes widen. He could never, ever, confess his love for you in front of your dad. The thought alone of rejection stung him from within, but adding your dad to the mix, he would surely burst into flames of embarrassment.

“Dad. This is important, just stay here and watch some of your Sense8 show thing well Peter and I talk in my room, please?” Peter noticed the slight change in your voice. The higher pitch surely meant you were begging.

Your father agreed, only if you left the door open. Which Peter understood, the whole ‘protective father’ trope still apparent.

The walk to your bedroom was short, but it felt like forever. The anxiety of it all finally washing over Peter. You sat awkwardly at your desk, the minimalistic theme still going in your bedroom, but with a few nick-nacks here and there, some Star Wars posters and even a map of the moon covering your walls. It was a teenager’s dream.

Peter sat on your be. It was a few minutes before someone spoke.

“I’m sorry.” Said Peter, wholeheartedly.  Your face showed that you were mildly confused, or angry. Peter wasn’t very good at reading people. “I shouldn’t have walked out like I did and-”

“Well, you did.”, the harshness of your voice cutting there Peter like butter. He visibly flinched.

“I know, which was such a dick move- and I justed wanted to apologize to you for leaving, I guess?”

“You guess? Peter, you left me there. I felt humiliated and confessed. Not to mention the fact that I literally just exposed my feelings for you, I mean, what was so important that you couldn’t just say no?” Tears were close to falling, which made Peter feel even worse. This was not the way that he planned this would go. You kept talking, but sadly, Peter didn’t listen. Too busy trying to sort his feelings.

Whether it was the frustration, the nervousness and almost definite signs of a nervous breakdown, or the confidence that caused the following outburst, but it happened.

“Dammit! Don’t you get it? I’m trying to tell you I love you!” This efficiently shut you up, your memorizing (ec) eyes widening. Peter looked you dead in the eye and stood up. “I’ve loved you since that first day of Freshman year.” Peter grabbed your forearms and stood you up, bringing you to his height, and there, in the middle of your bedroom, on any old Saturday. Peter kissed you.

-

Eventually, you two had to separate, the basic human need for oxygen interfering with your moment. You remember your mom telling you that your first kiss would be magical, and in a way she was right. I mean, the average human doesn’t share their first kiss with the person they had a crush on for almost 4 years.

The overall shook of the situation faded away, your brain switching back to reasoning. You looked up at Peter, whose face was in a goofy grin.

“And what about Tris?” out of any single phrase to come out of your mouth, you decided on that one. Which seems logical, she was the only person holding you back from asking out Peter.

“And what about her? She doesn’t matter.” Pete sighed, the string lights hanging around your room were dazzling in his eyes. “I know you girls have some sort of code, but in the words of Michelle, ‘its a 20th-century idea set up by men to put girls against each other’ fear of numbers or something like that”  His grip around your waist slightly tightening.

You laughed, the grin on Peter’s face spreading. There, you realized something;

You were absolutely in love with Peter Parker. Disgustingly adorable in love with him.

“So is this” you gestured around you two, “a thing?”

“Only if you want it to be.” He says, hope in his chocolate brown eyes.

“Of course, I want it to be” you smiled.

You pulled him down and brought your lips together once again.

The stress that came with a crush suddenly disappeared, the thoughts of Tris didn’t matter, even your Calculus final didn’t matter. All that mattered was that you were finally in a relationship with Peter.

all peter/tom stuff @dorkyparkers

if you’re reading this, then you obviously saw the note at the beginning (extra points for you!) Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for this incredible journey, and support through all this. However, this gratitude comes at a cost, I am sorry to announce that this marks the end of the Girl Code. Yep! and 7k words, like 400 sentences (I love my commas) this is it. However, there is a sequel in the works, I kinda wanted the whole getting together thing in one set of parts, but this story is NOT over yet. I assume anyone who has asked thus far to be tagged in Girl Code would also want to be tagged in this still unnamed sequel? Please shoot me an ask, and free feel to tell me what you liked about this (or tell me to delete my blog, it’s up to you) Anyways, thanks again! See you soon my dudes!

Unfiltered sweary mess: 507 edition

I had thoughts so I decided to this again. Let’s hope it doesn’t become a habit.

Let’s start with the Bellarke of it all, and the sheer joy of seeing them hustle up a plan together on the fly. AND LISTEN I am not on the #bellamysucksnow train, or the #bellarkeisdead train either and as such fair warning there is squee incoming. It feels like the core of the show has returned to us after s4’s barren years and IT IS GREAT. And honestly? I don’t care that romance isn’t in the air between them RIGHT NOW. I thought I would mind but I don’t. It feels right. It feels true to Bellamy, and it feels true to Clarke, and it feels exactly like the vibe I’d expect and want between two characters who love and respect each other and their choices, who have been apart for so long and need to reconnect. Let’s do right by Clarke and Bellamy, yeah? We’ve waited for 4 seasons (the last of which gave us sweet fa) we can wait a little longer.

And seriously, even if it turns out they are just beautiful co-leaders with a lot of professional respect for each other (yeah RIGHT) they could never, ever kill that relationship for me as long as they are in scenes together like this. I don’t care if they don’t bang (call me out on my lies someone), but the concurrent Bellarke scenes in the dining hall, and the triffid room, and then on Echo-watch just gave me so many OTP vibes. Bellarke are at their most effective when they’re together, even better when they have the support of their genius friends. And we got a return of the Bellarke dry-as comedy double act WTF @the100writersroom are you trying to be good at your jobs or something.

Top bantz, as we’d say in Essex.

Too bad the Bellarke unity ain’t gonna last, but thankfully, Bellarke are just as awesome when they are just…very angry and exasperated with each other ok, but DON’T HURT YOUR PRECIOUS SELF I MAY BE FURIOUS BUT WHEN DID YOU LAST SLEEP AND DO YOU NEED SOMETHING TO EAT

Great to have Monty back in the frame cutting through everyone’s bullshit. I thought he’d been relegated to a bit part this season. Oh ye of little faith. Does anyone realise that Monty is the biological weapon earth forgot? Put that angry face in a room with Octavia and see how long it takes for her to crack and wither from Monty’s externalised disappointment with everyone and everything.

Bellamy burning Octavia ow ow ow. I’ve already spoken about this at some length but damn that hurt. And it was deserved, but still spoke to the depth of his contempt for Blodreina.

Which brings me to…BELLARKE V BLODREINA: GRUDGE MATCH

And man, was this grudge match some time coming. To make sure the audience was VERY CLEAR on EVERYONE’S MORAL STANDING, the show helpfully prepped us with some little reminders that Bellamy helped commit a massacre, and Clarke did a load of horrible human testing in Becca’s lab last season. Thanks show.

So, all armed and loaded, the mud slinging began, and boy was it awesome.  First of all Bellarke takes Octavia to task about the worms and TURNS OUT OCTAVIA DIDN’T KNOW which get a grip on power here Octavia because it’s slipping from your grasp faster than you can say Wonkru Barbecue (shoutout to @mego42 – your time is coming). But Miller obviously watched the earlier part of the show and recapped for Octavia just in time because she’s ready for that shit and fires everyone’s dark past back at them. Cue: Bellamy’s best frowny face and Eliza Taylor’s saddest, most regretful Clarke eyes.

Bellarke disarmed and cowed (for now) live to fight another war they don’t want to fight.

But Octavia’s grudge match continues in her office when Indra enters with the intention of being reasonable, which is exactly the kind of shit Blodreina has warned her about before so help her god.

Indra is, obviously, the Queen of Everything and My Heart and delivers some bitchass Truths as Indra is wont to do and Octavia rewards her by throwing what my mind remembers as a skull but was probably a paperweight because why would Octavia have a skull in her office *nervous laughter*

Indra leaves, still Queen of Everything and My Heart, but not before delivering a portentous warning about losing yourself in the dark, which obviously Octavia is not going to listen to because DAUGHTERS, MAN.

Talking of daughters, Madi trying to suck at training was the most adorbs thing I’ve seen in a long time, guys and I am subscribed to a LOT of cat blogs. And man I felt for her. Sucking at anything sucks, and sucking on PURPOSE is just the height of unfair. And she’s in a new school! And the other kids are mean! And maybe they eat people!

Serious question though: from whence did Madi learn her swordswomanship? Clarke? Helios? Roan? (too soon?).

But don’t blame Clarke, Madi! Clarke’s Madi feels are pretty much on a par with mine which means she wants to cry every time she looks at her earnest little face AND CLARKE I FEEL THAT SO HARD YOUR BABY IS ADORABADASS. Which also means MAMA MODE ACTIVATED when Vodka Aunt Octavia starts messing up that precious braid she put in Madi’s hair earlier.

Hey Vodka Aunt, you don’t just get to come in here and make executive choices about Madi’s career, especially given your past efforts at parenting *looks at Ethan*

Oh, oh, oh and WE GOT A RETURN OF THE MUSICAL INTERLUDE! It was like Knocking on Heaven’s Door and Early Seasons feels all over again. But I gotta say Jason, fresh from the Sense8 finale my musical interlude expectations are higher these days and I was a bit disappointed there wasn’t a dance off. Perhaps an orgy or an endgame B/C/E triad instead? *Wanheda jaw clench*

But anyway that whole sequence of Clarke sending Madi off to her first day of training sent me in to a spiral of sadness that lasted for a lot of minutes I wasn’t counting. It was very sad and I am sad about it. Poor Clarke.  Just as well Octavia helped her remember she’s motherfucking Wanheda.

MY GIRL ECHO MY GIRLING UP THE HOUSE.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate what a babe Echo kom Spacekru nee Azgeda is.  First of all: EVIDENCE OF SPACE GIRL SQUAD and I am all here for that. Second of all Echo is officially the first person on the show to get one over of Colonel Charmaine Diyoza SOMEONE GET ME A FUCKING SHOT.

And listen up everyone who bashes at their keyboards dribbling with rage about the things other women like on television: I love ladies with swords and if you want an apology for that you’ll have to prise it out of my cold dead body. But can we just take a (second) moment to appreciate that for all of Echo’s badass sword skills, she is Clarke Griffining up this joint like a motherfucker. Echo is as Slytherin as Clarke and as sneaky as Clarke and as smart as Clarke and that manoeuvre she executed with Zeke and Raven was 100% a Clarke Griffin move, don’t @ me.

It’s almost like….they’re similar….on purpose….

Shout out to all the smart, insecure girls who aren’t sure if they belong. Learn to swordfight, use your brain, and get yourself a girl squad and a soft space dad boyfriend.

Sidebar: Clarke’s faith that Echo would take the eye down and her admiration when she does will keep me in Clecho feels for months.

But friends…I am the most fervent of Echo stans and Becho shippers and I am AFEARED. She is very much circling the abyss here and it gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. I believe Raven will forgive her (FOR WHAT CAN SOMEONE PLS ENLIGHTEN ME AS TO WHAT RAVEN IS SO PISSED ABOUT??) and I believe the rest of Spacekru will 100% understand what she did because it was presented to us as an understandable choice.  But but but… what’s next?  Diyoza ain’t gonna take the turn the other cheek approach to learning that Echo took down her eye in the sky. What if her next move is to make *Echo* her eyes in exchange for safe passage for Spacekru?

*sweats forever*

That seems like a Diyoza move. And like…where would that leave Echo with Bellamy? Her choice would be: tell him and risk the whole mission and/or turn him into a lying liar to his sister too, or not tell him and risk their entire relationship and hurt him very badly. I think I know which one my loyal girl would choose and how that would end.

Fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

*ugly crying*

I’m not ready.

Okay it’s time for a Raven rant. What the hell is going on with Raven this season? Raven has had some beautifully executed arcs in the past, and I am high key here for her to finally get some NC-17 action now she’s done all that Work On Herself, but if Raven’s arc in s5 amounts to RAVEN DIDN’T GET BONED FOR 6 YEARS AND NOW SHE’S GETTING BONED then Imma flip a table.

Sidebar#2 obviously Raven got boned on the Ring, it’s not like they would have had a space orgy without her, come ON.

And just… I’m sorry I don’t get the Zaven. When they released the s5 pics I thought WOWZA these two are gonna be gr9 together and LOOK HE’S A SPACE EXPLORER. How could this possibly go wrong?  But somehow, they’ve managed to introduce a character who, on his own, is 10x as compelling as Wick, but has about -100% of the chemistry with Raven. Which is???? Some kind of alchemy??? how has that happened? I love Zeke! I love Raven!!! They’re both MAGNETIC on screen. On paper they should be a perfect fit but it’s like whenever they’re in the same scene together I have the sudden urge to check my emails.

And someone, please, just tell me what work Zaven is doing for either of these characters. What’s Raven’s conflict? How does Zeke resolve it? Is it *literally* Raven being presented with a hot dude with a similar skill set? Sorry I’m out.

And before anyone comes at me with the usual packet of whining about how Echo has stolen all of Raven’s screentime, I’d beg you all to remember that there is no law saying that one woman’s time on tv has to be at the expense of another and this is a GIANT SEXIST TRAP DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

Talking of out, Kabby is also circling the drain and [averts eyes from discourse].

But I’m calling Diyoza’s ship name, and if she bangs Kane I hereby pronounce it TEQUILA [whatever Kane’s ship name is, someone hmu].

OK I need to talk about Gaia now before I get shot down by a thunderbolt. The girl creeps me tf out but I SOMEHOW LOVE HER NOW. This is new and unnerving because feverish religious types are not usually my jam ESPECIALLY if they present Clarke’s daughter with a creepy sacred flash drive that they want to insert in her neck, but somehow Tati Gabrielle nails that line, even if my reaction seeing the Flame was exactly the same as my reaction to seeing the worms.

But I believe Gaia’s intentions, while creepy, are pure. And WHO PICKED UP on how fluid her loyalty is? She will serve Blodreina faithfully as long as she reigns. Huh.

In other news McCreary, and more importantly McCreary’s undercut, were absent from this episode I hope they are both enjoying Memori’s couples counselling retreat. I look forward to seeing his glazed expression next week as I cry my Becho tears.

Queer main storylines in Netflix shows

I am sick to fucking death of trying to figure out if a TV show available on Netflix has a main storyline that’s explicitly queer, so I’m making a post to document all the ones I’ve found so far and I am BEGGING YOU TO ADD ANY MORE YOU KNOW OF.

This list WILL NOT CONTAIN:

SPOILERS OF ANY KIND (no character names, no indication of whether or not any of the queer characters actually end up together, NADA)

shows with main storylines that are IMPLICITLY queer (Supernatural, Sherlock, etc. are not welcome)

shows with a queer main character, but little to no plot revolving around that (The Get Down and Halt and Catch Fire, though otherwise wonderful, are not welcome)

shows with a queer main or secondary character and a queer subplot which doesn’t start till many seasons into the show - the queer plotline happens in season 1 or it’s not on this post (Sons of Anarchy isn’t welcome)

shows that meet all of the criteria but are available anywhere other than Netflix (Pose, though an excellent show we should all watch, isn’t on here)

NO SPOILERS AT AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL because finding out which character is queer and seeing any queer plotlines or relationships unfold is literally the entire point

This list WILL CONTAIN:

ONLY SHOWS WITH EXPLICITLY QUEER MAIN, SECONDARY, OR VIEWPOINT CHARACTERS AND A MAIN OR SECONDARY PLOT/STORYLINE THAT REVOLVES EXPLICITLY AROUND THAT FACT

Shows that I don’t actually like or that are harmful because you know what? Y’all get to make your own judgement calls I’m just giving you a specific type of information

ONLY an indication of whether or not there’s a main queer character and a main queer plotline - no character names, no indication of how it works out, NOTHING

“Queer” = lesbian, gay, wlw, mlm, trans, polyamory, bi, pan, ace, aro, intersex, nb, agender, ALL of us

K? Ready? On with the shows.

TV SHOWS AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX FEATURING AN EXPLICITLY QUEER MAIN PLOTLINE WITHOUT SPOILERS

Sense8 - multiple queer viewpoint characters and multiple possible queer relationships

Troy: Fall of a City - queer main character with possible queer relationship

Grace and Frankie - queer main characters with a possible queer relationship

Queer Eye - there’s no “story” per se but the main point of the show is, as the title implies, hella queer

Orange is the New Black - multiple queer main characters and multiple possible queer relationships

Black Mirror: San Junipero - (each episode of the show is its own story) queer main characters with the possibility of a queer relationship

Wynonna Earp - queer main character with the possibility of a queer relationship

Queer as Folk - multiple main queer characters with multiple possible queer relationships

Glee - queer main character with the possibility of queer relationships

Help a queer person out - please add any I’ve missed!

All of these are confirmed available for streaming on Netflix as of 7/14/18

I tried to send this to Netflix but they have no contact email

<p>Dear Kala Dandekar,

You are a fictional character in this fictional yet magical world of Sense8. However even though you are a fictional character, you have had one of the biggest influences on my life. There have been many inspirational female characters currently on television as well as in the past, that men and women have been able to look up to such as Michonne from the Walking Dead, Daenerys from Game of Thrones, Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec, just to name a few. I as a woman am so lucky that I have been exposed to and feel connected to, so many badass and empowered women on TV. However I’m not just a woman, I am a woman of colour, a fact that is made obvious to me every time I look in the mirror, walk down the road and wake up in the morning.

I was born in Sydney, Australia one of the greatest cities in the world, in one of the greatest countries in the world. Being a kid in the early 2000’s in Australia did not expose me to many role models of colour, let alone individuals of Indian origin and this did have an impact on me, and the way I saw myself, and my cultural heritage. In school I had fellow students use my beautiful ethnicity as a way to sadden me. They made me feel low about my brown skin, my dark hair, the food I ate and my cultural identity was heavily bruised as well as my self-esteem. Any child of migrants would know of the challenge of balancing your ethnic background and the culture of the country you are growing up in. When your ethnic background is the reason that people are tearing you down, you try and distance yourself from that. I was at war with myself without people, apart from my family, to look up to.

And now, finally at the age of 17 I was able to watch a character, you, who not only looked like me but also promoted all the same ideologies that I have as well as be on a television show that I love. Kala, thank you for being a badass, smart, intelligent, kind, interesting, complex and relatable character that I needed. Thank you for helping me drown out the loud noise of others and at times myself, telling me to ignore my ethnicity. Thank you for being a symbol of strength for not just Indian women, but all women and men around the world. You are the character I’ve wanted to see on TV my whole life.

But now I cannot believe that you are being taken away from me. You have made me feel worth, worth in being represented on a platform that reaches so many people. However I cannot help but feel that that worth means nothing to corporations. My wants and desire for more representation is being taken away because of corporate agenda and now I just have to ask for just representation. My feelings of belonging and self-understanding meaning very little as you are being taken away forever. My heart hurts knowing that I might never get to see an Indian woman portrayed in such a complex and unique way ever again in my life. I am feeling abandoned, let down, hurt and broken knowing that there might be another girl who has to wait another 17 years to find a character that she can honestly say to herself, “She’s my hero!”

I also feel compassion and sympathy for all other fans of Sense8 who felt a similar connection to either Lito, Sun, Nomi, Riley, Wolfgang, Capheus or Will, all characters of diverse and unique backgrounds. I feel sick to my stomach knowing that other shows with no way near as much representation, have had their stories told but are being dragged out for monetary gain, when our story is nowhere near close to being told.

Please Netflix, do not let down a group of loyal, passionate, intelligent and diverse group of fans who want nothing more than to see themselves in the characters you dared to show us. Thank you for being at the forefront of change and showing us this amazing world where we can all be heard. But please, I beg of you, let us feel valid, seen and heard again. I beg of you.

And Kala, thank you for making me feel proud to be me.

Yours truly,

Kelly</p>

So here’s a thing that happened today that no one wants or asked for...

I was typing out an essay that’s due tomorrow but I was sooo close to finishing so I thought ‘hmmm, now would be the perfect time to watch season 2 of sense8 with my sister’ (who hasn’t seen it yet bc I told her she wasn’t allowed to watch it without me). So I ask her if we can watch just the first episode (as if, am I right) and she said yes so I was like yay!!! 

So we’re watching it and she’s screaming and crying and I’m having the time of my life watching her experience what I experienced (I am still, of course, screaming and crying as well). But then the episode finishes with Will’s “YOU THINK YOU’RE HUNTING US? WE’RE COMING FOR YOU” and she is SHOOK so she begs (she didn’t really have to beg but) me to watch the next episode. And I HAVE NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER so I say “OKAY, FINE. JUST ONE MORE” and I play the next episode. 

Literally over 30 minutes in episode 2, her friend, who hasn’t seen any of season 2 yet, walks in and we quickly pause it and SCREAM “WAIT DON’T COME IN HERE, WAIT WAIT STAY RIGHT THERE” and she doesn’t know what’s going on but she is SCREAMING ALSO. I finally say “okay you can come in now... We were watching episode 2 of sense8 season 2, you would’ve been spoiled.” And she looks PISSED AS HELL. SHE LOOKS AT MY SISTER AND SAYS “YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T WATCH IT WITHOUT ME” and my sister is all “NO YOU DIDN’T!!!!!!!! YOU NEVER SAID THAT!!!!!!!!” and I am in the middle of it, acting very innocent as if I wasn’t the one who convinced my sister to watch it with me dshfiahdsifahsidfha

Anyway, they’re yelling at each other for almost 10 mins bc of the “misunderstanding” until my sister’s friend finally says “okay, we’re watching from the beginning”. And I was shocked like “bUT PLEASE WE’RE ALMOST FINISHED WITH THE SECOND EP, JUST LET US FINISH”. But we didn’t know where to PUT HER while we finished the episode because we were watching it on TV with the speakers on full blast so after 5 mins of really contemplating what to do, I FINALLY AGREE TO JUST GO BACK AND WATCH EPISODE 1 AGAIN LIKE GDI. 

MY PLAN was to watch ONE episode with my sister then go back to my ESSAY but NOW I am watching episode 1 for the second time today and we probably aren’t going to stop after episode 2?????????? That’s it, that’s my story??? Basically we are crazy and cannot control ourselves and I am v irresponsible and could probably do my essay while episode 1 plays but um..........what kind of unecessary suffering.....
