The Dodgers (who moved from Brooklyn to LA in 1958) are playing the Yankees this year in the World Series which is funny for a lot of reasons, but also imagine Bucky Barnes in the stands fully decked out in Yankees gear and screaming “TRAITORS” and other obscenities and the Dodgers because he’s still mad about their betrayal

Sam is laughing too hard to breathe and the news is having a field day

The 1936 World Series was another Subway Series, with the Giants up against the Yanks. Interest in the city was so intense that someone—perhaps the owners of Atlas Radio on Cortlandt St., also known as Radio Row?—put up a billboard that was constantly updated to keep those who couldn't stay glued to their sets abreast of the action.

sorry just watched all of lacey's games (thru rabbit hole at time of writing) and i wanna talk about laceys diner can we talk about lacey's diner? we're talking about it now

tl;dr lacey's games is about the presentation and consumption of girls.

cw suicide, csa, incest, cannibalism. if you've seen the series, you know. i only speak of them vaguely here though

in lacey's diner her livelihood depends on how well people like her food, how it looks, how it tastes, how quickly she gets it to them on time. if any of these things falter, they reject her and reinforce her desperation (trauma around failure and acceptance + threat of extreme poverty via the restaurant closing).

eating her food is accepting her, choosing to be with her in some way. lacey gets eaten in the prior episode so her stalker can be with her forever, out of an obsession with her (/her body) that leads him to destroy her to better possess and consume her (like her uncle). she can't be late serving them herself, because that's not good presentation—her inability to get food out on time is a reflection of her flaws, and a cause to reject her. she must be available for others, punctual. she can't put the wrong ingredients in—elements of herself, her life—she must exclude them entirely from the part they eat, the part she gives away. she keeps the part that is filled with the disgusting, ugly, painful things in her life, about her.

and when she gets fed up and feeds those raw, authentic parts of herself to them (out of spite, tired of trying her best to no avail, to give them a taste of their own medicine), she is punished, not allowed to serve anyone again bc it's too gross and dangerous. she is punished for lashing out, for not keeping it all bottled up, and in her helplessness, resigns herself to death.

as seen in rabbit hole, jay was too boyish to be consumed happily by the audience (the mothers in the emails), so she was killed off and effectively haunts lacey. if she is not presentable enough, she too will be destroyed and discarded. if she is too presentable, she will be consumed too completely. she has no control, no say (as we know from lacey's wardrobe), no agency outside of pretending she's in a sparkly dreamy world. and jay—who said she would rather die than wear makeup—is forced by lacey to wear makeup in death. she's fixing her by making her conform to the same gender standards she's strangled by, saying that if she was less boyish she wouldn't have died. again, femininity and conformity (and thus being pleasant to others, presenting oneself to be admired and consumed) is safe to lacey, something she must perform to survive. yet, of course, lacey is hurt immensely for her being a girl, for her being a woman, and for her trauma resulting from those events.

all her talk of being ugly when she's grieving, of almost crying in front of him (her uncle iirc), of needing to be pretty even for the people who abuse and hurt her... and how she wished the world was ugly and grotesque when jay died because that was how it felt, but it was just sunny and oblivious. she was the one standing out for being upset, and the world was pretending and consumable and she couldn't anymore. she had to scrape herself together though because what else is there? when her job and stability and life is at stake, how can she afford to be traumatized? to not pretend, even when she's alone? augh. ough. look i just like lacey. i want her to be ok

i don't know that lacey herself is supposed to have a linear, consistent story. i kind of think she's an avatar for like,, girlhood suffering and trauma, and the traumatized people who come from that (hence her dying in multiple ways and coming back). perhaps as rocio's way of warning or comforting girls who went through similar things to her, or to vent her own issues because the thought of making something that's such a farce, such a forced, gussied up version of what it's like to be a girl, bothers her. the audience comes to the website to consume lacey at her best, at her most presentable, and are instead met with the harsh reality of cockroaches and used condoms. and yet, the audience of lacey games the video series consumes her too, only they are seeking out her trauma, trying to invade her mind and pick it apart. we're all consuming what we want, whatever we find appetizing, of lacey. and for rocio, you get the sense that she is also a tool, a way for rocio to express her inner distress. in that, lacey is put through all this unfortunate shit by rocio to make her more presentable and consumable to her. we are all using lacey, we all see her and eat her and destroy her. and she comes back to us and her cage because the pain's comforting in its familiarity.

in short, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. 👍

Okay so this account is just going to be my think tank for my jayvik x arcane fic for a while.

When jayvik first pop into existence in the hp universe, i want them to be naked and have nothing on them. No braces, no crutches, maybe the only thing reminiscent of their original universe are matching scars from the rune—the hexcore webbing etched into jayces arm and then into viktors hand. I also def want both of them to still be disabled, its just so integral to their characters it would be a disservice to not have that. And bc of that, i think it would be really interesting to think about how they GOT to hogwarts in the first place, theres a prob a lot of uncomfortable shifting and working together to walk at a semi decent pace to this “mysterious” castle in the distance.

Also want to clarify i would set the beginning portion during the summer when theres no students LMFAO

I think the first chapter would also be written in mcgonagall’s pov too. I like the idea of exploring jayvik, at least in the first chapter, through a new set of eyes. She won’t have the same prejudices and contexts like the people in runeterra to judge them by. To her knowledge these are just two…strangely naked men at hogwarts doorstep. LMAO

I also need to figure out if i want this to be a oneshot or something longer. Bc i could work with a oneshot but the concept im already starting to build is definitely giving longer, complex story. Idk i gotta figure this out.
