#we got another one girls

[soup-mother]

i love seeing a friend or mutual have the "oh I'm probably not plural because I'm only like that when I'm distressed :)" repression, then going "huh i haven't heard anything about that in ages i wonder how they're doing" and there's several names in bio

Okay, on a not-so-depressing note, my fave regulars are this rad group of trans femmes and for a while they had someone in their friend group they introduced to me as "Straight Josh."

"He's our only cis-het friend!"

I'm like

Yeah okay

I even ask them, "Hey you ever wonder what it's like to be a girl?"

"Well I mean yeah."

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Get back to me.

Anyway.

Her name is Maddie.

GIRL WELCOME HOME

We got ANOTHER ONE................. ♥♥♥

After rewatching all 4 seasons of Slow Horses and immediately wanting to rewatch all of them again and reading Standish/Lamb fanfic hmm I def. found a new series to love 😌

Have you ever gotten everything you ever wanted?

No. But I once got very close.

I didn't get pics I didn't get pics my phone was in the bedroom charging but FANCY IS PLAYING WITH THEM. Not next TO them but INITIATING PLAY WITH THEM.

Not bitchily, not reluctantly, not with a short temper, not tolerating THEIR advances, but making her OWN advances! Inviting them in!!!!!! Even the detested Junie!

CRYINGGGGGG.

[lovetgr76]

We got ANOTHER ONE y'all!!!! ♥♥♥

Sorry for going complete radio silence. I did plan on posting more about Slow Horses but I have gone into a deep rabbit hole of reading espionage fiction and am currently going crazy planning and writing Standish/Lamb fanfic because there simply isn't enough of them on ao3. Watch out for some slow burn angsty stuff!

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

The ask I got yesterday about ~community~ and whatnot just made me think again about how special it is that we all have this space to share in something we all love, and create connections with each other and with this art that enrich our lives. Again, what a gift it is that Taylor has been able to put into words these experiences that touch people so deeply, and give us all a way to better understand each other and ourselves and in some ways give us the tools and space to learn how to support each other. Whether it’s identifying with struggles or sharing experiences or reveling in joy or even communing in events like concerts or meet-ups or simply making friends along the way, I can certainly say this time has enriched my life and I’m sure it has with many of us here.

I hope we can all continue to practice that kindness and empathy in this little community and beyond. ❤️

you know how in school they’d always make you (still make you) like choose random topics to give class presentations on while everyone politely clapped even though they didn’t really care about your powerpoint on fungi or whatever bc they’re too worried about getting their own over with. tumblr is like if every single person in the room was paying full attention and was absolutely stoked about it and gave you wild applause and wolf whistles at the end. you can just get on stage and talk about coelacanths and you become a celebrity for a few minutes. like on tumblr it’s on your own terms so it’s like oh snap education is actually supposed to be fun
