For the Rest of Our Afterlives
When Edwin turned to look at Charles, the other was already looking at him, a smile playing on his lips.
Edwin furrowed his brow.
"What?" he questioned, shifting in his desk chair, sitting up a little straighter. But Charles just smiled wider in response, scooching from his usual spot on the edge of the desk so he was closer to Edwin.
Edwin swallowed as Charles leaned in, that ridiculous, gorgeous smile getting closer to him. Edwin bit his lip, trying to hide his own smile that was growing to match.
"Stop that," he mumbled.
Charles had one hand resting on the opposite side of the desk from where he was sitting, supporting himself as he was now leaned so far into Edwin's space their faces were only inches apart. Charles only raised an expectant eyebrow in response to Edwin's weak, non-committal protest, fully aware of the way Edwin so easily melted under that gaze of his. Fully aware of how convincing his smile truly was.
"I cannot stand you," Edwin claimed, even as he leaned in as well, letting his smile show. Charles let out a laugh, and the last thing Edwin saw was Charles smug look before he gave in, closing his eyes as he pressed their lips together. He could feel the way Charles was smiling against his mouth, struggling to maintain the kiss. Still, as it always was, it was perfect to Edwin.
"Can't stand me, then?" Charles teased when they separated again, using his free hand to brush some strands of hair off Edwin's forehead.
When the two of them pulled apart, Charles smug look had been replaced with something so much softer, fonder. It was a look Edwin knew would have had his heart beating out of his chest were he still alive. One he still couldn't quite believe was directed at him- couldn't believe that Charles was giving him. Yet here they were, sat in the office of their detective agency, and Charles Rowland, his dearest friend and most important person in the world to him, was looking at him with more love in his eyes than Edwin could ever know what to do with. Instead, he simply leaned forward again, stealing another short, sweet kiss from his partner's lips.
"Correct," Edwin claimed through another kiss, smiling as Charles bumped their noses together.
"See, I'm thinking something different, yeah?"
The smug look was coming back, but Edwin couldn't bring himself to be bothered by it, resting his hand on the arm Charles had supporting himself, playing with the bracelets on his wrist and relishing in the way Charles shivered at the feeling of Edwin's fingertips lightly tracing over his skin.
"And what would that be, Detective Rowland?"
Charles turned his hand over, clasping his with Edwin's as he sat straight up again to prevent himself from falling over. Perhaps instinctually, Edwin rolled his chair ever so slightly to follow Charles' movement, staying right in the other boy's orbit.
"I think," Charles began with a smirk, raising Edwin's hand to press a kiss to his knuckles, "that you like me."
Edwin pursed his lips in effort to hide his smile. "Now I have no idea where you may have ever gotten an impression like that."
"Yeah?" Charles asked smugly.
Edwin hummed, "Truly. Can't stand the sight of you. Leave now, before I. . ."
Whatever he'd planned to end his sentence with- some empty threat that probably would have had Charles laughing- was lost to the universe as Charles kissed his knuckles again, his palms cradling Edwin's hand so gently, so reverently. He touched and looked at Edwin as though there was nothing more important in the world.
"Before what?" Charles prompted, his voice low and sweet as he hold Edwin's hand to him, tucking their joint palms against his chest, right where his heart would've beat.
"Before I. . ." Edwin sighed out, an end to his threat still lost somewhere, escaping him. Truly, only Charles Rowland could make him lose his words, his every thought. Edwin stood from his chair, moving closer as Charles instinctively shifted his legs to allow Edwin to step into the space between them.
"Before I fall in love with you, and remain that way for the course of the rest of our afterlives - for forever."
The joy that shone on Charles' face was unmatchable. It seeped from his skin, bones, and very soul, filling the room around them and engulfing Edwin. He'd do anything to keep that look on Charles forever.
"Bit late for that, innit?" Charles inquired softly, still playing along with their little game. "I seem to remember something about some stairs."
Edwin huffed out a laugh.
"Right. Well, then, I suppose it is already too late. You have bewitched me body and soul."
Charles had always, for as long as they'd known each other, loved listening to Edwin read to him. Nearly anything they could get their hands on. Jane Austen had always been a favorite of Charles, though he knows the boy would never admit it. Recently, Niko had shown them the films based off of her works - Charles had loved those just as much.
"And I love, I love, I love you," Charles finished happily, and Edwin gave a pleased hum.
"I love you, my dear Charles. . . Even when you do distract me from my work."
A laugh burst from Charles as he gave a squeeze to Edwin's hand.
"Pretty sure looking into the magical properties and medicinal effects of. . . whatever plant it was can wait."
"Crystal wanted-"
"Crystal was asking an open question just out of curiosity. You're the one turning it into a research project."
Edwin frowned for a moment, looking down at the books on his desk.
"Hey," Charles interrupted any thoughts jumping to his mind, squeezing his hand again."I'm not saying don't do it. It's properly sweet of you and she'll appreciate it. I'm just saying, maybe Crystal doesn't need an answer today, yeah?"
Edwin hummed, "I do suppose you're right."
Charles let out a pleased sound, "I usually am, mate."
Edwin didn't bother even responding to that.
"Now come on. I wanna lay on the sofa and love you for the course of the rest of our afterlives."
Edwin let out a laugh, allowing himself to be pulled away from his desk and towards the little sofa in their office. Charles truly was right - when he had the love of his afterlife looking at him like that, everything else could wait.

People honestly need to break up with me when they realize they can’t put in effort into a relationship with me anymore. Or communicate things they used to do that they’re not doing anymore. Or maybe how they don’t believe I’m X heath condition instead of playing stupid-ass semantics games (besides, if that’s really how hard you “believe” me - then it’s just unacceptable).
#polyamory#relationship affirmations#heartbreak posting#heartbreak#they didn’t think/feel I was X but believed I was#and then went ahead to not tell their other partner#then went ahead and kept trying to get their best friend pregnant and quite possibly lied to tell her and not told her about me#then went ahead and made out with someone from my friend community with no prior or even post informing me of that#then went ahead and got mad at me when their partner guessed my X health condition#then went ahead and completely closed off their relationship with their partner upon their partner’s request and expected me to just be okay#then went ahead and had the fucking audacity to tell me that they were doing more labor in the relationship#then went ahead and told me all this ableist bullshit about how I don’t do enough when I’m literally losing sleep and sanity#I’m falling behind at work and in life because I’ve been so sick#what absolute bullshit#I don’t even care if a partner dates the entire fucking city but the keeping of information is what hurts the most#THAT HURTS AND NOT REALLY SUPPORTING ME THROUGH A POTENTIALLY LIFE CHANGING EVENT THAT AFFECTS THEM AND THEIR PARTNER#I hate everything

Yeah, it was a strange one the way it played out. To be honest, the more I've spoken to some of the parties involved and the more has kind of emerged, the less clear it's got actually how it's been handled, which I'd like to say is unusual in Formula One. Maybe it's not because people don't always act in F1 with their true intentions upfront. But I think the way you described it as [Daniel] processing it in real time and learning it at the same time as us, I think it's pretty much how it happened. The key thing was that Ricciardo was aware that something was going on. He's not immune to speculation. He tries not to engage with it too much, but obviously either he or the people around him are feeding him the main things. He knew that there was a deadline approaching for a decision, which primarily he thought was all about 2025. The main thing that changed was going into the Singapore weekend, the speculation had intensified that it could be about right now, a change right now. But when they went into the Singapore weekend, I know there's been a few reports and claims and counter claims around this, Helmut Marko, for example, has said that Riccardo did know because Lawson had known for two weeks already. But I don't think that's true. Bear in mind, Marko has been saying at various points this year that it could be Ricciardo's last race … I was on the phone to someone close to Riccardo last week and he joked that 'we've been sacked since April, so this hasn't really come out of the blue', that's what they've been dealing with. But I think what happened was that Ricciardo took control of the narrative over the course of the Singapore weekend. As far as I can understand, the best I can make out, nobody told Riccardo explicitly, this is your last race, we will be replacing you after this. He knew that there was a very, very good chance, probably 99% chance he was losing his drive for Lawson for the following year. And then there started to be more and more noise about it being a change for now. But he had been told during the summer break that he was good for the rest of the season, basically. So I think he was reacting to the speculation. Nobody gave him an absolutely explicit, this is 100% done and we are going to confirm that Lawson's in and you're out. So Riccardo went into the Singapore weekend saying everything he said on the Thursday, which was, you know, I wouldn't bet my house on being here at the end of the year, but that's what I expect. As far as he was aware, it was all about 25, nothing else, blah, blah, blah. But then through the weekend, you saw that change. You know, he was kind of as you said, processing it, the speculation was more intense than ever. Some of the broadcast, like the Sky Sports F1 stuff was very much laying it on thick that they understood this was his last race, etc etc. And I think Riccardo just rolled with that and just went right, Red Bull aren't going to do anything here, they're not actually going to make this official. I need to act like this is my last race weekend because I think this is going to be my last race weekend. And if I don't do it, no one's going to do it for me, which is a really sad way for it to have played out, but it just speaks to how confusing this whole mess has been.

#you know what I do love to shit on The Race but I have to give them props - they have continuously repeated that Daniel absolutely did#not know anything Thurs/Fri and that his demeanour and attitude changed throughout the weekend#they also are the only media outlet I've seen call out Marko/Horner/Red Bull's bullshit PR spiel about Daniel being told weeks ago#so kudos to them for being the only outlet even attempting real critical thinking journalism that isn't just taking Red Bull at their word#daniel ricciardo#dr3#singapore gp 2024

This is such a terrible take.
I'm a huge fan of the series 1899, a show that was canceled last year after an eight episode first season that ended on an incredibly intense cliffhanger. If the showrunners for 1899 had attempted to tell the intended three season run in those eight episodes, or only tell a "closed story" set in the world they created, it would've been a bad show overall. There was literally no way it could be told in a sort of "well we resolved the plot in one season" way without sacrificing artistic integrity. This is something that's true of many serialized mystery box dramas, or any story with an overarching multi season narrative.
Furthermore the problem is not that writers are telling serialized stories that require multiple seasons. Why should these creatives be forced to tell stories in a format that for all intents and purposes won't work for every kind of show just to appease their corporate overlords and make "fans" happy? How does that lead to the creation of good television in certain genres, specifically in the modern serialized drama series?
I as a viewer don't want my needs catered to in that the shit I watch has a neat little bow on it at the end of every season, especially when it comes to serialized drama shows that will have stories that need multiple seasons to tell. I want artists and writers to be able to tell the stories the way they need to be told, and if an executive cancels a show I love because it doesn't break records in the first week or it's badly marketed or whatever, I am not going to express displeasure with the showrunners for telling a story that doesn't wrap up neatly after one season. That's blaming the wrong person, and as a fan I don't feel entitled to the writers ruining their story just because I want to know what happens to a certain character or how a cliffhanger resolves itself. This post reeks of entitlement in saying that your needs as a viewer outrank the needs of the writer for telling an actually good story. I don't care about corporate greed being able to be made to work for me, the viewer. I care about the artists who are having these stories they create ripped away from them, and I'm not going to ask them to change how they write for my sake.
People are up in arms about 'The Acolyte' season 2 being cancelled and I can't help but feel that, with this current trend of the TV industry immediately cutting their perceived losses and deleting every show that doesn't become top viewing within its first season, the only positive step forward that writers and showrunners can take is to kill the franchise mindset in its sleep. No more end-of-season cliffhangers, no more loose threads to be tied up, no more slow burn multi-season planned setups for the narrative. We tell enclosed self-contained one-season stories now. Beginning, middle and end with a satisfying conclusion for all the characters within one season. There's no confidence that you'll ever get a chance to tell any more. So, find a way to tell it all now. Similar story with 'Andor' being originally supposed to go for five seasons, but when the writers realised that wasn't going to work, rather than blowing up the budget and pushing forward until it fell apart, they actively decided to just tell the story in two seasons and then end it on their own terms.
When a show is based on a book series, you'll sometimes see these benefits too, if 'one book' equals 'one season', given those individual books have there own self-contained conclusion that carries over. This is also why anthology shows have been so effective. You get the nostalgia of coming back to an old show, alongside the intrigue and excitement of starting a new story. The best of both worlds. And if an individual season is more poorly received than others, it doesn't matter as much when you start again from zero next season.
One season stories. That's the only answer. Then, if a show does well and gets green-lit for a second season, you get to tell a whole new story that follows on the natural progression of the same characters, but again, it ends with all the new questions answered and everything wrapped up at the end of the season. That's how you make this blunt corporate oversight, at least function in a somewhat fulfilling way for the audiences and fandoms.

In light of how grossly disrespectful and dismissive some (not all) DC voters have been, here is something for a lovely lady who deserved better. [X]
#cheez rambles#cheez design#warrior cats#bumble dotc#bumble wc#vote bumble#bumblesweep#// I thank DC voters who have still acknowledged Bumble's injustice and have remained respectful towards her.#// this is in no way to slander Alex. What happened to her was disgusting and horrible. Voting for her is absolutely understandable.#// but extend the same courtesy to Bumble- yeah?#// Maybe dont fucking disregard heinous misogynistic writing as ''just cats so it doesn't matter''#// something ironic with how disgustingly closed-minded you're acting in a MISOGYNY POLL?? fucking reflect on yourself#// learn some media literacy and read the opponent's propaganda before dropping the most willfully ignorant bullshit statements- mkay??

im honestly really loving how much the taz abnimals episodes feel like a cartoon show. like so much of the pacing, tropes, humor, are so true to kids action cartoons, which makes it extremely fucking funny to me when the pcs come in with the absolute clownshoes energy they possess and barely manage to stumble their way through typical action cartoon shenanigans
#taz abnimals#not to be one of those ppl who compares all the arcs to balance#but it genuinely does remind me a lot of that energy in that theyre absolutely succeeding at what theyre doing#but theyre also doing it in the least coordinated conceivable way#also god justins bullshit horrible bluff tactics r back in full swing how i have missed them#yet another justin pc who takes every possible opportunity to lie and either succeeds flawlessly#or just fucking steals a security officers badge and runs

Listen. Smartypants Society? Fuck yeah. I'm going to come clean and admit that I am one of those people that kind of enjoys public speaking/ presentations, and in turn loves seeing people who are Good At Public Speaking/Presentations and enjoy it do their thing. Tricks of timing and emphatic delivery and precise rhetoric and structured argument construction all delivered with charisma dialed up to x100000% is just. 👌
Like, you can make anything sound legit with the right tricks, and in theory I find it SO enjoyable seeing it happen!!! Unfortunately in the context of the Real World this is often seen in contexts that tend to range from Impressive but Sobering or just Literally The Most Frustrating Shit because hey you're talking awful hurtful absolute bullshit but saying it The Right Way, Im Going To Lose it.
So. Therefore........ Smartypants Society generates a deep joy in my soul. Deeply talented speakers/comedians with phenomenal stage presence and quick wit, to use their command over delivery and rhetoric and comedic timing to dissect and break down the most nonsensical things ever? Meticulous argument construction and empassioned delivery about absolute, ridiculous, zero stakes bullshit?? Fuck yeah. Its like seeing someone with expert culinary training and a professionally equipped kitchen make the most 3AM drunk food meal with intentional precision. Tell me why vegetables arent real. Break down who's invited to the cookout. What IS the happiest birthday. Make me believe you. :')
#i love people being really good at what they do. and i love well articulated arguments on absolute low stakes bullshit. <3#dropout#smartypants society#dropout tv#not cr#:]#spar speaks#some excellent clips and screenshots available#realizing i never finished my post about it but i love adventuring academy contested roll for the same reason#.........ok fine i lied. i dont kind of like presentations. i rlly like em.

I'm hoping to participate in Art Fight more this year than last year allowed me, and I added Allessandro over there...only to realize I didn't have a colored ref for him! It's been a year since I last drew him so I figured: no better time than now to give him a new fullbody pic!
Fun update: after a month spent searching for his mentor and ending up in Barovia because of it, Saverio finally 'heard' from him a couple sessions ago...only for the message to be vague, short and offer no real answers. Needless to say: Allessandro is still full of mysteries and Saverio is pretty irked at essentially being ghosted by his not-father figure.
(You can find me on AF here!)
#lucky art#curse of strahd#dungeons and dragons#dnd#dnd5e#dnd oc#I think I'm getting stronger with my old man game too so I'm glad I can do him more justice#Allessandro Belmonte#His title is absolute bullshit Saverio made it up for him#Man's bg is a mystery so what's better than making a really cool heroic backstory and title for the man you revere? Nothing!#Sav loves telling people his story only to reveal when asked if it's true 'demmed if I know I made the whole thing up :{3 Great wasn't it?'

AROUND (time): 30 minute window before and 30 after. BEFORE (time): the specified time is the absolute cutoff, bordering on late, so arrive somewhere in the hour before. AT (time): be punctual and be there or be square at the time. BY (time): something STARTS at the time specified and arriving at the exact time does not count as late. This is my take. I am not taking criticism at this time.
no dude bc I think you lowkey nailed it
#EDIT: JUST BC I ANSWERED THIS ONE DOESN'T MEAN I WANT A FLOOD OF ASKS ABT THIS i just think this queen was onto something#since it can't be improved on i don't need other definitions of on time for various phrasings of timed plans#At and By sound kind of the same but i think i'm seeing the divide. kind of. maybe#like By would be good to arrive early but At has absolutely no benefit to showing up w 30min to spare bc you'll just be waiting#I think is what the vibe is#but your Around is just as forgiving as my Around and i'm glad for that bc what the hell is this 10 min before 10 min after bullshit!!#do you have any idea how short 10 mins is!!#it could take 10 minutes to literally find my good bra...#sergle answers
