Like I knew my birth was traumatic and that she got sepsis (I think?) but the hysterectomy had her dropping something about technically dying when my brother was born which I had never heard before. Then she went on to have a third kid!
Beyond the lack of grandchildren (which to her credit she has never harassed me about) I think on some level part of my mom was waiting for me to have kids so she could process her own traumatic childbirth experiences and since I never did she’s sort of stuck with it unprocessed.

Give me a fanfiction trope and I’ll grade it:
A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.
B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.
C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.
D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.
F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.

Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games
Can you test for drift compatibility via improv comedy

theres a post i saw that i can't look too hard at because it has season 6 spoilers, but it did make me start thinking again about sons of anarchy vs peaky blinders re their relationships to authority, the government, the police state... in soa the Law (police, DEA, etc) was a real threat, yes, but in a lot of ways it also felt like just another gang samcro was up against. one that could enact serious consequences, absolutely, but one that could be corrupted, thwarted, beaten. its reach minimized, even halted; its punishments dulled or avoided altogether. the Law did not use samcro; samcro used the Law, on its own terms and for its own purposes. there was no ceiling for them, no highway barrier that could stop them. it's just blue sky and an open road.
the peaky blinders, i feel, often have the illusion of that kind of freedom. because they have such iron-wrought control over Birmingham, no small town like Charming but the second largest city in England, their power can feel unlimited. but then there are moments when the ceiling is revealed, and you glimpse the intractable wall of the government inexorably intertwined with the monarchy, the "steel sheet between classes." and you realize the upper class looks at the peaky blinders' birmingham kingdom as one may look at ants digging their little tunnels in an ant farm. there's no way to corrupt the upper class, the government, the police, the crown; they've already done that, and in far worse ways than tommy could ever imagine on his own. there's no way to beat them, or to live outside of their influence. there's just offering oneself to them in the hope that they will decide they like you enough, and need your services enough, to keep you around. and maybe, maybe you'll get to keep your life and your family. you have to get what you want your own way, and there's no point in reaching for legitimacy, because legitimacy itself is an illusion held up by people with more blood on their hands than anyone.
