you ever think about the intricacies of smoke & stack's dynamic and go fucking crazy?

their abusive father zeroing in on stack as the outlet for his beatings, smoke killing their daddy, half way done burying him by the time stack came to - smoke being the BIG BROTHER from the start, keeping stack safe - stack becoming who he is - bit reckless, full of charisma and whimsy because of smoke, in a way, shielding him from the world ("doesn't know how to watch his own back").

thinking of smoke saying how stack is the best thing about him, how stack talks a big game but how it's smoke who kills the snake, smoke who shoots two men for stealing out of his truck, smoke who pulls a gun on sammie and pearline. does he ever think he got more of their daddy in him than stack? where stack can connect with people in a way smoke can't quite follow. stack laying out clothes for him, doing his hair, rolling his cigarettes- giving smoke back some of what the war took.

but I also can't help but think that there is this slight ....almost paternalistic element at times - the way stack looks around for smoke when he's with mary, worried he'll be caught, worried he'll displease him and yet that thing he says when he's turned "don't let that witch come between us again" - there's no doubt that stack loves annie and is clearly DISTRAUGHT when smoke kills her but ...was there ever resentment? did he ever feel betrayed? was it ever only meant to be the two of them against the world?

"he was the best thing about me" "i ain't doing it without you there ain't no me without you" "sorry for not keeping you safe - you always did" the way stack is just that one person smoke can't kill, the way the only time he wavers in his resolve is when his vampire brother talks with him.

(this is borderline incoherent but I have a lot of thoughts)

The Covid tests are not picking up this strain right away, and you have to test numerous times. So if you are sick with a sore throat assume you have Covid.

I HATE MORAL OCD. well i shouldnt say hate thats a strong word. and i dont want to sound like i hate people WITH moral ocd because i dont of course. i just hate having it. but i shouldnt think that, i do like having morals, its just stressful to be thinking about them so constantly and scrutinizing every little thing i do or think. but really thats the least i could do so i should at least try, right? just because i suffer from— no, struggle with moral ocd doesn’t mean i should just stop thinking about things all together, thats not what im saying and i should make that clear, but i

"This fic is literally just porn, why do you care about the quality of the editing" unfortunately, both my brain and my dick have strong opinions about verb tenses.

Not everyone begins selling sex because of poverty or a lack of other viable financial options, but that's the driving factor for most of us. It is always bizarre to me when people act like my sex worker advocacy is a dismissal of abuse, because I almost never concern myself with discussing people who sell sex because they like the job. I leave it up to the sex workers who enjoy the work and have many other options to speak about their experiences for themselves - those stories are not mine. I started selling sex because I had no other way to afford food or shelter and I've continued because I don't have the means to provide for myself fully without it.

My advocacy for the full decriminalization of sex work and the destigmatization of it does not come from a place of glamorization or downplaying the abuses many of us suffer. I fight for these things because they are the most important for those of us who don't enjoy sex work and want to stop. The most vulnerable people are the most harmed under the Nordic Model or strict regulation or complete/partial criminalization. When you make our work more dangerous and difficult and lower paid, you trap us in it. By criminalizing clients and third parties, you make our earnings into proceeds of crime and allow banks to deny us.

Demands for workers' rights and respect aren't a denial abuse happens, they're something I want because abuse happens.

okay now that we’ve a had couple lesbian blockbusters and milfs are having a romance moment, we need to bring back the manic pixie dream girl. she was never fuckin suited to fixing all the problems of some boring twenty year old everyman, but you know who could actually benefit from a quirky free-spirited blue haired girl with pronouns (she/they)? a newly divorced forty-something mom who’s trying to learn how to be herself for the first time in her life
