Here's What Happened After Coffee Today!
The Two Normans Here’s what happened to Norm Wolff (the northern one), after our weekly coffee today. But before I get to that, some of you may wonder why I include “the northern one” when I refer to him, and Norm Colon (the southern one) lives in Bellingham, WA. I made the distinction because I didn’t want to confuse Spanky, who just likes to annoy me with questions. I wonder how many times…

One Day at a Time.
One Day at a Time.
Who knows how much time I may have left to live. A week, a month, a year, two years, it’s all the same to me because after I’m dead, I won’t be around to regret or celebrate anything that happened to me while I was alive, including dying. I had my last chemo treatment on September 15th. That’s it as far as chemo goes for me. On the 16th I had to go to the ER to reverse the damage to my body…

always found this little parallel between how scott speaks about buddy cole vs danny husk fascinating:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(top quote is from this 2017 vulture interview, bottom quote is from paul myers' 2018 book "one dumb guy")
'he's smarter than me. braver than me. he's better than me'' vs ''danny may not be the smartest or the bravest but he's a very decent man''
Tumblr media Tumblr media
#on its own this is a cool (probably unintentional) echo of how scott talks about two of his biggest characters#but of course being the buddy-cole-documentary person and the only person who's mentioned scott's ptsdiva podcast to him upon first meeting#(true fact he hadn't heard anyone mention that podcast since it finished releasing and that was a big part of my first impression)#i'm so excited to hopefully dig into the deeper implications of this#bc throughout scott's career he's used buddy as a way to process his thoughts on a variety of topics and to speak his mind#BUT. after he recovered from his cancer. he didn't immediately launch another buddy cole side project like he did so many times#(and i mean MANY times that's why i have a whole goddamn timeline for buddy cole side projects)#no. after he recovered from cancer he wrote the *danny husk* graphic novel#and there's also an interview from around that time (i can't find it rn but i know i have it bookmarked) where he low key blames buddy cole#for how he's always been typecast as the gay-best-friend. which while buddy cole is proudly a stereotype#he's still the exact opposite of that trope bc he has agency. and that's why scott made so many buddy cole side projects#while he was paying the bills with gay-best-friend roles in the late 90s#so what was it in this case that made him go ''actually i don't want to write from the perspective of someone who's better than me''#and embrace a bit of danny husk energy?#i haven't read his danny husk graphic novel yet but i do have some theories#but idk actively theorizing on here (especially as someone who is friends with scott) feels a bit too far so i'm gonna leave it at this#a cool parallel. an interesting timeline pattern. an indication of one of the questions from my next interview#i would say ''i wonder if anyone else has noticed this'' but come on jess you're the only one who would have seen both these things

so me and my friend are onto season 4 of X-files now and we got to the csm-centric episode, right. and when he put the sniper rifle up from the window at the start I was like "whoa there. jfk assassination much?"-- and then the flashback starts and wouldn't you fucking know it, csm was the one who killed jfk??
this made me joke about how "what is he, the dark version of forrest gump or something? lmao" (ie. being present at a bunch of historical happenings), and then it seems like I was right because after that, he killed martin luther king too... aND TH E N towards the end, they make a fuckin forrest gump reference???
guys I think I'm finally becoming psychic
#x-files#anyway good season so far#'the field where I died' was another good one#this ep was fun too ngl cause I'm afraid I love to hate this guy#I love how it shows how /weak/ csm actually is#seems like he just gets swept up in shit all 'okay I guess I'm doing this now (hashtag powertrip)'#dude has all the agency over a bunch of others but he has no agency over himself#he couldn't even resist the peer pressure to start smoking. bruh#and he couldn't even follow through with it when he tried to /stop/ smoking either#and then when he thought he was gonna get a big break as an author and was like 'fuck yeah I'll resign from the evil job now'#..but then the editors changed the ending when publishing it so he was like 'nvm. fuck everything. violent path it is then'#that whole thing reminded me so much of john in Saw X too when he thought he'd been cured-#-so he threw away the trap-sketches he was making. guy was gonna straight up quit being jigsaw bc he thought he would get to live after all#wait a sec.... john has cancer and is a villain... csm is called 'cancerman' and is also a villain........ [connecting dots in my mind rn]#but yeah um-- back to what I was saying- this ep somehow made csm a bit less infuriating for me?#cause now we got to see that actually he doesn't have everything under control. in fact it's like he barely has a will of his own#bro has zero conviction. barely any willpower. no life. if he fails at something once- that's it. he'll quit trying forever#he's literally a loser. we love to see it#(also wtf I didn't think deep throat would be the one who argued FOR killing that alien while csm was the one who questioned it?)#(but deep throat SAID to mulder later that he regretted the things he'd done an d he helped the good guys in the end so....)#(deep throat had his redemption arc. love that guy....except for when he killed the alien. that wasn't cool)

ok interlude 1. everyone loves interlude 1. fun things happening in interlude 1 i.e. meeting danny hebert and meeting scion also.
you guys remember seeing that one tumblr post thats like. [in response to experiment where bees read a fake bee on a stick as a real bee] stupid bees. falling for a fake bee on a stick being a real bee. and then someone else is like. i bet eldritch beings are like that about us. stupid humans. falling for fake humans on a stick being real humans. you guys know that post? anyway that's what this interlude makes me think of.
“The golden man would reappear several more times in the coming months and years. At some point, he donned clothing. At first, a sheet worn over one shoulder and pinned at either side of the waist, then more conventional clothes. In 1999, he donned the white bodysuit he still wears today. For more than a decade, we have wondered, where did our golden man get these things? Who was he in contact with?
^ stupid humans. mistaking a fake human on a stick for a real human. i love the horror of this interlude in retrospect. people assuming he's miraculously curing cancer as the world's most heroic original parahuman when he's actually the nigh-incomprehensible alien that's the cause of the pandemic and was healing the cancerous person because they were a host for a parasitic part of the alien's own body that had been implanted in them.
“His pace increased, perhaps because he was still learning what he could do, perhaps because he was getting a greater sense of where he was needed. By the middle of the 1990s, he was traveling from crisis to crisis, flying faster than the speed of sound. In fifteen years, he has not rested.
this seeming to everyone else like him intentionally increasing the effectiveness of his heroics when he's just. life on a scale one cannot comprehend experiencing a mental health crisis It cannot comprehend. and oblivious to the fact that the coping mechanism he's trying is not fucking working.
“Just five years after Scion’s first appearance, the superheroes emerged from the cover of rumor and secrecy to show themselves to the public.  Though the villains followed soon after, it was the heroes who shattered any illusions of the parahumans being divine figures.  In 1989, attempting to quell a riot over a basketball game in Michigan, the superhero known to the public as Vikare stepped in, only to be clubbed over the head.  He died not long after of a brain embolism.  Later, he would be revealed to be Andrew Hawke. “The golden age of the parahumans was thus short lived.  They were not the deific figures they had appeared to be.  Parahumans were, after all, people with powers, and people are flawed at their core.  Government agencies took a firmer hand, and state-”
i love the implication that because scion was so obviously. Not Fucking Normal. people assumed the first parahumans to show themselves were also on some level deific or Above humanity. and eventually people did realize. oh these are just regular guys but with powers. leaving the mystery of why scion is Like That just kind of up in the air. you think that's ever uncomfortable for people? like it's normal, it's default, but if anyone ever thinks about it too hard while they're bored....it's weird, man.
anyway onto mr daniel hebert. i think it's really notable that his introduction is him watching tv about parahumans, then shutting it off and getting up to pace with this line being given:
It was three fifteen in the morning, and his daughter Taylor was not in her bedroom.
but then despite how this is Immediately preceded by a talk about how actually, capes are just normal guys, there's a conspicuously absent lack of danny...connecting that thought to taylor being out late. and, like, i explicitly do not think this is a flaw of danny at this point--there's no reason anyone would leap to assuming THEIR teenage family member that is just a normal person is secretly a cape bc they were out late once. but the juxtaposition btwn the tv program abt capes and his "huh. anyways" reaction is very much There and i think you can 100% view it as a start to a pattern of behavior he'll have where all common sense should lead him to taylor being a cape (just fucking. out adn about thriving post-leviathan randomly knowing shit about the s9 out there living an obvious double-life!) but he's just Completely Not Even Thinking About It. which is the same thing as the shit he does in this first interlude:
Danny thought about clearing his throat to let her know he was awake and available should she knock on his door, but decided against it. He was being cowardly, he thought, as if his clearing of his throat would give reality to his fears.
He was stopped by the smell of jam and toast. She had made a late night snack. It filled him with relief. He couldn’t imagine his daughter, after being mugged, tormented or humiliated, coming home to have toast with jam as a snack. Taylor was okay, or at least, okay enough to be left alone.
he keeps getting up in his own head where hes like. oh nooo i know shes being bullied but i cant do anything about it yelling at the school didnt work and i cant move her to arcadia. while being completely emotionally disengaged from taylor and also somehow managing to convince himself that they have some sort of trust/understanding from him Not Acknowledging It At All so its basically fine. he Genuinely believes that clearing his throat would magically inform her that hes awake and available if she wants to ask for help (as opposed to giving her a heart attack over being caught??) but can't even do that because he doesn't want to actually take the problems from like. a hypothetical he gets mad about in his head into a real life material thing hes supposed to support her thru. if he doesn't see it it can't hurt him. he's processing everything thru "well i guess shes okay enough to be left alone" while just wildly oblivious to the amount of pain shes in and he has genuinely convinced himself that he's doing the best thing of giving her the Dignity of suffering alone or whatever. convinced he's available to talk to and expecting her to come talk to him and increasingly mad she's not but not actually very obviously available to talk to. and it eventually boils over into taking away her autonomy to attempt Forcing her into talking! he has no conception of anything that isnt sitting there expecting her to do the work of emotional connection or going "you will emotionally connect with me. now. or else." this is just kind of a ramble because this will not be fun for me if i cleanly edit every single post into a masterpiece but im enjoying poasting my thoughts on a second go around hopefully theres something coherent i can crystallize

Hi same anon from earlier! I can see what you mean about Bakugou. Maybe it’s like emotional cheating with him? Like, he tries to rationalize it in his head that because there’s nothing physical going on it’s not really cheating?
Consider: Midoriya as the homewrecker instead 👀 knows he’s being terrible and he should stop this but being loved and wanted is sooooo nice and it’s not even his fault, right? He’s not the one in a relationship. He’s a Cancer and they loveeeee love (no shade I’m a Cancer too lmao).
Also not to get angsty but like Shouto would never cheat because he’s got a prime example of a fucked up relationship and he’d never want to be like that at all. He’s also probably the most ruthless when cheated on since he completely cuts contact cold turkey and doesn’t hear any apologies, explanations, or begging for forgiveness 🥶
Hello! Hello!
I think I’m biased when it comes to Bakugo bc I’ve written him in an awkward emotionally cheating/sexually confused situation before. I do think he’s more emotionally driven than physically driven though - I think he KNOWS it’s wrong, but also emotions are complication at the best of times and it’s also something you don’t really have any agency in? If that makes sense. He definitely doesn’t go looking for anyone new if he’s in a relationship, but is there a potential situation where he meets someone and, shit happens, develops feelings? Yes. I think that’s possible. I do think he’s very upfront and clear once the situation establishes itself tho - there’s very much no sneaking about or anything.
I agree with what you’re saying about Midoriya! He can’t say no. It feels like some kind of fucked up twist of fate that the one person he wants is already taken… Especially, if it’s by a hero he considers to be better than him. There’s a horrible little part of him that likes it? Being chosen first, being wanted - Like you said!
I feel like Shouto can go two ways. He’s either exactly like you say - and I do 100% agree that he’s a no contact kind of break person. He doesn’t care. Cuts the emotion dead. It kills him to do it, but slipping back into the apathetic emotions of his childhood is easy and feels like second nature. OR, I think the lines are blurred for him. He doesn’t quite know where the boundaries are, let’s people get a bit too close etc.

never again thoughts...
first of all, the airing order controversy: at the end of the day I really don’t think it matters that much. I can understand as an actor gillian being pissed about it bc it would definitely have had an influence on how she played it if it were the other way originally, but weirdly, I think it actually comes across equally as well both ways. as scully says in the final scene, it’s about her life, not the fear of death, and it makes sense that she would be contemplating her choices whether or not she suspected she had cancer, especially in the context of episodes like herrenvolk and tunguska/terma where she and mulder very much were going in circles. I do think her impulsive actions (though not necessarily the thought behind them) make a bit more sense if she’s worried about possibly having cancer, but I can also see them simply as a way to get back at mulder lol. the only issue with the original order I think is that her exasperation in leonard betts makes more sense as a build up to never again instead of as a result of it, and brings the tension between her and mulder up to a climatic boiling point in memento mori instead of a gradual cooling off.
I also think (as a mulder defender) that on rewatch he’s not nearly as bad in this episode as I remember, or as fandom makes him out to be. sure, he’s definitely an asshole to scully in the final scene, but he is (rightfully or not) angry with her and definitely jealous. he’s also not great in the opening scene but it’s more of not really being aware of and attentive to scully’s feelings rather than outright malice towards her, and his vulnerability of “you don’t want it to be?” says sooo much, especially since he later calls scully from graceland just to check in and bc he wanted to share it with her 🥺 he’s already internalizing her words and trying to be better at not only thinking about her in the context of the x files.
I also know morgan and wong frequently love to use episode titles in their scripts, even if it sometimes feels heavy handed (such as in home), and it’s interesting to think about that in the context of scully’s character arc. she starts off the episode saying to mulder that she almost wishes that they were going in circles- instead it feels like an endless line of one step forward two steps back. but her conversation with ed jerse in the bar is about fathers and cycles, and of course she gets the ouroboros tattoo. in contrast, ed gets his tattoo to symbolize moving on with his life while acknowledging that he feels like he never really can. which is better, an endless straight line, or a never ending circle? and what it mean in the larger context of the x files’ themes of fate vs. free will? scully returning to her office in the final scene may be seen by some as a lack of agency, still caught up in the ouroboros, but her final conversation with mulder makes it clear (at least in my opinion) that she has ultimately reaffirmed her choice to be there. she may be stuck in the circle, but she’s made her choice to be, and mulder, for better or for worse, is stuck in there with her.

Mother is mothering! This is exciting
comfort character - Gerri Kellman (slay) / Fleabag
extrovert vs introvert - introvert
biggest turn on - listening (like showing that they remembered what you told them) but like, also making out really hot with some groping and pulling your hips together (🫦)
biggest turn off - guys who call other women bitches
zodiac sign (for funsies ofc) - cancer ♋️🥲
omg our first submission at the munny matchmaker agency!!!
ok so I'm pairing mafia!eddie and I'll tell you why:
mafia!eddie wants someone who is independent (bc he's gone a lot with work) but also teeters that line of clingy bc he himself is clingy. he would prefer someone introverted bc if you're out all the time like not that he's worried about what you would do, but more so what someone might do to you he just prefers someone who'd rather be lowkey. baby, he's gonna adore you endlessly. he's sharp as fuck and he remembers everything. you looked at something? he remembered and went back and got it. oh that was your favorite childhood movie? guess what we're having a movie night. very much so "well you said you liked/didn't like that" and it's just little things. even when he's a little mean and can be rough, he'd never degrade you. it's why he's more of a daddy!dom, like he'll smack you around a little but he can't bring himself to call you anything more than a bad girl and even then he feels kinda guilty after. also I hc that mafia!eddie is a scorpio and scorpio and cancers have high compatibility <3

Oh btw I saw a banner ad on the side of a bus the other day and I didn’t see what organization paid for this ad bc the bus was going too fast but it said something very close to “THE PLACENTA ISN’T SOME MAGICAL BOOZE BLOCKER” and presumably it was a PSA about not drinking when one is pregnant.
And like
Listen my sister has an advanced degree in public health
And I have listened to her talk about outreach a lot even though that is not currently what she is doing with her degree, like that’s definitely something she studied and stuff
And I don’t. Feel like! Being as smug and condescending as possible! Is the best way to get the biggest number of people to listen to you and heed your advice.
And I DO kinda feel like my sister has talked about liiiiike being compassionate, and meeting people where they’re at, and like, not making them feel bad!
And I just really REALLY feel like, if your aim is to reach people who have somehow not been taught that alcohol use during pregnancy affects the fetus, then like, just say that. Clearly they have been severely lacking in access to good information about sexual and reproductive health if they don’t know that and there’s no point in shaming them for not knowing something because no one taught them that, or because they were fed misinformation!
Overall I am just disgruntled with the disgruntlement of knowing that my sister could have thought of better copy for a banner ad than THAT SHIT in like 30 seconds. Possibly less.
And it does also make me think of like, sometimes you see billboards or commercials about quitting smoking that just don’t seem to be very persuasive, and you’re like “What government agency OK’ed this?”, and then you find out that the “organization” that’s sponsoring all these ads is actually a tobacco company who got in trouble for selling cancer sticks and had to do a bunch of half-assed “stop smoking” ads in penance. And that’s why they’re not good, because the people making them don’t actually care and actually sort of hope you DON’T stop smoking.
So, I’m gonna try to glimpse one of these buses again (unlikely) and try to see who sponsored it, because I sort of highly suspect that copy wasn’t actually written by public health professionals who are actually motivated to protect people. I think it was probably written by a marketing team working for an alcohol company that recently got in trouble, and I’d love to know who.

A Note From Santa
A Note From Santa
Yes, I know that many stores are already displaying their Christmas merchandise, which will no doubt prompt children to begin thinking about ol’ Saint Nick. Well, this old Saint got a note from one of those children this morning, and it almost broke my heart. It was from a girl Santa Danny used to visit each year on the last Sunday before Christmas. Her name is Wendy, and her family had a…

cool my dads cat we rehomed when he died just passed too. 5 weeks after dad. :(
we knew he was sick he was very thin and it seemed to coincide with dads cancer. the foster parents said the vet cleared him...they didnt know he had stomach tumors...so he was dehydrated and not getting nutrients. but i had hope.
so today i found out at work and went home early.
yesterday sucked too.
lots of bad news in general.
hard to believe agency or good things will ever really happen and im definitely feeling suicidal and fucked up right now bc every week more shit happens and its been that way for years and uh
idk.
im just
shocked
and sad.
im glad he didnt die when dad was hospitalized or while dad was dying bc...he could have.

saw a post that was supposed to be like "wow finally cutting through the privilege discourse to address trans misandry" and idk it basically just boiled down to "we shouldn't just tell dudes from our minority to sit down and shut up" which is like, I really don't think is a common position anywhere in trans circles? Like no one's ever told me not to talk about my life and being a trans guy? No one's ever said that I can't experience oppression? I also just think the post centres "privilege framework" way too much. Maybe I'm just onna nother level but I've never seen privilege as anything other than basically a rhetorical device that aids in de-centring normative positions as the default affective/subjective standpoint.
And like, I don't really like the examples of racialized men's oppression as somehow proving that trans dudes can also have worse outcomes like it just seems insanely insanely gross to even make that leap bc I actually can't think of an example of oppression of trans guys specifically that only happens to trans guys other than just being treated like passive non-actors, which is OBVIOUSLY bad and I've literally never heard anyone say otherwise. Like everything else (health care discrimination (like, you guys know trans women have to go to urologists and get discriminated against for breast cancer and stuff right like it's not like "women's care" is the only sex specific health needs), sexual assault (position of being perceived as feminine and vulnerable bc of trans status, this dynamic also makes trans women targets for assault), etc.
Like black and brown guys get killed for being perceived as men (active subjects), combined with being non-white (any number of dangerous white supremacist assumptions). Given white supremacy comes from the globe wide campaign of the colonization, enslavement and and genocide of the world's global majority it seems kind of crazy to use that massive overarching culture and politics framework to point to outcomes for our less than 1% population that exists and is responded to as basically an aberrant blip in the dominant sex-gender binary.
Like genuinely I think all disparities between trans masculinity and trans feminity come out to basically 2 things, which are our perceived agencies, and our perceived "sexedness" (will explain). When we experience transphobia differently and are not just experiencing the blanket transphobia which is like "you are an aberration why are you like this we hate you", it's either the "trans women are nefarious, active agents in their transition while trans men are passive, following dupes" mirroring bioessentialist and sexist assumptions made against many marginalized groups's genders, or it comes from a similar vein of agency projection, just through a lens of the sexuality of our bodies: "trans men are basically neutered, possessing neither feminine breasts nor masculine penis, trans women are doubly sexed having both." And through this lens, transmisogyny becomes clear why it's a term of analysis that we use, and why transmisandry is just.... Not helpful? Refers to little? It basically could only even encompass our inversion of the trans woman as the nafarious, oversexed, sexually dangerous that the world placed on us under oppositional sexism. We are much more antagonized when viewed as trans people than as trans men imo.
