#I REALLY HOPE SO 🤣

[whydoeseveryonehavetobelesbian]

i don't know if you guys have been keeping up with the women's world cup but this past sunday spain won against england. and you would think this would be the best moment of their careers and their lives but you wanna know what happened?

the spanish football federation's president non-consensually kissed one of the players, jenni hermoso, on the mouth when they were celebrating. this grown ass man took it upon himself to ruin the celebration for ALL the women who just achieved the thing they have been preparing for all their lives, literally the peak of a football player's career, they did it and he by himself ruined it.

and i say all the women because the other players, along 58 currently inactive and ex-players, stood up for jenni hermoso and have refused to play for the team until luis rubiales publicly apologizes and renounces his spot. now the rfef says they'll take legal action against the players and jenni for lying and because they have an obligation to play for the team.

do you remember how the men's world cup celebrations went? i do, im from argentina. no one said anything to any of the players, they were treated like kings for months and they are worshipped to this day. and rightfully so! they earned it i guess. but we do see the discrepancy?

how is it that we allow as a society for one man to sexually assault a woman right after achieving the thing another group of men got ceaselessly venerated for not even a year later? what do women have to do to earn respect? win the world cup? become the pride and joy of their country?

tease tidbit tuesday

it's Tuesday somewhere so starting it off early lol

after 7x09 I had like 4 new ideas (plus maaaany more non-episode related ideas, istg lately there's so many, I don't know what to focus on lol my brain feels loud, and I feel like I'm writing a hundred things at once, I've been a chaotic mess this month istg) but for now im trying to focus on this one fic, and trying to finish whatever this is before the next episode

for now, here's a bit of bucktommy at the medal ceremony after the encounter with gerrard

___

He could punch Gerrard in the face. He really wants to, and if it was a couple years ago, he probably would – but he’s at a work event, the guy is a Captain, unfortunately, and Buck just got a medal, he’s not risking his job right now. He’s not the same impulsive kid he was seven years ago. He’s heard enough stories from Chimney and Hen, and recently some vague ones from Tommy, to know that he hates their old Cap. Tommy seems to want to open up to Buck, to let Buck truly know him, but talking about that past, about himself back then, about the whole environment is not easy, and Buck gets that. They have time to get to know each other, neither of them is going anywhere. Buck’s certainly not planning to, and when Tommy says he isn’t, either, Buck finds himself trusting him, which is very new but so exciting.

“It’s- well, it was to be expected.” Tommy shrugs, his face a careful, neutral mask that Buck’s just starting to learn to see past, then sits down when they approach the table, putting his plate down – they’re sharing it with Eddie, Marisol and Christopher, but the three of them are still at the buffet getting food. Buck takes a seat next to him, then scoots his chair closer – close enough that their knees touch, but far enough that they still appear professional. “It just threw me off. Actually, threw me twenty years back for a moment.” he huffs an unamused, bitter laugh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @mimatostuff 💙

No chapter today. We'll die of starvation.

I think I might have had a bit of a revalation this fine morning.

Last night, @horizonproblems and I attended this truly amazing talk in a public lecture series on Star Trek that my uni is hosting this term. (It was all about the Third Age of Star Trek and some very valid, nuanced perspectives on hope and optimism and writing utopias under neoliberal capitalism and it was just... amazing. But that's not the point right now XD)

Afterwards, we chatted with the presenter about "Trekademia" (I love that concept so much!). I mentioned I'd seen the call for papers/talks for this lecture series that went out over a year ago (I was working for the English dept. at the time), but I never applied, because the only remotely Trekademic writing I'd ever done was my in-universe essay on holo-sentience and holographic food "The Cake is a Lie". And he asked me to send him a link, even though I never managed to finish writing and it's essentially missing the most interesting section.

But I took the opportunity to reread what I have posted and then look through my WIPs and I realized something: One of the reasons I think I was never able to finish writing the findings section of this "paper" is because I had So Many Ideas that I wanted to weave in. So many little moments with the holos, so many character facets and worldbuilding snippets. And it doesn't work with the extremely academic tone I'm going for.

And after sleeping on it, it occurred to me: I can still post all the outtakes that don't make it into the actual paper! I can keep the tone and focus of that essay and cut out any extraneous bits that don't work in that fram -- and then post a separate work that's like... the researchers field notes or something, where I put aaaalll the little details that didn't make the cut of the official writing!

It will be in bullet points and disconnected and self-indulgent as all heck -- but I'm sure there will be at least a handful of people out there apart from me who would still enjoy that particular take on various holo-headcanons. And even if I'd only be writing it for me, that would still be allowed!

So, no promises that anything might happen, but I just wanted to put it out there as a reminder to myself, if nothing else. Being deeply attached to your ideas and self-indulgent bits of writing is allowed! And even if you need to cut them from the concrete story you're trying to tell because they hurt the pacing or structure or tone, that doesn't mean you have to completely abandon them. There are always ways to share your outtakes and additional notes, on AO3 or tumblr or Discord or whatever, and you're always allowed to share them. Even if nobody but yourself will get a kick out of them, you're still allowed!

(And chances are, somebody else will be interested in reading your rambling thoughts and delighted to find them, actually.)

Presenting: The Great KinnPorsche Fashion Showdown (nobody asked for)

A few weeks ago, I made a poll about the best dressed KinnPorsche character. Tankhun won that one, followed by Vegas and Tay. Legitimate results - but the tags had some really interesting arguments for a bunch of different contenders. So why don't we take a closer look? Why don't we go through all the characters and their outfits one by one, choose the best one for each of them and repeat the initial poll at the end?

Sooo...that's exactly what we're doing right now.

*For the characters with more than 10 outfits - like Kim here - I'm going to make multiple polls and put the best voted ones into a final one

Tankhun - Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | FINAL CONTENDERS (CLOSED) - WINNER: THE CAPE 🎉🎉🎉

Vegas - Part 1 (CLOSED) | Part 2 (CLOSED) | Part 3 (CLOSED) | FINAL CONTENDERS (RED VELVET SHIRT*TM vs. THE WITCHY SHIRT*TM vs. GREEN SATIN SHIRT) - (closes March 28th!!!!!)

Kim - Part 1 (closes March 26th) | FINAL CONTENDERS coming March 30th

You can find the links to all the polls (as I gradually post them) HERE (pinned on my profile).

LET'S GET VOTING! 🎉

"oh really?" / "yes, really." / "lying doesn't suit you, sweetheart." + jacob/mercy?

Mercedes frowned at the closed bedroom door and turned on her side, trying her best to fall back to sleep after Jacob had woken her up with a hushed "good morning" before crawling out of bed and getting dressed quickly without muttering even a word. Just as she felt herself drifting off, she heard him reenter the room, but the expected dip of the mattress never followed. "You're lurking in the corner as a sleep paralysis demon now?", she remarked after sneaking a glance his way and finding him standing at the footboard with his arm crossed and an unreadable expression on his face. "Get dressed.", his tone carried the same impatient note it did anytime he dealt with his men, "I will be waiting outside." "What for?", she called out at his retreating form, letting out a curse when the front door slammed shut behind him, "Yes, I'd love a coffee first, thanks for asking." She threw on a dress and shoved her feet into her boots, her mood only soaring further at the chilly morning air when she left the cabin. Jacob was waiting for her in the driveway, blue eyes running over her body, "That would be a first.", he grumbled under his breath, taking off towards the woods that surrounded the property. "Wait up.", Mercedes tried her best to keep up with his long strides, "You know, I like it better when I wake up with you between-" "No distractions." "Did you completely snap on me?", she couldn't help the humor that slipped into her question when he came to a stop in front of what she could only describe as newly set shooting targets. "No.", came as reply, and he unholstered his pistol, "Come on." She shook her head, gesturing at his extended hand, a lie rolling off her tongue easily, "I'm actually not a fan of weapons." "Remember what you told me yesterday?", he didn't wait for her answer, "You want to run around my region unsupervised, sweetheart? I gotta know you can at least protect yourself." "So you took that as an invitation to wake me up at crack of dawn… then march me into the woods without a word so I can shoot at targets?" Jacob smirked, "You forgot the part where you put on a dress for it." "Sure, I did."

Her eyeroll didn't seem to discourage him from his mission as he began explaining to her the basics before he extended the pistol to her. "I said-" "We're at war, Mercedes." Refresh my memory… whose fault is it, again? She grabbed the gun from him reluctantly, but on the inside, she was relishing in its familiarity as he positioned himself behind her. "Breathe. Focus on the target. Then, pull the trigger.", Mercedes set her sights on one of the easiest targets, and the shot landed exactly where she intended it to. Far, far away from the center. Baby steps. "Excellent. Again.", he muttered, making her bite back a laugh at the praise and the fact her performance was far from that. She took three more shots, their sound echoing in the quiet forest. "Now for the next shot, actually try, Mercedes.", Jacob chirped as his hands landed on her waist, and he shifted closer. "Wow. Rude much? I was trying the whole time.", she let hurt mix with the annoyance in her voice. "Oh, really?", fingers pushed her hair aside to expose her neck before his mouth moved to it. "Yes, really. Why did you even praise me, then?" A kiss. His lips traveled upwards until they reached her ear, "Lying doesn't suit you, sweetheart." If you only knew how ironic this is… "I don't know what you mean." "You could continue to act dumb or actually show me what you're made of…" Her annoyance was real then, mostly at his arrogant demeanor and the fact he was seeing through her act, "You're an awful teacher, you know? If this is some strange way of motivating me… it's failing." "Hit the center this time.", there was no hint of doubt in his words as his fingers squeezed her waist at the same moment she pulled the trigger. Bull's eye. When her hands lowered, he pried the pistol from her grip and returned it to its holster before his eyes settled on her face. The curiosity swimming in their depths wasn't something she was excited to see. "What?", she asked innocently, rubbing her hands over her upper arms in attempts to warm up, already wishing she was back inside and snuggled in bed instead of playing soldier, "Are we done? Can I go back to sleep now?" Jacob stripped off his overshirt and threw it over her shoulders, "We're only just beginning, sweetheart. How about we move on to the part where you tell me where you learned to shoot, and maybe I will let you know what gave you away." Well, that should be fun.
