#Slow Renewal

[emily84]

but why isn't tumblr eating up Kaos netflix?

it's got everything! canon old man yaoi, a lot of trans representation, including a trans man as one of the main characters who is complex, desirable, and gets the girl at the end (uh, sorta, but, no spoilers), a succession-level of drama with a fucked up family that needs to be toppled, greek mythology, amazons, the three Fates as trans entities, the Furies as biker lesbians, a WHOLE spectrum of various sexualities and genders as well as great poc representation, a whole spectrum of disabilities, whimsical creatures and frightening, power hungry women... what are ya waiting for?

Any of you who feel bad about having overdue materials, just know that I, Library Enthusiast Nerdass Blog Runner, just realized i have accidentally kept the first two Dungeon Meshi books hostage for a week.

the sum of its parts.

Season Two gotta be at least 16 episodes.

At least the first 8 of them gotta be a slow burn build of Oshamir pining.

Sorry I don’t make the rules 🤷🏼‍♀️

You think you’ve got it all figured out and then a pair of pretty brown eyes walk in

speaking as someone who has moved house way too many times and finds the process of house hunting to be genuinely traumatic (not to mention stressful as hell) i would like to make a positivity post for NOT currently house hunting. if you are not, right now, looking for somewhere to live, just take a moment to appreciate that. no rightmove trawling, no phoning letting agents, no dropping everything to hare across to a viewing for a mediocre house that you won't get even if you call them immediately because they've already had five applicants, no financial referencing, no constant stress that if this last one doesn't work out then you're going to have to rent a storage unit for your furniture and crash on someone's floor, etc. so relaxing

How to break a fandom’s heart with one picture:

WE'RE OVER 50,000 NOW LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

“It all starts with the transition to clean energy, now approaching full speed with 87 countries drawing at least 5% of their electricity from wind and solar. The US hit 5% in 2011 and surged past 20% renewable electricity last year. If the country follows the trend set by others at the leading edge, wind and solar will account for half of US power-generating capacity just 10 years from now. That would be years—or even decades—earlier than major forecasts.

[...] Successful technologies follow an S-shaped adoption curve. Sales move at a crawl in the early-adopter phase, then surprisingly quickly once things go mainstream. The top of the curve represents the last people to make the transition. Even in 2022, a tenth of humanity still doesn't have electricity.

Five percent isn't a universal tipping point. Some technologies flip sooner, others later, but the basic idea is the same: Once the tough investments in manufacturing have been made and consumer preferences start to shift, the first wave of adoption sets the conditions to go much bigger."

I was thinking about tagging Jonathan Stroud here on tumblr, to tell him, that the next short story should be about Locklyle's first kiss, to put us all out of our misery.

But I chickened out.

Lockwood and Lucy have the best slowburn romance I've ever read. They're the reason I exist. The ending of The Empty Grave shattered my very soul. It kills me every day that we'll never see this beautiful story on the screen, especially a conclusion that goes beyond the implied but open ending of the last book. But I'm forever grateful to the books. I would still rather have that then some of the other love stories I read which deal with undeveloped characters who rush into the romance aspect of it and are in bed by page 5. I'm sorry, I don't know what this turned into but I've been thinking about them today and thought I'd share.

2019 tdp fandom: "I love rayllum, but I just feel like it was so rushed. I wish it would have been more of a slow burn.

2022 tdp fandom: "Ugh. Why does rayllum getting back together have to be a slow burn? I just want them to get back together already!!!"

WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!

[egotenebrisper]

To say that Wednesday is the best series of the year with the amount of queerbait it had in the promotion, while there is Warrior Nun with a whole awesome production and a canon protagonist sapphic couple in a wonderful slow burn......

At least questionable.

And to see a queer person says that is truly disappointing.

Ways that Lucius and Black Pete's relationship continues running parallel to and being one step ahead of Ed and Stede's:

Does anyone else wonder what it might have been like if the captains had been able to escape for a few days and fuck like rabbits, like Pete and Lucius got up to between episodes 5 and 6?

Like they're going slow, and that's great that they were able to communicate about it, but what of they had slept together the night of The Kiss 2.0? Where they were still a ways out from the external forces that intruded on everything to make a perfect storm with the ways each of them is broken? And maybe they could have had just a fucking second to be together and themselves?

(For the record I'm not saying anyone should have gone against their instincts that night, this is just a thought experiment.)

The catalyst for their first time could have just been desire for each other, or the chance to communicate their need to reconnect with each other, without a cloud of violence and death hanging over it.

They could have built up a stronger foundation of that warm and fuzzy "honeymoon phase", which they never seem to get time for, something that could have been healing for them both and would have given them much more time to practice talking with each other and learning their way around intimacy.

There would have been space for them to reestablish the kind of casual affection they had for each other in season 1 (Ed's constant touching, not to mention that Stede's love language is quality time), only now they'd be able to explore that with intent and the awareness that their feelings were mutual.

And most useful of all, it could have been an escape from the pressures of captaincy and the constant reminders of the life Ed was trying to leave behind, whether their time was spent on land or at sea, because just having a little time and space to be close to each other could have shored up their bonds with each other in really important ways.

Obviously we wouldn't have a show if that could have happened. Obviously Pete and Lucius don't have the captaincy responsibilities that would make it possible for Stede and Ed to take an extended break to connect and learn and love each other in the same way. But it's been nice to sit here and ask myself what it might have been like anyway.
