I don't want to be at work I want to be home writing some silly little words.

[leverage-ot3]

silly episode idea but hear me out

okay well the first part isn’t silly! so the episode is based around a con they are doing where a polyam triad wants to get married and have been writing to senators and stuff for years but nothing has happened. maybe there is a time element that leeway has to happen soon (not sure what that would be yet, maybe someone is sick???)

(obviously polycules aren’t only and are often more than just a closed three-person system, but I’m saying triad right now bc I feel like that would be an easier and more ‘socially acceptable’ gateway into more accepting legislation for diverse relationship dynamics)

the leverage crew, of course, can’t outright change the public perception of poly marriage, but they can use the ‘enemy’s’ tactics against them and slip stuff into legislation without people noticing like they do. it’s slimy and it’s not a permanent fix, but it’s a start, and it gives people the opportunity to see poly marriage in action and that it isn’t as terrifying or pearl-clutching-inducing as they think it would be. there’s a long way to go, but the seeds of change have been sown and they will make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible

this is one of the cases that they will monitor on the back burner over time. some cons can finish within a few hours (the bottle job), and some things they will follow over time and make adjustments when needed- amplify voices and expose corrupt politicians etc

and then it’s just after 3/4 of the way through but the con has been finished? what is going on? this is where the silliness comes in

the camera turns to the ot3 and…

hardison, pulling out three individualized rings: I know it’s not legal yet, and we have the necklaces, but I think rings would be a nice touch

eliot, pulling out an intricately carved box that also has three self-handcrafted rings: dammit hardison (with feeling and tenderness, and damp eyes)

parker, pulling out three very stolen rings from her pocket: does this mean we’re getting triple married if we all have three rings???

harry pops into the conversation (practically vibrating) excitedly just casually mentioning that he’s a notary and would be honored to marry them to each other if they wanted to

(they do)

wait, did I say silly? I meant unwaveringly tender and heartwarming

Fanfiction has ruined some of y’all’s brains so badly. Gaiman said to expect 3 seasons of Good Omens. That’s how much content he has planned for the show - meaning there’s a definite end he’s looking towards.

What did you really think s2 was going to be? The two of them running around and then being at the Ritz just like s1? That’s not an interesting show, it’s just fan service fluff. (Which is obviously fun and all but not something you should base 3 seasons of TV show on)

Gaiman told you what has to happen for Crowley and Aziraphale to be together in the show: Aziraphale has to heal from his past ‘relationship’ to be in a healthy one with Crowley. What Nina says about her and Maggie is not just a character talking to fill up run time, it’s the show saying something too.

TL;DR: Aziraphale is in a toxic relationship with heaven and needs to get out of that mindset before he can be with Crowley. It’s natural story progression and some of y’all have fanfic brainrot where everything must be instantly gratifying.

i did in fact buy some silk yarn to try for shawl 2, but it won't be here for several weeks and that is simply too much time to spend not making a shawl. i may cast on an interim one and i do have some yarn already that would be a good candidate, but while i'm thinking about it i've started a hat.

people always talk about the "soon you will understand" Kojima hissy-fit in response to being called out 'cos Quiet's got barely any clothes on, but BY FAR his funniest response to criticism of his games was when (and I can't remember the exact wording of the tweet) Death Stranding came out to really mixed reviews, like some people were praising it as a masterpiece, then other people were going "wtf?? u just walk around and deliver packages??"

and he said something along the lines of "i was a fool to expect the average american to enjoy a game about walking" 😭😭😭

man I want to just post shit so bad but alas ,,, rendering ,,,,

[coolcoelacanth]

can you imagine being with someone for 20+ years then they just leave you for a younger woman/person they've been cheating on you with? god you hear about it so often, men are scum truly

[thatbanditqueen]

when does elvis realize he doesn’t feel the need or want another woman around? that would be such a change for him.

So, I'm gonna say that from here on out, EP does not enjoy sex with other women in this fic.... but I am going to level with you. I cannot picture a time when he does not do something stupid.... like at the very least being alone with other women or flirting.... we'll see.... he had a lot of romantic notions and ideals so i think there were times he wished he had been monogamous and let's channel that impulse...

The thing is, however, that if Elvis is touring, its not just a matter of being in love or even intending not to cheat.... he is immersed in a whole culture where EVERYONE is fucking around ... not just him.... like the way people go crazy at football games or tswift concerts.... the ritual and atmosphere gives people permission to behave in ways they would never in their normal day to day life.... For elvis, womanizing was expected of him and his ego tells him that is what he is supposed to be doing... in fact, his whole public persona was construed as sex rebel... and this moment in the 1970s in elvis' life is very much about navigating his desire to still be perceived that way alongside the inconceivable depression and emptiness that this sort of short sighted instant gratification gave him ... every external force in his life worked against having a stable, long term relationship..... oh baby....

Ok, enough musing about Elvis, love, monogamy.... for the purpose of this fantasy I am weaving ......

Off the cuff I am gonna say that by chapter 7 or 8 he is forced to reckon with the fact that if he wants to be with Becky, he has to do it on her terms.... I don't see him doing this perfectly.... but he is so smitten he'll will concede that he wants he more than he wants the other women he is seeing or random snatch....

I say 7 or 8 now.....then again, i thought this trip to Graceland would be one chapter and I'm at 10K words and not even at day two....

(Vent post; a bit of a downer, nothing too intense, just some self pity.)

(…Maybe don’t read if you don’t want to have a mental awakening about how sad simping really is.)

i have no social life

i have ONE friend that i consider a sibling

they have a job and friends outside of school

and the deeper i hyperfixate the more i realize how lonely i am. like wtf

i feel like i’ve betrayed myself

they’re here gushing about their real life crush and how they’re going on a date and quitting their job to work somewhere else

while i’m over here emerging from my little hermit shell gushing about people that don’t exist with bags under my eyes from staying up til 2 AM every night watching YouTube or scrolling tumblr

don’t get me wrong, i love tumblr so much, but when interacting with/making posts is the most social interaction i’ve had in weeks, i think there might be a problem

then after all of this self-reflection my ADD makes it hard to retain the attention span to improve my nonexistent social life

and the rest of my brain cells go “hyperfixation fun” and “characters pretty” and “tumblr funny”

fucking instant gratification monkey fr
