#but even though it's not perfect it's not horrible
Text
you know what Looking at blitzo and stolas “relationship” it makes me realize that Vivzepop writes relationships/couples in the most horrible and toxic ways possible yet she wants the fandom to believe they are a good couple even though they are not
examples
Lute and Adam
(I know they are not a official couple but it definitely feels like lute had romantic feelings for him)
That mf basically treats lute like shit calls her bitch/dumb bitch and literally being a misogynistic asshole at the final episode suddenly lute crying because Adam is dying like girl why are crying over someone who called you a bitch!?
then we have Millie and moxxie like yeah they are happily married and we seen be a good couple but why doesn’t Millie stop blitzo and loona from treating him like shit and don’t get me started on unhappy campers like wow moxxie you actually getting mad because a bunch of kids find her cool and giving Millie attention to the point y’all argue over it???
Charlie and vaggie is just…unseasoned yuri like no seriously those two are just the lesbian couple of Millie and moxxie like vaggie doesn’t barely have a character besides being Charlie girlfriend and that’s it hell she doesn’t even barely save her from getting her ass kicked by Adam then Charlie fucking dad had to catch her EVEN THOUGH VAGGIE HAD HER WINGS AND SHE COULD EASILY SAVE HER GIRLFRIEND
I know this is about to sound mean but Vivzepop needs to stop gaslighting her fans to think these unhealthy couples are perfect for each other

So, rockabye, baby
Tumblr media
Paring: Agent Whiskey x Female reader
Summary: You and Jack being happy and having 4 babies aka dear cowboy having the big happy family he deserved.
Word counting: 1.1k
Rating: General audiences
Warnings: Heart aching fluff, it's implied that reader is in her late 30s-early 40s.
A/N: First of all, we'll pretend we haven't saw anything in case I have made any mistakes while calculating the kids' ages, I'm horrible with any kind of math. Since the very moment I saw @mothandpidgeon's Mother's day challenge I knew I had to write something involving Jack and babies hahaha. Yes, this was named after the masterpiece "Rockabye" by Clean Bandit and Anne-Marie.
Divider from: @saradika-graphics
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Even before you got married, you knew you wanted at least one baby and the idea was completely encouraged by Jack. At the moment you saw yourself tucked on the bed with your small baby girl in your arms giggling while her father squeezed her chubby little cheeks, you knew that Katherine wouldn’t be a single child and, as you imagined, when your daughter was two and half once again you saw yourself smashing Jack’s hand while pushing your second baby. Oliver came to the world completely healthy and looked like his dad as much as Katherine, except for his eyes that definitely were yours.
On a random rainy evening, while you and Jack carefully moved the babies to their beds for a little nap, again you felt reality hitting on you fully, making you admit to yourself that maybe wouldn’t be that bad to have another little one around the house, but at that point, you weren’t sure if Jack would engage the idea, since you two haven’t established a specific number of kids you’d like to have. Being no surprise at all Jack emphatically agreed with another baby, already getting excited about it, even with Oliver being only 4 months old.
When Katherine was 6 and Oliver was 3, once again you and Jack were dealing with tummy aches and night shifts with your chubby newborn Amelia, a perfect copy of you with Jack’s eyes, she was the loudest of the babies, even though she was still pretty quiet for a newborn.
“We’re too good at making beautiful babies.” Jack said with a melted smile while observing you nestling Amelia in your arms as she started to fall asleep.
“I can’t disagree.” You chuckled and looked at him, smiling with his expression.
“We should make another one.” He mentioned while caressing Amelia’s tiny head,
“I don’t know. I getting old to this.” You admitted while looking back at your baby.
“It’s up to you, honey. If you want three more babies, fine, if you want to stop here, fine either.” Jack assured and leaned to kiss your forehead.
“We can go back to this matter when she’s a bit older.”
And it happened exactly like that.
At the moment Amelia was 3 and half years old, you and Jack talked about it once more, pondering all the possibilities and getting to an agreement: if you didn’t get pregnant until the end of the year, Jack would, at last, get a vasectomy and the two of you would be fine with your three babies if you ended up pregnant, he would get the sterilization either way and both of you would be more than happy with another little one on the house.
There was no pressure on the process, both of you knew that at your age fertility tended to start to decrease and were fine about it, what didn’t prevent you and Jack from having a lot of hopes, and it probably worked, because not even two complete months after the decision being made and once again you were running to Jack to tell him you were pregnant. Eight months later the little Barbara, an equal mix of you and Jack, was sleeping peacefully on her crib while her siblings watched in complete silence to no disturb her.
Tumblr media
You woke up that morning after realizing that Jack wasn’t in bed, which wasn’t such a rare event since he used to get up earlier than the chickens just to make sure he would have enough time to shave and groom his mustache before the day started. You still were lazy and slightly asleep, but you could hear the slight buzz near the bedroom door and Jack’s voice quietly saying something like “Y’all try to keep the turmoil under control, please.”. Right after that, you heard the door being opened and the steps of your four kids getting close, making you realize it was Mother’s Day morning.
Katherine, at the plenty of her 12 years was the first one to get tucked on the bed and hold you, right after her, your nine-year-old Oliver nestled against you either, Amelia found a space to make herself comfortable with all the morning energy of a six-year-old, and Barbara, after a couple of squeaked pleas for the help of her dad, got up on the bed too, moving the better her little 2 and a half-year-old body could.
“May I be informed on what y’all are involved?” you asked playfully, managing the best possible to cuddle all your babies “This includes you.” You said while looking at Jack lying next to you and the kids.
“Just making sure daddy will give us a moment alone with you for at least five minutes.” Katherine said promptly with that smug mocking tone that made her sound very much like Jack.
“Yeah, he don’t understand what’s space.” Oliver reaffirmed his sister’s statement as always since they made quite a great duo.
“Thank you very much for the consideration.” Jack retorted while doing his best to try to sound serious.
“It’s true, daddy. Y’need to leave more momma time for us.” Amelia cooperated with her siblings, making you smile with how thick her southern accent was at that early age, another thing besides her eyes that she got from Jack.
“Kathy, Kathy.” Barbara mumbled while nudging her sister, making Katherine turn her head to look.
“What’s the urgence, little Egyptian plague?” the baby laughed at her sister’s bored tone, Katherine loved Barbara more than anything and anyone and would fight everyone, including you and Jack to defend the baby, but her personality wouldn’t let her use friendly cute nicknames with the little one.
“Help.” Barbara said while stretching out her little arms, wanting a little hand to get closer to you since she couldn’t climb up her siblings.
“You’re a pain in the ass, hum?” Katherine rolled her eyes while grabbing Barbara and placing the little one between her and you “Now stop disturbing.” Katherine said in her usual bored tone when talking to Barbara and finished the phrase by kissing the baby’s head.
“Y’all have way too much of the personality of me and your father.” You concluded the obvious and laughed shaking your head.
“Something has to go wrong, right?” Jack joked while getting snuggled with you and the kids.
“He didn’t remain away for five minutes, did he?” Oliver asked as he saw his father joining the collective hug.
“Definitely not.” Amelia affirmed as if it was stupidly obvious, making all of you laugh.

I forget we were doing Bleach asks
Retsu and Rukia with a reader who is always perpetually tired no matter how much sleep they get or caffeine they take.
That's fine Anon, though I do hope to get some more soon. Also, I apologize for the shortness of Unohana's part, I tried to make it longer, but it kept feeling forced.
Now! Your Wish Is My Command!
Tumblr media
Rukia was deeply concerned by your sleep schedule.
Once, she found you face down on the floor in the captain's office, out like a light while Captain Kyouraku was kneeling over you, Nanao was looking at you with concern, and Captain Ukitake asked Shunsui.
“Is he dead?”
In response, Captain Ukitake got a “I don’t think so, not yet at least. I think.”
“Oh! Rukia! Perfect timing, we require your assistance on- OH BY THE SOUL KING!!!” Captain Ukitake shouted as you grabbed him by the leg, nearly giving the sickly man a heart attack.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After that, Rukia was told to keep an eye on you, and to make sure you didn’t scare anyone to death with your… predisposition to stop what you are doing, and lay down on the ground to take a nap.
To begin with, Rukia thought it was because of your work.
That proved to be false when she made you sleep for twenty four straight hours, you woke up, had more energy than usual for one whole minute.
During this minute you picked her up, laid down with her, and slept for another 24 hours.
This was extremely frustrating to Rukia, as that meant it was not your work as a soul reaper.
And so, for the next several months, Rukia set about trying to figure out what in the world was wrong with you.
She brought you to Captain Unohana, who could not heal your perpetual sleepiness away.
She brought you to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who nearly dissected you in a rage after every single test he ran and drug he tried produced absolutely no results.
She even got so desperate as to go to Kisuke who only gave her a free coupon for 100% of her next purchase at his store after every conceivable test he could think of was run and came up with nothing out of the ordinary.
During this time, she also got a horrible grilling from Yoruichi on just why she was so desperate to see you up and wide awake.
Rukia said it was because she had been told to look after you by Captain Ukitake.
Yoruichi seemed to have gotten a laugh out of this for some reason before saying that someone doesn’t go to Mayuri Kurotsuchi AND Kisuke Urahara unless the world was coming to an end, the head captain himself had sent direct orders, or someone was desperate to help someone important to them.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Yoruichi’s words continued to torture Rukia for months after the fact.
And now, through a comedy of errors, she stood before Shinigami’s Women's Association.
Briefly, she considered using her Zanpakuto to escape this predicament.
Then she remembered that not only was Sui-Feng in the room, one of the four people in the Seireitei or associated with it capable of rivaling Yoruichi Shihoin in speed, but so was the woman voted both the most attractive and scariest captain for as long as she had held office, Retsu Unohana.
Rukia was then forced to accept that she had to spill her guts.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Four hours later, she had been “Persuaded” to act on what she was feeling.
And by “Persuaded” Rukia means that she had been nearly throttled to death by her fellow club members until she conceded to act on what she was feeling.
Now, Rukia stood outside her room which after a while had become the room she shared with you.
She didn’t know when that happened, only that it did not bother her nearly as it probably should have.
But, there was only one thing for her to do.
Step through the door, and ask you a question.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
It was a very slow few days for the Shinigami Women’s Association.
Not a single peep from Rukia during the entire time.
No contact, no nothing.
Then, Nemu of all people made a report.
You and Rukia Kuchiki, kissing under a tree.
Tumblr media
Isane expected many things when she walked through her Captain’s door in the morning.
Her captain doing paperwork.
Her captain waiting for the reports to be delivered.
Her captain staring off into the middle distance as she “Reminisced” over her younger days.
What she didn’t expect was her captain sitting on the floor and running her hand through the hair of the sleeping soul reaper whose head was in her lap.
“Ah! Isane, perfect timing. Would you be so kind as to fetch me a clipboard from the cupboard over there?” Captain Unohana asked with a kind smile that did little to hide her amusement at the situation she was in.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Over the next few days, Isane noticed that Captain Unohana had taken a keen interest in you and your condition.
Or more accurately, you had been chosen as the captain’s new chew toy.
As it turns out, you were quite the listener, even while asleep and the fact you let her play around with your hair was a nice bonus for the Captain Of Squad 4 as she destressed from her day.
Not to mention, you always seemed to make others sleepy when you were around them which probably helped Unohana find her few relaxing moments all the more easier.
Though, that didn’t quite explain why she had such a… connection to you.
At least, until Isane was in the records hall one day, and she pulled out your record.
Now, imagine her surprise when she saw your last name.
“Unohana”.

Worm Arc 16 first part thoughts (through defeating Dragon and Defiant interlude) cause it seemed likely there is going to be something major happening in the rest of the arc and I might as well split it here:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
MY BABIES ARE FIGHTING!!!!!
I might not have made the best choice in adopting both Taylor and Dragon
Ok so it's not technically my babies fighting. It's Taylor fighting simple AI Dragon created. But close enough.
Drone robot fucked up a perfectly good barbecue. That's just criminal.
I love that the robot sent after Bitch was basically designed to get fucked up over and over. Work with what you have.
Also Bitch was so willing to listen to Skitter! Not just listen but "come up with a plan like you usually do, we’ll make it happen"! She fucking trusts her so much! GAAAAAAAYYYY!
You put Skitter in charge and she is just instantly "Ok we're going to attack the Wards, the Protectorate, the PRT, and some of Dragon's robots. All at the same time. Cause I always gotta go BIGGER!"
I will give her this though - solo teleporting into the middle of the Protectorate and Wards (except for Clockblocker) and having Trickster swap her around while she just FUCKED SHIT UP? That was badass.
And throwing herself out the fucking window? TWICE? I'm very glad Trickster was on point there cause I would have fucking murdered him if he dropped my daughter.
Piggot trying to be all high and mighty and superior. Fuck off lady. You just a cop. You're like, the worst cop. I already called you out for having a full blown villain internal monologue in your first interlude. Some of the PRT might be trying to do right. Maybe. But you are just evil.
I will give Piggot one thing. She is good at what she does. It's just that what she does is not "leading the Brockton Bay PRT and Wards to better take care of the people of the city", but instead "be a terrible and manipulative person who would absolutely set of a nuke if she thought it would kill enough capes".
Also Trickster don't be an asshole. Being disgusted when Piggot admits she's fat and doesn't sound ashamed about it. Fuck off with that. She's a terrible person, there are so many better things to attack than her appearance.
Like the fact that she upset Tattletale! She made Tattletale sad! FUCK PIGGOT I HATE HER FOR THAT ALONE NOW!
Sticking a bunch of glass in some doors and riding around town on them oh my god. These are like, the scariest super villains in town. And they are door surfing. I love it.
Azazel is fucking fancy! I'm sad it got melted down in the end.
Dragon just needed a guy badly cosplaying as a DS9 starship for a few minutes and then she builds infinitely better shit than he ever could. Cause she is awesome.
Ok so I know it was technically being run by an AI that Dragon built but I'm counting it as Dragon. For one reason.
Skitter asking Azazel stupid questions until it broke was just a little sister annoying their older sister with really stupid questions! She starts off with some somewhat reasonable ones and just gets wild with it. It was perfect. That is the type of fighting I can tolerate from my daughters.
I'm a little worried about Imp clearly crushing on Regent. He hasn't had the best moral character in the past.
Wasn't expecting them to just *have* the city after beating Dragon. Definitely wasn't expecting that to happen mid arc.
“She’s out of it. Tattletale broke Skitter when she said we won” - GAY. Look sure there's lots of reasons Skitter would be distracted after hearing that the city was theirs and they had won. But Tattletale said it and there's something about a girl you like telling you "we won" that can just stop brain from working. Besides I wasn't getting enough Chatterbug content this arc so I'll find it wherever I need it.
So coming into this arc I had been making lots of jokes about Monarch referencing Skitter vs Dragon (both were controlling lots of minions, want to control the city, they're siblings cause I adopted both of them so they fight for the crown, etc) but Dragon is out of the city for now. So I really should have been focusing on Coil vs Skitter. Which is what I expect the rest of the arc to be.
It'll be fine.
I'm sure there won't be any issues at city hall with her dad. Nope.
PRT squad interlude (Piggot interlude round 2) thoughts:
Nilbog is terrifying but god his power is wild.
I had Left 4 Dead in my head the entire time. First thing they killed was a boomer. There was a spitter later as well. And they got the swarm once they shot the flare up for the evac.
PRT is endlessly badly managed. Given the unknowns they could have been more careful and used a better strategy. If they have the resources to wall off the town they have the resources to have done things better.
There is no way Thomas Calvert isn't Coil (more specifically becomes Coil). There is NO way. It has to be him. I don't technically have any proof but I know. It's him. (The way he is described, the way he talks, just everything about him. I could write up an entire post just on why I'm 100% positive he is Coil.)
I already knew Piggot was a horrible person to be running the Brockton Bay PRT and the Wards so this interlude didn't really give new information there. But it does just lock that down on an extra level.
Frank Miller's Armsmaster interlude thoughts:
I'm very sad I had to have this interlude from his perspective instead of Dragon's perspective. But I'll live.
Sucks to be this small town.
PRT failure again. It was made clear that the police of this town in no way expected the SH9. But the PRT knew when SH9 left BB and had a loose idea of their potential travel speed. And they knew SH9's M.O. in this situation of staying to back roads and hitting small towns. So every police department in every small town within a certain distance of BB should have known to be on alert. Like ya they aren't going to be able to stop the Nine, but they might be able to reduce losses a little. PRT is just bad at it's job. (Almost like Alexandria doesn't have the right priorities.)
I KNEW DRAGON WAS A TRUE TINKER! I HAD ALREADY MADE IT MY HEADCANON THAT SHE TRIGGERED WHEN LEVIATHAN ATTACKED NEWFOUNDLAND AND I'M SO HAPPY IT'S REAL!
Plugging my ears when I Was Insecure So I Made My Stick Even Longer Man talks about playing "ten by ten" with my robot daughter. Look she can do what she wants, no shame, but I do not want to hear about it from him if I can avoid it.
Of course Dragon knows about Cauldron. I should have expected that she did. My daughter is brilliant (and also maybe doesn't have a concept of privacy so gets all the information she can without explicitly doing something illegal and goes has a little bit of a "Big Sister is watching you" vibe).

there are a lot of valid criticisms of tlok, but i never really understood people who hate the show because they thought aang was made out to be a terrible father and, therefore, a shitty person.
like, in atla, aang was a deeply traumatized small child who lost his entire culture in a genocide. it should have been no surprise that he would have sort of obsessed over preserving his culture through his one airbending child. sure, he wasn't perfect, and may not have gone about things in the best way, but i can't say that it made him a bad person.

year in review
2023 is on its way out, and it's been... a year. First full year that I've actually been active on social media (i.e. not just lurking), and first time in fandom.
My first fic of the year? when her edges soften – the longer I wrote for Valentine and the more her relationship with Johnny got weird and intimate and full of casual innuendo the more I needed to write something where they were reunited. Also my first ever experience writing smut and self-indulgently adding a whole fencing scene. Goddamn that was fun! Feels like it's older than a year.
My favorite fic of the year? thread-safe – I became engrossed with cyberpunk because of Jackie but I imprinted hard on Takemura after that traumatic heist mission and perhaps the rest is history. Valentine's story has had a lot of tinkering and reworking and it was the thing that got me back into writing, but the original story in my head was something bittersweet and angry and grieving, one night only no encores, parting badly– and I finally was able to capture that in thread-safe and it feels so good.
Most fun experiments?? There are several of these. When I got stuck and discouraged and tired of working on the longfic and plotting things out I ended up working out a "shenanigans au" (fleeting fits of reason) where I could put Johnny and Kerry and V (and Alt and Rogue it turns out) together and just have them interact without plot. Well the plot crept in, but writing some loosely connected 1-1.5k pieces focused on a single scene or idea with minimal polish was incredibly freeing. Then I recorded some of my own podfic! I wrote a chapter of thread-safe in second-person! I wrote imago and decided to incorporate pieces of it into my longfic. Playing around like this has really kept writing fun for me when I don't have the concentration to play the long game.
Additional musings and personal reflections under the cut:
2023 the year sucked ass. It has been god awful. Just the fucking worst! Cyberhanami was in February? March? I remember finishing up some of my prompts that week while I was in another state with friends who were out and about while I was in bed too nauseated and weak to move. Writing was the only thing keeping me from going insane. My health has been shoddy, I had to cancel a much anticipated two weeks of international travel, spent at least two week long periods this year with anxiety so intense it made me almost physically incapable of eating. I had an incredibly expensive panic attack, and the world... things have been better!
I find it difficult to be honest about that sort of thing– my primary instinct is Not To Talk About any of that shit, because well... it's personal! And I handle reassurance about as well as I handle compliments (awkwardly. half in panic. friendly self-deprecation). But it feels disingenuous to celebrate accomplishments without acknowledging the yawning abyss we all struggle with from time to time. I remain cynically optimistic, as always, and I'm seriously grateful for all the connections and shared art and braincells and excitable messages, especially from folks tolerating my tendency to ramble onto tangents and use an oddly formal tone. I don't know what I'm doing, but who does? It comes easier with practice. It has to, right?
See you cool cats in 2024. :3 😼

Just watched Paprika (2006) and holy SHIT that movie is a massive mindfuck but I love it
It took me a bit to understand everything, admittedly, but it's an extraordinary movie nonetheless
I'm looking forward to watching Perfect Blue next!

Skye did nothing wrong. They're all neck deep in a lot of emotions. Grief can messy even when it seems like the people are estranged.
#tsitp#the sunmer i turned pretty#skye had every right to say what they did#you have to understand that Skye sees Susannah though all the ways shes hurt their mother with her toxic positivity#like susannah not telling her kids shes dying so they could enjoy the summer would have been EXTREMELY traumatzing to them#even if they found out when she wanted them to#the recent episode proved that she has always just prefeded to sweep any and all emotions under the rug#which means she barely allowed her sister to grieve the death of their father with her#because Susannah decided itd be best for everyone to ignore it#Skye is likely watching their mother try to get rid of the house in an effort to move on from the past in a way she never got to#and that doesn't mean shes totally in the right but it doesnt mean shes evil#and skye had every right to point out that there were two sides here#Skye and their mother are probally having a very hard and conflicting time with the loss#i had a horrible relationship with my father and when he had a stroke i was a wreck because there were so many things that werent resolved#and they werent even my fault they were his#grief hits people like a truck#skye hasnt seen their cousins in a long time and its under such horrible circumstances#and they have taken every chance to shit on their mother#sure a lot of their points are right but there IS more to the story and it is okay that Skye got upset and pointed that out#neither of the sisters are perfect thats how people work#demirose glasses off#i wouldnt be surprised if we learn even more about how dysfunctional the family was when they were kids or other trauma#tsitp spoillers#the summer i turned pretty spoillers

lewis pepper big band palette. reasoning: the whole backstory thing, music themes, reed on the back could totally be colored to look like a deadbeat*, fun
either that or lewis annie bc itd look cool and sagan is right there. and also the whole "very-likely-curse-driven decision of one person irreparably changed who i am as a person and what i get to do with my existence and im bitter about it" thing. now that i think about it annie and lewis kinda have that same deal entirely in reverse huh
*is that what the ghost things that follow lewis around (are linked to/extensions of him?) are called or is that fanon i forget

what form of love do you embody
love as being known
Tumblr media
[ love is knowing all of someone and loving them anyway ] when tim kreider said "if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" and when joe wright said "The idea that these two people know each other, knew each other when they first saw each other. That they recognized each other from their future" and when micah nemerever said "it was a relief and a horror to be known so perfectly"

ballet au lol 🩰
YES THANK YOU ANON WOW
Derek is a dancer coming back from rehabbing a horrible injury (lower back?? fucked up his knee??) and has a chip on his shoulder because a) he totally has stage fright! b) has a reputation for being surly and overly intense. Pre-injury he was a rising star in the ballet company and had a lot more confidence but now he is a man humbled, quiet, relieved not to be in charge, but he also feels like he has a ton to prove! Especially since his mom and his older sister are famous dancers.
The ballet troupe is smallish and Stiles is in charge of logistics and MARKETING! Because he is a noted uncoordinated klutz. He's all about strategy and reviewing data and making things happen, and he is the absolutely bane of Derek's existence. He wants Derek in photoshoots, he sometimes coordinates with the artistic director (Lydia) on people's roles, Derek finds the way he talks about engaging customers manipulative, and tbh Stiles can be abrasive and annoying! So smart but so mean!
Derek has a recognizable everything face so once he has returned Stiles wants him to do an ad photoshoot so they can slap his picture on the side of a bus and this just makes Derek feels even more pressure. Resents Stiles for this and also because it's compromising Derek's anonymity. His only respite is teaching children's ballet classes, which is something he started doing while rehabbing his injury and also because the pay to be a ballet dancer isn't great at this small troupe!
Derek thinks once his career is over he would like to teach
But sometimes, when Derek is teaching these first graders, who do not care if he is weird and quiet, he notices Stiles watching. He thinks at first Stiles is going to want to use this for marketing but Stiles never says anything about it, just stays to watch Derek and the kids.
Then at some sort of holiday dance event Derek runs into his horrible ex, Kate Argent, who is a principal at a much larger and more prestigious company, and panics...only for Stiles to appear, wrap an arm around Derek like they're dating, and say "hey babe, who's this?"
#answered#ask meme#i do not know how ballet companies or marketing works. sorry to everyone who is like 'you are so wrong' sorry omg#teen wolf#sterek#LOOK i just think in this instance fake dating would be perfect#derek is so tongue tied and so grateful that he can't help himself melting into the arm hold and is like 'she was just leaving'#even though stiles surely knows about derek and kate's infamous and very public break up#it was a PR nightmare and stiles was an assistant at the time#so he can only be snubbing kate. and kate probably knows this. and derek does not know why stiles is rescuing him#and that night he goes home and he can't stop thinking about it. and that's when stiles goes from annoying to intriguing#meanwhile stiles had a hate attraction thing for derek since day 1 and then HORRIBLY he saw derek teaching first graders and CAUGHT FEELING#this is like a 40k fic i do not have time to write i already have 2 teen wolf wips help#also shout out to the les mis ballet/opera au that i think about daily#edit scott is also a rising ballet star and he and derek hate each other#the argents do run their own company maybe? the prestigious one? huge scandal when allison leaves it to join derek's troupe#the artistic director is thinking about making their nutcracker balanchine and derek supports this bc#he likes balanchine and he finds it classic and traditional#and stiles is like you're a fucking idiot. it's tired. it's boring. we need to do what PNWB did#we aren't a carbon copy of new york city ballet.#derek doesn't speak to him for weeks

my gay mike analysis is like a son to me. I know I sound like a conceited little idiot man and keep hyping it up and I PROMISE I’m trying to finish it as fast as possible but i love it and makes me emotional because
a.) Mike ily and people around you love you and oh my god you have so many internal issues I just want you to be happy
b.) look at me now!! went from thinking 2 years ago that I’d have to be straight/pretend to be straight forever, barely knowing a single thing about sexuality or gender, now having realized a lot of things about myself in those regards and using my skills to analyze those topics in-depth!! it makes me happy ok!!
#it’s weird because i grew up with a fair bit of internalized transphobia#partially because people around me seemed to treat people as dumb/inept as soon as they found out they were trans#and my intelligence was always tied to being the perfect functional straight a’s daughter tm#and I constantly had to argue with my fmaily about politics etc when they’re ere in their super far right era#and so I knew that if I came out as any form of queer#they would immediately stop taking me seriously and I wouldn’t be able to change their minds about the rightwing bs#and it took 3+ years of harsh fighting and just awfulness all around but I eventually got through to them#and kudos to them of course for being willing to change to an extent even though I’m still not out as a trans#bc I’m still wary of how it would go#but like. when I was in highschool our premier was waging a social war on lgbtq people as a whole#but specifically trans people and my parents got very pulled into it and I internalized a lot of it and felt as if#being trans/wanting to be a guy was tied to a horrible part of me and that I would be throwing away any intelligence I had and just so much#stupid shit plus knowing that I’d never be able to convince my parents to get away from the rightwing bs if they had even a hint of#me being any sort of queer so it’s like me being queer was always tied to being used to invalidate my intelligence#that’s what I’m trying to say in this ramble ^#but now here I am!! Using my brain to write about queer stuff#and not to sound conceited like I’m not the smartest person ever by any means I am#SO dumb in SO many areas seriously but it’s like. being queer doesn’t take away from#my ability to be smart yknow?? and that was something that was really embedded into me in addition to some other bs#my intelligence stopped existing the moment people realized I was queer like if my parents had known I was queer at the time#they would’ve used it to further the claim that I was delusional and naive and had no idea what I was talking about with politics#and that my ideas simply had less worth because of WHO I was#rather than the ideas themselves#so anyway I just. it’s so Nice to be using my brain To write about queer stuff yknow?????#me trying to convince my parents that trans people deserved human rights but they only listened to me BECAUSE they thought I was cis#and even then it took 3 years and a fuckton of other big factors
