"Human Kim's mate is dead?!" cries Calis.

"What?! Kim has a mate?!" cries Max

"She is your comrade! How did you not know she has-had a mate?!?"

"But what about Fenrir-wait is Fenrir dead???"

"Human Kim had her bonding band before courting Fenrir, I'm talking about her other mate."

"She's cheating?? Fenrir is the other man...orc???"

"Do humans not have multiple mates?"

"I mean...not usually no...but wait lets back up a minute. How do you know Kim's mate is dead and what do you mean by bonding band, do you mean a ring that goes on a finger?"

"I cannot believe you, her comrade of 5 years, have not noticed her longing rubbing her ankle. How she no longer has the bright orange band on her left ankle. How she looks at her communication device...phone? and looks at what I guess is a photo."

"...wait the orange band? Made out of fabric? Like string?"

"So you have noticed, why have you not consoled her then??"

"...hold on a sec. I'll be back in a moment."

"Are you getting her? Bring her to the command room then, we shall have something for her."

"....how many people think her mate is dead!?"

.

"Why are we going to the command room?"

"Just keep walking. I have a question for you but I need you to answer in front of a lot of people."

"Ookay?" the humans enter the command room and see it decorated dark and somber. Friends and close co-workers are there dressed in black or their respective mourning attire. Calis steps forward.

"Hu-Kim...Kim we are so very sorry for the loss of your mate...may they join the galaxy as a brilliant star and may you both reunite someday in the great beyond..." They slowly grab her five fingered hand with their four fingered hand.

"...If anything were to happen to Gala...I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. If there's anything you need, anything at all, just ask."

"...Calis...thank you so much...but I don't have a mate?"

"That's what I was saying!" exclaims Max. "If she did then she would've told me, her work best friend!!"

"...but the band on your ankle and your sadness?"

"...Kay I did not notice that but yeah what's up? You alright?" he turns to his short friend

"Ohhh, you mean my friendship anklet?"

"Friend-ship anklet? ...not a bonding band?"

"It was made by my best friend, no offense Max, on Earth the last time I saw her in person 'bout...almost 2 years ago? Anyways it finally fell off since its string and I just miss having it."

"None taken."

"So no one died? She's still alive?"

"Yeah, I just texted her yesterday about the anklet and she said she'll just tattoo one on me cause it'll ward off Max...no offense Max...she just can't accept that I have more than one best friend."

"Again none taken...wait is this the friend who hated you at first and you didn't know so you kept being friendly to her until eventually she accepted you and you've been best friends for like almost 10 years?"

"She...hated you?"

"Oh yeah, she thought I was really annoying but I'm pretty dense so I just kept being nice and going to eat lunch with her throughout high school until after like...2-3 months she gave up and accepted my friendship. Oh! and I didn't know any of this until like this year." she grins

"That's a beautiful friendship right there...makes me jealous about how boringly we met and bonded over anime and musicals."

"On most planets beings would maul you over your annoyance...would you like some of the cake we got you before we knew no one died?"

"Yes please! Also thank you everybody but sadly...and luckily no one died!!" she calls out to the dozen or so aliens and humans in the command room.

"...wait you thought I was having an affair with Fenrir!?" cries a horrified Kim

"That's what I was saying!!" screams Max

Enjoy the show!

(The reboot should've lasted longer though.)

[welcometololaland]

thank you everyone for the tags (@reyesstrand @rmd-writes @three-drink-amy @statueinthestone @lemonlyman-dotcom and if there was someone else i'm so sorry i went back through my mentions and bamboozled myself). i wasn't gonna do this, and then i saw the potential to actually get myself back in the zone for unreleased stuff and rolled with it, so thank you!

rules (that I slightly bent): pick your 5 most recent fics and list the first and last lines, no context.

(i'm leaving (Un)Professional Services, Fifty First Dates and Cause of Action because they're currently being posted :))

(1) ALTA (UNRELEASED)

“You know we’re going to a fundraiser, right?” Carlos asks, eyeing off the cinnamon doughnut and large coffee in his father’s hand as Gabriel opens the car door and settles into the passenger seat.

His Carlos. A marshmallow.

(2) living at the centre of a wound still fresh

Four-thirty in the morning is a peaceful time, Carlos thinks as he blinks up at the ceiling and watches the dust motes settle. 

Grief has made nothing in their lives feel completely right, but somehow, everything is still okay.

(3) all is near and can't be touched

It feels like a dream. A really bad one, actually. A nightmare, to be more specific. A very realistic, very vivid vision that clings to TK like a second skin.

Carlos hums softly and hugs him tighter. “Exactly,” he says. “For as long as we both shall live.”

(4) (Fl)oral Arrangements

“You got a key?” TK asks, trailing Carlos as he walks briskly out of the elevator and towards the loft.

TK licks his lips. "Maybe," he concedes, thinking of the sounds he can draw out of Carlos and the way they’ll echo off the shower tiles. "But I'm also right."

(5) Like Gravity

Bradley is twenty minutes late and he’s kind of stressed about it.

Jake sighs. “Guess not,” he replies, a little pleased sound echoing from the back of his throat as Bradley rests their foreheads together. “But that’s your reward for making an honest man out of me.”

I know this has done the rounds so consider this an open tag (please tag me if you do this!) and i'll also rope in @strandnreyes @stutteringpeach @basilsunrise @chicgeekgirl89 @goodways @ladytessa74 @bonheur-cafe @heartstringsduet @catanisspicy @beautifulhigh and @carlos-in-glasses just in case they haven't done it :)

bruhhhh i just saw my last drawing next to my birthday post and it's literally the same pose. embarassing tbh,,, spent over a month working on my art and for what

90% humidity no wonder it hurts all over

there’s nothing like denying you’re dramatic to your mother and her reminding you that as a 12 year old, you nicknamed a P.E teacher Satan’s Mistress. 

(look she really Was awful okay it wasn’t dramatic it was True) 

[stoportotouch]

also i just figured out the historical context of molasses to rum being a waltz. in the mid-late 18th century the waltz didn’t have its 21st century connotation of being, like, classy and dignified; that was, as we already know from the show, the minuet. (and for rutledge specifically, since he’s a southerner, the cottilion.)

in the 18th century the waltz was not only undignified (a lady and a gentleman dancing in close quarters with his arm around her waist) but it was basically a peasant dance. rutledge isn’t so much evoking the dignity of the dance that it has in the 21st century but the the idea of it being something dirty, and that he feels is personally ‘beneath’ his own dignity.

weight venting

sometimes i wanna talk about the issues i have with my body and as much as the body positivity movement definitely needs to skew more towards plus sized bodies there is still issues with being skinny , but the last time i ever did that , i was told i had no room to talk because my body had never been fat so i wasnt apart of the conversation

im only skinny because im underweight from an eating disorder . a childhood battle ive been fighting for as long as i can remember , because society doesnt even clsssify healthy sized bodies as healthy . i have so many health issues because of being so skinny . at the peak of my eating disorder , i rapidly lost 10lbs , and theres stretch marks / cellulite on my thighs and butt because of it . and stretch marks / cellulite are seen as ugly . which makes me feel worse about it even if i know that these things are normal for the human body . i cant hardly find clothes that fit properly because im too tall and thin for what my size should actually be , and instead of that being seen as an issue , its glamourized and fetishized as a " goal "

having anemia so bad that i have to take 3 different medications for it daily isnt a goal . not being healthy because i cant eat normally isnt a goal . my weak immune system , constant fatigue , and body temperature irregulations arent a goal . everyday of my life is complicated by the side effects of the unhealthy beauty standards of ( american ) society

yes , the body positivity movement should focus mostly on allowing plus sized people to feel comfortable in their bodies instead of being shamed and discriminated against . but please dont exclude skinny people from the discussion just because were small , because we need help sometimes too . we can be victims just as much as anyone else
