People want to sand down the mouthwashing characters to make them more consumable. Make Curly a good guy who did nothing wrong, Swansea a papa bear who would attack Jimmy with an axe if he knew, make Anya keep the baby and have Curly help her raise it?? 🤮

Everyone in Mouthwashing is flawed to some degree but most of all Curly and Jimmy. Curly is genuinely grey, tries to be the boss that's your friend but lets everyone get away with shit because he wants to be liked and can't put his foot down when it fucking counts. Was he manipulated and emotionally abused by Jimmy? Probably, yes. But he also failed in his responsibilities as a Captain. These two things can coexist and neither should be glossed over in favour of the other.Swansea did know about Anya's assault. For at least a couple of months. What did he do? Nothing. He's not flawless. But also I'd argue: it's not his place. Attacking someone with an axe is traumatising, he shouldn't have to take such radical steps.

Curly should have put his foot down.

But also, often overlooked; it's a critique of capitalism. Pony Express employees are only allowed 5 hrs of rest a night. They're several months in of not getting nearly enough sleep, showering using water that isn't safe to drink, and facing pay getting docked as a group whenever one person makes a mistake.

Mouthwashing is a masterpiece thats best experienced when people aren't sanding off the rougher parts of characters. I have a lot more opinions. But hey, that's just my two cents.

exactly, you are really getting onto something! especially about curly, because we do not know what his and jimmy's relationship actually is, and i feel like his character really shows the bad sides of always being a people pleaser, to a dangerously enabling degree.

but as we only see jimmy and curly's relationship on the tulpar and not before, we do not know. and sometimes focusing on the characters and not the bigger picture, as fandom is one to do, there is definitely something lost. as you mentioned. the critique of capitalism is right there. calling pony express just . space amazon does not engage with what the fuck is right there

[simpingforstardew]

hullo tia!! i love lovr loveee your writing!! i was wondering, do you have some specific recs for harvey and sam fics? 🫶🫶

oh boy do i !! i love giving reccs and shouting out some of my favourite writers, so i hope you love these fics as much as i did 🫶

* = the fic features nsfw content; not suitable for those under 18.

harvey reccs:

echos and equilibrium* by @hotelraleigh

this series is honestly one of the best, the way raleigh writes slow burn and tension ?? i'm a blushing mess every time. the perfect balance of angst, comfort, and smut.

A Blunder, a Bluff, and a Bet with Fate* by @mossymountain

mossy is a phenomenal writer; this series is a masterclass in narrative tension, character development, and realism in a fantasy setting. cannot recommend this one enough aaa.

Torment by @nanamikeento

you already KNOW i adore this fic, but let me praise it some more !! the dialogue is so tender,, and the atmosphere gabi manages to craft in a fairly short story is just... astounding.

Harvey being your husband would include... by @jupiter-letters

i need this old man so bad y'all,, these headcanons are so spot-on, and so dreamy <3 jupiter managed to capture the vibes of a classic 90s romcom with this one and i am Swooning !!

sam reccs:

8:05 by @peeweekey

anytime key writes a sam fic it's perfection !! she's an incredible writer who has mastered writing fluff, and i honestly can't wait to read more !!

Drunken Nights* by @deepestnightcolor

in vino veritas, my beloved <33 theres no way i can review this fic while remaining sfw, so i implore you to just read and enjoy.

Drained (chapter one) by @coughedfeathers

i know it's strange to include just one chapter of a fic here, (the first chapter is sam-specific) but !!!!! i love some good comfort/fluff, and the author's writing is descriptive and warm-- cannot recommend his fics enough <3

Puppy!Sam* by @sashiavi

,,i hauve covid,,, everything risa writes makes me feral, but her puppy!sam fics destory me. he really is such a good boy !!

39, 54, 68 for fanfic asks?

get to know your fic writer!

39. share a snippet from a WIP

i was writing a crack ship drabble, nick valensi/pedro winter, after talking with hyperdrama strangedisciple about it - and i think i will write more whenever i have time

“it’s pretty hard to stop,” pedro muttered, his syllables shaped by his french accent. he leaned against his shoulder, pressing his face into the other’s shoulder blade. “would you stop, nick?” pedro asked, wrapping his other arm around him.

nick hummed, rolling the thought around in his brain as he tilted his head from side to side. his longer hair brushed against pedro’s shirt, as the other passed him the lit cigarette. he shuffled closer, pressing his front against the other’s back, and inhaled deeply. 

“i don’t think i would, but i understand why you’re wanting to. grief really hits, in one way or another.” he didn’t know what else to say. consoling people were never really his strong suit, truth stings more than he’d like. 

54. what’s your favorite part about the fanfiction writing process?

i really enjoy getting to know my faves more intimately, or less than intimately but more like. deeply??? i cannot explain it properly but it just feels like connecting to what i enjoy deeply

68. what, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

primarily listen to music! and sometimes i look at prompts or suggestions but that is more for helping with dialogue rather than as a base for an entire fic
