the thing about romcoms is just- it's never meant to be 'is it believable?' but instead 'do you believe it?' do you believe these two characters are actually falling in love with each other??? do you believe their chemistry??? do you believe whatever obstacle is thrown in their way is legitimately something that might keep them apart for a time and not something that could be solved with one conversation?? do you believe that they believe they need to fake date for this very specific reason??? do you believe the reason why they're 'enemies' at the start, no matter how silly a misunderstanding it may be??? do you believe the grand romantic gesture fits the characters and is actually how one character would show their love to the other?? like!!!! it's about empathy and authenticity and feeling what the characters feel so strongly that even if it's a trope or a cliché it doesn't matter because you believe it

even if vertin finds the truth behind the storm and reverses its reversal so that the people who were sifted out return and the timeline stabilizes, there's still 7 decades between her and schneider. long, long distance relationship

Can’t find it in the sea of tmagp posts but someone compared tma and tmagp to the left hand and right hand paths and I still can’t figure out what they meant???

i hate the emphasis on beauty in trans narratives. i hate that trans people are told not to transition because it'd make us ugly. i hate that transition timelines are only celebrated when the end result is some magical transformation towards conventional beauty standards
transition is not lifesaving because it makes us beautiful. we do not NEED to be beautiful. transition is lifesaving period.

the shitscript is in fact a a a shitscript but crowley and aziraphale's 6000 years of crowley cheating at checkers every time and aziraphale never wins is seriously so insanely funny. like.
aziraphale is not at all stupid, let alone enough for crowley's literal "whats that outside!!!! [snatches his pieces]" but the fact that he KNOWS hes been cheating this whole time and has been LETTING him is so fucking funny.
not for the reason the script gives (something something its aziraphale's lame moral lesson that even he knows is stupid, but only after an 11 year old points it out to him) but for the reason ive invented in my mind, which is that this is yet another example of their looserman weirdo foreplay

i think the funniest people on this planet earth are the people that rage against how horrible and awful all fanfic is without impunity and then they are. also. writing fanfic. and think they are THE exception and that their fanfiction is great and novel worthy writing. i just have to wonder how self centered a view of the world you have to have to think like that

⭐️ directors cut!! 👀
first of all, thank you!!
second, okay i had to really think about which story i wanted to do bc i love all my stories but i really wanna talk about Not Dating but More Than Friends (it’s the first story i ever posted on ao3 and i have Feelings about it so time to share them)
that story was inspired by me realizing john and rodney’s relationship is very similar in many ways to my actual relationship. i’m in a very unconventional relationship and most people who look at us just say we’re dating and too scared/stupid to put the actual label on it (which is not the case). i think john and rodney have a very similar relationship in the show in the sense that it’s not a traditional or typical relationship in most aspects.
they bicker like an old married couple, and play like best friends, and tease each other like brothers. they have gotten into the stupidest of arguments, and actual serious arguments, and they’ve committed war crimes and rewrote time for each other. nothing about john and rodney is a typical relationship or something that can be define by a simple title. as much as i love and ship mcshep, i think that their relationship is a lot more complex to just reduce them to boyfriends
i really like the dynamic i wrote between them in that fic and the way they have their own secret thing to themselves. i think it’s a really fun way to look at their relationship
