Bodyswap Luke in Aemond's body would have to spend 15 minutes convincing Jace that it's him. Then Jace runs for the hairdye and the clippers...👀👀

Can't make it look any worse than the monstrosity of a wig they put on Jace. Man's out here looking like Hayley Cropper lmao

My biggest problem with chatgpt is that it won't write me a fanfic about Roy Cropper and Peggy Mitchell falling in love where he gets her pregnant I had to settle for a wedding and having Hayley Cropper come back from the dead to crash it </3

[lonelier-version-of-you]

speaking of Roy Cropper though, he and Hayley are one of my favourite soap couples ever. they were very much a product of their time - or, more like, ahead of it and a product of it simultaneously

like, nowadays you'd never see an autistic man and a trans woman in a relationship on TV, not unless it was some "ZOMG LOOK WE'RE SO PROGRESSIVE" thing.

but Roy and Hayley were allowed to just be.

they and their relationship were allowed to exist freely, unburdened by the idea that they needed to be Good Representation (it actually helps, in this case, that Roy isn't intentionally written as autistic*, though he is deliberately played as such by the actor). they were allowed to be the off-kilter, quirky couple and neither of them adhered to societal expectations but that was okay and they always had each other.

they were allowed to fight and to have flaws, and they were both far from perfect, but they did truly love one another, and they still stayed together up until Hayley died

and they're still well-known and considered to be one of the most classic/iconic soap couples. an autistic man and a trans woman on a soap got together in the late 90s and stayed together until 2014 and five years after the latter character's death, they're still considered one of the greatest, most iconic soap couples ever. how amazing is that?

(* - or he wasn't written that way at the time, anyway. who knows what the current writers think? *shrug*)

[gayspock]

that jeopardy post makes me think of soap operas... idk like coronation street for example... like the sheer volume of episodes that shit has, for one long continuous show... the fact that shit predates star trek and doctor who... the fact there's a dude who's genuinely been staring on that thing since 1960... the 10000+ episodes... like it's one thing for, like, a quiz show to have that many but like? a fictional "story"? like do you guys ever think about shit like that..... how there's just stupidly long shows like this that are honestly pretty soulless but like thye just have more content than like. almost anything else . hiya?

Annie revealed she was trans during a Manchester Pride panel in 2015 which discussed the writing of LGBTQ+ characters on television.

Speaking to Lorraine earlier last year, the soap star said: "I turned 50 in May 2015 and I went, you know what, I am at this stage where I really don't care what people think of me anymore. I just thought this is the time to come out.”

Since then she hasn’t looked back, well done Annie.
