slight modification because you know it's true

In honor of International Asexuality Day today (April 6th), I wanted to put together a masterpost of all the fanfics I've written so far featuring my asexual headcanons! Hi, I'm Trai, a thirtysomething panromantic ace creator who writes for Star Trek AOS, Final Fantasy VII, and Trigun.

Star Trek AOS

I only have one official ace fic in this fandom so far, as I started writing my fics for it before I had figured out my place on the ace spectrum and utilizing it in my writing, but it will definitely play a part in future fics for my 'verse.

your hands can heal, your hands can bruise - The foundational fic for the 'verse, a developing friendship, emotional hurt/comfort fic following Jim and Bones getting to know each other (and Bones coming to accept his romantic feelings for Jim) in the academy era. Featuring pansexual Jim and biromantic demisexual Bones.

(at least out loud) i won't say i'm in love - An angsty feelings realization fic of sorts where Bones tries to cope with the inconvenient truth of physical attraction to Jim in addition to his romantic feelings.

Final Fantasy VII

a bit less broken - A Cloud & Tifa friendship fic where Tifa comforts and guides Cloud through his realization he's somewhere on the ace spectrum. This was my first official ace fic and is still very special to me!

so hold on stronger to me - A queer platonic, ace Cloud & trans Barret fic written for Romancing Barret Week, where Barret gives Cloud advice about how to fix his relationship with Tifa post-Advent Children. In the future I will be writing further fics following on from this one featuring established Cloud/Tifa and Barret as their queer platonic partner, as they raise Marlene and Denzel in Edge and have a quiet life together. 💜

and we are just breakable girls and boys - While not a super overt presence in this fic, it was written from the standpoint of established Cloud/Tifa with Cloud's asexuality being a known factor between them and something Tifa is completely okay with. Post-Advent Children, Cloud and Tifa have a heated discussion that forces Cloud to confront his anxieties about losing Tifa.

Trigun

you recognize love after the fact - A Trigun Maximum-compliant fic set during Volume 11, featuring emotional hurt/comfort between queer platonic Vash and Meryl (both of them ace!).

your pride like water in your lungs (drowns all the words it stole) - Non-sexual intimacy hurt/comfort between Vash and Wolfwood, as Vash suffers through an attack of phantom limb pain and Wolfwood offers to help him out. Written from the perspective of ace for ace Vashwood.

cooking is love made visible - A pre-canon, developing friendship Meryl & Milly fic, centered on the idea of food as a love language. Featuring asexual Meryl and Milly beginning to realize she might be an ace lesbian. This fic is going to become a multichapter in the near future!

i used to live alone before i knew you - A getting together fic featuring T4T and ace for ace Vashwood, centered on the idea of casual nudity. Wolfwood chooses to air dry after a shower; Vash has an existential crisis in asexual.

I hope everyone enjoys these fics if they give them a read! Comments and kudos are always welcome, and I have plenty more ace fics lined up for the future. 💜

“to look life in the face, always to look life in the face, and to know it for what it is. at last, to know it, to love it for what it is, and then to put it away.... always the years between us, always the years, always the love, always the hours.”

Wait... Are Leonard and Fairfax supposed to know each other or is this a poetic thing?

Conduct Becoming

I spent my birthday this weekend with Bradley Cooper and it was more than I could have hoped for.  Oooo Chairy, tell me more He spoke after the screening of Maestro, a film he directed, co-wrote and stars in which I will happily tell everyone is original, riveting and at times even brilliant. There, I said, it – the B word.  It no longer means Bradley or Bernstein.  And it’s not a word that I…

I'm obsessed with how in The Gilded Age Miranda got married to Robert Sean Leonard like literally 2 weeks ago then he starts to die and then Meryl's daughter tells the handsome man that she's crying because HER UNCLE DIED. The man married your aunt like 1 month ago! This is not an UNCLE situation. This show is stupendous. It has stolen my attention like some kind of Maud Beaton!

Ok new Yeomen theory/au idea:

What if Fairfax is an imposter?

Hence the discrepancy between his off-stage heroism and his behaviour in Yeomen

Clarence Poltwhistle realizes the person who came back from the wars Isn't his cousin, tries to tell people, but is dismissed as crazy. So he tries to get rid of him by accusing him of sorcery, which may or may not be true.

Even without sorcery Sgt . Meryll presumably hasn't seen Fairfax for some time.Same for the Lieutenant. Phoebe either never met him before he got arrested or only met him as a child before he went off to war. Leonard doesn't actually ever meet him in person during the events of the play, so he doesn't realize anything's wrong until act ii finale at the earliest. At which point FauxFairfax leaves with Elsie + there's a big crowd so he doesn't get the chance.

Poltwhistle finds out the plan failed, shows up to try to stop the imposter, and he, Leonard, Phoebe and a very reluctant Jack Point launch an investigation.

Meanwhile Faux!Fairfax's past starts catching up on him & Elsie is starting to realize the man she married isn't who she thought he was (twice over).

Golden Globes 2024: Unexpected Victories and Shocking Snubs

The 81st Golden Globes Awards ceremony concluded with both anticipated wins and surprising upsets, leaving fans buzzing about the upcoming awards season. From unexpected victories to notable snubs, the evening had its fair share of twists and turns. Barbie's Bittersweet TriumphGreta Gerwig's much-anticipated film, Barbie, fell short of expectations, securing only two wins out of its nine nominations. Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?" clinched the Best Original Song, while the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category marked the film's second victory. Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig graciously accepted the awards, but the triumph seemed overshadowed by Poor Things, which unexpectedly snagged the Best Motion Picture (Musical/Comedy) award. Image: Imdb Anatomy of a Fall's Surprise SweepJustine Triet and Arthur Harrari took home the Best Screenplay award for Anatomy of a Fall, a French courtroom drama that defied expectations. The film, gaining momentum since winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes and sweeping the European Film Awards, triumphed over stiff competition from Barbie and Past Lives. Additionally, Anatomy of a Fall secured Best Picture in the Non-English Language category, hinting at a promising awards season ahead. Elizabeth Debicki Steals the SpotlightIn a surprising turn of events, Elizabeth Debicki surpassed the iconic Meryl Streep to claim the Best Supporting Actress award. Debicki's portrayal of the doomed Princess Diana in The Crown captivated the Globes, potentially indicating a strong preference for The Crown's narrative. Lily Gladstone's Triumph in a Fierce Best Actress RaceLily Gladstone emerged as the unexpected frontrunner in the Best Actress race for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon, outshining contenders like Sandra Hüller. While Hüller's performance in Anatomy of a Fall was noteworthy, Gladstone's portrayal of an anguished soul in Martin Scorsese's film secured her the Golden Globe. Bradley Cooper's Missed NoteDespite six years of dedicated training to portray American icon Leonard Bernstein, Bradley Cooper left the Golden Globes empty-handed. Cillian Murphy's victory for Best Actor in Oppenheimer marked a surprising twist, leaving Cooper's Maestro unrecognized. The actor's disappointment was evident, raising questions about the unpredictable nature of awards ceremonies. As the Golden Globes set the stage for the upcoming awards season, the industry is abuzz with speculation about which films and performances will continue to defy expectations on the journey to the Oscars.

Using coffee as a canvas: N.B.-born. barista creates frothy famous faces

When actor Tilda Swinton swooned over a latte and scurried to get her camera, you knew there had to be something special in that cup – it was an image of Swinton herself.

The recent coffee creation was made by Brian Leonard, a Toronto-based barista who’s originally from Moncton, N.B.

Some know him as Barista Bryan -- a latte artist to the stars.

From Lilly Tomlin and Josh Brolin to Olivia Coleman and Seth Rogan, he’s leaving many speechless with his latte art.

“Meryl Streep called me a genius and it will be on my tombstone,” said Leonard.

About a decade ago, Leonard landed a restaurant gig, where his love of lattes began.

“I had to learn how to make coffee etc. and I just thought lattes were so cool,” said Leonard in a previous interview with CTV News in April. “I just started to draw on them, and draw my friends’ faces and it’s a rabbit hole I just kept going down.”

        View this post on Instagram

                      A post shared by Brian Leonard (@baristabrian)

He uses a bamboo stir stick to apply food colouring to the foam. He can crank out latte art in two to four minutes, though many of his subjects, like “Euphoria” actor Sydney Sweeney, don’t want to drink the artwork.

“I can’t ruin this,” she said as Leonard handed her a cup of his latest work.

On the other hand, Swinton used a straw to sip the sweet concoction.

“And it’s delicious,” Swinton said, sucking up her image.

        View this post on Instagram

                      A post shared by Brian Leonard (@baristabrian)

Bryan’s dream of being paid to perform Latte art at film festivals and events is coming true. He’s even made the “Foam-a-Lisa” – a delectable duplicate of the Leonardo De Vinci painting.

For his fans, he has only admiration: “Thanks a-latte,” Leonard said.
