Paige Duplass is such a badass. "If my sternly worded emails couldn't keep my coworker from being ritually lowered into the maw of capitalism, maybe my new god of sacrifice and grief (which I created with the help of my estranged father and a wet cat of a man on the run from 2 separate governments) will."

#'as per my last new god'#the silt verses #paige duplass #I'm sorry but she and Carpenter are fuckin made for each other #queerplatonic paige + carpenter rights #i really want to see the scene where paige's god has gone horribly awry and she's explaining the whole mess to carpenter who just showed up #and she's like 'i know in hindsight it was stupid and hubristic to think i could fix things #'the master's tools etc etc'#and carpenter's like 'are you kidding? stop apologizing and file a civil union w me immediately'#'implaceable hatred for our oppressors AND a total lack of foresight in opposing the systems that grind us to dust? um. qpp wife material'#listen i know the qpp paige + carpenter ship consists of me and like 2 other ppl I'm not saying it's gonna happen #I'm not saying it SHOULD happen #only that I'm deeply invested in queering the story beats of the 'love saves the day' fantasy #by substituting explicitly nonromantic yet emotionally fraught queer relationship grounded in shared experiences of resistance & solidarity #and just seeing what's different and what's the same #i love a good straightforward queer romance too but there's a lot of fun to be had outside the confines of romantic relationships #in life and in fiction #this turned into a manifesto jesus
