this isn’t even about my evil agenda anymore I actually just need to hear your dissertation on voltron/klance x first love late spring

you do evil things to my dick and balls. i hope you know that.

first love / late spring is a very keith-core song, but i think it also applies to both keith and lance... but more specifically, FL/LS is keith pre-relationship, and then FL/LS is lance once they have already started dating.

i'm obsessed with that one interview of mitski where she explained that she wrote this song while she was experiencing her vulnerable first love... and first love is vulnerable. you simultaneously reap the rewards of being known but at the same time, you've now let someone else know you, and now you have to trust them to take care of you. and it's so vulnerable. it's more naked than being naked. and it's so difficult as well because now you're learning a brand new way you can be hurt.

so keith, pre-relationship... he's pining for lance and he is MISERABLE. he's lost control! he feels like he's being consumed by the enormity of his feelings. he's eight years old and small and never asked for this, he never wanted to know he could feel this way. he just wants lance to fucking go already. keith wants to spit vitriol and blame and shame and drive lance away so that when lance leaves him (and he will leave him, like everyone else has), then at least it will be on keith's own terms for once. and keith doesn't, he refuses, to say how he feels. he'll spitefully choke on his confession until it suffocates him. he doesn't want to know what lance might say.

but he also is afraid of lance's reaction because... if lance gives him even a sliver of ground, if there's even a promise of a chance -- keith will fold instantly. he will jump into this love headfirst. he'll do anything if it will make lance stay with him.

and then lance, mid-established relationship... things with keith are perfect, everything is going great, so why does lance feel so anxious all the time? why does he feel so scared when keith looks at him like he's his whole world? maybe the problem is lance. because what they have is real. because he's pretty sure keith is it for him. and that terrifies lance. because lance, deep down, knows he's going to screw this up. and it's not just his heart on the line; he's also going to hurt keith.

keith smiles at him and lance feels sick to his stomach. he wants to tell keith that they might be happy right now, but eventually, lance is going to ruin this. he wants to warn keith that lance is going to break his heart one day.

lance isn't always so negative about himself. during the day, it's easy to let himself be buoyed and enveloped by his feelings for keith. he loves being in love with keith. because the love is real. it's real, and it's there, and that matters. but at night, all those poisonous insecurities and anxieties rear their ugly head, and lance finds himself standing on a ledge over a drop. lance daydreams about spending the rest of his life with keith; lance has never felt so young and small.

I just came up with a headcanon and I’m not okay

So one day Vince is having a nightmare, wakes up in a cold sweat. Johnny, being incredibly perceptive of V's needs, wakes up too. He begins cuddling him and comforting him, which helps, but Vince still can’t go back to sleep.

So, finally, Johnny grabs his guitar and gets the idea to sing him the song Vincent by Don McClean. Of course, Johnny’s voice makes V feel incredibly safe and drowsy and he ends up falling back asleep with his head in Johnny’s lap (bonus points for the fact that Johnny kind of hums over the line ‘you took your life as lovers often do’ instead of singing it since Vince attempted suicide back in his twenties and he doesn’t want to remind him of that).

Eventually, Vincent kinda becomes one of Johnny’s special songs for V— while it is, in reality, a depressing song about Van Gogh’s difficult life, Johnny sees it as something somewhat hopeful. The usage of Vince’s full name (the one that only people who know him ‘real well’ can call him), the fact that the lyrics tell him he’s beautiful, the melody being soothing enough to lull Vince’s insomniac ass to sleep in seconds— is what he finds special about the song. He sings it to him when he’s sick, when he’s having a cyberdeck seizure, when he’s having trouble sleeping, or just when his man’s looking a little more stressed than usual.

Just… Johnny singing Vince songs. Yes.

i totally get that a lot of queer people feel burned by organized religion, and if you need to shut that door in your life and brick it up in order to achieve mental and emotional peace, i 100% understand

but the notion that queerness and religion can't coexist is very much the result of a certain strain of conservative Christianity seizing control of the narrative, and that really is a shame.

i can only speak for my own background, but Unitarian Universalist ministers first started conducting same-sex marriage ceremonies in 1957. (homosexuality was still listed as a mental illness in the DSM at the time.) we've been ordaining ministers who are out as gay, lesbian, or bisexual since the 1970s. the first openly trans UU minister was ordained in 1988.

growing up, i received in-depth, sex-positive, queer-positive sex education in sunday school, starting in seventh grade. some sort of equivalent program has been in place in the UU church since 1971.

to your average Unitarian Universalist, affirming the inherent worth and dignity of people of all genders and orientations (including yourself) is a holy act, and it has been for some time.

if you are queer and don't want any part of organized religion, that is entirely okay. but i just want to say, because i don't think this message is out there enough: you do not have to choose between your queerness, and religion or spirituality. you can have both.

(other, not-UU religions who accept queer people, feel free to jump in here! i want to keep this open to everyone but don't want to put words in anyone else's mouth!)

I slept maybe 5 hours last night and because I’m still thinking about the kinds of scenes I wish the game had in the last couple of encounters with Hop, I may have to drabble something to get that bug out of my brain 😅😹 I don’t have the current confidence levels for anything like meta/analysis/etc, I don’t know if I can draw it because I’m so rusty, but silly fluff (soft angst resp. hurt/comfort flavour)? That’s failure-safe, brainfog/ability for words permitting...

No idea if or where or how I’d share but writing for me first still counts

[cheswirls]

these pkmn wlw polls are so interesting bc i think things rly were jus randomly submitted so it's not like a bracket of popular and well-loved ships. a lot of these are super rarepair which is kinda funny to me. others have been around for a while but jus aren't mainstream. a loooot of the gen 9 ones ive never thought abt (lmao some of them are dlc characters i will never know bc i'm not spending more than 60usd on a pkmn game, much less 30 for a single postgame plot) n there are horizons ones i also know nothing abt. but then there are like. an assortment of older ships at random. some of them i get and some of them are like. what who submitted for this. why did this make it in over [insert x pair]. and then the matchups are so random it's hilarious.

idk jus a funny observation. all of this to say for like 70% of the polls thus far i haven't voted bc 1) i don't feel the need to vote when i don't care abt either ship 2) i'm not gonna vote n potentially change the outcome if i don't know abt the ship at all (coughcoughgen9matches) 3) i'm not gonna vote against a ship i don't like if i know nothing abt (or, again, have no opinion) the opposing one

i can wait a week to see the outcome on these like it's not pressing

has anyone ever really moved on from the flashback sequence in the Long Run?

[juodojimirtis]

Apparently, another Warrior Nun blog I was following... Blocked me? Either this one, or my main. Like, what have I ever done to you people? I just tried to reblog some gifsets.

I guess, I am a little bitter. It's unpleasant. Especially, as I suspect it's because of the ships I ship. I guess... I feel really, really lonely of this fandom.

Ship Happens, update.

Heeeeey guys! This is just a little note to say we're still here and Ship Happens chapter three is definitely still happening. I know there has been a big lull between chapters, but that will make sense when you see that chapter three alone thus far is sixty pages long. Sixty. Six Zero. You know, the number after fifty-nine?

@gleektasticklaine and I have been working really hard on making sure that this fic is really special for you guys, and we're super excited (seriously, we fan girl on the daily) about what we've got written and planned for the rest of the story.

So this is just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who is reading and who is excited for the next chapter drop. We appreciate the shit out of every single one of you and feel totally blessed that you're enjoying reading our words.

With that being said, if you feel you'll need to do a refresh before chapter three, I would advise reading over one and two to prepare yourself. Chapter three will be here before you know it. :)

And If you haven't yet read Ship Happens, and you're interested in seeing what happens when Carly and Freddie are ditched by Sam on their fun best friend reunion cruise... Well, heres the link. https://archiveofourown.org/works/48942895/chapters/123473746

With hindsight, I probably should have realized I was polyamorous/ambiamorous sooner than I did. (And to be clear, I realized it pretty young. I just didn't have the terminology for it.)

Ignoring the fact that five-year-old me used to watch Signing In The Rain! on a loop and was already making up stories about Don, Cosmo, and Kathy all living together in Don's big house and *gasp* holding hands (maybe kissing), I was never any good at shipwars.

Like someone would ask me, "What's your OTP?" and I'd be like, "Well, I guess I like X/Y, but also Y/Z is good too..."

And they'd be like, "No. I mean your one TRUE pairing," and I'd just blink at them like, I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.

I'm sure they thought I was trying to stir shit or being deliberately annoying, but I just... couldn't wrap my head around it. Why did I need to pick one thing? There were multiple options with different things that made them appealing. That's like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and just drinking water. Which is fine! If water is all you want, great. But you don't get to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet and judge people for eating different foods...

And when I eventually found out multi-shipping was a thing, I was like, "oh neat, that's what I do!" and while there was a definite feeling of having found my people, it was weird having the moral judgment from other people who seemed to think multi-shipping was a symptom of a greater moral character flaw. Like my inability to settle on just one thing meant I was more likely to cheat irl.

This wasn't helped by the fact that I... kinda already didn't care about monogamy? Not the way my friends did. I didn't mind that my then-boyfriend liked Sarah, too. What I minded was that he went behind my back and kissed her when he'd told me I couldn't kiss anyone else.

It was the betrayal of the agreement that hurt. Because we'd agreed. He'd asked me to be exclusive with him, and I did. And then he... didn't. And my friends couldn't grasp that.

It was all, "How could he kiss someone else?!" and my chief complaint was, "Why didn't he tell me first?!"

Anyway, if I could go back in time, I'd tell teenage me, you're not weird and amoral, you're just queer, polyamorous, and have ADHD, lmao.

"I love you," she mumbled, turning her head in embarrassment. "What did you say?" He teased, poking her. "I couldn't hear you from way up here." She huffed, looking up at him while a blush spread across her cheeks. "I said, I love you, you giant idiot."

"Can I borrow your shirt?" She asked, holding it up. "Yeah," her girlfriend responded, "if you want to look like you're wearing a parachute."

"You know, I've always liked it when you're on your knees," They said teasingly, brushing his hair behind his ear. "Why?" He asked, lip quirking upwards. "So you can finally look me in the eyes?"

She planted a soft kiss to the top of their head. "You can kiss me on the lips like a normal person, you know," they told her, raising an eyebrow. She shrugged. "It takes so much effort to bend over."

"You give the best hugs, I swear."

"You might have fourteen inches on me, but that does not mean I won't still kick your ass."

"You're acting like a child." "Well, at least I don't look like one."

"If you don't stop hiding the cookies on the top shelf I'm coming after your kneecaps."

"Lean over." "Why?" "Lean over." "For what?" "So I can kiss you!"
