Still going through Perforated Heart. I really like it, but I often need to pause for a day, because no amount of fanfiction could prepare me for passages like this:
I said, āI think kielbasa is Polish not Ukrainian. Whatās a vole?ā
John said, āA vole is like a gerbil. Smaller. Easier to insert.ā
I said, āInsert where?ā
John said, āInto the lower colon. Use a tube. Put the gerbil in a rubber glove. Insert into anus. Allow small mammal to go exploring. Stimulates the prostate.ā
I said, āWhose prostate?ā
There's much more going on beside crazy kink talk, but believe me, it's everywhere in the book, and only gets crazier.

actually genuinely curious about this because anecdotally I think I've seen a shift, maybe even in my own reading patterns

actually one of the most beautiful things about hacks is that we can be changed by anyone and at any period in our lives. deborah was in her forties when ava was born. sheād lived a life longer than avaās before ava even existed yet they both have had a profound effect upon each other. itās never too late. you havenāt met all of the people who are going to change you yet.
#hacks#hacks hbo#if youāve read journey of souls ava and deborah are surely in each otherās tight 7#(at least i think itās 7 my friend and i misremember it every time)#anyway itās about how thereās a certain subset of people who are meant to be in your life and teach you profound lessons#the idea is your soul lives many lives. and across these lives these people are there to help and change you and make you grow#and itās very tempting to be like ālet me identify my seven nowā but likely you havenāt met them all yet#i can surely identify 4 of mine but i know i havenāt found them all#anyway i got off topic a little bit. the idea is that we are here to learn and grow from this life#and our soul continues to progress across the various lives we live#a life like deborahās is crazy - so itās interesting to think what her lesson is this time around and what ava is meant to teach her#love it. love it very much. thanks for letting me go off. not sure who iām thanking

filtering including a separate tap, an on tap device or any other filter (eg jug, bottle)
bonus: where are you from and/or what is your cultural background
#the cultural bg thing is my attempt to explain#why some people (read: me and my family) might filter safe tap water#like. my parents are from the philippines. it feels like still filtering tap water#is a natural progression...#poll#fuckkkk i forgot to set it to one week

5 June - The Dracula Drought begins
a redraw of this art from DD2023!
#my art#dracula#dracula daily#re: dracula#note to self: dd2024#rushed this in like 40mins im rusty ough#i wanna open up commissions soon but need to finish work first#i should make this a yearly thing just to compare my art progress#an alt version i was considering was having Jonathan read it this time while drac has his hand on his shoulder to showcase the gradual#invasion of his narrative voice by the count and thus role reversal powerplay but mm wanted to keep it consistent#imagining drac drinking 'wine' while his hand's on jons shoulder all ventriloquist esque slaps though

āSo I was at work and this woman was returning a tripod while I was wrapping these packages with twine and I needed to wrap the twine somewhere, so I spooled it around this little teddy bear that Jonathan keeps on a shelf. I made a joke to the woman about the little ābondage bearā and this woman, Sally, turned to me and said, āAre you into that?ā And perversely (again trying to be funny) I said, āSure.ā She invited me out to Kenās Broome Street Bar for a drinkā¦ā Perforated Heart by Eric Bogosian
I don't know how much of this book is autobiographical; reviews call it a "fictional autobiography" and "semi-autobiography", but this is something that could absolutely have happened to young Daniel Molloy, so enjoy.

Honestly itās so tiring having to fight for ace/aro hcs in fandom. Like theyāre never anyone elseās first pick unless the character is nonhuman (usually robots and aliens, because of course) or inherently un-pair-able for whatever reason. If the character falls outside that slim margin by even a little bit you have to fight tooth and nail to find any scraps of someone, anyone with a similar interpretation to you. Even if the character does have stuff in canon that supports an ace/aro read it still feels like you have to fight to prove itās there. Itās just thoroughly disappointing.
#ace#asexual#aro#aromantic#mad about a fic I read that already started off bad (character ānot interested in mating with a humanā) and ended worse (allo all along)#donāt even get me started on how fandoms treat sex/romance favorable aces/aros as if theyāre just. allo-adjacent half the time#like. 0 consideration for the fact theyāre still ace/aro. just favorable.#it just feels like fandom never progressed in this regard. ace/aro hcs exist but only as a last minute addition#reserved for unwanted characters or tacked on w/ no regard for the impacts#also. I love hcing nonhuman characters as ace/aro bc I like creatures but thereās a different. feel. when allos do it#idk. aghhhhh. itās so disheartening.

my favorite thing about klinger as a character is that he is so respectful of the women's clothing and women's spaces he inhabits in his efforts to get the section 8 by dressing like a women. sure, the whole thing is played for a bit of a giggle, and he's very clear that he's fully straight and masculine, but despite this he's respectful of it. or the show is respectful of it - the efforts women put into looking nice that a man usually would not even consider, and even often make fun of and downplay.
in the ceasefire episode he's selling off his dresses to the nurses and giving them coordination tips and gives the one nurse a pair of matching shoes for free. he does all the little things in the background like curlers and hair scarves and filing/painting his nails, wearing the right styles/lengths for the right occasions, talks about wearing the right kinds of underthings/slips. and because it's played as completely straight, as a "get me out of here" plot bit, it becomes an inversion of the "high maintenance woman" trope that shines a bit on how much thoughtfulness and work really goes into appearing beautiful. and it doesn't use klinger to disrespect any of these rituals, but rather shows him participating in them fully with his whole heart... even if he's just trying to get out of the army.
#i just love klinger#mash 4077#mash#max klinger#the hard thing about thinking about old TV is that a lot of your analysis has to come with the giant caveat of:#āFOR THE TIMEā this was actually kind of genius#but even now#as a 21st century person#i think you could definitely read it as equally progressive in different ways <3
