Watching Apple’s The Family Plan tonight and Jonny Coyne is in it as a spy-baddie. The man is a phenomenal actor, but especially in movie like this, I’m never going to NOT see Ian Garvey 😭

TV Show Recommendations Requested.

Okay Tumblr, please help me out.

I've had my heart stomped by a thwarted ship once too often, and while fanfiction is the answer, I'd love to be able to see my couple end up happily together without having to go through the heartbreak before I find the perfect fic.

Because right now, it feels like I get to the show's finale and I have a stroke, and then I find the perfect fic to complete the story, and I recover. Which is great. Love that recovery. But I'd also really love to not have the stroke. To which end:

I'm looking for a historial tv drama with a satisfying conclusion & the most exquisitely delicious of slow burns that does eventually get a happy ending. Preferably in a warmer climate.

The vibes I am going for are Spiro/Louisa from The Durrells in Corfu

Or Marco Bello/Maddalena from Medici: Masters of Florence.

And yes, I realize that all I have to do is read @dollsome-does-tumblr "A Little Miracle" for the perfect ending to Louisa & Spiro's story, and I realize that Marco Bello and Maddalena are reunited, because in season 2 we see that a decade after he left the Medici house, he's back training Lorenzo, after the death of Cosimo.

But I would also now like to see it happen on screen! So yeah, any recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Breaking News: Transgender Women on HRT Officially Banned from the Try Not To Cum Challenge

It was a hard decision, but top level tournament officials voted in favor of the ban. Critics were quick to voice their disapproval of the ban as yet another example the unfair banning of transgender women from a competition, but TNtC Organization President Roger Cummings defends the decision.

“Listen, I know it sounds bad, but I swear we’re not doing this because we’re transphobic. I mean this isn’t even a gendered competition. But since last year’s ban on SSRIs, several cis top athletes were busted for taking spiro to edge out the competition. We’re going to readdress the issue before next season with more thorough research, but this year the grand finals bracket lineup has more trans flags than a guilty gear tournament”

When pressed for comment, tournament official and transgender woman Chastity Locke replied,

“Yeah, I supported the ban. I think the rest of the head officials in charge of what decisions are voted on are going about this the wrong way, but it seemed like the most effective way to finally get these poor women to stop taking spiro. I am kind of surprised that the TNtC organization even brought up the issue though considering our viewer numbers have quadrupled in just the last few months.”

Not exactly hoping on @ayviedoesthings' Dragon-HRT trend here, but I did want to share my Trans-HRT-Dragon doodle.

A mascot, if you will 😁

gonna ramble about worldbuilding

:0 come play with me in this space

I've been refining old concept art of the city of my story, Spiro and Nova, (because it sits in my head always and never truly leaves.) The sunflower skyrise is a giant, flower-like skyscraper that is supposed to open and peel back to protect the city beneath it from frequent, violent storms. In the setting of the story, it has been fixed in its closed position for several years.

(I am driven a little insane by how rapidly our climate crisis has increased since 2018 when I first started thinking about this story.)

I am not a true crime girlie, but I am a horrible history girlie. I listen to a lot of construction tragedy stories and I feel angry because they're all caused by corporate greed and negligence. I also read a lot about architectural greenwashing, when a building is marketed as eco-friendly and has all the stylings of a solarpunk utopia, but is really environmentally hazardous and costly to maintain/destroy.

I'll be real, my inspirations for the city are Power Rangers RPM and Attack on Titan. As a kid, they made me ask a lot of questions about urban design: What happens when your livelihood is dependent on a single, declining structure? What happens when that structure fails to work as intended? Who is hurt by this? Who benefits?

I live in a major city that is actively destroying the very forest that it is iconic for. I've been writing about that a lot as a journalist this past year. That experience (and the pandemmy) has made this idea not yet story hit too close to home sometimes. But at the same time, that's why I don't want to let it go.
