red is a kind color like a rusted rebar that served you well once some time ago red is the color of dead petals which stink in their rot and revel in the air, a carpet on the concrete and a wet weight red is the color of you when you fluster when the blood rises to your skin or the skinning on your knee red is the color of your knuckles as they brush my cheek rough like old rust and heavy like a wet weight and bloodied with the fight and red is your hair, stained you trip away from me and you relieve when i fail to follow but red is the color of a trap set in the upcoming autumn

anyways i genuinely and deeply believe that seb is one of the best, well-rounded, most talented racing drivers currently active and i think no matter where he was racing, he'd adapt within less than one season. he's incredibly versatile, everyone who has worked with him praises his quick understanding, intelligence and detailed feedback. he's a genius on track and seizes every opportunity he can and any team across all of motorsport recognizes his talent. so many other drivers know him to be courteous and friendly and so many racing series want to win him (and the fanbase and recognition that comes with him) to drive for them. It's clear that once a team is genuinely happy to have him and listens to him, he's a major force that very few other drivers could come up against.

I name all of my snake plants after Baltimore Orioles players because...I don't know why I do that.....anyway Adley (she/her pronouns according to my parents) and Adam Jones are making the trip with me but Chris Davis is TOO BIG FOR THE CAR and I'm so sad now. That was my emotional support snake plant through my FMLA leave. He has seen the worst of me (mental illness, forgot to water him for a month) and survived. Now he's like four feet tall and I have to leave him behind because he is so big that he takes up more than a third of my luggage space in the car 🥲 I took such good care of him that now he has to live independent of me. Goodbye Chris Davis I will think of you fondly as I encourage Adley to grow big and strong.

I keep getting rejected from conventions that I've been doing for multiple years this year and I heard on Friday that I didn't get Scotland Comic Con, which I've relied on for the last two years to be able to pay my fucking rent over the winter when there's no events, and it makes me want to scream because what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?? I'm making new stuff reasonably regularly, I make really good sales when I get into cons, I go out of my way to be reliable and show up on time and do everything they want exhibitors to do, and it's just flat rejection after flat rejection, sometimes without even the courtesy of a spot on a waiting list or a cursory 'sorry, we got a lot of applicants and we've got limited space'.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I don't think I even am doing anything wrong, I'm just getting repeatedly fucked over by event organisers who just see me as a way of increasing their own ticket sales rather than a human being trying to make a living.

And, like, part of me gets that I've been doing this for a while and folks who are new to it deserve a chance to get a foot in the door, but my ability to be charitable runs out when the biggest convention in the country decides no, we don't have enough room in our fuck-off huge venue for everyone so bye, fuck you, that ~15% of your yearly income that you rely on making at this con is just going up in smoke.

I like doing conventions, I'm good at it and it's fun, but it's getting Really Fucking Stressful to have my ability to eat and pay bills decided increasingly arbitrarily by the same five events companies who don't seem to give the slightest shit about anyone.

And I don't know what to do about it because the reason I'm doing this is because I'm too fucking autistic to get a real job, and I got kicked to the kerb by the benefits lot a few years ago because that system's fucking broken too, and the more effort I put in the less work I seem to actually get and frankly I want to fucking break something

when people who like seasons 1 and 2 better explain why it was better they always lose me when they say "the characters were what mattered the most the supernatural plot was basically not that important it was ALL about the characters" like...that's just what YOU were more interested in not what was happening in the show? like wdym the supernatural plotline wasn't that important in seasons 1 and 2. saying that it was more balanced or more subtle i get but saying that the supernatural plot wasn't THAT important and that it's not what made anyone love the show is a blatant lie

My silly little idea of how Pan was named...

*Goku & Gohan are eating homemade pizza that Chi-Chi made while she & Goten are out of the house. During their time alone, Gohan asks his father for some advice.*

Gohan: Dad... Can I talk to you about something? I'd go to mom but, you know how she is.

Goku: Sure, son! What is it?

Gohan: C-can you give me advice about... about sex...?

Goku: ...

Gohan: ...

Goku: You see this deep pan pizza right here, Gohan? It begins with the bread. Then ya add the sauce and cheese. And finally ya add the delicious toppings.

Gohan: Dad... Sorry, but I don't get anything you're saying.

Goku: The bread is the love. The cheese & sauce is knowing that person further. The toppings represent sex. The "toppings" are good on it's own, but it's even better when it's with the person you love.

Gohan: Woah! That's actually really smart, dad!

Goku: Hehe! I know!

*some time later during Videl's pregnancy*

Videl: Gohan, what do you think we should name our daughter?

*Gohan remembers Goku's analogy*

Gohan thinking to himself: Bread is love...

Gohan: How about "Pan"?

EDIT: I posted this on my AO3 too thanks to @longmonthartist suggesting I do so.

BBC Merlin

Autumn Brings A Change 1,002 words

“Get away from me, Merlin!”

“Arthur, please! Just trust me! Please!”  

Arthur crawled backward, dragging his leg over the ground, sword raised to point at Merlin. “How can I trust you? You lied to me, for years, about everything!”

Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic in the middle of a battle, but once it's over, he can't threaten or get away from Merlin due to a broken leg...

After All This Time 2,661 words

"A thousand?” Arthur’s voice took on a steely edge. “What, days? Weeks? You've hardly changed, Merlin, don't exaggerate.”

"Years.” Merlin gasped. He pushed himself back to stare at Arthur, to run his hands through his damp hair, keep his eyes fixed on Arthur's shocked face, as though he was just a trick of the light that would disappear as soon as Merlin looked away.

"Years." Arthur said, flatly.

"Y-yeah." Merlin's teeth began to chatter. "A thousand, five hundred, and-" a particularly violent shiver ran through him and he stumbled on the muddy lake-bed, but Arthur caught his arm and steadied him again.

"Alright, Merlin, let's get out of the water before we both freeze to death."

 Merlin has waited by the lake for more than a thousand years. Finally, his patience is rewarded.

another thing that I've noticed is that a lot of the antagonist characters in kingdom face their deaths through the same methods they notably used to kill others

[theamazingannie]

Kinda crazy how people will call out celebrities for not speaking up on political issues and then a celebrity WILL speak up on that political issue but doesn’t do it in exactly the way these people want so they’ll call THEM out too and it’s like why tf would anyone want to do anything these days if every action they take gets them called out???
