love reading an older fic (10-20 years+) because you get these hilarious author’s notes but ALSO because you get the occasional “shout out to Jessica….without you telling me to write this fic it wouldn’t exist” and then the author proceeds to write the best 100k fic you’ve ever read and the whole time you’re thinking to yourself, where is Jessica these days? does she know she sparked this amazing fic? shout out to Jessica hope you’re doing well girl
#fic#fanfic#writing#ao3#archive of our own#fanfiction#just reading things#remember when everyone used to thank their betas nonstop?#we’ve changed so much

but really i’d love to see dickkory have a real second chance now that they’re older & more grown up (especially on dick’s side of things)
#none of this something was about to start#they have tension but they never act on it & then it’s too late#i don’t really see them being long term compatible#i think that deep down they’d both know that#but they’d think ‘we’ve both changed so much#and we’ll never be strangers to one another despite how different our lives are now after everything#why don’t we give this another try?’#and there’s something in that trying#even if it doesn’t last forever#dickkory

I wish they talked about this more


That’s all.. (except the tags lol)
#caution yap ahead#teen titans comics#bart allen#a year and a half in complete isolation just reading and reading because SOME PEOPLE in your life who are SUPPOSED to be family#made you feel utterly useless and your friends going through teen angst and relationships and secrets aren’t helping#so you force yourself into isolation to ‘catch up’ with the rest of the crowd because ‘you gotta grow up sometime too’#you’ve heard everyone say it all your life but after getting your knee blown up and then got surgery to fix it in a law breaking#no pain killers procedure where your biggest fear was dissappointing your family and not about the mass pain you were in#so you decided right after it was done to walk right to the library sit down and just read.. for a year and a half. alone. all to prove#yourself and to make those around you less annoyed with you#this is a comic Wally diss#I guess I just wish they showed us the emotional repercussions of this#the surgery was bad enough but to spend that long alone right after being in so much pain is devastating#they did mention his knee bothering him after these issues dropped so they get points for not completely forgetting it#and he was dropping all the facts after this so they weren’t completely forgetting it happened#I’m just curious why they left the isolation part out#not to mention he’s just moved states and his father figure is missing and he can’t do anything about that fact#and yeah I guess it was cool of teen titans to prove in cannon that Bart is smartTM#especially to a wider audience since more people were reading ttv3 rather than impulse 95#I wonder why he took on the kid flash costume and moniker though.. I mean he could’ve stayed as impulse and it wouldn’t change anything#it wasn’t a progression through his family legacy either because we’ve seen him be prepared to go from impulse right to flash#multiple times too#I think Geoff just hated impulse and changed him to kid flash because it fit the titans mold better..#which is RIDICULOUS because Bart was a titan before even his solo series began during new titans

thinking about that snowglobe note from pete where he said thanks for giving our snowglobe a shake, and thinking about how on stage tonight he said that they brought the snowglobe with them, and thinking about how much they keep changing up the setlist beyond just the medley and 8 ball. almost as though each night, each show, theyre inviting the audience into the snow globe and giving it a shake, mixing up what songs are played, reminding everyone what it means to be alive for those two hours inside the snowglobe
#much to think about………. i really do feel like there’s something to this im connecting the dots#why else change up the setlist if not to symbolize what we’ve done for them. we gave their snowglobe a shake and now each show theyre doing#it for us. a spark of life back by doing things differently and keeping us on our toes. something so freeing and healing abt that. waugh#txt

get you a man who can do both
#he’s so multi-faceted!!!!!#people who say maximus is boring and uncomplex as a character literally fight me#he is so nuanced and deeply characterized#the fact that he’s such a good devoted and honorable man makes him less interesting???#in our world of morally gray antiheroes we’ve lost the ability to treasure a character who is genuinely good-hearted#that’s why maximus stands out so much as a movie hero#we don’t see characters like him because hollywood thinks morally gray = the only way to be interesting#you people don’t know where our media culture came from!!!#you people don’t realize that without characters like maximus the antiheroes mean nothing!!!#you have to have the standard before you can have the deviation#and maximus is the golden standard#his goodness and honesty and sincerity and kindness and selflessness shadow everything he does#it changes the entire course of the film#it drives not only his character arc but those of the other characters too!!#i recently saw an article describing maximus as an antihero and i was like#DUDE#YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT WORD MEANS#maximus is literally the blueprint for a traditional hero and that’s why i will never cease being obsessed with him#he is the hero i need in my life#we all need a superman and he is mine#maximus how i adore you equally for your fierce snarls and your soft smiles#my perfect beautiful wonderful husband <3#gladiator#maximus#maximus decimus meridius#gladiator 2000#russell crowe#funny#memes

forever thinking about @djedspence’s words from 2022
#the way i had this saved……#we really were in the dark ages back then but ur words got me through they really did#we’ve been through so much since 2019 haven’t we?#these words summarize what being a spurs fan has been for more than half a decade#which is why this win is sososo special#so much mockery and bad jokes and so many losses#and yet we’ve persisted and kept supporting them#through the managerial changes through the pandemic through conte’s terorism#and i feel like that love has finally been returned#idk what i would have done without spursblr tbh as insane as that sounds#my love letter to lily <3 MWAH!!#i’m really grateful to be able to see how much happiness this brings you#and that you’re still here so we can experience it together <3#hope the picture quality isn’t cooked

#if Jack/Franco swap happens (it will it’s only a matter of when)#I think teams are really about to shoot themselves in the foot with all this business#because to a point you’ve had the ‘it’s cutthroat sport’ people winning who is loudest war#but idk I think thr tide is turning already and I think sentiment on this is going to change#and it’s possible people get fed up#and you can’t keep relying on the in house F1 PR machine (Netflix) to dramatize it in such a way that adds to the lore and unhinged nature#of the sport#we’ve been through this now many time … and now far to many in the last handful of years#idk I think it’s going to hit a breaking point#I just think there’s something interesting in the shift to fan service in so many of these teams#and how much that engagement is relied upon for relevance for teams and the sport as a whole#and in this era of formula 1 those lines blurring a bit more make this kind of stuff less and less palatable

this is the second weekend in a row i’ve spent working. and i don’t know if i’m just acting like a baby or a delusional but this CANNOT be normal or acceptable. i hate it here and i cannot live this way.
#these past three weeks have been the most stressful experience of life#ive been so tired and burnt out and I don’t know how people do this#even without all the drama and crisis we’ve had to address you STILL have to do your regular workload and fucking GOALS!#which is corporate bullshit that basically makes you do extra work on top of your workload under of the guise of ‘learning more skills’#and ‘challenging yourself outside of your daily work tasks’#i already don’t have enough time to do this as it is and now I gotta take a course in SEO!? absolutely not#I had a revelation the other day though that I don’t *have* to stay in a job that I don’t like#I mean now is not the best time for a career change given the state of the economy#but I don’t have to stay in this role or at this job forever#there’s so much time to change things#but I have been feeling so uninspired and unhappy and stressed. I wish work wasnt the space where I have to be challenged to grow#i wish I didn’t feel like my self worth and job were tied together but that’s how the corporate machine WORKS#i just hate it here. and i hate the fact we gotta live like this

getting bitched at for using an ounce of logic in the workplace 🤪
#they’re changing our promo last minute#which is already annoying but they do that all the time#but it’s the max will be 60% off select categories#and want us to put up to 70% off in the windows#i told my boss hey don’t you think that will piss off customers#and promptly got shut down hard#‘that’s what jennifer wants’ as if jennifer isn’t the person i respect least in this company#god forbid we make sense !!!!!!!!!!#sorry to complain about work so much i just genuinely feel like im losing it#i’m not saying i’m right all the time but good god i’ve been here long enough to see what works#all we’re doing is confusing customers in a bid to sell off the same shit we’ve had for 2 years#and they don’t seem to understand that promo doesn’t change the product itself#anyway. i’m far enough away that i would do it my way if my boss wasn’t visiting on saturday#maybe i will change it after she leaves. i dont give a shit#i hope everyone comes in and asks her for sizes in all the stuff we don’t have#and asks her what’s 70% off bc the truth is. nothing !!!!!!#gg txt

i wish i could be comfortable living here (once again you don’t have to expand all of that)
#there are about five billion reasons to not be comfortable going out#aside from the obvious ones i don’t trust my coworkers all that much. the few times we’ve gone out i haven’t liked the experience#not in an im not like other girls way truly i just am Not enjoying myself here#and like. my job. is fine. living with family. is fine#but it like. i want to live a life that is more than just Fine#but! i cannot imagine what that looks like for me and i’m afraid to make a change i don’t believe in#because i’ve tried to make so many changes that ended up being wrong#idk i’m like. sad!#jaerambles#sigh. if i am in the same place life progression wise this time next year i’ll be disappointed#happy to be alive etc. but disappointed. what does joy look like for me… what do i even like to Do anymore….#i feel like i’ve been on a progressively worse backslide for seven years now and i don’t want it to get worse#but i really have to think about what Better looks like#because right now i cannot visualize it. i don’t know… how can i advocate for myself if i don’t know my own needs

I love and respect them all very much, but sometimes it do be like:
Elderly people at church: “Oh we’re too old to be planning all these events and organizing all these ministries. Time for the next generation to take that on!”
The next generation: *takes it on*
Elderly people at church: “No wait not like that”
#important to note that things have shifted in the past few years#we have a much wider age demographic and lot of young families join our church#and we have a new younger pastor who has a heart for outreach#we’re not *just* middle-aged to elderly churched people with a smattering of young people anymore#so for example. our Christmas dinner is less a formal banquet with white tablecloths and more a big ol family get together#with red tablecloths cause kids might spill their cranberry sauce and/or punch#so no. we’re not doing everything according to the events handbook that was written ten years ago#we’ve also got a lot of new converts as opposed to ninth or fifth or third generation Christians#new converts from unchurched backgrounds I mean#that just changes the atmosphere#we try to look at things from a new perspective because of all the new perspectives we’ve got in the body#church stuff#christianity

tags continued from prev post.
#and all of this is true while it is ALSO true that her songs age incredibly well#even debut or random soundtrack songs or endgame#whatever song people try to put on the worst Taylor songs list NEVER QUITE BELONGS#it doesn’t feel right. and to some extent occasionally in mercurial flashes I feel the same about her BEST songwriting list#I can never rank anything of hers ever because she can write better than she has written#if anything finds her own songwriting dead it’s what her future self will be able to achieve#and I think sometimes even the public can SENSE this about her and it’s part of why people are sooooo hard on her in a brutal way#and in a way they never are with other artists. who have reached the limits of their potential#Taylor has not reached the limits —that’s the simple way of saying it#in some way she is still figuring out the artist she is going to be#and I really do think that it is going to be absolutely astonishing#because in some ways (this is going to sound crazy) she is still distracted by her success and her tour#she’s NOT but I mean. the canon hasn’t been fully set free#there are still somehow things holding her back#and we’ve watched her outstrip so much of those early confines that fame and the business of the music industry strapped around her#we’ve seen her say ‘that doesn’t apply to me’#but actually she’s going to and she needs to and I believe she WILL continue to move into rarefied air#my mom helped me give me the final piece of this feeling (and it’s just a deep gut intuition/brain chemical thing for me)#when she said one day almost in mild exasperation: maybe one day Taylor will grow into a Dolly Parton#and something CLICKED#in my brain. and I don’t agree with my mom in terms of her non-interest in Taylor (as much as it has pained me to do so)#I think she’s worth loving and paying attention to now#but that gap that exists between people who love her and people who don’t (full time haters internet trolls do not interact)#I think it’s going to close with time as her work stretches out and out and grows and changes#like I think by the end of her career we are going to have something so astonishing#and to loop it back for a second to a previous thought. I think that’s why sometimes a taylor song can sound disjointed to me. because it#will hit the Depths of the Depth for a second. it will transcend and then it will go back to merely being an excellent pop song#those flashes are everywhere in her work but I think she is going to work and hone them into being conductors of light in a more steady way#the older she gets. does this sound INSANE. idk sometimes I think it does and then sometimes I think it DOESNt. so who knows. but yeah#it’s hard to say because I know it will read as more critical of Taylor than I mean it to be. when really I mean it with so much awe

watching the grand final performance and eating oddlygood dreamy piña colada is actually the best way to celebrate the anniversary of my obsession
#i’m getting a little emotional ngl#anniversaries always make me feel weird#like wow my life has changed so much since then#i had an amazing summer last year and i will always always connect it with käärijä’s music#although the person i spent majority of it with isn’t in my life anymore#i’ll cherish those memories forever#he was such a huge part of my life for the last year and yes i’m aware how crazy and parasocial this sounds#but i’ll be forever thankful for him#i went to fucking finland!! by myself!! because of him!!#and i had no idea what i was getting myself into even#it was supposed to be just a chill evening with friends but i got home at 6:30am with a new hyperfixation#forever grateful for what the past year has brought me 🫶 we’ve gone through so much#a year ago i wouldn’t have believed i’d subscribe to the onlyfans of a finnish rapper#no idea if anyone is even reading this but i feel like rambling right now#oversharing on tumblr dot com#käärijä#jere pöyhönen#i miss the eurovision era SO MUCH. truly the best time of my life

Growing up I had the thought of self-expression beaten out of me. It sounds stereotypical, but self-expression for a “boy” was sports, cars, girls and gayness being a punchline. I didn’t vibe with any of that, and the few boyish things I stuck with because it would raise eyebrows not to - letting body hair grow, short hair, no makeup - never felt good at all, so I just gave up on self-expression at all, decided I just vibe best with baggy shorts and graphic tees
since coming out of the closet proper in the last year, I’ve seen myself in a dress. I’ve seen myself with long, growing hair. I’ve finally worn a skirt. I’ve painted my nails and worn lipstick, and I’ve been looking at ways to dye and style my hair. And it feels so good. The feeling of looking at myself in the mirror with some degree of pride instead of disinterest or even disdain is such an amazing feeling that I was never able to comfortably pursue before.
And idk, it’s just a really good feeling. This gender euphoria thing’s pretty cool. I’m finally showing who I am by existing, and there’s not a force on this planet that’s taking away the progress I’ve made to get here
#ik. the indifferent boy to beautiful transfem pipeline. a tale as old as time#I even had the green Zelda tee we’ve all had. you know the one. the one your parents got you bc they just know you like games#but I’m EXPERIENCING it. it’s changing to ME. and given how long I didn’t get to have transfem experiences it’s so fresh and beautiful#I love being trans. I love it so much. I’m never giving it up#I’m out. I’m open. NOTHING can stop me now#whimsyposting.#yeah that can be my tag for posts like this now. why not
