My Gift To @alecthewreck For The Breakroom 2024 Holiday Exchange Event.😊 I'm A Sucker For Soulmate

Porn fic that takes fifty thousand words to get to the fucking and it's not even a slow burn, it just takes that much worldbuilding to properly contextualise the author's incredibly specific kink.

the fact that reed900 is the second most popular dbh ship never fails to astound me... these guys have never interacted ONCE 😭 and Nines only appears in ONE specific ending for 5 seconds max. as a fandom we're either collectively insane or insanely creative

Diagrams are helpful to me

i know the discussion about machine connor actually being a deviant has been had a million times before but something that makes me feel crazy about machine connor and deviant connor is that they’re both equally driven by a desire to live.

in both routes connor has a fear of failure and subsequently deactivation. the only difference is that deviant connor realizes that cyberlife will never give him the chance to truly live so he must take it into his own hands to deviate, to choose himself.

machine connor on the other hand equally has this same desire, but instead of deviating and to cope with his fear, he decides to complete his tasks for cyberlife because to him, there’s safety in familiarity. in cyberlife. he’s just grasping at straws doing their bidding simply to guarantee his life which makes it so much more devastating that he ends up getting replaced despite doing everything right. all of that for nothing at all. all of that just to meet the very fate he feared the most.

the core of his character and his inner conflicts pertaining to identity and fear and repression remain exactly the same. its just a question of: to do what’s expected of you to guarantee your safety or to take your life into your own hands and be who you truly are? (dare i say connor’s character is a queer allegory but that’s a whole other post)

me: I write for myself, not validation

also me after posting a fic *refreshes ao3 every five minutes*

(two things can be true)

shipping isn’t about what the writers or actors say is or isn’t romantic. shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time. shipping is about seeing The Dynamic and going absolutely hog wild in your mind and your friends dms about it.

Your friends watching something for the first time and getting to that scene VS you, the knower.

Caroline Kennedy Slams Cousin RFK Jr. as "Dangerous" and a "Predator" in Video to Senate

If RFK Jr's lies about the measles vaccine killed 83 people (mostly children) in Samoa, after just one visit, imagine how many tens of thousands could die in the U.S., if he's in charge of the government's largest health agency — with his crazy conspiracy theories and his complete lack of medical training and experience. RFK Jr's nomination as Health Secretary is appalling, and proves Trump is crazy, incompetent and obviously doesn't give a damn about the health and well-being of Americans.
