“if women want equality then they should be drafted” what if — just hear me out — what if nobody should be drafted. not even *looks behind my shoulder* not even men.

there's no greater betrayal than finally starting to read a book you've had sitting for months on your shelf or your desk or your nightstand and then finding out it's bad. like. i gave you a fucking home.

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

Doctor Who Cold War | 7.08

thinking about how much Lelouch is the son of Marianne the Flash. the commoner woman who went from nothing to being the first Knightmare Pilot, Knight of Six, and an actual Empress Consort

Lelouch never uses any of the connections he could possibly have. he doesn't use his Geass to build up the Black Knights. he shows up in a dope persona in disguise with a mask on and proceeds to verbally convince people to follow him. he doesn't have the dope persona and doesn't even show up in person for Shinjuku, he contacts them over the radio and despite obviously qualms, his pure charisma and persuasion as well as confidence makes them follow him

Lelouch builds up things from the start with just his own skills, knowledge, and abilities to give people at first and then he ends up with an army. with a nation. with an alliance of nations. and when he loses that, he finally makes full use of his Geass to take over the opposing empire because he has no more fucks to give. and even without that Geass, i would swear he could still manage to take over the Empire without overusing it beyond getting the right nobles and imperial family members to support him with his Geass

Lelouch is 100% his mother's son and he just oozes charisma and passion and has the skills necessary to make use of it. end result is this guy can take over half the world twice and then reconquer the other half after losing it with the new half he now has

this is also half of Suzaku's problem; 7 years ago Suzaku ended up drawn in tight to Lelouch and naturally orbits him like the moon to the planet. unfortunately that partly led to him committing patricide and having five different breakdowns that has him constantly trying to resist that pull because he wants to punish himself and also in deep deep denial what is really going on and what he truly wants (ie death and a "heroic" one that works as atonement and before that he just wants to be punished over and over thus working with the Britannian side so he constantly gets punished just by being there)

in canon he only gives into the pull when they both are going to be punished together and he really has lost all ways of denying things

in fics...well, in fics you get the fun of figuring out what can break Suzaku and make him resume his natural orbit around Lelouch as is his happiest state

though don't get me wrong...Lelouch orbits Suzaku just as much and is incredibly attached to each other. soul mates doesn't quite cover it, they just fit together

so of course for narrative and plot reasons, they can't work together until much later cause otherwise they would steamroll all opposition...you have to be clever to provide them challenges when working together

which brings a new host of problems...all delightful to dig into really, nothing more fun than the absolute crazy SuzaLulu is for each other

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance

Hey rarepair shippers, I'm about to change your lives.

The AO3 Primary Ship Search add-on for Firefox (it's called AO3 First Tag Search for Chrome) adds this little checkbox to the AO3 advanced search page

And if you check the box, the search only returns fics where the pairing you entered is the first one tagged. This is better than the otp:true operator imo because it will show fics with secondary/background pairings too as long as your preferred ship is the main one.

You can even use the add-on in Firefox or Kiwi browser on Android mobile.

Have fun 😘

Hello! I come with some good news! In the EU, a law has been passed restricting generative AIs (particularly ones that pose a high risk). I hope other areas in the world follow suit, but this is huge! It'll take a while to be applied as well, though this is still a major win for everyone.
