In Their Thirties

“It’s nice, knowing that there was someone thinking of me like that. I always wanted that. Then, anyway.” “Not now?" -- One cold January night, 31-year-old James and Erin have a conversation derry girls | james/erin | one-shot | rated T | 9,504 words |read on ao3|

this fic is what happens when you watch past lives, re-watch before sunset, and listen to a lot of mitski (specifically "pink in the night").

some implying that Betty's desire to please Simon automatically make her a victim and Simon an abuser make me go 😑

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

great asset to the company

Okay, but has anyone mentioned yet that Grover is also a vegetarian so when he says “Thanks for the emotional abuse and the cheeseburgers,” he’s like doubling down on Ares’ shittiness?? Ares even mentions how practically all satyrs are vegetarian or vegan when he said all they do is eat tofu. I bet when Grover said that at the end, he was cursing him out so thoroughly on his head, Ares could hear it. “Thanks for the emotional abuse and cheeseburgers you @&!$ing $!@? and you didn’t even get a %£#!ing salad. Oooo you got a big &$%! plate of fries? Whoop-dee &!#@ing doo!! What kind of #&*!ing god are you? A piss poor @#!$ing !%@$ one. Athena’s owl my €@%#.” That’s probably why Ares didn’t bother with the paper towels.

this started as a reply to someone (a million years ago) (I am so sorry) and then very quickly got out of control, as these things do. so...uhhh....here's everyone else at Playful Land!

sorry

30+ year old people are hot. You're sexy in your thirties.

I think about tnmn. Again. Sigh

(If you’re still doing this and accepting asks!)

♫ playlist for your fic “in your thirties” - I’ve been enjoying the songs you mention in the notes for Someday 😄

ohh you have no idea how glad that makes me! i did have a couple of in their thirties songs and added a couple extra below for fun:

pink in the night - mitski (almost named the fic after this song, it’s still called this in my gdocs)

bewitched - laufey (this came out right around the time i was writing the fic, and @imstressedx rightly identified that it captures the vibe so nicely)

love in the time of socialism - yellow house

i adore you - molly burch

tonight i’ll be staying here with you - cher (or bob dylan/countless other covers, but cher is more fun)

fic ask game

bad omen

god i love skk sm i wish gay ppl were real :(

I've seen a few posts of people from varying us states saying "why is no one talking about x new anti LGBTQ+ bill/law in my state?" and I need you guys to know that unfortunately part of the reason you're not hearing much about your specific state is that it's not just your state. there are currently 321 anti LGBTQ+ bills in the us

you'll notice that several of these states have more than 10. Missouri and Oklahoma have 31 and 34 respectively. and some of these have already passed or are well on their way. living here has become exponentially more terrifying. and even people in states with 0 bills should be worried because they are absolutely not going to stop at state level legislation, the next step is federal law. it's really time for everyone in the us to be vigilant right now. connect with people in your community and start or get involved in movements for change, starting on a very small local level. I know it gets really discouraging looking at maps like this. you're probably not going to be able to help everyone in every state, but you might be able to make a big difference with your local community

(I think the gang take photos, little snapshots of memory that they look back on fondly.)

Masterpost for more clown shenanigans!

Look at me and tell me what you see…
