well somebody's gotta ask about the taylor title!!!

this is the worthwhile fight (love is a ruthless game) pls

yes indeed, someone must, anon.

That is the long awaited sequel to all I know is a new found grace! It's Elena's junior year of high school, Dean and Elena are dating, the Salvatores are dead, Caroline Forbes finally has a best friend all to herself, what could possibly go wrong? Except you know, Dean is lying to his new girlfriend (and new best friend) about his job, him and his dad came to town to hunt the vampires that were stalking said new girlfriend, and they found a picture of a girl who looks an awfully lot like her from 1861. Not to mention Elena keeps having these really weird accidents, it's almost like someone is out to get her...

"I'm just the backup girl." "Not to Dean." "What?" "Not to Dean. You're his best friend. Maybe you're right. I don't know. I'm not you, I can't imagine how you feel. Maybe we really do make you feel like the backup, even if we didn't intend to. But you are Dean's best friend. We occupy very different roles in his life. He's never had a best friend before, Caroline. Sammy's a little young for the job. You're really special to him and I'm so glad he has you." "He's my best friend, too. Don't tell Bonnie." "She knows. We all know. And we're just really happy for you, that's all." "Why did you have to ruin my drama queen moment with your selflessness?" "You can still be a drama queen. It's part of your charm." "No offense Elena, but I really don't like you right now." "God, you're charming, Caroline Forbes."

It's just so interesting that Kota tweeted today says his wrestling anniversary is July 1st and he wants people to listen to his entrance theme cause something might be happening soon and then TK announces today that Kenny vs Yuta is happening on the July 5th Dynamite

well. love senior sure was a show that i watched all the episodes of and is now over lmao [/end of review

I was doing some rereading and I think that Bart Allen acted more like a Thawne than an Allen at times when he was The Flash in The Flash: Fastest Man Alive. And particularly so when he was fighting Thad because he was tapping more into his anger and rage which are very explicitly associated with Thawnes in the comics.

It’s seen with Malcolm Thawne (Barry Allen’s twin brother), who began the Allen-Thawne feud and also created the Cobalt Blue gem due to the immense amount of rage and wrath he held:

(The Flash (1987) #145)

It’s seen with Eobard, Thad, President Thawne, Meloni even states she had a desire to smother her father in his sleep (which is great and I support her), and generations of Thawnes who are able to tap into the power of the Cobalt Blue gem which is based in hatred.

This hatred with regard to Malcolm’s descendants is associated with the Thawne ideology and is a learned hatred, but I think interesting that his character also has instances of following this pattern and characteristic associated with Thawnes despite being raised as an Allen and as a hero. I also think it’s interesting because Bart’s character and writing surrounding on him has never personally touched on or associated him with Thawnes except for stating that his mother is a Thawne and that his grandfather, President Thawne, wanted to convert him to the Thawne side. Bart has never weighed in or commented on this half of his lineage.

But even despite that Bart doesn’t seem like he’s an exception to this pattern/characteristic associated with Thawnes because he also displays this intense rage too at times such as seen when he is The Flash. He breaks his knuckles on Thad’s face and when he sees the Black Flash, a certain sign of a speedster’s death, he actively tries to kill Thad. It is a kill or be killed situation, but typically heroes and Flashes specifically tend to stay away from killing. And similarly in Teen Titans Bart wants to get revenge on Thad after his death (and for context Thad has already died himself due to the fact he killed Bart), even despite this being a simulated version of Thad feels very Thawne like as well because he’s not just punishing this version of him, but is once again actively desires to kill him.

So while it does seem unlike Bart to give into rage or anger this intense it’s interesting to think that Bart also holds a tendency toward anger or rage at times that connects him back to the Thawnes and this prominent theme/characteristic associated with them with regard to his character, and is also ironically used against them.

(Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #13)

(Teen Titans (2003) #98) (This occurs after Bart comes back to life).

yeah between getting my first tattoo from a mutual but being too shy to tell them that’s where i knew them from and finding out i had been mutuals with someone i met in undergrad for years without us knowing about it when they posted a screenshot of my 15 note dragonshow flop post on their instagram story. the number of you people i have probably met on accident out there in the world has gotta be higher than zero huh

and right before your eyes i’m aching no past nowhere to hide just you and me this is the last time i’m asking you this put my name at the top of your list this is the last time i’m asking you why you break my heart in the blink of an eye

okay but tristan withering away in a war he doesn't want to fight, staring down at hands that have killed and saved, and only wanting a kiss. all he can think of to get him through the terror, all that gives him the strength to keep moving and get back home, is the thought of a tender kiss. just some softness, some gentleness, when those things have been so foreign he doesn't even really understand them anymore, can't recognize their true shape on his tongue, but he knows he wants it and thinks maybe if he gets it then he will be okay, he will be whole, he will be healed and cleansed of the dirt and death and loss.

I just watched the first Furiosa trailer and.... I didn't like it

some days you really just want to scream why is this so hard!!!!!! why is life so hard for me!!!!!!!!!!!!

how exactly did you get the idea for "all I know is a new found grace"? it's my favorite of your stories!

Thank you so much, anon! It was a lot of fun to write :)

So I think I said in the author's note that I started writing it as a way to make it through a day of classes after I pulled an all-nighter back in college (and that it took me an entire year to write!) but the idea of Dean and Elena meeting in high school was something I'd been playing around with for awhile even before that.

See, originally I wanted to write an AU where Dean is Elena's ex in the tvd pilot instead of Matt. However, I just couldn't figure out how to make that work (I have since figured that out - stay tuned 👀) so eventually it struck me that it would be fairly easy to slide Dean in as the other new guy because the Winchesters were hunting the Salvatores.

I was also interested in the idea of sort of doing the same thing I did with Addendum and adding Elena to spn but instead trying to get as close to possible to a canon with the Winchesters in the tvd pilot. I didn't go quite as strict with the dialogue on plot in tvd because that's like half of why Addendum is such a miserable write - there's really not a ton of room for creativity or spontaneity - but I tried to really think about it in terms of adding to canon instead of diverging from it. Plus I was really missing writing certain tvd characters - particularly Caroline and Bonnie! - with where I was at in Addendum so it was a fun excuse to write them.

The sequels on the other hand are a bit less interested in canon, in part because of how much Damon and Stefan drive the plot in season 1, and also because I thought it would be fun to see an alternate route to getting to where the show was heading in those first two seasons!

And that's pretty much it tbh. It was a fun easy idea and at the time it struck me as a fairly quick write (16k words later I was definitely laughing at myself, but it was fun to write!) and engaging enough that I wouldn't embarrass myself by falling asleep in any of my classes (and it was!)

god damn the worst part of being disabled is how hard it makes taking care of my cats like. i know i need to play with al more so i was throwing around some springs for him and he was interacting and it was so cute and then i got that fucking. im gonna pass out feeling. and like i always sit down so i’ve never actually passed out so of course i feel like im faking but i took my heart rate and it was in fact over 120bpm and its like. fuck man i wish my body would just let me play with my cat!

no pairing in the world will ever serve as much cunt as a courier x benny one, i will die with this truth in my heart

“your choices don��t matter”

yeah ok sure maybe this is true as far as the end result is concerned, like whether Lancer sided with his friends and let them seal the fountain which sustained the only world he really knew or sided with his father to allow the world to then be slowly engulfed in darkness-both options result in the ‘end’ of that world (meaning the dark world in the classroom). He made the choice himself and yet the ‘end’ came anyways.

But I’m like 90% confident if you asked him I’d know which timeline he’d rather be in.

After once more getting forced out of his old job and home, he found a small town in the middle of the desert. It seemed inconspicuous enough for him to lay low for a while, so he decided to stay and look for a job.

It felt like the town accepted him and were happy to have a new face around, however the Strider ranchers, the only ones able to employ him, don't trust him.

Me, noticing that my dad is watching The Diplomat: huh that reminds me I gotta get back to writing

My dad's assumption: Ruthie must be writing a political thriller

My actual thought process: The Diplomat ➡️ Keri Russell ➡️ The Americans ➡️ Alison Wright ➡️ Ruth Wardell ➡️ Snowpiercer fanfiction
