I've seen a lot of takes on sag joining the strike go by. Some focus on the fact that most actors are in fact not big names being paid big bucks so don't let the studios fool you. And yes very good, don't trust company propaganda.

Others talk about the less frequently mentioned (and more challenging) take that every actor, and writer too, deserves to be paid fairly for their work. Yes even if they are the big names who have already been paid bigger bucks. Excellent, love to see workers' solidarity and people learning the difference between well paid and hoarding money indiscriminately.

But the one I so far haven't seen mentioned, is the fact that you in fact want the big names with the big bucks there. You need them to join in. They add the weight, the leverage and are harder obstacles to ignore.

Let me put it this way.

Sag and wga members are the army besieging the castle and the big names are the trebuchets ready to fuck shit up.

#wga strike #sag strike #sag aftra #wga solidarity #they might ignore a handful of “dissidents” or a group banded together #but try ignoring a boulder to the face #late night musings

"Do you ever think of me?"

The question is mumbled into the skin of his neck, where Steve's mouth is pressed.

Billy had thought Steve had fallen asleep, but. Surprise, surprise.

And it's honestly such a stupid question that he considers not answering it at all.

But, he knows better.

"Always," he murmurs, turning his head to press a sweet little kiss to Steve's forehead.

"You promise?" Steve whispers, his voice quiet and small, insecure. He gets like that, sometimes. Not as much as Billy, though.

"Cross my heart," he replies just as quietly, pressing another kiss to the bridge of Steve's nose, soothing him.

It works, if the soft little happy noise his boyfriend makes speaks for anything.

"Love doing this with you," Steve murmurs as he lifts his head, his face finally peering out from its hiding place and Billy can see that pretty face in the dark of their room.

He would know Steve's soul in the dark, just like this.

"You love doing nothing?" Billy smirks.

Steve nods, "With you."

It's so disgustingly sweet, it could almost make Billy sick.

What makes him feel worse is that he's been thinking the same thing for a while now.

Just laying here, in their bed, cuddled up and breathing has Billy beyond happy. It's peace. It's love. It's his.

It's theirs.

"Yeah," Billy whispers, turning onto his side to cup Steve's face in the dark, his lips finding that wide Cupid's bow far too easily, their noses gently bumping as he murmurs into his boyfriend's mouth, "Love doing nothing with you, too."

Still coming to terms with the fact that this 5th video is going to be our longest video to date when it's done and I think that's pretty neat.

later seasons Sam slamming Dean against the wall and his back cracks and he moans so loud and obscene Sam’s all cocky like “damn, already?” and Dean’s just like “no man my backs been killing me all week and you just popped it, fuck, don’t stop”

#they’re just old guys your honor #i love them #i’ve been thinking about late seasons wincest since i had that one dream a few weeks ago #I promise I’m actually writing it #slowly but surely #/sins of the flesh #/you can live inside me and we’ll never be apart #/my muse she comes to me in the night #Wincest #samdean #spn #supernatural

One of my morbid fascinations is mourning customs around the world.

I know that in the West it's mostly silent and solemn. Quiet respect for the dead.

The people of my motherland prefer to howl loud enough for the dead to hear.

I personally have always been a quiet mourner. Then again, it might have a lot to do with my reluctance to draw any attention to myself at all times. From the living and the dead, I suppose.

In fics it’s often written that Simon is Wille’s “queer awakening” of some sorts and that he’s the first boy that Wille has ever been with….and like, I think the second part is true in the sense that Simon is Wille’s first everything. But I don’t think he was Wille’s “queer awakening.”

I very much think Wille is aware that he’s not straight on some level - the way he pursues Simon is unapologetic and bold. He wants Simon to pick up on it and he definitely gives Simon the green light to make a move.

He has no qualms sharing that he likes someone and that they’ve kissed to Erik over the phone. If Erik had lived and Simon & Wille had made it official, I think Wille was very much ready to introduce them.

Not once in the series is it made out that he’s having a sexuality crisis. In that fateful first kiss where he says “I’m not -” and trails off - that felt way more like him having anxiety about being queer in the public eye rather than the anxiety of discovering that he was queer in the first place.

Even when the video comes out, neither Kristina or Ludvig seem particularly surprised that Wille’s seen having sex with a guy. Everyone seems ~aware~ that Wille isn’t straight but it’s probably just never been an issue because Wille hasn’t dated or pursued anyone before - boy or girl.

In conclusion, Wille is unabashedly queer and he’s known it for a while ✌️

WAIT I just realized something if Barbatos truly is Nightbringer

In normal lesson 9-A, Solomon has a run in with some sort of illusion (?) of Diavolo and Simeon and in 10-A he has a quick chat with Nightbringer, right

When asked to choose between demons and angels by Simeon and Diavolo, Solomon says that he chooses neither and states that he doesn’t want to make an enemy out of either of them, and then adds that he just wants to be free and that that’s part of the agreement he has with “him” (him being Nightbringer)

And then in his converstation with Nightbringer, he says that he wishes Solomon would have simply chosen their side as that would make things easier and later remarks that Sol is behaving like a demon, to which Solomon replies with this

So could it be that Barbatos is actually the reason Solomon is immortal? He has the power to choose which reality becomes........well, reality as we were shown during the lesson 16 incident of the og game, so he might have chosen one that turned Solomon immortal. And now he’s using the fact that he can make him mortal again to force him into whatever agreement Solomon was referring to

The ONLY reason I’m kind of doubting Barbatos -or any demon at all, for that matter- is Nightbringer to begin with is because Solomon also said this to Nightbringer

Which makes it sound like he’s actually an angel. But if so, who? Angel Lucifer did mention that Michael was interested in a specific human sorcerer back in season 3..........

#watch them pull the plot twist of the century and luke is the mastermind behind all of this tho lmao #tbh sol becoming immortal bc he can't cook to save his life is way funnier so I'm hoping I'm wrong #anyway idk if any of this makes sense of it it's just late-night rambling on my part #obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me solomon #obey me barbatos #obey me michael #mel's starry musings

1. Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things. (Pratchett)

Corollary 1A: Every single person in the world has different opinions, biases, and understandings and experiences than you in ways that you cannot and will not conceive of unless you witness them firsthand, and maybe not even then.

Corollary 1B: Every single person in the world has similar opinions, biases, and understandings and experiences than you in ways that you cannot and will not conceive of unless you witness them firsthand, and maybe not even then.

Sub-Corollary 1: Both Corollaries A and B are true simultaneously for every single person.

2. Understanding and accepting all of the above is how you begin to not treat people as things.

Corollary 2A: This is not easy, but it is necessary.

3. Despite all of the above, a person CAN be objectively wrong. Usually when they are ignoring objective facts, or treating people as things.

☽ Late night musings - Melkor, Mairon & commitment ☾

While we know and love Angbang for explosive and passionate romance and chemistry, I think you can also tell a lovely tale about commitment with it.

Let's face it: Melkor can be pretty annoying and chaotic so you gotta make this work, especially if you're an order-obsessed control freak like Mairon is (affectionate). They have to learn what their boundaries are and teach the other to respect it.

What they do have going for them in that regard is that Melkor actually appears to be willing to give Mairon at least some trust and respect and let him handle things on his own, which I think is key to the success of their relationship (be it romantic or platonic) because Mairon is one of, if not the most independent Maia who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. Imo he absolutely would've left Melkor and gone back to Aulë/moved on to another Vala if he hadn't gotten what he wanted (and what Melkor promised him) out of their relationship.

It's always been interesting to me how this seems to be the one instance/one of few where Melkor puts in at least enough effort on his part to keep up his end of the bargain. I'd even go as far as to say that Mairon managed to rein him in a bit because, as we all know, Melkor's little kingdom of evil would've collapsed much sooner without his help.

I know, I know, shipping glasses and all that (sue me lol), but another reason why I think it's interesting to consider that the relationship between Melkor and Mairon is surprisingly positive compared to how they treat other people - even if you adhere to strict canon only - is that the existence of such interactions with others strengthens the narrative that no one and nothing is born evil and everyone is at least theoretically redeemable, which is quite important to the legendarium as a whole.

One of the things I really appreciate in Picard S3 is how the season slowly gave back Voyager to Seven. I get why they didn't in season 1 of Picard and only mentioned Voyager and her Voyager family obliquely -- Seven barely knew the people in La Sirena, and there's no impetus for her to share. The subtlest of nods was a good way to kick it off.

Season 2 has willingly said Janeway's name to Raffi and the context of why she wasn't in Starfleet.

By season 3, Seven is surrounded by the spirit of her old family. The best visual indicator of it all was the silver Voyager Model Seven kept prominently on a shelf in the anteroom of her quarters.

From BTS we also see Tuvok has the same one, and from this, we can infer all Voyager crew have their own models. (I would give them real money if they would sell that Voyager model too!).

It also means wherever Seven was all through the years with the Fenris Rangers Seven carried this tiny Voyager ship around.

In Prodigy Vice-Admiral Janeway has her own Voyager model, but of course, she's not going to be satisfied with a tiny model.

Keeping Jellico in the photo for the Voyager scale.

And of course, the scene in the Fleet Museum:

Featuring the Grand Old Lady herself, USS Voyager. (Hello, Voyager!)

Ends with a proper reunion with Tuvok, the only person other than Janeway who was there for Seven since the beginning:

I missed seeing them together -- and look at both of them now, in Command Red.

Janeway was the only missing element with an unfortunate thing of production and time getting in the way of Kate Mulgrew being around, as I understand it, she splits her time living in Ireland and the US (I could be wrong!) -- it's also one of the reasons I dearly hope we get a new show with Seven as the main lead. Because I selfishly want Janeway to appear and possibly give Seven her Captain's pins.

I know Jonathan Frakes expressed his wish that Riker be the one to hand out assignments to Seven, and it would make sense if he becomes a newly minted Vice-Admiral. Since Janeway might be higher up in the Command chain at this point.

But I still want Janeway to be the one handing out crucial assignments to Seven and the Ent-G.

So, yeah I hope we get that show but also I'm really glad this season finally brought Voyager back to Seven. It was her home.

when zora told us that if we are silent about our pain they will say that we'd enjoyed it . . . when lewis told us to press on and make good trouble . . . this is what they meant . . .
