Gossip: a teacher at my brother's school is pregnant and is also dating another guy teacher (who has dated like half the faculty at the school, but i dont judge). Someone congratulated the guy on having a baby, and he said it wasn't his. Turns out the pregnant teacher wanted her babies to have the same father, so she went and had sex with her ex WHILE STILL DATING the guy teacher to get pregnant again. Idk what to think of it but it sure is juicy imo

like the kardashians......

i am simple american man. i work 14 hours a day in the cum mines and go home to eat borger.

thinking heavily about sperm donor price and his sudden overnight urge to know who he’s helped get pregnant

No one is entitled to biological kids and no one is entitled to expect anyone to act as a surrogate. Unfortunately with more and more celebrities using surrogates it's becoming more nor alized in the news. Fuck apparently a soap opera is using a surrogate storyline

And there's this horror story

Billy and Steve in their forties, settled well into an established relationship of some form or other. Maybe they have children. Maybe they don't. Maybe they have pets.

One day a 20-something year old shows up on their doorstep with a duffle bag and a backpack.

One of them answers the door, the other looking over their shoulder.

The kid is real subtle, "I uh... I think you're my dad."

They exchange accusatory looks. One smacks the other.

Now what do they do?

another example of how insanely conservative "liberalism" and "leftism" has become is this movement of the nuclear family being the only one that's non abusive to children

like you'll have people claiming they're progressive saying you shouldn't adopt (though I do agree w this one privatized adoption is an evil industry), you shouldn't foster and especially not foster to adopt, you shouldn't use donated eggs or sperm, you shouldn't use a surrogate, and you shouldn't have children if you're poor or mentally ill/neurodivergent. and they'll say these are all examples of child abuse because a child can only ever be healthy and happy when they're with their birth parents who are rich.

like girl you just did eugenics but with the language that it's for child advocacy

AU where Gay marriage is legal in Westeros and the second Vicerys named Rhaenyra heir Otto decided that Alicent was going to marry HER.

But this backfires hard because Rhaenyra is genuinely in love with Alicent and the second she experiences genuine love and affection(as well as real orgasms) Alicent becomes putty in Rhaenyras hands and turns on her abusive manipulative father so fast it makes his head spin.

I’m in such an “Eddie fell first and thinks Buck could never want him but Buck will realise he is in love with Eddie, it will hit him like a brick in the face, and he will start biting if they don’t get married like yesterday” mood and I think that’s valid

actually can I just say real quick how glad I am that Tommy clearly understands that Eddie and Christopher are huge parts of Buck's life?

like, he's stepping into this relationship(?) knowing that he isn't going to get 100% of Buck's attention all the time, and he respects that. he goes and apologizes to Buck for potentially causing a rift between him and Eddie. he mentions how much Christopher cares about him and how that isn't going to change with a few basketball games or trivia nights.

I think this is the first time Buck is going into a relationship with someone who understands that. Tommy understand that Eddie and Christopher, and the rest of the 118, are Buck's family just as much as Maddie and Chimney are. and I'm so excited to see that kind of healthy understanding in one of Buck's relationships.

🍆💦🥰

To go with @halesfavoriteharlot head canon of Chris being Derek's father....what if James was perhaps infertile and Chris had been a donor a while back so when Talia and James were discussing options for their children, they opted for a donor. Talia had always wanted to carry a baby and James was alright for any option, including adoption, so they decided to try donors first and they read each file and discuss each one and pick the file that describes Chris (anonymously of course) and they go for their appointment and it works.

Your tags on this set:

I'm still wrapping my head around it, but there's something about how this whole storyline and Eddie's evolving (?) philosophy about the universe is in conversation with the scene at the equestrian center about choice and the randomness of the universe. Something about Buck's utter determination (for self destruction, alas), no matter what the universe throws at him. That the universe screams, but it doesn't control our fate? That we still have to make our own choices, that we are responsible for who we are. Even if and when terrible things happen to us that we can't control, what matters is how we respond to that trauma.

I just really love the overarching narrative and how this theme about agency vs. the universe - choice vs. fate - are all being told through Eddie, at the moment. How the universe may be screaming at Buck, but you are 100% right: Eddie would believe that the choice is up to Buck. That Buck has to decide what (and who) he wants. But it is funny how this stance is leaving them in this emotional stalemate. Eddie, waiting. Buck, running away, deeper into self-destruction.

Anyway, sorry for rambling in your ask box, but I have feelings and would love to hear more of your thoughts on Buck and Eddie and the Universe.

oh i love this ask! eddie and faith, eddie and fate, buddie and the universe? sign me up every. single. time.

i think you’re definitely on to something with eddie’s evolving philosophy about the universe and charlie’s role in all of it (it’s actually why i think ‘suspicion’ should get all the credit). arguably, charlie and his mum represent a turning point for eddie; a single parent turned rotten, someone eddie trusts on instinct because he sees himself in her, and someone who betrays him and her own son in the end. it’s okay not to believe in a higher power if you can believe in people, but what happens when people are not inherently good? what is the point then?

if there are too many variables to keep track of, where does that leave eddie? eddie, who thought he could prepare for everything in his life and, most importantly, in his death. the binary code he can’t predict but can welcome when it comes. and the one time - the one time - he tries to put an end to a situation he didn’t see coming, he gets shot. the one time he reaches out to those he cared about, they’re dead. he starts wondering what’s the point of everything if it all ends in fire, what’s the point of his abuela collecting debt to say goodbye to his abuelo, what’s the point of mitchell dying when they could have found another way, what’s the point. and the point, i think he’s always instinctively known but is slowly realizing just now, is love.

“our job was always to save the person in front of us. and what happens next? well, we aren’t supposed to know. it got me thinking…about the day you got shot. i almost forgot that wasn’t even our call and it made me wonder if you ever wished we hadn’t saved him,” is what buck tells eddie before letting him know the second chance eddie blindly gave charlie - out of love and nothing else - worked. they didn’t know if it would, and it did. both buck and eddie agree there is nothing to regret, even if it’s random, even if it turns out a mess.

i think eddie accepted then and there that they will never know for certain whether it is all a coincidence or if there’s a bigger picture, but there is one conclusion: you can either listen to the universe and call it love, or scream with your own voice and call it love anyway. just like with ‘suspicion’, it’s about not being defined by what you attract - be it shitty people, natural disasters, unexpected losses -, nor by the cards you’ve been dealt. it’s about eddie being a great dad and still pulling into his orbit the exact opposite, which makes him feel used and stupid but also tells us one more time about his heart and what it desires. it’s about buck being stopped multiple times on the way to his donation and still running to make it work, because that’s what he thinks he desires. and everything is drenched in love; for a son, for an old friend, for the chance to give happiness to someone else. trial and error.

that’s why eddie wouldn’t actually stop buck from doing it; he knows randomness is not the enemy because choice is what matters. but i think buck is not there yet. he frantically looks for a sign, opens his arms to possibilities because in the great numbers reside higher chances, thinks his future is written unless what he needs to change it finds him first. there is very little agency in his ‘yes’, there is so much pain in his running and hoping for the best. eddie ultimately will show him that buck found love actively, organically, effortlessly and yes, also a bit randomly.

it’s truly a great love story story of love.

Seriously though the backlash to the live action adaptation of The Last Herald Mage (if it makes it out of production hell) will be so fucking funny. Like. Vanyel is the most character of all time ever for sure and tumblr will NOT be kind to him

Something something about the deepest desires of the heart seemingly being fantasies but in reality they’re achievable and lead to happiness

Versus shallow fantasies that stem from being misguided/ easily led or from stressful situations being dangerous and leading to either danger or disappointment
