Chill Guy? Ao3 writer. Wanna-be "real" author who doesn't actually want that at all because I don't like word-count guides, competitiveness, or Being Perceived.

For example! City Park in New Orleans - which today is roughly twice the size of Central Park in New York - was pretty much 90% undrained swampland until the 1930s. Which is extra wild when you consider that preliminary plans to turn it into an actual park started in the 1850s.

God bless the internet b/c I keep forgetting the lo-cals in my fic that takes place 101 yrs ago obviously probably looked WAY different but urban development history is way harder to verify in books w/o going to specific registries... but Google just GIVES it to me in 0.5 seconds

@voxmaxxingg I’ve got strong opinion on either dynamic, though. Just thinking out loud.

[Boaty ⛵ || “Songbook of the Dogged” 🦌/📻📺 on Ao3 @CathodeBoat]

@voxmaxxingg Isn’t Vox’s issue not so much a strong desire to uphold gender roles as it is he just always wants to be dominant one because “submission = weak” to him? In that case, Fem Vox would probably have a “not like other girls” brand of internalized misogyny, right?

@multishipperali What do you consider an age gap, though? 2 years? 3 years? 5+ years?

@StatickyRadio Imply it’s a WHAT? In my fic, Alastor and Velvette are explicitly in a lavender marriage and you’re telling me where are people out there who that think they love each other 😭

Queer History Fact: during the AIDS crisis, many lesbians became frontline caregivers and activists for gay and bi men when society and institutions abandoned them. Their leadership and solidarity are part of why the ‘L’ now comes first in LGBTQIA+.

What do you MEAN we were lead to believe this was just a normal farming job but historians and activists basically refer to it in no uncertain terms as “slavery 2.0”?

I need to give Alastor a gun

I gotta say: after doing more in-depth research into how sharecropping as a system formed & operated as part of Alastor’s backstory in “Songbook”, the U.S. school system REALLY doesnt prepare you for how fucked & predatory it was

Same goes for most systematic abuses but my god
