i fell asleep at 9:30pm and slept straight through to my alarms. hopefully getting this out today, though, because i have project hail mary on the projector screen in the park tonight!
the struggle of reading a fic you find hilarious but nowhere in the tags or notes does it imply the author was anything other than dead serious and you start to wonder if it would hurt their feelings that you found it so funny
i feel like a person should really only write one long mpreg fic in their life, so unfortunately i have already met my quota and the omega plan b joke in my current wip is just that
@crushsong especially in heavily red-lined parts of the North where we like to pretend we’re better than those ~racist southern states~ (we are NOT lmao). i currently live in one of the most segregated cities in the US. you can predict someone’s race just by their zip code here.
@drh0rrible it’s also a very recent demand, it feels like. even within 911 fic, you don’t find fics pre-s7 with many tags. another thing i think coincides with the proliferation of fandom in nontraditional fandom spaces and the resulting normie influx. not a bad thing, just something.
four picks in and i have three lightning and one wild, because my plans were jossed as soon as i didn’t get one of the macks. so i guess this year’s roster’s getting built on pure vibes
i have the fourth pick in my main fantasy hockey league draft and the two guys i figured i’d up with one of went two and three. naturally. i went with the russian winger over the pissy german this year.
@mikeybigD same! my fairly small city had not one but two greek orthodox churches! i’m (mostly) italian/irish myself and nearly all the whites i grew up with were greeks, irish, slavs, and italians. that’s who worked in the steel mills and settled the adjacent neighborhoods
i’m from a county on this map that is green but the rotting rust belt city i grew up in was all catholic of irish and italian extraction (the white folks anyway). this is a true rural/urban divide i think. the urban areas are not german. holmes county? sure. stark? nah.
@ZuzyQTPi@MaacTheft yes! the rust belt inner cities (i’m from a city two counties west of youngstown) have that mix. i don’t remember many german names in my class growing up (2000s). the english last names even generally belonged to black folks. the white were all italian, irish, slavic, greek.
