I wrote my first OFMD fic!

Summary: Chauncey Badminton surged forward, pistol in hand. Hatred burned in his eyes, freezing Stede to the spot. He sucked in a breath. His last breath, perhaps. It wasn’t even a good one to end on: too much gasping, too little oxygen. But there was nothing to do about it now. Chauncey was aiming his pistol. He was pulling the trigger.

He was falling.

Or: Chauncey Badminton doesn't miss Stede. Canon divergence picking up during That Scene in episode nine.

So i watched ted lasso with my mom and loved it but my mom said she was 'disappointed' that trent was gay so that put a damper on things honestly.

Yesterday I woke up and I was like "you know, I've actually been feeling fine this week. Maybe I don't even need to go to therapy." and then I realized I forgot to thaw the fruit I was going to eat for breakfast and I started crying. So I might still need therapy after all 😬

I've been away for a while, but I wanted to tell y'all something I'm a little proud of this week. Tomorrow I have my first ever therapy session. I'm hella nervous and a part of my brain wants to cancel and run away and avoid it, but I'm determined to see it through and finally work through some of my problems.

I want to be healthier physically and mentally and this is the biggest step I've taken in my mental wellness journey. I might wake up tomorrow nauseous with nerves, but hopefully I will be able to get through the session without bailing lol. Anyhoo, any advice or relatable stories?

I wrote my first mandalorian fic!

It takes place during episode 2 of the current season and has my usual amount of hurt/comfort feels, if you're interested :)

(Also i promise i am still working on the dw fic thats been on hiatus for over a month now. Writers block is hitting hard, but im making progress :)

Shower thoughts on the last of us:

Ok so I see a parallel between the situation with ellie and the fireflies and the situation with the army guy that ultimately killed sarah in the first episode. In both instances, we're looking at utilitarianism, or basically 'sacrifice the few for the many'. My personal opinion is that the fireflies are doing exactly the same thing as the soldier, just in a more sanitized way.

In the first episode, we spend time with sarah and we feel her fear and innocence and when the soldier shoots her because she might be infected and it might save more lives, i think we collectively see him as the bad guy, or at least the one who carried out a bad order.

By focusing on joel throughout the scene where the fireflies virtually kidnap ellie and take them to the hospital and prep her for surgery, we avoid the same feelings of helplessness and fear and anger that we know ellie would be feeling if she were awake and cognizant. I think this is the biggest difference.

And maybe you agree that utilitarianism is the best thing - sacrificing one person to save the world seems a small price to pay when you consider how many people have already died. Personally I don't agree with that, but to each their own.

ok but what is the thought process behind banks not sending you tax information if you earn under a certain amount, but taxes requiring you to report this anyway despite how little it is, so you have to find out for yourself like it's a weird little secret kept in the bank vault?
