“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

This is literally my favorite color. 😩 Smaragd green is another dark shade of green that I’m absolutely obsessed with.
Don't worry, You can trust me with the city budget, just let me in there. Come on, just let me have the budget. I will totally not gut the police budget to build a centralized mass transit network and new libraries. I will definitely not do that, just let me in there please. Come on let me have access to the city budget for 5 minutes. That's all I ask.
Round 1: Match 3
Naomi Bunch (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) vs. Alice Cooper/Smith (Riverdale)
Naomi Bunch
CW: nonconsensual drugging, suicide - Would rather her daughter be unhappy and suicidal as long as she has that prestigious lawyer job in New York!!!! Desperation for her approval is probably a huge reason why Rebecca is practically a pathological liar. Oh, yeah, fed Rebecca anti-depressants in secret through milkshakes so that’s fucked up as hell. Cares SO much about what other people think. - had mild flashbacks to my own childhood because of her. very toxic!!! - read more (and see some more fabulous musical numbers) here
Alice Cooper/Smith
CW: cult mention - She stole her daughter’s money, violates her privacy, relies on her daughter as her primary emotional support (basically parentifies her daughter), dragged her into covering up Alice’s murdering a guy, plays favorites with her children, sent her daughter to a convent when she got teen pregnant, dated her daughter’s boyfriend’s father (AFTER her daughter started dating her boyfriend!), is emotionally manipulative, never takes responsibility for her actions, and generally has a rancid personality, despite being a milf. - read more here
mod notes: even their hairstyles are similar

Fic writers, put in the tags what the difference in hits is between your most and least viewed fics. Mine is 7,720 (7,779-59).
Gritty’s gotten real weird, and I kind of love it.
RIP to the opportunities we missed because of shyness and low self esteem.

So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter
(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)
Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list
(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)
another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…] and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”
Further update!
Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!
(thread found here: https://twitter.com/tithenai/status/1655613629604016151?s=20)
In addition:
I know it made it up to #6 at one point. Being a pre-existing fan of both Trigun and This is How You Loose the Time War made this especially enjoyable.
I’m just going to add some more Twitter screencaps I pasted into the groupchat.
The producer of Trigun Stampede. (No word from Nightow yet, I checked.)
A literary agent. To be precise, the agent of at least one of the authors of Time War.
Slate, posting their article about the whole thing.
A frenzy of mutual adoration and signed hardcover offers.
Other authors want in on the Bigolas Dickolas goodness.
Dongwon again.
Saw this on Twitter and HAH.
Bigolas Dickolas is now Alexander the Great.
And finally, the forecast is good for a livestream of Max and Amal watching Trigun.
when no one has written the exact fic to scratch a very specific emotional itch and you absolutely do not have time to write it yourself but you still want to read it dammit
