I know I like a good bit of angst around here, but I do reject the concept that excessive darkness is the only way to make a story more rich and complex. I think the light of happiness can both blind and bolster characters, can make them act in unexpected ways. This is why I keep searching for the happy ending in Shane and Ilya's story, even if I darken it along the way to make their happiness feel earned. Prying them open and surveying at all the triggers that make them feel good and safe and wanted is just as complex and fun as making them darker for fun. Happiness has so many facets—ecstasy, contentment, pleasure, excitement, delight. The ways they are good and the ways they are triumphant. The lessons they learn in kindness and acceptance and love don't have to be simple and saccharine. There's more there. I'll keep digging.

It’s amazing how much we can see ourselves in some of the other ape species and how much they likely see of themselves in us. 

like hudcon have been and remain their own huge bugs but right now somewhere they are dressed like our little bugs. actually . we have to do something about this

It’s so funny how like. Spock is queer bc of the subtext, the Otherness inextricable from his character, meanwhile William Shatner was handed the straightest man of all time on paper and fumbled the bag bc he couldn’t stop giving Leonard Nimoy fuck-me eyes and now he lives in a bi Kirk hell of his own devising, forever enduring the conshatquences of his shactions

had a friend who used to make new ones up on the spot. The only one that stuck with me was 'good golly jelly beans'. If something catastrophic happens I go for 'that's not ideal.'

That's exactly what I was aiming for with this headcanon! Hannibal owning Hobbs' house would have so many advantages for him! :D

can you guys believe that the b in lgbt stands for best friends since childhood, bucky barnes and steven rogers were inseparable on both schoolyard and battlefield
