Buck kind of feels like he’s spent his entire life not realizing he was wearing chains around his ankles that were slowing him down, but now they’re off. When Tommy left his apartment he'd just stood in his kitchen with a goofy ass smile on his face because that happened right? He’d just been kissed by Tommy Kinard? That wasn’t a really vivid hallucination?
It feels like he’d spent all week swimming through a tsunami of confusion and frustration and jealousy and now he’s finally broken through the surface and he can breathe. It’s like the first gulp of fresh air after stepping out of a burning building. It’s like - it’s like someone put glasses on him for the first time when he didn’t realize he needed a prescription. 
His first instinct is to call Eddie. He has his phone halfway to his face when he remembers that he probably can’t call Eddie about this, not right now. He needs to apologize, maybe grovel a little bit, before he can talk to Eddie again and he isn’t sure he’s ready to do that. 
It’s not that he isn’t sorry. He’s maybe never been more sorry in his life, actually. It’s that - well. He doesn’t actually know. There’s something weird and vaguely Eddie shaped that’s been tickling at the back of his head since he first saw how fucking giddy Eddie had been at the airfield with Tommy that he doesn’t think he’s ready to look at yet. 
Instead he does what he does best, he pulls out his phone and starts researching. Googling ‘Kissed a man for the first time’ isn’t that helpful, but it does lead him to r/bisexual. He feels another wave of relief when he sees how many people have felt similarly to him. To see there are thousands of people out there figuring it out too. 
He’s not too old to be figuring it out. There's no such thing as too old.
There’s a post from a man in his 50s talking about getting his first boyfriend a few years after his wife passed away. The man responded to hundreds of questions asking how he figured it out - his kid came out and explained what bisexuality was and it felt like putting on a jacket that fit just right. Asking what it felt like to realize what he was - like slipping into a bath that’s the perfect temperature. Asking if he regretted not figuring it out sooner - not really, because he loved his wife and he wouldn’t trade their decades together for anything. 
There’s another one from a woman in her 60s who realized she was in love with her best friend and that’s what helped her figure out her sexuality. He scrolls past that one pretty quickly after reading the initial post for no reason at all.
By the time he falls into bed a few hours later he feels like bisexual fits him. It’s like he’d been a trapped animal scratching at his cage and now it’s open and he can come and go as he pleases. It feels liberating.

Obviously I feel like this rewrite of Jolene completely misses the point of the original, but I really don't know how exactly "I raised that man" can sound anyway other than kinda sad.

bey's version of jolene is the only song on the album that i'm not sure about
like, i don't necessarily dislike it, but it just comes across as very sad to me
like, the original song is sad, but there is a sort of dignity in its honesty. dolly is desperate to keep her partner and she honestly pleads with jolene even though she knows she's already lost.
but in this version you just feel sad for beyonce, because if you were that secure in your partnership you wouldn't care about jolene at all. you don't get defensive. you don't address a person who isn't a challenge, you just laugh at the attempt and move on. and so in that way this song comes across as a lot more pathetic.

The Dolly version of Jolene is knowingly pathetic in the way she pleads with Jolene. The Beyoncé version is unknowingly pathetic in the way she threatens Jolene to stay away from her man, it’s giving Better Than Revenge.
Out of the two versions, the self awareness Dolly’s version has and the lack of self awareness Beyoncé’s has makes Dolly’s the clear winner.

Remember when she published under the name J K Rowling because they weren't sure if boys would buy a book written by a woman so they wanted to make her name more gender ambiguous?
She would absolutely harass an author for doing that in the present day.

i’d like to point out that what jkr is doing is legally classified in germany as “denial of nazi crimes”, not holocaust denial. those two things are different and your phrasing and their connotations are important.
Tumblr media
jkr is denying nazi crimes, not the holocaust.

New reaction pic for y'all to be used when you get into an argument about trans healthcare and your opponent starts talking about the 0.8% or whatever or trans people who regret transitioning
