Private Transmission
To: Senior Lieutenant Darsten @ch1ppermse
From: General Hux-Dameron
Subject: Potential Protocol Violation
Senior Lieutenant Darsten,
Captain Peavy filed another Protocol Violation against you earlier this week for "disrespectful behavior towards a superior officer". This is far from the first occasion, and it's gotten rather out of hand. Normally, I'd send you to reconditioning, but due to unusually high wait times at the Department of Reconditioning and Happy Thoughts and some bureaucratic mishaps, I will be handling this case personally.
I'm curious to hear what you have to say for yourself.
--General A. Hux-Dameron
P.S. When was the last time you ironed your uniform?

here's a tech tidbit for the day. in large part, the US's current lack of green energy isn't because the tech doesn't exist or that the tech isn't cheap/competitive with fossil fuels - it's because of bureaucratic tangles and permitting delays. Right now it can take new power projects five full years just to get approved to connect to the power grid. (On average, it's taking 3.7 years).
As of the end of 2021, there was over a terawatt of green energy storage waiting to get approval to connect to the grid. That's more than all the energy currently generated in the US. For the most part, these aren't completed projects waiting to connect - they're projects that are ready to build waiting for approval before they break ground, or are partially built and getting their application in so that they're not waiting between construction and transmission. Many requests in the queue will never get built (some because they can't afford to wait in line for five years, or lose land rights, or have their interconnect denied, or require costly restudies after design changes, or for unrelated reasons) but even if the historical rate of 25% of them were to succeed, that's still hundreds of gigawatts of power and enough to more-than-replace all the coal plants in the US.
That's not the only obstacle to construction (see also: transmission capacity, load balancing, environmental studies, permitting, and a host of other factors). To be clear: waving a magic wand and lifting this particular barrier wouldn't mean green energy right away forever. But this problem is a decent representative of the type of obstacle green energy faces. Generation and transmission of energy are - largely - cheap and efficient. Getting systems approved and integrated across a morass of local, state, and federal governments, utility companies, and ISOs? Slow and hard.

pulling my fucking teeth out. saying "Hey you shouldn't be getting off to shit that traumatizes people on the regular" to someone that happens to be trans is not the same as the US government being transphobic what are you people on.

PRIVATE - First Dewdrop of Morning, Fifth Sunrise; UPSILON.
---
<FDM> you.
<UPSILON> ...Me?
<FDM> i'm getting married. to EA.
<UPSILON> I'm quite aware! You've seemed quite excited in your endless sharing of the wonderful news, and for good reason! I'm very happy for the two of you.
<FDM> right...
<FDM> ...
<UPSILON> Is something the matter?
<FDM> ...........
<FDM> i'm inviting you. this is your invitation.
<UPSILON> ...You are? Truly?
<UPSILON> I
<UPSILON> This is a massive honor. Thank you, Sunrise.
<FDM> ...no problem.
<FDM> just make sure to come with an overseer. or maybe a bodyguard...
<UPSILON> Is that a threat?
<FDM> it's a warning. mess up even once and i'll give ea full permission to snap off your eartennae and
<FDM> i dunno. stab your puppet with them? but they're too soft to stab anything...
<UPSILON> Out of anything you could possibly recall about our previous friendship, you remember how soft my eartennae are?
<FDM> i remember every upgrade i've given to others or otherwise assisted with the creation in. you arent special.
<UPSILON> Of course, of course.
<FDM> ...
<FDM> you already know about the +1 rule?
<UPSILON> One additional guest per each invited persons, yes!
<FDM> you're going to invite ftl. that isn't a question.
<FDM> please try to keep the bullying to a minimum.
<UPSILON> I would never dream of harassing EA. Let alone at his own wedding!
<UPSILON> Especially not by acquiring one of your own upgrades and using it to pour a bucket of water on their head.
<FDM> ...
<FDM> you
<FDM> MY UPGRADE?????
<UPSILON> And FTL would obviously not assist in making sure that she's as soaking wet as the sopping wet slugcat everyone knows her to be, of course...
<FDM> MY FUCKING UPGRADE. THAT I MADE?
<UPSILON> Perhaps we could even flood the place a tad... Annoy the rest of the guests, and tarnish his reputation along with it~
<FDM> NOOOO
<FDM> SHE DOESNT HAVE A REPUTATION TO TARNISH
<FDM> LEAVE HER LOOONE
<UPSILON> Do you have any better ideas?
<FDM>
<FDM> ...
<UPSILON> ...?
<FDM> well,
<FDM> blood, for one...
<UPSILON> Blood.
<FDM> real blood.
<UPSILON> ...Real blood??
<FDM> vivisection's getting covered in fake slow-drying blood, for our wedding.
<FDM> slow-drying so they aren't just... sticky... the whole time.
<FDM> so,
<UPSILON> Real blood could hardly ruin one's ensemble, but it absolutely would put one in a sticky situation~!
<FDM> ...were you always this disgustingly corny.
<UPSILON> You were cornier, dear brother.
<FDM> i refuse to believe this slander and i'm cutting comms.
<UPSILON> NoooOOOOOO
<FDM> ...do sort of have to go now though
<UPSILON> .Oh.
<UPSILON> Well. It certainly was fun chatting again, my littlest of brothers~!
<UPSILON> Keep in touch?
<FDM> once my vacation's over.... maybe.
<FDM> ...good chat.
<FDM> see you later, yoops.
<UPSILON> Goodbye, Sunrise!
<UPSILON> Wait-

Tumblr media Tumblr media
        IT FELT DIFFERENT,    STRANGE EVEN,    TO BE SO OPEN.      sitting in civilian clothes that were rather unassuming and generic,    typical for the area and perfect for blending in even with his imposing stature and demeanor.      tucked away just enough to not be in anyone’s line of sight or way but not in such a way that would make it seem like he was trying not to be seen.      they haven’t done this with any frequency before,    it was generally something they both agreed to avoid,    preferring to stick to the cover of the trees and remain unknown,    unseen and unheard.      people walked past him without a second glance,    no glimmer of recognition,    his face had still yet to circulate far but hers,    hers had been plastered everywhere with either a price attached to it,    or a message.
        it was hard to pretend that they were just another couple out enjoying the nice,    warm weather after a period of rain.      he could still smell how the rain had soaked the ground,    the scent of wet soil was strong in that area.      Kylo wondered if any there realized that one of the couples around them was not as ordinary as they seemed,    but were,    in fact,    the last Jedi and the Supreme Leader of the First Order.      if one wrong person saw either of them---
        but Kylo knew the importance of this,    knew how special it would be for his bondmate.      to pretend that they were just another ordinary couple enjoying and ordinary day,    time spent together enjoying it and the sun and the atmosphere.      a date.      Kylo had been wanting to give this to her for a while,    it was the care he had to put into planning it that delayed him for so long.      part of him,    the foolish dreamer part of him,    wanted to whisper that there could be a chance for this when the war ended.      the uncertainty of their futures aside,    Kylo didn’t want to wait so long that they risk never seeing it.
        Kylo was pulled from his thoughts when Rey returned with their food,    Sorgan didn’t have a lot but there was a comfort in their simplicity.      it was a far cry better from First Order rations,    which Kylo was too busy to have anything but lately and he was growing sick of it.      he gave her a small smile and a thanks,    but he could tell by the look on his bondmate’s face that she’d picked up something off about him.
Tumblr media
        Kylo looked up at Rey as she moved closer to him,    leaned back to give her room when she slid into his lap.      his hands came up on instinct to frame her waist as she got settled to hold.      her hands found their way into his hair,    and she didn’t need to ask.      a sigh left him with an apologetic brush against her Force signature.       ❝      it’s nothing,    i was just thinking.      i’m not . . .      used to sitting so open.      ❞

if you’re a young person who is tall, active, muscly and/or have been overweight most of you life you need to stay out of ed spaces. obviously everyone does but even past the casual “me not you” fatphobia it’s also riddled with sizism, calling weights that would probably kill me (a 173cm stocky person on T) “““high”““, never elaborating for lifestyles outside of a short, flat, never-been-obese woman who doesn’t have muscle. i don’t care if it’s “only for you” the longer you go on publicly acting like 120, 130, 140 pounds is a “high weight” and means you’re “fat” the more it slowly gets drilled into our subconscious that we need to kill ourselves harder

@drgnbld​ asked: "Ben, I need you to take a look at something." swoops in for a kiss. :)
Tumblr media
          He’s engrossed fully by the words on the datapad. Is it a cheesy romance that will probably have Anakin making fun of him if his Padawan found out? Absolutely. But it’s good. And the main character had just made it back to the Force stones trailed by the military men chasing after her. Obi-Wan had to find out if the stones would send her back or not. 
❝ Hmm, ❞ he hums distractedly turning his head in the direction of the the other at the sound of their voice, but Obi-Wan’s eyes remained glued to his book. 
          A noise of surprise leaves him as Lance swoops in for a chaste kiss. A dusting of a blush rises in his cheeks at the innocent and adorable gesture. Just as Lance is pulling away Obi-Wan turns more fully towards the other, hand outstretching to rest at the back of Lance’s neck and pull him back in for a more intimate kiss. 
❝ Interrupting my reading dear comes with a charge, I’m afraid your kiss wasn’t quite enough to cover it, ❞ he murmurs with a sly grin.

I know we all love the idea of Eddie keep flirting with Steve and calling him pet names, because he thinks he can get away with it.
But I've been thinking about Steve casually calling Eddie baby without even registering what he's doing.
Like they are standing outside the van with the hood open and Steve just tutting at him like "Eddie, baby, you really gotta get your transmission checked, this is like the third time this month" and Eddie's losing his shit, mouth hanging open in shock, but Steve has no idea and it just keeps on happening after that.
Next time it happens, they are all over at Steve's, having a movie night and Steve has El and Max passed out on him, making him unable to get up from the couch without waking them and he just whisper-yells to Eddie "Hey babe, could you pass me a beer? Kinda tied up here" and Eddie just blanks and says nothing, but gets a bottle from the sixpack on the floor and Steve says "thanks" like it's just how things have always been between them.
And Eddie's working himself into a frenzy. Has Steve got no idea about what he's doing to him? Because Eddie's been lowkey crushing on Steve since he got mixed up in the whole Upside Down business and it just got worse when he woke up at the hospital to Steve holding his hand and giving him the brightests of smiles that there was, rubbing his thumb over Eddie's knuckles, whispering a soft "Hey there sleeping beauty, how're ya feeling?" while being completely oblivious to the suspicious look Wayne was giving them. And sure, hanging out with him nearly every day didn't help the situation one bit.
But this. This is going to be the death of him.
And it just keeps on happening. Steve murmurs "goodnight baby" into the phone before hanging up, he shouts "babe, come here, you gotta see this" when Lucas ends up stuffing fifteen oreos into his mouth (which is a new personal record) and whispers "hey baby, I'm sorry, I know you'd rather do something else, but I promised Mrs Wheeler" when they're watching Holly's ballet recital, waving at her from their seats when her eyes land on them.
It all comes to a head when Eddie's stupid van breaks down in the middle of fucking nowhere, on their way back from Indianapolis, after going there to buy a special boardgame for Dustin's birthday.
There's not a single car or house to be seen anywhere in a ten mile radius.
"Oh this is just great," Steve hisses as he jumps out of the car to walk around and Eddie does the same. He pops the hood and watches as a small cloud of smoke slithers out of it.
"Shit" Eddie swears under his breath. It looks bad.
"See baby, that's exactly why I told you to get it checked! Because I didn't wanna get stuck in fucking no man's land!"
"Look, I'm sure if we just leave it to rest a little..."
"Rest? Eds, come on, you know that's not how it works. We gotta walk up to the next gas stop and phone someone to tow it."
"Fuck, fine!" Eddie grunted. "But it gets dark in like twenty minutes."
They both know that they can't handle walking out in the wild after dark. Not after everything and not with all the nightmares that still tormented them most nights.
"Then I guess we're sleeping out here tonight." Steve says, dropping his hands on his hips. "You have pillows or some shit in the back?"
"Got a couple of blankets, yeah."
In the end they lay down two blankets on the bottom of the van and bundle up some old jumpers Eddie keeps in there for pillows. They lie there, facing each other in the dark.
"Hey... I'm sorry about all this" Eddie whispers, like his voice could disturb anyone out here in the middle of nowhere.
"It's okay, I just wish you'd pay more attention to stuff like this. I mean shit, babe, what if it's just you out here, huh? What then?"
"Steve-"
"I mean, I just hate to think about how shitty it would be, to be out here alone, in the dark... plus I'd worry myself sick not knowing where you are, you know?"
"Steve."
"Yeah?"
"I'm not alone."
"No, no you're not alone" Steve agrees with a private little smile.
They settle into a companionable silence and Eddie's almost certain that Steve is just about to drift off, but he can't contain it in himself any longer; he has to ask.
"Hey Steve?"
"Mmh?"
"Why uh... why are you keep calling me...?" He can't bring himself to say it out loud without his face heating up.
"What?"
"Names." He settles, hoping that Steve would get it.
"Names?"
He's gonna make him say it, isn't he?
"Yeah like uh... baby."
"Oh"
Even in the darkness of the van Eddie can see how the colour darkens in Steve's cheeks.
"Does it bother you?" Steve asks after a beat and Eddie just sighs out a soft "no".
"Okay."
For a long moment it seems that this is all Eddie's gonna get, but then Steve shuffles a little closer and runs a finger along Eddie's palm before taking his hand into his own.
"It just felt right, you know? Calling you that. I dunno, it was like how it was meant to be."
"That sounds kinda romantic, isn't it?" Eddie's shooting for a joke, but Steve just sighs timidly.
"Yeah, it does, doesn't it?"
"Steve-"
"Eddie... can I?" He doesn't finish it, but Eddie knows he'd say yes to pretty much anything Steve could ever ask from him.
"Yeah" He breathes with a little nod and Steve scoots even closer, placing his other hand onto Eddie's cheek. He leans in and looks him in the eyes for an impossibly long moment, making sure he's got permission one last time.
Steve whispers a soft "baby" onto his lips before finally closing the gap between them.
