i would LOVE to hear more about your forced coming out story/leaked sex tape fic idea! you’re one of my favorite authors and that trope always hits for me
(thank you anon for sending me number 54 & for OG anon's kind words!) this is another idea crafted with my lil evil genius @catofthecanals289 when we were telling each other bedtime stories on our recent holiday lol so this is 100% a joint effort from both of us
cw: very brief mention of weight loss so under cut
Okay so the idea was that Daniel fires Michael (sorry if you are a Michael stan, stop reading now maybe) after Max gets worried about how much weight Daniel loses in the 2022 season and tentatively (stubbornly) convices him that maybe Daniel should try a session with his trainer, Brad. and Daniel is like, huh this does actually feel better.
So when Daniel goes to Michael's place to tell him, obviously they have a big, big fight about it. Especially when Daniel kinda chickens out and admits that Max convinced him. He doesn't want his friend to blame him! But this obviously makes Michael more mad because lets say (for plot) that he's never been the biggest fan of Max or his relationship with Daniel. He and Daniel have been friends for years! how could Daniel chose Max over him:(
The fight escelates until Daniel is storming out angrily because Michael has some choice things to say back about how you forgetting how to drive a race car isn't my fault mate, walks home and doesn't realise he's left his phone at Michaels...
Michael however, does notice, and when it starts buzzing on his coffee table with Max texting like, how did he take it? are you okay? he sees red. Opens it to text back like, fuck you max, love from michael, but instead, just above Max's message is. A video. Of Max and Daniel. Of Daniel sucking Max's dick.
Michael doesn't know what comes over him really. He only knows that he's angry, really fucking angry when he hits the button to share it onto Daniel's twitter...

I have a lot of gripes with the last two seasons of Shameless (and I know I’ve been complaining a lot lmao) but one of the worst offenses, to me, is the way they refused to let any of the characters acknowledge their own histories. Nothing from previous seasons was allowed to carry over, for whatever reason. And it bothered me the most with Terry Milkovich. (I’m putting this under a cut because it turned into a damn essay lol)
They defanged Terry. They turned him into comic relief and had both Ian and Mickey turning to him for advice. ADVICE???? It did Mickey’s growth through the show SUCH disservice. There was some quote from Wells (😡😡😡 a thousand curses upon his name) about how they did it on purpose because we should all laugh at homophobes to show them their views are stupid or something like that. And like, okay I guess? That is such a straight guy stance. Maybe that works when the homophobe in question is some harmless stranger who has no effect on your life and their views are like the water turning the frogs gay.
But Terry was not that kind of homophobe. Terry was a very real type, whose abuse shaped every part of who Mickey was. Turning him into comic relief made it seem like Mickey’s fear was over the top and he was just paranoid. But when Terry walked in on Ian and Mickey, he physically assaulted them and used corrective rape by proxy. Mickey’s fears were EXTREMELY founded.
That was the crux of Mickey’s character and his development! That even with all of this terror and self-loathing and abuse, he was slowly opening himself up and not only learning to give Ian his love but to accept love. Mickey’s bravery was such a key element of his character! We knew what kind of abuse he’d been subject to, so every tiny, halting step forward made us cheer for him. Turning that into comic relief was an absolute slap in the face after that journey they’d taken him on. (And they were sure as hell happy to remember it when they were getting awards from queer outlets and using it for promo, weren’t they? 😒)
Mickey’s speech before the wedding about Terry always winning was so much more hollow than it should’ve been because for some reason they wouldn’t let him talk about his worst offenses. Having Mickey talk about Terry stealing Halloween candy and Christmas presents and ignoring the rape and abuse was genuinely bizarre. (And bless Noel, who gave his everything and made that even slightly impactful.)
I liked that Mickey was extremely defeatist in that scene. That would absolutely be his mindset! For his entire life, Terry wins. Terry gets what he wants and hurts who he wants and no one stops him. Everyone around the neighborhood (and the cops) knew exactly what Terry was like. There were always other adults hanging around. And no one ever stopped him from abusing those kids. Mandy scoffs and laughs about Terry pistol-whipping Mickey. (ZERO hate to Mandy on this, because all of this is her reality too, and she didn’t even know the whole story.) No one has ever stood up for Mickey against Terry.
Until Ian. I cannot ever get the scene in the Alibi out of my head. There’s an entire bar full of people who are seeing this happening and nobody does anything. Mickey’s right back where he’s always been, on the ground under Terry’s fists, and everyone is just grabbing their drinks and getting out of the way.
But not Ian. Ian (who, it should be noted, is also still a teenager here) pulls Terry off Mickey and fights back. This is very likely the first time in Mickey’s entire life that anyone has ever defended him against Terry.
And now he’s finally supposed to be happy with Ian in such a “normal”, tangible way, and here comes Terry to take it away. Of course. Mickey can’t even be surprised by this. It’s the way the world works. He says there’s no point in trying to find a new venue until they address the root of the problem and kill Terry.
But allllll of this hinges on us as the audience remembering what Terry’s done without a refresher, because for whatever reason, they refuse to let the characters connect to their own pasts in ways that would enrich the story they’re trying to tell. It’s such bad writing and I can’t fathom any reason for it.

Personal note under the Read More. Sorry for so much OOCness, but consider this post a head's up that I'll be incredibly slow with writing for a while.
Got a call from our vet, letting me know that Spencer's ashes are in, and that we can pick them up whenever we're ready.

yknow, pushing 100 days since my last self harm incident, it feels weird to have all these marks starting to properly fade. Like my life has changed around me to the point that its almost fantastical to think of the headspace and conditions i was in when I would just burn holes in my arms every other day. Even though that was maybe a year and a half ago.
but it still feels weird to move on after that, to pack that demonic part of myself that drove me to do it into a little terrarium. Its never gone away but its been kept under control enough that I've begun to heal, and my body has begun to forget
and even afterwards i kind of miss it, I miss the rush of endorphins, the catharsis of breaking something, the drama of being covered in self inflicted burns. This doesn't mean I'm going to go backwards, I've made so much progress in stopping it over the past three years with the help of my friends. I owe it to them and to myself to keep going forwards

you do realize that it wasn't actual fans who tried to get kit fired from the show right?
I almost didn't answer this but I have more to say, so here goes:
It may not have been actual HS fans who started the twitter hashtag campaign to Alice and Patrick to have Kit fired (though we can't know that for sure, can we?)
but i saw PLENTY of HS fans discussing Kit's sexuality over the last 6 months
these fans were SO CERTAIN that Kit was closeted in some way -- gay or bi or pan or whatever fit their imaginary version of him
these fans discussed Kit's sexuality over and over and over, frequently including Kit so he would have to see this flood of messages day after day after day in his mentions
and then people started fighting with each other about Kit's sexuality when Kit's movie with Maia was announced
and again when he was seen holding hands with her (they're just friends!, they're dating!, i can't watch a movie with kit kissing anyone other than joe!, i'm so happy i have a chance!!, i'm so sad and disappointed in him!)
and again when he posted his summer insta pics
and again when the cast went to disneyland and maia was in some pics
and again when the recent creepy stalker photos from the hotel lobby in paris were posted all over instagram and twitter
The point is, ALL of this contributed to the non-stop assault on Kit's privacy about his sexuality and personal relationships.
After he said he wanted to keep his private life private.
After he said it was dangerous to speculate about someone's sexuality, especially someone his age.
After he said it could make someone feel forced to come out before they were ready.
After he left twitter because people wouldn't SHUT UP about it and he was fed up with strangers speculating about something that is his private business.
After numerous articles and podcasts were posted using him as an example in discussions about queerbaiting.
Just thinking about all of these things is exhausting to me. Now imagine being Kit, having to endure this day in and day out. Just for wanting to keep part of his life private from the world. It's fucking heartbreaking is what it is.
And now that I've answered your question, I ask you with complete disrespect to fuck off and block me.

i’m going on record right now to say: n/ancy never cheated on s/teve and people who think she did don’t have a brain.
also, she does love him, but it’s far easier for her to say it back than to say it first. and this stems from her being terrified that she’ll jinx their relationship and that they’ll wind up miserable like her parents as a result and she cares about s/teve too much to want that kind of life for them so she holds back from saying ‘i love you’ FIRST, but she DOES love him.
then, when she goes to m/urray’s, he plays on her insecurities and makes her question if her love is even VALID bc she’s scared to say it first, and as a result, she convinces herself to let s/teve go ( on top of her associating s/teve with the guilt of losing b/arb that she has to work through ) because he’s better off without her and m/urray ( and others who don’t even know her like that ) has her convinced that she’d be happier with j/on bc he’s handling their trauma in a way more similar to n/ancy than s/teve is, and so it goes...
but then being around s/teve in s/4 is rekindling old feelings and just makes things even more complicated for her, on top of her already complicated relationship with j/on.
but my point remains: she’ll always love s/teve, end of.

🔥🔥 about RPing and a subject of your choice
rping sounds fun!! ive never tried it so i dont have enough opinions but it seems like a good time! and idk if this counts as rp but ive definitely played warrior cats at lunch<3
and since i thought you meant rpf at first im gonna say that i think rpf is like, fine.. under certain circumstances. they have to breach some level of fame that theyd never be aware of the rpf. just like theres a huge difference between rpf about a celebrity who makes a 7 figure salary and has a fully staffed pr team versus making gay jokes about an 18 yr old internet celebrity who manages their own instagram
