hcs (jack)

give me a character and i’ll give you 10+ headcannons: jack ackerman.

teve ao todo três padrastos: simon, quando tinha treze, gregory, quando tinha vinte, e lincoln, que casou com a mãe de jack durante os vinte e nove anos dele, e continua com ela até hoje. teve apenas duas madrastas, maureen, quando tinha quatorze anos - uma ex-amiga de sua mãe, que o conhecia desde quando os dois eram casados, e que jack tem certeza do casamento ter sido por birra de seu pai pelo novo casamento da ex-esposa -, e nicole, durante os seus vinte e três anos. atualmente, ele está noivo da futura terceira esposa, com quem está organizando o casamento - e jack acha absurdo o fato de thea estar na mesma faixa de idade que ele.

mesmo durante a infância, nunca foi próximo dos pais. porém, o maior ponto de ruptura entre eles foi quando a irmã anunciou que estava grávida e eles reagiram da pior forma possível; queriam comandar em como ela lidaria com a situação, mesmo que clarissa fosse adulta, e afirmavam que era uma grande irresponsável, entre vários outros absurdos - e não ajudava de nada que o pai de sadie tivesse sumido. tomou completamente o lado da irmã, assumindo as brigas por saber como era difícil para ela. chegaram a ficar mais de um ano sem se falarem, e só voltou quando clarissa o obrigou a 'aceitar' as suas desculpas.

nunca considerou fazer faculdade no oregon ou tão perto porque queria férias dos pais. se inscreveu para várias universidades, entretanto, as que realmente queria eram northwestern, georgetown e princeton. acabou sendo aprovado nas duas primeiras e ficou em lista de espera da terceira, então, escolheu northwestern - depois, indo para a upenn para cursar direito propriamente dito. sua mãe insiste em se gabar e dizer que ele escolheu o curso por conta dela - que é promotora -, mas jack sempre finge que não ouve.

teve vários relacionamentos durante a vida, mas praticamente nenhum durou por tanto tempo. na escola, era muito imaturo e, durante a faculdade, o namoro que mais durou antes de conhecer melissa foi o de pouco mais que um ano, com uma colega de curso. nunca foi bom em se abrir emocionalmente pros outros e, apesar de não admitir com todas as letras, tem um certo bloqueio com relacionamentos por tudo o que acompanhou dos pais durante toda a vida - entre ambos e com os seus cônjuges, que nunca duravam tanto tempo assim. quando conheceu melissa, tudo parecia mais fácil, e acabaram se entendendo bem o suficiente para que sua relação avançasse. não sabe em que momento tudo ficou tão ruim, ou se sempre fora daquela forma e não notava por estar apaixonado, mas atualmente jack nem sabe como ficou sete anos com ela. embora morassem juntos na última parte de sua relação, não conseguia se imaginar casando com ela e tendo uma vida juntos, de tão conturbada que era a relação. é alguém que jack não gostaria de interagir outra vez de jeito nenhum, e ainda é difícil falar sobre como se sentiu com tudo - sem contar os noventa e oito problemas de confiança novos que ganhou.

não se enxerga como uma pessoa capaz de ter um relacionamento funcional após tudo com melissa, e tudo vem de seu medo de se envolver e acabar passando por tudo de novo - ou de acabar se tornando seus pais. entretanto, a aparição de mick em sua vida o fez se sentir diferente desde o início, e com ela teve a sensação de estar seguro mesmo quando mal se conheciam - como se pudesse confiar nela. e, diferente das outras pessoas com quem se envolveu, se apaixonar por ela nunca foi difícil ou algo em que sequer precisou pensar; só aconteceu, e o que a mick significa pra ele é algo que só vai crescer. por isso, vai ficar com medo de acabar estragando tudo com ela e de acabar afastando ela de uma maneira ou outra.

nunca teve a menor vontade de se casar, depois de ver toda a relação de seus pais e trabalhar por anos justamente resolvendo divórcios e brigas de guarda. é o tipo de coisa que, na verdade, passou vários anos dizendo pros amigos que não faria nem se um agiota ameaçasse ele. mas, depois de cohecer a mick... não vai conseguir se imaginar mais sem ela depois que estiverem oficialmente juntos.

não liga muito pra comemorações de seu aniversário e, geralmente, não fala para quem não sabe que está perto da data. como essas datas sempre causavam uma bela cota de estresse quando era mais novo e convivia entre as casas dos pais, já não vê muita graça pelas lembranças de discussões e competiçõe entre eles até sobre isso. então, é uma data que costuma deixar passar batido.

durante a vida adulta, já passou os feriados especiais com a irmã e a sobrinha ou com a família de henry - como o pai dele sempre fez questão de acolher jack junto -, mas sempre dá uma desculpa diferente para fugir dos convites das festas de natal de sua mãe, ou dos jantares constrangedores de ação de graças de seu pai - e todos fingem que não sabem que é tudo desculpa esfarrapada.

é extremamente apegado em sua sobrinha, sadie, e faz de tudo por ela. ajuda a irmã em tudo, várias vezes tomando conta de sadie quando clarissa tem algum outro compromisso, por exemplo, além de ir em todas as apresentações dela na escola, ajudar a organizar as festas de aniversário, e fazer questão de estar nos momentos especiais dela.

gosta muito de rock, e um dos poucos momentos que lembra como realmente bons entre ele e o pai era de quando escutavam os cds das bandas favoritas do mais velho enquanto andavam de carro - pela cidade ou em viagens mais longas. suas bandas favoritas são the killers, my chemical romance e bring me the horizon, mas também ouve muito joy division, arctic monkeys e bon jovi. seu filme favorito é mad max: estrada da fúria, mas assiste qualquer coisa que seja de ação ou suspense; por isso, também já assistiu muito a trilogia do batman, bastardos inglórios, seven e a origem. em questão de séries, suas favoritas são sons of anarchy, breaking bad e the boys.

and here’s some more book reviews from Sara

Outline

by Rachel Cusk

The truth is that I struggled to pick my favorite book or writing from Rachel Cusk. All three novels in her

Outline series

are fantastic, and I’ve reread each of them first with passion and then again with a studious eye. For me there is the lonely, yet pragmatic, keen observational protagonist that appeals to me deeply. But also, a woman traveling, forever on the receiving end of looping conversation with strangers. I find her writing extremely romantic. What I’d most like to include on this list, is a piece of her writing from the

New York Times Magazine

: "Making House: Notes on Domesticity." It is a perfect piece of writing about the struggle of making a home and living it in comfortably. “Like the body itself, a home is something both looked at and lived in, a duality that in neither case I have managed to reconcile. I retain the belief that other people’s homes are real where mine is a fabrication, just as I imagine others to live inner lives less flawed than my own.

”

Fire Sermon

by Jamie Quatro

Jamie Quatro’s novel about devotion, longing, lust and god was impossible to put down. I read it in one giant gulp. While male writers are given ample opportunity to write about these ideas, it still feels rare and thrilling when women do.

Sing, Unburied, Sing

by Jesmyn Ward

Everything Jesmyn Ward has written has haunted me afterward. Unblinking, brutal, heartbreaking stories. Her writing feels both modern and like something from a masterpiece that every student is meant to read in high school or college.

The Topeka School

by Ben Lerner

I love a hook, a melody that on first listen gives you goosebumps, or makes your stomach lurch up to your throat. Sometimes I hear one and I think, “that is a smash,” and then settle in to envy that I didn’t write the song myself. That was the feeling I had reading

I couldn’t help but compare our memoir because both books center adolescence and high school at their core. While Ben writes dazzlingly about masculinity and violence and the bubbling rage of teenage boys, I thought about the way we wrote about the paralysis and fear of being a queer girl in that same kind of world. While his boys turn their rage outward, we focused our violence inward, on the most tender parts of ourselves. Ben’s writing opens a door to understanding something about my own experience of those adolescent years. He sheds light on the parents and teachers whose complicated lives indelibly haunt our own, in ways we don’t realize until we become adults. It seems much of our public conversation revolves around what to do about and with men,

The Topeka School is a thrilling response. All of that to say, I think Ben’s book is a smash.

JUNE 3, 2009 1. The Flamethrowers by Rachel KushnerI was so captivated there was no choice but to finish it entirely in one long stretch of days. Passages so beautiful that I found myself re-reading them over and over again in amazement. I think it was in the Harpers Magazine review that they called it feminist and sexy. It’s true. An entirely fresh and inspiring heroine. 2. Light Years by James SalterSo many tears; on the tarmac, on the subway, tucked in my bus bunk. I will cherish this book forever. It is 40 years old and that made the discovery so much more powerful. It’s also a good reminder that I am sentimental and a romantic no matter how hard I try to resist those urges. I’ll cozy up with my tears any day, you can’t shame me! 3. Tenth of December by George SaundersThere aren’t very many writers with a body of work I love so completely. But, I think this is my absolute favourite. I have total admiration/awe for a mind this strange and wonderful

#tegan wrote a song for this book called Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs #it sounds like it could be in the con #you can search it on youtube it's there #there's some * asteriks cause she spoke mo #more about those #or liked them more #Sara Quin #tegan and sara #i'm sorry if i'm spamming tns tags with so much text i only have like 5 posts to make i swear #i've had this shit in my notes for like literally 10 years #from like #and stuff from their insta story or other things #interviews #SKQREADS #arrested development and the crown are both so good #and Moonlight

Join us as #TinginFilmFest makes its return to the Red Carpet Cinemas, Shangri-la Plaza Mall, from September 22 to 24, 2023, and on Vimeo from September 29 to October 1. 🎥🍿

BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS TRACE the origin of romantic love to the love of the mother for her offspring. Today romantic love has become what Eva Illouz calls the "fundamental core of modernity." Following numerous requests, this year's Tingin Southeast Asian Film Festival explores the region's conventions and modern reinventions of relationships and intimacy. Renata Rossi and David West identify two schools of thought on romantic love: the first as a "conservative impulse," the second, a catalytic force. Romantic love tends to reinforce oppressive gender relations, and marriage only entraps women in the reproductive sphere to fuel a productivist model of development. For others, love tears down the boundaries of class, skin, and even faith. The very idea of the romantic partner as "the other half" suggests one's completeness via love. Early societies were mostly polygynous. With surplus, monogamous marriages came about to ensure purity of the genetic line ostensibly for inheritance or wealth preservation. Budding (or resurrected) ideas such as polyamory and romanticism disrupt the cultural script of coupledom. Cheshire Calhoun even goes as far as to say that relationships are no more than a mimicry of heterosexuality and its rituals. Biologically, Homo sapiens has embraced monogamy-arguably the end game of romantic love-because of evolutionary benefits. Matt Ridley finds that faithful mates leave behind more progeny, discouraging the formation of harems: "The species is [thus] taken over by monogamy." Cinema has produced a prodigious output of films about romantic love. For some time, the romantic comedy even became a dominant film genre. West balks at this as the "endless commercial recycling of entertaining fantasies by the 'culture industry." But romantic movies have a more durable if unsung virtue: "Romantic sentiments resist the economistic, rational calculus that has colonized other spheres of daily life," say James Dowd and Nicole Pallotta. Romantic love can be a harbinger of transformation. Romantic love can be subversive because a union with another person is driven by intrinsic impulses, not extrinsic forces, according to Anthony Giddens. Relationships are being remade by emerging ways of sociality; romantic love has the power to alter the private sphere into a place of equanimity. This is especially poignant for women, who, in prehistoric times, used to be abducted for marriage. Diane Ackerman recounts how a typical tribesman in certain cultures sought the help of a male friend (his "best man") to kidnap a bride. For bell hooks, love must ultimately be grounded in community, the only modality-beyond coupledom or individualism-that can sustain life. For her, the extended kin, far more hospitable to human flourishing than the privatized nuclear family, must be redeemed. Zygmunt Bauman's idea of "liquid love" exposes the essential fragility of romantic unions in the 21st century, resulting in the commoditization of human beings (as what occurs on dating apps, swiping right or left based on the most facile and fleeting of judgements). Can romantic love be a vessel or trigger for individual and collective emancipation? In his book In Praise of Love, philosopher Alain Badiou offers an answer: "Real love is one that triumphs lastingly, sometimes painfully, over the hurdles erected by time, space, and the world." From BL (boy love) romances to introspective dramas, this year's selections from the region's vibrant cinemas capture a composite picture of Southeast Asia in love.

Magaganap ang Tingin Film Festival sa ika-22 hanggang ika-24 ng Sityembre 2023.

"Count."

Hard strikes finds your ass in an immaculate speed, that is the nature of Levi's punishments. He can't have you being a brat, he can't afford it. So he spanks you, not just your ass but your dripping pussy and your throbbing clit. He has a tendency of never letting you understand the pattern of his movements. He loves seeing you flinch when he misses his rhythm. He loves seeing your legs jump when his hand finds the back of your thighs. He loves when you stutter and try your best to keep track of his spanks. He loves the expression in your eyes, begging for him to stop, begging for him not to put on his leather glows that creates a pretty sound when they meet bruised your skin.

"How many?"

"Levi..." You cry, teary eyes find his steal ones. "I-"

He yanks your hair up. "I said how many?"

"Thirty three, Levi!" Your scream feels like a mermaid song to his ears. "Thirty three!"

He lets your hair go, adjusts his gloves. "11 left.." he says. "11 left until I spank the brat out of you."

Leather meeting skin and your screams. The orchestra is ready for Levi to paint your ass in every shade of red.

Remedy

Pairing: Mikasa Ackerman/Levi

Rating: Mature, NSFW

Summary: Perhaps neither of them expected that a single affair would sustain such length when the other induced the other.

AO3 , FF

A / N: I have finally finished it!! God, a lot has happened on my side so I am so relieved that the hype and spark were still there despite the constant deferral. This is my first official work so it's bound to have holes but I hope it is to your liking. I wanna do this, this is it. I want to keep going. And I hope to write more soon.
