also btw that passage about media consumption as activism and the idea of "gayboring" (this post) are twin sisters to me because when you see media consumption as activism and therefore as a reflection of real life, any gritty or unsavory or "weird" aspects of any marginalized culture/community gets completely sanitized in favor of portraying an "ideal" form of that community in the eyes of consumerism (i.e.: boring and safe and non-confrontational)

into the deep end - 30k T orufrey fic, focusing on memory trauma, disability, and romance.
the sweet oblivion of the victim, the poisoned freedom of the other.
for one moment - it had felt like two parts returned - the needed reunion of two disparate halves. no more secrets, no more pain.
the moment you get to give back what you never wanted to take. that moment, under the night-blooming flowers, when they had both let out the same single broken sigh of relief.
but they were never whole to begin with, were they?
qifrey swore he wouldn't say 'sorry' to this man any more if he could help it - sorry is cheap now. he didn't want to be in a position ever again where you only have 'sorry' left. so he just looks down into the threads of his blanket, strains his eye until it hurts, feeling his insides - his throat, heart and head - burn with pain. he expects more, but olly says nothing.
olly says nothing.

Okay so I'm in a real right spot at the moment so I'm gonna open up for a few regular commission slots!
Anything is on the table just no full backgrounds! I don’t normally advertise commissions over here but I’ve been unable to properly work for a while due to looking after my family’s animals :’)
I truly don’t know how tumblr deals with posts with links but I’m shooting my shot where I can so here’s the form and my carrd that has all my prices and info if you’re interested! Reblogs are very much appreciated!

What's terra ignota?
It's a science fiction series by Ada Palmer about a 25th century Earth which thinks itself a peaceful utopia, and its descent into chaos as the cracks in that utopia start to appear. It is somehow both deeply profound and the most bonkers, complicated thing to explain and I love it so much, it's my favourite series.
Features:
18th century larping
Magic 13 year old with Toy Story powers
The worst and most pathetic guy imaginable
Extremely serious discussions about religion, gender, freedom, peace, politics etc. etc.
Pokemon are real
It's definitely not for everyone and very stylistically weird, which some people are going to love and some are going to hate. I recommend taking the first chapter at face value, I find it a pretty accurate snapshot of how the story will feel to read, and if you're offput by it from the beginning, it's probably not going to get better for you.
But if you *like* that shit. :) get ready.
