fic title: No Expectations

hi michelle! thank you for the ask <3

my first thought was fwb, but that feels a little obvious so how about..... they're both in their mid/late 30s, exes that have broken up multiple times over the years, and they've just decided to get back together, to try things one more time. they're older now, different people, and they'd like to think that they understand each other better, in light of that.

the catch is they've decided to go into it with zero expectations on both sides and if it truly doesn't work this time, they'll call it quits for good.

send me a made up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write

I will say it is hard to be nice to people here when so much of casual tumblr vernacular is just… inherently hostile. Some of you genuinely do not seem to understand that there are alternatives to flippantly insulting strangers.

if Broadway doesn’t want bootlegs floating around then they need to get their act together and make legal recordings.  you can say all you want that theater is meant to be enjoyed live, but the fact of the matter is not everybody can get to NYC to go to a Broadway show.  not everybody can afford to take the time off of work and buy a plane ticket to NYC and buy a night in a hotel AND get the ticket to the show.  people want to see the shows, that’s why there’s a bootleg market in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone has the time, money, and ability to make it out to the one place in the world to see something on Broadway, especially if it’s a limited engagement.  so record that shit, slap some subtitles on it, and sell it so we can buy it legally.

Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

verso books has made books on palestine, mass protests, and student rebellions free to download on their website

i wish i could say this more eloquently but watching these college solidarity encampments popping up around the world… watching university faculty use themselves as shields to protect their students from the police… watching these students put their own safety on the line to demand divestments… i’ve never seen anything like it, and every update moves me to tears.

The flip side of the post-World War II cries of “Never again” was an unspoken “Never before.” The insistence on lifting the Holocaust out of history, the failure to recognize these patterns, and the refusal to see where the Nazis fit inside the arc of colonial genocides have all come at a high cost. The countries that defeated Hitler did not have to confront the uncomfortable fact that Hitler had taken pointers and inspiration on race-making and on human containment from them, leaving their innocence not only undisturbed but also significantly strengthened by what was indeed a righteous victory.

(im so sorry i had to repost this 😭😭)

agent reyes the man that you are 🫶

The moment they breach the warehouse, Carlos realizes they’re woefully underprepared, with backup nowhere in sight. Cunningham’s men are on them almost immediately, and Carlos is pulling his gun from his holster before he even processes it.

He sticks to the corner, climbing up a fire escape ladder and picking off agents from the back with the rifle strapped to his back. He tries to aim for a knee or a shoulder, trying to keep the carnage to a minimum. 

It isn’t long before these assholes realize who is shooting out people, and there’s a group of agents heading straight for Carlos, seemingly ready to pull Carlos off the ladder and put him down. Carlos shoots as many people as he can before he ditches the rifle, scaling down the ladder. 

Carlos drops to the floor, kicking his leg out, taking the man down in front of him, sending the other man’s gun scattering. He heaves as he stands up, clutching his side as he holds the agent down by the heel of his foot on his shoulder. “Are you going to stay down, or do I need to knock you out?”

The guy rests his head back on the floor, closing his eyes. Well, that answers that, Carlos thinks. 

He swoops down and picks up the asshole’s gun, wincing as it pulls at his ribs. He rolls his shoulders back and clicks the safety on, holstering it before taking stock around the room. 

Paul’s posted on the top edge, sniping people as quick as he can, and Grace is posted safely behind him, holding a gun of her own. Nancy and Marjan are fighting people back to back, and Carlos can see that the number of people they’re fighting are dwindling, due to Paul and his efforts. Carlos lets his guard down a little, pulling a smaller service weapon and clicking the saftey off.

[theghostofashton]

listening to fleetwood mac is like. i don’t know this song but let’s give it a shot. oh wait i do know this song. i’ve heard it a million times and always liked it, i just didn’t know the name. on some level i kind of assumed that song was just an ambient part of the world the way the sound of the wind or birdsong in the trees was but apparently it’s by fleetwood mac. neat.
