I Don't Care If He's Moderate And Not The Worst Option. The USA Did Not Need Another Reason To Think

Aperol spritz,, conclave rewatch and writing chap 7 of Oh, good god, let me give you my life,,, can life get better?? (https://archiveofourown.org/works/65218507)

ok I just received the Autobiography of Mr. Spock and holy fucking shit

the section about kirk fully made me throw the book down, walk away, and lay on the floor for about 5 minutes

we have obviously "I have tried on many occasions to write about Jim Kirk. This seems to me an increasingly impossible task. Jim Kirk lies at the very heart of this account; he is present on every page, the ink in which these words have been written...How do you write about someone you have so deeply loved?" Which is just the most romantic and beautiful thing I have read in my life.

we also have "He changed the rules so that people would live. Jim was very bad with rules. Sometimes that could be irritating. More often than not, it was exhilarating."

the one that made me bawl "That letter took a while to reach me, and I often think of it, in transit, containing the news that Jim was both alive and dead. That was the only time that I regretted my mission to Romulus, and I did regret it, bitterly. If only I had been present, somehow. Perhaps I might have saved his life, again (although he told me, once, that he would die alone). Was that not what we did, after all-save each other's life, again and and again? At the very least, I might have seen him, one last time. I have not been to see his grave. I believe I can permit myself one illusion in life." which just...holy FUCK

(you will see him again spock I swear 😭)

and the one that hit me like a brick, referring to the first time he met Jim, "I recall that Jim's face like up, with a smile like the sun. 'I think,' he said, 'that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.' He was not wrong."

these motherfuckers i need to be sedated like yesterday

The newly elected pope watched Conclave (2024) before the conclave (2025). We are witnessing strange yet beautiful times

I will have you know that I am rotating your conclave fic in my mind 24/7 and i'm obsessed with the way you write characters and use symbolism. it's all very tasty and hurts extremely nicely. vincent is a delight and i want to give him a good nap and a nice meal and a kiss from his crush that doesn't occur in an active trauma dream.

i am also here to do my sacred duty and let you know that if you want another piece of media with heavily autism-coded characters who are unreliable narrators and fantastic people with immense trauma and unhinged types of fealty, i highly recommend The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard.

Ooooh my god I cannot even explain how this makes me feel,, I’m genuinely so thankful that people are enjoying my work! I screenshot every comment I get and send some to my friends wondering how it’s possible that people are So kind!

I definitely plan to let Vincent have a nice nap and a warm meal at some point, God knows he needs it (and God does in fact KEEP TELLING HIM that)!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for the recommendation, I will definitely check it out once I’m a bit less hyperfixated on conclave! I’m always looking for new books to read!

Once again, you can’t imagine how happy this message made me (I dropped my phone to happy stim by flapping my hands from joy) Have the best day anon ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WIP - trying out some other brushes 🥸

words of affirmation i repeat on the daily

If we can all agree to call Robert Prevost by his new chosen name of Leo XIV then we can all call trans people by their chosen names. It’s not hard.
