everyday I’ve woken up now ready to fight the person who made that shitpost about Donna/Liz. I am LIVID.

[ballion]

Very important question for the #lesbians4donna gang ... there seems to be a shared head canon on what Donna calls her girls (sugar, sweet pea, honey, ect.), but what do they call Donna?

[aurescentis]

*taps mic* I have been summoned. *sorts through notes*

So, first of all, I’m obsessed with Donna calling her partner “sugar” (I might even have been the one to come up with that but not 100% sure) but really anything is hot when it comes from Donna.

As for the question posed: I think it heavily depends on her partner and she herself has no preference because her person is the focus. For example, my Donna’s wife OC Pat is a middle-aged lady who just calls people “love” and “pet” and “sweetheart” casually due to where she comes from so with donna she also uses those more typical British terms of endearments and donna loves it because she loves her. I haven’t gotten that far in the fic but she might come up with something original later when they’re an item, something insider-like that’s not necessarily common for a term of endearment.

if it’s a younger partner for Donna, I can imagine them calling her ma’am and her enjoying that. But I could also see “honey” for sweeter moments. so I think it’s also context-dependent. She’d probably be into gender neutral things too or even more male things like “sir” on occasion (yeah yeah not daddy op 😂). sugarplum is actually cute I could see her blushing. Maybe “babe” from a younger lover too? or “boss” I think I’ve used in a fic before too iirc. my lady is a classic for the non-gender neutral category.

In conclusion, I don’t think there’s a correct answers at just think Donna is obsessed with her partner and will be into anything they call her.

thanks for coming to my ted talk

*comes running back to the microphone* omg what about “HANDSOME”???? just popped into my mind. no I love this it’s perfect just her vibe have i used this before? i need to use it in the breakfast fic asap

Donna + hands in her pockets / FROM S03

[cannibalspicnic]

Me bypassing any annoyance at the lack of Donna in the last couple season finales:

[aurescentis]

includes FROM S4E10 spoilers!

look, something I need to get off my chest: yes, Marielle as a character didn't have much going on in the show BUT I find it abhorrently disgusting that people in all the from reddits are going like "thank god we're rid of her, now finally kristi can get with kenny" / "no longer cockblocking kenny"

bffr. Kristi was engaged to Marielle long before they ended up in Fromville. They had a long term relationship built not on a life or death situation but common interests, shared values, similar line of work etc. Kristi has known Kenny for how long? A couple of months at best? In which they simply grew fond of one another--and I do think the whole stuff was more on Kenny's side than Kristi's--and bonded in an extreme situation. And now Marielle, Kristi's fiancée (!), dies a brutal, horrific, traumatic death and you seriously expect her to hook up with Kenny the next day?

It's soooo homophobic, basically saying wlw relationships aren't valid and worth as much as straight ones. I'm already dreading that the show might go there but I'd be extremely disappointed. Kill your gays trope is enough, don't need that on top.

P. S. : no shade to Kenny, and also: he wouldn't

This is the perilousness of being a witch who consorts with mortals. Having knowledge they don’t, not being able to act on it or share it.

[aurescentis]

not us having the most intense thunderstorm & lightning the night of the FROM finale -- very fitting. and today the sky looked suspiciously like in ep 10 as well. Am I in Fromville? If so, where's Donna?

[ballion]

How do you approach portraying a character who constantly seems to suppress those emotions while still conveying the weight of what she's going through? It's a combination of doing the work of what's sitting underneath the conversation — which is sometimes easier to track than others for me. I've watched scenes where, after the fact, I go, "There was something there that could have held a bit more weight." But part of it is that I have an aspect of that in me. Liz tends to carry burdens — I'm not someone who goes, "Oh well." [laughter] If I drop into a burdensome situation, that's something my body shifts into quite readily — unfortunately for me.

One could watch the sun rise and set and it was beautiful, every damn time. That was the dirty thing about this place; it was too good at acting innocent before stabbing you in the back—and Donna could almost fall for it every single time. She’d watched the sunrise from the kitchen window after a long night staying up in case the fire started up again, busying herself with chores; tidying the kitchen, organising the pantry, washing dishes.

The last thing they needed right now was people going rogue and setting things on fire, least of all her own people. It was enough that Kenny, Dale, Jade and Kristy were going out foraging in the middle of an impromptu winter, all because Jim fucking Matthews had gone on one of his stupid excursions and thought he’d struck gold. Finding Tabitha shouldn’t be his priority right now, his damn kids should be. The kids she had to look after now and reassure they wouldn’t be orphans by dawn. This was a bad time to have to worry about a new arrival, one who she’d proudly proclaimed they wouldn’t have to worry about, and it would be easy to blame Lisa for stirring things up, but no, it wasn’t easy. Lisa was her responsibility and she deserved the same grace every new arrival before her had been granted. It wasn’t her fault that she got trapped here at the worst imaginable time. If anything, Donna had failed her, and she’d have to make up for it somehow—not only to avoid another wildfire.

“Can I have—” Victor started, then stopped abruptly and looked around the kitchen. “It’s different.”

Donna hadn’t heard him coming down and startled, but caught herself quickly. She’d spent almost a year hiding in holes in the ground from monsters every night but still jumped when someone walked in on her—the irony.

“Yeah, I, um, spent the night tidying,” she told him, leaving the window and approaching him. “You’re up early. What’re you lookin’ for?” 

“My-mh peaches.”

“There’s not much left, Victor… You sure you wanna have them now?”

“I want peaches.”

“Okay, then,” Donna said calmly. Victor was restless, which was never a good omen. He had instincts regarding this place none of them could understand and a lot of them disregarded as the musings of a lunatic, but Victor was not that. “I’ll go get ‘em for you.”

“Okay,” he said expectantly.

Donna went into the pantry and took one of the last four canned peaches out from a box she had hidden for Victor behind other supplies. In the beginning, little else other than those canned peaches could calm his meltdowns until Donna had learned how to talk him down. She missed those times in some twisted kind of way, when it was just day-to-day survival and not whatever this mess was. Trying to get out of here no matter how many lives it would cost. The pretence of normalcy, her little kingdom, the bonds they all shared.

“Here you go,” she said, giving the can to Victor.

“Hm-thanks,” he said, taking the peaches into both hands, holding on to them tightly. He looked at the label for a long time, hesitant.

“Something wrong, sweetheart?”

Victor turned his head from side to side as if stretching his neck to work out a kink, working his lips. “The trees,” he said finally, “they—they’re upset.”

“You mean the fire? You’re worried about the fire?”
