I love sibling relationships. In fiction and irl. But especially in romances.

I love that there is this person who, up until the third act, has been fairly peripheral; but then in the scene before the dénouement they're there telling the dispairing protagonist to sort themself the fuck out and do something. Idiot.

And because they’re siblings they don't bother about being polite about it

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Eliot will not kill, if he doesn't have to. Last resort, and he has a lot of creative ideas to go through first. Unless it's for Parker. If Parker asks him to, he's got a few ideas. I mean, they made her cry. What's he gonna do? Say no?

"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care

I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.

I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.

Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.

OUaT/Voyagers! mash-up: Emma and Henry travel through time putting history right. Emma's the muscle and Henry's the brains (because he actually read the book). Sorry, no Regina because she'd quickly and efficiently sort out the problems with history and there'd be no story. And she'd stop Emma making out with each adventure's heroine. And she'd be pointing out all the colonialism and racist and patriarchal systems being violently imposed upon the societies they visited. And maybe she'd start rewriting history herself, to establish a Now that was egalitarian and equitable for all holy shit have i just reinvented Timeless

This is easily the most interesting take I've ever seen discussing why the older generations seem to struggle so much with the discussions and changes with gender identity, and I think it's absolutely worth reading.

Obviously it doesn't cover 100% of intolerant people, but I think it explains a decent chunk tbh.
