a personal post

about my dead grandmother

so my grandmother died when I was 4, I don't really have any memories of her aside from her funeral

recently my mother gave me a cassette tape that my grandma had recorded before she died, and said that it had life advice or something on it, she'd never listened to the tape

do you know how hard it is to track down cassette listening tech these days? it's a pain in the ass is what it is

anyway this tape has been waiting for decades to be listened to and I finally figured out how to digitize it, and it's less than 2 minutes long. how anticlimactic.

2 things:

my grandmother was so catholic, most of what she said was telling me to pray and ask god and how good it is that i'm in a christian family (lol)

"I have so many things to tell you, but you'll have to learn them for yourself" which is simultaneously very funny and also so sad. but like this is so short a recording, can't you explain one thing?

also: she used my old first name (which I legally trashed a while back in favor of Kelly) and she didn't pronounce it the way i like. to be fair, there's a number of options and the one that I liked most is not the most common one. but it was like. damn, tu quoque?? nobody ever got that shit right, from when i was young?? oof.

also also: I was at the library to do the cassette tape, being helped by a library staff member with enby earrings and they/them pronouns in their sig block, and the next room over we could hear some dude loudly making a wildly anti-gay speech. we did not acknowledge it. it was a weird time.

This Author suspects at last nights ball Miss Mohan’s dance card was perpetually reserved by one Jack Abbot. How curious.

One of my favorite fairytale stories was the 12 Dancing Princesses and MY GOD a Pitt spin on that would go so hard

Right so the basis is that prior to the story, the queen died which opened the door for the nefarious evil princes to show up and start dragging the princesses into their evil world

We’ve got Adamson dying before the show, so check

And the guy that shows up who ultimately saves them? A tired old war veteran.

Jack Abbot is strolling in as we speak

He then unravels the mystery of what’s wrong with the princesses and breaks the spell and-

My goodness, there can be a confrontation on the roof when the oldest one– the leader– is overwhelmed by what’s happening. Jack talks him back to the safer side, reassures him that things are going to be alright now

And then they kiss

Keeping with the themes of the show, maybe the evil interloper is a private equity firm and they’re all like… moonlighting?

Which is perfect for Jack since he’s got to be up all night, tracking down their secrets, and honestly he finds comfort in the da (I have been hit with a heavy handed metaphor pickup truck and cannot finish that quote. Please hold)

Look besties I had that one Robin McKinley book and I reread it alot in school

the rabbot angst is so insane like that would not be an easy relationship. I knowww they both have crazy anxious avoidant attachment styles.

robby who wants to cling closer to jack because he's so desperate for him to stay, wants to know where he is at all times, if he secretly hates him. robby who can't stop thinking about leaving first, because if he leaves, he can't be left. not again.

jack who's been so lonely for so long without his wife, and couldn't bear the grief of losing another partner, so he's checking in with robby every half hour. unable to sleep at night, pressing his fingers to robby's pulse. are you still here. are you still alive. jack who's also terrified of letting himself be this close to someone because of his grief. because he really, really can't go through that again.

Second Verse (Not The Same As The First) by @rabbit-factory

Jack Abbot/Michael "Robby" Robinavitch

Summary: Jack is earnest. It seemed to be his only other setting, when sarcastic wasn't available. It means that the words, no matter how corny to Robby's more than a little jaded ears, ring true. Annoyingly.

"This is a shitty midlife crisis," Robby says mildly, twitchy in opposition to Jack's stillness, but the other man can smell blood in the water.

"Hey, cheaper than a Miata."

---

Robby finds himself spiraling when his latest relationship ends. Jack offers him a spot as a co-director at a local summer camp. Robby can't help but say yes.

washing dishes is evil because you go "oh fuck there's so many dishes this is gonna take foreverrr" and then you enter the dish abyss and emerge with your abdomen somehow covered in water and your hands all wrinky and then you look at the clock and what felt like half an hour was actually 10 minutes

dude oh my god victoria with a secret nsfw tumblr where she posts raunchy pictures of herself, from the neck down, and cassie’s following her there and has her notifications on, and they both don’t know that it’s each other. thinking about cassie leaving sweet anon asks, calling victoria her baby girl and sweetie pie and, after victoria’s nervous post about a kink she desperately is into, her daughter.

victoria finds out first—there’s a team building event at a pub and cassie left her phone on the table to go to the washroom. alone and bored, victoria posts a picture and cassie’s phone lights up with a notification that she posted.

she doesn’t figure out who’s cassie amongst her hundreds of followers so she weeds them out, luring cassie to reveal herself by dropping hints here and there about victoria’s work crush. no, not new, but someone she’s always liked and someone she now wants to share with her followers. she’s so sweet about her confessions, so needy and desperate, and cassie bites.

of course she does—this sweet girl she follows online is almost as good as the actual woman of her dreams. and, for a split second, amidst her internet crush’s confessions, cassie almost imagines that it’s actually victoria behind the screen. but there’s no way victoria would—she’s such a shy girl. this online thing? it would probably send her running to HR to report cassie and her perversion.

there’s no way that this girl’s victoria… right?

that is, until, one day, ‘fawn’ posts a picture. in nothing but cassie’s jacket. the same jacket that cassie lent to victoria just that afternoon.
