Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if it was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

"You know what's harder than Getting Better? Living Like That" is just the thesis for my whole shit going on right now honestly. You know what's harder than doing my physical therapy? Hurting All The Time. You know what's harder than addressing my gender dysphoria? Hurting All The Time

I'm Doing The Hard Thing and it's *easier* than how I was living before. If you make yourself feel better you will have more energy to spend on Getting Better. Nice inch nails - the upward spiral. Crawl out of your grave Thursday

It would be a really funny bit if Jesus won as 2026 Tumblr Sexyman. That's my propaganda. It doesn't have to be that this is not a Christian site. It would just be an insanely funny bit guys.

For the bit

rocky learning about last names is one of the most stressful days of grace's life on the way to erid.

it starts with them watching a movie, maybe the devil wears prada, and a little way through the movie rocky asks why miranda has two names. is it because she's more important?

grace, already anticipating a long conversation, says no, all humans have two names. everyone's just scared of miranda because her two names are really well known.

"grace have another name and not tell rocky?!" rocky asks, incensed. "what names mean, question? why two?"

"well," grace explains, "your first name is the name your parents give you at birth. usually people call you by your first name, especially if you're close. except in... some situations, i guess," he says, remembering stratt's vat. nobody had called him ryland there, but he still felt pretty close to all of them.

"and second name?" rocky prompts.

"right - last names correlate to your family. when you're born, you take your family name so that people know who you're related to. it also helps differentiate between two people with the same first name."

"so what grace last name, question?" rocky asks. grace blanches a little.

"uhh... grace is my last name, rock," he says, sheepishly.

"what?!" rocky yells. grace winces. "grace not tell rocky grace first name? grace not close with rocky? grace hate rocky?"

"no!" grace protests. "of course i don't hate you! don't say that!" maybe it's stupid, but grace does actually feel a little hurt by the insinuation.

"then why not tell rocky?!"

grace sighs. "i don't know, rock. i mean - when i met you i barely knew up from down, much less what my name meant to me. and i kept getting these memories and everyone kept calling me grace, and i just, i haven't been called ryland in so long it doesn't really feel like my name anymore."

rocky ruminates on this for a moment. then: "...ryland is grace first name, question?"

"yeah."

"rocky like grace better." grace deflates with relief. "yeah, me too, buddy."

"but," rocky says, "rocky want last name too now."

huh. okay, then.

"i guess i could figure that out," grace agrees. "we could give you movie rocky's last name? you wanna be rocky balboa?"

"mm, no," rocky says.

"okay, well we could go region based, i guess. where'd you grow up? i can make up something fitting, or i can look something up on my computer, i'm sure there's places on earth that are similar to places on erid -"

"no," rocky interrupts. "want grace."

"...huh?"

"rocky want grace last name."

grace is suddenly feeling very, very flushed. "you what??"

"last name is family name, question?"

"well, yeah, but -"

"and rocky grace family now. so rocky want grace family name!"

...well, when he says it like THAT, it's so much more innocent. grace... well, he agrees, because what else is he gonna say? that rocky should know that that that's as good as a marriage proposal?

no, that takes too much cultural context, and a longer conversation than he wants to have right now. easier to just let rocky have it. it's not like there'll be any consequences to bite him in the ass, right?

(wrong.)

Can we talk about the fact that Maul chose to give Devon specifically the half of his saber that was with him since TPM and which is supposed to be pretty precious to him, instead of giving her the other half? Man just goes around giving a thing that is supposed to be an extension of himself to a girl he wants to adopt. And I'm assuming that half will stay with her because we don't see Maul using it in Rebels.

Unless... I — as a not complete nerd about star wars — know that Maul kept Kenobi's lightsaber after TPM and coupled it with his old half after Lotho Minor, and i figure he still has it in the Shadow Lord. And it just makes it worse. That Maul would prefer to give his own instead of the saber of his sworn enemy he's very gay about who is presumed dead.

Qifrey +Alpha Headcanons+

Adult content implied below cut ^^ MANGA SPOILERS TOO

Well-mannered, patient, compassionate--- with his pack. He's one of those "he's not like other alphas" but no, he can be just as bad but give him a Reason to be first.

Scents the kids regularly so people know not to mess with them/that they have someone looking after them who will come over there in Moments if something goes awry. He does this by patting their heads or when he picks them up he'll rest his cheek on their head or something. He also scents Olruggio, but it's a more deliberate action: purposefully taking his wrists and rubbing them against each other or finding an excuse to touch Oly's neck as slyly as he can (he's not sly, Oly just stopped caring).

When he gets angry, it actually takes him a lot longer to cool down than his pack realizes because he makes homemade remedies to dial down his own scent after he's done scenting the kiddos (hiding in plain sight as their very protective guardian does wonders).

Olruggio has proposed a more intimate partnership in the past given their living situation and the pack they've made, but each time it's brought up the pieces fall too perfectly into place and Qifrey has to erase his memory to prevent the roots from becoming stronger. There's been two times he's accepted despite knowing he'd erase Olruggio's memory and he deeply regrets allowing himself those moments of a bliss he'll never actually receive. He pulled away after those times and could see how it hurt Oly despite him not saying anything, and he doesn't want to cause that to ever happen again.

For better or worse, he still dotes on Oly as much as he can as if he was his omega. Gifts him things, prescents blankets before throwing them in his room, makes him his favorite foods when he's near heat. He tries to be as accomadating and sweet as possible without allowing himself to be physically much closer than that.

He used to have a biting problem when he was younger: if he got frustrated, he'd bite his sleeve or a pillow and just kinda hold it there in his mouth. Beldaruit preferred it to him being a menace or destroying things like others in his position might do, so he left it. He does get a little embarrassed when Olruggio brings it up to tease him.

Self medicates for his ruts and stays in his room for a few days while Oly watches the apprentices. Once he asked if he could probably leave to not be a disturbance, but he quickly saw how Oly had taken it (he thought Qifrey was going to find a hookup), and Qifrey quickly dismissed the idea and now doesn't leave during ruts.
