like there's only so many times you can say "hey don't say that, that's rude/bigoted/a dogwhistle" before everyone just stops talking to you. nothing changes except you're alone now. ask how i know.
So that RGCU story I said I've had cooking also has had a family tree and prequal timeline this entire time
Have at it
Photo's for non-Goslings come from their respective actors, and the ones without canon actors are ones I think look most similar to said characters before they died (that's why Elinor looks younger than Paul). Though the two N/A's mostly look how they did when they were plot relevant in the past, neither of them really get more than mentioned when they do come up in the story, I just like having faces to them when I'm thinking of backstories and stuff!
As for right now, so more like another week before I realize I forgot something, the timeline is complete and iF ONE MORE THING IS WRONG I'M GONNA-
I do wanna squeeze Luke in there somehow, but I think for him and others like Ken or Henry are just gonna have to be referenced or else I might never even start writing this
The problem with reading starstruck fics is that you don't know which storyline is going to doom them first so you just sit there awaiting the ticking time bomb
Um, I haven't really interacted in fandom like this since I was like... 12, so HANG IN THER-
I have had a Coltland Gentry story with ALL the fixing stewing for like 2 months. I'm talking Holly and Clair have parts, Sebastian, Jacob, and K, GUS (Gus, Karen, and Margo don't get enough love in my humble opinion) are all there. Under the cut are short summaries about some of the characters leading up to Grace's return. And forwarding that these are half-baked notes already and I have yet to master punctuation.
Basically, it's about Ryland having this nagging feeling in the back of his head that there still is something not clicking in his memories, and Rocky and Adrian (reluctantly) encourage him to think about returning to Earth to figure it out. He does after a few more years on Erid, but well, after getting shot up into space against his will, he's not too excited about any government retrieving/welcoming him home.
Court's post Grey Man and taking care of Clair now as a blue collard worker, and he kicked himself into reuniting with Colt after finding out about Ryland. He couldn't leave his little brother alone, thinking them both dead when he could be there for Colt.
Colt's all but hammering on death's door before Court shows up, Jody and Dan just aren't enough anymore now that he'll never get to apologize to Ryland. And even while Court's there to hold him up, Colt feels a bitter kind of hope that Ry could also come back from the dead.
Uncle Holland has been really enjoying the last few years, Holly's back, him and Jackson... are still partners in solving crime despite age creeping up on them both, and he's definitely handling the deaths of half of his nephews VERY well. Until he hears Colt's alive, and now so is Court, and they both are a six hour drive away in San Fran. He doesn't want to mess up this opportunity again.
Driver/Casey hasn't been near the West Coast in two decades. He's really settled down out in this small, midwest town. No one asks about his background, the people are kind, and nosey, but Casey can deal with nosey. Showing up at his estranged half-brothers' door doesn't even seem to be the strangest thing they've seen.
Lars doesn't know the last time life has ever felt this alive. After marrying Margo, and with a lot of persistence from Karen and Gus, they all live in the main house along with his sweet niece Ellie, they have another brother who slots into their lives perfectly, and he's starting to really think about having a kid of his own! What do you mean family reunion at their house? That wasn't on the schedule.
Holly is a brilliant woman, which she chooses to use by following her father(s) into PI work. She just wishes her story didn't start with meeting a guy who'll leave her high and dry after three sons and years of estrangment with her dad. Still the bravest of them all though, she'll pick herself up, she didn't do all this work for nothing.
Umm, yeah, that's who I have the most on rn, I haven't seen Fall Guy nor Grey Man yet, or well most of the movies the characters I'm using are from, but my friend and I plan of having a Gossling marathon I'll be taking notes at
if i can impart any one piece of wisdom to y’all, it’s to, whenever possible, assume good intentions
assume people are trying their best, want to be good and treat others well, and that when their behavior doesn’t align with those goals, it’s because of outside factors that are pushing them to their limit
it’s hard to do, it doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s worth it
before anyone jumps in with an “op has clearly never worked in the service industry,” i work in a public facing library job
i have a patron who is mean as a snake. won’t respond when you greet her, barks orders at you, and is generally nasty
i couldn’t stand her & dreaded the moment she walked in the door, until i stopped one day & went “wow, to walk around feeling unhappy enough to treat people so horribly every day. what a difficult way to live.”
and so my tactics changed. i made a point to be extra kind & friendly to her. she changed her hair color one day & when i complimented her on it, she was very caught off guard & said “oh, thank you. my whole life i’ve thought i was ugly.”
now we’re at the point where she shows me pictures of watercolor paintings she made & says hi when she walks in the door. she’s not my favorite patron, but she’s perfectly okay. most unpleasant people aren’t inherently rotten, they’re just unhappy & coping with it poorly
assume people are always doing their best, even if their best happens to fall a bit short. assume good intentions
Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
Jobby is a lolicon. Jobby support shadman, a self-admitted pedophile. They took a song about a father's love for his infant daughter, changed the meaning to make it about a 22 years old misogynist and had a pedophiles supporter who draw sexualized little girls sing it. It's a song about loving your daughter and they made a straight male pedophile sing it. It's a song about finding joy and happiness in a marginalized community and they made an anti black edgelord sing it. They took every opportunity to deface this song within plausible deniability. They butchered a song by a black man and released the episode on juneteenth. They mocked police brutality towards pocs in their advertisements.
The reach tadc has is insane. This song is largely known for the version covered by jobby and recontextualized to honor an adult misogynistic queerphobic character. You should be disgusted. This should should be your wake up call. If you still give glitch and goose the benefit of the doubt, you're either in denial or you're okay with giving this song's legacy to racist pedophiles.
Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.
One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.
And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism
The Gray Man au where Hansen kidnaps Ryland and Colt to lure Court into giving back the hard drive, but Ryland and Colt escape on their own, sending Court, Hansen, and the C.I.A into a race to find them first.
Meanwhile Colt and Ryland are racing across Europe trying to figure out how to get back to California while questioning wth Court has been up to since he got out of prison.
yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric
Rocky you can't just say that.
I've been saving this Tiger Tiger reference in my pocket for awhile. And I missed my chance with warframe. So bloodmary you got cursed with it. Do actually read Tiger Tiger tho.
