Tableaux, VI. THE LAST SUPPER (1495) – Leonardo Da Vinci

Disclaimer: Malin Rydén's freaks inspired me to write this. Context: It's FINALLY divorce time, BABY!! Two years after Retribution, Romare (still mostly incognito as a villain) is invited to wine and dine for Thankgsgiving at Ortega's, though they're definitely not dating Herald anymore. I'm sure this won't sour the evening. Post break-up psychic damage and political freak-outs ensue. What to expect: This time around everyone is here (Julia, Argent, Steel, Sentinel included), and most of them are of course huge dickheads. This is a chunky piece, if you read this through you are my personal hero and I appreciate you very much.

2023. November. (ROM)

You lean on the guardrail. You take a gulp. Your mouth burns. Your mouth burns, and it’s good. It’s good. What else—tell me, what else burns? Not you. Maybe you. Not this, though. Not enough. Not enough yet. Everything should burn. Everything should burn.

Below, the city dances with lights through the violet smog.

“I fucking hate Thanksgiving,” you reply in English, holding the flask out; she takes it. She takes it, and her shoulder is warm against your shoulder, and when she laughs you feel your face itch around an answering smile.

“¿Qué es lo que no odias, mi vida?”

“A ti,” you shoulder back.

“Aw…” she croons around an easy swig. “Did I hear that right? You love me? You love me. You said it.”

“I definitely didn’t. Sounds like the next step is hearing aids, old woman.”

Look at you go. You almost sound convincing, acting like you don’t know about her augments. Acting like nothing has changed. Acting like she can still pull your hair, flick your ear, still dodge your slap, still make you laugh, still squeeze you close.

“I love you too.”

You push her back. You look away. No—you close your eyes. In the metal of the flask, her grin was still shining.

“Yeah?” you mutter. “But not enough to celebrate with me alone.”

You’re being an asshole; you’re the odd one out, not the other way around, you know that. But this isn’t a good night, and the scab looks good enough to scRatch.

“Thanksgiving is about friends. I don’t make the rules.”

You roll your eyes.

“That’s not what Thanksgiving is about…”

“Okay, Rom. Spare me the polit—”

“And they’re barely your friends.”

That does shock her out of teasing.

“Of course they are. And your friends too.”

“Sure,” you snort. “Chen is my friend, Yuli. Never mind that he probably learned to dance the jig just so he can celebrate properly when I finally decide to smash myself on the pavement again—”

“Don’t.”

Around your nape, the hand has gone hard, and tense, and crackling. Electricity buzzes up your skull, a soft current, a nail raking on your scalp.

“Don’t joke about that. You’re not funny.”

#MY FAV #this was so so fun to read the first time i def think another reread is in order #it changed my thinking of post (partial) villain reveal A Lot #The tension between Rom and Daniel and Julia's well meaning ignorance its just delicious #this also served as partial inspo for a much sillier holiday related fic of mine. all steps are justified in hating holidays #and all the obligations they come with

in a way sidestep is a bit lucky they met with ortega again after ortega reached the 'being nice to my ghosts' phase bc oh boy if it was before i really can only wonder how absolutely horrible that would have gone

#yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees yesssssss i am shaking this idea in my teeth like a feral animal #i think about how hurt and angry Ortega was after heartbreak all the tiiiime #when they get sick of blaming themselves they lash out at Chen and even Step themselves #why didn't they just listen to them and stay behind like they asked? Why didn't they follow more closely on the stairs?#i think about all the things Ortega must have said to the ghost when they resented them. or to their grave #and how hard they have to separate the two now

as soon as the internet decided depression and anxiety were the everyman mental illnesses and therefore not to be taken seriously we were all fucked tbh bc the fact that i have to feel embarrassed to admit i have debilitating anxiety because people will think im just an uwu dont call me out coward is ridiculous. its insane that i have to clarify that my depressive episodes are like life threatening and not whatever dipshit dumbed down idea of depression people seem to have like oh yeah i just wanna watch netflix and eat ice cream and not text people back. like bro i think im the devil

leastniceperson

like maybe depression and anxiety are household names now but they do still kill people. like. theres a reason they fucking kill people.

#it dumbs these things down to just everyday things people deal with so much that people never seek help #because “everyone deals with background depression/anxiety” so why are you so damaged? This is what kills people #I'm still convinced nothing will help becasue thats just how it is #and in the same breath telling others its not even while recognizing the hypocrisy #these are real problems that if they don't kill someone outright can still develop into conditions that do #via addiction and other forms of self harm/self medication #treating these conditions as some social media flavor of the month helps no one

“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.

“It’s digestible”

rhea314

“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:

The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.” Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index. Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5] In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s. Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco. Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.

I have learned a new thing today.

soupwife

Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated

nianeyna

I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.

dancinbutterfly

but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!

Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.

mr-elementle

Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food

This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.

It’s a net profit of information. 12/10 post

when the characters you like get beat the fuck up

Consider ☝️

Argent running her claws through Tegan's hair. That is all.

#cuz im considering #very much so #is that good for his hair? probably not but it is hot so there's that #the whole point of giving an oc long hair is to have others play with it

im curious about a specific generational divide

regardless of you being queer or not, did your parents ever gave you the "if you turn out to be gay it would be fine" talk, before you ever had the chance to say anything on your own about that?

gen z, yes

gen z, no

millenial, yes

millenial, no

gen x, yes

gen X, no

baby boomer, yes

baby boomer, no

Remaining time: 4 days 2 hours

because it happened to me and im wondering if this was a product of the ongoing cultural change around gay issues. before i ever had the chance to say to my parents "i am this" my mom was already sitting me aside to tell me "if there is anything you want to tell me, i want you to know ill accept you no matter what"

#oooh no my parents did not even entertain the idea i could be queer #and when i came out as bi as an adult they were shocked and angry that I never told them #it was never brought up but so many signs were there its like they thought i was the token straight in a friend group of open queers #i had known i was bi since elementary school and had no real intention of hiding it but they were so angry i didn't tell them #being bi was fine but them realizing they didn't completely know me (which is ludicrous we dont talk for shit) was upsetting to them #which ironically is why i feel I can't bring up the gender stuff. they'd just get defensive #if you create an environment where I cannot be myself and then get mad when im not actually the facade ive developed/displayed my whole lif #what am i supposed to do with that?#and then there's the burden of explanation. i cant just say im nb or trans without having to justify and explain it to them #to “prove” im not who they assumed I was. its just exhausting #sorry these tags got rambly
