“The saddest thing for me, maybe in this whole show, was watching Eleanor reach out to people in different ways. She kind of systematically goes through the family looking for help. The episode was kind of built this way, once Arthur was out of the picture. Even when she was in the car with Luke, he asks her how she’s doing and she answers him. She doesn’t like to be at home alone. She hears things at night. She sees things. And he interrupts her. She reached out to Theo and Theo wasn’t really listening. The tragedy of Eleanor, for me, more than anything, is that there are numerous opportunities throughout this episode in her interactions with her siblings, with everyone in her family, that probably could have saved her. That is the kind of stuff I find the most haunting.” - Mike Flanagan making me cry even more over Nell’s story during his commentary for Episode 5 of The Haunting of Hill House

Just dropping this here for all of you when you come across the inevitable ‘How does he pay for that??’

YAAASSS!!!! Sometimes it starts as just staring…. but then you get the creeps who will follow you. Be aware of your surroundings and if you see something happening/happen, don’t be afraid to “get in the line of sight” or saying something!

So many dudes are freaking out about this and it’s beyond funny because this is pretty much every woman’s fantasy reaction to creepy dudes being assholes from the age of like 10 on up. Like 80% of us would do this every time given the slightest chance of getting out of it alive

A heartfelt message for the PM from Nelligen RFS (via jwwr on twitter)

[theroyaltenenblarghs]

Australian of the year.

The prime minister defunded the rural fire service by about a third before fire season.

He’s ignored climate change reports from as far back as 2007 that estimated 2020 would have the worst bushfire season we had ever seen.

He tried to force a rural firefighter volunteer to shake his hand, after being rejected he said “oh he must have just been tired.”

The man had just lost his house while trying to save others houses.

This is a tiny portion of a long list of things that the Australian prime minister has done to hinder the rural fire service which has cost human lives, the lives of 500 million animals, peoples houses and properties, people’s livelihoods and over 5 million hectares of land and everything on it.

Scott Morrison can get fucked.

[sleeposaurus]

today (10th jan, 2020) over 100'000 australians got organised, marched and shut down the streets of our major cities in direct support of Scott Morrison either stepping down, or being removed from office.

The people are calling for it - Scott Morrison can and WILL get fucked.

PSA

You know what bothers me the most about how little coverage the Australian fires are getting?

I could mention that 18 people are now dead, several are missing and over 1000 homes are lost. All at the start of a new year. +3 million hectares of land is gone. People feel a little bit of empathy, maybe they'll reblog this or give it a like, but they'll give it no second thought.

But if I were to make a post just solely about the fact that 500 million animals have been killed in these fires, including 30% of all koalas meaning they're close to being functionally extinct, people would share the fuck out of it. They would start GoFundMe pages, they would guilt people into reblogging shit with the classic, "if you don't reblog this you don't have a heart." You know that trope yeah?

You all fucking shoved posts about the Amazon fires down our throats. "Oh but they were deliberately lit on Native land." You don't think we understand that? Do you know that is exactly what's happened here? As a woman of Aboriginal descent, do you get how upsetting it is for me to watch my country burn? To watch my friends houses burn to the grown whilst they're left to flee to the beach in hope's of not being burnt? Do you know how upsetting it is to think that the house that I grew up in probably won't be standing in a couple days? All because the RFS are not allowed to backburn because of politics. Politics who don't understand a single fuck about anything that is happening.

Every night I have to try my hardest not to break down in front of my family because I am so upset and so angry about this whole situation. Men and women are out there fighting this fire, missing out on time with their family, time at work meaning they can't afford to feed their family either, they miss out on holidays too.

My brother was sent on a strike team up to Sydney for Christmas. He almost didn't make it back for New Years, even when he got home, he was so tired to go out so him and I stayed at home and played the PS4. And what makes me angry is that some families out there don't see their brothers come home, their sons, their fathers, their sisters, mothers, daughters.

Because people are dying.

And no one other than Australians give a single fuck!

Canberra currently ranks at number 8 for worst air quality in the world right now. The elderly in nursing homes are being evacuated and have nowhere to go. People were jumping in lakes, were swimming out into the ocean to get away from the fire as it started to burn the beach.

And what does our Prime Minister do?

He arrives at fire impacted towns, in a nice and expensive 100k BMW, to give his thoughts and prayers. Not aid, not water and food, not money. But thoughts and prayers.

"I'm sure he's just tired."

"No, no. He lost a house."

"Oh."

How more insensitive can the fucker get? This isn't a Prime Minister. This is a disgrace. May I also mention we are in our worst drought yet but "we" just sold 409 million dollars worth of drinking water overseas.

I am begging all of you by this point. Please, help out our victims of fire and drought. Donate to whatever causes you can, search the internet, I'm sure there are plenty out there. Donate packs of water, toiletries, food that doesn't spoil, socks, sleeping bags, anything.

Every small gesture you do makes a big impact on somebody who lost everything.

So, Australia is on fire. My family and I watched hours of news today. The only thing on our local news other than the fires, was the weather. Which strangely enough is about fires.

For the first time in my memory, my mum and I talked about our fire plan. It’s basically humans and dogs in the car, plus the fire proof box with the passports. The last time we had a fire plan was 2002, when my mum was the last car allowed along a road. The fire passed behind her. In 2003, we were overseas but my parents remember the news cycle about it. I was 7 when my city burned.

Canberra had the worst air quality for a major city in the world. People on the coast were facing 6 times that. There are no P2 masks left. My dad had to wear a mask at work, he works indoors. My mum and I have been wearing them outdoors and to walk our dogs, who have cabin fever and were getting very sad. I couldn’t see 50m in front of me driving home the other morning. The smoke is getting in our houses. And we’re lucky, because the territory isn’t on fire, yet. Some idiots decided to ring in the new year setting grass fires up in the south and people had to evacuate.

I can think of many choice words for the Prime Minister as I watch the news, only to discover he’s not planning on reforming climate change legislation and action. We are burning, people are dying, we’ve lost half a billion fauna and flora to this. Species we will never know existed have fried. People nearly died on beaches, had to get in the water with their children to stay safe. And the man in charge of the country says he doesn’t want young people to be anxious about their futures. We are not going to have a future. 

It is BARELY January, the country has been on fire since September. We have a long, hot summer to go. We call family members to check they’re ok, we plan evacuations, we try to find masks, we put out water for wildlife, we watch, and everything burns. Everywhere I went on holiday as a child to the beach is gone or going. Where my dad grew up, thousands of people are stuck. Our loved ones are getting stuck on Shelter in Place because Watch and Act didn’t stand a chance against the wind changing. One person has had to be evacuated five times because the fires just keep coming back for more.

But there are good news stories, the massive fundraiser for the koalas, Mogo Zoo didn’t lose a single animal because of their incredible zookeeper team who left their own houses to burn while protecting their residents. People are opening their homes, we know a chicken farmer giving away their eggs, donations are pouring in. Australians are tough and they have good hearts. Australians will find a way, any way, to get through this. We;ve got the incredible fire fighters on our sides, we’ve got waterbombers, defence relief, backburners, and civilians with buckets and hoses. So people will make it through, somehow. 

The government needs to take note, we need climate change reforms. We need backburning performed adequately long before fire season hits us. We need more funding to our firefighters, career and volunteer. We need you to listen to how outraged and hurt the people are. How scared we are. How sad we are, because we shouldn’t be crying watching the news. My mum shouldn’t have her heart broken with more stories about injured animals. My grandmother overseas shouldn’t be beside herself with worry. Children shoudln’t be sheltering on and in the water. People should not be watching their lives burn. 

Support your RFS, your CFA, your local fire crews, the SES, the defence personnel. Support people who are doing things about these fires. But ask your members of parliment, your representatives why nothing was done, and how we ended up in this mess.

The Clexa Fic List That No One Asked For

I’ve been re-reading a lot of my favorite Clexa fics and figured to put them all in a list in case anyone hasn’t read any of these BRILLIANT CLASSICS. Enjoy, y’all!

—

Quality Ingredients by HurricaneJane/@thatonewherelexasachef - Boy, oh BOY. This is the first Clexa fic my thankful eyes had ever laid upon. HJ’s writing is absolutely spectacular here. It’s a brilliant AU where Lexa is a chef and Clarke is a doctor and they meet because OF A BLOODY HAND DUE TO ROAN (Hellooooo 3x04!!). The fic isn’t finished, but I do have hopes that maybe one day it will be. I’ve re-read it 3 times. 

Coeurastronaute/@coeurdastronaute Fics:

Kiwi - Lexa is a hottie rockstar/musician and meets Clarke on Tinder. It’s a cute piece of fluff that I’m dying to have updated. I haven’t read it in quite some time, but it’s on my list of things to re-read. Coeur is an AMAZING writer, their stories never fail to please.

Essays In Existentialism - A VAST collection of one-shots or shorter 2 - 3 parters from Coeur. Lots of amazing content here. If you’re looking for some AU, you got it. Canon, you got it. Fluff, you got it. Angst, you got it. If you’re down for any kind of Clexa read, I suggest just doing down the list.

Footy - Clexa AU where Lexa is the world’s best soccer star. She meets Clarke by chance, and a little bit if fate keeps bringing the girls together. This is a cute, fluffy piece, and coming off the World Cup, I dove right in for a re-read. The status of this one is still WIP, but like the rest, I’m truly hoping for an update.

Except You Love by @theproseofnight - Words can’t even begin to describe the quality of writing in this story. If you’re looking for a super angsty, slow burn that could possibly shatter your heart a million times over, this is the read for you. If you haven’t read it, I promise it is really well worth it. The story was just completed (god bless) last month and it seems that @theproseofnight is working on a piece similar (holy shit, can’t fucking wait). This is a must.

This is Heaven in Hiding by @orangeyouglad8 - Holy moly, angst, fluff, and smut all rolled into one juicy story. Lexa and Clarke work in similar fields and H.A.T.E. each other. I don’t want to give much away, but if you haven’t read this one, I really suggest it. The flow of the story is quite fantastic. I’ve re-read it once and it definitely won’t be the last time.

In Love in War and Politics by @centuriesofexistence - This one is fantastic and probably next on my re-read list. Clarke is running for senate and Lexa is her campaign manager. It’s a BRUTAL race with her opponent and the pair working so closely together leads to some Clexa sexa. Highly recommend it.

A Pleasant Undoing by @mopeytropey - This one is a personal favorite because of their occupations. Feels a bit close to home! Clarke is a bar manager and Lexa works for a brewery. The two meet because of work and the crushing and pining is super cute. I finished this one so quickly because the pace was amazingly set. This is definitely on my re-read list!

The White Queen Running by KL_Morgan - I think this is actually the only canon-ish fic I have on this list. To be honest, I’m not big on canons, I’m a HUGE AU kinda gal. Anyway, a good friend had bugged, and bugged, and bugged me to give this one a shot. I’m so fucking happy I did. The writing is exquisite, absolutely exquisite. I’m honestly not sure how to describe this one, I was pretty confused in the beginning, but then realized I was supposed to be confused. Just take my word for it and read it, mmkay?

Catch Me, I’m Falling by @clexa-hsau (two very talented writers) - The HSAU of all HSAU’s. Lexa and Clarke couldn’t dislike each other more, but little Aden does some matchmaking and helps the two realize that maybe they’re meant to be? Bit of angst, lots of fluff, and lots of sequels/one-shots to follow. I haven’t gotten through all of the one-offs, but they’re all definitely on my life. READ THIS.

Living on a Fault Line by anddirtyrain - Holy hell. Holy angst, holy slow burn, holy hell. This was recently recommended to me on here because I was asking for a fic that would hurt my heart the way “Except You Love” did, and this recommendation did not disappoint. Clexa are divorced with a daughter and this story shows the struggles of co-parenting when love still lingers. I recently just got my best friend to start reading this one and love every “WTF” text I get when she’s reading it. It’s amazing.

Lullaby Without You. by LJT - This is a heart-wrenching one. It really pulls at your heart. Clexa are married, but Clarke wakes up from an accident with no recollection of who she is. Lexa comes to the hospital every day to try and help her wife remember, while still having to take care of their son who very much misses his other mom. This one isn’t complete, but I’m reaaaaally hoping for an update.

Polis 433 by @ecfandom - AH, hot fire fighter Lexa and nurse Clarke. This one is a slow burn FO SHO. Clarke’s house has a super faulty fire alarm which sends Lexa to hear house on a weekly basis. Clarke’s kid takes a liking to Lexa, leading to Clarke taking a liking to Lexa. It’s all just so, so great. It’s being actively updated (the most recent update being this past week, WOOOP). Start it and subscribe to it and love it.

Grand Slam Thank You, Ma’am by @femininenachos - Nothing gets to me like a sporty Lexa. Let me present you with hottie tennis player Lexa and her hottie physio Clarke Griffin. It’s smutty and it’s fluffy and now that we’re in tennis season, I’m going to be reading this whole thing from cover to cover again.

—

A little shameless self promotion goes a long way, right? Below are three pieces I have on Ao3 as LostAndDelirious.

Maple Bourbon Candles - Clarke and her friends are on a 10-day trip up north during the winter and meet the small town’s general store owner, Lexa. They bump into each other after their initial meeting and start hanging out and Clarke finds herself to be a babbling mess around the girl. Not gonna lie, it’s pretty fluffy and kinda cute. It’s a WIP but I’m regularly updating it.

13 Clans - I’m a bit in love with writing this story at the moment. Lexa “The Commander” Woods works for a spirits company, heading up the marketing division. The company merges with a few others, and enters an influx of new people in the office, including Clarke Griffin who is now heading up events and sponsorships for all their brands. There are a lot of happy hours, a lot of drinks, and a lot of traveling. It’s a bit of a slow burn, especially because Lexa is kind of a bitch, but the two find that they don’t always get on each others nerves. WIP and regularly updated, I actually just posted the most recent chapter earlier this afternoon.

Why Do You Think It Feels This Way? - This one’s a one-shot. There are a few fluffy moments, but the overall theme is far from fluff. Clarke and Lexa are both fresh out of heartbreaking relationships and meet because of mutual friends on a weekend trip to a lake house. They find a bit of solace in each other over the course of the weekend and well, just read it to find out the rest.
