obviously we have the montage of shane getting ready so we know yuna wasn't in his room with him before the first hookup, but i am laughing about the idea of shane stressed as FUCK trying to get his mom out of the room after she stopped by to go over a new brand deal with him.

watching the clock and SWEATING because he doesn't have rozanov's number atp obviously so he can't text "HEY MY MOM IS HERE. CANCEL IT. CANCEL IT ALL. DO NOT COME UP HERE.", but yuna can read that Something is up with shane, so she's even less likely to want to leave him, so she's actually stretching this out LONGER trying to figure out if shane is just really nervous about this new brand or something and honey, did someone say something today? do i need to kill someone?

and shane is pulling out EVERY ounce of deception he has never consciously had to use on his mom before to just get her OUT. he doesn't even have time to fuck around with his outfit because he needs her to GO. in a moment of ABSOLUTE fucking desperation he says he feels sick and retreats to the bathroom and pours some water in the toilet so it sounds like he's puking, but he WAY overshot this one because now no WAY is she leaving.

which means ilya still knocks on the door.

and it's YUNA who answers.

ilya's whole body takes a screenshot.

and shane in the bathroom atp heard the door open, so he almost hits himself in the face with the bathroom door trying to get out and do...

what, exactly?

so they're now in this WILD three way standoff, and yuna is being polite about it but is clearly 'what the FUCK are you doing here?' and shane genuinely for a moment thinks his mom is about to find out that he was not only about to have sex, but he was about to have GAY SEX.

nope.

"sorry, i forgot i asked if he wanted to come up later and watch the game"

"what game is on tonight?"

*shane aol dial-up noises*

ilya jumping in because oops guess this is a group project now, taking a WILD swing in the dark based on something that was on a tv in a bar he snuck into a couple of weeks ago: "uh, cars. car racing."

"you two are going to watch...nascar?"

ilya, has never heard the word nascar in his life: "yes. sounds very interesting. i love...nascars."

yuna ends up leaving the room so they can...watch?? nascar???....but also shane has never been less turned on in his fucking LIFE.

they actually do end up talking because now shane is paranoid his mom is going to be in the hall watching and waiting to catch him in a lie, and the more nervous he gets about it, the more lowkey ilya is worrying about it, too, so they do actually end up spending a chunk of time together.

and it actually?? ends with them talking to each other?? and finding out they actually LIKE talking to each other???

[penandinkprincess]

GOD yuna doing a little bit of research on nascar because she wants to support shane's interests and bond with him (even if she's??? a little thrown???? by this?? but okay?? he's trying out adulthood and getting to explore things beyond being a teenager at home. okay.)

but now shane is trapped in pretending to like nascar because his mom asked how watching it with rozanov was, and he's like, "...really fun! yeah, it was exciting. they, um, they go really fast."

now shane who doesn't give a FUCK about cars beyond Thing That Takes Me Places is stuck in summer watching fucking nascar with his mom. and david clocks that shane isn't into it, but he figures that maybe yuna? has found an interest in it after the topic came up? so shane is bonding with her over that? aw, how sweet.

yuna teasing him about danica patrick being too old for him so don't get any ideas, and shane is just How Did This Happen To Me.

poor guy just wanted to explore gay sex and now he's doing a photo op in jimmie johnson's car???

save him.

[penandinkprincess]

the idea of shane being SO fucking annoyed that he has to go to this shit only to get there and learn that instead of a swedish princess, he gets to hang out with very strong men who move heavy car parts around for a living who are EXTREMELY competent and good at what they do

[phantomrose96]

wow this scene in my head is great. once i write all 50,000 words to get there then you'll understand too

Look how many times Stiles looked back.

Look at how much Derek didn’t want to die in front of Stiles.

SORRY i can’t get over the new spider-man movie and i love Sterek and Dylan o Brien absolutely could have been cast as Peter Parker in his youth

ok so Stiles gets a scholarship and goes to school in NYC, gets bit by a radioactive spider you know the whole bit. He’s a fledgling superhero, and he thinks he’s doing a pretty good job at balancing the whole superhero/broke college student/ secret identity thing.

One day he saves a guy from getting mugged, or at least tries to save him, but the model looking guy suddenly grabs his would be robber by the shoulders and slams him into the brick wall knocking him out cold. He catches a small flash of blue and wow holy shit don’t i know that guy?? that’s Derek Hale. The one whose family… ok so i guess he lives in new york now. small world.

“Um” He points down at the guy laying passed out on the ground “Normally i web them up for the cops to find, but I think the broken face could be punishment enough”

Derek just. sniffs the air and his eyes widen a bit before glaring and tilting his head almost like a dog.

“Do I know you from somewhere?” He is technically asking a question but it really is more of a statement.

“Nope. No, hah, probably not. I’ve just got one of those faces” He gestures to the mask nervously “Well anyways id love to stay and chat but, yknow, bad guys to catch and all that”

With a *thwip* he’s propelling himself to the roof between the alley, but when he looks back Derek is still staring. But there’s no way he could know who he is, right? And what was with that flash of blue in his eyes…

“That’s a sweet prompt!” a comment made by my coworker to a senior coworker about using AI in an onboarding client process.

Last week, I watched another senior coworker use Copilot to line by line create an invoicing email template. He was doing this because I said the language he’d originally used felt clunky and unnatural for anyone outside our office (aka: clients).

We work in an industry with daily, extensive, legally binding contracts!!!

We are very very much legally liable for fuck ups!!!!

And you’re using the lying machine and trusting it???

[xiaq]

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

[cryptidjeepers]

just watched a star trek episode about a planet that relied so heavily on it's computer system that they all forgot the basics of their own knowledge. and that allowed them to miss the fact that they were being posioned with radiation and nearly ending their civilization. because they couldn't use their own knowledge to figure things out. i bring this up for no reason in particular

[claire-stanfield]

Sometimes I lay awake at night and think about how after season 3 of Teen Wolf Stiles is walking around in a body that simply isn't his. Like not only did the Nogitsune form a whole ass clone of Stiles but he also had the audacity to steal the original. Like what do you mean Stiles had to watch his original body turn to ash right in front of him? What do you mean that after that body is formed Stiles just runs a little too cold and is constantly in pain? What do you mean that this body is probably constructed weird? What do you mean the show will never address or talk about this ever again?

This is my Roman Empire I fear...

[samdeans]

was thinking about sam’s true crime hobby earlier like imagine him listening to a podcast about an unsolved murder and he’s just like wait a second. we did that.

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

[tlirsgender]

Ok listen I get that people tagging posts with men is a rule of physics on this hellsite but it's kind of bizarre how badly some of you have failed the assignment on this one. A generic male protagonist archetype who is a man is nothing. That's just the normal cliche I'm talking about subverting. What?

[tlirsgender]

Like if you are For Serious headcanoning your blorbo as a trans woman I am kissing you on the head. But I KNOW most of you are not doing that. Come on. For one dollar name a fictional woman. No being a loser does not make him a woman try again

i will never get over this one i’m afraid

[galileosballs]

Too many songs about love, not enough songs about Specific Places

[galileosballs]

If I were In Charge, I would make a law requiring all popular musicians to record at least one good song about their hometown. If it's a band, all band members' hometowns must be sung about. This would cause the number of songs about Specific Places to naturally build up over time in a pattern loosely correlated to population density. This is a good plan.

[galileosballs]

Though admittedly, my good plan would also increase the oversaturation of songs about LA specifically. Which will be annoying. But it's a small price to pay for any song about Uclulet

[galileosballs]

Better idea: given that LA already has a disproportionate number of songs, LA musicians will be assigned a randomly selected small town with no famous musicians. They will be required to spend 3 weeks living in the town, after which they must present a good song about their experience. This will be good enrichment both for the town and the musician.

[galileosballs]

Though unfortunately, I must concede that 'LA musician required to go to Nowhere, Idaho to write a song about it' is the set-up for a Hallmark movie that absolutely writes itself.
