starting pride month by stating that none of the characters I've ever written or will write in any form are straight. they're all bi/pan and in queer relationships. I have no interest in heteronormative bullshit. hope this helps.

I've been doing so well and hitting a stride on my orchestra AU only to be assaulted by a new Extremely Niche Intrusive Mohabbot Thought that I need to expel:

Control AU Mohabbot.

Samira's first day as a research specialist in Federal Bureau of Control finds her wandering the Oldest House in lockdown. She's saved by Jack Abbot, a security agent who tells her that she needs to go to the Director's office. Inside, she discovers the Director dead and his Service Weapon unattended--calling for her. She picks it up and becomes the New Director by meeting The Board and passing the test to wield the Service Weapon. The Board commands her to combat the Hiss that infects the Oldest House and turns humans into monsters. As she fights Hiss-possessed agents, she finds survivors who managed to escape its influence by wearing Hedron Resonance Amplifiers. Senior researcher Baran Al-Hashimi and Chief of Security Michael Robbinavitch seem to already know that she's the New Director, but none of them recognize the name Jack Abbot.

Who is Jack Abbot? And why isn't he possessed by the Hiss despite not wearing an HRA?

problem is I keep outlining plot heavy fics and while writing them promising myself the next one would be just good ol dead dove pwp but then when the pwp idea comes plot bunnies would take over and the infernal cycle repeats

Everything we tried to contain is now loose in the streets of Manhattan. This was caused by a new type of hostile resonance. It’s beyond anything that we can currently measure. Our reality is bent to follow an anomalous pattern, warping time… Gravity. Light. Even the way we think. It’s all quite terrifying… And fascinating. CONTROL RESONANT (2026) dev. Remedy Entertainment

at the risk of almost doxxing myself, I need to get this off my chest:

it's second day of pride month. a university expelled a gay student who kissed his boyfriend in the library, and he got assaulted by his own father in public, in front of a mob who shamed him.

another uni (very close to the aforementioned one) just gave three months suspension for a group of male students who committed organized SA by producing AI porn of women on campus (one of which was their own lecturer/teacher) because these students have rich and powerful parents.

there's only so much advocacy that can be done when things like this happen all the fucking time and resources are spread thin. justice is a pipe dream and the patriarchal misogynist society will always demand the blood of the marginalized communities to soothe the pain of being crushed under the boots of capitalism.

may all queer people find community and safety in their lifetime. there really is no other way for us to exist.

some first red flags about the Pitt’s “realism” were all the way back in season 1. Remember when Santos threatened that father who may or may not have been molesting his kid? Remember when Robby REFUSED to report or investigate??

Yeah well there was a lot of (rightful) criticism around that scene. Doctors spoke up and said that you only need a suspicion to report something for CPS to VISIT. This doesn’t go on some kind of record for the parent and it’s weird that Robby would be so hesitant. Especially with a child’s mental and physical health on the line.

Then, knowing the child will be living exclusively with her father now that her mother’s imprisoned, I found the Santos scene odd. Threatening the abuser will most likely lead to him punishing the victim for speaking out. I know the show was trying to show how badass Santos is (and she is) and give insight into her backstory, BUT I’m not really a fan of sexual assault storylines being used to advance the story-arcs of others, or show how gold-hearted they are, when doing so just brings more risk to the actual victim.

AND THEN the worst thing is that they did it again. In season 2. Robby said the same thing, that they wouldn’t report. They could have totally reported.

I remember reading about how concerned ppl were abt this. They said there shouldn’t be misinformation about these types of procedures and they’re right. There shouldn’t be.

Realism, or something being “realistic,” is a narrative tool. Nothing can ever be fully realistic in story telling. The point is to give the impression that it is and that’s where the art lies.

So while child abuse happens and even false allegations happen, I found the way the show handled it to be unrealistic for actual scenarios. It was pretty obviously story driven.

But now, when they say that Samira Mohan leaving is just “realistic” for a hospital is SUCH obvious crap. Sirs you are writing this story. There is intention behind everything. Don’t pretend that this hospital is real and Gloria came down with her clipboard in the writer’s room and said: “You know we need to make some cuts. Let’s start with Samira. Randomly cut all her scenes.”

No one’s forcing anyone’s hand. So I’m just wondering like what happened? Why was she cut? They’re back peddling on all their answers so that’s super promising lol.
