Remaining time: 5 days 20 hours

feel free to put your dialect in the tags with whatever level of specificity you like. I thought about including dialect options but don't even have a hypothesis of how it might shake out

They’re really different, him and Luka. Chris still isn’t really sure why Luka likes him, because Luka’s the centre of every room while Chris is big and awkward and still stutters when he’s nervous even though he went to a speech therapist, but he’s never doubted that Luka does, not once his whole life.

a soft and relatable growing-up-and-sports story! i only read it this afternoon but i’m so fond of chris chan (my kind, anxious son!) and full of feelings about fear and family and belonging. the world is a better place in part because of this fic and every one of you should read it <3

If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you’d best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we’ve always had a little contact over the years and he heard I’d come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to “Sarah” and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and took loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Uther and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all of the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a final massive hug, waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I got back safe.

one of the many problems with 'listen to x voices' rhetoric is that in order to be in the diaspora & gain citizenship in the first place your family often has to conform, to some degree, to western policy regarding our home countries & then those are the most plentiful voices in the west who talk about our countries. they will try to convince you that this is "the true voice" of the people of that country but they will gleefully advocate for foreign interventions that result in the widespread destruction and looting of their home country + they will position themselves as the greatest victims in all of this. but they clearly do not view the people back home with any kind of genuine solidarity or kinship only as pawns in their own personal narrative (revenge for an imagined alternative life back home, one where you still owned land or a held position of power there) and an opportunity to seize power for themselves. & then people in the diaspora develop a complex when people back home don't like them and don't agree with them & start claiming that everyone in the home country is brainwashed and the only way to free them is by invading and bombing everyone. they don't even view their cousins and family back home as real people, in this type of person's mindset simply by coming to west you are made real in a way that the rest of the world is not, it's sickening. and i know this song and dance very well like i'm in the western diaspora and the amount of ppl i meet who position themselves as progressive people but on the topic of foreign policy re: the home country sound like they work for radio free asia and are on the cia's payroll and chomping at the bit begging canada and co to bomb their country of origin is completely insane & if you even try to push back against this you're socially ostracized. same people will do land acknowledgements and then shun you for not supporting our government warmongering overseas it's just maddening

one thing i enjoy idly turning over in my head sometimes is the fight shane and ilya inevitably have when jackie leaves hayden for her ceramics instructor and ilya takes her side and wonders whether his mother might also have been saved by an affair with a free-spirited butch artist

the contours are different every time but i really think every post-canon heated rivalry fic of a certain length should feature jackie lastname*, thirty-something late-in-life lesbian

*is it canonically pike?? why are all of these women who live in quebec taking their husbands' last names. you have to put in effort (change your birth certificate) to do that

I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

Only Friends + The Chain, for @philologique

[philologique]

only friends ensemble fanvid set to the chain by fleetwood mac send tweet

[philologique]

“The Chain,” the album’s centerpiece, is haunting, angry, teeming with regret and disgust. It is the whole of the album, condensed into just four and a half minutes. It was crafted largely in separate rooms, pieced together with past parts of old songs. It churns along painfully, driven by a McVie bass riff that sounds like a caged thing finally coming to terms with its surroundings. On the song, Buckingham and Nicks engage in a tug-of-war on the chorus — “If you don’t love me now / You will never love me again” — and they sound like they are shouting at each other from across the studio. It is the one song on the album that makes me feel like something could be broken at any moment. It is the song that you play for someone when they ask you what the fuss behind Rumours is about. It is the entire emotional cycle of dissolution, peaking at the end of the song with the band singing, “Chain, keep us together” in unison, more as a plea than anything else.

need everyone to hear the good news of @jennaflare's only friends fanvid set to THE CHAIN, which makes me feel the way runners must feel when they've just finished a marathon

ok actually the fact that in tlg hayden is convinced that ilya is straight and not sexually attracted to men and has been fucking shane for a DECADE and is now LIVING WITH and ENGAGED to him as part of ilya’s plot to corrupt and ruin his hockey competitor and leave shane heartbroken and ruined at the altar while twirling his dastardly mustache is actually iconic. like could you even blame ilya at that point. he leaves boston for ottawa and tanks his own career and becomes a political refugee exiled from his home country so he can fuck a guy he’s not even attracted to in order to ruin his life. that would be the hardest anyone has ever balled. they call it the long game for a reason.
