Hi! I'm trying to get back into writing, and I posted a new chapter on AO3 if anyone's interested 🙂

“Jonathan, I’m fine!” Joyce said quietly with an exasperated tone; which made Hopper pause. That tone was not an okay Joyce tone - that was a ‘I’m so tired and can’t handle this situation’. Hopper raised his hand to knock when Jonathan let out a loud scoff. “Mom, when you say your pain’s a '4 out of 10', that's a normal person's '8 out of 10'. We're going to the hospital”.

you cannot do The West Wing set in 2026 if only because Jed Bartlet would never survive the National Parks all being wildly horny on main

"He thinks of you like a daughter, CJ" is such a wonderful sentiment and such a soft line coming from Josh and it really hurts that it's followed by the devastating "that's not a good enough reason to keep me here" to which Josh has no actual answer. Cause she's right. It's not.

I also love that Joey and CJ have been talking about CJ's position in the White House and she's opened up to Joey about this. I love that Joey is concerned enough to make Josh aware of that. I love that, while he's far from perfect during it, Josh immediately makes the effort to try and talk to her and reassure her. (He does a better job than Leo, much better, but they have a similar way of saying something they really mean to be reassuring, when it's just not.)

Also, the fact that even in this moment, Josh is trying to be nice by saying she shouldn't be expecting a five point bump. He's trying to be nice saying her media strategy was good and a good result would be holding steady. And I love that she holds firm anyway. She knows her strategy and what it will have accomplished. She knows.

12. Abbey Bartlet and Jed Bartlet      “One of the things that happens when I stay away too long is that you forget that you don’t have the power to fix everything. You have a big brain, and a good heart, and an ego the size of Montana… You do, Jed! You don’t have the power to fix everything. But I do like watching you try. ”

Donna Moss & Andy Wyatt because I do now firmly believe Andy looks at Donna and sees her younger self actually. We all need a big sister in politics.

my roman empire is that abbey bartlet was a confident, sexy, smart, determined, world renowned surgeon who had to give up her career, watch her husband get shot, give up her medical license for keeping her husband alive, watch her husband run for reelection even though he had promised her he wouldn’t, almost lose her child to a kidnapping, get scrutinized by the media for trying to return to medicine, and watch her husband's health deteriorate in front of her, only for fans of the west wing to criticize her for being too angry and too sexy and too loud and annoyed all the time and not “first lady-like” and how abbey is a literal analogy for hillary clinton, who is brilliant and motivated and still hated by millions of people for some weird mix of reasons that boiled down to the fact that she doesn’t act the way that people want women who are married to powerful men to act. because people want women to be beautiful even when they’re going through hell and act submissive even though they’re not. because people say that they’re feminists but freak out when any relationship isn’t all about the man. That’s the same reason that people hate michelle obama for having opinions, and the reason people hate dr. biden for daring to ask people to call her dr. But I can’t say that so I say the bermuda triangle.
