Patrick Brewer meeting David: Have my previous relationships failed because I needed to figure out my sexuality or because I'm exclusively attracted to dumbasses?

Well, now you have to open it EVERY night, because that's where she sleeps.

Sometimes I do just open it and leave it open for a few days. Usually they’re less enthusiastic because I don’t have the sleeping pad and the sheet on it. (The 2″ foam sleeping pad is the best way to keep sheets on it, but usually it lives on my bed because I like luxury.)

Lookit the toe extension! Amazing!

I was so pleased to have caught that moment :D

What's the occasion? (If it's not too nosy to ask)

I have a guest in town -- a friend’s brother (who is a nice acquaintance but we don’t know each other SUPER well) had an AirBNB fall through the day before he was scheduled to arrive for work, because it’s Labor Day weekend, so I said he could crash here for a few days. 

yndigot replied to your photo “Dad...you need to clean your faucet.”

Do you have a very roomy sink or is she still that smol? So cute!

It’s a standard sized sink, actually kind of on the smallish side -- she’s still very smol :D I sometimes forget they’re not even six months old yet.

I don't actually remember how I first stumbled across your blog, but I'm almost certain it was steve/bucky related.

Back in my early blog days! I miss them so much

Thank you for sticking around through all my fandom jumps <3

weird asks (if you would still like) - 6, 12, 24, 48

6. Why did you do that?

man idk but if you figure it out please tell me

12. What kind of day is it?

I am a 64f kind of girl living in a 101f world and the week’s only supposed to get hotter. I miss winter.

24. If we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing? Either talking about fannish things or seperately goofing off on electronic devices in companionable silence. I will be stoned and powering down cold drinks (that's just my base state of being.)

48. Can you skip rocks? Yes, but not with any consistency. My ability comes and goes with the whims of the gods or the wind or the phases of the moon idk.

Get to know the blogger: Can you tell me about your Ph.D work, preferably in the most ridiculous way possible :D I love hearing people talk about the weird angles on their academic work

Hey, Thank you for the ask!

Hope you’re doing well, lovely to hear from you!

I’d love to - I make colourful, glowey powders that can tell the temperature of things you couldn’t normally stick a thermometer into - like cells or fast moving/spinning objects - my big project is using these to potentially detect explosives

3) what order do you write in? front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?

I write beginning to end. Writing out of order feels weird.

19) when it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?

I keep an outline! I write my outlines by hand in a notebook.

20) do you write in long sit-down sessions or in little spurts?

Both! There are times when I feel like I can write for hours, and other times I can only write like a sentence before giving up.

you're on my dash as someone whose humor aligns very well with mine + fandom interests that tend to be almost but not quite lined up. Also someone who's been there for long enough that I don't really remember where we first stumbled across each other, but that just makes the presence steady and comforting.

I like your sense of humor too :D And that we have such overlapping venn diagrams of fandom interests -- it usually means even when you’re posting about something I don’t follow, I’m still quite entertained (I hope the same is true for you and my reblogs, at least sometimes!)

I actually DO remember when I followed you -- though not why. It was either for MCU or for the Hobbit, and then I usually liked what you posted so I stuck around. I remember talking to you occasionally, and yeah, ditto -- you’re familiar. And when so many of my fandom friendships have grown distant as people go off and do their thing, that familiarity is really nice.

yndigot replied to your post “I thought I was the only one whose dislike of Gwyneth Paltrow infected...”

It's hard to watch anything that Gwyneth is in now just because I dislike HER so much IRL. Even when I like the character. And I DO like Pepper, but she and Tony really should have stayed broken up. I really fail to see what she's getting out of this relationship. I LOVE Tony, but he clearly doesn't give her anything she wants out of a partner.

Yeah, same. I freely acknowledge my dislike of her colors my feelings on P*pper.  But, look, she might love Tony (even if I think it is unhealthy) but she canonically does not like Iron Man.  She just doesn’t.  I don’t even blame her for that, it’s totally realistic and I probably wouldn’t want that either, but that’s who Tony is, and it just isn’t going to work.  Even in her couple of minutes of screentime in IW, she manages to 1) blame Tony for them not having kids b/c he wants to protect the world and so added the nanotech thingy; 2) extract an unrealistic promise from him about no more surprises that she knows by now he can’t keep and is just saying to try to keep her; and 3) yell at him to get back to earth while he’s trying to save it so the last thing he hears is her screaming at him like he’s a wayward child.  Not. Helpful. Like, she’s 100% fine to not want to deal with any of that, and most people wouldn’t, but that’s just not who Tony is, and she clearly is not able to accept it, so...it isn’t going to work.  It just isn’t. 

Also, GP is a terrible person, so yeah, I don’t like it.  If it’s internalized misogyny, I’ll take it over liking that relationship. 

Also, a Personal Assistant who picks up dry cleaning and brings her boss espresso to running a multi-billion dollar global energy and tech company transitioning from decades of making weapons, fucking please.  I can buy a lot of things, but come the hell on.  And, while I’m at it, Hollywood can also stop romanticizing the boss/employee relationship b/c that shit isn’t cute or adorable either, it’s messed up, and yeah, that’s my real life kicking in too much, probably, but still.

I’m so bitchy today.  Feel free to unfollow if you like the ship.  I’m sorry.  I should be a better person, but I apparently can only do that for a couple days at a time and since I saw IW yesterday again, I’m pissy with her again.

Also, that earring was fugly, Gwyneth, you’re 45, stop shopping at Claire’s.
