Louis owning half of Lestat's merch sales, opening up a hotel specifically to invite Lestat to the grand opening Knowing it will be trashed somehow just so he can force Lestat to talk to him in civil court, insisting on a "fan experience" to make up for the property damage (the lawyer literally said "yes you have to fuck him if you want him to drop the lawsuit"), using the meeting to try and force Lestat to talk about their relationship problems, and then going to the concert just to look uninterested the entire time.....he is in fact a beautiful unwell!

Does everyone "have" a gender?

Examining 'gender detachment' in the asexual community

[snazzy-hats-and-adhd]

Saving @derinthescarletpescatarian 's tags because I just like the way they are worded.

This is so cool

[runesinthenight]

This is so validating because the respondents in this paper are saying some of the same things I've been feeling and thinking for years.

I'm asexual. I figured that out not long after I first came across the term in high school. But figuring out my gender took a lot longer. I didn't really think about my gender identity for years, it wasn't until I was in college that I started trying to figure out what my gender was. That process took years.

I didn't really feel attached to my assigned gender, but I also didn't feel the gender dysphoria that trans people described. I didn't particularly feel like I was neither of those either. For a long time, I honestly didn't feel like any of the gender descriptions and identities I was coming across really fit. I just didn't care that much about what my actual gender was. Eventually I decided upon the agender label as that seemed the most apt. As the paper says, it's really hard to be truly without gender in this highly gendered world. Agender is a way of defining myself in a way that people who experience gender might be able to understand when "I'm just me." isn't really an acceptable answer to the "what's your gender?" question.

I don't mind being perceived as a gender, none of them are offensive to me. While I do like when I am perceived as male or at least not female, I think that more has to do with growing up female and not wanting to be pushed into traditional female roles and values than a connection or repulsion to any gender. I'm impossible to misgender because I frankly don't care.

Honestly, the biggest problem I have with my gender, is trying to define it to people. There's been a large push in recent years for asking people for their pronouns, or including pronouns in things like email signatures and surveys. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is a bad thing! This is very affirming for a lot of people. But it feels like I need to pick something that doesn't quite fit. At pride, for instance, there's always pronoun buttons. But they're all she/her, he/him, they/them, she/they, he/they, it/it, xe/xir, etc etc. And that's great. I'm always glad that there are a lot of options for people. But there's never any pins for any/all pronouns. I've never picked up a free pronoun pin at pride, despite always looking, because they all feel like picking what pronouns I don't want poeple to use and the answer is that I don't care. I fround an any/all pronoun pin once at a queer museum and I cried.

I really suggest you read the paper if you haven't. Not just the article, the whole paper. This is probably the most seen I've felt in a long time.

Gender is a mug's game, and I don't wanna play.

modern college shirbert au where anne works a side gig as a tour guide at redmond for incoming freshman. she hates the stuffy polo and slacks and the heavy microphone set she has to wear but she quite enjoys getting to walk around the beautiful campus every weekend and describe every nook and cranny to the freshmen (even if they start yawning and wandering off halfway through)

however, each beautiful tour is RUINED when gilbert blythe’s stupid run club manages to cross their path multiple times. gilbert, who started the club to promote cardiovascular health for boys who started drinking a little too much in school (blegh, med students!), never fails to run by with his stupid shirtless sweaty body and wave and yell at anne like an overgrown puppy. and each time, anne scowls and rolls her eyes while the freshmen girls immediately start paying attention. god forbid he stops and tries to chat, often met with her steely eyes and short answers. she tries to ignore the knowing looks from parents accompanying their children.

it did not escape charlie and moody’s (and definitely bash’s) notice that when anne got the tour job, gilbert insisted on planning the routes each weekend

PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION 2026 — dir. Brett Haley

[isuggestforcefem]

It is kinda fucked how being ace or aro pretty much automatically means you’re isolated, even from your queer peers.

[isuggestforcefem]

To be clear (and this isn’t an indictment of any of yall), I wasn’t talking about « bigotry » or « infighting ».

I meant more to talk about how when you’re aro, there’s this whole side of relationships, those that are lauded as the « most powerful bonds » that you don’t have access to. You’re effectively barred from getting to close to people you know? How must it feel, to know yourself secondary in all relationships? If all you can have are friends, how do you cope with the expectation that all those friends could leave you to live with a partner?

And when you’re ace, especially when otherwise queer (like, being transfem), you have to reckon with the fact that no matter what, there’s a facet of socializing that you can’t access. This goes into relationships too, of course. What do you do with partners that expect some degree of sexual reciprocation? What do you do, when flirting, playing with desire, is so common in your community? Do you just accept you’ll be isolated from your peers in a tangible way? Is that even something you can accept?

I can’t claim these are the worst things the world does, nor to have solutions. But, when connecting with people, and doing so deeply and fully is predicated on relating with them, sexually or romantically, and you can’t do that. What do you do?

And worse, can you even speak up about it? What if you do, and your friends see it, and they think, in their kindness, I shouldn’t interact with this person sexually/romantically. What do you do if talking about it gets you isolated, by people who are trying to be kind?

[isuggestforcefem]

Stars. I’m holding all of your hands. We’re not alone. We have each other

[feralplantwife]

Yeah. I watch people around me move on to marriage and houses and kids and joint bank accounts or whatever else, and it's not FOMO exactly because I don't want or feel interest in those things, but it's like I'm being left behind.

I get invited fewer places because all of my friends are couples. They do couples things now. I don't have a partner to share my burdens with, to help me manage all the labor that comes with just being alive, or keep me company.

All my friends and old classmates and acquaintances are all planning these big, shared lives, and I'm wondering how I'm ever going to make it. It doesn't matter how many friends and ace/aro person has, or how close they are with their family, or any of those other things. Sometimes, it's still Just Me.

I'm watching through the window at a type of warmth I don't even want, but don't have anything to replace it with.

Missing Scene Exchange Fics in Chronological Order

With all the Missing Scene Exchange fics in, I wanted to make a thread for anyone who hasn’t read them! 

In this chronological order, you’ll be able to see Mulder and Scully’s relationship grow over time through these missing scenes <3

Ao3 Collection Link Here

“Celestial Bodies” (Syzygy) 

Scully and Mulder let their feelings fly after a particularly strange case pushes them to their limits. 

“Across the Sea” (Memento Mori) 

Mulder and Margaret Scully talk after Scully’s diagnosis, and Maggie reflects on her daughter, her partner, and their journey so far. 

“A Night Stolen” (Small Potatoes) 

What happened after Mulder found Scully with Eddie Van Blundht? Fill in the missing scenes between that moment and when they visit him in jail

“Partners in Love and Crime” (Redux I) 

Scully knows she’ll be called to identify a body. Mulder asks her to lie and say it was him. What happens? Does Mulder feel guilty? Is Scully hesitant? 

“Rebehold the Stars” (Redux II) 

“Thence we came forth to rebehold the stars” he murmured, more to himself than her, his voice low and tender, his gaze never leaving Scully’s. 

“Is This Living?” (Post-Redux II) 

What happens after Mulder picks Scully up from the hospital after her miraculous recovery from cancer? 

“Ashes to Ashes” (The End) 

While taking in the burnt remains of their office, the only thing capable of snapping Mulder out of his numbness is the sudden realization that Scully needs him. 

“The Sick Rose” (One Son) 

What if they were in a developing/established relationship and Mulder finds Scully alone in his apartment after the “making it personal” comment? 

“Calm Before the Storm” (Agua Mala) 

Another hurricane throws a wrench into Mulder & Scully’s travel plans. 

“Meet the Petries” (Arcadia) 

Mulder and an almost drunk Scully discuss their aliases pre-Arcadia. 

“A Case of You” (Three of a Kind) 

The Lone Gunmen make amends to Scully. Mulder eavesdrops on Scully singing Joni Mitchell. 

“Shroomality” (Field Trip)

They just survived a shroom trip that nearly killed them! Anyone else who shares that experience would talk about it. Would it change their dynamic at all? 

The timeline gets a little wonky here:

The Unnatural (April 24, IRL baseball reference)

Three of a Kind (July 9-11 99, IRL convention dates)

Field Trip (April 19, Official XF Archives book)

Dr. Parenti’s file indicates Per Manum happened June 18th 99, so, I’ll just put it here?

“Never Give Up On A Miracle” (Per Manum) 

What happened after Mulder and Scully learned that the IVF didn’t work? 

“the things they say in the dark” (Amor Fati) 

If there is one truth she can’t deny, it’s that those who love this man are both blessed and stricken for their loyalty. 

“Running Up That Hill” (Sein und Zeit) 

Scully stays to comfort Mulder after he learns the truth about his mother’s death. Leading up to when Skinner knocks on the door the next morning. 

“We’re Not Here To Get Involved in Personal Problems” (X-Cops) 

After the events of X-Cops, What happens in the weary early morning hours of February 21, 2000. 

“Butterfly Kisses” (all things) 

The fluorescent light of the aquarium casts a warm glow over her and alerts her to the fact that she did fall asleep on his couch.

“Three Conversations” (Three Words) 

What happens after we cut away from the scene where Scully takes Mulder home? 

“Philotes” (Empedocles) 

What do Mulder and Scully talk about and do after the gift scene? In this next scene he doesn’t leave, and they talk more. 

“forty eight hours.” (Existence)

How did the two days following Existence pan out? How did it transpire that Mulder went on the run? What was that conversation like between Mulder & Scully? 

“She Has A Stick to Pee On” (My Struggle IV)

How does Scully find out she’s pregnant? What’s her thought process in staying home vs going with Mulder? Reaction to Skinner’s news we didn’t see?
