i have a bunch of cool people/mutuals i follow now which is so cool but that also makes it harder to stay updated, so please don't hesitate to tag or message me so i can stay in the loop during a busy schedule!!

[ganxiously]

for your information, when someone writes something like 'Tommy had a picture stuck to his dashboard – his boyfriend smiling brighter than the sun at the camera', this is what I am imagining

[sad-girl-hours23]

Buck and Tommy are back in each other's lives and they're trying this thing called being friends (in reality, it feels like they are taking things very slowly to an inevitable getting back together, but neither of them has actually said that)

On the first of 3 days off, they're working in Tommy's garden, picking vegetables for lunch when Tommy looks over and sees Buck holding up and inspecting a very long, very girthy cucumber.

Tommy sighs. "Evan," he warns.

Buck flails out of his trance, giving Tommy a betrayed look. "I wasn't going to," he whines.

Tommy tilts his head, gives him that look that makes Buck want to stick his tongue out.

"I may have considered it."

Tommy snorts and they both go back to picking vegetables.

When they're done, they head in for lunch. Tommy washes the vegetables as Buck starts preparing the salad.

Tommy catches Buck eyeing the cucumber again. "If you want to fuck a cucumber so bad, they make dildos for that."

Buck blushes and ducks his head. "Shut up."

[Tommy misses making Evan blush, just as he misses trailing his lips down the length of Evan's body, following the blush as far as it goes]

"You know," Tommy murmurs, cool and calm as ever, "I still have those kits we never used."

[Evan gives him a look, one that--two years ago--would precede Tommy getting backed against the counter and kissed and touched and fucked]

What follows is one of the most sexually charged afternoons of both of their lives as they make a clone dildo of the cucumber. When it's done and left to set for 24 hours, Buck eyes the second kit. "Should we?"

"Might as well. What next...the zucchini?"

Buck ducks his head and laughs. Then he looks back at Tommy, from underneath his lashes, and licks his lips. "I mean--I'm already hard..."

Tommy swallows. The room suddenly feels 10 degrees hotter. "Think you can stay that way?"

Buck tilts his head, gives Tommy a look that says c'mon...

Tommy hums. "Let me rephrase...think you can not come?"

"Are you asking me or telling me?"

[they have a few false starts, but by the time Buck leaves Tommy's house for his shift, they've both got a new dildo for their collection]

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

Smitten

Tommy has to resist the urge to fill his camera roll with pictures of Evan sitting with his legs stretched out; one kitten curled atop his ankles and another curled in his lap. His lips twitch. "Mitten, not Mittens?"

Evan runs his finger over the ginger kitten's white paw, laughing quietly when it twitches. "Well, she just has the one…"

"So...Socks and Mitten."

"Yeah"—Evan looks up at him and smiles and oh, how Tommy has missed that twinkle in his eye—“together, they're Smitten."

Tommy snorts. Smitten. Yeah, they're not the only ones.

genuinely i don’t think it’s possible to easily explain the explicit part of online friendships to people who don’t Understand. i don’t mean like, explicit in the sense of “oh you’re sexting” or whatever. no. i mean when you and your friend start gleefully making up explicit sexual scenarios for your shared blorbos and you get giddier and giddier as you add more detail and you’ll be grinning at your screen as you type away at mach speeds. and it’s entirely nonsexual in an interpersonal sense, you’re not really getting Into it, but ohhhhh it’s soooooo fun and satisfying. and you can NEVER tell someone who doesn’t also do this that your mood is actively improved like fivefold because you and your friend played Sexual Tuoys together because they’ll go “what the FUCK.”

Getting plowed is for the country folk. Here in the city we call it being taken to pound town. And if it's a place with decent public transit, getting railed.

Magic Arena developers say they were told to relocate or effectively lose their jobs

It's one of many reasons that workers tell Polygon they are eager to unionize.

Employees and developers working on Magic: The Gathering Arena say they were hired with promises of remote flexibility, so they bought homes and built lives around those assurances. But they say they are now being told they may need to relocate to Washington state — or effectively lose their jobs.

Those concerns are a major reason why a supermajority of workers on the Arena team are attempting to unionize with the Communications Workers of America, under the banner United Wizards of the Coast. The group publicly launched its campaign on April 27, calling on Wizards of the Coast and parent company Hasbro to voluntarily recognize the union by May 1.

[apricops]

These employees are doing important and laudable work in response to being forced into a bad situation but I’m glad they still took the opportunity to call themselves “United Wizards”

[basic-bamboo]

WotC has still refused to recognize the union and has escalated to sending organizers letters directly to their homes about how unionizing is a bad idea. Luckily, our United Wizards are educated, organized, and agitated and the form letter from Hasbro was as laughable as it was threatening.

If you want to help out the United Wizards you can sign this petition

Solidarity baby!

anywayyy i will not be made to feel crazy or delusional for believing that people shouldn’t have to earn their place in the world. that everybody should be afforded dignity, even beauty, and life, regardless if they have ‘worked hard’ or checked a box or not. regardless of who they are and where they are born. the laziest person in the world is not less deserving of happiness than the most hardworking person. deserving means nothing. free your mind of the idea of deserving and you will begin to be able to think!!

Reasons why I like Tommy Kinard outside of the whole Tevan thing

He looks really handsome in a flight suit

He has a really nice crinkly smile

He is loyal to his friends

He has a good sense of humor

He is helpful. Maybe a little too much...

He is sociable (the "knows a guy" guy, y'know? And he let Ravi steer him towards Buck at the bar, but I think even if it wasn't Buck there, Tommy would've helped Ravi get out of a boring coworker hang)

He isn't pushy. (He doesn't push Buck to be out of the closet, he is going at Buck's pace if we accept the cut scene as canon...)

He tries to make amends (he apologized to Chimney and he made that huge breakfast and admitted he wants to try again... All gestures to reconcile)

He doesn't hold a grudge (he had every right to block Buck's number after that disastrous morning, he sat next to Gerrard at the funeral - whether assigned or not, if he'd spoken up, I'm sure they'd have placed him elsewhere)

He is thoughtful enough not to reject someone's sincere efforts outright (the wrong coffee order - he teases but he doesn't say it sucked; Buck and his foot in mouth about hot chicks - Tommy isn't happy about it but he doesn't blame Buck, just says he doesn't think Buck is ready )

[bbpuwbackslasht]

Tommy is a great character on his own ❤️ the fact that Tevan happened is a HUGE bonus.

[unleashthemish]

Tommy is a complex queer character who's struggled with his sexuality and forcible repression and has done some less than admirable shit in order to survive and I think he's all the more relatable and interesting for it.
