I just taught my drunk mother exponential growth of the speed of light in warp speed over dinner.

I just watched Edge of Tomorrow, and it was great, but I have one critique. The romantic subplot- specifically the kiss at the end of the movie- was completely unnecessary for the plot, the character growth, the climax, anything. It even could have been a totally romantic ending without the kiss, they just had to push the heteronormative agenda.

In other news, while this movie probably doesn’t pass the bechdal test, it was good at women. The lead was not unnecessarily feminine and had relevance beyond as a love interest and had she been male I don’t think the writing would be affected all that much.

Thank you Ratchet 🙏

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed this.

I’m a writer, trying to do superheroes. However… supervillains. They just don’t make any sense. Their obsessions? Their reasoning? None of it is… just what? It doesn’t make any sense.

"If stuff was just handed to me I'd have no motivation to do anything! That's human nature!" No, babe, that's depression. Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn't being actively threatened.

okay so like, we all know that housekeeping in a hotel is a Shit Job, right?

I worked with a woman who was independently wealthy. But she liked working housekeeping. So she did. And if the manager got bitchy with her, she’d just shrug and be like “Okay, I can quit.”

Like the manager treated her like a human being because she knew she had to because otherwise she’d lose one of her best workers.

Yes, everyone should be just handed the money to live.

I worked with a lady who’s husband made more than enough to support them both.  She just did the retail to have something to do with herself part-time.

There’s a lot of people who’d happily do the same sort of thing.  Honestly?  A lot of the jobs we consider “shitty” jobs?  Are shitty because the employees are treated like garbage.

If employees weren’t being screwed over by people higher up the chain constantly or being forced to kiss the asses of customers currently shitting all over them, those jobs would by and large be a whole lot more bearable, and appealing to more people!!

Somebody tell me not to end this work email with: “I bet you’re regretting giving me that college education now aren’t you.”

You ever have insomnia so bad you just decide to give up no matter how bad your head hurts?

Two opinions you can’t argue with. Simpsons is timeless and Smithers and burns are gay for eachother

[umkrella]

Hey queen got any friends to lovers tos fics without gratuitous smut? Thanks you’re an icon 🙏🙏🙏

Hey girl!

YES. I do have a lot because I read nothing but friends to lovers on most days TT

For more fics that I haven't listed here, let me direct you to a previous post: Rated T getting together fics OK heres a quick rundown of my faves:

All In (AOS, 87831 words) by little-smartass (Linxcat), spicyshimmy, summerofspock

Jim opens his eyes. Spock’s face is calm. It’s like they’re not talking about what they’re talking about at all - a living, breathing entity that’s made up of parts from both of them. She’s her own individual, sure, but they’re the ones who made her. And Bones. Bones had something to do with it. Jim’s red blood and Spock’s green blood and this steady, soothing heartbeat.

Ok, note that its not mpreg. What really makes this fic shine is how Spock and Jim get closer and closer as they communicate and bare themselves openly with each other, deepening their connection.

What To Do When Your In Laws Are Ambassadors (TOS, 19188 words) by Solid_Medical_Advice

The Enterprise is set to pick up delegates from across the Federation and take them to a meeting where they will determine the fate of a (as of now) non-Federation planet. Professionally, this is not a problem for Captain James T. Kirk. Personally, it is a little bit weird to pretend the ambassador of Vulcan and his wife aren't his boyfriend's parents. Journey to Babel but Kirk and Spock are dating and pretend they're not.

Ok, this is an established relationship fic, but the friendship aspect is heavily explored here-- how they're friends first and lovers second, etc.

Dream a Little Dream of Me (AOS, 9529 words) by ItsClydeBitches

After Kirk receives a vaccine from McCoy he begins having strange dreams, each of which brings him a little closer to his First Officer.

Study in Heat (TOS, 14395 words) by cowboyjimkirk

After the events in City on the Edge of Forever, Spock suggests that he and Jim spend some time on Vulcan. Turns out it's not a great place for a vacation, but is plenty good for pining.

A Second Chance (Sounds Fake) (AOS, WIP, 28364 words) by Bibarian

Here's the thing: Jim might have woken up in the past. He might have also woken in an alien simulation or a telepathic recreation of his past. This might even be a whole other reality. But, with no way to be sure, there's really only one decision to make. As long as the chances aren't zero, Jim has to try to stop the upcoming destruction of Vulcan. What makes this goal that much harder is doing it without looking insane. Or actually going insane as he constantly doubts his reality.

This one really explores their friendship, made angsty by the fact that Jim has history with Spock that Spock does not remember. OK, that's all for now. I chose these fics because they have a really meaningful exploration of how they get closer together before they become lovers, and an emphasis on friendship being the foundation of their relationship. Happy Reading! -M
