Also, since I owe you lot an absolute butt ton of fic for all your help and support and love – what does everyone want to see first?

Your options are:

 – Chapter 9 of Reclamation

– An AU where Gates survives S1

– Absolute fluff involving bitty Max and the messy death of Mr. Noonan set post Full of Grace (ok maybe not complete fluff but you know – fluff with a side of murder)

– something else (I realize that I have prompts in my inbox lying undone, for example. I haven’t forgotten about you, prompters!)

Holy Shit Thank You All

ok friends – it’s official. I’m back on my feet, I’ve been hired and start my new job soon, and my plane tickets are booked for a pre-approved vacation this September.

I seriously have no idea how I would have gotten through this last month without the show of support I’ve gotten from all of you, and if I could I would give each one of you a big hug right now. I’ll be back with more fic very soon, and thank you so, so much to everybody who helped keep me alive and sane so that I could turn things around like this! My followers are the best, really and truly.

Almost nothing fucks me up more than that moment when Flint sits down and introduces himself to Abigail Ashe. 

How he sloughs off the despair and anger and rage that have become an inherent part of his identity, letting them melt away. How the action of removing his weapons and setting them aside is a physical counterpart to removing and setting aside the person that circumstances have dictated he become. How he must do that in order to release even a whisper of who he once was.  

You can physically see him allowing himself to wake up from a long slumber, ten years of suppressing everything that was kind and gentle in him, because there is no place for it in Nassau, in his war, in his vengeance. 

Nothing fucks me up more than the softness in his eyes and the way his voice breaks,

when he reclaims his identity

and says with a relieved sigh: 

“My name is James.”

So Imagine This…

Wonder Woman 2 is about how Diana covertly prevents the Cold War into breaking out into nuclear war and how her actions lead to the fall of the Soviet Union. During her mission she comes across her imprisoned Uncle Hades who was forced to do the bidding of the movie’s villain. She releases him, and when she does he’s like “holy shit thanks so much for saving my ass back there. Here, Imma get you a gift, brb”. But like he doesn’t come back and Diana kinda just shrugs and is like “lol ok whatevs I didn’t want a gift from my weird uncle anyway” and just continues on with her life

The last scene of the movie is Diana in the present and she’s on her way back to her place in Paris after dealing with some Justice League stuff and Hades shows up like “super sorry about the wait I got held up at work with the underworld thing and all, I finally got you your present. It’s waiting for you in your apartment.” Diana says thanks because she doesn’t want to piss off her weird uncle, but she has her sword and shield out when she opens her front door and she’s expecting a three headed dog or a tank or some weird shit but it’s actually none of that because Steve Trevor is sitting on her couch

I ACCEPT THIS

Give it to me.

I read an anecdote from someone whose African Grey didn’t particularly get along with her Amazon parrot, Paco. One night she was preparing cornish hens for dinner, while the grey hung out with her in the kitchen. He got a closer look at one of the hens, looked his mama dead in the eyes and asked, “Paco?” Then he laughed.

that is one sadistic bird 

I am slightly afraid now.

I love birds?

African Grey Parrots are one of the smartest birds, and seems they can be known to play “jokes” or “pranks” on their owners or any visitors.

I was visiting a friend of the family one time and I was just casually watching tv when I thought I heard the water running. I go into the kitchen but everything’s fine. the parrot looks at me and says “gotcha”.

Parrots are awesome.

I have an African Grey named Loki and he lives up to his name.

He likes to scream and mimic the sounds of things falling off the shelf and when we run into the room to see what’s happening he says “The cat did it! Bad Sammy!” and laughs.

Whenever he gets mad at me he flies away from me, but since he can’t fly very well, he always crash lands. And the first thing he says when I go to pick him up, without fail, is always “You need to vacuum,” in a very bitter grumble. 

Loki likes to call our cat to him. He’ll sit there for minutes saying “here kitty kitty kitty.” The cat will come, walk up to the bird, get bit and then Loki will laugh as the cat screams and runs away. This goes on for hours. 

If it’s late at night and he’s tired, but I’m still up with the lights on, he’ll say “Loki go night night.” It’s starts of in a normal tone and then gets louder and louder until he’s screaming “LOKI GO NIGHT NIGHT!“ 

If he sees my dad fall asleep, he screams like a little girl to scare my dad awake. And then laughs. He’s kind of perfected that evil laugh.

But the best one was when I brought home the man who has since become my ex for the first time, Loki looked him dead in the eyes and said "I’m going to bite you." My parrot was the first one to see what a bad person my ex. He was smarter than us all.

Here’s a call script for your Senators and/or representatives – scroll down to “Tell your members of Congress: Condemn the Trump administration’s separation of families.” This is especially important if you live in a red state. Trump is trying to claim that the separation of families is due to a “law” enacted by Democrats – there is no such law. This is a Trump administration policy. It’s important for Republicans to know we don’t believe his lies, and that we know exactly who is responsible for this. Calling Democratic members of Congress helps, too – even if they already support keeping families together at the border, it will help to continue to encourage them to take action.

The bill is S.3036, the Keep Families Together Act. You can read it here.

One thing to add. Find out if your representative has children or grandchildren and ask,them how they would feel if it happened to them. Play to empathy
