Alright, discretion is the better part of valor here. Plus Wade never locks the bathroom door. Logan sticks his head into the cloud of soapy steam to call, “Hey, Wade, some punk kid turned up here.”
“Some kid – wait, fuck, Russell?” Wade’s voice shoots up a delighted octave.
“That’s what he said.”
“Fuck yes! Tell him I’ll be out in a second. Unless he feels like getting traumatized by all my sudsy naked glory.”
Logan tries not to chuckle. “I’ll tell him.” When he pulls his head out of the bathroom, Russell is giving him the kind of look that usually means someone thinks Logan’s about to rob the bar.
Logan/Wade Wilson, Russell, Laura, and Blind Al (and Mary Puppins), 7000 words, T, no archive warnings apply. Twenty-two-year-old Russell pops up at Wade’s place with a key, a sack of weed, and a guitar. No one but Logan is at all surprised by this.
ace attorney is a perfect franchise for anyone who likes men who are cringefail. every man in ace attorney is at least a little cringefail. try and name one who isn’t. you can’t
Everyone in the notes trying to claim that so-and-so man isn’t cringefail is a coward. Yes klavier gavin is cringefail. Yes shi long lang is cringefail. Yes gumshoe is cringefail (and I am quite frankly horrified that you would try to imply that he isn’t). Literally everyone in this franchise is cringefail to some extent except for… Her
I know I’m not the first person to say this but fandom’s seeming need to shove any character dynamic into some kind of familial role (siblings, father-son, mother-daughter etc) increasingly feels just as stifling and dismissive of platonic love as making every relationship romantic does.
I dunno man do you view all of your close friends as siblings cause I sure don’t. and I definitely don’t think of them as parents
like “found family” is called that because it is a group of people that you love as fiercely and unconditionally as society dictates you should love your family. not because everyone can literally fit neatly into the role of mother-father-children.
if I were to be really cynical l’d say an underlying reason behind this is just to make sure no one ships a ship that you dislike. if you can loud enough about them being “siblings” for it to become fanon, then shipping them romantically becomes icky and weird and “basically pseudo incest” even if there’s nothing in the source material to back those feelings up
This is how I imagine @copperbadge dresses when going out
Hell, I wish I had that level of drip. Unfortunately the vast majority of my looks are “I am capable of dropping $200 at Old Navy, but only just.” Don’t tell the readers.
(I realize his looks are possibly thrifted, but thrifting comes with its own challenges; I’m not saying I’m too broke to look like that, just not fashionable enough.)

My mom accidentally joined a grieving support group (long story, she’s not grieving tho) and she’s missing it this week while visiting me and she’s VERY concerned that Lorraine, who very kindly offered to bring a baked good like mom usually would, will NOT bring the correct kind of dessert, she says citrus tarts aren’t “griefy” enough
ok so the way my mom accidentally joined a grieving support group when she’s not grieving is this:
She’s Catholic and has two churches. One is her Real Church but it’s far from her house and tbh all the nice priests have died and the new priests are either lackluster or extremely conservative so sometimes she goes to the Other Church which is closer and more liberal but which she won’t join permanently because she doesn’t want to “cede the territory” of her Real Church to the conservatives (this is all backstory for flavor don’t worry about it). Other Church once announced they were looking for volunteers for, like, a grief squad? Basically if someone was having a funeral but no one showed up to attend, the church would call in the squad and they’d mourn for the dead person and pray (which is important for Catholics because we believe you need that oomph to actually get to Heaven, don’t worry about it). Anyway mom thought that was a nice concept so the next time she went back to Real Church she asked the head usher if they wanted to put together a similar squad there. The usher was like, oh we have one of those! It’s every Wednesday night, you should join.
The miscommunication: the usher didn’t understand the purpose of the squad mom was describing, just heard “grieving and mourning” and went to the next closest thing. Because my mom showed up to the Wednesday meeting and discovered a group of widows and widowers who are there to, like, discuss their own losses?
Why didn’t my mom just leave when she realized the mistake? Great question. She had baked a cake (chocolate) thinking that would be appreciated (apparently funerals without real mourners are very short and boring) and she didn’t want it to go to waste.
She stayed in the support group!! And has been attending! For a full YEAR.
She explained to the group leader that she isn’t a widow and doesn’t have anyone to grieve but all they said was “well everyone’s lost somebody. Or will.” So now my mom goes to the weekly meeting with her baked goods because she 1) doesn’t want to be rude and leave the group and 2) apparently grieving people are the Most happy to get cookies so she gets to practice all these bonkers recipes shes wanted to try.
In mom’s opinion the best kinds of dessert for grief is chocolate and caramel, or any kind of crunchy candy confection. Lemon and cream is “not mournful enough.” She’s absolutely wild I love her
I was like, “This will either be amazing, or I’ll turn it off in 30 seconds.”
I’m posting the link here, so.
Phenomenal. I didn’t think anyone could top Faith No More’s cover from Nativity in Black, but damn. Everyone on that stage understood the assignment and nailed it like never before.
