I am so tickled by the thought of Daniel’s family seeing him at almost 80 branch out into a new social circle comprised of beautiful men in their 20s and 30s that are also the most intense and bizarre people anyone’s ever met and worse now Dad is acting Exactly Like Them
It’s all fun and games and laughing at BookTok until you can’t get on AO3 anymore, as someone who likes both romance and fanfic.
Vote Blue if you want to be able to read what you want to!
“I’m an english lit major and all I did was turn my love of the written word into a completely indoctrinated judge of "worth” that I can use to mock other people like a complete jackass"

Quoted tweet from @frijoliz: “You want the empire to remain in tact. that’s why you vote. you want it to continue while you somehow edit its perversions. i want it to fall, to crack, to rot. i want us to birth something new.”
Reply: “That is correct, madam. The things I want politically require state capacity, social trust, and a stable polity. A fallen, cracked, and rotten USA is just 90s Russia, complete with inevitable authoritarian beat up the neighbor revenge arc 20-30 years later.” End ID.]
“I want the empire to fall, to crack, to rot.” = “I either actively want a lot of people to die or I simply don’t care if they do.” Never forget that.
