Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Here you go, Parker: [link] Rather long, very VERY good. t edit Sheesh, I didn't even notice that Atropa already provided the link, because I was in such a rush to Be A Helper. D'oh.

My therapist is excellent, but not in sync with me on pop culture (except for a tiny handful of things, like The Good Place and Shrill), so I can never quite explain my latest pop culture-related epiphany to her, which kills me. (I had to explain depressed!fat hero!Thor in Endgame to her so that I could talk about how much that resonated with me. And to her credit, she got it. But she really needs to watch some damn MCU movies.)

Because she and I could absolutely talk about this fic in a way that's very relevant to my life.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Thank you for the reminder that I should call my therapist, because after the last couple three weeks . . . . Jim's in Nashville, so I can read tonight.

I'm in the middle of re-reading it right now. Damn, that's good stuff.

By the end, I was flapping my hands and making "she's an atheist bodhisattva?!?" noises.

Okay, I don't have time to do a big dump of my GO fic recs, because the shit has hit my own personal fan in a big way today, but I'll throw this one out, because it is SCREAMINGLY funny, especially to anyone who's ever belonged to an online community: The Official Mr Fell Quarantine Thread.

You can't have a headcanon about a real person!

Oh, you sweet summer child.

That was my favorite line!
