Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

So...my sister just discovered TV Tropes, and I did what I had to do, and now I feel kinda mean.
One of my fandom friends got hired by them. I had no idea what to say when she told us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Go to the address on your paycheque and take pictures!"

No? Requires too much context?

Just tripping through my new-favourite-tumblr and stumbled onto a false equivalence between bondage and subjugation. Without source information for me to see if she's objecting to a consensual scenario, or something objectifying or what.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The tv tropes thing is such a bizarre part of our history. I'm still here. I feel totally broken.

I got ass-cappy on my sister, when she was just trying to enjoy her first hit. It was mean. But I don't let go easily.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aw, Allyson. Has your dad, I dunno, apologized?

It's just tense and weird. I went to see lorax with my niece and nephew. I can't believe this is my vacation and birthday. I wish I could jump on a plane and get home but then my mom will cry. When I get home I'll have a good sob. And I'll never do this again. I just feel a little homeless in that Los Angeles doesn't feel like home, and home feels like shit. Kind of midlife crisis-y in that I'm not quite sure what the fuck I am doing and I'm horribly unhappy. I just don't much like being alive any more. It's too much work and no reward.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so sorry, Allyson. Going home shouldn't be like that.

Sorry I'm a total fucking downer.

Allyson, I'm sorry this trip has been so hard. That sense of displacement and not being long and being sort of...Home-lacking is sucky. I wish things were easier for you.
