kids are sleeping let’s meme

Jumping on the bandwagon because this meme has been all over my reading page!

Three Ships

Reylo (Star Wars Sequels): Actual cosmic soulmates kept apart by fate duty Kylo’s shitty, shitty life choices. Came for the heartache, stayed for the heartache.

Din/Bo-Katan (The Mandalorian): I shipped this from the moment Bo-Katan swaggered onto the screen, and then season three came and piled on the loyalty kink so thick I nearly died.

Byakuya/Renji (Bleach): What if loyalty kink and lovers kept apart by fate/duty/shitty life choices? This is one of those ships that is probably going to simmer in the back of my mind for the rest of eternity, even though I’ve pretty much 100% moved on from the rest of the canon.

First ever ship: James/Lily (Harry Potter). The day I found Mugglenet and learnt that other people shared my obsession with what happened between Lily’s rejection of James at age fifteen and their marriage several years later - that they were publishing their fantasies about it for everyone else to read - was the day transformative fandom sank its claws into me too deep to ever let go.

Last song: Demonon Vrosis - Rotting Christ

Last film: A documentary about a tragedy to which I am tangentially connected enough that watching it was a bad idea. I can’t really blog about it without halfway doxxing myself, but I don’t want to anyway because seeing the fan community discuss it all over social media like an ep of their favourite show is a not insignificant part of what’s fucking me up.

Currently reading: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. Not far enough in yet to know if I like it, but the aesthetic is gorgeous.

Currently watching: Nothing, really. I still have one episode left of OFMD season two but I’m so turned off by the spoilers that I probably won’t bother.

Currently consuming: A spoonful of bolognaise sauce, to check the seasoning. It’s nearly ready.

Currently craving: An uninterrupted night’s sleep but that’s not going to happen lmao.
