It Is November, And Yesterday It Felt Like It Was Supposed To Be Snowing. In Boston, November Used A

it is november, and yesterday it felt like it was supposed to be snowing. in boston, november used a winter month, not a fall month. it is supposed to be chilly; rarely capping over 45F. it is a sweater-and-jacket month. it is a "maybe a scarf too" month. in my childhood, november meant blizzards and sleet.

it did not snow. tomorrow the weather predicts a high of 76.

i have spent so many years of my life studying the longterm possibilities of climate change - the culmination of capitalism wreaking havoc on the bodies of people, animals, plants - but every so often i am still shocked by something small and personal.

in a hundred years, when someone goes outside in boston - will they know the feeling of "snow in the air"?

i know it's a learned feeling, a sensation that maybe only longterm experience can teach. a few years ago, i was walking with my friend who had just moved up from the south. i said it smells like snow and she gave me this look like - what the fuck. i said it feels like snow too, which didn't help. she looked up to the bright blue sky and then back at me and then back at the sky. 12 hours later, we had 3 inches. you can just tell if it's going to snow.

except i can't tell, anymore. i stand outside in a tee shirt and watch my dog dance around a lake. we're in a drought and the skin of the water has peeled back twenty meters. the lake is tamed, quiet, puddlelike and sour. my pokemon go app warns there's a weather condition in my area.

my dog gets too hot from running and sits in the water and i want to laugh about his long frame and how awkwardly he sits - and i can't. some simian part of my brain is scratching the walls. it was supposed to snow. it was supposed to snow, but now it's warm instead.

during the last full solar eclipse, the dogs and the birds and the crickets went crazy under utter darkness. we laughed at them then, promising it will all be okay in a moment. but some part of me is still locked in that long night: some animal sensation.

something is wrong, my body says. i can't afford eggs or rent. i go outside to watch a sunset and listen to birdsong. i don't bring a jacket. allergies are killing me this season, allergies i didn't have as a kid. everyone comments that halloween has started to feel strange, offkilter. that it's hard having "holiday cheer." my body thinks it's april, and then it thinks we're in september, and then june.

something is terribly wrong, she whispers. go outside. it is supposed to be snowing.

What if Guillermo can live forever (-being a vampire)

okay so please hear me out here, this has been in my head since we found out Guillermo can’t really truly be a vampire (due to his van helsing genes). I’ve heard theories that Guillermo could be some type of energy vampire but personally it just doesn’t sit right with me, so here is my alternative.

First of all, do you remember the witches who used semen spells to stay young forever? What if Guillermo, who already has a link with those witches and continues to keep in contact with them regularly and most likely at this point has at-least a rudimentary understanding of how the potions are made, ends up as a witch/wizard?

Guillermo takes/is given the recipe for the immortality potion by the witches, uses it to stay alive forever and be with Nandor and the other vampires, and to finally be a part of the world he’s always loved (though not in the way he’s truly wanted, but I feel he would come to terms with that and end up enjoying not having to kill people to stay alive).

And! Though this bit is NSFW (but what part of that show isn’t), Guillermo could either cut ties with the witches or become friends with them (get Nadja some more female/femme friends too so she can watch Mamma Mia with!) and get the semen for himself from Nandor. Be pretty easy if those two end up together (THEY BETTER) and become a thing, because as much as I love to head cannon characters as asexual, those two are not ace. So honestly it’s a win win WIN situation!

Now this could be totally wrong but it’s been stuck with me for months and I thought I’d atleast share it with some people! Let me know if this makes any sense at all, and if you have any questions on the logistics of how this would work that I did not explain! <333

I’ve been seeing some controversy about Chandlers sexuality…

“If friends was made today Chandler would be bisexual”

That’s our controversy! We have our fans who say that Chandler is straight and is not and would never be bi or gay, and if we want representation to go find another show. The other side is people who say chandler is bisexual or gay, no questions and pick fights with the other side.

In my opinion both sides are wrong.

Chandler is straight

But if he were bisexual, it would be for Joey

But not in the way he loves women, no. He would love Joey as more than a friend, but not as a lover. They’d get married for tax reasons but then play up the old married couple idea, just like they did when they got the duck and chicken.

Chandler is straight

Chandler being bi is a fun head cannon and it’s all good if you believe it, but remember it was the 90s and being gay was used as a joke, and bisexuality was very very nuanced in the media and even not real to many people.

Chandler is a very fun, sassy, kind, handsome, at times flamboyant (briefly), kind, ladies man. He has the leanings of a bisexual cis man, but is undeniably straight and is just the “token gay” of the friend group without being gay.

Let the queers make up their head cannons

And let the straights keep their old show

Neither side is wrong or right

Both just need to calm the hell down and realize Chandler is an amazing character who deserves attention and fan works, not controversy over his sexuality.

Do what makes you happy, just don’t do it if it hurts anyone (that includes the actors in friends, the directors of friends, the fans of friends).

Be good people and let poor chandler be a straight man very comfortable in his own sexuality, comfortable enough to answer questions like “which guy would you kiss” confidently and without reserve.

Chandler is not gay, bisexual, or anything other than straight in the friends that took place in the 90s, but if there were a reboot, Chandler would probably be bisexual.

Chandler is just perfect being a not so macho man, funny, straight guy.

It’s good to see him have a successful love life with it all

Sad we didn’t get a whole lot of pansexual Phoebe though, she was pretty obvious. Not in a “I thinks she’s gay, so she’s gay” more in a “she had the vibes, and I would not be surprised if you told me she dated a girl” (And there was the hole thing with Ross and Monica’s cousin but yknow)

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

(Chandler and Joey are Bert and Ernie btw. I take no arguments yet accept all questions on the matter)

A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.

man, re: immortal!klaus in the apocalypse five travels to, my brain whirs with ideas. like, five would genuinely just be a 13 year old kid, who found out that "hey, my whole FAMILY is dead, the whole WORLD is dead, and i haven't been here for any of it." and like, man. MAN. the angst! and klaus trying to be a good big brother!! the ghosts trying to be a good family, but still fighting and just oogh and its like, im just picturing five, spending this time with them all, stuck in the apocalypse for years and years, but he manages to find a solution faster this time because he's not alone. he's got his whole family helping him, supporting him, even though they're messy and dysfunctional and don't really know what they're doing either there is also just the straight up fact that klaus can actually contact the deceased of just. straight up professionals and theorists who can help five with the physics and spatial manipulation, etc, of it. and that also brings me into another thing of like, KLAUS DEVELOPMENT man has been scared of ghosts his whole life, but then ghosts are what helps him to survive. the thing that terrifies him is what nourishes him. (especially if, in this au, you assume that klaus has been living in the apocalypse for some time before five teleports in. which is... fucked up on its own. like man. MAN.)

"but aces and aros can be in relationships"

Yes, I know that, but do YOU know that aces and aros in relationships are still aces and aros? Do you internalize that? Are you aware that we don't just suddenly turn straight, or gay or anything else?

Yes, even demis

Are you aware that a sex repulsed asexual will still be sex repulsed even in a relationship, and so, might never fuck you?

Are you aware that a romance repulsed aro will still be romance repulsed even in a seemingly normative relationship and might not like doing typical romantic gestures and activities?

Are you aware that a sex neutral or positive asexual might not actually be sexually attracted to you at all even if they do fuck you?

Are you aware that a romance neutral or positive aro might not actually be romantically into you even if they are comfortable with typical romantic gestures?

Are you aware that our identities are just as permanent as yours?
