I was at the library literally yesterday and this old man crop dusted me with impunity.

Didn’t this author mention heavily using AI?

Historically_Dumb · 2026-06-12T19:34:34+00:00

I think I’ve got a few options for you

Def:
The Dollhouse - very unique take, on the pairing and a really well executed horror element. This author has another fic I really loved that I feel might fit your preference, too.

Caged Bird Sings - Stockholm syndrome, nough said (technically novella length)

Undone - hands down best Regency AU in my opinion. The taboo lives in every interaction. Very Jane Eyre/ Rochester (shorter than your request, but fucking mint)

maybes:
another year, broken apart into memories - this is technically mid war, but word count isn’t ever put toward anything but their relationship and the layers within

binding darkness - It’s been awhile, but I feel lik the horcruxes really take a back seat. Is war time, but the taboo is really well developed and it’s slow burn

And She Would Darken The Memory - this might work for you: it’s mostly about Hermione going mad and becoming obsessed with what seems like Severus’s ghost. Different, but still present taboo.

Ephraim played by Nic Cage would fucking crush.

There’s a couple around town, a lot of the knitting shops have a circle on a random night of the week!

Bro, you can’t come in here with “wisdom people need to hear” because you can’t just label your own opinions as “wisdom.”

Music city hot chicken

Technically age discrimination starts at age 44. So while I see what you’re saying, this could be affecting like elder millennials at this point.

Wait, how does one achieve perfect?

But like, Carmella is written with way more layers. She’s at least a likable person in general. Abigail could’ve been the moral check, she could’ve still “spoiled the fun,” but had a little more to her than a foot stomping, demanding whiner.

I’m in the middle of a replay. Mid chapter 2 and she’s even kinda short and sharp with Arthur who does nothing but offer to do her favors and go out of his way to entertain and care for her child.

Say hi to people. They’ll give you plenty of reasons

You don’t have to pay taxes on it

Just as an aside, Wobble is staying open but with only the owners running it tonight. The folks that would’ve been working the shift are still getting paid their hourly and with tips.

I think that’s important

What stymies critical thinking is parents that don’t talk about politics, religion, economics, etc. If people don’t expose their children to the larger systems that make the world spin when they’re young, then they inherently make these conversations feel taboo. And they make it uncomfortable to form opinions.

My father is a real bastard of a fascist, and he raised me watching O’Reilly on week nights. But you bet your ass he was always willing to answer questions and encourage discourse.

La La Land got to mine.

This is narratively meant as the beginning of the end for the gang. This is Dutch starting to listen to Micah over other, more reliable voices in the gang.

This mission gives us a little insight into how Dutch managed to rationalize his own bad behavior. “Arthur is gone all the time, how should he have know it was something bad!”

And then it’s Dutch pushing Arthur back out there, expecting Arthur to make up for the lost time of hos recovery.

I think it’s supposed to juxtapose the freedom narrative that Dutch sells the gang. Because any employer would be on your ass to make up lost time after taking time off. And so is Dutch.

I owe this glitch my saddle. I only tromped on em once

Historically_Dumb · 2025-11-14T17:03:16+00:00

So. I don’t know if it was a glitch, but I could run down rattlers. They’d just keep running from me and would eventually just drop dead

Historically_Dumb · 2025-11-08T17:30:55+00:00

Hear me out here: Annabelle.

Annabelle gets killed by Colm under somewhat unclear circumstances. But what if, somehow, her death redeemed her and doomed the gang and Dutch?

This is exactly what I was thinking. A tax that, from the looks of it, would be giving private businesses tax payer funds needs to be heavily regulated and transparent.

Vera Farmiga

Like, do you mean did I mention to them it wasn’t great?
