#which is the planet of communication

[alphabetboyluvr]

I’ve never met a Virgo man before hehe but is the stereotype true that they’re all perfectionists??

there are always other factors that come into play so I don't like to blanket statement, but typically yes!!

#its not always in the way youd maybe think tho #my virgo boy is a perfectionist with his design work to the point where hes switched careers entirely cause he was never satisfied #but he also gets frustrated when things and situations dont play out as he envisaged them to / when things go wrong #much more so than i do!! #i think you can see it a lot in how i write jk #virgos are ruled by mercury #which is the planet of communication #and while theyre good at communicating logic and simple straightforward fact #theyre less adept at conveying more abstract thoughts #such as FEELINGS!!!! #and cause theyre perfectionists and dont wanna get it wrong they often choose to simply not comminicate at all! #so yeah #still luv virgos<3 #my faves <33 #ask

Thinking back on it, Danny probably should have been more wary of being given the title ‘Ender Of Timelines’.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #danny phantom #dc x dp #dcxdp #I guess any crossover but it’s the one I was thinking of at the time #probably a summon fic? #they’re like Oh Fuck Who Have These Cultists Brought In?!?! #panic. mayhem. chaos. #meanwhile Danny is like. you put ONE alternate universe version of yourself into your own CLONE and SUDDENLY it’s a PROBLEM #he steadfast ignores the other times he fucked with time and then refucked with it to fix it #arguably it’s a title that should go to Dark Danny who I’m calling Dante because #chefs kiss ITS GREAT #maybe it applies to both so it’s like. a coin toss who shows up #Dante is like. ugh. community service says I CANT. let me give you the most bored speech on the planet about loving the earth and making… #the most of your timeline. #you know. up until he actually NEEDS to go light some fires. which he’s maybe a bit too quick to jump in on as soon as he can #meanwhile Danny is like.

i think a part of the 'you have not begun to see the horrors of love' will include varun and alecto. like, what does it mean for two planets to love each other?

varun clearly likes her, if 'my green-and-yellow salt water thing' is anything to go by (side note: why green and yellow??? i guess the green is reference to the ocean, and the yellow means there's less trees, but still. what happened to earth????) and the feeling is mutual at least on nona's end, but how far back do they go?

earth being able to gift john necromancy implies, at least to me, that planets in general know what the river is. so have varun and earth been hitting each other up through that, and that's how alecto got her message out to the other planets as she and they were all dying?

Congratulations on possibly the most esoteric ship in the entire Locked Tomb fandom.

I think of Varun as her cousin, or older sibling, but however we want to look at it with our human frames of reference, I bet you're right. Varun does love Alecto, and somewhere down under all the fear and pain, Nona is still a part of Alecto and part of Alecto was Nona. She's capable of great love, too, even if she doesn't see it right now. Love on that scale, between planets and their ghosts, who knows what horrors that could lead to. Varun tried to destroy another planet and all its inhabitants because Alecto cried for help. It is asking Alecto to avenge it, to avenge all of them. What does that entail, to a planet? What will Alecto feel compelled to do for that love?

(And I think the 'green and yellow salt water thing' is a reference to the colors of Earth's landmasses seen from space. Green forests, yellow deserts, and salt water)

#maybe the planets could communicate telepathically using the River thats an interesting idea #or maybe they didn't need to #we as humans hear speech by sensing the vibrations created by another human in the air #there is no air to vibrate in space but all planets emit radiation #a small spectrum of which is visible light #a planet could 'see' or 'hear' another planet by sensing the radiation they emit #like whalesong #not that they usually have much to say I imagine #the message Noodle and Aim are carrying is much too simple for a human to understand #I can only imagine that it must be meant for a planet #the locked tomb #varun the eater #alecto the first #nona the ninth #ntn spoilers

ok i know this is quiet hours for most of my mutuals but guys if hypothetically someone were to steal your masters thesis how would you respond to that

#the men of this department really are something else #not f1 #context: we met the other day to discuss a separate thing #during that we were talking abt our research projects #the next time I saw him he was like what you were talking abt was so interesting I switched my own topic to that and joined your group! #I was like ok I was talking abt my research which I’m hoping to turn into a thesis but ok. fine #today I talk to him like how’s the research going then? he’s like goo! :) so good I might even turn it into a thesis! #ok ok. so my thesis. ur turning it into the same thesis as mine #peace and love on planet grad school. collaborate. cooperate. communicate

[sinclairstarz]

i just cant figure out a way to connect my two biggest hyperfixations of all time, community and stranger things, and this MIGHT be the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.

#a community au is ridiculous. #a crossover? dont even joke lad #this is absurd. #all i have in this world is pointing at byler and trobed and saying #‘look… silly best friends to lovers gay boys… theyre similar. right.’ #how can i build a loving a loving world for myself when my love is already divided into two worlds which can never meet. #how can i stand to stay divided forever when all i long for is a feeling of wholeness #this planet is a fucking prison. #stranger things #byler #community nbc #trobed #harpersays

if any of u ever wanna thread feel free to hmu.....because im not shy and i dont believe in being a weenie on the internet so i am definitely open 2 talk and to cut the shits..... but seriously i think at this point the only way to get anything meaningful from me writing wise is to talk to me and to come w. a plate full of ideas; also me not initiating first all the time, because like if i feel like i am then u dont hear from me until u actually come to me first for once.

#*･༓☾ ooc! lava rains on diamond planets. #/ ngl sometimes its tedious plottingaround here because u present and idea and u just get 'cool!' #/ instead of a 'yes and...' which is.... a key to plotting...??? #/ and maybe its because idc about how i come off to people #/ but i luv enthusiasm and in turn my enthusiasm being returned. #/ people in this community have made communication so hard #/ not for me tho.............. i dont believe in these quiet rules and rituals that thwart the social part of this hobby. #/ we would all b happier if we stopped caring about those period.

Being sooo brave rn (<- saw someone being wrong on the internet and did not engage with them)

#''people don't judge transmascs for wanting body hair literally everyone encourages it'' what PLANET. DO YOU LIVE ON #setting aside that it shouldn't be seen as inherently masculine considering everyone has it #trans dudes are often perceived as ''grosser'' the more masculine they are and the more masculine features they want #and that 100% happens with body hair. if you express wanting body hair as a trans guy plenty of people will be uncomfortable #mainly because of the narrative of ''poor little misled teen girls'' and the radfem idea of women and femininity being inherently good #while men and masculinity are deemed inherently evil #to bigots a trans guy is just a failed unattractive woman and people's true colors can show with that. #the post i saw was for transfems about their own experience with being judged whether they do or don't shave it #which is great and fine. but hey. why do you have to randomly throw transmascs under the bus at the end. that was completely unnecessary. #the amount of casual transandrophobia i see esp in my own community is just fucking depressing #sorry i'm done ranting now #hartlow speaks #vent

more of Them

one person gave birdie and fabin love in the notes of my last post about them so i'm taking that as permission to share my absolute favorite thing i've written featuring the two of them

His hands catch her around the waist and he yanks her out of the way, pressing her up against the wall in an alley. He leans in front of her, blocking sight from the street of her trembling frame. Birdie inhales sharply, feeling the heat of him only a breath away.

City soldiers shout and Fabin leans closer, his forearm resting on the stone wall behind Birdie's head. Her mud-crusted hair scrapes against the stones and she stares at Fabin’s shoulder, feeling her heart punch irregularly at her ribs. He smells like campfire wood and there is a strand of hair falling out of his bun that brushes her cheek and she can’t name this feeling but it’s overwhelming.

His breath fans over her cheek. Her fingers grasp his cloak, pulling it around the two of them like a curtain. The clatter of armor makes her shiver and Fabin’s other hand rests on the hilt of his sword, his body angled to be between her and the street. The sound passes after six sickeningly long heartbeats, but Birdie still can’t breathe.

She thinks of how he presses his cheek against the side of her head and Emilia’s amused smile. She can feel his gaze burning through her but can’t meet it, her fingers curled into his cloak.

Three more irregular jumps of her heart, then Fabin’s hand gently untangles hers from his cloak. His other arm is still on the wall behind her head.

“I think they’re gone,” he says lowly.

She inhales shakily. “Yeah. I think they are.” Her eyes flick up to his face, the strand of hair hanging just in front of his eyes. “Should we...go, then?”

He swallows and she wishes she could read him like runes, decipher the way his jaw shifts and ripples. She reaches up to brush the strand of hair out of his face, her fingertips barely kissing the corner of his eyebrow. He lets out a soft sigh. “We should.”

Neither of them move.

A loud crash echoes through the shadowed alley, echoing from somewhere deeper in the city. Campfire wood smoke shifts under Birdie's hands and Fabin's eyes break away, scanning the sun-drenched street beyond. His hand drifts from the wall behind her, cupping her face almost absentmindedly. “We're clear for now. We'll need to get back to the flat.”

Birdie sucks in another shaky breath. “Yes.”

His eyes dart back down to her. “Are you okay?”

She nods. “Yes.”

His mouth quirks. “Good.”

tagging @avrablake @oh-no-another-idea and @akindofmagictoo to share more of Them--whoever They may be to you--that makes ur brain vibrate at the speed of light. and as always open tag for anybody who wants an excuse to post about their Them!

#let's all take a second to remember that fabin is a dragon in human form and birdie is an unrepentant monsterfucker #i'm so normal about them. SO normal #writeblr #writeblr community #original fiction #the witch #the raedoran cycle #birdie #fabin #rb original #when i say they have me by the throat..... #fabin normally: the meanest nastiest bitch on the planet #fabin when birdie is scared: the softest and kindest motherfucker on the planet #fabin when birdie is in danger: willing to kill literally anyone to save her #birdie when fabin is in danger: willing to practically kill herself w magic to save him #which fabin HATES but he can't stop her #they're just so !!!!!!!!!!

[july-19th-club]

um. well i did read the writing from ten years ago and i have this to say about myself at nineteen: man shut the fuck up

#i do NOT like that guy . she was not a real cool dude #in my defense i was experiencing spn derangement for the first time while wildly depressed that year . which certainly contributed #but it's been ten years and i dont consider it an excuse for being the most obnoxious fucking guy on the planet #i have an anecdote in this mostly autobiographical manuscript about an argument i got into with a professor (he ripped me to shreds) #and i write that another classmate tells me i deserve it . and honestly because my writing at the time was of course biased in my own favor #i have no doubt that i DID deserve it. and every single page is like that. #this was not the head of department prof. this was the guy who was dressed to the nines every day and taught english despite #thinking that all english-related fields were intellectually insufficient and that you could never get anywhere in communications #he was bitter but . with the benefit of hindsight. was he wrong?

[lord-squiggletits]

The most unrealistic part about exRID is that people actually got mad about Jazz killing a cop.

#squiggposting #this is a shitpost but also that whole plot point genuinely pissed me off because it was so fucking stupid lmao #i would get it if it was framed as like 'he killed a human being!' but like #every single time the incident was brought up it was like 'jazz killed a cop he killed a cop he killed a cop he killed a cop' #to the point that journalists in fucking MEXICO were pissed off about a cop in THE USA getting killed #while he was firing on a group of injured and surrendering autobots no less #and like that ties into the whole 'autobots bad' plot which was stupid in itself #ah yes one single autobot killed one single cop in defense of his friends who were injured and surrendering #that's totally the same as the decepticons killing LITERALLY A BILLION HUMANS IN A PLANET WIDE RAID #anyways let's help the decepticons build their totally peaceful space commune in jupiter's orbit #that's totally peaceful and they definitely won't use it to attack us #because we apparently don't trust the decepticons but we do trust them enough to.... #help them BUILD A FUCKING BASE IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM???? #AFTER THEY ALREADY KILLED 1 BIL HUMAN BEINGS??? AND ONE OF THE DECEPTICONS ASKING US TO HELP BUILD THEIR COMMUNE #IS ONE OF THE FUCKING GUYS WHO WAS ON THE GROUND HELPING THE INVASION AND KILLING PEOPLE???

[falled-over]

i got a ds as my christmas present a few years back with a copy of animal crossing (which is considered a bad version of the game btw) and something i keep coming back to is these little objectively somewhat pointless interactions like going for a coffee. you just go to the cafe, and buy a cup. you drink it, and you leave. i always say goodbye before i go. im trying to say thanks. i cant really see any practical reason for doing it, it is objectively just a money suck, but i love doing it. at first i thought the little bird who runs it might open up to me but he doesnt seem the type, but i still like him, so i go and visit him. it feels so real. like he remembers me but doesnt like talking about it. its such an incredibly special and intimate feeling. i wonder if other games at the time were able to cultivate this or if it was unique

#ive only really played modern games where everything has a reward. it was so nice to do something so close to reality #im sure there might be some in game reason to do it but i dont know. maybe you get energy or something #i dont really care. i felt like i was forming a connection emotionally. i wish we still valued that in games #its the only thing im really interested in. #if you have any game recommendations for the ds lmk actually. my sister got a 3ds this year #its funny. i wanted a gaming console so bad as a kid. specifically a ds or a wii #and we have them now! and i dont much care about them. and im kind of glad. im glad i was forced to do something else #i do not look down on gaming as a hobby at all but i am glad its a smaller one for me #i would also like to talk about a similar feeling i felt when i played subnautica (which they took off the gamepass before i could finish i #what the fuck man.) #they briefly put the sequel on so obvi i gave it a shot but i feel it was terrible in comparison #something uniquely insane about the first one is the feeling of isolation. the deep fear #you crash land on the planet and immediately all your communication off-planet is cut and it seems everyone perished in the crash #you spend a couple of hours getting situated and then the ships core explodes. a huge shock wave shakes the entire planet #standing on top of my pod and looking out at the mountain-sized wreck was an insane feeling of isolation. you have to experience it. #and then you start picking up signals on your little tablet. other escape pods. the signals from previous missions who came to do research #you travel out. find food. build things. the whole time working towards seeing if you can find the other pods #each one #empty #often containing a log of their last moments. usually eaten by something. you got lucky #you landed in the only area without a massive predator. #you find alien tech. learn about a disease that wiped out the planet. the entire time you are completely alone #its such a unique feeling. no npcs. no story you have to follow if you dont want to. but god is there not much else. you'll get around to i #discovering the alien species is horrifying and amazing #its an incredible game and i think its sense of loneliness is its greatest achievement. being truly alone on an uncaring planet #sitting there and watching the fish swim by #its unmatched. truly #i would actually love game recommendations if you have any. i love games with unique story lines or characters too #im much more into stories than gameplay #which totally goes against what i just said about subnautica in theory but not in practice
