111 words? <3

dug into an old WIP for this cuz I've been struggling to make progress on the rest 😅 though this is also proving to be a difficult fic to tackle 🙈 Thank you! (co-credit to @narcissusbrokenmirror for helping me break through some thoughts on this)

“I don’t understand why you care so much about what you look like,” Luke remarks from the bed, boredom clear in his voice. 

“It just… helps me feel like me,” Reggie tries to explain from the other side of the wall. 

“That doesn’t make any sense.”

Reggie returns to Luke’s room with his fingers still in his hair, trying to make it sit properly. “Okay, so you know how when your hair gets too long? Or is cut too short?”

Luke nods as he sits up. “Yeah? Makes me feel all… I don’t know. Itchy.”

“Exactly.” Reggie dips back out to check his hair, immediately returning once he’s satisfied with it. He grabs his jacket off of the back of Luke’s chair and throws it on.

Hehe, more jatp fai au thought?

Okay but The Boys Vs The Internet...

-Before Reggie got sucked into the fairy realm the internet was just starting to be big. You know homeboy went to the library and joined obscure Star Wars forums and webrings and such.

-Luke is not interested in the Internet and Computers. He is still getting used to the television. He has no use for MORE weird future things that involve screens. (Also google keeps passive-aggressively correcting his Ye Olde Spellinge with 'did you mean ...' and it annoys him.)

-That is until Carlos shows him how to find music on Youtube.

-He is VERY UPSET to learn that in Reggie's time there was a channel that played music videos all day but now it's mostly 'Reality TV'.

-Reality TV is not real reality. The future is weird and he's too scared to ask what a Snookie is.

-Alex likes watching dance things on The Internets, as well as soft-spoken ladies explaining how to make or bake or draw something. Just hearing soothing English helps him feel safe (he's not in the fae realm anymore) and nap.

-Willie, of course, is the first to discover what the Internet Is For. Aka funny cat videos and porn.

-He stalks up to Ray with the laptop he got the boys and plonks it down and accusingly says: YOU SAID PEOPLE DIDN'T DO REVELRIES HERE.

-On the screen there is an orgy playing. At top volume. Ray accidentally full-screens it while trying to turn it off.

-He has to have another very long talk with the boys about pornography, realistic expectations, exploitation, consent, privacy, internet safety, and how to avoid getting viruses. (Though his advice just kind of leans to 'just don't... please... for my sanity...')

-Willie is very concerned their computer can get sick and goes to the smartest people he knows (Flynn and Julie) to ask how he can look at The Pornography without getting the computer sick.

-Julie nopes right out of that conversation and Flynn cackles but does give him a quick rundown of 'don't click on that' and 'don't download random shit' and also 'the nice gentlemen wanting to chat with you just want your credit card details, you have enough pretty boys already'.

-Willie already knows giving out your name is a Bad Idea from living with the fae... not giving out his (non-existent) credit card details is not too hard.

#luke experiencing the very 2010 experience of spending hours on vevo music channel on yt watching music clips #commenting “hello i am from colonnial era and this is my new favorite song” #okay i was about to rant on alex getting into the rabbit hole of roleplay asmr videos. which. i think he should. #but the porn got me. yes willie apparently they have revelries here and ray was definitely holding that from you #someone intro willie to nsfw art. theyr gonna love furry content. #i love how this skipped throught tiktok without talking abt trend dances. bc yuck. but the cosplaying. get to that.

Sometimes I draw comics where the characters are just nice to each other.

i can't express enough how much i love missy and malakai, their friendship and how they just get each other on such a deep level. how their aboriginality is expressed in how they dress and decorate their spaces (malakai often wears mob-owned brands, missy has an "always was always will be" sticker on her car and her hair tie during the footy game is black, red and yellow). how cheeky and playful they are with each other. how apparent it is when they're in scenes by themselves that they code-switch when talking to their non-aboriginal friends.

Flynn, after Julie's mom died: I've already sent good vibes your way… they’re coming. There’s nothing you can do to stop them.

Julie: This is the most threatening way I’ve ever been cheered up.

[narcissusbrokenmirror]

Alex: stop, I'm claustrophobic.

Luke: What does claustrophobic mean?

Reggie: I think it means he's afraid of Santa claus

Luke: HO HO HO

Reggie: STOP IT, LUKE, YOU'RE SCARING HIM

Julie: Do you even know who Lady Gaga is?

Reggie: Presumably the wife of Lord Gaga.
