(post-3x05 kacy scene)

Warm fingertips press down against the thin skin on the inside of her wrist, a melody she knows that she knows but can’t quite place in the early grey of the morning, the sun rising, muted, through the low clouds outside the window. She was asleep a minute ago and there’s a dream quickly fading away as her eyes open slowly and the room shifts into focus.

“Morning,” Kate whispers, still sunken in her pillow.

“G’morning.” Lucy pulls the words from the back of her throat like she’s pulling cotton from a cattail. “Time s’it?”

Kate doesn’t roll over to check her phone. “Early,” she guesses. “Too early for our day off.”

A day off. A present for her jungle excursion, courtesy of Tennant. A whole day to let her body come down from the high of being chased through thick vegetation with a life hanging delicately in her hands. Lucy lets her eyes close again and sinks back into her pillow. She goes back to focusing on Kate’s fingers looped carefully around the wrist between them. Tap, tap, taptap. Tap, tap. A song, then. One that she knows but can’t quite place.

“Is that Boot Scootin Boogie?”

Kate exhales a short laugh. “Taylor Swift.”

“Who else would it be?” Lucy feels the bed shift as Kate slides a little closer. She can feel the soft heat coming off Kate’s bare arms and wants to reach for it, pull it back over her, close her eyes and slip back into sleep for just a little bit longer.

It was a long day yesterday, her nerves pulled to their breaking point. When she stepped over the threshold to their apartment, the weight she had been working so hard to push off came crashing down on her. She doesn’t remember tasting the pizza Kate ordered, doesn’t remember picking Love is Blind on the TV or queuing up where they left off. She doesn’t remember brushing her teeth or turning out the light.

She does remember Kate’s body warm behind her on the couch, her own body pressed to Kate’s front as they sat wrapped up in each other. She remembers Kate’s arms and how they wrapped low around her waist in bed and held her tightly. She remembers soft lips to her bare shoulder and I love you against her skin as she let the exhaustion take over.

She remembers the Kate of it all, the steady and warm and loving presence she’s come to need like oxygen in her lungs. She remembers the overwhelming feeling of love—one she thought she’d never find in a million years.

“I could sleep another hundred hours,” she admits, eyes still closed.

She feels Kate’s smile against the back of her hand. “You can. We have nothing planned today.”

The thought is so tempting. She could pull Kate’s arms around her, drape them over her like the light comforter they’re sharing, and let herself sink back into sleep. It’s not too far off; she could reach for it and be asleep in moments.

But Kate is awake and tapping out a Taylor Swift song against her pulse point and that usually means banana pancakes and a Golden Girls marathon and pressing Kate against the counter edge and kissing her until either their lungs start to burn or the pancakes start to smoke. Lucy loves those mornings and the way Kate tastes like the bites of bananas she snuck before mixing them into the batter.

“Did I dream yesterday?”

“Only if we were having the same nightmare.” Kate’s free hand pushes back some of Lucy’s hair. “Otherwise, it was real.”

Lucy slides her foot forward, curling her ankle around Kate’s calf. “I thought so.” She opens one eye, studying Kate’s profile. She’s committed it to memory by now. “I feel like a truck ran me over.”

“It did,” Kate murmurs. “That very much happened.”

Lucy sighs. Yesterday wasn’t a dream. She can see it vividly in her mind and she closes her eyes against it again, trying to fill it with Kate—Kate so close and so warm.

“I’m not ready to talk yet,” she admits. She isn’t. She can’t. She’s still working through her family in her own mind; she can’t possibly put into words what they’re like and what they’ve done to her and to each other.

“We don’t have to talk.” Kate’s voice is soft and genuine and Lucy thinks again—again and again—how lucky she is. “We can just lay here. We don’t have to do anything at all.”

Lucy knows Kate isn’t lying. She knows Kate won’t push and she won’t prod and she’ll let Lucy set the pace for when and where and how. And it sounds perfect—a whole day in bed with Kate and their bodies pressed close together, hidden away from the world.

But someone told her to live her life yesterday. Someone who had the courage to throw theirs to the wind and start over from scratch. Someone who proved that there are still good people in the world who want to do what’s right for the sake of doing the right thing. And even if she can’t talk about it yet, even if she’s not ready to unlock the ugly parts of her past and lay them out on the table, she’s not going to lay in bed all day and let the world just pass her by.

“No.” She opens both eyes, staring deeply into Kate’s brown ones. “Let’s get up. We can make pancakes.”

“Banana or blueberry?”

“Both,” she says, feeling greedy and not caring. “And bacon. And toast. And—“

Kate laughs. “Okay. Remember we can only eat so much.”

“I can eat so much. I’m from—“

“Texas, yes.” Kate laughs again and leans in, kissing Lucy softly and pulling away too soon.

Lucy thinks about chasing her, pressing her deep into the mattress and not stopping until she has to come up for air. But she settles on letting Kate pull away and slide out of bed, pulling her hair up into a ponytail that exposes the long line of her neck. In her thin tank top and her soft shorts, no one has ever looked more beautiful than Kate does right now.

Lucy may be holding some things back, may be keeping some things close to the vest, but this? This she wants to scream from the rooftops. This she wants everyone to know. This she wants to tell Kate.

“I love you.”

Kate looks back over her shoulder, a smile on her face that threatens to break through the grey clouds outside their window. “I love you too.”

Live your life, Lucy Tara.

Lucy smiles as she gets up and stretches her arms above her head, feeling the tension break in her shoulders. She is going to live her life. She’s going to take every moment and hold it tightly in her hands. She’s going to love Kate with every part of her that’s capable of it and when she’s ready she’ll tell Kate everything she wants to know.

“Lucy?”

Lucy looks up. “Hmm?”

“I said, we can make toast too. If you want.”

She thinks about it for a moment before she smiles. “Life is too short to skip the toast.”

Kate rolls her eyes, pulling the sheet back up on the bed. “Where did you read that?”

“That’s a Lucy Tara quote, free of charge.” She winks when Kate laughs and scrubs her hair back off her neck into a bun. “There’s more where those came from, by the way.”

“Lucky me,” Kate grumbles, still smiling.

“Yeah,” Lucy says softly. “Lucky you.” She holds Kate’s eyes for a moment. “Lucky us.”

Kate’s smile slips into shy before she clears her throat and gives the neatly-made bed one last pat. “Lucky us,” she echoes. She slips out of the bedroom and heads towards the kitchen, humming something under her breath.

Lucy watches her walk away and thinks: this is a good life. This is a life worth living.

She follows Kate.

ok so i saw a post (not mentioning it here directly bc no hate to the op of it, but im so annoyed by that plotpoint that i gotta rant) about the scene were they undragonfy zelda and it was all like

- no actually the people that are upset that both zelda and link returned fully perfectly intact dont get that it makes so much sense and is so cool actually bc its sonias time power amplified and reverseing both zelda and links arm so that she was never a dragon to begin with (thats why she doesnt retain any of its features) and link never lost his arm and its such a cool callback to when sonia amplified raurus light laser thing and the reason sonia didnt do it earlier is bc ghost cant be everywhere i guess :) -

i talked about this once before so i wont go super into detail but ... yeah that doesnt make that any less unsatisfying imo

aside from it just feeling like a thinly veiled excuse to return everyone to perfect and unblemished status quo more than a 'cool callback' it also annoys me on a game design level bc (as i mentioned in that older post too) why would you not include ANY of the signifiers of the time power when they do it? like the TÖK sound that goes off when you activate it, the world going black and white with that wave animation, and zelda actually transforming back like a reverse tp link wolf thing, ANYTHING? no its just sparkly light beam in ghost dimension town and sparkly poof everyones back :)))

also the implications of that even being possible is just .. making everything even more messy imo like if you can time reverse not just a persons body, or just PART of a body but also a SOUL being lost, over such a long time too.... that raises so many questions, if sonias able to do something like THAT how come she cant send someone back in time bc that tbh sounds way less complicated (on a sidenote is it jsut me or did anyone else feel like sonia talking to zelda -lol i cant help you control your powers you just gotta vibe with it and figure it out yourself bro- was a lead up to zelda .. actually getting control of her suddendly revealed time powers? or was that meant as in oh look she reversed a few weapons once :) bc it felt like it was meant to be she has to find out how to return to her own time USING HER POWERS .. and then its jsut kinda dropped, like so many more things and oh look a dragon :) )

but overall i just .... ok you can find a flimsy excuse for that scene but it still feels ... bad? like oh cool bad guys deaded once again for sure totally this time and everyones back to normal like nothing ever happened and also it even reversed even zeldas memory i guess so she literally cant remember anything and why anything like that was never done before that is bc of reasons(tm)

it just feels so meaningless, sure you can find some wobbly explanation for why something went like that instead of all the other possibilites but its just ... unsatisfying

am i meant to feel whole having returned everythign as if nothing ever happened? bc i just feel empty, especially on top of all the things that left me with such an empty feeling in the game it just puts the cardboard cherry on top of a cardboard cake, pretty to look at but shallow like cardboard and just as tasteless

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #ganondoodles rants #i think was the tag for that #of course im not telling anyone else how to feel about it #but TO ME its all just #did they run out of time and just started making the flimsiest excuses to why something went like that bc theyspent 3 years testing the glu #it jsut amplified my empty feeling #also it just solves itself #i thought about how it could go to bring her back so much and then it just kinda happens #no matter in what cool visuals and music you wrap something if its core is a tasteless mush i wont like it #it just all feels so much like an afterthought #and its making me sad over what could have been #even without rewriting it all like im doing #just changing a few things would make it much better #but what do i know #im just a random guy on the internet being frustrated about a video game

It is 4:30 ish am and I am awake for some reason so I’m zooming in on David Jenkin’s tweet

OKAY SO one of the skeleton has teeth, the tails are different, the hands do seem to spell “Ed,” the nose holes are different w/ spear holder, AND spear holder has more rib holes (8 vs heart holder’s 6)

I’ve been seeing theories that they could be both presenting Ed (especially w the spelling out his name thing) which it def could be! But also the mermaids just seem to be just a lil too physically different? I mean it still could support that theory (teeth and spear relating to violence vs no teeth and relating to emotion/vulnerability((?)) which could still be Ed but also with the difference in tails and nose holes could also not be ??? And why does one have more ribs than the other?? (I do think they’re both supposed to be Ed but oh boy with David I could be wrong)

#it is now 5 an excuse any mistakes and word mush okay #also what the FUCK does he mean by wrecking your ship :) #I think he’s just messing around but ??? idk #I haven’t checked if anyone else has analyzed the flag I’m just bored and awake #would love to know what other ppl are thinking tho or if I’ve missed anything #ofmd #our flag means death

Nah it’s fun! People like their ships, trust me I get it ahehehe /gen

But you just gonna come in here and throw some lady and the tramp bullshit at me???

madaleo + 22… pls. ty

ask game

…in a rush of adrenaline.

Leo was breathing heavy as the song came to an end, spotlight bright on his face. Nothing could be better than being on stage performing his music for people who loved him, with people he loved. The Knights and Double Face joint live had been an interesting proposal and Leo had been shocked that Tsukasa had allowed it, but with Madara at his side, Leo had never felt more alive in the spotlight.

Of course, there was another reason Double Face had wanted to do a joint live with Knights, and they'd go their separate ways after this set, but for the moment Leo wanted to savor everything.

The lights dimmed and the stage began moving down, allowing the stagehands to move set pieces and everyone to prepare a costume change. Leo's hand found Madara's in the dark before the taller man could run off to his other business and Leo used his other hand to reach up and pull Madara in for a kiss. It would mess up his makeup and slow both of them down, but Leo didn't care. For a brief moment it was just the two of them, everything else could wait.

#message in a bottle #anonymous #shay writes #madaleo #wow my brain feels like mush why did 8 hours of yarn detangling make my brain feel like garbage. #sob sob. well i'll leave the other 2 rqs for now... i'll do them tmrw #also in keeping with my goals i ended up writing 300 words for the fantasy au by unrelatable dude. #that was like. 10am? 11am? like right after church which eugh. whatever #anyway i'm gonna go play enstars and try and finish my starries and shared live.... #also why are knights and df doing a live together? does it matter if i can make both of them kiss? no #so idk you can make up your own reason it was just an excuse for me to have them both on stage together for this

my mental health lately has been garbage, the most garbage it's been in a long time. just crippling anxiety, can't sleep, cry if i hear music at the wrong time garbage.

i haven't run dogs since december, mostly because of terrible icy/warm weather, but my last run wasn't bad, slash was in single lead, looking good! but the past week? the thought of getting on the runners makes me feel ill. Anxious that things will go wrong (they probably won't). feeling that i am not capable or talented or in control (none of this is true), feeling that i haven't improved in this sport (also not true), that i'm behind. I want to do more, i want to be great, I want to be better. I want to be able to get on the runners and not worry instead of being sick to my stomach before I step on, only able to cure my anxiety once I realize I know what i'm doing (yet again). I want to feel like I can run without my husband on a bike behind me. I am crippled by my own ambitions and dreams. i'm one of the few malamute mushers. i'm one of the few malamute mushers with a small team that runs dogs 16km regularly. my mentor is proud of me, my peers tell me they look up to me, I trained these dogs from SCRATCH. I love them. I love this sport. the silence of running dogs in winter is one of my favorite feelings ever.

and yet. anxiety and self doubt festers in me. why? because I'm anxious the boys will have feelings at each other? That an off leash dog will come up to me? that i am otherwise incapable? i didn't use to worry about these things. i didn't even feel like i needed to have enough snow to brake and now the trail conditions must be perfect. before i am soothed.

i am running dogs tomorrow. no matter the conditions, no matter how bad i feel beforehand. no matter how sick or sore or anything else because i NEED to remind myself i AM capable and strong and trained these dogs well. will i still feel like mental crap after? maybe. but at least i will have tried...

#not dogs #kinda #personal #idk. guys. #a lot of this has to do with my fear of...the boys really hurting each other even though they barely bother each other in harness #or just in general i see people who started mushing when i did...accomplishing more #and i get frustrated #but they don't run malamutes i remind myself. how much of that is an excuse #idk.... #my competitive spirit is an evil i will always struggle to overcome #'you're so dedicated!' other mushers tell me and that compliment turns to ash in my mouth bc now that's added pressure

[sparfloxacin]

also can we talk about Olli asking if anyone wants a bass tutorial a bit more because sdsgsdgsd the way Olli practically RAN to make that bass tutorial after Aleksi had given him the green light 😭 I can imagine Olli having a boring Sunday afternoon just messing around on his phone/laptop and suddenly there's a message from Aleksi and Olli's so zoned out it takes him a while to even understand what he's talking about but when he does he perks up eyes shining and is like "hey that's super cool 😍" and maybe he had been considering making a tutorial earlier but hadn't had the nerve to ask and now he could just ask Aleksi to ask his people if they wanted some content from him and I just can't explain how bleeping cute that whole thing is!!! 😭💞 also there were definitely heart's (<3) at the end of each message they sent to each other, go ahead and prove me I'm wrong

YES!!! 🥺💕 I actually thought about this too! Olli being a bit unsure if he should do it or not and almost messaging Allu if he should but Allu got to sent the message first and Olli got a perfect chance to ask about it 💗😭 and still not over Olli saying how the stream (Aleksi) looks good 🥹

also did you see Allu’s smile when writing to Olli! 🥺 and bouncing his leg (was he nervous 👀) when waiting for an answer 😭

and yes there were definitely some hearts!! imagine if Allu had forgotten to change the screen and everyone would have seen them by accident 👀

If they actually make a stream/podcast/whatever together I will not survive that. If just them chatting without even seeing or hearing each other is that cute 💕😭

#my brain is mush so excuse my english #hope you get the point through #it was cute as hell and I could talk about this for WEEKS #feels unreal #they are THE CUTEST!!!!! #and sorry the answer is maybe a bit offtopic #thank you for the ask 🥰🥰 #asks #olliallu

[nilla-bear]

talking to someone who is so much smarter than you and saying things you don’t have a response to because you don’t know enough on the subject and then they say some shit like “that’s okay,” in a genuinely reassuring tone, and/or dumb the question down for you while also explaining the subject matter and giving examples so you understand better and not just making you feel dumb?? I appreciate you very much. (I am going to suck the soul out of you.)

#I cannot be normal about men who baby me in even the slightest ways #like I’m trying to come up with a response but I’m not able to finish a complete thought and/or stuttering and you say ITS OKAY??? #patronize me but in a loving way #are we feeling the daddy issues in the vibe here #telling my therapist about him this week #and to do this MULTIPLE times throughout the conversation and not getting annoyed once??? oh my god I need to touch grass dude #excuse my insane run on sentence my brain is mush
