Having one of those weeks of "is this the monthly Malaise or am I about to have a real mental health rut"
#I think I feel a bit bad for not having seen success for a bit on a large project or one for other people#my to-do list... I'm trying#think I just feel socially weird too. as usual I would benefit from touching grass#I know I've been on more than is good for me lately and I'm just trying to distract from not liking how creative projects are going#or feeling lonely but not very socially confident for a while#for me social media is generally an extremely poor substitute for other forms of interaction (including other online interaction) too#it's like candy. it's fun in moderation but the more of it making up your diet the sicker you feel#and socially ambiguous in a nerve wracking way with how uncertainly part private/part public it is#especially on tumblr where so much interaction is indirect and one way. it's not how I function best I fear#it can be fun! I enjoy it much of the time. but it can also be very stressful and confusing.#a solid 'touch grass' (or touch snow) time is likely approaching if I feel weird a little longer haha#but jeez! I should knock some stuff off the list first.#I'm up too late tonight. I know that. lack of satisfaction on projects I know#okayyyyy I'll maybe prep one last thing (sunk cost fallacy) and go to sleep properly like I should've ages ago. morning will be rough.#I do miss the ways people interacted on Twitter#rambling#you should know half the time I have some way too long tags it's because I meant to say one thing and then just kept going without thinking#I think I talk too much online because offline I don't talk very much. not many people to talk to.

Tumblr media
peter never avoided you.
he was often busy with school work, community service and his spanish classes but he always made time for you no matter what.
today was different.
everything seemed fine till friday. the two of you studied till late that evening and peter decided to stay over as the two of you fell asleep, cuddled up in your bed. When you woke up on saturday, peter was missing. you didn’t think much of that because you weren’t up for the embarrassing comments from your parents.
now it was sunday morning and there was a lack of his good morning messages. there was nor one on saturday and neither one today. however, the thing that irked you the most was that he wasn’t replying to your texts either. you had sent him various messages, some asking about his whereabouts, a few random meme pictures in hopes that he’e reply with at least a crying-laughing emoji. but nothing came.
it was around 2 o’clock when you received a phone call and you literally threw yourself off the desk chair, seeing your boyfriend’s name flash as the caller.
“peter where the hell are you?!” you cut to the chase but he seemed to ignore your question. you heard him on the other side as he breathed out shallow breaths into the speaker of his phone, “w-what’s wrong?” you asked, suddenly worried that he was robbed or hurt somewhere in one of queens’s alleys.
“(y/n), come home, p-please.” he stuttered, his voice sounding a mix between a plea and a demand.
the call just disconnected as you were about to ask what had happened.
but there was no time to think now. you put on your shoes as adrenaline rushed through your veins, making you stumble as you rushed out of your house, ignoring the call of your name from your mom.
peter was basically your neighbour so it didn’t you too long to reach his place, two houses down the street you lived in.
you pressed the doorbell more than thrice before his uncle ben opened the door, looking at you in confusion, “hey, kid, peter’s-”
may peeked at you over her husband’s shoulder as she walked to the door as well, “did you know what happened to peter?” she asked, clear confusion written all over her face.
you shook your head quickly, “he called me...”
you picked at your nails, just wanting to run past the elderly couple so that you could find out what really happened to the sweet boy.
“you should go see him, he’s been acting...” ben and may shared a look before settling on a word.
“weird.” both of them uttered at the same time.
“i’ll look.” you nodded and quickly made your way upstairs to peter’s room, thanking the parkers on your way up.
you knocked at his door, which seemed weird, but you had to other option as you found the door locked from the inside.
after a few beats, he opened the door and you looked at him. his hair was sticking up, except for the few locks that were stuck to his forehead due to perspiration. he raised his hands up, “something is wrong.”
you looked at him with raised eyebrows. he moved back quickly, letting you in. you noticed the distance he kept from you, which caused a small ache to develop in your heart, but you quickly diverted your attention to the condition his room was in.
there were food containers, bowls, packets of flavoured yogurt sprawled all over his work desk. now peter was a pretty tidy guy– or so you’d made him– so this was new.
the chair he usually sat on had it’s left armrest broken. there were papers– his notes– all over the room, some on his bed, some on the floor.
“peter... what the fuc-”
“i know!” peter exclaimed, “baby, please tell me i’m not hallucinating or... or am i going crazy?!”
“peter what’s wrong?” your voice, dripping with concern, made him look up and just as you took a step towards him, he took one back. a look of hurt flashed across your face.
“no. no, no, no.” peter quickly, “let me explain.” you sighed and nodded, letting him continue, “yesterday, a spider bit me.”
“huh?”
peter continued, ignoring the worried look you gave him, “(y/n), i’m sticking to everything! and i’m... i’ve gotten super strong! i broke that chair.” he pointed, his adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he gulped, “i think there was something wrong with that spider.”
“peter i-” you weren’t sure if moving closer to him was a good idea because he’d just back away, “are you... high?”
“what?!” he stared at you with squinted eyes.
“i think you need... rest?” his expression now mirrored your. there was too much confusion in the moment.
“you don’t believe me.” peter sighed in defeat.
“hey, hey. it’s not that, baby...” he shook his head as you trailed off.
“i can prove it.” all you could do was stare at him as he walked towards his desk, placing one of his fingers over the theoretical physics book, the heaviest among all the other books of peter’s. he pulled it up and then the book was in the air, stuck to his finger as if there was an adhesive between the two surfaces.
“holy-!” you almost screamed, now taking a step away from him.
he tried shaking his fingers but the book just wiggled in air, “h-how are... how the fuck are you doing that?!”
it was getting hard to breathe properly as he forced the book away from his fingers, the cover getting damaged in the process. now you understood all the pages on the floor. your eyes trailed over them again and you noticed the torn parts of papers.
“you’re sticky...” you mumbled out and looked at peter. he nodded in agreement.
“i thought the spider bite was making me hallucinate but...”
you took a deep breath, still trying to wrap your head around all of it.
“i’m sorry i didn’t want you to come close because i didn’t want to hurt you.” he explained, frowned eyes, looking into yours.
you held eye contact with him as you slowly took a step towards him, then another, and another until you were standing right in front of him, “you won’t hurt me, peter.” you assured.
“i won’t but-”
“just shh.” you placed a gentle hand over his cheek. he was sweating profusely, you noticed now but you didn’t care as he leaned into your touch, “it’s just your hands, right?”
your voice pulled him out from his slight trance, “what?”
“my hand is not going to stick to your cheek... right?” you asked, afraid to test it out.
“i honestly don’t know...” peter said, nervous to know himself.
thankfully, you were able to easily pull away your hand, taking a sigh of relief.
“what about other parts of you?”
a blush covered his cheeks at your question, “i- uh.. i-i’m sorry what-”
“like your lips?”
“are you willing to kiss me and find-” before he could finish his sentence, your hand grabbed another piece of paper from his desk and smacked it over his lips.
as soon as you left the paper, it floated down to the floor and you gave him a grin, “i can still kiss you!” peter stood there, giving you a blank look which made you chuckle, “sorry.”
“does this mean we can’t hold hands anymore?” peter asked, feeling a little at ease now that you were here with him. it gave him a sense of calm in your presence. in this moment. his senses didn’t feel on override. he was just trying to focus on you and your cute thinking face.
“maybe you should relax a little.” you looked at him, eyes softly boring into his soft, brown ones.
“how?” you offered him a hand and after slight hesitation, he placed his palm against yours. you grabbed his hand, squeezing it gently.
“maybe don’t try to focus on the ‘i’m super sticky, i stick to everything i see’ part?” you suggested, making him laugh. you took a deep breath, prompting him to do the same and it seemed to work. peter released your hand and it just fell to your side, as it would normally have.
peter gave you a huge smile, wrapping his arms around your waist, “god, you don’t wanna know how much i hated staying away from you!”
you chuckled, giving him a quick kiss. pulling back too soon for peter’s liking. however, before he could protest or pull you back for another kiss, you patted his chest twice.
“okay, sticky guy, go take a shower now.”

Shake a'lil Ass
OPLA Reaction to you shaking ass, and shaking it well.
I already told yall this was my current hyperfixation I'm going all in and losing my fucking marbles in the process. Uhhhh yeah! Enjoy
Warnings: none really? like may e a PINCH of nsfw but you'll live lol, metions of shakin ass, and catching it.
Zoro
Tumblr media
-Not really a jaw drop but his eyes get kinda big. Like he knew you had ass but to see it move like fuckin water was definitely an awakening
-Won't go out of his way to stare but will side-eye the fuck outta you when you do like a lil twerk, just barely shaking your ass in little circles. He loves that tbh.
-NOW IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY IF Y'ALL ARE IN AN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP
-Not that he's not gonna be mad if you're shaking as in one of the various bars they made to find their way in cause he can fight. God forbid some stranger tries to catch what is rightfully his. It's game over
-On the off chance that he actually dances with you, be prepared for his hands to be on your hips, handling anything you throw back. You might even get him to bite his lip a lil.
-If you ask him to shake ass he won't. you WILL NOT convince him. Even if it's just for a little bit, and no one is around. No ma'am no ham no spam
Luffy
Tumblr media
-The first time he caught you twerk a lil bit was when you happened to be mopping the deck. However, the mop acted as a pole for you to keep your balance while you were in more or less a squat position, ass moving up and down.
-“What are you doing?”
-He really didn’t know what that was but he knew for a FACT he had to see it again…for research and demonstration purposes.
-Tried to catch it, but kinda of failed. Doesn’t try again but will definitely watch you when you throw it back.
-Doesn’t really have a problem with you finding another dance partner that can shake ass with you.
-He's already 5 steps ahead when a dude tries to come behind you.
-Just know before he can get his hands on you he’s being yanked back by a stretchy pair of arms and a smile that is more threatening than friendly
-He’s loved dancing with you and is more than happy to keep his hands on your hips when you throw it slow.
-His eyes get this kinda low, focused look, and somehow his lip always ends up tucked between his teeth. And there’s ALWAYS a blush rising to his cheeks.
-Gives a low, “okayyyyy.” To kinda hype you up
-What can he say his girl's so talented and beautiful and he gets to have her allll to himself.
-WHAT?! He’s allowed to be a bit possessive 😌
Sanji
Tumblr media
-GYATTTT DAMN. Like he's stared before cause who wouldn't stare at you even when you're not twerking.
-The MINUTE he hears a beat drop and sees you sprint over to a space wide enough for your antics he's up and ready to protect you from creeps. (but also there to enjoy the show tbh)
-Never seen somebody twerk in a split before but now he has and the memory of you is tucked in a special folder in his brain...for safekeeping.
-Personally, he likes it when you have your random twerk moments. it could be the most simple task you're doing and you sneak in a lil jiggle just cause.
-In an established relationship best believes he's behind you, trying his damndest to keep up. one hand on your hip, the other taking a drag from his cigarette.
-Ok...maybe he'll try a little shake if you ask long enough, and he surprisingly got some cake back there. (whatchu doin with all that ass)
Nami
Tumblr media
-That's my best friend, she a real bad bitch
-As your certified bestie... 9 times out of 10 she's shaking ass with you...her knees pop sometimes (hot girls with bad joints)
-Give her a break she don't do this often
-She tries and has gotten significantly better, learning from the best (you)
-In a relationship with her best believe your shakin ass on her. Like that's a given and gad damn can she catch whatever is thrown at her.
-She gets hella into it too, a focused look in her eyes with her lower lip tucked between her teeth
-Good music? a few drink in your systems? I mean there's already a dance circle formjng and there the two of you are throwing ass and catchign it for one another.
-She shakes her thighs a lot when shes alone and that ultimately turns into a lil twerk circle when shes feelin herself.
-'Oh wow...my ass kinda fat in this?" she smiles, turnng to the side to admire her figure.
-She gets kinda silly with it, chanting 'aye aye aye" or "fuck it up! fuck it up!"
-Nami = best twerk partner
Usopp
Tumblr media
-Thinks he can catch it
-Is quickly proven TF WRONG. He miscalculated how much effort goes into that and damn he got overwhelmed fast
-Jesus Christ woman why you got so much ass like wtf
-He can’t catch it but he will grab two big handfuls of it when the chance arises
-Please throw it back slow on him- he’s literally gonna disintegrate omg.
-Yes he will shake ass with you
-Like Nami he will also hype you up
-Runs with you to the floor when the first few notes of back that ass up play. It’s serious business
-Don't let him get some drinks in his system cause ya'll will be in a nice little corner, lights just dim enough, your back to his front, the both of yall fuckin it up
Shanks
Tumblr media
-PLEASE feel free to shake ass cause he's gonna watch, catch, and grind without a care in the world.
-The first time he caught you it was just a little jiggle, nothing more but as the drinks progresses, the more comfortable you got.
-Mans is kinda hypnotized with the way you move, like the circles, whew
-Can catch it VERY well. Only once did he falter a bit, stumbling only a pinch but he blamed it on the alcohol (no jamie foxx)
-really liked when you twerk show, purposefully pressing agaisnt him. but also
-Will squeeze the plush of your ass when you do, and I mean a handful of your ass is in his hand.
-Set his drink on top of it when you go slow because he knows you won't spill it. You'll get justtttt close enough but your hips are so calculated you don't.
-Get him drunk enough he'll shake some ass, only with you tho. dont tell him about it the next day, he'll deny deny deny with that stupid smile on his face.
Buggy
Tumblr media
-I don't think we need to beat around the bush here. THIS MAN LOVES YOU AND YOUR ASS.
-He can catch it...sometimes. No there will not be further elaboration.
-Oh the occasion that he can successfully handle the way you move he manages to pull your hips onto him, loving the feeling of you shaking it slower
-It doesn't take much convincing to get him to twerk with you. he might ask why but will put his hands on his knees to prepare for your tutorial anyway.
-Now you wanna talk about the sound of rattling bones.... yes he tried to shake ass...but the thing is he doesn't really have any ass to shake so it just...its comical
-He's well aware of the fatty you got, hell he can't keep his hands from landing harsh smacks whenever he gets a chance. Don't let him catch you throwin it back 'cause he's gonna have the time of his life slapping it.
-Damn near fucking while dancing I mean it gets kinda nastyyyyy
-Saw you wall twerk, hasn't been the same since
-Not when he isn't particularly in the mood to dance, he loves to watch, and that's even better because he has an excuse to fuck up the next person to try and lay hands on what his.

WIP Game - Ice Gets Divorced Snippet
Okayyyyy next up we have Ice Gets Divorced. Snippet of my progress on this one is below. Warning for alcohol: Ice is, what's the word? Ah, right. Wasted.
He lets his mind wander a bit—sliding along all the work he hasn’t done today, as he sat in a room with two lawyers and Sarah and attempted to separate their lives after over a decade of marriage. The lawyers keep saying they’re moving quickly, that it’s so nice to see such an amicable divorce, that actually things are going really smoothly, but all Ice feels is tired and heartsick. Sarah didn’t look much better today. It’s tax season, so she’s got to be run off her feet. Ice doesn’t know if it’s his place to ask about that anymore, offer to help. And he’s back to the divorce. He sighs, and takes another swig of vodka. He wonders what Mav’s doing tonight. Mav’s been a rock—for them both, Ice thinks, though he can’t confirm that. He showed up at Ice’s hotel that first night with a case of beer and dinner, made sure Ice wasn’t alone as he tried to process what the fuck just happened. He’s watched the kids during after work meetings with the attorneys, sent Ice more than a few house listings that Ice hasn’t had time to look at, and has definitely been playing ball with his COs more than normal. Probably to give Ice a break. Ice smiles to himself, reluctantly fond. He hasn’t seen Mav in days, really. He hasn’t seen anyone but his staff and the lawyers and… well, today, Sarah. Ice grits his teeth through the sudden wave of loneliness, the silence of the room looming up and around him, threatening to choke him. Suddenly, sickeningly, he feels like he might be the only person left in the world. Abruptly, if he doesn’t talk to a person in the next minute, he is very aware that he is going to scream. He doesn’t quite register the decision to pick up the hotel phone and dial a number until the phone is already ringing in his hands. “‘Lo,” says a warm, familiar tenor, groggy with sleep. “Is someone fuckin’ dying?” “Mav,” Ice says, and sort of slumps into the arm of the couch, ridiculously relieved for no goddamn reason at all. “Mav, this hotel is fucking depressing as shit.” “...Ice?” Mav asks, sounding incredulous. “Yeah,” Ice says, because who the fuck else could it be. “Are you drunk?” Ice thinks about it. “Yes,” he decides.

A Comprehensive Rating of all The New Nike Kits that Literally No One Asked Me For:
starting off strong with England:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
listen when i first saw this i was like hmm okay 😐, then i saw it on the players and i was like hmmm okayyyyy 💅💅
home is clean, classic - i like it. collar is a choice but i think it works, sleeves are nice, retro kits slay always - 8/10
controversial but purple as a colour in general sucks. however, i would barely call this away kit purple, the charcoal vibe is actually fucking sexy. it’s almost a grey kit, and a grey kit is almost a black kit, and i love black kits. love the pattern down the side, love the gold, my only reservation is that it looks like a training kit (specifically that ugly purple kit the lionesses had a few years ago) - 7.5/10
special shout-out to that eyesore of a goalie kit, i absolutely fucking love it
——
now Portugal is a serving us a game of two halves:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the home is… a kit. it’s nice, it’s clean, but it literally could not be less forgettable. it’s fine - 5/10
the away on the other hand - masterpiece. that pattern is actually gorgeous, colours are so cute, and it’s actually unique! love when kits have nods to culture/history- 10/10, stunning
——
United States - yea girl give us nothing!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
listen the home is fine. but one word springs to mind and that word is boring. where’s the flavour? the flag collar saves it - 6/10
the away is absolutely vile i fucking hate that- 1/10
—-
France said how big can we possibly make our badge:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
again home is fine. it’s nothing special, it’s clean, it’s whatever, it’s a home kit. i’m bored. however both kits suffer from the ailment of that absolute fucking monster chicken. why is it so huge - 5/10
the away is nicer. pinstripe is nothing to write home about, but at least there’s a little something something going on. again, the chicken is hard to get past - 6.5/10
—-
Canada gave us the classics
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these are both nice kits. the home is proof that nike do know how to make plain kits that don’t look like they just stuck a badge on a primark t-shirt. simple done well - 8/10
again, the away is simple but effective. does look a bit like an exercise book, but that’s fine. sleek, classy, it’s a decent kit - 7/10
—-
Brazil proves once again that they know the meaning of cool:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
listen, when the colour scheme of your team is yellow and green, you just have to commit to garish. this kit is an eyesore in a good way. this is not a great picture of the pattern but let me tell you it’s gorgeous. i’m not sure about this weird collar though, it looks fine on some of these other kits but idk it’s just not doing it for me here - 8/10
again, this away pattern is hurting my eyes just looking at it, but i like it a lot. makes me wanna go to the beach. brazil knows who they are, and you will know about it. nice colour, bit of fun! more fun kits please! - 7.5/10
—-
just like it’s football team, Poland’s kits are pretty forgettable:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah sorry poland i really don’t know what to tell you here, it’s just really fucking dull. the collar does look nice here, but other than that it’s really not saying much - 4/10
again, not much to say. this does have a bit of a cross stitch pattern which i quite like, but other than that it’s average. normally i like a centred badge but here it just looks like weird. think it’s too big. sorry poland - 5.5/10
—-
sorry Turkey, the only thing worse than boring, is being boring and ugly:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this away shirt makes polands kit look like the sistine chapel. i can’t even comment because there is absolutely nothing going on - 3/10
and yet somehow… the home kit is worse. i will never be a fan of a block stripe across the chest. the centred badge might have worked if it didn’t have a circle around it. boring and ugly - 2/10
—-
meanwhile, South Korea blew it out the fucking water!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now this is how you make a kit! take notes turkey! this home kit is literally beautiful. colour is stunning, pattern is gorgeous! 11/10 no notes
and it doesn’t stop there! black kits are stunning anyway, but this?! i adore it. so fun, so sleek. - 10/10
—-
The Netherlands just couldn’t really be arsed:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i fucking hate this. orange kits done well are beautiful, and this is neither one of those things. at least the players will be up to code if they visit a construction site. the colour is quite literally named ‘safety orange’ - 2/10
the away kit is alright. i quite like it, the patterns decent. the colours are nice. it does look a bit like a bus seat though. - 5.5/10
—-
China took the stripped back approach :

Tumblr media
The air was cool as the group of seven walked down the old traditional house. Lanterns were hung outside and looked like fireflies from a distance. Everyone huddled around Toyla as he knelt on the ground and drew a rough layout of what the house would look like inside. “We enter through the front courtyard, antechamber, middle courtyard, main chamber.” He said, pointing to each section. 
“We sweep the entirety.” Kaz walked to the front door to pick the lock, Wylan stepped forward and stood beside him. “How long will it take you to set up?”
Wylan bounced on the balls of his feet, “I can have the door open in about five minutes. And if Ohval trips it, we have two minutes before the firecrackers go off to get out.”
“Even if she returned prematurely, we cannot leave without the blade.” Inej’s voice was stern as she stared at Kaz. He turned around to face her, “Yes, the future of Ravka and my payment depend on it. I’m aware.” Jesper and Y/N shared an amused look.
“It’s more than the future of Ravka at stake.” Toyla spoke up, “If we fail, Shu Han, Fjerda, Ketterdam, and beyond, they will all feel the weight of the Darkling bare down on them.”
Jesper shivered, “Way to up the stakes.”
The click of the door opening drew everyone’s attention to Kaz as he pushed the two heavy doors open. It flowed into a beautiful garden with more lanterns hanging above them. Y/N smiled to herself as she looked around, following the others to the next door. Wylan took off his backpack and got to setting up the trap at the front door, Jesper quickly went after him.
The metal click of the door lock was heard again as Kaz got the doors open, “Jesper, we’re going in. Close the doors behind you.”
Screen doors slid open into a small waiting room. “Spread out.” Everyone walked in, taking up as much space as possible. Toyla’s head tilted, “I sense a heartbeat.”
“I thought the compound was empty,” Jesper stated.
“It’s faint. Further in the house.” As he spoke he stepped on a tile and it shifted under his foot. Automatically both screen doors closed. Inej, Jesper, and Toyla all tried to pull them open again to no avail. Inej pulled out her knife and stabbed the screen but it made no cut, not even a dent. “It’s impenetrable.” Kaz knocked his cane on the frames of the room, “The frames are made of metal.”
Jesper seethed, “They’re durast-made.”
A series of mechanical clicking from the left side of the room caught Y/N’s attention. She noticed a sand timer hung on the wall. Louder machinery sounds followed the flipping on the timer. “That does not sound good.” She muttered to herself. Pinkish-red smoke seeped through the roof of the room. “There’s something in the air.” Instantly everyone started coughing, the smoke taking their ability to breathe properly away from them.
“This is how we die.” Jesper coughed before he fell to the floor.
Toyla sat in the opposite corner and tried to get his breathing under control.
Inej gasped and leaned against the screen walls, losing her balance and falling to the floor. 
Kaz glanced over everyone in the room before letting his eyes make contact with Y/N’s for a moment longer. He too fell back losing consciousness. 
“Kaz.” Her voice was hoarse and quiet as she fell to her side, still able to keep her eyes on him but only for a moment before she rolled into darkness.
~
Ravka. She’d recognize the air anywhere, it’s what she missed most from her childhood. The scent of freshly plowed grass and apple blossoms. She opened her eyes expecting to be standing in front of her childhood home but frowned when she didn’t notice the house she stood in front of. A large two-story house painted light blue with brown roofing and a well-used wooden porch. Large fields surrounded the residence, not another house within eyesight. An uneven stone path lead to the porch steps Y/N stood on. Unease settled in her mind at the unfamiliarity of it all but her body stayed relaxed, as if familiar with the place. Joyous screams and laughter echoed from the back of the house. She walked down the steps and followed the sound of children around the side of the building. 
Two kids, one boy, and one girl, both with black hair and y/e/c eyes. “Mama!”
While confusion clouded a small part of her mind, she bent down with no control of her body and held her arms open for the children to run into. “My babies!” She placed kisses all over their small faces causing peels of squealing and giggles to fall from their lips, making her heart fill with a sense of love she’s never felt before. She sent them off to continue playing while she stayed seated in the grass. 
The obviously older boy picked up a wooden bow and ran away from the smaller girl who swung her wooden sword around carelessly. Shouts of how it was ‘unfair’ or ‘you’re running too fast’ filled the otherwise empty field. 
She sat there watching in wonder, she felt a smile settle on her lips but her mind was racing. She felt like she wasn’t in her own body, it didn’t feel like her. Her mind was vaguely aware of the poison slowly killing her, but her body felt so relaxed and blissfully unaware. Hallucinations. 
She was brought out of her train of thought when her ears picked up on the clicking on a cane she had grown familiar with. Before she could turn around to confirm who it was black tendrils of smoke surrounded her and held her firmly planted in her place. The joyful sounds from the children quickly turned into screams of terror and she felt the unmistakable heat of fire from behind her. She watched in horror as the peaceful life she had been thrown into was quickly burning before her eyes. 
“You didn’t actually think you’d be able to keep all of this, did you?” 
A chill ran down her spine as she was finally able to bring herself to stand up and turn around to see the Darkling standing on the back porch of the burning house. Her heart sunk to her stomach, a part of her still hoping to see the man with the cane she’d grown fond of. “What do you want?” Her teeth were clenched as she took a few steps forward while he walked down to meet her in the field. 
“Nothing to my benefit.” He moved to stand beside her and watched the roof cave in causing embers to flare up and dance through the air before cooling into ash. “This is what you’re capable of.”
“You don’t think I know that?” Her voice was strained with frustration. “I know what you created in me.”
“Do you? It seems to me that you’ve let them make you soft.”
Her head snapped to the side to look up at him. She knew who he was referring to. Her new friends, the Crows of Ketterdam. “They have nothing to do with who I am today. You should’ve known that one way or another, I’d wake up from the trance you held me under. I’d see who you truly are and what your intentions were. You underestimated me.”
“I never underestimated you, Y/N. I always knew what you were capable of and your potential. You can’t blame me for making sure I wouldn’t be on the receiving end of your wrath.” He reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear.
She grabbed his wrist, “Don’t touch me.” She backed away from him and let out a humorless laugh. She felt the poison move through her body, slowly grasping onto her lungs. “My body is dying and you still can’t leave me alone.”
“This is your hallucination, Y/N. I didn’t bring myself here.” Kirigan took a step forward, trying to get closer to her again. “This… Found family you’ve stumbled upon. You think you found a home with them?”
She held out her right hand at her side summoning a ball of fire to sit there. ‘Just in case.’ “What’s it to you? I left the Little Palace, I’m not your problem anymore.”
“It’s nothing to me, but I hope you remember that you’ll outlive all of them. Grisha always live far longer than any otkazat’sya and you know that. You’re setting yourself up for heartbreak all over again.” 
“A heartbreak like what? Like when you took me from my family? Like when you killed them? Like when I trusted you only to find out you were lying the entire time?” Her anger rose and her flame grew hotter to burn her hand just slightly.
“I did what I did for your benefit.”
“You killed my family for my benefit? You better not be expecting my gratitude. I was a child, Kirigan! They were my parents!” She was screaming at this point, losing all control of her emotions.
“They were holding you back!” He yelled. “And you know that. Look at you now. If it wasn’t for me taking you in and training you… If it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t be the most powerful inferni the world has ever seen.” He watched her in wonder, nothing but pride in his eyes.
Without her realizing she let her rage get the better of her. Her back burned from where her wings of fire flared behind her. They moved with her anger, flaring larger on the sides and standing tall behind her. She fell to her knees and sobbed, her hands scorching the ground where they rested. “You stare at me as if I’m a Saint.” Her eyes snapped up to his, “Look at me! You’ve made me a monster! If they were to see this, imagine the fear that would take over the people.”
“Fear isn’t an enemy. It’s a powerful ally. You are the Phoenix for a reason.” He walked to stand directly in front of her.
“I became the Phoenix because you wanted me to.” Her wing’s heat shifted, burning white hot where they met her back fading out to a bright blue before it changed back to it’s traditional orange. They scorched the grass from where they fluttered against the floor. “Fear makes people do terrifying things. I would be hunted, never allowed to live a peaceful life.” She looked back to the charred house with tears in her eyes. She was supposed to have a peaceful life. “How many times did you have to go into hiding? How many years have you lived, simply waiting for the life you’ve been crawling after? Kirigan, I don’t want that life. I want-”
“What you want doesn’t matter.” He snapped at her, his hand coming down to clutch her jaw. “You have power and refuse to use it.”
She gritted her teeth, “I didn’t ask for this power.” She grabbed his hand, his face contorting in agony as the heat from her hand burned his. “I am sick and tired of you telling me what I should want for my life.” She rose to her feet, twisting his hand in her’s so he fell before her. “You’re somewhere out there and you’re gonna regret turning me into the monster that I am. If not Alina, then I will make sure you pay for the terror that you’ve made rain over my country.”
~
Y/N thrashed in her unconscious state causing Inej to frown as she noticed the scorch mark under the inferni’s hand. She reached out to take her face into her hand in order to feed her the bright blue butterfly but gasped in surprise. “Her face… It’s burning. I can’t touch her.” The wraith’s words got the other’s attention. 
Toyla knelt down to place his hand on her forehead and recoiled instantly before checking her heartbeat. “We need to give her that butterfly quickly, she doesn’t have much time.”
Kaz shifted on his feet, clenching and unclenching his hands. He eyed his leather gloves for a moment before taking a deep breath in through his nose. “Move.” He took the butterfly from Inej’s hand, avoided making actually contact with her, and knelt down beside the squirming girl. He grabbed her jaw and shoved the butterfly into her mouth. Much to his surprise, he didn’t feel the waters splash around his ankles. The heat from her skin was so strong, the contact didn’t bring any memories of the bloated bodies or his brother. 
After a few beats of silence, Y/N shot up to a sitting position, her arm out in front of her as fire escaped the clutches of her fist. The fire bounced off the screen wall making the girl catch it quickly before muffling it in her hand. “Sorry.” Her throat was dry causing her voice to sound a bit rough. She turned to see Kaz still beside her, closer than he had been before. Her breath caught in her throat and she quickly looked away, trying to ignore the memory of the sound of his cane at the house in her dream. She caught Toyla’s smirk and she shot him a burning glare making him raise his hands in surrender.
Kaz stared after her as he pulled himself up with a grunt. ‘What is the worth of life if you have no one left to fight for?’ His brother's words echoed around his mind while he watched over the group, all trying to get a hold of their barrings again, his eyes lingering on the girl who stood in the corner with her arms wrapped around herself. The image of her face above his in the water plagued his mind. She pulled him out of the water in his hallucination and then performed a miracle by keeping his waters at bay with her touch. All without her knowing.
“Is everyone alive?” Wylan’s voice was muffled through the small hole in the screen door. 
“We’re alive,” Inej answered. Toyla stared at her with gratitude, “I owe you my life.” She stuttered and nodded to the door, “It was Wylan. He saved us.”
Jesper gasped, “Wylan did?”
“You’re welcome!”
The zemmini pulled himself up, “We almost died, didn’t we? Same time… I had the most incredible hallucination.” He looked around the room, “Did anyone else get lulled into a comforting sense of joy?”
Kaz turned away from the group, “I didn’t see anything.” His breathing was heavy. None of the others answered and for a moment there was a weighted silence in the room.
“Alright, what’s the plan?” Toyla asked, clearing his throat.
“You said there was another heartbeat in the house.” Kaz turned to face the taller man.
“Southeast corner. The heartbeat’s weak.”
“I suspect she built all of this to protect that heart. Along with a different way in to get to it.”

I’d love to hear you talk about PJ Harvey and queerness, if you’re so inclined!
OH MY GOD ANON I LOVE YOU reveal yourself so i can kiss you /joking and platonic (unless...)
this is gonna be really long so TL,DR, A Lot of PJ's work can be interpreted to be about a sapphic and/or gender non conforming experience.
OKAYYYYY SO
PJ Harvey, despite having never actually said she isn't straight, has written some Very Queer music, both in subtext and fully in the lyrics.
a few examples -
Dress could be interpreted to be about feeling the pressure to be a stereotypically girly girl and trying to navigate social situations where it's expected you have a boyfriend -
'Must be a way that I can dress to please him It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy [...]
Filthy tight, the dress is filthy I'm falling flat, and my arms are empty Clear the way, better get it out of this room A falling woman in dancing costume'
but failing to do so because it's just not you. feeling uncomfortable in a dress, trying and failing to have normal interactions with guys - which of course cishet girls can feel as well, but hits particularly hard as a queer, gender non conforming, girl adjacent person
O Stella, while the symbolism makes it about a religious idol, could be interpreted to be about idolising an older girl. Oh My Lover is about being totally fine with a partner's hypothetical polyamory.
Man-Size is a big one, before i even knew the term gender envy i was Deeply Aware that that was what man-size is about (in my opinion, at least) - wanting to things that guys do but not being able to cos you're a girl.
'Good Lord I'm big I'm heading on Man-sized got my leather boots on Got my girl and she's a wow [...]
I'm man-sized no need to shout Let it all, let it all hang out / out out out'
fantasising about a reclaiming of power while presenting in a more masculine way - WITH A GIRLFRIEND I MIGHT ADD - before going back to feeling as though that is unattainable -
'Silence my lady head Get girl out of my head Douse hair with gasoline Set it light and set it free'
like, 'get girl out of my head' is a pretty queer thing to say, yknow?
and 50ft Queenie -
'Hey I'm one big queen No one can stop me [...]
Hey I'm the king of the world You ought to hear my song Ah come on measure me I'm twenty inches long'
which is at the same time using male terms - even though the song is called Queenie, and that word is used a lot, she specifically calls herself King of the world, and proceeds to make fun of the perceived importance of a particular male organ, while at the same time saying she's better than them
more songs with gender and lesbian undertones - Yuri G, Catherine, to a degree A Woman A Man Walked By / The Crows Knows Where the Children Go (that one's quite explicit, word of warning if yu haven't heard that one before) - and songs that are covers of songs written by men without any pronoun changing - Shake Your Hips and I Can't Get No Satisfaction are two notable examples of that.
and then there are her songs that are just sapphic without being specifically gendery - My Beautiful Leah, Claudine the Inflatable One - i first thought that Down By the Water was about sneaking out to meet a sapphic lover under the bridge in the dead of night, a doomed romance, but there are lots of better and far more likely interpretations than that.
Polly herself has also said a lot of things that just kinda read queer. Like Patti Smith before her, she has said that she writes her songs from a place 'beyond gender', and just writes them as stories, sometimes from a male perspective. But of course, to a queer audience, you can hear her singing and *know* she's singing from a male perspective, but also can't help but to hear it as queer as well.
bit of a quote to go with that -
You've said that you don't like to think in terms of gender when it comes to music. Why do you think the gender issue, especially the concept of you being a feminist, is constantly mentioned with your work?
'I can only presume that, especially in the early days and early those labels tend to stick, but I know that I really played with gender in my lyrics, and I might sing in the shape of a man or I might sing in the shape of a woman. Or I might be dressing women in a loving way as a man or as a woman, or sometimes as neither. Sometimes more as just an essence, a feeling or an atmosphere. And I think that feels quite natural to me, but I think for some people it's not natural, and that's where the gender issue seems to become quite important.'
she was also adamant that she didn't want to be seen as part of riot grrrl, but rather as part of grunge - grunge was a very very aggressively male genre, and i don't think she thought riot grrrl had the right idea about how to go about empowerment - she took herself more seriously than that i think. she didn't want to be called a feminist, because she didn't want to be called a 'female artist', but rather just an Artist.
her gender presentation, moving from fairly neutral in 1992 (big black leather jacket, black boots etc, to the hyper-feminity of the To Bring You My Love era, 1995, also comes into play - she was showing femininity to be a performance, while also using it to her advantage, she didn't actually dress like that normally, no one wears that much eyeshadow, it was closer to a drag show than an actual outfits, a lot of the stuff she wore on stage. which is another one of those things that makes sense to a cishet girl, but gains more complexity as a queer person.
there's probably a lot more i can say on this, but that's everything off the top of my head! i cannot tell you how excited i was to get this ask, PJ Harvey is so much of how i've explored my own gender and sexuality, i could talk about this for a very long time!

Jared Padalecki on That ‘Walker’ Finale, Cordi & Geri, 13-Episode Seasons, and More
Ok, first off…congratulations. You got renewed! And you’re lucky, because if you gave us this finale and then left us hanging, you were gonna be in so much trouble.
Jared Padalecki: No s**t, right? I was like, “Can we just write the season to figure out what happened? We don’t have to film it, but if you don’t mind just writing it?” [Laughs]
Obviously it sucks that it’s only 13 episodes, but I also like that idea because that gives you a lot more time to prep story and streamline it.
You know, Jensen [Ackles] and I asked for 13-episode seasons of Supernatural, many, many, many times. As a matter of fact, I feel like if we had done 13-episode seasons of Supernatural, we’d probably still be doing Supernatural right now. Because it’s hard to do a long network season while also trying to be a husband and a father and friend.
I think Jim Beaver at one of our Comic-Con panels said about 22 or 23-episode seasons, “You know, even if it’s the best batter on the planet, if Ted Williams goes to bat 23 times, he’s gonna strike out a few times.” And so I think a shortened season would just be a really strong, action-packed, story-packed season where we don’t have to do an episode like “Bugs” in Season 1 of Supernatural. [Laughs]
How did the cast hear?
I kind of told them yesterday, I talked to Brad Schwartz [the new CW president] and they totally tricked me. I was doing hyperbaric chamber stuff…after my TBI last year, I try to get hyperbaric [therapy] when I can for brain health and I got out to all these missed messages, like “Hey, we need to do some press for the finale,” and “Hey, will you call into The CW because they have some reporters that want to do this.” And I was like, “Oh, s**t, sorry! On it!”
So I called in and Brad answers like, “Hey, bud… so I just wanted to touch base with you.” And he went on for a few minutes about how I need to do some interviews since the writers are on strike and can’t do them. And I was like “Sure thing,” I was ready. Then finally, he goes, “Well in that case, we are also excited to bring Walker back for Season 4.” I was so totally not expecting that conversation, right? I was in the head space of like, “Okayyyyy, now…what was the finale about again?” [Laughs]
And it’s so nice because we had a little tradition on Supernatural and now on Walker, at the end of the season, where they’d let me give the news. And I had asked Brad many months ago, we had chatted and I asked, “Hey, if it’s good news or bad news, can I be the one to break it to my cast and crew?” Obviously I hoped it would be good news, but even if it was bad news, you know, I’m the face they see every day at work and I’d love to be the one to just tell them thank you. So they’re all thrilled.
Now…did you make any calls to Justin Johnson Cortez? Because he turned up in this finale and that would be awesome to see him again. What he brings into this episode launches a whole new Jackal storyline.
Oh yeah, big time. I would love to see him come back. And yeah, you know, we have this cold case where it’s something that really drove Captain James to the brink back when we originally dealt with it and never felt we’d solved it…and maybe we haven’t. And how does that connect with Witt and our Park Ranger, who is a little more than fishy?
And I gotta tell you, the kids are growing up so nicely. Violet is so good.
She’s so good. Yeah. And we knew that from the get-go. I think some of the early themes in Season 1 where she’s kind of rebelling a little bit, we would shoot her and after we wrapped, I’d get on the phone with Anna [Fricke, the showrunner] and be like, “Holy shit, this young lady, she’s got something.” It’s a joy to work with her… and Kale Culley is growing up and becoming like, Jared Padalecki, Season 1 of Gilmore Girls. [Laughs] It’s uncanny and he’s such a strong performer, too.
Their scene in the finale where she comes in to support him after Cordi tells him to defer his military plans, I was struck by how well they carry their own scenes. The adults could literally take an episode off and they could carry it.
I like the way you’re thinking. I’m gonna talk to writers. Tell them you said that and that I could have an episode off. [Laughs]
There you go. Now when did we find out about Ashley Reyes’ singing?
Uh, how amazing is that? What, and Kearran? So we knew Ashley could sing, she’d gone to [the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art] out in the UK and she’s like a triple, quadruple threat, whatever you’d call it. She sings, she dances, she acts. She’s funny. She’s dramatic. She’s a home run for sure. She and Kearran…that was a lot of fun. I found myself breaking into Jared sometimes when we were shooting. I was like, “These girls are amazing, right?” [Laughs]
It also felt like, if this show had not been picked up, what a great episode to have as one of your last? It’s just a huge party, there’s all this love, you’re sending off Bonham and Abby to their Italian honeymoon. It was a really joyful episode…aside from the serial killer stuff.
[Laughs] So true! Yeah, fair enough!
Now, the way this season ends is very interesting, because Augie went to grandpa first with the military stuff and then Stella calls in Liam (Keegan Allen) to help with a dead body. How’s Cordi gonna feel about this? And also, how bad is gonna be for Liam holding this secret?
Well, as you know I did a show for 15 years about brothers who had a complicated relationship, you know, who would do anything for each other but also kind of upset each other and crossed boundaries for so long. And I love those stories. So it definitely makes sense that Walker, especially on the night that he decides to do something for himself — he asks Geri to move in for the summer and he’s not really the type to do something for himself like that, he’s not the “I’m gonna take a me day,” right? So he invites Geri in and now he’s about to find out not only did his son tell him earlier that he went to gramps to ask about enlisting, but that his daughter witnessed what might be a murder, but was certainly an attack — something that Walker would deal with in his line of work — and she went to his brother instead. Uh, so yeah, I don’t think he’s gonna be super thrilled about it. [Laughs]
Thank God he’s got Geri to talk him down from the ledge though.
Yeah, yeah. Put him in his place, talk him down.
I love that she danced down the aisle with the kids. Not only is Odette always fantastic, but that just showed how Geri is truly family now.
For sure, and there’s also something I’ve liked since our first scene together in Season 1. I knew Odette vaguely, you know, I think we had met two or three times at random Comic-Cons or award shows or something and she’s always pretty sweet and we always like got along fine. I didn’t really know her know her like I do now, but ever since that first scene in the Side Step where Walker and Liam show up, there seemed to be a depth between Cordi and Geri, like they knew each other’s skeletons, they knew each other’s demons, and they knew how to call each other on their bulls**t. Mostly her calling me on my bulls**t. [Laughs]
That was something I really liked. And so to see Walker have a relationship with somebody that can go like, “Hey, I’ve known you for decades and decades, something is going on. What’s going on? You’re not gonna run past this.” Because Walker can always pull the law-enforcement card and say, “Oh, I’m just worried about this or that…no, I just got something on my mind,” and she is able to go, “Nope…there’s something else going on.” And so I love that dynamic.
Have you talked about casting The Jackal?
We have. Who, who are you thinking?
Well, obviously Jim Beaver would be hilarious.
Oh my God, that would be hilarious.
Or you go get Scott Patterson…
Oh God, that would be great, right?! And I’m gonna see him soon. Again, I like your thinking! I like the cut of your jib. [Laughs] I like those few ideas, so when the writers are allowed to have conversations legally, I’ll have that conversation with them!

All my friends are like packing up for colleges and are like leaving for other cities and I'm going to college but mine starts 2 weeks later than them and I'm in my hometown (not a small city just I've spent 18 yrs here so🤌)
Delay here doesnt mean I'm not going to college sometimes it simply means starting later than your peers.👍😍

🌹 I've noticed something. Any planet touched by Pluto tends to cause a sense of obsession/ magnetism/ attraction to the themes of the planet in contact with pluto.
I'll explain.
I have moon square pluto and i have an obsession with thinking abt how i feel and tend to go on a very deep end abt it. Like legit no one can tell me abt my demons cause i know them. I also have venus square pluto which again creates a sense of fear and attraction towards my relationships and romance or love in general.
🌹 also adding on Pluto aspecting with planets it also creates a sense of fear regarding the respective themes of that planet in contact with pluto.
Ill xplain again
I have moon square pluto. Whilst I'm quite in touch with my feelings it's lost obsessive sometimes and kind of blurs my ability to be responsive rather than reactive and i also fear my feelings getting out of control. I have tried to Google how to control facial expressions.
Another one would be, mercury aspecting pluto. I have it and i was reading my comments on ig ad i realised my stark change in the way i communicated bakc then and the way i do now. Like i FELT the change ifywim.I also fear losing control over my tongue which again gets multiplied 10X cause i also have mars in aspect with Pluto which makes me fear losing my control over my anger or passion like i legit googled how to control anger 🤬💀💀💀💀🤠
🌹 i read somewhere that degree of your sun can indicate something significant happening to you at that age and i have 13 degree in my sun and i tried to commit su:cide when i was 13🤠🌹
🌹again, i read somewhere that nessus conjuncting with any of your personal planets or points can indicate abuse by you or towards you and guess what? I have it conjuncting with my mercury and i was always called stupid and crazy and dumb by my parents esp mother when they would get mad at me.💀💀🤠🤠👁️👁️
🌹ppl with moon in 10th/ cap/ moon saturn aspect may have been though incidents which caused them to grow up quickly and i feel like it's true. I have moon conjunct saturn and i remember i was called ✨selfish✨ by my father for not wanting to fill water bottles. I was 8bruh like how tf you gonna call an 8yo selfish?????🤠🤠🤠💀💀💀
Also, just saying you guys none of these placements always have to be as dark as mine were. It all gets down to your overall chart. Basic point is Pluto tends to cause transformation and let's be hoenest, it isnt always as golden and sweet as it may look. sometimes it's dark and painful but what can we say? In this lifetime you and i, we all will change and no one can stop it. So never let anything bog you down. Keep your head up and be hopeful🐅☀️
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

LAES IS FINALLY LETTING THEM BE OKAY- BY GOD, THIS EPISODE WATERED MY CROPS AND LOWERED MY ANXIETY-
Their conversation had me in literal tears, everything about it was just grjsklw-
The two of them just communicating and being open is EVERYTHING to me!
Lunar realizing that Earth needed their comfort, that instead of wallowing, they needed to reassure her, and be there for her-
Earth's quiet confession, that in that moment, she wondered if Lunar could lash out at her as well…
The way Lunar subconsciously was like "I don't have that much trauma, I should already be over it", and Earth basically answering with "But it was a lot. It was overwhelming and painful, and we shouldn't have expected you to just be okay"
The way they talked about Eclipse, about how a part of Lunar wanted to understand Eclipse, wondered if they could've changed anything! But also making it clear that this was an unhealthy relationship, and they had every right to leave! Because while yes, they've only hit them once(three times actually, I think🤔), it doesn't make it okay. Not to forget the emotional abuse, and the murder. However, in that moment, Lunar humanized Eclipse! They didn't see him as the monster peeking through their window anymore, but like the rest of them, who's just as fucked up as the rest of them-
Lunar saying "I just want my sister back", because they were taught, that love is conditional.
Earth telling them "You never lost me" because of course they didn't, because Earth adores them with everything she's got, because the celestial family doesn't do conditional love, because their love is true and protective and unwavering-
THE FUCKING HUG, MAN-
-Stardust
Tumblr media
GHOOOOOODDDDD YEAH!!!!!! BIT LATE 2 THIS BUT YEAH YEAH YEAH ALL OF THIS HOLY SHIT OH MY STARS AAAAAAAAAAA
I can't even BEGIN to express all the feelings that ep made me feel holy SHIT!!!! Lunar absolutely splayed their heart out in front of Earth and they were even more open and unguarded than they were in the therapy episode and AUAGHGHHHH ITS SO EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!!
AND GHOD YEA. LUNAR'S SELF REFLECTION..... HUGE!!!!! Lunar finally realizing that trauma isn't as easy as "slap as a mask on it and then ur okay!!" and that they are STILL FUCKED UP FROM ECLIPSE but also like u said they HUMANIZED ECLIPSE!!!! THAT IS!!!! SUCH A BIG STEP FOR LUNAR I THINK!!!!!!!
AND YEAH AAGHAHAGGGG YOU NEVER LOST ME AND THE HUG AND AAAAAAAAAA THEY'RE GUNNA BE OKAYYYYY THEYRE SIBLINGS FOREVER THERE IS JOY IN THE WORLD I'M SO HAPPYYYYYY UEUEEUEUEUE

Okayyyyy so City of the Dead thoughts for anyone who cares
Was I disappointed? My expectations weren't super high so I guess not, but the super overdramatic self pitying narration threw me off quite a bit. Like okay man chill out a bit. Kind of expected to not see Layla until the end so I guess there I was disappointed but not surprised. Fingers crossed she will be a central character from here on out and not a one and done thing in the series.
Okay elephant in the room time. I know a lot of people have been saying they REALLY did not like it and I really cannot blame them, but also I'm trying to stay hopeful because it just the first issue. I'm hesitant to get pissed off over the total lack of Jake and Steven just yet, when in Mackay's series neither made an appearance until like a year into the run. Yes this series isn't going to be nearly as long, but still. That being said, no I definitely don't expect Moon Knight to really be shown as a system, but I'm gonna give Prepose a couple more issues to prove me wrong (the bar is on the floor). Mainly just because I feel like it would be hypocritical of me to denounce Prepose for not including them and then praise Mackay when it took him 12 issues to really acknowledge that they are a system. I'm going to give Prepose a chance since he wrote a pretty good Black, White, and Blood story that did have them shown as a system in a pretty cool way imo.
All this to say that I'm not trying to undermine anyone else's concerns, this is just my own opinion and trust me, based on what little interviews I've read I fully expect Jake and Steven to be completely ignored and if (and when) that happens I will be right there with the rest of yall lol. I will say that it's already very clear that the set up so far was not written with the intention of having a place for Steven or Jake, which is very disappointing.
Okay positive things! I enjoyed seeing Dr Badr a lot and i didn't have much of an issue with how he and Marc's relationship was portrayed. Yes in the main run they're closer now, but they are still very much at odds but willing to work together towards a common goal, which is exactly what we see here in this issue.
I also liked where the thing with the kid is going. The detail of him being kicked out after his brother's death definitely makes me think he's going to be a reflection of Marc, which would be a cool parallel to have.
And the art for the most part was really gorgeous! I don't know what the hell was going on with Layla there at the end (otherwise great male artists not knowing how to draw women), but other than that I REALLY loved how the actual city looked.
And the Egyptian mythology was actually a lot more accurate than it usually is, which, as someone who has always been a total nerd about that stuff, actually made me really happy. There are several specific things I wanted to point out but this post is long enough as is.
Also. "I don't care if I burn" that was badass as shit come on. One of the (admittedly several!) moments of overdramatic writing that came off very well kind of like how it does in the Mackay run (don't wanna compare this too much to the Mackay run though because I understand it's obviously going to be different and that's fine)
But yeah. The overall feel and tone was very... off. I was on board with the general plot and Marc's motivations but everything around the basic plot structure just seemed like Prepose was trying to do a weird Huston run thing and it wasn't working (I don't think it worked in the Huston run either but I digress).
I've seen people saying that they didn't like how Marc was an enthusiastic follower of Khonshu, but that wasn't really the vibe I got at all? If anything it was pretty clear how much he hated everything he was doing. Which also kinda felt off. Having him say that everything was "punishment" over and over just kind of felt like I was getting hit on the head with a theme that didn't even make sense for the character, at least not at this point. Don't get me wrong, self punishment is absolutely a big part of Marc Spector's character, but there is an important distinction between doing things to right your past wrongs and doing them because you feel like you deserve it. And it seemed like Prepose understood that at first, but then later into the issue I was like Marc PLEASE shut the fuck up about punishment lol.
People more knowledgeable than myself have said things about how this looks from the standpoint that this is also a Jewish character, but all I'm going to say as a general statement for all of Moon Knight's runs is that I wish they would let him be explicitly Jewish more often. It's mentioned in Mackay's run the clash between Marc's service to Khonshu and his Judaism, but I think that that is such an interesting part of his character that needs to be discussed WAY more!
Anyway, to make a long story short, definitely not the strongest first issue, but it absolutely had some great moments and I'm going to go forward with my expectations still pretty low, but willing to give it a shot for Layla's sake. But the fact that a run featuring Layla is already not turning out to be very good is a little bit heartbreaking for me I'm not gonna lie lol. I was going to go and buy myself a copy of this issue, but after actually reading it I didn't really want it anymore. So 😬 fingers crossed for the next issue I guess?

DUDEEEEEE. She calls me baby youuuuu ate that harrrrrrrd. Like I had to go back in for seconds and thirds and fourths fr fr. Cause are we even surprised or are we just grateful that you give us mortals a second of your time and talent????
Babe you are so incredibly talented. The way you write is sooooooo amazing its like you just know how to manipulate your words into something that will and has had me in tears in like 2 seconds. Don't even get me started on how you write your characters. Like I don't know how I can fully and most genuinely express the astonishment you leave me in all the time.
I believe that you are one of a kind and a treasure to be cherished. I know that doubting is inevitable but I hope that you know that I'm always gonna be in the obsessed with addie corner no matter what. Like I meant it when I said that there won't be a time when you have no fans. Ever. You will forever be my favourite gorgeous goddess❤️❤️❤️.

(I think about you everyday though and it makes life just that much better)
(I hope you don't think I'm exaggerating😭😭😭😭All of this that I've been feeling without releasing had to be sent in a long ask my bad)
(I missed your little bonuses though, I hope you're doing okay)

(love you ❤️)

okayyyyy so i actually have another brainrot i wanted to share what if childe managed to stay immortal due to his shared existence with foul legacy and, in the modern day teyvat, met the reincarnation of reader? and foul legacy just knew it was really their beloved lover from years ago?
but the difference is that reader isn't as kind and gentle as they once were, they're a bit colder, blunt even, kind but in their own odd way
one night, reader suddenly asks him "are you disappointed that i'm not how i was back then?" revealing that they've been secretly insecure that childe might not content because of how different they are from their past self "i might be them, but at the same time i'm not. we both went through different things, in different environments, which shaped us into who we are."
tldr: just reader being scared that childe would leave them because they're not exactly like they were in the past
oohohohohoho i love me some reincarnation AU!!!!!
at first you were a bit (extremely) offput by the giant Abyssal monster following you whenever you went to the woods, since all the books you've read say that most Abyss creatures died off years ago, but you became less tense once you realized that he wasn't trying to harm you in any way, just watching you from a distance. you enjoyed your solitary walks in the forests, and he wasn't disturbing you, so you kept going back again and again until eventually the beast seemingly mustered up the courage to approach- although it seemed like he didn't have many reservations to begin with, since the first thing he did was bury his face into your stomach with a tearful trill
Foul Legacy is just relieved to have found you again- every day he gains more of your trust is a good day, and despite the differences from before, you're still you. yes, you're a bit colder and more closed off, but he can see the gentle twinkle in your eyes when you greet him, can feel the way you soften when he rests his head on his lap, can hear your quiet hums when you think he's asleep. besides, it's not like he's exactly the same either, no longer Tartaglia or Childe or the Eleventh Harbinger- now he's just Ajax, his favorite name since you seem to remember it from some distant dream you had. so when you voice your concerns, letting your walls down slightly and showing vulnerability, he simply pulls you close and snuggles his face into your neck
somehow fate allowed you to meet again, both changed but still connected. you might be different than before, but you still love him and he loves you, and as you lean your head on his shoulder to doze off, you feel the brush of a mask-like jaw against your forehead before a rumbling purr fills the air
curious... you swear you've felt this before
