i’m so glad taylor’s having this moment in her career where her heart/talent/impact is being recognized on such a large scale but i will always be bitter about people who only went to eras bc it’s cool and trendy and viral material

my experience with maxing out the twins' friendship is just-
Hawke: So, Carver, my dear baby brother who I love and adore, I only need +10 more points to max out your friendship. I've done the grind; through gritted teeth I've kissed templar ass so that we don't raise suspicion. I've supported and defended you and let you take the lead whenever I could. You're my favorite warrior. I took you to the Deep Roads with me because you desperately wanted to go and then made you a warden and you found a place, a purpose. I've practically written my own guide on how to earn as much friendship with you because I love you and it's totally worth it so can I please please have the last +10...?
Carver:
Hawke: Carver please I'm begging you
Carver:
Carver: +5 Friendship
Hawke: AAUUGGGHHLKSAJDLKAJSDLK-
Hawke: So, Bethany, my dear sis-
Bethany: +50 Friendship
Hawke:
Bethany: :)

okay so let's talk about brooke and jenna and chloe. i have had thoughts about them since forever and i think it's time i shared them.
jenna is always teetering on the edge of the Popular Kids' clique- her motivation for wanting to be a part of their group isn't popularity but visibility. she's lonely. she doesn't belong anywhere. nobody ever notices her. and the easiest way to get attention is by invoking negative reactions from people. and by god, chloe is an easy source for that. she's so quick to anger and she lets everyone know it. that's why chloe is practically jenna's only bridge to the Popular Kids- the others won't let her get involved so easily. oh, but what about brooke? she's nice, wouldn't she be willing to be friends with jenna? well, not with chloe in the picture. chloe is deeply obsessed with brooke. (i would say infatuated honestly. she was totally in love with brooke. i could write an essay on this.) she couldn't care less about anyone else- sometimes she doesn't even care about brooke herself. and that is where things get complicated between jenna and brooke.
i'm not sure what the fandom's general take on their relationship is but i believe they never got along. they couldn't have. 'bonding over chloe mistreating them' is impossible because of chloe's nature- chloe can never be a positive influence. she destroys relationships whether they're her own or not. she has to have all the attention to her at all times- brooke is careful not to get on chloe's nerves, she always has to be on chloe's side, chloe wants brooke all to herself. brooke can never really get close to jenna. jenna, on the other hand, is always trying to get chloe's attention and never brooke's. what's the point? it's not like brooke will interact with her anyway. it's a vicious cycle of brooke ignoring jenna and jenna ignoring brooke in return and although it wasn't their intention in the beginning, the gap between them eventually grows deeper and further until they're alienated from each other. there is unspoken tension and dislike between them despite knowing neither had malicious intent toward the other. they know it's irrational and stupid and that it's really chloe who's at fault but they don't know how to fix it. it's simply been that way for too long.
only after halloween- when the tangled mess that was the Popular Kids' relationship is completely shattered- do they have a chance to start over.

graven with diamonds | anne boleyn & thomas wyatt
you've got me in your pocket, i'll keep you in my locket
"You are destined for the kind of legendary love you only hear about in ballads. We don't need the court or your family or the king. It will just be you and me. Just the two of us. Together. If I asked you to come with me - to give up the admiration of a thousand people for the love of just one - what would you do, Anne?"
"I would..."
Love you.
He looks at me steadily. Doesn't say a word. Waits a beat.
"I love you. I can't make things any different from the way they are. All I can do is love you. And you love me," he says, so quietly my heart lurches forward as if reaching for him. "I know you do."
Thomas closes the gap between us and kisses me. Hard. His mouth forms lyrics that expose my soul. This kiss is eloquent and alive. This kiss is a song played only once. And forever. It breaks me open. I want this man. I want him so badly I feel like glass on the verge of shattering. I want to kiss him again. To run away with him. - Tarnish, Katherine Longshore

for the record you might think I'm a hypocrite when i say all the characters in merrily we roll along are meant to be unlikeable when i lovepost about Mary every day but to be fair. I'm aware of her flaws. and i love her regardless. have you considered that.

It’s difficult to not feel discouraged sometimes when your partner is also an artist and happens to be faster than you in every conceivable way
This doesn’t bother me often because everyone is different and comparing production time and skill against each other or anyone is detrimental mostly and its ok to have your own workflow
but it does weigh on me vaguely sometimes sometimes that she can finish 2-3 full coloured pieces within a week and ive been painfully scratching out the same number but theyre only sketches that ill never revisit within a month
None of this actually matters in the long run, it just makes me feel bad on occasion
