#I'M OFFICIALLY ON VACATION BITCHES

Surprise, bitch. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.
Tumblr media
TERRA FORMARS IS BACK!!!!!!! Yeah, it's not a joke. It's real. And it's gonna happen tomorrow (or today, or it already happened...whatever ). Some days ago I was on my vacations with my bestie when the official Terraformars Twitter started posting "Jouji" and similar stuff from time to time. I got excited, REALLY excited, but it wasn't till a couple of days later than an official annoucement of the series coming back was made. I guess some of you may be wondering if I'm gonna keep posting raws and rough translations, and the answer is that sadly, I won't .
I just logged back into this account to tell about the manga coming back and that's it, I'm not even sure if I'm gonna keep posting anything besides this. A lot has happened since I was active here including ending a +15 years relationship, moving from one side to the other of the country and getting promoted (among many other stuff). And mainly because of the last one I'm HELLA BUSY
I'm planning to read the manga from the beggining again to catch up so who knows, maybe I end up sharing some thoughts here. But I won't make promises.
If any of you want to DM me I'm gonna keep cheking them for a while so go ahead.

What?
Tumblr media
How is it even JK's fault that Tae can't travel to see him and support him?
First of all, and i'll say it beforehand i don't know the exact details of the law so don't ask me about any further information, i know it very superficially if you need more information you might want to ask a K-army or a K-friend in general. With that being said, since BTS announced and publicly that is that they're cancelling their military service postponement and will be enlisting after the completion of their solo activities, they are now bound by the military rules.
Which means, the boys cannot travel outside of the COUNTRY, without an official schedule aka something related to their work, whatever other activity they decide to do while out of the country is their own business but they just can't travel for "fun" and supporting another member is actually inside that "fun" box it ain't no official or professional schedule.
Up until now the two times we were sure Jimin was there for members (Hobi and Yoongi) he still had a professional schedule aside but he took the chance to make it in time to support his hyungs. A friend brought up Joon in Spain with his family and while it might look like a regular vacation for some but he DID have a professional schedule, he also took that opportunity to make it a mini family trip, it's basically a win-win situation, you get an official schedule you grab the opportunity which is always great to see our boys having a good time.
Now, Jimin is "coincidentally" (I don't think it's coincidental at all but you feel me) having an official schedule during this period, was it pre-fixed or was he able to arrange it to be able to support our Maknae AND get some work done? Maybe, maybe he went for the two birds one stone strategy. Up until now we have no idea what's up, will he be able to attend GMA or not, we have NO IDEA.
For all we know, Tae doesn't seem to be having any official schedule for now, not in Paris not in the US so again, no official schedule means no flying out of the country. So why tf is JK to blame? He's not the one making up official schedules. Their only concern is Jimin and i'm sitting over here thinking why aren't they questioning why wouldn't Yoongi go too? Since apparently Tae is being "held back by the evil step-mother that is Hybe" to go support the love of his life, Yoongi isn't held back by anything so why isn't he going? Makes us go back to the same point which is : No official schedule.
Second of all, Bitch! And if Tae isn't interested in going on a 10+ hours flight just to support a member, doesn't even have to be JK and even if the military rules weren't applying, he doesn't have to, why do they make it seem like it's a MUST that Tae should go to support JK, support isn't just by being physically present, how do they know he's not very actively encouraging him via messages and video calls?
Bitches are quick to assume Jikook aren't even texting each other but now they're assuming that about TK as well or..? And again if it's Tae's choice to not travel all the way to the US for one day, then how tf is JK to blame? It's not like JK has been plotting with the evil step-mother again to stop Tae from going to him dafuq?
It's one thing to be a delusional shipper and another to be a delusional maniac. This isn't just shipping blindly, this is projection, very blurred lines between reality and fiction, dementia? Please go get treated in a mental hospital. I know someone else was saying that Jimin is going to grab the attention yada yada, why is he grabbing the attention just when it comes to JK? Why wasn't that said about him when he went to support Hobi and Yoongi?
All this bla bla bla and we're not even a 100% sure Jimin is going to GMA anyways, they're already combusting just at the thought of Jimin and JK being in the same country, same city. Chile~ anyways so.. SEVEN IS COMING!!!!! Are you ready? Personally i'm not, but i am at the same time.
(Tagging this under Jikook because well.. Jikook.)

Bangtan Weekly Report...
So a lot happening in here in the last 24 hours. Joon's appointment took everyone by surprise. Seems legit significant and I wondered if this will affect his military service... not in the fact that he would be exempt because of it... not implying that at all. What I'm wondering is after he completes his basic training, would he just go ahead and shift into some kind of position where he is also associated with this particular activity in the military? Stationed at whichever areas are doing this activity and such...
I think for sure it will definitely add to his future opportunities and influence in the public arena. It’s so exciting for him!
Tumblr media
Also: Yoongi headed to Japan. I love that shirt, vacation vibes. I hope he was able to rest a little bit and get something to ease his coughing though. I know he keeps saying don't worry, he's not sick, but something is up because you don't hack up a lung like that after walking a few hundred yards for nothing.
Tumblr media
Also today: Tae headed to Japan Spain! He looked dressed for an island party. It's been a while since we've seen him wear earrings. Or, I should say an earring since its only one. AND THE HAIR! I'm not a big fan of the frizzy perm but he is squeezing all he can out of his 20s before enlistment with the ash blonde hair moment again!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How does he even see where he's going? How did anyone recognize him? That hat reminds me of a woven straw basket I used to have in my dining room.
TAKE TWO!!! A new OT7 song coming!!! Soooo excited!!! Maybe we'll get a teaser! Produced by Suga and written by RM and Hobi!!!!!
!!!!!!! NEW GROUP MUSIC!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
Also today: someone now pointing out that Kookie discreetly moved a small object out of camera view during his garbage disposer repairman live on Feb. 27 ...
How did I not notice him doing that when I watched the live... so now someone is saying it resembles a car key fob... for a Porsche...hmmm, who do we know that drives a Porsche? ... ummm.... I don't know... it could be, or not? It's got a reflective chrome button looking area on it. It's white and car key fob shaped...
Tumblr media
Of course, it could also be a vaper or his own car key fob or something else... a tube of lube (Kookie... please put stuff away after you use it, I know its handy there but still... TMI you know?) ... I need more visual info.
Tumblr media
Also today: I see people grumbling (outright bitching) about the commercialization of Festa/BTS... commercialization = selling out...
This is my take on all of that (and probably an unpopular opinion, but anyways...):
People are all for their "sold-out" king when a random t-shirt or shoes they are wearing or an insulated mug sells out, but our guys don't see a penny of that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now you're saying official BTS merch would be somehow unsavory... a money grab... even though money from the sale of THAT DOES go into their pockets?... please think through what you are saying...
And commercialization in the form of sponsorships is not good? How is it not good?...Sponsorships are great!
Here's the deal... money makes the world go round... so that exact thing is what will help perpetuate the longevity of BTS, those sponsorships will give BTS a shit ton of money in return for licensing/promotion and underwriting big ticket projects.
Tumblr media
It keeps BTS alive in the public eye and keeps the income coming in order for them to do first class work and endeavor to promote themselves and give us great events. Fabulous purple fireworks shows are not free. Sponsors help underwrite the cost of that. And because these events are happening will also indirectly help the many small businesses in those areas because of the influx of visitors to these events.
Tumblr media
Turning the city purple creates excitement about BTS and reminds locals that BTS are global cultural ambassadors. Army should be hella proud of that.
What other kpop group is getting news coverage for their 10th anniversary? None.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Deep pockets allow BTS to book stadium tours, so the more chance more of us can see them in-person.
Tumblr media
The day the money stops flowing will REALLY be the day BTS retires.
If we are who we say we are and intend to support BTS no matter what happens... IF WE ARE IN THIS BANGTAN SHIT FOR LIFE ... and what we are given right now is merch and purple corndogs, then I will buy a keychain or a book or eat purple tteokbokki, or whatever, along with whatever music is released. If you really are against it, then don't buy anything but don't act like what they are doing is disgusting.
Anyway, its been a full day. We are headed into Festa season for the next two weeks and beyond. The timeline seems focused on positive things. Or maybe that's my imagination. I am going to enjoy it while I can.

So, I'm thinking I need to not even try to do word limits on these writing practices, lol
Pairing: Commander Fox x Reader
Word Count: 961
Songs: Firecracker by CamiCat
It has been three months since the Jedi uncovered Palpatine’s plot. Three months since he was arrested and executed. Three months since it came out that he orchestrated the whole war and the creation of the clones.
And in the end, it hasn’t made any difference.
The war still rages on. The Republic is hemorrhaging planets left and right. And the senators still fight over stupid stuff.
You sigh and bump your forehead against the cool window of your apartment. As a Senatorial Aide, you should be at the Senate building, helping your senator with her bill that would increase funding for the GAR. Really, you only came home to change into something more comfortable compared to the stifling dress you had been wearing.
But now that you’re dressed in something far, far more comfortable, you can’t seem to bring yourself to slide on your shoes and leave the apartment. You run your fingers over the well worn material of your shirt, trying to settle your anxiety and give yourself the desire to leave your apartment.
You aren’t really surprised when it doesn’t work.
There’s so much work that needs to be done. So many bills that need to be argued into law. So much paperwork that needs to be filled and filed. The Clones have rights now, but so many Senators were still trying to argue against it. Against them-
You take a deep breath when you feel yourself start to spiral. 
You close your eyes and pull the neck of your shirt up over your nose. Even now the shirt still smells like Fox. Your Fox. Like the body wash that he prefers and Caf and something that’s uniquely him-
You clench your shaking hands, clutching the soft material of too long sleeves tightly. You really need to relax. Everything will work out. It has to.
You’re dimly aware of the sound of your apartment door sliding open, and shut again. “Ah,” Strong arms curl around your waist and tug you back against solid plastoid armor. “Senator Dunn said that you weren’t answering your com, mesh’la.”
“My…” Your head thumps back against Fox’s chest plate, “My com. I-” You press the palms of your hands against your eyes, “I left it in the office. I-”
“Hey.” He nudges your cheek with his nose, “It’s okay. I have it.”
“I’m so sorry.” You whisper.
“It’s okay. I’m not upset,” Fox lightly turns you in his arms, and tugs the cloth down from over your nose and mouth, “There you are.” He murmurs with the gentlest smile, “Bad day, love?”
“It’s just…it’s so much.” You reply.
“It is, isn’t it?” One of his hands slides up your side, and gently cups your face, “Senator Dunn and I had a long conversation,” He murmurs, leaning in and ghosting his lips against yours, “She says you’re working too hard. And I agree. You need a break.”
“There’s so much to do!” You blurt, “And Senator Burtoni-”
You stop when he presses his finger against your lips, “I know. But it’s not your job to single-handedly fix all the wrongs in the galaxy, little love.”
You scowl slightly, “Senator Burtoni is a bitch,”
Fox laughs, “You’ll get no disagreement from me, mesh’la.” He tugs you closer, pulling you away from the window and deeper into the apartment, “But, as I was saying, Senator Dunn has given you the rest of the week, and all of next week, off.”
You blink, “What?”
He smiles slowly, “You, little love, are officially on vacation. Starting now.” Fox pauses, and his expression becomes mischievous.
“What?”
“Well, I misspoke.” Fox admits, as he lightly grips your hips and lifts you up. You instinctively hook your legs around his waist, and drape your arms around his neck.
“Misspoke?”
“Mm.” He kisses you, again and again, softly, sweetly. “Misspoke.”
You let out a happy sigh as he carries you into your shared bedroom, “How did you misspeak, Fox?”
“Well, what I should have said was that we have the next two weeks off.” He sits you on the bed and quickly starts removing his armor, just dropping the plastoid pieces on the floor at the foot of the bed, “And tomorrow afternoon, we have a private ship taking us to Spira, for two weeks of relaxation.”
You stare at him, jaw dropped, “You…are you allowed to do that?”
He scoffs and peels the top of his blacks off, tossing it across the room, “Little love, I’m the Marshal Commander of the Coruscant Guard.” He grins and climbs on the bed, dressed only in the bottom part of his blacks, “Who’re going to stop me?”
You stare at him for a moment longer, and then you giggle, “A real vacation?”
“A real vacation.” Fox agrees, “Paid for by Senator Dunn. For both of us.”
He lets out a startled noise as you fling your arms around him, “How long have you been working on this?” You ask, as you press your body against his.
“Oh…about two months.” He replies with a grin as he curls his arms around you.
“And you managed to get everyone to keep it a secret? How?”
“I told my vod’e that if they weren’t able to keep their mouths shut, then they were getting shit patrols for the rest of their lives.” Fox admitted, one of his hands slid into your hair, “A good surprise?”
“The best.” You confirm with a giggle, “Thank you!”
“Of course,” He kisses you, long and slow, “I love you.”
You beam at him, “Love you too.”
And, when you return from your vacation two weeks later, there’s a simple golden band wrapped around your ring finger. Turns out the trip to Spira was only one part of a two part surprise.

Round 1 of preliminaries, group 3
Tumblr media
The first two places get a place on the bracket
Little reminder: there will be 2 more rounds of preliminaries, the losing blorbos of this poll still have 2 chances of getting in the official bracket
Propaganda under the cut
Conner Bailey (The Land of Stories)
"He falls asleep in class and never hands in his work and gets bad grades but has lots of friends and a big imagination. Likes to write fantasy and science fiction (and maybe other genres as well), and bases a lot of his stories on his own adventures with his sister."
Lucy Honeychurch (A Room With A View)
"trapped in a relationship they feel obligated to maintain ? meanwhile meeting this weirdo who makes question marks out of his dinner and stuff? yeah this was so me and one point and literally helped me break up with my shitty ex. i love lucy honeychurch so much, she just wants to play dumb games with her brother and not be suffocated and live"
Greg Heffley (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
"Let's be honest, most of us in middle school were a whiny self-centric bitches, and he's a prefect example of this. He will make snarky comments and wonder why a small child cired becuase of them, find his older brother annoying, be disgusted by his younger sib, make mean jokes towards his closest friend and just KNOW that one day he'll be rich and do nothing"
Gideon Nav (The Locked Tomb)
"She's a cocky butch lesbian who can't pull, and I would bet real money she's adhd. Incredibly unreliable narrator, partially because she tunes out of anything uninteresting to her (like the plot), partially because she's not on speaking terms with her own feelings. Deep down she's angry, and lonely, and convinced she's not good enough, and she's terrified to look it all in the eye. She'll keep all her feelings right here and then someday she'll die joking about it."
Akaashi Keiji (Haikyuu!!)
"Outwardly chill 99% of the time but a serial overthinker. Once screamed into his hands when stressed and acted like nothing was wrong right after (see: Image link)."
Burgerpants (Undertale)
"My propaganda is his game dialogue: - "(WHY IS THIS PERSON TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING THIS IS A HAMBURGER RESTAURANT I'M JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE)" - "What? Why do you keep trying to talk to me? I'll get in trouble if I get chummy with the customers. Sorry. ... SO, I wanted to be an ACTOR-." - "You've still got time. Don't live like me. I'm 19 years old and I've already wasted my entire life." - "Listen. I like you, little buddy. So I'm gonna save you a lot of trouble. Never interact with attractive people." - "Future? WHAT future? Nothing down here EVER changes. I'll probably be trapped at this stupid job forever. - "Ah... my boss. I love that guy. And by that I mean I hate him so, so much." - "Here's a trick, little buddy: Lie to yourself all the time. It makes you feel better." - "Even if it was just working this awful job... I think I did something! I don't know if it's true, but I'll believe it anyway!" - "Huh? Everyone else is DEAD? ... Does that mean I don't have to work today? God. That it were true, little weirdo. That it were true." - "I can't go to hell. I'm all out of vacation days." "

Tumblr media
OK guys, I have a confession to make today: I am a dudebro. The tech geniuses in my Elon Musk discord sent me here to infiltrate Tumblr. I chug a Toxic Rick energy drink every morning even though it makes my bones rattle and spiders crawl at the edges of my vision. I go to Birdrick threads on Reddit, comment "is rick gay," get two downvotes and leave. Every day, I pray that Rick will say "I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right" in the show so that I can point at the shirt that I'm wearing with the same phrase on it and say "Haha, it's official now! You to want hear me say it out loud? Huh? You want me to throw that badassery right in your face? Fuck up my McDonald's order one more time, and it's coming at you!" Do it, Rick. Do it for me.
I've jacked it to Rick a few times, but I only did that because it was funny. In fact, it was funnier than everything in seasons 4-6 combined. I think that Rick and Morty has been the worst shit on TV since season three, but I haven't stopped watching it. Instead, I watch every new episode and make rage-fueled videos in my $1,000 gaming chair. This week's topic: Rick and Morty has gone woke. What was up with that joke in season five about the cops being racist? The cops aren't racist! They kill ALL races equally, Jesus Christ.
Anyway, back to Birdrick: I KNOW that Birdrick is platonic because I tell my male friends that I love them all the time. That's not romantic. In fact, I say it while looking directly into their eyes, thinking about all the great times that we had together, thinking that they should leave their bitch of a girlfriend because I know more about Rick and Morty than she ever will. I think about how hilarious it would be if we went on a long vacation and shared a hammock and watched the sun set, the light glittering on the waves as insects start to hum in the grass. Haha, it's all a joke, bro.
Once, I was DJing in a club and trying to figure out how to play Kanye West's entire discography at once when a guy handed me an acid tab with Morty's screaming face on it. I flew off into outer space and floated around until Rick picked me up in his ship. We made out for a while so that he could teach me how to make out with all the hot alien babies on Neptune. Of course, I already know how to make out with babes because I kissed a chick wearing a Rick and Morty hoodie once. She was clearly shit at it because I didn't enjoy it, and I should have known better because girls, queers and Tumblrinas don't actually like Rick and Morty. They just pretend to like it because they want male attention.
Oh, I'm sorry--CIS male attention. Is that woke enough for you? And by the way, libsharts: Rick is a CIS MALE. I would know because he runs around naked in every other episode, and I made a compilation of every scene for hard evidence. Cry about it all you want, but you're not going to win this debate. No one's looked at Rick Sanchez naked more than me!
Anyhoo, Rick called out the woke crowd in the season one classic "Raising Gazorpazorp," which brilliantly deconstructs feminazi bullshit, especially Rick's speech at the end. Something about Rick's voice really sells it. Something about the way it's so gravely but familiar at the same time, like rain hitting a tin roof while we're sipping iced tea on the porch. Do you ever feel like you're only going out with girls because all your bros are doing it?
HAHA uh, Birdrick is a sack of puke and just the thought of it makes me shit rage diarrhea. (Uh oh, was that too CRUDE for the purity police? Well, get used to it, because I have to.) If I ever see a Bird Person cosplayer on the streets of LA, I'm going to hit him with my Tesla, killing him instantly. I'm hoping that it might explode a little bit for maximum damage. In fact, I'm just going to program my Tesla to hit every pedestrian that resembles a human-sized bird. It's in Elon Musk's genius hands now!
So what the fuck has happened to Rick and Morty? That show was great before they hired women writers. I'm pretty sure that they hired a bunch of queers, too, because only a gay man would come up with that suit and tie he wore in season six. He looked way too good in that outfit. Which one of you homos designed that shit? Jesus Christ, get out of the writers' room and let the straight men take control again. If I ever win a giveaway or something and get to visit the studio, I better be surrounded by men!
Season one was just winner after winner and winner. We need to get back to the original show--the REAL show--where Rick was a cool-headed and rational scientist instead of the weeping "wah wah I'm so sad morty" baby we're stuck with now. I would know because I'm basically the real-life Rick. I say what I want, when I want. Don't like it? Too bad. You just don't want to hear the truth. Rick Sanchez walked so that white men with beards could run...to their Teslas and run over Bird Person cosplayers, killing them instantly.
And Rick USED to tell the truth. Love is a chemical reaction, nothing means anything, existence is pain, marriage is bullshit (ESPECIALLY when you're married to a female), everyone's too politically correct now, it's stupid that we can't call stuff "retarded," "PICKLE RICK!!!!!", focus on science, girls are too sensitive about everything. Wubba lubba dub dub! Shit, what does that mean again? I'm so used to saying that at parties when someone hands me a Rick and Morty bong and I just smoke whatever's in it because that's what Rick would do. I think I smoked oregano a couple of weeks ago. My nostrils have been burning ever since, but I'm sure it's fine. Nothing can kill a man who pounds Toxic Rick energy drinks!
Haha, wouldn't it be funny if I left the last two words off that last sentence? That would be the funniest shit ever. I'm crying with laughter!
People didn't understand Dan Harmon's genius when they whined about the show, and it apparently made him so depressed that he gave up and surrendered to the woke crowd. Christ, I hate the Internet. I only get on here to check Reddit, scroll through Elon Musk's Twitter feed and see if Dan Harmon updated his Instagram. He reminds me of Rick a lot. They're both geniuses, but the major difference with Dan Harmon is that he's got that scraggly beard. It's probably scratchy when you make out with him. I took a bunch of molly at a party once and kissed a guy who looked like a lumberjack because I thought he was a lady lumberjack, and his beard was pretty scratchy. I said "Wow, that's what kissing Dan Harmon is like!" And he said "Want to go back to my place?" And I said "Fuck no, you're not ACTUALLY Dan Harmon." LOL!!!!!!!
Remember when I mentioned McDonald's at the start? I've been in Mickey D's this whole time, and if you're wondering how I had time to type this, it's because the 16-year-old fucktards behind the counter don't know what they're doing. (And yes, I'm getting McNuggets! Haha! #szechaunsauce) Rick wouldn't put up with this shit. Not only is he a badass, but he's got badass friends all over the galaxy who would back him up. I had a dream a month ago where Rick was hanging out with these buff guys that were probably his personal bodyguards. Some weird stuff happened, and when I told my therapist about it, she said "It sounds like you had a dream about Rick having sex with a group of men," and I said "No, I didn't," and she said "You just loudly and audibly said that you had a dream about Rick having sex with a group of men," and I said "Haha, I was manipulating you! I'm a master manipulator like Rick! It was a social experiment! What made you think about gay sex anyway? If I said 'And then Rick got gangbanged by a bunch of dudes' and you immediately thought 'Wow, it sounds like you had a gay sex dream,' that's on you, honey! Hear me? THAT'S ON YOU!!!'"
So, uh...
Let's close this off with a classic: Wubba lubba dub dub! Haha. Anyway, since you Tumblrites love analyzing every frame of every episode because it makes you feel like you "get it" (spoiler alert: you don't), why is this GIF so hypnotic? I've been watching it for twenty minutes and can't figure it out.
Tumblr media
Lord have mercy.

For a super official survey: One thing you wished you would've packed for Spring Break and one thing you could've gone without?
I wish I'd brought some aloe or something, 'cause my back is fuckin' cooked right now, and it hurts like a bitch. I guess I could'a went without all the underwear. I dunno why, but I always pack way too many pairs of underwear on vacation like I'm gonna shit myself every day and end up wearing them all. I do the same with socks for some reason. I think my mom might be to blame there, but that's beside the point.

a scene that may or may not exist like this in a fic i have yet to write
"So..."
You pretend not to hear him. The Prince is sitting on the stonework just above you; if his voice didn't give him away, the purple boots that land on the ground next to you would. You were given explicit instructions not to speak with him, and considering you like having your head attached to your shoulders and not mounted on a wall where you have a sneaking suspicion they once had one of your relatives, teeth forced open in a snarl you've never really liked pulling, you intend to stick to that instruction. One of the maids told you about him in advance anyway; he's literally all bark and no bite, according to the servants about to rotate out, the ones who have been here the longest, he'll talk your ear off and understands if you don't respond.
("It's unfortunate," one of the other knights had mused, fiddling with ropes and knots while she showed you around. "You can tell he just wants to talk to someone, but he must've caught wind of the fact that we're not supposed to respond because he doesn't even talk like you're there. It's best to just let him get it out and he'll leave you alone.")
"This summer heat has been a real bitch. You'd think they'd give a guy some cooler clothes to work with when the sun literally lights shit on fire if the windows aren't open in the afternoons but nah, too easy, make him work for pants that aren't a thousand degrees."
You can't say you were expecting him to be so... foul mouthed. What appears to be two pant legs land next to the boot, suspiciously unconnected to a waistband.
"The name's Dave, by the way. I know you're probably a stickler for not calling me that because everyone Mom and Dad sends is a stickler for being all formal or whatever --" A cape flutters to the ground and you think he finally settles "-- but if you don't have a stick up your ass consider this official permission to just call me Dave."
(So much for acting like you're not there.)
"You seem different than the other knights they send, but in a cool way. Like, usually they send these big muscly types who talk about how great of a vacation this is. And they're nice and all, but you're actually taking this seriously, so clearly you've got something going on or Mom and Dad wouldn't have strangled you with it."
He says it so, so casually. It makes your blood run cold. You tense, your grip tightening on your sword pommel; you'd never strike at the Prince (you're not dumb enough to do that), but it's comforting to know you're armed.
"Don't sweat it, I'm not going to ask. Even if you could respond that's kind of a dick move. We're just locked up here together, you know? Those guys all have families and pubs they get to go back to with big bonuses and stories about how the crows follow the crown prince wherever he goes after a month, but I've been here my whole life. I don't know how long they've got you here, but considering you're standing right in front of the hallway to me and Rose's rooms I've gotta assume it's a while."
Rose must be the princess. You continue to stare straight ahead and do a pretty alright job of not jumping out of your skin when two hands descend and pull your helmet off. You didn't even -- You know you put that on correctly this morning, how the fuck did he --
"Rose has been showing me some tricks," he seems to answer your internal question. "Good job not slapping me, though, some of the knights they put here have a nasty habit of almost breaking my nose when I sneak up on them. Which, fair enough --" the Prince jumps down from the stonework and you see him for the first time, unfortunately, "-- they don't expect me to know about all of the little buckles it takes to put these suits on, even though a kid could probably figure it out."
The Prince is taller than you, as your gaze laser focused ahead allows you to see. The emblem of Derse is stitched across his tunic and his outfit seems to be missing a few pieces, especially his pants from the knees down. He fiddles with your helmet as he stands in front of you, and you don't even need to expand your senses to know he's staring at you. The one thing you can't tell is with what intent. You don't think he's malicious, perhaps curious? Your grandmother would tease that your scales show when you're nervous, but that was only with magic sight, could he have such an ability? His hands are darker than yours, especially against the clean silver of your helmet, and his nails are manicured and painted a muted red. When he taps them on the metal, you can just barely hear the sound of them making contact. He breathes in like he wants to say something, but lets it out, and the two of you stand in silence.
You dare a peek. No head movement, nothing that disrespectful, but your eyes trail up to see his face. His eyes are hidden behind round, dark pieces of glass spun together with gold wire, but you can't shake the idea that he's watching you; his hair is carefully cut and styled, the late afternoon giving him a sort of halo. His expression is carefully and meticulously put together to be neutral; you can't tell what he's hiding, but you know he's hiding something.
"Just once," he says, holding out your helmet. "Talk to me once. Just tell me your name."
You hesitate. His hand is shaking and he doesn't want you to know. So you don't; you take your helmet, eyes straight ahead with it held at your side, and you say only, "Karkat Vantas."
He smiles. "Nice to meet you, Karkat."
And then he leaves.

Miss Caro, what do you mean with this post: You're telling me this might all be for the love of Ted Lasso. What happened now???
Wellllll
Disclaimer: none of this is confirmed, it's based on speculation, I don't know any of these people, it's just fun drama that, if you look at it closely, is steeped in misogyny and has shades of... Other celebrity scandals steeped in misogyny, of the recent past and yesteryear.
For background--
Olivia Wilde dated Jason Sudeikis, to whom I shall hence refer to as "Ted Lasso", a former SNL comedian, erstwhile lover of one January Jones, and pal of Fred Armisen (which... again, the professional makeover Jason has done for Ted Lasso is incredible) for about ten years, during which they got engaged, but never married, and had two children.
Florence Pugh was in a relationship for a few years with Zach Braff, "director", TV sitcom actor, and navel gazer to whom I shall hence refer to as "Scrubs". This relationship did not progress beyond dating and cohabitating, as far as we know, but Florence took it VERY seriously. She defended it many times when people called out their 21 year age gap, and she was pretty aggressively defensive on both social media and the press. Recently (as in this summer) Florence went on a vacation with one Will Poulter (he's just Will Poulter, I respect him as an actor) who had, I shall note for the record, GOTTEN RECENTLY BUFF. Will and Florence were in Ari Aster's 2019 film Midsommar together, and are presumably at least friends, and Florence was seen jumping around the water with Will in a bikini, looking quite bangin', and as someone with notable breasts myself, I shall say, I would not PERSONALLY be cavorting in such a sense with a RECENTLY BUFF FRIEND if I wasn't trying to fuck him, but Florence got really pissed that the internet DAREST COMMENT ON THAT BEING A CUTE LOOK and said no way, Will Poulter was not touching her black widow!!!! Shortly after, she and Scrubs broke up.
That's not super relevant, I'd just like to state that I personally think she and Will Poulter probably did hook up, and that's fine, but like. You know. She's already got a movie coming out with Scrubs now, so the damage is done.
Let us return to the relationship of Olivia Wilde and Ted Lasso. It is actually pretty unclear--did Olivia start dating Watermelon Sugar High Giver and Shania Twain enthusiast Harry Styles before she and Jason officially called it quits? Or did they not? Officially, the record has Harry and Olivia dating after she and Jason broke up, but let's be real, nobody is going to like... cop to cheating if they don't have to. Some would have Olivia casting Harry Styles, then fucking him behind Ted Lasso's back on the set of Don't Worry Darling. Others would have her dating him prior to him being cast.
Either way, I think that it's kind of impossible to know, especially when you're dealing with a long term, very serious relationship involving shit like kids and mortgages and such as that, because... Chances are, those bitches were separated for a while before it ENDED ended. Long term couples do shit like that. And I WOULD POSIT that there had likely been another!!! Not 1D-related mess!!!! That led to the downfall of Olivia and Ted Lasso, whether or not she was still with Ted Lasso when she first got with Harry Styles.
ENTER: Keeley Hazell. Keeley is a model and actress, who let's be real, none of us really know about, but who rather crucially appeared in the film Horrible Bosses 2. (Disclaimer: have not seen this movie, will probably never see this movie even though I am attracted to Jason Bateman, let's not unpack it.) Who else appeared in this film? One Ted Lasso. (Also: Chris Pine, which throws me a little, but I'm gonna dismiss it for now because I honestly don't think Chris Pine has the time or the social bandwidth to keep up with this shit. When all this was going down, for all I know Chris Pine was getting cucked by Sebastian Stan, so............. other problems, maybe??? OH TO HAVE BEEN INVITED TO ROBERT PATTINSON'S BIRTHDAY BASH.). When did this movie film? Between September 2013 and June 2014. Don't ask me why it took that long to film, because the point is: when Ted Lasso releases... Ted Lasso, there is a principle character named Keeley (who, actually, is a model and is the main Romantic Sexy Girl of the show). And who does Jason Sudeikis conveniently begin dating after his split from Olivia? Keeley Hazell.
Am I suggesting that it's weird for a man to JUST SO HAPPEN to meet a woman while he's with his current fiancee/babies' mother and then start dating her about 7 years later, after he and his partner broke up, without ANY prior romantic attraction/attention/whatsoever? I don't know. Maybe they were open. Maybe he and Keeley somehow had a totally platonic friendship for... again, 7 years. But I want you to look at this as a paranoid individual would after having a long-ass relationship end. Would you.... not wonder?
This is to say, I think the narrative of the Olivia/Ted Lasso relationship and breakup is a lot more complicated than people wanna admit; that he is not a perfect cuddly Ted Lasso man in real life, and is a flawed individual like any of us, but especially like rich white men who are friends with Fred Armisen might be; and that... Yeah, bro. That custody paper thing? Might've been a hint that he's a douchebag.
ON TO THE PRESENT DAY:
It recently resurfaced that Scrubs, noted for making movies that I personally could never take seriously even if you paid me to, is a friend of Ted Lasso, to the point that he directed an episode of the show Ted Lasso in its first season. Who made a cameo in that episode which was hilariously??? Cut??? ONE FLORENCE PUGH.
Do I find it incredibly cringe that she was doing a cameo on a sitcom as an up and coming Meryl Streepian type actress because her old-ass boyfriend was directing it? Yes. Yes I do. Whoever had that cut, even if it was Scrubs himself, did her a favor.
But perhaps crucial to this story is the fact that Florence seems to lose all sense of dignity around Scrubs. She defended (I find this compilation very funny) their relationship (when, to stress, she could've just said nothing, a thing she seems to have learned to do now that everyone is putting her on a feminist pedestal) all the time. And tbh, Florence is a grown woman who can do what she wants to do, I personally don't even have an issue with the age gap (I have a bigger issue with the fact that it was doing nothing for her career and tbh, seemed to be a relationship she defended rather immaturely when the mature thing would've just been to go about her day--if you date older, people are gonna say shit, 'tis the world) but she clearly cared A LOT. She cared a lot to let this man, who has not been a "hot director" in many years, direct her during a time in her career when she can and should work with the big dogs. That says a lot. I didn't like Mother!, but damn, at least when JLaw did it she did it for a NAME.
Florence also clearly likes a middle-aged white guy who's seen better days, because, as has been discussed here, she was out there liking those Johnny Depp posts. Might I suggest: Florence Pugh is probably not a horrid person. But she is at an age where, if you have been... I don't know, sheltered from the real world by focusing on your acting career a lot and shacking up with an older man who you think the world of, who you think knows everything about everything... I could see you becoming a bit sheltered. Perhaps naive. I say that as someone not much older than her.
So: is it out of the realm of possibility that what actually happened is that Ted Lasso and Olivia had a messy breakup, probably after Florence was hired to do DWD, and Florence sided with Ted Lasso because Scrubs sided with Ted Lasso and Florence though Scrubs was the hottest of shit. Could it be that tension grew between the women, and perhaps other shit unwounded and devolved from there? Could it be that at the end of the day, this began with Florence Pugh caring way too much about her boss's sex life?
Because, I don't know about you, but a lot of us have had bosses with horrible personal lives, which perhaps even affected the workplace at some point... And we've just had to keep our heads down, do the job, and collect the check. Perhaps I would suggest that as a woman in her mid-twenties who's never been married or had kids, and whose most significant relationship we know of was with Dr. John Dorian, has no business really getting into the weeds of a decade-long relationship with children behind ween two people who honestly both seem pretty messy? (If Florence did in fact do this, idk that she did.)
And might I also suggest that, considering the fact that Shia denies strife with Florence (not that we can trust him, the man who repeatedly abuses women and somehow came out of this with the best look??? Almost like that's what he intended and for her own personal bullshit, Florence fed into it) and the video with Olivia never alludes in any kind of direct way to Florence and Shia not getting along--she only says the immortal Miss Flo getting a wakeup call line, which could've been about anything--and Florence herself refuses to confirm any bad blood with Shia... The issue was never Shia? The issue was Florence Pugh caring way too much about a friend's personal life, a friend who was initially the friend of her boyfriend? To the point that she's helped torpedo a press tour for an entire movie???
As someone who is again, basically Florence's age and very well-acquainted with sheltered, perhaps initially well-meaning women who think they know it all because their boyfriends quote Keats, also this age... I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
And to be clear: I actually think Florence is a fab actress, and I've enjoyed some vibes from her prior to the Depp thing making me... question shit. I actually have never liked Olivia Wilde--but the way all of this seems to come back to her relationship with her baby's father, who people seem to be sympathizing with because she's... fucking a known sex object now? And not looking the way a mom "should" look? While he plays an "aw shucks" guy people have now identified with him onscreen? Idk, seems a lot like how I've seen regular, ordinary women get framed by their social circles after they get out of relationships with their children's fathers, who perhaps are a bit more complex than they seem on the surface.
Like, listen, at this point I'm sure it's about a lot more than whatever it started out as. But do I think it could've started as a simple "my boyfriend's friend who I think is my friend even though we'll probably stop talking within a year of my breaking up with my boyfriend is being TREATED BAD by his BAD BAD BABY MAMA and I'm MAD about it"...? Yeah. Because humans are inherently petty and kinda stupid, and I think Florence has some growing up to do in general, based on how she's handled this whole press thing and the fact that it affects... Her actual career with which she makes money, probably.
AAAAAND SCENE.

Personal (PCOS)
I've been meaning to write a KP fanfic since before the show ended, I've had inspiration stirring nonstop since EP1. I thought with the amount of free time I'd have this Summer this would be something fun to put my time and energy into, a project I can utilize everything I've learned from all the wonderful people I've interacted with on here in one way or another, but July has officially become the month of declining health for me.
I literally never used to see my doctor, I never had reason to. And suddenly I'm seeing 3-4.
It's a bunch of minor things piled on each other to create one BIG thing, but the main concern weighing on me is that I apparently have PCOS. And one particularly large cyst on my right ovary has been a real burden. It feels like constant cramping near my right pelvis, throbbing, bloating, heavy. I'm trying to go about my days as normal as possible as I monitor this thing (because it's supposed to go away on its own. & if it doesn't, then I'll need a minor surgery to get it out). But the discomfort is so constant it's all I'm ever dialed in to. I can't enjoy the vacations I'm going on, or just day to day activities.
It's not an agonizing pain, more like a dull pain. After doing a lot of research and educating myself on PCOS and related issues (to the point I drove myself into a panic attack in the middle of a family road trip 🙃), I realize that the stage I'm currently in is nothing compared to how bad this might be (or get), so I'm trying not to psych myself out too much. And yet, I've cried for three nights straight.
The mind is a strange thing. On the one hand, I know this is relatively common with people who ovulate, and what I'm experiencing isn't anything deemed too serious. In fact, it's pretty normal. On the other hand, I can't believe I'm spending the one summer I chose not to work doctor hopping instead (and not in the fun sense), and that I might need to get surgery for the first time in my life.
If this is a normal cyst (just a bit too big for my doctors' liking), then the 'surgery' isn't anything too complex. But I still need to run a few more tests (while waiting to see if the darned thing will clear up on its own) before I even know if it's worth removing, or what it even contains. (Don't search up images of a teratoma. Just...dont).
In the meantime, my brain is supplying me with all the helpful (sarcastic) things I've learned throughout all this. Namely, if it shrinks, I'm good! If it doesn't, teeny tiny incisions to get it removed. And if the bitch grows, or spreads, or turns out to be endometriosis, this is God or the universe's karmic retribution for all the times I've said "I don't like kids" or "I don't want kids", & I might say bye bye to one or both of my ovaries soon, and the option to have kids will become difficult, or be taken away from me altogether.
You see how my brain turns something that isn't anything yet and freaks me the fuck out? This was me for three hours until I finally broke down on hour 4 of said road trip.
Anyway, I'm trying to process everything it is and might be, driving myself crazy as I do. I don't want to be pessimistic, but at the same time I know I shouldn't be too optimistic. I've talked to close friends and family about it, I am thinking a lot about it, and the next step is to write about it, because that's how I've always processed things and ultimately comforts me more than my circle's generic words of encouragement (though I know they mean well & aren't intentionally trying to downplay the physical & mental toll this has taken on me. And honestly, I think the mental is exacerbating the physical).
I'm still going to write that KP fanfic, dammit!!! but as I write primarily for myself, I'm not going to put a specific time frame on it. I'm just gonna go about it as I'm comfortable.
Ummm...yeah, so this isn't intended for people to feel bad for me, or share my story, or whatever. I'm not even exactly sure how bad this thing is, or if my overthinking is getting overdramatic. Sometimes I just feel better after releasing everything I've got pent up into the void, as if I'm finally letting go of a bit of what's burdening me so I can care about it a little less. But if anyone else has or is going through something similar and would like to share their experience, I'd love to hear from you. It'll be cool to connect with others who get what I'm going thru.

Mighty Nein Next Gen AU, Part One
Hey, I wrote this AU a couple months back and I'm working on writing more of this AU but here are some notes I have about our Mighty Nein as parents and backstory for the AU
Masterlist for the whole AU (will continuously be updated):
MOLLY AND KINGSLEY ARE BOTH ALIVE IN THIS AU
So, Molly NEARLY dies due to Lorenzo but survives with death saves but, later on in the game, Cree or Vess DeRogna or a new member of the Tomb Takers (necromancer?) cast Clone.
Due to the nature of clone and the spell description, it says "if the original creature dies, its soul transfers to the clone" So Lucien comes back in that body.
Fight me, my AU bitch
Anyway, when they defeat Lucien later on a spirit gets stuck in that body and we get Kingsley Tealeaf
Anyway, more of the fun stuff and actually important part of the Alternate Universe/later timeline
Fjord and Jester have a giant, elaborate wedding at the Lavish Chateau after sailing for a few years
Jester always wanted a big wedding, due to the fact she is a giant romantic and was upset her mother never had a wedding originally (Marion is happy now just dating The Gentleman but she did tell Jester as a kid she hoped Jester would have one for her)
Cad walked Fjord down the isle because they are Wildmother Brothers
TJ was the ring bearer and Luc was the flower boy because he deserves it, he picked those flowers with Uncle Cad, dang it
Fjord and Jester give the ship to Kingsley and move in with Marion and The Gentleman
Fjord and Jester have four kids, three triplet girls and a baby boy eight years later
Now for the most important part: Artagan fucking with Fjord during the pregnancy
They find out because Artie is laying in bed with them and casually goes "congrats on the triplets, you two"
Cue Fjord going unconscious
Jester and Artie have a babyproofing session that is off the walls useless
They babyproof the knives by putting bubblewrap on the handles
They also flip the doors upside down (because, to quote Artagan, "the handles are higher up now so they can't reach") but since the doors have glass on the upper parts, Fjord has broken several doors by accidently kicking the glass
Fjord and Jester also name their kids off of the most important people to them (family/friends)
Artagan takes them (and later the rest of the Nein) on family vacations to the feywild
He also gives all of Jester's kids feywild titles and familiars (that start off as plushies but eventually come to life)
Artagan also has a nasty habit of kid- babysitting his nieces and nephew, taking them to Feywild Court Stuff, where they get pampered like royalty
I wanna have a whole post dedicated to the BS the triplets go through during birth but, to simplify, due to the bloodline one of them nearly dies at birth but was saved by Artagan and, as a return, they name the baby after him
All three of the triplets are warlocks for Artagan
Also, the baby boy is a cleric of The Wildmother, more on that later :)
Mollymauk, Caleb, and Essek are in a polycule (all wear promise rings but never wanted to get married)
They own several homes, one each in Nicodranus, Rexxentrum, and Rosohna
Caleb and Essek are both academics with research grants and college professors/government officials, they have the money to live luxuriously
This also gives Caleb and Molly the ability to work at Veth's summer camp during the summer
Essek is also AFAB, Demiboy in this AU (Matt has been using they/he lately so I'm guessing that's the case anyway)
This is my way of saying, Essek get's pregnant and is trying to hide it at Fjord and Jester's wedding
They have a baby girl (biologically Essek and Caleb's kid) exactly ONE DAY before Veth gives birth to her second kid (more about this later but safe to say she was livid)
The baby is just as magic driven as her parents, loving the study of it
But also loves tarot cards from Momma Molly
Molly a couple years later finds a little one abandoned in Rosohna and adopts them
It's a few weeks later, when having a fit, they find out she is an aasimar
Molly and Verin teach the aasimar kid (I cant think of a name, help) how to swordfight
That's the end of part one, part two is in the master post's link. Love y'all

no like i do legit hate. how many men just do nothing with their lvies until some chick comes around who they expect to make them into something. i will not and never will be a stand-in mother to a grown man. and i know this shit has been a problem for eternity for us given the "behind every great man is a greater woman" line. men are such a waste of time for fucking real
got mad at my bf for not following through with going on vacation with me, and basically saying he'd never go anywhere with me because he's 'not capable'(bullshit, he's older than i am, i think he's officially 30 now) and he went on to tell me about how i make him look forward to the future and how he's doing online training that he hasn't told anyone about and like. bitch ok. don't act like any of this is for me when you can't so much as see me once a year for anything more than a 30 min drive to meet between our towns. do you want me to pat you on the head for doing the bare minimum to better yourself. ugh. ugh.
if anything it's a blessing we're long distance and i've already laid the boundary that i'm aroace and he shouldn't expect much. i like talking to him every day but expecting literally anything of him was a mistake and i'm better continuing to work toward my own future without a thought for another soul other than eventually adopting a child to raise myself

“It’s okay to be angry, you’re allowed to be upset about what happened to you.” - @jubilccna
What started as Randy drunk texting Jackie hav u talked 2 Tiff?? soon turned into Randy inviting her over. Well, over to his parents. After the official breakup, both Tiffany and Randy went off their separate ways from the house, Tiffany likely checking on Dewey upon learning about the fight, and Randy going to his parents' house knowing no one would be there. The Fluggerbutters went on yet another vacation without their son for Halloween, unaware that they’d be returning home to their only child beginning to move his things back in. In the meantime, Randy got into his dad’s stash of alcohol again, which was what led him to this point. It was honestly a relief that he could have his parents' place to himself for a few days, to not hear them bitch and complain the moment they heard the news about the breakup. Instead, he wanted to be around the one person that he knew wouldn’t judge him or make him feel bad about everything that happened — Jackie. His face was still not pretty but he was taking a short break from icing it, practically feeling numb by now with a little thanks to his dad’s booze. Now, he was lying across the couch with his head in Jackie’s lap, looking up at her with sad eyes. Maybe it was the emptiness he was feeling that made him want Jackie's attention tonight, or maybe it was because he knew deep down that they'd had brief moments of flirting in the past that they never really talked about — was he doing this just to spite Tiffany, knowing she had Dewey by her side to comfort her and make her happy? Right now, he wasn't sober enough to think that deeply into it. He was just glad he didn't have to be alone tonight. Randy sighed. "I just keep thinking about them together," he confessed. "They get to be happy and then I'm just... the asshole that gets left behind."

Silviu thought's
Tumblr media
༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶
Silviu uses all pronouns in a "I don't care how you see me/I don't care how I see myself." So they only use he/him towards themself (They don't show it but they get butterflies in their stomach if someone uses she/they pronouns towards her too)
♡ Family; Everyone comes from somewhere- where’s your oc from? Who raised them? Do they keep in touch? Do they have a good relationship or a bad relationship? Maybe the protocol is your family- after all, found family is one of the best tropes out there. ♡ Silviu's parents weren't that involved into his life to the point where their grandmother had to step in and raise her. His parents never had a lot of money and wasted it on their own guilty pleasures, his grandmother made sure to always put her first so they could be raised into a strong young man. After being brought (Forced) into Valorant Protocol she wasn't allowing himself to keep in contact with his grandmother thinking it would be safer for her this way. They write letters about their day and what happens and hide them in her closet waiting for the day they were ready to send them to her. The closest thing Silviu has as family at the Protocal is Fade, both of their work intertwined at one point.
♡ Home cooked meal; It’s officially friends giving- what dish does your oc bring to the dinner table? Or are they even any good at cooking? What’s their favorite childhood meal? ♡ Silviu will bitch and complain, "I never learned to cooked. / I hate cooking and I'm not good at it. / I swear I'm just going to go out a get food to bring back." They don't though, as soon as they know there's a chance they won't be caught in the kitchen he ties his hair up and shamefully puts the apron on as he makes the dessert for the dinner, Papanași. It's not the special they would say as it is in fact the best thing in their life, something their grandmother would save up to make for Silviu's birthday every year. Leaving it on the table with the rest of the food before sneaking out as if he wasn't the one who made it, the flour on his face says otherwise.
♡ Good Morning; What does your oc’s morning look like? Do they sleep in? Are they up early? Do they go straight to breakfast? Or do they shower and wash up for a bit first? It can be hard to get up and get ready for the day when you’re so comfortable! ♡ Silviu's dark ass room gets NO sunlight so the only way he knows it's morning is the alarms of his next door roommate going off. They're not a morning person especially since they tend to stay up at night. When she finally decides to get up they shuffle into the bathroom to wash up, most times almost falling back to sleep while standing up brushing their teeth. What they wake up in is a 25/25/50. A dark short thin nightgown, Her boxers, or shorts showing off their high-waisted underwear and a see-through tank top. Borderline they look like a whore no matter when.
♡ Beach Day; Brimstone says you get one vacation day- make the most of it! The protocol is headed to the beach for a day of fun in the sun, what’s your oc up to? Do they like to swim? Sun bathe? Build sand castles? Or maybe play some beach volleyball? What about their swimsuit? Do they favor looks or practicality? Here’s to hoping no one gets sun burn! ♡ Not a happy camper. They were shoved in the back of the car in the middle seat as soon as she tried to dip. Silviu,, can't swim well. Like they can float, they and move slowly but they do not want to go in that ocean. Hell they barely feel safe swimming in harbor's water. The sun too- God the sun makes this worse. It's so hot out and this pasty whitie don't tan, they burn. Because of this you think, maybe they would wear clothing the covers their body to prevent this? No. They are showing a lot of skin to not feel trapped in a hot sweaty fabric cocoon. He has those small bikini bottoms with a thin see-through coverup tied around his hips and a cropped tank top that barely goes under his chest. You have to drag him out from under the umbrella he's taking a nap at.
♡ Club Night; Of course Raze would have to drag everyone out to the club at least once. What is your OC up to? Do they like to dance? Maybe they just like to have a seat at the bar and get a drink? When’s the last time they got to go out and have fun like this anyways? ♡ Silviu constantly tagging along with going out to the club, not much of a dancer until they're drunk. With blurry vision they would grab whoever's hand they could reach and drag them to dance or get more drinks, good luck trying to get them off you the whole night, the poker-faced biter choose you as their club buddy for the night. Silviu is either trying to get you to do more drinks with them (or taking yours), dance with them (or them swaying near you) or just happy to be near someone for the night even if its hard to see on their face. Fade is usually (unluckily) their buddy for these nights when she decides to go, always trying to drop him off at someone else so they can deal with him for the night.

College is a bitch, but I can't say that I'm any less of one. I tried to draft a post in the week leading up to my departure from home about missing the familiar splotches of green mixed in with gray geometry of cost effective city planning. How I would long for the same parallax as streets and alleys rolled by, and the ever present hum of the interstate two hundred yards from my house in the small hours of the morning.
What I've found myself missing the most is Ruby. We had been together for just under two years, and just under two weeks out from the severance of our official romantic relationship I realize that the geographical cocoon that spawned me will remain ever-present and my relationship to her will not.
I spent a regretful amount of time in our intersected lives feeling lukewarm to the idea of loving her back. I hate how long it took me to really mean it. I hate how narcissistic I was. I hate how long I felt so little for her. I of course, had issues—still do—and though I don't want them to be an excuse, I saw aging out of childhood in capitalist America as like being on vacation with a gun to your head, and it made me crazy. I am an odd flavor of legitimately caring (albeit in reserve) and skilled enough at manipulation to convince people that I care more than I do, and though I think that anyone in my situation would be just as megalomaniacal with their small bit of influence, she deserved so so much better. And if there is one thing in life I'm sorry for, it's not being better to someone who clearly loved me so much.
Ruby is everything you would want someone who loves you to be. She is funny, and though she lives a lot of her life in flux between her humor being muted and summoning the social wherewithal to vocalize it, she has always been absurdly funny; even on the nearly silent days. She is brave—and not in that she does any more dangerous things than idiots such as myself, but in that she lives her life farther outside of her comfort zone for longer periods of time in the name of fun and growth and beauty than any other person I've ever met. She lives in a better more well-kept house than me, and she knows how to be happy. She distinguishes and decides, and admittedly needs encouragement to act but she is wonderfully skilled at recognizing her feelings towards everything. She is a feminist; she exhibits feminine fashion and indulges in the culture and vernacular while exuding strength and fortitude. She is not toxic, she uses her support system and doesn't put up with my bullshit when I throw it her way. Ruby is gorgeous. Some people say she is not conventionally gorgeous. I don't. She has a beauty separate from her virtue, she is Venus.
I will admit that I had a mixed experience before her. I have had toxic exes and I have been the toxic ex. I did not want to repeat shitty patterns of unhealthy young love. Save for the major deception of the true depth of my feelings—which I thought would develop more quickly—I think that my experience and resulting paranoia regarding codependency led me to handle the administration of our relationship on the day to day fairly well. I encouraged her not to isolate herself from her friends—as tends to happen when you are newly enamored with someone—and made time for our own support networks and hobbies and established friendly relationships with each others' parents, and addressed issues and generally did everything I could to make our relationship a healthy one.
There is however a but.
I, in my jaded 'realist' wisdom, made the observation that relationships kind of just... don't last. Fucking brilliant epiphany I know, but I'll elaborate. Half of marriages end in divorce, and most long distance relationships result in emotional dissatisfaction or someone cheating (or both), and the not insignificant sample size of young relationships I have witnessed have mostly eroded—save for a few statistical anomalies—most commonly because one of the parties involved wanted to experience relationships with other people. I had seen teens get bored of the routine of their partners, or housewives wishing they had lived their twenties before marrying some dude named Cody and resorting to lifelong monogamy. I felt that I, alongside most others, would eventually get bored enough in one relationship to either cheat or mentally check-out.
I looked at the prospect of my graduating a year ahead of Ruby as an opportunity for us to get some space. Not because we needed it, but because the space would be there regardless and relationships ware thin. I didn't want that for us. Shitty making an executive decision like that I know, but neither of us were looking forward to long distance. Neither of us quite enjoy our predicament now.
It was a sad sequence of events, but she rode into the sunset with tears in her eye from my abrupt anchorage in this college town, and her obligation to go back home. I wouldn't say that it was the wrong choice, but I regret not loving her longer. We still talk on the phone about maybe getting back together if our lives synch up again, but those are far off days and that's no good to us now. I wake up in a sober daze, traipse into my theory classes and wave to nameless new characters. I'm sure she sits in front of her vanity mirror and does her makeup after dressing in clothes laid out the night before. We live our lives separately now. There is no resolution.
