do you ever just sit there thinking about your favorite ocs while violently shaking. god. clenches fist. They're So.

#every time a song from their Joint Playlist comes on i go fucking feral #the betrayal the refusal to Let Go the haunting the persisting love the renunciation the resentment the abandonment the resignation #the overwhelming desire to do good vs the fear of admitting you were wrong vs the two people you love most tearing each other apart #AGHHHHH FUCK FUCK FUCK IM SUDDENLY DEEP IN THE ORIGINAL SAUCE #five seconds i was Normal. scribbling welcome home #then One Of The Songs Came On and now im losing my fucking marbles #perceived betrayals leading to real betrayals.... #going too far and now its too late you're Committed you cant go back #he came to you thinking he could make you understand and you could work together to make things Better #and instead you ripped his heart out and left it bleeding on the floor for everyone to see #THEY MAKE ME MORE INSANE THAN LITERALLY ANYTHING #absolutely unprompted #the oc Unwellness comes and goes in waves but its the only true constant obsession with my life #god those three... my dearest darling Trio.... how old are they turning this year? #is it year eight of having them? year nine? #one of the two is for sure how long ive had My Specialest Boy Light Of My Life The Reason I Am Still Alive #the other two came after... maybe only mere months after but he was the first and he is just. i love him so fucking much #he is so so personal to me. he has a permanent place carved out in my chest #he sleeps on my ribs <3 #the other day i was reminiscing about his development over the years. his changes his different Versions #and fuck... he's really changed with me huh?? #his past selves are echoes of my own self over the years #like he is Very different from me but at the same time. i created him with little pieces of myself sewn in #we hold the same views the same beliefs. im not him and hes not me but we're Kindred yk yk #i think i need to go listen to his playlist.... how long is it now... let me check... 15 hours 13 mins... 228 songs... #my gay 5'2 powerhouse of a guy. him <3 #maybe 'them' too he's played fast and loose with gender over the years. holy shit wait #his development echoes mine... i characterized him as 'fucks with gender norms' long before i realized my own gender fuckery #god damn. i love him even more now. i didnt think that was possible. im going to cry. hes so important to me #he has been with me through my worst years... and will be with me through all the hard times to come <3

something something laszlo reading to baby colin about historical naval battles at the beginning of 4x04 vs. laszlo eulogizing colin robinson at his “funeral” in colin’s promotion by saying that sometimes colin would try to drain him by talking about 19th century naval battles but he found it genuinely interesting and didn’t want him to stop

it’s fine i’m fine he just wants to talk to his friend about navy battles again but i’m normal about it

#wwdits #wwdits spoilers #i haven’t seen anyone talking about this yet but it destroyed me #laszlo cravensworth #colin robinson #(right before they go to the night market he’s reading colin a book abt navy battles in the nine years’ war) #it’s so interesting bc laszlo originally said he wanted to make baby colin more interesting #but he’s still actively trying to shape his interests #it just seems like he can’t decide between shaping him into something different and ‘better’ (in his eyes) #and trying to preserve the bits of Original Colin out of fear that even the parts of Colin he liked won’t be the same #i just……🫠

“the locked tomb is about love vs. freedom” “the locked tomb is about death” “the locked tomb is about the dangers of codependent relationships” “the locked tomb is about climate change” “the locked tomb is about identity with regards to the soul” yeah sure but above all else. the locked tomb is about bodily autonomy

#idk just thinking about alecto and the parallel tamsyn muir draws between fighting climate change #and the body autonomy fight of the feminist movement #the patriarchal control and harm john exerts on the earth in a paternal patronizing attempt to save it #the byproduct of john eating the earth being an eve-like creation of alecto in the model of the pinnacle of white femininity #the way that necromancers keep their body when becoming lyctors except for their cavaliers’ eyes and consumed soul #the difference between ianthe fucking with harrow’s hair glands vs. harrow growing ianthe a new arm #the resistance’s plan to take down john being contingent on nonconsensual sex. wake despising carrying gideon for nine months. #the creation of paul being implied to create a new body #nona being able to read all body language and understanding people best through how they physically are #john making kiriona’s body ‘perfect’ by making it impenetrable (untouchable) and heartless #harrow puppeting her dead parents’ bodies for years. john raising ulysses and titania as dead puppets as his first act of necromancy #nona being able to speak with varun and empathize with his grief and anger #idk. bodies and planets and personhood and the violation of all #the locked tomb #blah.txt

i'm legit considering deleting what little i have of rivers & gates off ao3 tomorrow instead of updating it someone please do something to convince me not to do this i don't want to i don't

#someone please understand the difference between “i feel like this is something it'd be good for me to do” and “i feel like i'm being #forced into an only choice that i actually hate the thought of making" please #i loved those books #i loved them for like almost a year #adored them #poured my heart and soul into them #could've written nine more of them #and then they just got fucking covered in ick #i started publishing the first one on ao3 in the hopes i could make some new good memories with it #did everything i could to drum up interest for it #started tag lists everything #i don't have a single person i can talk about it with anymore #not even the person i used to be unhinged with about it before the events that got it covered in ick #i'm literally sobbing as i type this #nobody but me likes these books that i worked for a whole year on #it makes me want to throw up #or maybe tear something in half #smash some plates #break a chair #snap my glasses so i can't see the screen of my computer anymore #just somebody tell me what i'm supposed to do

Could tiktok please for the love of everyone's lungs and continued health stop mixing chemicals to clean things? I just watched one where, yes the shower was a nightmare, but it is not worse than the damage you could do mixing bleach with things. I do not know what Barkeeper's friend and bleach toilet bowl cleaner will do in combination, but the website specifically mentions to not mix it with bleach.

#i thought we learned this years ago from accidentally making mustard gas on here #but apparently tiktok has decided to just redo everything tumblr has done #just worse #and with twice the audacity #i watched one where somekne dumped nine different chemicals into their toilet #like the fabulous stuff with lysol with comet with tide and even more i can't remember #rage engagement is not worth your death as either your toilet explodes from all of the trapped gases #or you burn your lungs and blind yourself

when you finally try to ask your parents for help and all they say is that it’s your fault for having one thing that you really enjoy and helps you cope 👍😁

#vent #like maybe the problem isn’t me finding escapism in a video game #maybe it’s the fact I’ve made next to no friends at uni #because throughout all of my adolescence #you treated me like a third parent to your youngest child #and i never got to learn how to socialise with people my age outside of school classes #‘you should get off that game and start watching tv more’ that’s the same fucking thing in different fonts #but yeah it’s all my fault for having one thing that can make me forget that I’m lonely for hours #and it’s definitely my fault that I don’t want to go to the doctor after they’ve done fuck all to help me in the last nine years

don’t know how this would work exactly but uh. locked tomb role reversal fic where harrow is emperor, god, necrolord prime, first reborn etcetc. & john is the reverend son of the ninth house

#the locked tomb #tlt #locked tomb #oh i know it would be so hard to make sense in so many ways... even the names don't work #harrowhark is too 10000 years later and john is too mundane #and i think it is deliberate that jod is one of the series' few guys #and the au would def take their characters in very different directions #but the id wants what the id wants..... #i suppose there is a parallel au where gideon is emperor ? i think harrow makes a bit more sense to me personally tho #cam pal corona ianthe judith gideon and the rest would be harrow's generation as lyctors dead or otherwise #while john mercy augustine g1deon cytherea are the scions of the nine houses #alecto is always alecto i think

im sorry but what part of "i told you so" means it was actually a joke? you defintely meant that as like a gotcha that WW really isn't transphobic because it was in a comic. like this is the people make wild exagerations and lies site to support something that is clearly not real so idk why you are acting like it would be so obvious that your very obvious non joke was supposed to be a joke. this is the site where people will make thousands on fake go fund mes for video games that were clearly never being developed and dead/sick gay partners that were never real.

At no point did I say it was a joke. I said it was an edit. Again, they used the word "Penis." The text did not fit in the bubbles. These are very obvious flags that it is not a real official DC Comic. You should have been able to tell. If you were not able to tell, that makes you stupid.

Besides, I've already admitted it was foolish of me to think any of you were smart enough to clear that "Elementary School" level of Bullshit Detector, so why exactly is it so important to you that I once again break down my "assumed people were smarter than babies" mistake from nine years ago? Is there something more you want from me, or would you prefer I issue yet another apology for the fact that I didn't correctly guess what an idiot you'd be, nearly a decade later?

#you all are so stupid #this is fandom shit #it doesn't actually matter #and I've gotten too old to keep responding to it like it does #I'm not even sorry. Get problems that aren't on this website. #if you actually gave a shit about trans issues you wouldn't be wasting your time on this #what trans woman is actually helped by you hectoring people for sharing a Trans Wonder Woman Headcanon nine years ago #and not sufficiently disclaiming that it's fanfic? #what actual difference does this make in the world? #does anything exist to you outside of your own immediate emotional responses?

I’m not too fond of doing certain chores around the house, but I certainly won’t complain if I’m asked to do them. In fact, sometimes I’m delighted to do these chores, but only if I’m pissed off at my siblings. Why, you may ask?

Because I’m an adult. Under the nitpicking gaze of my mother, I have long since perfected these chores despite any feelings I may hold. So when I’m really pissed off and want to be petty, I’ll do the chores so well, my mother will see the results and nag the others to keep up with her standards.

Psychological warfare is the best when the opponent doesn’t even know what you’re doing.

#yes I am petty #the issue is I can’t physically bodyslam my siblings anymore #i stopped growing my freshman year in hs #while my brothers just haven’t stopped #and all the guys in my family are athletes #my papa is the coach for both wrestling AND football #and since they’re during different seasons brother 1 diligently plays both #he is over six feet and still growing #i used to sit on him as a kid when we fought #the day he turned the tables was the last day I tried that particular route of revenge #also my two sisters can’t be fist fought either #one is an athlete but is still as thin as a fucking twig #and the second is literally nine #I’d throw hands with a third grader any day but not WHEN I LIVE WITH THEM #so I just try my best to fuck with their days #like making the dogs love me more #or fuck with our mothers perception of how a chore should be done #so she rags on them to do better #to be fair they’re really bad at chores it’s not that hard #pondhead rambles

Every time someone very confidently asserts "oh, that joke must be a reference to [some recent media made in the last 5-10 years]" I always have to sit there chuckling to myself like a smug elder thing: "No, young one, that media reference is far older than you or I, and once again your education has failed you, for you were never given even the simplest of tools to begin searching for the Olde Truths of this world, such that man was never meant to know."

#let's just say that one friend half-believed me when I made a joke about secretly being a 5000 year old vampire #the most recent example I found was a joke in a video game that referenced ice-nine from kurt vonnegut's “cat's cradle” #but the commenter did not know this #and was convinced it was referencing a different video game... which was itself making another cheeky reference to the novel #I do not know everything #but I know many useless things #and apparently that is more than some

There was a beat of silence, then Camilo blurted, “So, are we talking about Bruno now?”

Mirabel leaned over the table to look at him past her padre. The ends of her hair dipped in her soup. “Where were you? Was it dangerous? Tío Félix said we couldn’t see you earlier because you were hurt.”

“Miraboo, your hair.”

“Is that why you look so bad?”

“Camilo!” Félix scolded.

“What? I thought Tía Julieta fed him earlier? He looks-” Camilo’s impression was not flattering, but Bruno couldn’t argue its accuracy.

“You don’t look like you ate Mamí’s cooking,” Mirabel added, squeezing her hair with a napkin.

#encanto #bruno madrigal #my fic #really shot myself in the foot when i decided to make all these characters 5+ years younger than in canon #forcing myself to pepe silva their characterization differences #but it was all worth it to watch bruno being beseiged by nine year olds #as they learn to see

Rewatching the earlier seasons of supernatural and accidentally reactivating the sheer vitriol hatred little 12 year old me had for John Winchester, like not only was it justified, but I think it's only amplified since I'm older now

It doesn't help that in later seasons they tried to pull a 180 and be like, actually John was a Good Parent™️ who did the best he could :) cause it's like??? My brother in christ literally no one was forcing him to leave his children alone in hotel rooms for days or even weeks on end

#i am rewatching spn and i have decided to make that everyone else's problem as well #does anyone have that post about john bringing his kids to a town where there's a kid killing monster #and then being surprised bc the child killing monster tried to kill his children #bc i feel like that post perfectly sums up john winchester #god and like giving a nine year old a shotgun and expecting him to ??? idk be perfectly calm and reasonable while facing down a monster #and then 'looking at him differently' bc little nine year old Dean (understandably) froze up #hnnnnnnnnnnggghhh #i want to bite john #not in a sexy way #like i wanna rip his throat out #okay rant over #supernatural #john winchester #spn

I am not doing well rn

#There's family and that's throwing my whole routine off (they live on a different continent with an ocean between us so yeah) #also my uncle got me this bracelet making kit for like nine year olds and i HATE bracelets #and i KNOW i should be grateful but also he's so weird and I don't like him

Did you know that if Matt Murdock was twenty five in 1964 (when the Daredevil comic debuted) then he was born in 1939?

Brought to you by Ferith, eternally baffled and distressed by the linear progression of time.

#Idk why this is throwing my mind for a loop the way it is #It’s just that the sixties feel recent #Whereas WWII is History #If Dick Grayson was nine in 1940 that’d make him eight years older than Matt #I don’t think that’s an age difference that I would ever use #But it’s neat that they’re so close #Matt Murdock #daredevil

SAINT ATHANASE DAY IS MAY 2ND I CANNOT

#let's go #wato has a lot going for it #in terms of what i got right predicting how the show is going #(planned mid season 4) #but the BIGGEST THING THAT"S DIFFERENT #is the AMOUNT OF TIME THAT PASSES #season 3 ended the school year #that makes seNSE TO ME #and the summer is half skipped/school begins season 4 #but the fact that in season five they say NINE MONTHS HAVE PASSED #in wato i mention it taking tWO YEARS at LEAST #these fuckers got sick of being heroes for Nine Months #but my main point was that chat blanc takes place on saint athanase day #(adrien's 5th name) which mEANS #season three occurs in MAY #and the school year #this is dumb i'm just upsetting myself at this point #it's like the fUCKING ice cream flavors #i just gotta move on
