the absolutely Vivid reality based chronological dream i had last night. man

#i got a job at like... an automobile warehouse or something? #we had to change a large trucks tires... #and i was sent to get some more from across the block or whatever #and its more complicated than that - there were conversations and interactions with people etc #and i was trying to find it but it was all like... in this corridor shopping mall? #the signs were western themed and listed items that you could get in that store #though i think it was all free? #anyway at some point it opened into a restaurant and i had a friend there who was carrying a plate for people who left prematurely #so i of course started shoveling it into my mouth - free food! but their manager caught us #and i had to be all 'hey i work around here im just lookin for tires and no one was gonna eat this anyway' #it was like... a rice/mango/cream thing...? strange because i dont like mangoes! #long story short i had to go back for the tires bc i wound up forgetting them. something about a dog.... #i was too late in getting the tires so i had to go sort rubber bolts instead :/ at least the warehouse was cool #absolutely unprompted #but it was very. linear. and it felt very real. like it was genuinely a place and a job that could exist #like i remember what the outside loading area looked like. the packed restaurant. the corridor. the warehouse. the lockers. the hallway #IF I HAD A BETTER MEMORY I STG I COULD MAP IT OUT #god i love my dreams. they're always plot based and im rarely myself <3

What about voldedad? Where does he fall in the trio-verse???????

Oy vey. There can never be too many HCs I suppose, so here I am again going overboard:

From the moment they find out about her pregnancy Lord Voldemort despises it. Bellatrix seems so certain, so eager.. He’s unable to understand why. A baby right now? When he is so close to finally claiming his reign? He bars her from combat in the hopes that her bloodlust will outweigh this silly sentiment. It does not. He never wanted an heir, never needed one - he is very vocal about this. Yet, he allows her this child because, in the end, what choice does he have? 

The Dark Lord is very much intentionally avoiding Bellatrix when there is an attack on one of the safe houses. He is incensed, unsure how The Order was able to locate another so quickly- these vigilanties would have to be dealt with. His rage turns cold once he is informed that Bella was there. Lord Voldemort apparates without a second thought, following the feel of her magic. He orders everyone out of the room and soon she is pulled tight against him, his hands hard in her hair before drifting lower. Finally, he’s forced to acknowledge that he was worried about them both.

It’s going to be a girl. He really shouldn’t be surprised, Bellatrix has been claiming as much since the early weeks of her pregnancy - apparently she dreams about her. He’s oddly relieved, suddenly paying a bit more attention to Bella’s musings about long dark curls and deep amber eyes. “Does she tell you her name?” He asks her - it’s the first times he’s ever directly referred to their baby out loud. She smiles. 

‘Delphini’ he hisses at the growing swell of Bella’s stomach in parseltongue, too curious not to. Bella’s hand lingers at the nape of his neck watching him intently. He hisses again and at once all the dim candles lining their rooms alight. It is so sudden that both of them turn to one another refusing to believe that she did that.

The birth is much harder than the pregnancy. Bellatrix is screaming for hours and for once he feels powerless. He wants to rage at her, threaten her, order her to survive this. She pulls through, of course, Bella is not Merope. He does not enjoy babies, they remind him far too much of the Orphanage. However, he does feel oddly privileged when Delphini’s cries die in her throat the minute she is placed in his arms.

Father is not a concept he is well acquainted with but ‘dada’ and ‘papa’ he is slowly getting used to. 

Her magic is very much intentional. Bella tells him this is not normal, that most children have no control over their magic in the first few years of life. Delphini is not most children. She is His - a Gaunt and a Black - the blood of Salazar and of the stars flow through her veins. He has no doubt she’ll be exceptional and a part of him is almost proud. 

He doesn’t entirely hate it - when the little witch sleeps between them at night. Her hands are so small still that she holds just one of his fingers in her mighty grip. He allows her this.

The Ministry orders a search of Lestrange Estates. They were not warned, and only get word partway through the strategy meeting. He and Bellatrix are off in an instant, no words needed between them. They burst into the nursery and he sees her propped up in some strange wizard's hold. Rage rips through him so viciously he doesn’t even think. The wizard’s body hits the floor and Bellatrix is already sweeping their little girl back into safe arms. The other two witches also sent by the Auror Department are imperiused, ushered back to the atrium to report their minimal findings. The dead wizard will be a problem, one that he’ll drop off the ramparts of White Tower later. ‘We need to be more careful.' He thinks, in Bellatrix's arms the little witch is shaking. 

#voldedad is a NEW ONE #im strangely okay with it #sorry I am also slightly starting to contradict myself in these #listen im still working things out too okay #first one is putting it so lightly #let's just say I don't think there conversations were so forgiving in the beginning #dademort was certainly not dadding at that point #was going to through something in here about the potters and prophecy and all that but liike #look how long this is already #no #delphini #delphi #lord voldemort #dademort #VOLDEDAD #bellatrix lestrange #pregnant bellatrix #you get it

One thing I've learned from being in the marvel fandom and also from watching people's reactions to MoM is that fans will never be happy, they will always find something to complain over, for example if MoM had more cameos y'all would complain bc it's to much, but now that they had the perfect amount of cameos, what a shock still not happy about it, and they go on the search for such small details to even judge certain scenes, like I'm concerned

And don't get me started on the exaggeration on the reactions towards the movie like some of y'all really be acting as if that was the worst movie in the world or from the mcu (which I've seen someone say something along the lines) and I just wanna know where tf is all that reaching and exaggerating coming from, like I genuinely wonder if half of this people don't actually like it or if they are following what others say (wouldn't be the first time)

Anyway everyday that goes by I agree more and more with that statement that was going around that some marvel fans just follow what others say and they don't get their own opinions at times

#I know some people are about to be so mad about this oof #And I will only answer people that can start a conversation without going straight into attacking #The others I'm about to block them all #wanda maximoff #marvel #mcu #doctor strange in the multiverse of madness #Dr strange #Multiverse of madness

I’m only halfway thru c2e68 but I’ve already gotten to the iconic Nott and Yasha “killed my whole family, throw you under a bridge” conversation AND Beau and Caleb having a heart to heart about Caleb’s feelings towards Nott ever since she reunited with Yeza….. This is a Very Good episode.

#caleb feeling. so strange about his relationship with nott #being happy for her but not knowing how he fits into her life anymore #if he should treat her the same as he used to #if they were too close before #if that was inappropriate #ahh GOD i have so many thoughts about this conversation #and also the nott and yasha conversation. pure gold #watched an animatic of that convo before i started c2 and it’s one of the things that made me want to get into cr #iconic #critical role #cr2 #c2e68 #nott the brave #veth brenatto #yasha nydoorin #caleb widogast #widobrave #kk talks about stuff #kk watches cr2

I am too sleepy to explain the very silly context for this, but does anyone know how to receive messages from ghosts? Apparently I have mail from beyond the grave.

#about me #I had a very strange conversation with a complete stranger #she also warned me to start wearing black tourmaline #I do not believe in ghosts but I still want my ghost mail.

im in this nonwhite-only lgbt group in my city (or at least i attended like 1 event and im in their whatsapp groups) and like im glad to be in it ig but also the fucking conversations are abysmal. someone just sent a message warning people to mask up bc theres another rise in covid cases and someone else replied "were filling up on essential oils!" and im just expected to act like thats a reasonable thing to say. this new age shit in lgbt spaces is insane to me like.

#97 #all the new agey shit makes me insane. #in the one event i attended i had to leave at some point bc everyone started talking about like.. #their crystals and astrology leading to a conversation on like evil vibes and malevolent entities and shit #and i had to go in the bathroom and chill myself down bc that shit is like. so paranoia inducing. #like they were essentially talking like this was known fact about how theres bad entities that live in your home and can attack you at nigh #thats literally the shit my delusions are about. #and im not usually on the side of like 'everyone has to tailor their conversations to avoid triggering stuff' i dont believe that #but its the like.. how personal religious/spiritual/new age beliefs are treated as accepted reality in these spaces #without you opting into that youre kinda expected to participate in lengthy convos about spiritual shit and its like. #this is a group about being lgbt (in this particular case being poc as well but it happens in every lgbt group) yet it seems almost like.. #people think discussing new age spiritual beliefs is an integral part of leftist/lgbt organizing and assume that everyone believes in it #like idk maybe bring back spiritism clubs and go do that and have fun. they were kinda cunty you could def bring that back. #hell yknow if i was prepared to talk about some heavily paranoia/unreality inducing shit and i knew it was coming id even attend #events surrounding the subject i think it can be interesting + have some of my own beliefs #but like. yknow how when i go on a tangent about my strange beliefs i tag that shit unreality bc ik talking about it like its applicable #to everyone is harmful? yeah.

Does anyone else occasionally see a news update from someone and just turn into a feral animal over it? Asking for a friend

#its me im the friend #and by someone i usually mean an ex lol #i decided to check if they are still alive (they are!) #and its the pettiest thing. like the most petty thing ever #i get angry when an ex watches a new show before i do. hence another reason not check on them #this happened years ago with high school of the dead of all things #i ended up not watching high school of the dead until like a year ago because i was angry they beat me to it like 6 years ago #and yeah i finally watched it and it was so very terrible. kinda glad they got that one #back when i still spoke with them regularly (we still talk but its rare now) like 6 years ago #they mentioned that they were going to watch deadman wonderland so i stayed up long hours for like a day or two #and just binged the hell out of deadman wonderland so they would not beat me to it lol #deadman wonderland was also subpar. my ex does not have great taste in anime #but today i found out they watched two shows (one of which i finished a few months ago and one i havent started yet) #and unlike before these are actually good anime not subpar 6-year-old mainstream anime lol #no offense to people who like high school of the dead or deadman wonderland. they just werent for me #i actually found deadman wonderland somewhat fascinating but the anime fell flat. i plan to read the manga one day #i should also clarify that by feral animal i just mean im grumpy. im not going to say or do anything about it #i'll probably either watch the anime out of spite very soon or refuse to watch it for several years. we shall see #also in other news my ex unblocked me? yeah it the ex that blocked me randomly a few months ago and then undid it right after #it was all very strange. like i said we still talk. we havent fought. i never start conversations they always initiate them #except in special circumstances. i did reach out recently for work related reason because i had a problem that aligned with their job #i did not mention anything about the blocking and neither did they lol. i guess we are pretending it didnt happen #so i have had 3? exes block me only to unblock me a few weeks to months later? why is this a trend #why am i still awake at three am you ask? ANGER #thats half a joke. i am already over the anger with my ex beating me to the shows but i am angry for unrelated reasons #reasons that have to do with another person once again breaking our appointment after they promised we would talk today #they were a complete no show. im rather annoyed by it. but alas~ that is life #im tempted to delete this post because its really just venting but i find the wording of the post itself to be kinda funny so it can live #neo rambles #neo complains in the tags

If I loved Wataei less I might be able to talk about them more....

#You know what I also like. Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice (knows that's a quote from Emma) #Gosh I really need to read Emma #Been meaning to but I've just been chipping away at mansfield park because it is so long #and personally I find it rather tedious to read because...Well let's just say I'm not very partial to people marrying their cousins #I am aware it was not strange in ye olden days but it's one of those modern biases I can't really shake off #but I can live with it it's just something that makes me do a little displeased frown because honestly #that's the best match the poor girl could've gotten in that book there were no better options at least the guy wasn't a complete moron #as far as I can gage at least #but I guess that's my fault for starting with Pride and Prejudice I found my Austen otp in Elizabeth and Darcy I just think they're really #really neat #I originally got into Jane Austen because I have a classmate or well I guess friend would be a fitting term too although we don't really #talk outside of a school setting or outside of the group but I don't really talk to anyone outside of the group or school anyways so #might as well just call her a friend #but yes she is very into Jane Austen she's such an anglophile in the best way possible it's very endearing she can tell you a lot about tea #and such #but back to topic I got into the books because she liked them and we share an english class where we're the only ones from our little bubbl #so naturally that sparks conversation and what to talk about when two people who are into english novels if not english novels #I got her to read Sherlock Holmes and she still like Agatha Christie better #but I was very happy about that because I really like Sherlock Holmes #she's much more patient than some of my other friends if that's the right word so that makes talking easier #it's not fun when you can tell your conversation partner doesn't really care #so now I'm still trying to get through all the Auste novels I'm doing a terribly poor job at it #been at it since January how many have I managed to finish? two. #I'm listening to the audiobooks and listening to engllish can be very tiring and the lady that narrates has a very nice voice so sometimes #I fall asleep and lose the point where I was so then I have to start the entire chapter again and it's a whole thing really #but where were we ah yes Wataei #I love them I really do it's such a shame I wish I could articulate it and put it into words #but instead I have this feelings soup #oh for shame what a horrible horrible world to live in #I missed rambling in my tags I think if I'm too scared to post something I'll just put it aaaaaalll in my tags again

ok im actually feeling a bit crazy I need to interact with ppl beyond my immediate family and workplace

#i need to talk to with friends again #and actually go places #and be my authentic self like I feel I’ve been masking but then I’m scared I’ll come off as rude or self centered or strange #the anxiety!!! #click clack #really thought I grown out of it but nope #my 20’s are all about figuring out that I did not get over the ostracization I faced as an elementary schooler #snowballing into me learning how to be comfortable in solitude but oh no now I’m yearning #hahahaha :’) these feelings came out of nowhere but they’ve been building up slowly for the past year or so #or my whole life actually #im actually more upset that I’m not even doing much with my free time other than scrolling and reading. I wanna make things again!!! #which means if I’m not making things I would love to socialize but I feel so paralyzed #all my needs are met except my social interaction bar???? #and if it were to happen more I can’t keep up a conversation or scared to start one and the pressure of replying #*screams internally* #ok I let that out I just gotta practice talking to people again that’s all…right?

feeling deeply (redacted) on this day!

#the (redacted) coursing through my veins is not helping me come up with fun quirky things to say #it's just making me super weird #it's bc i can't sleep recently which i am blaming on my period so really it is all that damn uterus!!!! #i am going to lift weights after this class and see if that makes me tired enough that the (redacted) courses through my veins in a fun #sexy way instead of just making me strange to talk to #oh god why did i start rambling abt my whale sticker on my laptop that is bc i like whales. why did i reveal i enjoy moby dick. #why do i sound so scared during a normal conversation i have practiced my tone soooo much. #me every day: i'm going to be so normal today! *runs out of small talk options & immediately panics*

i think that about covers the ✨entire population✨

#this started off as a complaint about inconsiderate commuters and my strange coworkers… and somehow ended with my grandparents lmao #idk why but my coworkers seem to really like physical contact for some reason?? i’m not used to it at all man… #like there could be a ton of space behind me but this coworker would walk directly up behind me and pat my back or something? lady pls #or i could be looking at my results and my other coworker would just randomly hug me and i??? lady pls???? i’m so confused #and the thing is… i really really hate being touched by any other person (except my mother. she’s fine) so i’m just (ʘ‿ʘ) throughout it all #and speaking of physical contact… those commuters. man. ಠ‿ಠ #who brings their prams out at like 7.25am anyway? it’s early as balls and the kid’s still asleep 80% of the time anyway #pls take your kids out on a family trip later in the day… yk… when people aren’t trying to squeeze onto the train to get to work??? #and they almost always choose to stand right smack in the middle of the train… right in front of the door to boot. at least move in???? #and sometimes (the worst times) the kids are obviously old enough to walk around (and are in fact running around the train at that moment)… #…but the parent keeps the pram unfolded in all its oversized glory anyway. like whyyyyyyyyy #so now not only do commuters have to squeeze together because of a lack of space… #…they now have to shuffle around to avoid bumping into the kid. like ughhhhhhhhhhhh i hate trains sm #and also! those people who purposely stand on the side of the escalator that people walk up on and refuse to walk???? hate them too #i’ve missed so many trains because of them ಠ‿ಠ especially if they stop moving right at the end of the escalator (ʘ‿ʘ) #screw trains fr >:( buses are much better!! the air conditioning is better on buses too!!!!!! #life was much better in quarantine ngl. i could shut myself out from the outside world and just ✨thrive✨ in peace… #those overly-specific things in the dni list are all based on my family members and former acquaintances lmao #shoutout to my chopper-wielding border hopping grandpa and self-hammering grandma!!! i barely knew you guys!!!! #wait come to think of it… i have never really had a single conversation with any of my grandparents. whoops. #i don’t even know their names either… double whooooooops #and so that marks the end of my pointless rant for now. i could’ve just summed this up as ‘dni if you’re human’ tbh #i’ve even done like quite a few of these things on my own list do… dni: me???

im too high to be thinking this hard about simon alkenmayer

#one would really REALLY think this would be one of those like.. tumblr deepdives or something #id say somebody should make one of those but like i feel kinda sick thinking about it too hard in general #it's just. such a strange experiment #and like in my little search thing i was doing #there was all this stuff. all this variety of horrific shit they wrote or whatever #but like . i cant even get through a paragraph or whatever #like if i read too much of that faq or whatever #i just feel genuinely sick. like. this 'experiment' #like.. i cant even talk about individual issues here because like. theres just the constant implication and context within every post #like 'yeah i eat people and you 'gentle readers' who are aware of me are the only ones who are off the menu' #like . girl you do this and insist you Care Not For Petty Human Squabbles or whatever #and then say something antisemetic . like dont you fry human fingers and restore antiques. why are you taking time OUT OF YOUR DAY-- #and that's exactly it!!!!!!! what i just did!!!!! you can't even point out like actual fucking issues #because you gotta give the fucking cryptid legitimacy . like what the fuck am i supposed to do here #and like i'm paranoid . genuinely paranoid now for like . safety now #and dont get me started on the cop shit. fuckin grey light yagami or whatever the fuck #im thinking about this too hard but i need a deep dive and some genuine conversation and not on their terms lmao
