Sometimes my silly little thoughts at 1 am abt redacted characters get me excited, so here’s what I’ve been thinking: Morgan’s listener (bc I think they have SO MUCH potential), Angel, and Freelancer edition
Morgan’s listener, Angel, and Freelancer are all siblings. Angel and Freelancer share the same parents while Morgan’s listener has a different Dad.
Morgan’s listener came from a very short-lived relationship between their mom and dad, hence why (headcanon they’re the eldest of the 3) there’s such a large age gap between them like I’m talking they were 11-12 when Angel was born and 16-17 when Freelancer was born.
Morgan’s listener skipped town the day after their 18th birthday and hasn’t spoken to their family since for “unknown reasons” (cough ‘seer’ cough). Angel doesn’t really remember them but doesn’t ask abt them bc the family obviously pretends they don’t exist and BECAUSE of that, Freelancer has no idea that Morgan’s listener was even alive.
They came back after several years (and after learning more abt their powers) and found a job at a small coffee shop. This just so happens to be the same coffee shop where Angel and David met, and guess who just so happened to be working that same day the 2 introduced themselves to each other! Yup, Morgan’s listener!! Imagine their shock seeing their little sibling fully grown now, (bc it’s just been that long), and now horrendously?? flirting?? With?? Someone??
That same month guess who stops by for a drink with one too many shots of espresso? Yea you guessed it, Freelancer! And guess who takes their order? Yup! You know who. Morgan’s listener takes a while to recognize them (I mean, the last time they saw FL was when they were a literal infant) until they ask for a name for the order. Here’s what I think happened within 60 seconds.
“Can I get a name for that order?”
“Yea, of course!” *FL drops very familiar name and ML’s heart sinks*
A couple seconds go by:
FL: “Hey I know I don’t know you but you look a lot like my sibling and I…kinda like our mom too…..super weird! We should take a picture, I think they’d love it.”
ML: “….Yea, uh, super weird. Um, I don’t know abt the photo man, sorry. Let me get your order for you though.”
And before FL can say anything, there goes ML running off into the back. It’s odd and leaves FL with a sour taste in their mouth but they can’t just help but think they’ve met this person before. And what’s worse, is that FL feels like this is the second time they’re letting them down.
And for the first time ever, Morgan’s listener regrets leaving.

Personally the amount of people who are either "Jake is a stupid himbo" or "Jake is actively malicious" blow my mind. No, Jake isn't stupid, and he's not evil. He's a sixteen year old who is implied to have a mental disability and/or brain damage (it's not exactly clear, Caliborn claims they have the same developmental disorder and Dirk iirc worries that Jake hit his head too much, I guess you can take either with a grain of salt but I digress), and has not had meaningful real life interactions with other human beings in years. He is in the wrong for his actions, but it feels. Purposefully ignorant to claim he's just stupid or just evil for them.
He's socially stunted. He wants to emulate heroes in movies but lacks self esteem and experience. If the alpha kids had enough time to be more fleshed out (and let's be real, if Hussie cared about Jake) this might have been explored more thoroughly. He'd never had the opportunity to learn how to cope with a relationship, how to communicate his needs, or understand that he can't control how other people perceive him like he can through a computer screen.
He doesn't know healthy boundaries because he's never had to use them, and this goes both ways (allowing his friends to sexualise him and treat him like an object, as well as constantly complaining about his relationship with Dirk to Jane) Like yeah he does run away instead of communicating with Dirk and yeah he does dump all his problems on Jane. I love Jane, but one of her problems is her bottling up her feelings and people pleasing until everything blows up. She should have told him off much sooner, and while he was being a dick, it was partly because she allowed him to feel like it was okay to do, since she never told him it wasn't after the first few times or when she was starting to get aggravated.
His problems with Dirk are a little more complicated because we're never actually shown their relationship or how it broke down, but from what we can gather, Jake felt overwhelmed by Dirk's intensity and decided to ignore him rather than tell him try and avoid confrontation but leading to Dirk being frustrated and breaking up with him. Dirk claims he feels like he bullied Jake into a relationship, and though I personally think that's him making it seem worse than it was, it does mean that Dirk probably was trying to go too fast. I've best heard it is Jake being an introvert pretending to be an extrovert.
This is not to say I don't think people can't dislike or even hate Jake, but it's like. Idk. Misinterpreting a character and disliking that version of them is a little redundant to me.

Ok, I recently wrote an essay [here] talking about the definition and duties of civil engineering as well as the ethics because of the brain rot @swordfright gave me with calling Dream Sam’s ultimate engineering project. So, because I actually am a civil engineer I took it upon myself to design the title and summary of quantities sheets just like I do at work for roads but with Dream as the project instead. And in honor of angst day sponsored by @sixteenth-day-event, I figured I’d share it because I feel like it kinda works for the prison of the mind prompt.
“Sam’s “ultimate engineering project” he deemed too damaged like a bumpy road or crumbling building that wasn’t worthy of patching and filling in the cracks or reinforcing, that’s too eroded to be fixed and preserved. So, Sam strived to tear him down to the bedrock so he could remake, remold, and reengineer Dream according to his design for the common safety, public health and well-fair.”
{These are very similar to the actual sheets I make day to day, which I shall not share for the sake of doxing my location, but yea pretty much everything has a significance. Some of it doesn’t necessarily make sense but that was because I was more so taking inventory of what we see in lore (so you know I counted ;) lol)}
