Angel

Ocean

Joy

Tattoos

Angel- Yep

Ocean- It's kind of hard to time yearly vacations? If I want to go somewhere, and have time, then I'll just go. I think that counts

Joy- Hard to choose, there's been a lot of good times. There was this time a bit back where Mark and I were staying in Japan, discussing some project details with Sega reps, and we decided to stay in one of the more traditional hot springs towns. That was incredible given everything going on with work at the time. Of course then Alir joined us and thought it would be funny to cook risotto using one of the springs. Which wasn't half bad, it's just not what you're supposed to do

There was also that time around the start of this year I made a post asking for something and a lot of people responded and were generally lovely. That was nice too

Tattoos- I don't, they're a pain because they get you easily identified and tracked, so it's just better not to. Someday maybe

About Aristotle and Dante!! Why do you think Ari was into that girl (I forget her name)? Do you think he is bisexual or was he just confused or what?

With Dante, it makes it clear that even when he was kissing a girl, he wished he was kissing a boy. But I don't know if that was ever clarified about Ari. I'd love to know how you interpreted that!

ooooo i'm not sure; i personally had thought he might have been bisexual (last time i reread it seemed pretty ambiguous as to giving his sexuality a label).

but otherwise i also thought it might have been ari looking to fill the space left by dante in a way. i think that this was around the time dante had settled in after moving and began writing about his own experiences with girls and exploring his own sexuality. i don't really remember if ari responded to all of the letters (at least from what we saw), but maybe ari decided well if dante is growing up and moving on like that, i should too.

ari also might have not blatantly stated that he wished he was kissing a boy instead of illeana (i think that's her name!), but we have to remember that it's from ari's pov and he's what i think could be considered an unreliable narrator. so we might simply not get that sort of insight.

ari also was still clearly thinking about dante while being with illeana. i distinctly remember this scene where ari describes a dream he has. he's driving his truck and by the end of it, hits dante with his truck i think. but everytime, he hits dante with his truck because he was looking over at illeana. ari's dreams throughout the novel are really telling of his deeper feelings, so i interpreted that dream sequence as illeana being a sort of "welcome distraction" away from everyhting he's feeling for dante at the time - he doesn't want to deal with what he's feeling.

at the same time, there was that moment nearing the end of the novel where ari goes swimming again, this time meeting a girl and briefly talking to her before leaving. he didn't say much about how he felt about her, so i kind of looked at that moment as a way to contrast his first conversation with dante. with dante, the two kept talking and were engaged in getting to know one other. this girl wanted to be able to talk to ari too (she smiled at him and started the conversation i think), but ari wasn't interested, which really just goes to show ari's growing unconscious feelings for dante, in my opinion.

idk though jfhdkdjf; this went really off topic, but tl;dr - i think it's possible ari might be bisexual, but i also really could see that ari was looking for ways to channel his feelings for dante in another way.

(thank you for the ask!! this was so much fun to actually think of and basically spew out interpretations on JHKDFHJ-)

EDIT: i’ve been made aware actually that the author, benjamin alire sáenz, confirmed that ari is gay! here are two asks that notified me of this, and ty for letting me know

My main gripe with grrm is him not doing enough of mother daughter relationships. I wouldn’t be who I am without my mum. And in history mothers were close to their sons some very, which shows how close they would be to their daughters who’d they spend more time with! I need cat and Sansa, cat and Arya, margeary and Alire and olenna, need more remembrance from cat of her mother, and Cersei and mrycella because different dynamics are good for text and relatable. Who’d you like to see?

I would like for... any mother daughter interaction in this series at all. I would like to know how Alerie interacts with Margaery in private, and I hope we get a final scene between Myrcella and Cersei in Winds where Myrcella calls her mom out when Cersei responds badly to her mutilated face.

Please give us some more quotes!

okay okay okay, since you asked for it, here are some that are either really meaningful, or others that i just found really cute:

“The summer sun was not meant for boys like me. Boys like me belonged to the rain.” - Benjamin Alire Sáenz, “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”

“Words were different when they lived inside of you.” - Benjamin Alire Sáenz, “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Universe” (i have a slightly modified version of this one as a tattoo on my forearm because i loved it so much!)

“Maybe it’s better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs.” - Adam Silvera, “They Both Die at the End”

“Sleep heavily and know that I am here with you. The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us, we can cope with that. We can do this together you and I.” - Joseph Fink, Jeffrey Cranor, “Welcome to Night Vale, episode 12” (wtnv is full to the brim of amazing quotes that i love with all my heart and if i put all of them here, this post would be full of them. so lmk if you want more amazing wtnv quotes)

“I need to have things to remember to hold on to who I am. Today is…it’s gonna be one of those memories. Barry already gave me a day. And…I love him, Taako, with all of my heart, but you…I needed a day from you, because you are my heart. You know that, right?” - Griffin Mcelroy, “The Adventure Zone: Balance, episode 65″ (same as with wtnv, taz balance is full of amazing quotes. if you want to see some more of my favs from this series, check out this post)

“repeat after me: you owe no one your forgiveness. - except maybe yourself.” - Amanda Lovelace, “the princess saves herself in this one”

“Luc yawned, leaning back into the chair to regard me by the light of the sputtering candle. ‘You are lovely.’ I stood, frozen, unsure of how to respond. And then he baffled me even further when he lumbered to his feet and folded me into a tight embrace, as if he had known me his entire life and we had been separated for years.” - Rebecca Ross, “The Queen’s Rising.” (some important context for this one - this is not a conversation between love interests, but is in fact the first meeting between our main character and her adopted brother)

“‘This is my daughter,’ Jourdain said. ‘You will not touch her again.’ ‘She is mine,’ Allenach growled. ‘She is mine, and I will take back the life I gave her.’ Jourdain had the defiance to chuckle, as if Allenach had said the most foolish of things. ‘She was never yours to begin with, Brendan.’” - Rebecca Ross, “The Queen’s Rising” (the girl they’re talking about is the same one from the quote above. this duology has lots of very sweet adopted family feels)

“‘Please don’t hate me for this, but I’d always assumed the Handicapped were different from norms. We were taught at school that the only difference was a faulty immune system, but all the jokes people make about the smell, the stupidity, the ugliness...Well, they had a bigger impact than one science lesson.’ He paused. ‘I was on a base in Gamma sector when the news broke about the alien probe arriving at Earth. There were three hundred of us packed into a hall watching the vid coverage. We saw you, startlingly young for the job you were doing, with a name that told us you were descended from Tellon Blaze, then...’ He shook his head. ‘Then some bigoted civilian called you an ape, and we realized you were Handicapped. I think we were as stunned by that as by the news of the alien probe. That moment changed my image of the Handicapped from a slow-witted semi-human to a glowing girl.’” - Janet Edwards, “Earth Flight” 

“The government says your existence is a crime, but no matter what kind of weapons you may hold, just being alive isn't a sin! There's no crime in living!” - Eiichiro Oda, “One Piece”

anyway now that the unimportant stuff is out of the way. Who wants their troll to work for the Alires estate

For lowbloods (Rust-Olive): Housekeeping/cleaning, gardening, serving meals/waiting on the residents, minor hive repairs/maintenance, serves the residents (such as helping with hair/clothing or whatever other bullshit they want help with) - Full or part-time - Live-in is available and includes meals but will cut into pay - Pay and treatment is pretty good compared to other highblood establishments, usually you’re ignored at worst

For mid-highbloods (Olive-Blue): Cooking, management of staff (and potentially finances), security detail; Possibly other services if your troll wants to bring it to the table - Full time - Live-in can be discussed - Pay depends on job and caste but is better than average

SO Reblog this with your trolls profile(s) and the jobs they could do! Bonus: Write a little IC blurb on why they want the job/what they could bring to the table (don’t stress over it obvs) 

I’ll respond by saying if they could get the job and why they were accepted/declined -v-
