Sorry, had to take a 5 day break from my Doctor Who hyperfixation because it got too strong especially after going to Megacon and I got a little overwhelmed, as one does with hyperfixations, but now I am ready to fully jump in again <3

my eternal issue is i fundamentally see the world as the problem rather than me so then none of my problems ever get solved because i’m too busy being annoyed at the world for being Like That to do anything about my own problems

Comments- Colby Brock x y/n- part 7-
Tumblr media
AUTHORS NOTE: omg guys I am so so sorry just got back into Sam and Colby and decided to finish this in my drafts I had like a paragraph written already. This is my first time back into writing fanfiction since a concussion i had so I’m trying my best sorry it’s so short this is a continuation of my series where y/n got possessed in the last part
warnings: mentions on possession, fluff, slight slight angst,
“Babe” Colby called from his computer “you should come see this”
after me getting possessed I insisted on them posting the video. We were so lucky that we caught it on camera. They were hesitant at first but I said I want people to know what happened. It’s insane that I got possessed but I want people to know what really happened. It was a really scary experience. But I’m still really worried about the video. Would they say I’m just overreacting?. That it was fake and I was just a coward? But I always get some kind of nervous when they post a video with me in it. But this video was special. I still haven’t gotten to watch it yet. I had spent most of the time recovering and spending my time with Colby.
I go over to the computer and see him sitting reading comments. I sit down on his lap, even though he’s just wearing such a simple outfit sweatshirt and comfy pants he still looks hot. I look through the comments and to my surprise they are divided into basically two parts (well maybe 3 with the amount of people commenting “I don’t claim any negative energy from this video”) the first is about how scary it was when I got possessed and how bad they feel for me. The second is how people are talking about how they think me and Colby are dating and that there is so much chemistry between us. Another thing I noticed is that the video went viral. I mean stupid viral, more than most of their videos combined. It had only been out for 5 days and it already reached 50 million views!!! Mostly I think because of my possession from outside viewers who weren’t subscribed but there were plenty of fans. Some of the comments said the following:
Cheriklover333: I feel so bad for y/n she looks so scared I cant imagine how horrible it must feel to be posses like that
kurtwagnerisacinnimonroll: did anyone notice how Colby looked at y/n 😩. I need someone like that and did yall notice her hickeys 😳
Polaris-alt-account: people who think Colby and y/n are dating 👇
that comment had over 500k likes
I groan “shit! Shit! Shit!” I rub my temples “colbs I never wanted this im sorry I dragged you into this—“
“hey hey it’s okay baby” he wraps his arms around me and presses his head on top of mine. The weight of his body on mine feels good. The closeness and warmth feels good. His hands slip into mine and grasp it lightly but firm. He is protective but caring. “You didn’t drag me into anything. I don’t care what people think I just wanna be yours”
I nod but I still have tears in my eyes not much and I feel stupid for crying but I can’t help but think I’m the one that got us into this whole mess. My gaze drifts back to the computer monitor
rosefromtitanic: you guys need to chill yes I see the way he looks at her but they should come out and say it before we jump to conclusions I think they should do a Q and A
a smile on my face appears as a light bulb practically goes off in my brain. My eyes wander to my boyfriend. And again I’m taken aback by just how breathtaking he is…I can see his muscles and I wonder what under his shirt…………snap out of it!! You need to focus.
“colbs how do you feel about about making our relationship public?”
Edit: I TRIED I REALLY DID ITS THE BEST I COULD DO FEEDBACK PLEASE!!! might write a part 8. But x men is currently my hyperfixation and am definitely going to be writing for Peter maximof and young Charles Xavier so if you’re interested send ideas. Going to write for young Coryo snow even though he’s evil he’s hot. Tried my best couldn’t leave you all hanging

What I know about the batman characters based solely off osmosis from the mutuals
Batman - seems sad but actually loves people so so much. Is trying to help all the time. Isn't always very good at it. The writers screw him over regularly. Let this man rest please. Against murder so struggles with everyone else in this post because they all want to commit murder to a certain degree.
Dick Grayson - ok so here's the thing my title was slightly a lie I did watch the '60s batman show I am well aquainted with it, so I know about this boy. An icon. A legend. A Good Boy. Trying his best. Good at riddles. Now all grown up and has an absolutely terrible outfit. Oldest Sibling tm.
Jason - he died??? He came back?? And decided the way to deal with that was Murder? He doesn't have a good relationship with Batman but actually he does? The fans voted to kill him????? He's the only one I can tell apart from the others because he has some white hair so he's actually recognisable??? Angsty and sad but apparently not like that anymore????? Seems to have wildly varying characterisation??????
Tim - I know next to nothing about this boy. No one says anything about him. Vagely sure he had a mental break and started killing people at some point but tbh that's like 90% of people on this list so who knows. Named after a duck so that's all I can think about when I see him. Short??? Is that canon????
Barbara - so when I was younger Barbara was batgirl and ran around a lot but now she's in a wheelchair so I'm assuming there was an accident of some sort that messed up her spine/legs. Librarian and does cool library stuff. The Voice Of Reason (absolute lie).
Stephanie - another batgirl??? Blonde??? The least psychologically damaged of all of them perhaps??? Or just really really good at hiding it???? Very much like Tim re not being talked about as much so I'm assuming her storyline has less drama (read: doesn't actually die and then go off the rails and kill everyone).
Duke - I barely know this man exists I'm not even sure if that's the correct name. I think he might be new. Again seems chill. But what do I know. The mutuals never talk about him.
Cassandra - banging name. Child assassin? Raised to be an assassin? Murder parents???? Doesn't want to murder??? Sad about it all??? Emo girl?????? All I know about her is vibes I'm so sorry but the vibes seem cool.
Damien - actual son of Batman, literally related to him. Doesn't know how contractions work. Weird little kid should probably learn to hyperfixate on dinosaurs or something it would do him good. Hates other people. Shorter than Tim. Also wants to commit murder.
I am convinced there's another? There's another batboy of some sort??? But I can't for the life of me remember????? I'm so sorry

How Would The Locked Tomb Cast Do At Survivor?
Yes, it is time for my highly-researched opinions about how my current hyperfixation’s cast would do at my favorite reality game show!
I went through big chunks of the cast and sorted them into groups by playstyle/likely outcome/role in the season.  A few characters are not easily sorted into a group, so they’re on their own. This mostly assumes the cast is isolated, though I may assume “someone like so and so” as options for tribemates; if I have a Blood vs Water thought, how they’d do with their loved one, I’ll bring it up. I will be ranking the groups on their likeliest boot orders, with a bit of wiggle-room, because after a certain point, that stops being super meaningful. I should have just done a Brant-Steele, I wouldn’t have to organize that.
Away we go under the cut!
...Survivor? That’s still on?
Let me give anyone unfamiliar with a 22-year old show a quick rundown: Game starts with everyone divided into usually 2-3 tribes of 6-10 people each. At this phase, immunity from tribal council earned in challenges is tribal, and the losing tribe goes to tribal council and they vote someone out. The tribes might swap players or change considerations, Survivor hates consistent formatting; somewhere in the 13-10-ish range, the tribes merge and immunity from the vote at tribal council becomes individual. People voted out join the Jury, who watch tribal council; at the end, the final 3 face the jury for Q&A or speeches, and the jury votes for the winner. You can get 1-use immunity from a vote by finding a hidden immunity idol. I am treating Final 4 as a point where no one meaningfully controls who goes home, because the current mechanic kind of works that way. I hate it, and am ignoring its existence.
Now, please note that Survivor is a very, very swing-y game. The things that win you the game one season might not in another, so there’s only some cases where I’m very sure how they would do, and some cases where I think there’s a range -- if you’re in theory capable of making it to the final 7 or so, and capable of doing it without screwing yourself out of victory, there might be a universe where you can win... or you could just miss your shot, who knows.
The Total Disasters (Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Silas, Judith, Mercymorn, Honesty, Crux, probably Pash, maybe Ortus  but maybe not)
Look, some people are not destined to win Survivor. That’s most people, honestly. But some people are very, very clearly destined to be voted out immediately. These are people who cannot disguise any part of themselves to get along, who cannot chill, who need to have things their way or the highway, who eschew social bonds in favor of their own machinations and standards. Survivor is a game of connection, and it’s a game of connecting to people who are nothing like you. You can see why everyone on this listing might be total, unmitigated disasters. 
Judith is the most likely person in the universe to force the entire tribe to just sit there in the shelter, we have no need for duplicity or sneaking off for private strategy talks, we will just eliminate the weakest link, It is very straightforward! No one likes that. It never goes well. 
Harrow and Honesty are both very likely to get in trouble for immediately scouting for idols -- and not being subtle enough about it. Harrow is at least reasonably likely to find one, though.  Honesty probably just applied when he heard about the time a cellophane-wrapped block of cocaine washed up on the beach during filming. It could happen again, on a different beach. Maybe production won’t take this one away. It could happen! Silas is most likely to interpret the immunity idol as a form of idolatry and be pissed about it. Both of these stories actually happened, though one never made it to the show.  (Also, no one would want to see Silas after he’s gotten dirty. It’d just be sad.)
For some reason, undefinable for me, Mercymorn feels like she’d last a round or two, she just has big “third boot” vibes. I think she can maybe be functional enough in her hate to stick around. Ortus can stay out of this group if he does not quote too much poetry, and is not too big a downer. Pash can if she does not get into too many fights.
Precious Cinnamon Role Too Good for this Game, Too Pure (Nona)
Nona lives in her own category. She probably would be a form of disaster, but a very different one.  Nona’s social skills honestly would preserve her from Harrow’s fate of immediate vote-out. That said, her inability to lie and her general softness would combine to make her a major problem as an ally: you could not tell her anything. She would be very uncomfortable about votes. I think she probably would not get very deep in before her unease at voting people out would make her too unreliable an ally to keep. I’m picturing Marquesas’ Gabriel Cade as I say this, and that was pre-merge. Cinnamon roll too good for this game, too pure.
On the other hand... I feel like there is an incredibly unlikely chance, if the stars align, that Nona could win. It would be a disaster season -- and probably very funny. This would require everyone else to be missing at least one of the following Survivor skills: Surviving to the End, Being Likeable, Removing Threats. Nona would have to be the only person whose two remaining skills are Being Likeable and Surviving to the End. If that happens, maybe everyone else would all self-destruct on each other while Nona has a fun adventure with all the blase innocence of a Cartoon Baby in a Cartoon Construction Site, and people like her more than the other members of the Final 3. This has happened before, so let’s call this Fabio upside.
Sit-Out Bench Gracers (Cytherea the First, Dulcinea Septimus)
These two have more or less identical early games, and only slight divergences in the late game. In the early game, they’re massively endangered due to, you know, being  dying. Their hopes are twofold: #1, That the rest of their tribe can pull their weight, and they can be queen of the Sit-Out Bench; #2, that their social games are enough to protect them on likeability and they can shift the targets over. If that happens -- if they make it through the early game -- then they have a good shot at a deep run. They’re both likeable and cut-throat, a good combo... But then, do you want to go up against the inspirationally dying girl? Do you? You don’t, right? You cut that. I think Cytherea has a better survival rating than Dulcie, because being underestimated is Cytherea’s biggest skill, I think.
But let’s say they make it to the end-game: then, Cytherea’s ability to be under-estimated becomes a detriment. You have to be able to sell your game. You have to be able to sell your game and be respected for it, and the person who gets in close with personal reliance and deep intimacy, and then slits your throat callously? The jury tends not to like that. That tends to piss them off. In that regard, Dulcie, who’s just more edgy and less likely to play it personal, has a better rate of winning. But these differences would play out only in the rather unlikely endgame. I’d rather see Dulcie, though; she’d give an amazing confessional. I get big Courtney Yates energy from her, a tiny skinny girl, 0 physical presence, but hell of a sass on her. (She’d probably be less mean than Courtney, but I’m just saying.)
Smart Mom and Mom-Adjacent People (Abigail Pent, Juno Zeta, Commander We Suffer, The Angel)
So, there’s some good long-term potential, very little win chance, and very, very good Early Boot chances here. This is where Mercymorn would fit if Mercymorn were capable of Chilling. Let’s get to explaining that mess of a set-up. There are two driving factors: We’re dealing primarily in this group with “older” (Survivor “old” runs from early 30s to anything else; the show skews young, on average) women or women-adjacent people who are very smart and not capable of disguising it. On average, they’re not very physically tough, which becomes a problem in the early game -- they just might not be enough in challenges early on. On the second level, being undisguisably smart and no-bullshit can become...A little bit threatening. A lot of smart older ladies smell the rats early -- and the rats freak out and take them out. Which is more or less what happened to Abigail Pent in canon, so that seems a likely fate for her in Survivor.
But lately, that type has done a lot better, which is fun and exciting, so let’s talk about the final danger: If they last to the end, people might not like it when “Mom” betrays them. They very well might undervalue her strategic chops if she stays in deep. Even if they did not come here to be “Mom,” they don’t want it, stop that. But how you are perceived in Survivor is more relevant to how the game plays out than who you are or what you do. Survivor is not a fair game, and the double wombo-combo of agism and sexism is ruthless. But man, when this type does really well, they are a delight: they can be chaotic, ruthless, canny, and just really gratifying to watch. We Suffer probably does the best on the grounds of not being a necromancer, and therefore, being physically the toughest -- she has the most Chaos Kass or Chrissy upside (both of whom were delightful, think that this trend is BULLHONKEY, and nevertheless failed to escape it.)
Slow Down, You Crazy Child (Isaac Tetteres)
Isaac is a funny one. He’s pretty OK, but I think the odds of him melting down in a paranoid and self-destructive spiral are very high. This could begin at any time, but ultimately means that when Isaac spots a big threat, or starts to feel like someone is coming for him, he will come at them so hard that it destroys anything he’s built. Which is a shame: he could build stuff. Observation is a valuable Survivor skill, and I think he’s not actively repellant, so he’d probably make some decent alliances early on. But if you act like everyone is out to get you, you’ll make people out to get to. And if you show your chops too early, you might just take out your target...And then get taken out yourself. This quality is one that makes him one of the types of players Nona needs a whole season of to win: he’d be one of that season’s better players, too. It’s just that the best that sort of disaster comedy season has is juuuust sharp enough to cut themselves.
There’s some sort of connecting thread between himself, Augustine, Naberius, and Ianthe, but their over-all outcomes become so different that it becomes hard to lump them together. But if I did, that type would be: Too Schemey. How good they are at the socializing, how likeable they can be, how concealing of their cunning, determines their fate.
The Meatshields (Gideon Nav, G1deon, Marta, Pro, Colum, Aiglamine if she’s not too old for it, Jeannemarie if she doesn’t get into too many fights, Ortus if he can get his act together.)
This is, of course, an enormous group. The basic thing prognosis is this: If you are physically strong, you will be valued in the early game, and viewed as possibly threatening as a challenge threat in the middle of the game around the top of the merge. Even though, basically, if what you’re primarily delivering on is raw strength, the challenges really stop being geared that way. Survivor individual challenges are a lot more endurance, balance, and puzzle-based. People will still target those they perceive as threatening...And most of the people in this group do not have the ability to avoid that, so they’d probably all go in the early to mid merge. This bundle are not strategically very dynamic, though some of them -- Gideon, I mean Gideon -- are at least socially engaging. But the rest of them, except Jeanne, really wish this was about surviving, and not about people. It’s not, though!
Gideon has the upside of being very likeable, but you have to be way more clued-in, and willing to use those clues, to fare really well. But she gives a FANTASTIC confessional, which makes her a delight to have. She’d get asked back, but Survivor still resents you skipping Leg Day. Her namesake, not so much -- but if Gideon Nav improbably makes it to the end, she could win. Her namesake, though...  if he’s lucky, someone picks him up as a loyal #2, and he gets voted out to weaken them or dragged to the end as a dead fish, setting his leader up for an easy win. 0% chance of winning. The rest would be loyal enough to be good allies, except Jeanne-Marie, who might be loyal, but could be a bit too much of a firecracker (though that makes her a good person to take to the end) ...But they’re all too honorable to wriggle out of trouble, and not strategic enough to take out bigger threats, so win odds are low.
The Godfathers (Commander Wake, Hot Sauce)
I think that they both operate on Having a Gang. If they have a Gang that they can be absolute ruler of -- and, given people, they will seek to become absolute ruler of -- and can dominate its comings and goings, it will become a thing of iron, and if it has the numerical superiority, they will march the Gang to the End and crush the other alliance/tribe/whatever. What if Boston Rob really, really hated necromancers? What if Boston Rob were a 14-year old girl?
Forced into a situation where her numbers are inferior or her tribemates resent the idea of being controlled, Wake has far and away the better odds compared to Hot Sauce, but she’s still more likely to go scorched earth and hopes to ride the chaos. Which...rarely works, honestly. I think Hot Sauce would have a harder time, being younger and all. They both have an incredible charisma and force of will which will hopefully get them their Gang, but Wake’s edges are harsher, while Hot Sauce is more withdrawn. Both are under considerable threat, playstyle-wise, of the whole premise of The Gang just not working with the cast around them. Like, most people don’t really like the idea that they are not allowed to have independent strategies in a strategy game. Their approach is more or less a high-risk, high-reward one. It fails at inflection points: the start of the game, the swaps, the merges, where they’re capable of being outnumbered or outgunned or overthrown. Wake probably has a better sense of who to take to the End Game than Hot Sauce, but that’s down to not being 14.
The Dads (Magnus Quinn, John Gaius)
These two technically have very different fates, but I thought their superficial approach would be alike enough. Both are reasonably physically competent mature men who are approachable, sociable, and not obvious about taking charge. They’re charming, reliable, and competent without being overwhelmingly so, which gives them good odds. But Magnus isn’t cutthroat, isn’t deceptive. This makes me think he’d go through the tribal stage, and he’d do well -- but when the time comes for his alliance to cannibalize itself, he won’t be long left, so he’s in The Zone, but loosely, 12-5 or so. Magnus is a great guy to have in your alliance, though, and a really great guy to have in your cast. He’d get an invite back and he’d do exactly the same, but we were expecting him to be delightful, not successful. He probably makes the DVD cover, so good for him!
John is deceptive, and he’s never as sentimental as he looks. His best-case scenario is that he activates his manipulation skills, plays innocent, finds someone worse to stand beside, and he is the coolest man on the ice. His worst-case scenario is that he makes a plan, over-reaches, and bungles it, perhaps melting down in a “who voted for me???!!” paranoid spiral, and does not understand why people do not want him to win. I’m not sure which I find more likely, but either could happen, and at just about any time. Winning is possible for John Gaius, unfortunately. 
The Grand Vizier Probably Eats Brunch (Augustine the First)
I think Augustine maybe could win. I think it’s not a sure bet, but sometimes, you just have to be just charming enough, just good enough at pretending you care, just clever enough, without being any of those things too much. I think Augustine is good enough at playing second fiddle who turns around and tries to murder you that it will serve him well. That’s a winning role in Survivor. I could also see him on the losing side of the post-merge dynamics -- in which case, he’d go somewhere in the 10-7 zone, but outside of that scenario, I think you can pencil Augustine in for any point between Final 8 and Victory, Inclusive. 
Too Dangerous To Live (Coronabeth Tridentarius, Palamedes Sextus, Camilla Hect)
All of these are people who I think could do very well at Survivor, except for the part where there is really no disguising how well they could do at Survivor. They will probably be valued members of their tribes and alliances, in the hub of things, making moves and doing great! Until everyone looks towards the end-game, and what do they see? This is the longest write-up, because each of them is a different picture of a great Survivor player in their field.
They see that Palamedes is crazy smart and has about 35 million scenarios for the endgame planned out. He can probably solve any puzzle put in front of him in, like, 3 seconds. He’s quite likeable most of the time, a good dude, and undeniably respectable as a strategic force in the game. He’d murder a final tribal speech.  He runs the slight risk of being the sort of high-strung nerd who goes home early, but I think he can avoid it. He’s less likely to avoid being a high-strung nerd who gets voted out late.  He’s a season’s fallen angel, the person who played brilliantly but fell short. Unless a miracle happened, but I think he’s in the Christian Hubicki slot; everyone’s gonna love this nerd, which is part of his problem. Some of the fandom will absolutely love him. They will be right, and not joyless reddit husks.  
They see that Camilla is, for all she’s a little quiet and anti-social, a formidable challenge beast. She can do everything a Survivor individual challenge is likely to expect of you: she could throw beanbags at things, she could walk on balance-beams, she could endure in weird postures, she can solve a puzzle at the end. And she’s got a very strong strategic sense and understanding of the game rules, fully capable of recognizing who the threats are and who’s working against her and so on. She can find idols like she’s pulling them out of a pocket. I think she’d be the worst of this bunch at selling her game at the end, and the worst at convincing people to not target her now, but there’s a chance it works for itself.
They’d see Coronabeth. Who is Coronabeth, and is almost, very nearly, the perfect Survivor player: endlessly charming, endlessly charming, percieved as fantastic by all who survey her. Every move gets credited to her, even the ones she had nothing to do with. But she probably has a lot to do with a lot of them, because she is also rather cunning in the way a social-strategy game like Survivor is concerned with. And she is physically capable enough to win some immunities. Coronabeth could win Survivor by just standing there.
And the entire rest of the cast would go, “Huh, that’s a problem for me, because I would like to win Survivor.  That is what Survivor is about, winning Survivor. And they could definitely stop literally all of us from winning Survivor.” And then the threat singularity would begin, and everyone’s mission would be to Get Out The Biggest Threat. Now, any of these people could go a few rounds on immunities or idols or stupid tribemates -- Corona gets the most out of stupid tribemates and the least out of idols because she’s less good at those -- but it’d be risky. They’d be sprinting through fire, scrambling from tribal council to tribal council like they’re walking on a tight-rope. Which makes a great show for the jury, which makes them more likely to win, which makes them more threatening, lather, rinse, repeat. The luck is, more likely than not, going to run out at some point. It will most likely run out somewhere between the final 7 and the Final 4, with 5 as a very likely point: last call before it’s too late to stop them, oh god, somebody, please stop them!
Funnily enough, I think a Blood Vs Water with Palamedes and Camilla dampens both of their chances, because they can’t protect them both. A Blood vs Water with a Redemption Island twist, where someone who can do well at challenges can come back, though... Then he and Camilla would absolutely wreck shop if she gets voted out early, hiding his threat level a bit, and then she wins her way back at the final hour, and then they are an Unstoppable Survivor Machine. Let’s call this the Paul Scenario.
Almost Perfect, Except For the Glaring Part Where She’s Ianthe (Ianthe Tridentarius)
Ianthe is almost a great Survivor player, if only she weren’t...Ianthe about it. She seems to be aware enough that you have to charm people to at least make an attempt. And she’s clever and cutthroat. But...Would it be enough to overcome... Ianthe? And, if so, then what? Could someone willingly vote for Ianthe to win a million dollars? Could someone Ianthe has backstabbed turn around and applaud her? I think Ianthe would gloat too much, honestly, and that would end up making people turn away from respecting her game. She is her own worst enemy. I think she makes it pretty far, though -- and either gets taken out for being too schemey, or she stays and is a 0 vote finalist... But maybe, just maybe, she’d have a shot.
Here is what her shot looks like: She needs a Coronabeth. She needs someone who is attention-drawing that she can pair up with and hide her threat level behind. Unlike actually playing with Coronabeth, though, she’d need to get that person to about the 5-6 remaining point and then take her out... after lining up a collection of saps who absolutely could not get more than a few anti-Ianthe votes, and those guys take her to the final 3. Like, say, Babs. Everyone hates voting for Ianthe, but they just can’t vote for those other guys, because in some way, they are worse. That’s what an Ianthe win looks like. Missing any of those elements means that Ianthe probably falls just short of a win.
Mr 0 Votes (Naberius Tern)
Oh, hey. It’s the guy Ianthe needs to take to the end. He is his own special sort of disaster: he’s the perfect goat, his own worst enemy. No one’s going to vote for Naberius to win. In general, he strikes me as the exact sort of player that could lead to a Nona win if there were enough of him in a season: he’s smart enough to know how to strategize, but not so smart and not so charming that he wouldn’t overplay, and not nearly subtle enough. He thinks he’s a strategic mastermind, he probably has a confessional or three about how he’s the one controlling this game. He isn’t. He could really go at any point in the game, honestly. If he goes early, it’s because he’s a slimy, whiny twerp who overplayed his hand and overestimated himself; if he goes at top of the merge, it’s because he’s a big physical threat. After that, though... He probably doesn’t go home in the 8-4 zone, not if anyone can help it. He’s the perfect losing finalist,  you want to take him to the end no matter who you are. Unless he’s not your sacrificial goat, or unless there’s no better targets vulnerable. Then he goes. No one’s sad about it.
THE WINNER, GENTLEFOLK! (Pyrrha Dve) 
Bow down before your new Survivor God. Pyrrha is really, really, really good at Survivor. She is probably the single best Survivor player of the cast, prove me wrong. A huge part of that is that she’s capable of lying low, in addition to being charming, a great liar, cut-throat, cunning, and physically capable. I think she is capable of taking a season of Survivor and ruling it in a way which is so low-key and so complete that she makes a really boring Survivor season, because she’d crush all the life out of it. They might want to take her out every week, but they can’t -- but next week! But no, not this week, either. And so on. Pyrrha’s said all these things, but really, she’s in with them, right? They need her. They can’t get rid of her now. And the chance slips away... Things could break badly for her, but she would need some bad luck to not charm her way, subtle and powerful, to the win.

“Why do you keep watching the show if you hate it so much?”
Not publishing one of the asks because I’m not rewarding the bad behavior lmao but this is such a consistent refrain for me (still!) in asks AND reblogs AND comments etc and I’m gonna get real with you in hopes people chill out (not just in my inbox but in others), because last time I answered one of these it did slow for a while. This is going to be my don’t make me point to the sign post, I’m not going to talk about it again but I will likely reblog when it comes up.
I’m a nurse and I worked through the worst of covid. I’m not going to get into the details of that because ifykyk and if you don’t I can’t begin to describe how fucking horror movie trauma fest it was. Take whatever you’re imagining and multiply it by a hundred. I was working constantly in horrific conditions being retraumatized daily and having no way to deal with it AT ALL. I’ve had addiction issues in the past. I started smoking again. I could feel other shit trying to creep it’s way in.
Enter: yellowjackets. I hadn’t hyperfixated on a show or movie or book in years (since childhood really) but it CLICKED into place for me. So this show (plus writing for it—learning to write, having something to think about that was creative and not destructive because when you’re surrounded by death you start to feel destructive, practicing hours and hours a week) actually stepped in and took that place. I even stopped smoking cigarettes eventually.
Then my other favorite comes in: “actually you can enjoy things more if you stop obsessing over them”
I have adhd. My brain goes HARD. That’s literally NOT how my brain works. I LIKE obsessing over details. I don’t CARE if it’s meaning making from nothing. I intellectually UNDERSTAND when it is. I interact with the world this way. I promise you that I know the limitations, but I also promise you that it doesn’t ACTUALLY make my experience negative. I don’t think having critiques of things I’m obsessed with hurts my experience and quite honestly, I don’t have a BRAIN that has EVER allowed me to not think critically and analytically about ANYTHING. So I don’t know what I’m missing out on and I can’t just make myself experience it lmao like this is who I am! I’m used to operating this way and it’s my only setting tbh.
I DONT hate the show. I LOVE it. Like so very fucking much. I see a stark difference between s1 and s2, I personally liked the things in s1 that are not present in s2 more, I personally hope that s3 ties in some of the old theme, vibes, editing styles, and narrative build of s1. You do not have to agree, you can think they’re the exact same or even that s2 is 100x better. But I’m probably going to continue being hyperfixated on this show. I’m going to continue caring deeply. I’m going to continue analyzing deeply.
Is that healthy? I don’t care! I would rather be addicted to a tv show and writing about my little lesbians than actual substances! It positively impacts my life, even if I’m feeling a lot of disappointment right now. I’m upset because I care, I care because that’s how my brain is hardwired, and I wouldn’t want to change that if I tried because this show and learning to write and actually sticking to a healthy hobby for once in my life is really fucking amazing to me.
If you don’t like ever seeing any criticism of this show, I would invite you to ask yourself why it upsets you so much that you need to try and push someone into leaving their own space. If nothing comes to your mind or your heart or you simply don’t want to reflect, block my fucking blog. It’s a fucking button. Press it. You’re not going to make me shut up lmao trust me, I don’t function like that <3

Can. can you. can you.. seek x figure headcannons if you. if you may…..
Yes tumblr sexyman Seek helps me get those followers and also I have brain worms about this pair.
Seek x Figure Headcanons.
POWER 👏 COUPLE 👏
I have multiple backstories for em because there’s various flavors of seek and figure but they all love eachother so dearly.
Seek literally calls it “Dearest figure” “Figure beloved”
Figure calls Seek either “Goopy” or “squishy”
“Seeky..” ,,,
One of Figure’s favorite things about Seek is how quiet it’s body is. No screeching or yelling.. just dripping and oozing..
Sometimes it uses Seek as a pillow..allowing its head and ear-holes to sink in so it can deprive itself of all the sounds..
That and its voice,,,,,cascading and resonating like ripples on water in it’s head.
One of Seek’s favorite things about Fig is It’s heartbeat. Seek loves to crawl up its chest and listen to it. The welcoming warmth of it’s ribs..
Figure has long arms and yes they are used for holding Seek in them and IN TURN Seek will use all them hands to give Figure a thousand pets from all angles.
Seek can literally give Figure a thousand kisses. Figure’s livin the dream.
Also Seek loves to coo over the bits of lichen that grows on Figure. Occasionally they grow small white flowers every once in awhile and it steals Seek’s heart away.
“Dearest, your blooming again.” “I am? :0”
Self care is figure sprinkling bits of bone dust on them so the flowers stay healthy.
OH BTW SEEK IS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT FIGURE HOW TO BREAK THE CHAINS FROM THE CRUCIFIX.
 Seek will act as Figure’s eyes sometimes. Especially when they hunt together. Gods forbid when they do because they are unstoppable side by side.
Seek is actually quite sensitive to touch, so no Figure does not chew/bite on Seek as a stim but rather it gives Figure a bone to chew while Seek talks about an interesting thing it found on an intruder.
Figure often takes advantage of the touch thing and occasionally trills into Seek to make nice vibrating little ripples that feel like a back rub.
Occasionally (Infact seek does this Y/N fics too..) parts of Seek will cling to figure’s arms and legs so it can be with it at all times.
Fun fact, Seek used to do the “climb into Figure’s mouth thing” until one day Fig’s gag reflex was triggered and it got vomited out.
…True love conquers all..?
Now Seek prefers to wrap itself around it’s arms, chest and torso/legs or cling itself between Fig’s ribs like cobweb.
Still, Figure enjoys Seek being on it’s body and Seek enjoys being with Fig. If they could they’d be sharing one body for eternity but unfortunately they need to go and e a t.
Figure loves to listen while Seek just chats about all sorts of things. Occasionally being infodumped on by Figure when it ends ups bringing up the exact thing Figure is currently hyperfixated on.
Seek loves to wear tuxedos/jackets. Make itself look fancy even though it’s partner can’t see. Figure still compliments it.
The two drink wine from the basement and read books together for dates or chill out in the courtyard.
I like to imagine that Figure occasionally “Sees” seek by touching its humanoid body an idea of what they are lookin at. Now imagine it touches its face one day and Seek puts a hand on figures hand or face it’s just-aaaa!
I like to think they have children!!! However Seek keeps them hidden in different closets/attics until they can hunt on their own.
Screech is their child and possibly snare + the new purpleish entity that El-goblino mentioned.
Screech got the C H O M P and those are just baby teeth, the real sharp teeth have yet to grow in. That or it just has flat teeth.
Snare had the sharp teeth at birth..it’s also got one of Seek’s eyes and Figure’s mossy bits. You don’t really see the eye that often..
The mystery entity got the pinkish parts from figure + The eyes from Seek.
Both of them adore the litter of trash rats they have created.
:) enjoy

okay so ... hi friends. i am here to make a post that isn't ... the most fun post, but also is - it depends on how you look at it? so, i did indeed go ahead & do what i mentioned in a post i made last might. i made a multimuse blog for an incredibly niche fandom. the now you see me movies. i legit stayed up all night making this blog but we won't talk about that shhh. the blog can be found here @lessycusee
now ... with this being said, i think i'm making a decision. & that is - this blog is going to be going on semi hiatus for a bit & i'm going to be spending most of my time on the other blog. the thing is, i've just been feeling incredibly overwhelmed on here & i've really been struggling with muse. i just - genuinely think i need to take a break, step back a little & focus on a new blog. these muses are very huge comfort characters/muses for me, the franchise is as a whole. & with @wintersreplies & i writing them together again, my hyperfixation is coming back. so - i kind of just want to focus there for a bit. like this blog is gonna bring the serotonins & make me happy. so yeah, i dunno. i just need to chill in a place where i really feel like i'm gonna vibe. my muse for those guys is incredibly high, i've put more work into that blog than i've put into any blog in a long time. i made my own graphics!
anyways, anyways. so yeah, i'm just gonna be taking a break from here. i say semi hiatus because i might pop back onto here & do things occasionally when i get muse & such. but for the most part i will be on the horsemen's blog. i am going to get a proper promo out tomorrow & will update my pinned post to reflect this info. please feel free to come follow me on the horsemen's blog, because i really would love to still interact with all of you! i love you all so very much, mwah mwah <3

hey buddy what’s this batfam getting dropped into pnf fic idea?
This is fully a crack idea formed in my head because I dared to rewatch pnf while hyperfixating and remembered how much I thought the pnf marvel crossover was meh
Anyways
We start with the batfamily somehow getting transported into the pnf universe (idk how. Maybe it was a piece of technology from a mission. Maybe Phineas and Ferb are messing with the laws of physics again. Pick your favorite)
They get dropped in random places and only like half the bats are in uniform
So Bruce gets dropped in the platy-cave (I am fully convinced that’s what it’s called) right before Perry gets his mission for the day
Dick (and maybe Babs?) gets dropped in whatever room in owca Monogram and Carl film in
Jason gets dropped at Doofenshmirtz’s but only Vanessa is home
Cass is dropped of at Stacy’s
Alfred, Steph, Tim, Damian, and Duke are left in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard
The bats use their comms to coordinate a meeting place after Bruce and Dick talk to Monogram and he agrees to use owca’s resources to get them home (again idk how but it’ll be at the end of the day)
Bruce is sent on Perry’s mission with him because owca considers his bat motif enough to count him as an animal agent amd Bruce will never turn down a chance to learn new skills even if it’s from a platypus
Dick stays behind at owca to chill and help out but then he mentions he’s a former acrobat and Monogram takes him to the company gymnastics gym to teach him things since Monty refuses to do acrobat stuff anymore (this is the part where Babs and Carl would take over the getting the bats home project and bond over being techie red heads)
Vanessa invites Jason to go with her to meet with her friends and boyfriend and Jason’s just like “sure. why not.” (Idk how old he is in this yet but he’s older than her and being used to Gotham is like these kiddos could use some supervision)
Vanessa ends up meeting up with Candace, Jeremy, Stacy, and Monty
Candace has brought Steph (more like Steph dragged Candace away from what the boys were doing but shhhh) and Stacy has brought Cass (Stacy just thinks Cass is a new random friend she’s met while Vanessa and Candace are very sure that Jason and Steph aren’t from the pnf universe)
Cue Jason Steph and Cass doing the Spider-Man pointing meme
Tim, Damian, and Duke get wrapped up in whatever Phineas and Ferb are doing that day (idk what insert your favorite invention and inator pairing here)
Buford is stunned that this new nerd (Tim) is also able to beat people up
Damian is fascinated by the competency and skills of the fireside girls
Duke’s just along for the ride tbh
Doofenshmirtz is surprised when Perry had brought a very punchy friend
Perry basically has to walk Bruce through the procedure (cue platypus expressions for “yes I know we can both break out of these traps almost instantly, and yes his idea is dumb as shit and not really criminal, but the point is to let him talk through his trauma”)
Also Alfred is talking British things and antiques with Lawrence and Linda
Eventually the day goes as predictably as you would expect from a pnf day at which point the bats all sort of reunite at owca headquarters and go home and wonder what the fuck that universe even was

foof. typing this out on tumblr because it feels easier to collect my thoughts here rather than twitter, lmfao, but MAN my creative well is bone dry rn, i feel like i have zero energy and motivation to work on projects and i just. it's driving me crazy lmfao, and in the back of my mind i know i'm burnt out and need a break, but it's so hard to take a break, because like, i don't have much else going on in my life rn, or ever, like fandom has always been a huge, important part of my life and i don't rly know what to do or who i am if im not obsessed over SOMETHING lmfao. my gf said last night something like, i guess it's hard to take a break when it's related to a hyperfixation/special interest and like!! yeah!! it's rly hard to untangle all of that!
but. idk. i don't feel happy rn with a lot of things irl and online, and i know i need to rest and do nothing and let the well fill up again but that also scares me? so i am just going to try to ease up on myself a little bit, try to go more than a day without feeling compelled to post something new just because i'm afraid ppl will leave or forget me or something if i don't constantly pump out Content. and i know i did this to myself, lmfao, i rly don't know how to do things in moderation and this is a constant cycle of going too hard and then abruptly losing all interest
my gf sent me this last night and even the first paragraph got me!!! like, that's ME!!!
Tumblr media
i am in the reluctant admission stage rn lmfao.
i am not going to say i am completely going to stop creating during this time, because that would be a lie, but i am rly going to try and chill tf out, stop worrying about getting fics done in time for mermay, and just kinda try to recharge. and i don't wanna say this is a firm break or whatever because when i inevitably fail at taking a break, i will end up beating up on myself, so im just gonna say i am gonna try to be like...... idk, creative Lite or something for a little bit.
im still gonna be around every day lmfao, but probably for less time than usual. i'm still gonna reblog/retweet things, and i'll probably have some original stuff as well, but i am not gonna keep holding myself to the impossible standard of having something new every day. and i know no one else expects that of me!!! but i have somehow put that expectation on myself. i can use this time to share some old favorites again instead!!
i just started a new game+ in coral island, so ive got that going for me, lmfao, and it's getting nicer outside finally and i rly truly need to touch grass more often!! idk why i always feel like i need a huge explanation for what i do, and it probably wont even be super noticeable to most ppl lol, but!! idk. sometimes i just need to work things out this way.
so, i am releasing myself of the burden of having some fics done for mermay, and posting daily, and feeling like i have to make tangible progress on creative projects on the regular. or, that is my goal, at any rate. i think i'll just focus on gifs/still shots for mermay, my fics will be ready when they are ready 😤 but even if i don't do that much, it's okay!!! mermaids are good any time of the year imho.
i just need to get to a point where i actually Enjoy the process of creating again, because it feels like a chore rn and i hate that :((((
idk, anyway if u read all this thank u, thank u for following me and liking what i do, here is an old gif for ur troubles

it’s that time again!
i’m going to talk about my roman disneyland special interest headcanons + autism one. because. yes.
y’all can blame @oatmeal-stans-the-trash-rat for this they asked for more.
this is pure hyperfixation on my end and i am projecting. so. yeah.
he can and will tell you random disneyland trivia, but it’s often unprompted.
every time he does his makeup his goal is always to look like a disney princess.
he has converse painted to look like each of the disney princes.
has made power points about the best disney couples.
when he gets over stimulated he needs music and a blanket and the lady plush i mentioned previously. other wise he will have a meltdown.
virgil is always there when roman gets overstimulated and will lie on top of him. he also always knows where roman’s headphones are located.
logan worries a lot about roman getting hyperfixated on something and forgetting to eat or just forgetting to take care of himself so logan will often go and remind him to do things or brings him food.
all of roman’s comfort food remind him of disney and/or disneyland.
he doesn’t like most of the live action movies because they feel off to him. (he did like cinderella and the little mermaid.) (he hates live action beauty and the beast)
he lives life through disney advice, but he also feels he has to live by their definition of good and bad which puts a lot of pressure on him to be “good”. this is also the reason he struggles to accept the other sides.
he is sometimes nonverbal and often times virgil or logan will plop him on the couch and they will watch his favorite disney movies. (he usually ends up nonverbal out of stress so this is a way to chill him out.)
he is super empathetic and he cries often over inanimate objects or tv characters.
he loves schedules when he goes to disney and if they get messed up it stresses him out often.
i’m sure i have more but for now. thank you for listening. i’m trying to live up to my user.

My problem is this-
Baldurs gate 3 looks rad and I'm already in love with astarion, but I don't have the proper gaming tools (or the money tbh) to play. I WANNA KISS THE MANS AND BE A FUNKY LITTLE GUY
I literally know nothing about the plot. I like to believe I can fuck around with idk flowers and astarion? I know that's not how it works but I WISH
also from one former HL creator to the another, I totally get it. I abandoned my old blog because I wanted to cry at the mere thought of that fandom. Not because I hated it, I just...was over it? I don't know. But you're not alone is what I'm trying to say. And it gets better!
I never responded to your response about my marvolo ask lol. I wanted to thank you for being so nice to me. I was genuinely curious and was TERRIFIED it would come off as passive aggressive. So I thank you for being kind. Why am I writing this? I don't know. It's 2 am where I'm at and I just wanted to say you're awesome (even if I never interact-) and I'm HERE for your BG3 content even if I have no fucking idea what it is other than pretty man
I really hope you get to play it one day 🙂
Well you can certainly "fuck" around with Astarion as part of the story, I can tell you that haha 🤣
Yeeeah it is what it is, I was PROPER devastated when I realised my love for it had died, because it had brought me alot of happiness during a dark time, but I just didn't enjoy using those characters in content anymore, I'd fallen off the Sebastian bandwagon like 2 fuckin months ago, and was using him less and less over time, and I found myself writing Marvolo content more than I was writing HL content and people started to notice, but I carried on even though I knew I didn't fuck with HL anymore, because I was just holding onto it, and yeah the day I officially left the fandom as a creator for it was fuckin horrible, dude. I didn't know what to do with myself, but there was no way I was staying when I wasn't happy doing content, and I felt like I had to announce that too and just be totally honest with my following about my mental health, because I really be out here struggling with it, comes in waves and makes me manic, and I always NEED something to focus on and hyperfixate on because it helps me TREMENDOUSLY. I'd rather do that than go on pills that will make me an empty shell zombie of a person, and thank you.
Regarding that Marvolo ask you sent me a while back, I DID see it as passive aggressive, can't lie 🤣 but you caught me on a good day, so luckily I wasn't a c*nt to you lol, it's all good though! don't worry! I get it!! And I feel now, even more so, with me being so open about my development of him and my thoughts, people have a little bit more or an understanding of WHY I personally love him so much, and I still do, but again, that doesn't mean everyone has to, it's fine, but I'm glad he was/is appreciated by others too, that was always a bonus 💚🐍
Yeah I'm really loving BG3, so I definitely want to do more content for it, I'm just trying to be in my chill mindset currently 🙂 putting out little things when I have an idea and what not, I'm just taking my time. 😁
Thanks again for dropping in 🤍

Say, hey there! 🦈
21 y/o they/them here, hoping for 18+ partners.
With Tears Of The Kingdom almost upon us, my Breath Of The Wild hyperfixation is returning, too, and so I’m looking for smutty, porn with a little bit of plot, horny in a loving way type of SidLink roleplays. When I say a little bit, I mean about a 70/30 ratio of smut to plot, but I don’t want to disregard the plot completely. Give me allll the angst and fluff and drama, please!
I have some ideas for said plot, but they’re very loose, and I would love to brainstorm together and come up with something we’re both excited about. Ideally something post-BOTW, but I’m open to almost anything! I can write for either character, but have a bit more experience writing as Sidon. No strong preferences though, I’m happy to roll with whatever.
And speaking of being open to things 👀 when it comes to the smut part, some kinks I enjoy and would not be opposed to incorporate are: D/S themes (preferably dom Sidon and sub Link) Size kink Praise kink Mpreg/oviposition/breeding A/B/O Sidon being, uhm, doubly endowed Idk man just the very specific scenario of normally sunny, happy, proper Sidon holding back from going all feral when he’s horny because he’s worried he might get too rough w/ Link and Link just sitting there like “joke’s on you, I’m into that.” I want that twink obliterated.
Let’s be pals ooc, send each other moodboards and memes and cool art, yk? (And also be thirsty bitches together lmao.) I use Discord exclusively, and I’m semi-lit to advanced lit, with an average length of about 2 – 4 paragraphs, though I can absolutely write more than that if required and if I have enough to work with. Overall, I’m pretty chill and very patient, so no worries if you are inactive for a few days, weeks or even months. You could not reply for a full year and I would probably still be up for continuing our rp. That being said, I do have ADHD and am unmedicated, so if I randomly disappear, please reach out again, I promise I didn’t intend to ghost you, my brain gremlins just took over.
If after all this barely coherent rambling you’re still interested, please like this and I’ll reach out to you!
Leave a like, and anon will get back to you!

Hi, when you get the chance I would love a romantic Overwatch matchup!
I go by they/them but I'm pronoun apathetic with a dislike for feminine terms, omnisexual with a preference for more masculine presenting people
I can be pretty chill but I have severe ADHD and all those not so fun little quirks, once I am passionate about something I am deep in that interest for a while, I'm the therapist friend but I would really like someone to comfort me after everything is said and done, a lot of self doubt but to others I seen pretty confident and outgoing, I'm often found listening to music (I'm all over the place with genres so here's my playlist if you'd like to take a look💕 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4jN2o9ifTehuehJHauYgIg?si=Lw70wjgOQ4-HTlVOLIcK4A&utm_source=copy-link ) , I'm very clingy and physically affectionate but I also love giving thoughtful gifts that are handmade most of the time cause I love crafts and little projects.
If you have the time it be really cool if you could make a mini fic for my matchup
Thanks again for letting me know requests were open!
omg hi!!!! im so glad you could get a request in and of course!! i really wanted you to get your matchup in here because i never get overwatch requests lol. I think I have a great character for you though it took a lot of deciding lmaooo
the character I chose for you is...
TRACER!!
Tumblr media
you both have almost the same energy, however, she is a little more hype
you both have ADHD (at least im pretty sure she does, i dont know if it was confirmed though) and are able to relate and actually help each other when things get really rough
she presents herself in a very masculine way through her outfits and hair, so I thought it would be perfect!
she loves to listen to you when you get hyperfixated on something
literally had heart eyes when you start going on and on about something you love
she will go to you for comfort when she is feeling down or just outright exhausted, but she will 100% be there for you too listening to everything you need to tell her
she will hype you up all the time telling you how good you look or how amazing you are and it makes you blush and makes you 10x more confident
if you make her a handmade gift, she will cry because it means so much to her
please be clingy because she's the same way and you two will literally be hugging everywhere lmao
just know that she loves you and will care for you all the time
and per your request, here is a little fic :)
MINI FIC
"I'm tired," you heard Tracer's iconic British accent as she walked into the room, her hair a complete mess. "y/n, hold me."
She blipped over to you and fell into your arms as you giggled, falling on the couch behind you. "Tracer, babe, you could give me some warning next time before you teleport into my arms." But you hugged her anyway, pulling her closer into your lap. "Long day, babe?"
Tracer just nodded into your chest, holding you close like you could run off at any second. "Tired."
Her voice was muffled in your chest, so you just ran your fingers in her hair, feeling her fall asleep.
"I love you, Tracer." You said under your breath, kissing her on the forehead.
"Love you too." Tracer's sleepy voice said, her eyes still closed with a smile.

A Song of Dreamers - (Prologue)
Hey, It’s been awhile. I know that a lot of you follow me for Outlander content and Outlander fanfiction, but honestly my head hasn’t been there for awhile. I do miss all of the fics I had ongoing for that fandom, but it just doesn’t hold the same space in my heart as it used to. Hopefully, one day I will come back to writing those fics, but for now I’m moving on from it.
For the past few years, I’ve been heavily hyperfixating on ASoIaF and the universe that George RR Martin has created, especially Daenerys Targaryen and House Targaryen. I can’t count the number of other fics I’ve read, art I’ve seen, and people I’ve interacted with in this fandom. I’ve done and still do A LOT of ASoIaF RP on Discord and that’s where all of my writing has been. And now with House of the Dragon out, that obsession has only increased. So, writing a fanfic for this fandom and this universe has been something I’ve wanted to do for a few years now, especially for Robb and Daenerys (because I ship them even though I know they’re a super rare pair and it’ll never happen in canon, I think they’d be great for each other, idc.) I still have absolutely NO IDEA where I am going to go with this fic, but I’ll figure it out as I go along, hopefully.
So, without further ado, I hope you all enjoy the read :)
(BTW, I haven’t really been active on tumblr at all lately, but I’m super active on Twitter if anyone wants to follow me over there! I post art there too! Check it out here) ≪ ◦ ❖ ◦ ≫
Daenerys wants nothing more than to go home. Sometimes, she imagines what Dragonstone is like, remembers the tales her brother told her of the place she was born that she could not ever hope to remember. A place where dragons had hatched and lived and died. Where her ancestors came before the Doom of Valyria and made their home before Aegon and his sisters looked west and conquered the Seven Kingdoms. Before they built the Red Keep in King’s Landing at the mouth of Blackwater Bay and ruled for nearly three centuries. Yet Dragonstone had never been home to her, not really – despite how much she tried to cling to the idea of that being true.
Before, home to her had always been the house in Braavos with the red door and the lemon tree outside her window. Of evenings spent looking out at the sea and the breeze carding through her hair. Of Viserys spinning tales of home and comforting her when she had bad dreams before he had gone mad.
Yet when Dany dreams she does not see the house with the red door or her lemon tree. She does not see the black sand beaches or the smoking Dragonmont on Dragonstone. She doesn't even see the tall grasses of the Dothraki sea. No, when Dany dreams she is transported to another world altogether: a land of hills and moors covered in white with a gray sky above it. She dreams of tall trees with leaves like needles, of a chill in the air that nips at her skin despite her heat – and the only sound that can be heard is the howling of wolves. And for some reason, this strange place felt more like home to her than the house with the red door and her lemon tree ever had. ≪ ◦ ❖ ◦ ≫
Robb wants nothing more than to go home. Back to Winterfell with its warm halls and familiar faces. Back to where everything was familiar and carefree and  safe.  He wants to leave this war that even though he is winning, the end of it seems to forever be just outside of his grasp. With each day that passes, he is unsure that he will ever get to see Winterfell again. Will never be able to visit the Godswood where his father would sit beneath the bone-white bark of the Weirwood tree and sharpen Ice. Where Grey Wind and the rest of the direwolves had raced and hunted and grew. Where he might never get to visit the crypts of the Lords and Kings of Winterfell that came before him – never get to see his father’s likeness carved among them.
He does not know if his brothers or Arya are alive, doesn’t know how much longer Sansa will be safe in the grasp of the Lannisters in King’s Landing. Yet when he dreams and finds himself looking at the world through Grey Wind’s eyes, sometimes he can still feel the pull of Summer and Shaggy Dog far off in the North, where Ghost is, too. There’s another wolf that is closer, whom he knows must be Nymeria. When he wakes, he tries to hold onto that feeling – convinces himself that if their wolves are out there, then Bran and Rickon and Arya are still alive, too –  somewhere, out of reach.
Sometimes when he dreams there’s something else too, something he cannot name or place. Something that smells of fire and ash and brimstone, of  heat.  He feels a pull towards that too, somewhere far off and across the sea to the east that is perhaps even stronger than that of the other direwolves. And when Robb wakes, the only word that he can put to that feeling that even comes close to describing it, is home.

i’m having a weird brain week
i’m gonna try and put it into words because i need to get whatever this feeling is off my chest somehow
but it feels like for the past week my head is like a watermelon with lots of rubber bands wrapped around it, and i’m on the precipice of total meltdown in the form of a messy explosion
i can’t concentrate on anything
my tinitus is rattling around in my brain on repeat and it keeps getting louder and more abnoxious the more i try and pretend its not there
my chest is so tight and my lungs are currently wheezing up a storm and no one actually knows what’s wrong with my chest and why i randomly wheeze at whatever time of the day for no particular reason because my chest is fine on all the scans but it’s actually not fine because why am i still wheezing
i try to read fanfic but i can’t see the words
i try to watch shows but i can’t hear the words
i want to go for a drive but i don’t want to drive without having a destination and fuck knows where i want to drive to
i want to leave the house and *do something* but the thought of leaving the house makes me want to cry because i don’t want to do it alone
and then comes the realisation that i don’t really have many *close* irl friends who i want to chill with because it’s all just surface level friendships because no one really knows me and the way i hyperfixate on certain things or shows or ships and sometimes that’s the only thing that makes me truly happy and when i do try and talk to my irl friends about it they listen without really listening or they try and indulge me without any real effort and it just makes me not want to talk to any of them about it because no one gets it or gets me
but even today my usual hyperfixations aren’t distracting enough to quiet my brain
so i’m endlessly scrolling on tiktok to try and fill the void that my usual media outlets aren’t quite hitting
i’m currently hyperfixating on RWARB content because it seems to be the only thing i can currently say i’m genuinely looking forward to but i’m also getting annoyed because it’s not here yet
it’s almost like i hit my peak (seeing my name on that big screen and everyone was saying how amazing it was and how proud they are of me) and i’m still trying to live off that high
but to go from that to now sitting alone in my room, unemployed again after losing my next big contract because of the strikes, strugging to find my next job because there is no work in my field, watching my barely even there to begin with savings dwindle away as bill after bill comes out but nothing is going in and that’s making me anxious as fuck but i’m also trying not to think about it because then i will have a breakdown and i can’t afford to have a breakdown because it won’t actually solve anything so i squash it at the back of my brain like the constant buzzing in my ears
i’ve applied for theatre job after theatre job, because its the only job i can think of off the top of my fuzzy head to apply for that would enjoy but also give the opportunity to be there short term and be flexible enough that if i was to find film/tv work i could plausibly do both
and i’m just kinda plodding along with the biggest fucking tension headache of my life that just won’t seem to quit and now i’m blurting about it on tumblr under a read more because what the fuck else am i going to do? be productive? pfft
