I love sashisu because they all very much love each other and are best friends but the shoko erasure is so blatant that it makes for a very interesting dynamic. Like yeah obviously she was part of everything that happened. Not that any of them would realise if you asked them though.

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!
#i think it's particularly maddening bc we have seen characters be able to understand civillian matt is like. more than just Blind Man.#i am always highly aware of period typical writing and can remember the context etc etc but sometimes.#sometimes it truly. truly does drive me up the wall. especially when other characters have been capable of not being That Level#of infantalizing. again foggy still isn't much better in a lot of respects he is just as capable of and has been as infantilizing#and insulting as karen has been. for sure. on multiple occassions. no questions asked. but i dont think he does it to the extent karen does#as in we dont see it on page just as much. it's just a bit less. so we see karen focus on it far more. to an almost exaggerated extent#part of that is the romance plot of ohhh i cannot possibly love a blind man while foggy is matt;s best friend of many years#so of course it will be in the way of the stan lee and old romance comics schools of writing that this goes down and is written like this.#of course we see her focus on it a touch more in a different way bc she's still getting to know matt and hasnt witnessed him#for about like a decade(? they met in undergrad right?) function on his own the way foggy has. but jesus christ man. good god.#at a certain point even with the period time context it does just still leave a bad taste. at certain points it becomes less eye roll#and far more maddening and hard to push down. bc it is gross. no matter what time period it is.#again. both of them are pretty disrespectful towards matt about it at this point even if mostly in their inner monologues or dialogues#with each other and not super to matt's face about it every time. but still. sometimes karen drives me far more crazy about it than foggy.#becase at least foggy can in fact recognize every now and then. matt is a perfectly capable grown man who can function and thrive.#and is someone who lives independently but also can know how to get assistance when needed.#while karen at this point has never really once given matt the benefit of that assumption despite witnessing his capabilities.#because even with his act of trying to fit the image ppl have of him. he still functions within that! and shows he can do things!#and ask for help when he needs it! even within his act of making himself smaller and quieter for others.#he's still like. adult man who lives his life. and does stuff on his own time.#i cant really speak about matt on any more deeper level than that in regards to his disabilities. i am not disabled.#i only speak as a reader and someone watching what these characters do and have proven to be able to do and how they act.#so i can only talk about karen and foggy's behaviors and attitudes in that regard.#and also as a person with like. basic understanding of other ppl living their lives. that all ppl live their own damn lives however it is#like most ppl on planet earth.#i apologize if any of my wording here is bad or if i dont talk on it well as none of this in the real world stuff is my lived experience#and you are free to go hey. incorrect. think about that or word that differently.#ok i promise im done now it's just. EUGH. UGH!!!!!#static.soundz

Hungarian village in Slovakia gothic
You know who most of the people are. They know who you are. Everyone is a stranger. Except the grandparents.
You see more and more strangers nowadays. You instinctually hate them. You don't know what they are doing in Your home and it bothers you. (it's your home, not theirs, even though you only spend your weekends there, now).
You know two languages by the time you're fourteen - you were taught to despise one and all those who speak it, that on some level they are your enemy, and anyways, they hate you so it's only fair (it wasn't by your teachers but everyone around you), and to love the other, that it is sacred and it is an unreplaceable part of your identity and that They will try to take it away from you. It is unclear who They are.
You grew up knowing that even though this is your home, it was-somehow-taken from you. It was over a hundred years ago. You have to mourn it. You have to. Even your grandparents weren't alive when it happened, but it has to hurt you the same way it hurt everyone then. Otherwise-do you really belong to us?
Behind the community centre are injection needles thrown everywhere. When you were eight, you saw someone sitting there, holding their arm. You didn't quite understand what was happening, but it scared you.
A few years later you can name those from your school who you know deal drugs. You know where they live. You pity them, but don't care much anymore.
Your classmates didn't like you much-but you didn't like them much either, so it was alright. You find out some time later that at least half of them are related to you.
There are statues of saints all over the village. You know what they stand for even though you were never taught about them. There is a Virgin Mary on a road in the middle of the fields. There's also one not far from your house. You hope they will protect you.
The language you speak has words in it that people from two villages over don't understand.
Your grandparents use words you don't understand.
There is a bog in your backyard. Well, more like a lake, but the reeds get closer every year.
The house is decorated with stuffed animal carcasses and deer skulls. Hunting is the only thing you've ever seen your grandfather really care about. You wonder if it has to do something with his military enlistment.
The only thing you ever wanted was to leave here - and it's like the Fields around the village can feel that. Every time you go there, you find something watching you. A hawk, a hare, deers, pheasants. They look directly at you. And don't move.
The Fields - long, empty pieces of land. You know the next village is only five kilometers away. You can't see it. In the summer, when the corn grows tall, it becomes like a wall all around. The canola flowers flood them twice a year - after you pass them, you can't really get the smell out of your nose. For a long while.
You're not fazed by the noise of shotguns - it is hunting season after all. It is always. Be careful when you go into the forest.
Your dad taught you how to shoot with an airgun at ten, for seemingly no reason. You have never been hunting. It's good to know how.
Someone is living in the forest. You've never seen them. Still, be careful. You can never be too careful.
Everyone calls it a forest, but really, it's just a couple of trees most likely planted less than fifty years ago to catch the wind. You can't exactly get lost in them, i mean, most of them are in orderly lines, grown to be cut down later. It's smaller every year.
You were raised to be cruel right from the start. You were praised for killing slugs and frogs and the animals that were unwanted.
You come home from school one day. There is a half-skinned rabbit hanging next to where you always put your bicycle. It will be finished later.
There are always new bones for the dog to chew on. Bigger. More bloody. It still kills the moles that are too slow.
You know the smell of raw meat. It is everywhere in the cellar. You also know how it smells when it's rotting.
There aren't many things to do, anywhere, without going to a city. Most people don't do that. After all, you can drink at home too. Or behind the community house. Or in the forest.
There was a murder a few years ago. You know the house where it happened, you passed it hundreds of times. When you go out with your friends, your mother tells you to be careful. Always more careful.
And don't you smile. You do not get to smile. You should always look at least emotionless. You should be miserable and bitter and pointless like the rest of us decent people
you do not get to remind us of everything we could have been, you have to rot away right here where you were born, you do not get to get out
..................
Come, have a beer. And a pálinka. And another. And another. Another

it just occured to me
the 1999 segment of witw is like a flashback right? to that exact moment in time from arthurs perspective. wallbrecht says we are already late
how do you think time works there relative to our own? is albrecht stuck in a timeloop like we were with duviri, reliving 1999 until we get there on time? is he long gone by the time the kalymos sequence kicks in here? do we have another paradox on our hands?
1999 cant come fast enough I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

21 and 39!
Thank you!!!
21. Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what's your secret?
Unless I have a word limit like for 1u I have never once in my life accurately predicted how long my fic will be. Every time I'm like this will be 2k :) it is 6k. Every time I'm like this will be 15k :) it is 7-8k. I DON'T know
39. Wildest AU scenario you have written?
Gosh I feel like I don't really write very wild AUs, I feel like it's all WWII or Urban Fantasy. Other-other Dallas was weird as hell and more speculative than fantasy in a way that was a lot of fun to do and no one ever asked me about it but the suggestion of Roope being some kind of godking-reality manipulator was intentional. I would love to write more sci-fi shit. I love urban fantasy so much but I feel like I'm neglecting aliens a little.
Thank you so much!!
#i had like. god i don't even know a 2k outline of a sci fi/dystopia au with nick suzuki/jason robertson based on the asg#but i didn't really know enough about either of them at the time to really make it sing#but everything i draft eventually gets recycled in some form so hopefully it makes an appearance someday bc it was pretty sick#as an au. like every team was from a planet and there were these like various companies controlling the planets and nick comes from#smaller hyper-religious planet that has kind of skated by while being most renowned for arts and education#and nick goes to the asg and he meets robo who comes from a huge planet that's like heavily entrenched in tech and energy-generating#companies and nick's been kind of sheltered so he didn't realize that the asg tends to be a lot of networking (and sex.) for#various revolutionary activities. like he knew a little but he didn't realize that everyone goes to the asg with an agenda#BUT that didn't really strike me as the kind of approach nick suzuki specifically would take to the asg#particularly coming from an orig 6 team. and not to get into it but we all know orig 6 franchises have a certain. uh. privileges#that the southern markets don't. and the reality of the teams wasn't matching how the story was developing and i didn't have a good#handle on robo at the time AT ALL either so i just kinda gave up#idk. i liked it but outside of the world-building it wasn't coming together but i'm sure parts of it get recycled eventually!#cage replies#sorrellegiance

I wanna make a longer post about how much like... how much labor there is taking place in the used clothing market that most people don't think/care about. But I have to sleep.

sora does come back from quadratum a little different but the biggest change is that he loses the mindset that self-sacrifice is a necessary requirement to achieve a better future for everyone. anytime there's a mission or a problem, it's either we go together or we don't go at all. he becomes adamant on that, you cannot change his mind.

byan disappears for two days but instead of emerging strung out and skittish like usual, their hands and arms are covered in paint and ink stains and they're a little distant but hungry as hell
#byan occasionally hiding away to work on a piece of art from beginning to finish to limit outside distractions#bc they have something in their head that they desperately need to get out#and if they lose focus at any point they'll never come back to finish it#it's probably no surprise to hear that these pieces are usually tied to their trauma#they get it in their head that if they get the vivid imagery out onto paper they'll be able to stop thinking about it (they won't)#but if they take a break at any point or get distracted and stop... coming back later is hard#oftentimes they end up destroying the unfinished piece when that happens bc now that they've had some distance#they don't want to relive the event again just to finish it#it's a coping mechanism they don't use often - at least not on this level#their sketchbooks are full of pieces like this but those are smaller and less elaborate - ones they finish in hours rather than days#sometimes certain pieces call for being bigger and more detailed... it just depends on how it looks in their mind#just smth that's been in my head for a couple days now that I've been mulling over idk#I think sometimes there's a little substance abuse that goes on at the same time too...#but not to the same level as the abuse when they disappear specifically to fuck themself up#it's more to like. make things flow and make it a little easier to sit in that memory for a prolonged period of time#so overall still not the most healthy coping mechanism :/ but it's not their WORST so. there's that.#━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made.#drug use cw
