My heart is a locket and your face is in it.

Edna St. Vincent Millay, July 1911

#i found a signed first edition of conversation at midnight while i was sorting through the cheaper books at work today #and god the GASP i let out #a first edition signed by my favorite poet for only $250?! #i told my boss he could easily sell it for three times that price #and he said 'i didn't even know we had that and judging by the look on your face right now i don't think it could go to a better home.' #so bottom line i have a signed first edition by my number one girl on my nightstand right now #'i know not how such things can be; i only know there came to me vincent millay for two fifty.' 💗 #edna st. vincent millay #literature

Slight AU where Izuku gets to know Yagi well during their ten months of training and realizes that All Might is lonely so, in between learning how to be a hero, Izuku’s goal is to find his new dad a good husband. When he gets to UA he finds out his homeroom teacher is none other than Eraserhead and he’s ecstatic: he’s found the perfect candidate!

patron saint of being hot

and a lot of skill and really interesting anecdotes about your life and having professors that give me second hand anxiety bc they seem kinda awful and mean. But mainly just being hot

ty! admittedly my professors are not that bad, ive only had one bad professor that was more incompetent that awful. if you want another anecdote, ill tell you about the only teacher i truly despise to this day (on the tags, cuz its a very dark story)

ask gamerino

#i retook that course with a different professor and passed expectacularly. now for the horrendous teacher #on this story we have vomiting injuries and attempted suicide so watch out #in my last two years of our highschool equivalent i had PE with a teacher that loved to play favorites #if u were on a sport team you were immediately given special treatment and as you might already tell i wasnt. i hate ball sports #i loved exercising but i dreaded PE because of her #i have a condition that made my periods incredibly painful and meself anemic so those weeks were hellish #even though i was a good student she would NEVER let me sit out the navette test. even with a doctors note #i would do my best and then literally go vomit and pass out in the bathroom cuz if i did it on the court i would be berated #that wasnt enough to earn my absolute hatred tho. we now move to the worst day of my life to this day #it was just getting to school from lunch (we could go home and have it there) and i had PE #when i get a text #it was my best friend being cryptic thanking me for being a friend and saying goodbyes #he was going to commit suicide #i absolutely lost my shit as one does and went on a rampage #i couldnt get in contact with anyone (his ex stepdad was abusive and isolated his family) and they didnt let me get out of school #i was desperate and my friends were trying to help me but i didnt know what to do. i called my mom and she called his school and then i just #sat and waited with a friend. while the other classmates did the navette test #the minutes passed. i got message from my bffs number and it was his mom telling me she found him just in time #i broke then. i started sobbing and screaming and scratching my arms and my friend held me and tried to keep me from hurting myself #some other classmates came concerned and tried to help #then the teacher came. she just looked at one of the volleyball girlies who shrugged #she didnt ask if i was ok or if i needed to call someone or go somewhere. she just asked if i planning to do the test #i said no and she left and i kept crying #when i felt stable enough i went to see what had happened and she just failed me. i couldnt give the test any other day and that was that #she simply didnt care #i had to calm myself down while writing this. its no use getting emotional over a teacher that didnt care #but i hate her. she made the worst day of my life worse and she doesnt know and doesnt care #that memory fuels me to never surrender to indifference and make the pain in this world worse #my bff got help he needed after that and our bond is stronger than ever. he never pulled something like that again #thats the story! not gonna tag this babes

five and luther moments where they are twins? it's canon that they're twins, do u have any concept of them?

Five and Luther being twins is actually a corner of comic canon I ignore! My opinion on that bit of canon is that it is only there to give Allison a reason to help Five because he's such a little bastard in the comics. She doesn't give a fuck if Five were to stop existing, but she does have a *vested* interest in keeping Luther around. How do we solve that? They're twins! If Five's mom is killed and he's wiped from existence, so is Luther! Better help him, then!

I also think the Hargreeves are more compelling as a completely forced family. That no one is actually related to any of the others but they're aggressively being siblings, despite how terrible their childhoods were and they've estranged themselves from one another. They could have treated it like a school situation, even around Reggie being "Dad", but no! They're a family! Plus, that Five, pragmatic and (surface level) self-centered, dedicated his entire life and survived horrors to get back and save these six people he's not technically related to. They're his family - not by blood, but through growing up together, being in the Umbrella Academy together, and because he says so.

#non-plutonian-druid has good thoughts on this #that we've talked about in relation to ''what if one of them (five) had biological family?'' #and the siblings are excited for five to go meet them #but five doesn't give a fuck about that because he's got his family right here what does he need these other ones for? #they share genes? alright whatever why should that matter? #anyway #not quite the response you were hoping for anon #but i just think the hargreeves not being related (outside of whatever the marigolds are) is The Best #that said - if two were going to be related #im glad its the Lorge and the Smol #luther being huge next to five being tiny is my favorite thing in the comics #and in the show #tua #number 1 #number 5 #ask response

Heyo! Have the corpses been partying? (This is me asking how far you are in Corpse Party, people joke a lot about its title lol)

Also! Lowkey love seeing you and Barbatos flirt, its cute! Me just watching from the sidelines like a child seeing their parent ffinding a new lover/lh

ladfkjdf the corpses have been PARTYING.

I mean, I think. I found a bunch of Corpse Party titles on Steam, but none of them said rebuilt. But then I found a website that let me download it! So I think I'm playing the right one?

I was doing pretty good until one of my kids got beat up by an evil anatomy model that came to life. :(

I was so happy when the little sister didn't drown in the bathroom stall full of blood and when I found the blessed shoes that let me walk on the bile. I thought yeah for sure I can win this!

But noooooo I had to wander into the dissection lab.

I really love the music, though, it is absolutely creeptastic.

Anyway, I'm determined to get those kids out of that school without dying! Hopefully I'll be more successful as I keep playing lol.

And oh gosh, I feel like when I'm talking to Barbatos, I end up writing really eloquently like I would if I was writing as him. I love the idea of Barb deliberately getting on Tumblr just to flirt with me. A while ago, I had an anon say that they feel like they're talking to Barb when they send me an ask. So I answered as him. And I'm also quite fond of the idea of him showing up at my house and distracting me with tea so he can use my blog to talk to anons. Because he can be sneaky like that.

Anyway, I'm glad you think it's cute! I felt a little silly because I'm usually the one writing Barbatos being flirty, not the one being flirted with lol. And while I'm not a parent, I'm definitely old enough to be one and that honestly sounds so precious. Like two old tired people finding each other 🥹

#perhaps that's why he's been my favorite all along #I find responsible men attractive lol #mostly I just like a man who can cook #and isn't chaotic #and yet somehow Solomon is my number two #how did that happen #tired-writer-in-progress #misc answers

whenever i think that maybe despite love definitely being real, dramatic romances don’t play out the way i love to read them in books or watch them on screen, i remember my aunt who got tutored by her now husband in middle school, became best friends with him, started dating in high school, went to prom together, stayed together through college, got married, and are now the proud lawyer-engineer parents of a cute ass baby and my mom’s best friend whose husband’s family forbade him from marrying her under the threat of taking away his multi-million dollar inheritance and spot as heir to the family company and he chose to marry her anyway (even though he’s like a total frat dude bro which maybe shouldn’t matter but it kind of does) and then i realize that all those stories i love might not be real but they are always going to be tied up in reality and the possibility of great romances for everyone and then life doesn’t seem so bad

#ACTUALLY BOTH OF THESE MEN ARE PRECIOUS #like actually genuinely nice as fuck caring guys with the best puppy dog energy ever #man number 2 flew with his wife to their hometown of chicago for eras tour weekend and listened from the parking lot for TWO NIGHTS #trying tirelessly all day to get tickets all just for his wife #and all these people are raising the nicest children ever. i do a lot of babysitting but these are truly some of my favorite kids #mine #guy number one is totally different though like a complete nerd and every time i visit HE ALWAYS PLANS NICE THINGS FOR ME TO DO #AND HAS NERDY STUFF TO SHOW ME #that man snuck me into the library at yale and for that i owe him everything. one of my favorite places i’ve ever been

going through my dream daddy saves and when i first played i did the routes in order of which i thought would be my least to most favorite

#random thoughts #dream daddy #so it goes damien hugo mat craig brian joseph robert #i'd order them differently now in some ways but mostly yeah that. that tracks. #hugo and mat are both my least favorite routes because they both lack any character growth and i feel like their characters are the weakest #hugo is definitely the better out of the two of them though #then brian. wish he was better. and fatter. generally wish there was more body diversity ig #EVERYONE HAS THE SAME JAW SHAPE WHAT'S THE DEAL #anyway i've gone into why i don't like brian's route before so i wont get into it too much #his route is based around the avatar's character flaws rather than his own and the romance is rushed on brian's part #why is brian into the avatar if he's been nothing but fucking mean to him???? #and then damien #not much to say about damien #very forgettable. not much done wrong but not much done right either. solid 5/10. #and now for my top three!!! #number 3: craig. craig is probably my favorite character just because of how well he bounces off others #he's such a fucking people pleaser it's so fun #his arc about learning to not sacrifice his own happiness for his children is SO GOOD #wish there was more of an underlying basis to the relationship between the avatar and craig but that's difficult to do in a dating sim so eh #like he'd be THE GUY to mention the mc's dead spouse right. wouldn't they have known each other. #like obviously the reason they haven't talked since college is because life and kids getting in the way #but i feel like they could have ruminated on that a bit more #fucking hate the baby toy search in the park. only part of the game where i gave up and looked shit up #aside from the trivia game but that doesn't count #anyway craig 7/10 on the basis everyone else was worse #number two! JOSEPH MY MAIN FUCKER HOW ARE YOU DOING YOU BASTARD #fucking love joseph. his dynamic with his wife and kids and ROBERT oh my god wtf happened between them #he's such a strong character. fucking hate his ass wish i could have swam away from that boat #number one!!!! the man the myth the legendary ghost hunter ROBERT!!!!!!! #again another strong character who has great dynamics with other characters fucking bounces off other people so well

The happiness that I experience every time I win Stardew Valley Fair and get to watch Pierre be sad that he lost is so fantastic. Like I could not get first place or any prize, but I still would be okay as long as I would do better than him.

#don't mind me #just me rambling #stardew valley #this blog is officially a Pierre's hate club #idk even why I dislike him so much but he is literally my number two least favorite after mayor Lewis

#tag talk #as much as I hate to see the social cinema grow as I get new followers. we're at a good and satisfying number. and I like that #also also also. I've introduced a friend to Hannibal (tv show) and he's loving it and I'm so happy cause none of #of my other friends have been able to stomach the body horror. so it's super cool to find someone to hype over it with #another random story that I genuinely can't remember if I said already. got told by a kid in minecraft that he's smiled a lot more around me #which. huge compliment. genuine honor to make people happy and smile and laugh #people don't laugh enough. we don't smile enough. be happy or die. and I'm too powerful to die. been there. haven't done that #cry and then laugh and then punch as hard as you can. #got to visit some of my favorite residents from the nursing home I first worked at. lotta new staff but my three favorite nurses are still #which is nice. I cried when I left that job because even though it crushed my soul I loved my coworkers and most of my residents. #I get why some healthcare workers grind themselves to the bone for the job. you're making such a huge difference in people's lives. #I tried but didn't have the fortitude for it. but it's nice to be able to go back and say hi to the friends I made and see how things are. #anyway. sorry for being weird like.. one or two weeks ago. I think things are settling out again. moving is rough but we're making it work #It's been a lot of Lear again lately. especially while being at my parents house. he doesn't mind being deadnamed as much sooo.... #idk. at least one of us is capable of surviving the dmv and the state medicaid website. heaven knows I can't manage. #trying to stop using him as a crutch for getting things done has just resulted in us not being able to get things done. #but I don't want to be someone else I want to be me. I don't want to be the armor I want to be the human inside. #I don't want to live defensively. pushing everyone away. I can't do that. #anyway. we're back home! and work is on the horizon. hopefully this job works out cause I don't want to have to apply for new jobs. #the hr rep is a man at this store and I immediately got set on edge and our voice dropped as I stepped back. #then we introduced ourselves with the wrong name and he got confused and I just felt stupid about it #but how am I supposed to know which name he's been told. he didn't even use our paperwork name. Anyway that was a disaster #but we're on track and embarrassment is not a setback but a feeling about the way things progress. and it is progress we're making

omg wait what was YOUR pokémon au

i haven't posted much about it (i have a post here and here, as well as a snippet here, and i swear i mentioned in more detail somewhere about the friendship mechanics and mr benedict having Max Friendship(TM) with all his pokemon, and like one of the ones with the moves that requires a close bond with your pokemon or whatever being really strong? but i couldn't find that post) but like

i just have a lot of vague thoughts about an mbs pokemon au. like i don't think so much about them having specific individual types of pokemon bc there's so many choices it gives me anxiety but like. just generally them in the pokemon world.........oh........

it meshes so well, a world built on kindness and friendship.........curtain being like one of them Badguy Teams(TM) who mistreats his pokemon and thinks it's about stat buffs and items and really high attack power versus benedict who actually cares about them, maybe has like. a service pokemon that helps with his narcolepsy/helps catch him (oh my god someone definitely got him a snorlax or a drowzee as a joke but jokes on them he bonds with literally any pokemon put near him)

and like. thoughts on mr benedict being a retired(?) pokemon professor, perhaps now working at something like one of the daycares or not a pokemon center but kind of a rural, out of the way version of that, something that involves helping/taking care of pokemon, but he's still got a huge library and cares deeply about research--maybe even similarly to canon curtain's Badguy Team is doing some 'emergency' shit and once again no one believes this kooky professor so he ends up getting all but forced into retirement,,,

ohhhhh also thinking about like. he isn't alone, even when he is, because he has pokemon..... and the kids, too, having their own pokemon, perhaps really recently (would mr benedict, like in the games how a professor often gives you your starter, give them theirs? choices? i think maybe three pokemon like in the game that are like, fire/water/grass, that kate, reynie, and sticky choose--kate doesn't realize she chooses one similar to one milligan had, when she was young, oh god i bet curtain has captured pokemon oh g--and constance either has her own (psychic type just because that's funny) or claims she doesn't need one but has secretly had one the whole time (psychic, but on the other hand, very funny if it's like a little togepi or a magikarp).

god do you think the twins had like. matching pokemon a long time ago? like a minun and a plusle (they switch who you'd think would have which, so mr benedict has the minun and curtain the plusle--insert joke about Happiness/Positivity here) or latios and latias? and like. parallels of how each of them treat this pokemon now??

and like. like. like. just. endless thoughts is all i'm saying. endless extremely vague thoughts

#pokemon au #milligan and dragonite...... (see post) #also idk why but number two with a sassy farfetch'd on her shoulder just came to mind lmao #also i think they have a legendary hanging around. i don't know which one i just think they do and it's extremely funny #someone comes around to mr benedict's house and like there's just. A God Vibing In His Sitting Room #head resting on his lap while he reads jane eyre or something #and they're like Hey? Uh? Is That God? #and hes like yeah why #also mr benedict gets a sableye because i love sableyes so much it hurts. #also a mimikyu hanging around and an oddish bc all my favorites are here. they dont have to be important to the plot of the au #but i need it to be known they exist in mr benedicts house #oh god when they flee where do the pokemon go #i imagine he makes arrangements but #fuck #askbox #mbs disney #the mysterious benedict society #also curtain using pokemon and their abilities but in experimenty augmented ways for the emergency and happiness shir #shit #and dr garrison

"You can find me under the lights, diamonds under my eyes" I have never related so hard to a Dua Lipa lyric. well. besides "You're my Starlight" wink wink 🌟🌸✨

#thinking about holding ken's hands and clumsily dancing to this song #i cant dance for shit but barbie and ken would be so supportive #im just in the corner doing the same two steps and doing the claps #can we talk about that fuckin body roll the Kens do during that dance number???? #like hello????? #every time that scene is about to play i am always on the edge of my seat #margot said her favorite move that the kens do is the body roll too sdlfkjsdlfsds #and she tried to replicate it and ryan was laughing saying 'sorry what move?' #'do that again?' margot's like 'no i won't' and they're both laughing and he's like 'show me that again????' #theyre so fucking funny i love them #woof

related to my tags on that last post: even tho i have had alcohol each time i'm in canada with my kids in the hall friends i still have never smoked pot even tho i've had many opportunities to. see rn i'm caught between "holy shit i could also make it so the first time i smoke pot is with scott/paul" vs "both times i got secondhand high in high school i got super paranoid and i do not want to risk that happening while i'm with these people who i still very much look up to even tho they're basically my uncles." tho also tbh i've been around people smoking weed indoors often enough in toronto that i've probably gotten secondhand high since then (especially at the buddy cole afterparty lmao) and that felt fine so idk i might try it at some point. idk if i'll have my first with a member of kids in the hall but if i end up liking it i WILL smoke with them someday. in any case i still appreciate that paul and scott always offer a joint to me even if i refuse it and are totally understanding when i do. it's a small thing but it makes me feel included

#i originally was more vague than just saying scott/paul but tbh they're the only two that have actually smoked weed around me??? #i assume the rest of them do but i've never been in that kind of environment with bruce and i still haven't met the other three #(i will be meeting kevin in july!!!!) #also. my favorite goddamn paul bellini quote of all time comes from when he offered me a joint at a mouth congress recording session #and i said no thanks weed makes me paranoid. and his response (while being supportive) was like the funniest thing i've heard him say #i'm so mad this wasn't like a line from a sketch that i can quote with other kith fans. number one favorite bellini moment and it's just me #OH ALSO. most bizarre thing about my kids in the hall connections. my dad has smoked weed with paul bellini's partner #truly a ''how the fuck did we get here'' situation. if someone asks i'll explain the context but yeah that happened #imagine being my father who watched kith in the 90s and then in the year 2023 you're smoking pot with the towel guy's partner #all because your adhd nonbinary child hyperfixated on this sketch show intensely enough that it made this happen

i need to post more about the AU where, due to some kind of timeline fuckery, the five we know for most of canon and the retconned five from FoF end up stuck in a liminal world outside of time. they then have to work together to survive and find a way home.

(and, for that matter, decide whether they want the other one to get home. they are from points in their respective timelines where their goals are at odds to say the least, even if they won't be there to see how things in the other's timeline play out.)

retcon!five, who was raised by the mogs from the age of six, is significantly less prepared for this than canon!five on account of being much more sheltered all his life. he is also a whole lot less hinged than canon!five. and kind of a snotty princess. and way more of an asshole in general. honestly he would make canon!five feel better about himself by comparison if canon!five wasn't having to step in and be the one to use common sense and survival skills to keep them both alive

enter, at this point, a third five: cody, a human college student who's on a mental health break from school to get his head together when one day he goes for a rainy drive and finds himself stuck here. he is not remotely prepared to stumble across two traumatized, unhinged alien kid versions of himself with superpowers. but he can't help but feel responsible for them, and he makes the decision on the spot to take charge and get them all home.

(or try to take charge, anyway. they may be stupid, and they may have been in a cult, but neither of them takes well to being told what to do.)

maybe it's how angry and scared they look; maybe it's that he wants to take the chance to be the kind of adult to himself that he needed in his life when he was their age; but he's got a car and an open road and some therapy under his belt, and that'll have to be enough.

then he realizes they're making out in the backseat and goes through the stages of grief like a lottery wheel

#lorien legacies #LL number five #this AU is deeply entertaining to me and i need to plan out more stuff for it #three different fives who are sorely testing each other is one of my favorite things that could exist #and that's before you add in road trips and liminal space shit #pour one the fuck out for cody trying to be the Benevolent Older Brother/Cousin despite still dealing with his own issues #and then having to babysit these two horrible little gremlins; who are a pair of living callout posts for said issues #and then they start macking on each other and inside he's just like REALLY?

I got a letter from my neighbor earlier but I didn't open it bc I didn't see it until like right before dnd. anyway I came really close to crying multiple times during tonight's session but I just opened the envelope and it tipped me over the edge.

it's my mom's old apple cake recipe. we're observing her yahrzeit tomorrow. I don't know if we have enough apples in the house for me to make it.

#personal #bluh bluh #I don't even LIKE apple cake #but my dad wanted it for his birthday back in april so I found a low-fat recipe and made that #and he loved it said it was delicious said it was his favorite thing I've ever baked #and then like two weeks ago I found out that mom used to have her own apple cake recipe #and I could've just used that! if I'd known! #it uses a lot of eggs and a lot of oil #the oil I could swap for applesauce and it would probably be better bc it would emphasize the apple flavor #the eggs I'm less sure about. I could try making it with just the whites #or maybe the same number of whites but only one or two yolks #I don't know. I'll try something. soon by g-d I will try something
