the game lichrally never brings up Cid's 5-year stint as an amnesiac grave-digger ever again after ARR but that doesn't mean I'VE forgotten and indeed i believe acknowledging these truths is the key to being a true Cid Garlond Understander. this shit is torturous

his misery is beyond layered

#quarter plays ffxiv #cid garlond #going through arr on an alt rn. whom i've tastefully censored cuz i dont wanna show him off yet #anyways the torments the demons and afflictions also so on and so forth

#wendell & wild #wendell and wild #fucking creatures thats what- #honestly i just took these screenshots to see if these two things are similar- #ive concluded they're probably different creatures altogether #maybe its just a little demon worm in her apple or something? #im sure the film will tell us somewhat what these arr

[chekhovs-nailgun]

coffincest fans who have not watched the end of the fucking world are missing out if i’m being fully honest

the dynamic between the two protagonists is so fucking similar to andrew and ashley, the only real difference is that they’re not related. spoiler free description, tumultuous girl and conniving boy go on a glorified road trip and leave a shit ton of crimes in their wake and even though there isn’t any demon summoning there is a pretty fucking neat dynamic between them that was fun for me to explore when it came out in like 2018

there are two seasons on netflix (or on your average arr walk the plank site) and hough. if any of yall are into it/getting into it and want to talk about it please dm me, i might rewatch the series soon while i wait for tcoaal pt 3

#chekhov's prion disease #chekhov’s burning car #the coffin of andy and leyley #tcoaal #gravecest #all i’m saying is people who relate to one of the graves siblings will relate to one of these fuckers #*saying this as someone who relates to both andrew and james #there isn’t going to be a season 3 of this fyi the creator thought it was wrapped up pretty well #will probably do more of these. not too many of my fav ships are problematic but they got dynamics

[nights-at-crystarium]

January 9 is Vivi’s birthday \;w;/ The date’s cheeky, it’s when I reached ShB on him ingame. A year ago. JUST A YEAR. No other oc of mine had such an intense development process. I wanted to try writing a disaster, and, well....

Lemme have today as an excuse to ramble about his influences. Of course I didn’t merely lump these together, I kept realizing the likeness as time went on.

The concentration of unhinged blondies and literal idols is past the critical level, take cover, it’s gonna blow.

Spoiler warning for everything.

Anarchy Panty

Because his full name’s Vivien Fucksalot Rell x’D A good number of their tropes match perfectly.

This speech could as well be copypasted into his final battle with Emet:

Panty: You're right, I'm just a little bitch and I'm proud of it. But guess what, douchebag? That's not the point. News flash, I don't need special fucking powers to beat the shit out of you. You know why? Because I'm a bitch who doesn't give a fuck. You and your half-dead face can preach about hymens and demons and other weird words that supposedly mean shit, but that doesn't change the fact that if any of you fuckers get in my way, I'm gonna kick some twisted-ass ass. You hear me dick? I'm a hot bitch angel named Panty. And no matter what anyone says, I DO WHAT I FUCKING WANT!

Princess Ai

An edgy fashion icon that I'm still in love with. Brainstorming the visual styles for Vivi, I simply decided to indulge as hard as I can.

Howl

Howl gets his redemption arc, Vivi, uh.... Surprise, the entire ShB part of Fragments is his redemption arc of sorts. But he exists outside ShB as well. He’s not meant to be a goody two shoes. But hey, his drama queen moments are entertaining to watch.

Raha has a lot of Howl in his character too. With Vivi, he’s basically this, except he doesn’t swallow him.. Okay he does but in a different way *kicked*

Arataka Reigen

Because I’m physically incapable of writing a classic hero.

Vivi has a complicated relationship with his career and a pragmatic approach to most things in life. He also prefers words to violence, will fight only if that fails.

When confidence and persuasion carry so hard you don’t really need anything else. Vivi firmly believes in everything he says and does. He doesn’t derive any fucked up joy from being right, but he knows as a fact that he IS right.

Sakuma Ryuichi

Duality my beloved \o/ And dorkiness. Other than that, Ryuichi doesn’t have as much influence on his character, but the visuals?

I mean I literally use this shirt and necklace as an easter egg/homage. Gravitation triggered my queer awakening in the faraway 2006, might as well give it the acknowledgement it deserves.

And, lastly, the he.

What else do you expect from a character tailored for a ship \o/

Short. Sassy. Dorky. Gremlin. All of their direct likeness stems from ARR, while the more subtle parallels and extreme opposite values form later.

If Raha’s eccentric, Vivi takes that just a tad bit further, simply because he’s always been allowed to.

What Raha keeps repressed, buried deep down, Vivi embraces in full. He’s an unruly, effervescent spark of life, he’s meant to be Raha’s “manic pixie dream boy” according to tvtropes, to slowly lure him out of his shell and teach him confidence, the joy of living, and find a way to stop him from killing himself over and over again.

Words of praise and affirmation have no effect on them. Both are competent in some field, but never brag about it. While Raha has a severe imposter syndrome, Vivi knows he’s cool as a fact, which still doesn't mean he loves or values himself as he should. He just acknowledges and uses his status for his own benefit as openly as the world keeps using himself.

Destiny (affectionate) and destiny (derogatory).

Raha’s The Adult (tm) Vivi needs to stay somewhat stable. This’s the reason they don’t quite get along in ARR yet, Raha must go through that century of suffering that, despite all common sense, refines him into something delightful, Vivi must go through HW-SB to realize his priorities in life and frankly get fucked up enough to form a perfect chemistry with Exarch.

Raha has a moral compass that he may adjust at will, Vivi has none at all. How much more questionable would they be if they weren’t cute and charismatic :’D

They’re feisty and competitive towards each other, Raha especially so. Vivi has a red cloth effect on him. Forever wrestling for that imaginary control (yep, in bed too). On the emotional side, it’s forever “you matter, I don’t”. They’re mirrors of each other, reflecting some parts as they are, twisting others in most peculiar ways.

Vivi literally wouldn’t exist without Raha, both ic and ooc. So I daresay Raha has the most influence on his character, at the same time he’s his own guy enough to stay interesting. I’m so proud of him. I’m holding him by the scruff and helplessly shaking him in the air.

In Your Control

Alastor & Mind Controlled Reader

Part 2

Part 1

Warning! ⚠

⚠ mind control in the process, being electrified, blood ⚠

Niffty stood in front of the hotel lobby doors, excited for your return. She asked for you to pick up some books she had on order and couldn't wait to read them!

"Why are you just standing there? You'll get hit by the door if someone comes in.", Husk asks, wiping down the bar counter.

"I'm waiting for Alastor's friend to come back!", the little demon says and starts bouncing in place.

The cat demon huffs and leaves it alone.

Hours pass and you still haven't got back, making both demons start to worry.

Niffty looks back to Husk but then there's a knock on the door.

"I've got it!", she says and opens the door, seeing a tall goat demon with a package.

"Uh, says for the Radio Demon.", they say and hand over the box, leaving quickly.

The cyclops takes the box and closes the door, bringing it over to the bar. Husk takes it and places the cardboard box on the counter, cutting the tape with a claw.

"Think he got some voodoo shit?", he asks.

"Alastor doesn't order things, he goes out to get whatever it is!", Niffty says.

They open the box and see books with a note, along with your ring.

Husk glares at the note for a few seconds before picking it out of the box, opening the folded paper.

"Forgot something."

That's all the note says.

.

It hurts. It hurts so much.

Every time you tried to fight Vox's mind control you'd get shocked repeatedly until you stopped.

Slowly, you were losing the fight. It felt like someone was forcing in pieces of glass into a wound, scratching at your brain. The headache got worse, the blood vessels pounding and making it feel like your head was going to explode.

"Stop fighting it~ You're just hurting yourself now.", Vox said smiling.

The bastard was enjoying your pain.

"F-fuck you.", you stuttered, tears going down your face.

He sighs boredly and presses the remote again.

You scream as if you've gone mad, the electricity not helping with your headache.

"You know, I don't want to keep doing this.", the T.V. Overlard says over your screams. "Oh, who am I kidding? This is the most fun I've had this week! Hahahaha!"

Your head falls limp.

Noticing this, Vox stops the volts and walks over to your tied up form.

"Done already?", he questions with a frown, leaning closer.

You jump up and head bud his screen, hearing a crack.

"You fucking little-!", he staggers back and presses at the remote.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!", you cry, glaring right at him.

Vox wears a crazed grin.

"I'm going to have fun breaking you."

Just you wait Alastor. Your little friend is going to be completely broken.

His grin widens when your tears turn red.

By my hand or yours.

.

"Niffty, where are they?", Alastor asks.

He's looked around the whole hotel but you're no where to be seen.

"I don't know but they shipped a box to the hotel and it had a note!", the little demon says and shows him the note.

Taking the note, Alastor examines it. Turning it on the other side he sees a poorly drawn t.v. with a V shaped antenna on top.

"￦h€n d¡d +Hi$ aRr/ve?"

Hehe Vox got head budded.

~Seline, the person.

as the world caves in ~ steve harrington

summary: you and steve are stuck in the upside down and find a moment to plan for a future that you aren’t sure will even happen

warnings: SEASON 4 SPOILERS, established relationship, lots of angst, protective!steve, injuries/blood, fluff, food mention, kids mention, a proposal of sorts, two lovers against the world 💔

yes, based off this song. give it a listen before/during/after, it’ll hurt so good

Running. It’s been so much running. Running and ducking and dodging and hurling rocks at those godforsaken bats. 

You stay a step ahead, trying your best not to let your feet snag on any tentacle-branches. Steve hisses now and again from behind you, gripping the bloody bandages on his abdomen and staying alert to make sure nothing — or no one — else is following you. 

A tug on your beltloop is startling but Steve whispers, “hey, this way,” and you follow him backward into a thick, tangled mass of underbrush against a tree. The middle is hollowed out with just enough room for the two of you to sit huddled side by side. The bats quickly lose your scent and fly off. 

Finally, some peace and quiet. As much as you can find in a horrible, dangerous underworld like the Upside Down. 

“Dustin made me watch The Birds last year,” Steve grumbles. “Seemed stupid at the time. Now I never wanna see anything with wings again.”

But you don’t answer — not even a laugh or tease about how much he actually enjoys hanging with Dustin. The terror keeps you quiet. 

And Steve can’t have that. 

“Hey. Except you, angel, right?” He nudges your side, lifting his arm for you to lean against him. “You’ll sprout wings one day if you get any prettier.”

You finally crack a smile, looking over at Steve and gingerly wiping at another smear of blood on his cheek. “You first.”

He scoffs. “Right. I’m wearing Eddie freaking Munson’s vest right now, in case you haven’t noticed. Not my best look.”

Your eyes flick down and up his bare chest under the cut of denim. “I think it works.” Knowing what was coming, you lean back against his muscled arm and look up into the trees. 

“Wow, not even mortal danger can get you to keep it in your pants?”

“It’s a welcome distraction, that’s all.”

Steve chuckles, giving your ribs a quick squeeze and relishing in how you sink further into him. He presses a kiss to your hair before resting his head on yours, sighing deeply. 

Thunder cracks in the distance, sending red lightning shooting across the sky. A flock of demon-bats screeches overhead and you and Steve cower closer together. When they pass, he keeps his voice low. 

“Sorry I couldn’t get you out.”

“Steve, no—”

“No, I should’ve gone faster.” He drags his free hand dejectedly over his face to tangle in his hair. “Should’ve hurried Eddie and Robin and Nance and gotten you up that goddamn sheet-rope thing before it all went wrong.”

You could cry at the pain in his voice. “It’s not your fault. Vecna sensed us.”

“Yeah, I know. It’s just...here.” He fiddles with one of his bracelets, a simple string of leather, and pulls it off his wrist. “I’ve been meaning to give this to you anyway. Take it, yaknow, for just in case I don’t make it out.”

“In case we don’t make it out.”

Steve laughs dryly. “No, you’re getting out. I’ll make sure of that.”

You slip it on your own wrist, admiring it sadly. Then you furrow your brows at Steve. “I’ll be giving this back to you because you will make it out.”

“Okay, okay, roger that.”

To quell the tension — the “we’d probably have an argument about this if our lives weren’t in danger” tension — Steve speaks up again. 

“What’s the first thing you’re gonna eat when we get out? I feel like we haven’t had food in days.”

You hum thoughtfully, happy to play along. Steve and his hypotheticals were how you first started dating, and it’s his favorite conversation starter to keep the spark alive. 

“Gotta be fries. A whole plate of ‘em from that diner next to the video shop.”

“Good answer, I’ll take it,” he croons, sneaking a kiss to your shoulder. “Personally, I’ll be arriving unannounced at Casa Henderson. Dustin’s mom makes a mean lasagna and with a little Harrington charm, she’ll make it any time I want.”

You nudge his chest, careful to avoid the bandaged bite wounds and earning a small grunt from Steve. “Not even mortal danger can get in the way of your ego.”

“Or my lasagna.”

The two of you share a giggle and then quiet down again, listening to the dulcet sounds of otherworldly monsters roaring in the distance. A nervous wring of your hands brings your gaze back down to where Steve’s bracelet sits on your left wrist, and you stare longingly at it again. 

Steve reaches for your hand, lifting it in front of you both and ghosting his touch over your ring finger. It stirs something in you and you both try to speak. 

“So would you—”

“You know, I—”

Steve chuckles and you bicker briefly on who should talk first. You finally mime locking your lips and throwing away the key, leaving Steve to bashfully make his point. 

“I was just thinking. You know, long-term planning because we’ll definitely get out of here.” He shrugs, gesturing, shaking his head, and finally convinces himself to spit it out. “Marriage. Like, we could get married. Eventually, of course, if you wanted. You’ve never specified if you’re into the whole marriage and kids and white picket fence thing, but—”

“But I am,” you cut him off, chest flooding with warmth. You tangle your fingers with his and squeeze, melting at the happy relief in Steve’s eyes. It’s fanciful and ridiculous to consider in your current circumstance but the spark of hope is what you need. “And I accept your proposal. For some day.”

“Eventually.”

“When we’re ready.” After a beat, you add with a sly smile, “The marriage and kids thing?”

He bites back a grin. “Well with the natural progression of how these things work, yaknow, I think it’s on the table.”

“I think it’s on the table, too,” you hum contentedly. “What about Max?”

“What about her?” Tendrils of his hair flounce as he snaps his head to you in bewilderment. “Please don’t tell me she and Lucas have made up and are planning to get married, like, now.”

You clap a hand over your mouth to stifle a laugh. “No! No, god no, a million miles from that. I think they’ve made up but no. I meant, what about naming our maybe-someday-kid Max? Since it works for a boy or girl.”

He’s already shaking his head. “Nah, we can’t name our kid after any of those little shits we know. Even though Max is the least little shit of ‘em all.”

“Steve Jr.?”

You’re only met with a gagging noise, and you smack Steve’s knee. “Okay! Okay. Fine then, what do you want for a name?”

He leans his head back to think, drumming his fingers against your leg for emphasis. “Something classic. No grandpa names, nothing flowery. Something like George. Or George...ina.”

“Georgina? Georgina Harrington, that’s somehow better?”

“I don’t know, maybe!” Steve sputters, tongue peeking through his teeth as he laughs. You dissolve into equal laughter and it’s the most lighthearted you’ve felt in days. 

But the feeling is fleeting and a heaviness sets in your chest again. Steve’s smile fades, too, and he pulls you closer with a sad sigh. The wishful thinking is just that — wishful, and your reality in the Upside Down is much worse. This hiding pause feels like a temporary salve, one that could disappear in an instant and leave the world to crash down around you. 

The quiet picket-fence life is a dangerous daydream. 

The demon-bats cry out again, but the sound is the farthest it’s been. The rest of the monstrous woods are also relatively quiet and you feel Steve brace against the ground. 

“Probably should get on the move again,” he murmurs, “find a new place to hide.”

You nod solemnly and stand with him, carefully clawing out of your tangled hiding space. He seems to have gathered a little strength and puts himself in front, clasping your hand to his side to keep you close. 

“Ready?”

“Ready.”

[nuesora]

Thoughts on how Robin & Kylar would play ffxiv

.

Robin:

Start playing at mid shadowbringer.

Lalafell (gender same with their irl gender). Have tried hyur once on a sub character but soon found they're more fond of their little lala popoto.

Play on console, can only play the game in controller.

Mostly prefer casual, slightly modern glamour, but have one set of high-fantasy adventurer-ish glamor for msq.

Is in a big FC, but have a few friends good enough to do daily roulettes with.

Hangout with these people at their FC house regularly.

If Robin has to sell their console and quit the game these friends will genuinely be worried of them.

Have tried most content in game except ultimates.

Casual raid player, usually clear the current tier within a month from release.

Don't have a static but is good enough to clear with random people on pf.

Mainly play magical range dps, can play both 3 magic dps job fairly well. Have max leveled at least 1 job in all categories but haven't maxed all job.

Don't own any online store item, but have a fairly good collection of in-game collectibles (mounts, minions, gears, etc.)

Don't have their personal estate but owns a apartment at Limsa. Indoor decoration doesn't involve complicated techniques but is hearty and clearly a lot of efforts and thoughts have been put into it.

Enjoy showing pc the world of Eorzea and (especially) their apartment.

Have tried convincing pc to also play ffxiv at least once.

Have dreamed about living in a place like their in-game apartment in real life with pc more than once.

--------------------

Kylar:

Started playing at ARR release.

Solo player, empty friend list, in a solo FC.

Is in a lot of people's black list.

Started as bard main but switched to dancer after shb. Maxed all jobs but bought skip for most of them. Did all skipped job quest later in new game +.

Other than msq and chronicles first clear, they only do contents that absolutely does not involve another player (island sanctuary, criterion dungeons, etc.). Most of the time they just stay in their FC house (doors locked).

FC house interior is not very sfw.

HEAVY mod user, have enough mods (both sfw & nsfw) installed to get them perma banned by se instantly if there's a screenshot with their id on get leaked.

Started as a cat boy but soon modded their character into their crush at the time, currently their wol looks exactly like pc.

Actually paid people online to make hairstyle and face mod of pc.

Heavy fantasia user as they would like to see pc in different race and can't really choose between pc with cat ears and bunny ears and dragon horns.

If pc has any of the TF Kylar will have a paid mod of that TF. Except cat TF, in which case Kylar just fantasiaed into a miqo'te, but will have the tail modded if pc is demonic cat.

All the mods they commissioned are private.

Their screenshot folder size have exceeded game file size long time ago.

Have an alt on separate account modded into themselves to eternal bond with their main and do nsfw screenshots. Think double month sub and expansion fee is like nothing comparing to get "eternally bonded" with their love.

Do found some sort of comfort after their parents' tragedy in ffxiv's story.

--------------------

Bonus Whitney:

Don't play "weeb game", but would very much like to see pc cosing female viera in their racial starting glamour despite of pc's gender if they ever lays their eyes on it.

[elf-simp]

With the advent of the benchmark and the information that's given us in way of textures, models, and materials: This is going to be the final experiment with this specific body texture before Dawntrail. If I can help it I'm going to be directing my efforts to making a new texture entirely, hopefully one that's completely custom made.

Fullbody + Kinda shitty closeup under cut lol (also very scattered and chaotic exposition)

So why this design? Well the short answer is that Seiei is a monster/demon. Even in early drafts of her lore she fell to corruption and had her entire being changed irrevocably.

The long answer is given both the nature of her being, her past, and the area she lived in I wanted to try and draw upon specific themes she has when designing this more beastial form to get a more truly finalized picture of this character.

The biggest themes being Corvids, Emotions (namely rage), Tengu, and the final player that spurred the decision to add scales: Alatreon (yes, from monster hunter). Going in reverse order to explain starting with Alatreon; it was the final piece of the puzzle as every aspect of it fits Seiei nearly to a T with a short blurb of it stating: "Known as a symbol of destruction, people fear even uttering its name. It’s rumored to control all of the elements, but most, if not all, records of its existence have been burned." Going hand in hand with much of what is stated in this writing I posted a while ago. This on top of the fact that when fighting, Alatreon is inherently chaotic and easily enraged, much like Seiei.//

Given the area that Seiei is from—that being Doma—Tengu seemed to fit the bill as well. The decision to include this only reinforced by Swallows Compass.

There is significantly more to unpack here than with Alatreon as well as some still loose ends but the main reasons Tengu play into her design are because they are often depicted as yokai, sometimes even 'evil spirits.' In art and media they are portrayed very commonly with avian characteristics which ties into the whole Corvid thing. I could very well argue that the evolution from Corvids to Tengu is due to her corruption twisting that aspect of her into something monstrous. Oh and the big nose...

But more than that there, are a few stories that portray Tengu as legendary martialists that can employ extremely powerful and dangerous magics, which Seiei has in the form of her prior kenjutsu training and "black smoke". And yes, keeping with typical depictions, she does also have a feather fan, but I'm not sure I've really ever posted her with it.//

Emotions, specifically rage, was the baseline theming for her when I was drafting up her original lore (that needs heavy refinement now but I'll worry about that later). As one might guess this also hooks into 'Dynamis'. You see; Seiei was created shortly after I'd finished Endwalkers MSQ and the idea of "Dynamis" was still fresh in my head. Specifically it's observed ability to spiral out of control (much like real emotion) and create horrid abominations that the people of etheirys do not understand (Much like how rage causes people to do things they otherwise wouldn't with no sound logic behind it).

I'd never been invested in FF's magic system until this point either as it seemed very straight forward and bland to me even with astral and umbral alignments. But with the introduction of Dynamis as the sort of 'antithesis' to Aether I was locked in. My mind had interpreted it as a sort of matter vs anti-matter type of deal given that where one is abundant the other is near absent and they do not generally play well together, so naturally I wanted to try and explore that avenue more.

It was difficult trying to figure out how to get a character to reasonably function with Dynamis at first, especially with her lore being from pre-arr. However, if you know about "The Burn" and it's alleged lack of Aether, one needn't stretch very far to see how Dynamis could have affected Seiei. Or really any character from Othard. I'd love to do a real deep-dive into this at some point but for now you get my very scattered and very raw exposition.

As a sorta related aside, this was all thought up during a very difficult time in my life. So in a way this character started out as 'vent art' to release pent up emotion.//

Anyone who's been around a while knows Seiei's original last name was 'Warcrow'. When I'd made the character at first this had literally zero meaning outside of "I like bird :) " but as time went on I started to see where it could fit.

Without going into an insane amount of detail though because I'm sleepy: The crow motif is more closely tied to her adoptive father (The bunny man) who was exceptionally clever and tricky much like crows are. However, when he had passed our Seiei inherited much of what made him who he was and subsequently twisted it (cannot emphasis enough how much I love corruption). As a result for our Seiei, the meaning of crows is no longer relates to their intelligence or trickery but their more superstitious interpretations of approaching disaster and death.

So your post about the kids thinking you were the only person left from the 1800's ended up in my dash and I loved it, do you have any more stories like that in your personal experience?

Ah, is that making its rounds again haha? I've got notes blocked on it so I never know.

I have many kid stories. I mean, if you're working with kids under the age of 9 (and the child in that post was 7-8) they have no concept of time so when you're talking about something in the past they assume that you've personally experienced it. That one was just the funniest instance of age-typical time confusion. I don't know if that's the sort of thing you're looking for or just like, sweet kid stories.

I used to teach kids about 19th/early 20th c. life on a ship and this one 9ish year old lad was so ready to be a sailor even with all the hardship we were discussing. He loved trying to break the hardtack. He loved hauling on ropes and going around the capstan. He was SO enthusiastic about singing shanties--it was sometimes hard to get kids on board with singing, but he was thrilled with them. And also asked if I could share the lyrics to the full songs so he could teach his parents, to which I was like uHHHH THAT'S ALL OF IT! THAT'S THE WHOLE SONG! cos I'd only teach them the choruses. One because it's easier for them to learn call and response with just the chorus, but also because it's hard to find a shanty that doesn't have some combination of...sexism, racism, alcohol consumption, sex, or wanting to die. He loudly shouted out to the water that he loved the smell of it (a brine and diesel combo, which I also love, I was like ME TOO KID). He was such a kindred spirit lol. Shouted 'Bye Captain!' to me after the program. Extremely sweet. I'd also get a lot of kids trying to tell me pirate jokes at that job. The joke was often 'what's a pirate's favorite letter' and the punchlines were either 'Arr' or 'The C' but I had to pretend I didn't know every single time.

I also used to teach comic making to kids aged 11-18. And that was when they were all fully in their edgy anime demon stage (I get it man. Been there. Middle school and high school's rough). And towards the end of the program one of them came up to me and quietly asked if all comics had to be about action or violence, because that's what everyone seemed to be writing but those weren't the stories he liked telling. And I said they absolutely don't have to be about action or violence, they can be about anything he wanted, and I asked if he wanted to share a story he was thinking of. He said he wanted to write a story about a candymaker who explored the world trying to find new kinds of candy. I thought that sounded lovely. I hope he got to write it, or another such story. That was around 10 years ago at this point. I always wonder where these kids end up. I wish em well. If anything gives me hope for the future, it's consistently The Kids.
