am i gonna put you in the book acknowledgements am i gonna be able to say your name without flinching am i ever gonna get a word in edgewise am i ever gonna recover the time i spent with you. computer virus kid; i arrived in your life already begging to be let in. somehow insecure i could even be your friend. like you had a line outside the door and we were all shifting our weight, begging.
you're so fucking good at that - at making people feel like they need to earn you, like you're a commodity none of us can afford. no kindness or careful communication could work on you - you were so good at just going-ghost, about deciding someone just wasn't cool-enough. something about that is super ironic. even the parts of it that weren't romantic felt like a romance book. i wanted you to like me so badly i scrubbed myself clean just so you'd spare me - what. your favor? a look?
okay okay okay. it's just a friendship - if it was even true that we were friends, if you even saw me as someone you trusted. on reddit someone would tell me girl literally just cut her out of your life, it's not that difficult. even i was aware of how fucked up the whole situation was. like, why the fuck do i even care about your approval? you're like, not even that fun to be around. you are often a little bit cruel.
but for almost four years of my life, i thought i had found someone like me. somebody who liked the same things i do. someone who liked to read and who liked making jokes with esoteric references and who spent maybe too much time on the internet and who was absolutely a little bit pretentious. i don't know, something about that was powerful and addictive.
i keep thinking about our last conversation. about how i said - okay, enough is enough. you pushed me too far, you really hurt my feelings.
and how you laughed and said - you think you're the victim?

I like to think Roy leaves little notes for Jamie around the house. Some are for little reminders like "don't forget to pack this..." or a list of meal prep instructions on the food he's left for Jamie in his fridge, etc. and some are just general well wishes like "good morning beautiful, meet you at the club x" or whatever. Except Roy's handwriting is so tragically bad, and this combined with the fact that Jamie already finds reading difficult results in Jamie never having one single clue what the hell that man is trying to say to him. He keeps all the notes in a shoebox anyway because they're from Roy and because Roy always signs them off with "I love you," the one sentence in Roy's handwriting that Jamie is never not going to recognize 🥰🥰

Slade losing his eye in a literal blink and you'd miss it moment is kinda iconic but Adeline Kane (his ex-wife) should've shot it out like God intended. Boss babe erasure that I will not stand for. Someone serve this man divorce papers.

truly not sorry but once again thinking abt miranda/mc/mia in RL. i need them SO bad. like, 2 of the most morally unsound persons (Mia & Miranda) + their little meow meow. Knowing both are so possessive and destructive (TO OTHERS) when they love and instead of running, fully embracing the chaos of it. Loving them despite their delusions of grandeur, the crimes, the secrets, and the deaths (+ undeaths) caused (or ordered!) by their hands. Acknowledging this is fucked up but you can't help it. Lovingly bitching abt their fights but fully done and gone to do anything else but to soothe and continue loving them, because after all those years of waiting and doing and redoing everything to be perfect was worth it for this.
also did i mention being their little meow meow. sorry Miranda, MC was the original gremlin in the relationship and Mia being the fucked up feral racoon she is now is not solely by her doing, MC was and IS the enabler in both relationships that it bled over sm and OUGHJJJJJHHHHhhhh im being so emo abt three (3) women being utter menaces frfr

my love for companions really depends on the character I'm roleplaying as huh
personally, I cant stand lawful characters. as a result, Wyll has been my second least favorite companion for almost 500 hours and 3+ playthroughs. I just do not get along with people who follow strict rules, and him and Lae'zel just feel like party poopers to me.
except last night I started a paladin run. I decided at the character creation stage that I was going to romance Wyll. I wasn't really excited about it, but I wanna play through all the romance lines once and I'm getting to a point where I'm running low on options (Wyll and Lae'zel left (and Minthara but she wont make it out of the goblin camp alive on a paladin run)). I honestly figured I'd drag my feet through the romance parts and would focus more on the other aspects of the game. so I created my character, and I had an idea I really loved for her, so by the time I was done creating her I already felt more connected to her than half of my other Tavs. as soon as I started playing, I felt myself slip into this lawful good mindset I had planned to set out on, and I was excited to watch her navigate this chaotic world on her quest to make that world a better place.
so when the time came that I got to the druid grove gate, faced the goblins, and Wyll leaped down from the wall to aid us in our battle... my heart skipped a beat. like genuinely. suddenly I was in love, head over heels right then and there.
my entire opinion on Wyll did 180 on a flip of a switch. now I actually adore him, I cant wait to see my paladin Tav build a bond with him and see where that connection takes them. I'm actually so excited to see how his romance plays out lmao. these two are gonna be so god damn cute I'm gonna lose my mind.

It's kinda funny to me that so many people are up in arms about Neo's actions in C8 when it's easy for me to dismiss simply because that ain't Neo, yknow?
Like, Neo has never pussyfoot around murder. If she wants you dead, you gonna get dead. From Neo about to stab Yang while the latter is unconscious to Neo and Ruby falling through the void while Neo uses the visuals of Ruby's loved ones to try and weaken her enough for Neo to strangle her to death, Neo has always been fairly direct in her methods
So, it's difficult to reconcile that version of Neo with the one who would passively let her target take themselves out
Not to mention the semblance shift. Neo's semblance, Overactive Imagination, is illusions manifested via semblance glass. They shatter upon contact. Because they're illusions
That's the biggest deal breaker for me. Crwby changed her semblance so much she might as well be a whole ass other person. Fuck, it could've been an Afteran. It's not like Neo was needed here, especially with how easily she was discarded
Instead of illusions, Neo's new abilities seem to be... animorphing people/creatures she may or may not have met via semblance clones and allowing them sentience
Mcfucking what???
The point of illusions is they're not physical. It's not an actual transformation, but rather the aesthetic of one. This could have worked if they kept the semblance evolution to multiple illusions at once OR allowing physical transformation, either of which would have been super cool to see, but they pushed too far. There's too many upgrades that deviate so much from the original ability that it's a whole ass new power
So, immediately on her introduction, the og Jabber is killed(?) and in its place is... multiple Neo-Jabbers. Who can eat other creatures alive. And apparently desire to do so
McFUCJING WHAT
This implies that all her semblance clones of others have their own sentience. Which would never make sense when she never interacted with anyone in that torture scene besides Roman. Seriously why the fuck is Lionheart here? Give us nothing, king
Now, given that we are shown the stream of souls, what could have happened is the illusions were possessed by folks who needed to get a last word in, but that's not. what. happened.
Instead, we have the writers disregarding a character's inability to speak so they can brutalize a teenager in the stupidest way possible, and throwing away all logic of a fairly easy to understand power because it suits their plot needs

thinking about Sparrow and how both times she reunites with someone from her past, it just makes her feel like a ghost in someone else's skin.
When Derrick greets her in Old Town, its like he's mistaken her for someone else entirely. She's not the little girl who ran around with her big sister, collecting warrants for a gold piece, but she can't bring herself to say so. She doesn't have the words yet, doesn't quite understand where the discomfort is coming from. She brushes it off as a symptom of returning to her childhood home. She's come home, but she and home are different now and she can't really explain it.
But then she comes back from the Spire, and she's changed once more. Before she was hurting. Now she's broken. A bundle of survival instincts wrapped up in the skin of a woman who has come back wrong, and she will never be the same again. She comes home to a husband and a child who don't know her, and she doesn't know them either. She loved them once, and they loved her. But now she's a stranger and she's broken, and nothing matters anymore. Nothing but killing Lucien at all costs. She can't love them the way she used to. Love is for people, and she's not a person. She doesn't know what she is besides her goal.
