#got hit in the face with Life

[fluff-writing]

TGF AU "I've got one word for you- sing-along!"

Leah stares up at her uncle, all but shoving his guitar into his arms. Her own is strapped to her back.

"Isn't that two words?" Inarius snarks from somewhere to the side.

"No one asked you Inarius." Leah brightly replied. "C'mooon Tyrael we haven't played together in forever."

"Right now though?" Tyrael runs a hand over the body of his instrument, sounding doubtful. They're only taking a break from their journey through Aranoch's sands, and who knew what sorts of dangers could be lurking around the corner...

"It would be a nice change of pace." Li-Ming speaks up.

"Please?" Leah stared up at the angel, face hopeful. She plucked out a few notes on her own guitar, carefully tuning the strings. "Just a few songs."

"Maybe just a few..." Tyrael let his hands slide into position, and plucked out matching chords to Leah's notes. "What would you like to sing, my dear?"

"Hmm...Dear God?" Carefully, Leah strummed till she'd found a good rhythm, and started playing the opening strain. After a moment, Tyrael joined in, following her rhythm.

Together, they played.

Hey! i’m really into the dbch story and i was wondering if doc and xisuma ever tell bdubs the specifics of why etho lost his memories, cause if they do that is prime self blaming angst for bdubs

I’m inclined to believe they don’t. Actually (and maybe I should do a small comic for this so more people see it) I imagine, once a month or a few pass and they finally return etho to bdubs as reset, I imagine they are VERY serious about warning bdubs not to try to force Etho to re-deviate— they don’t go into specifics, but they probably tell bdubs that whatever happened had to do with something that was emotionally overwhelming, and that forcing him to redeviate/not letting it happen naturally could trigger the same error. They have no idea what could happen so bdubs needs to be very careful and let Etho find himself again on his own.

Whether or not bdubs gets impatient or can only go so long before he doubts it would be that bad if he tried pushing Etho in the right direction is another story.

But yeah. I don’t think Xisuma or Doc really… tell anyone that this happened. Etho’s error seemed like a very specific one-off scenario, so it’s not something the other hermits should be trying to avoid or be careful about happening to their own android friends, and the only thing telling people would do is make them worried about the situation. All they need to know is that etho was broken and that they need to be careful with him. I don’t agree with their decision to keep what happened to themselves but I understand it I think. Xisuma “i don’t want to worry the hermits” Void and Docm “eh this isn’t the first time I’ve replaced this arm, people won’t question it” 77

#that’s a lie actually I think xisuma ends up telling Cleo :> #but only because Cleo is very smart and I think they should be close in this au :] #but no she would clock Tired Overworked Existential Crisis Xisuma in an instant #Cleo calls them both idiots and gives them big hugs and tells them they need therapy. also that they’re welcome by her place anytime to talk #it’s very sweet and healing to me #this is where “all things end’’ on Xisuma’s playlist comes in actually #oh my god I got so off topic #BDUBS IS GOING TO FEEL GUILTY NO MATTER WHAT THOUGH #like okay. technically #the reason etho shut down is because he was freaking out that everything was his fault #(last life—not giving bdubs a heart— trying to win for bdubs and then losing— coming back to s8 feeling like he can’t face bdubs—> #ending up leaving him alone when the moon hit #and bdubs was hurt by these things. no doubt #but bdubs just wants his friend back and maybe he’s a little reckless about it #bdubs hides his emotions behind cartoonish frustration and complaining but he feels bad #he feels like he should be doing more to ‘save’ etho and bring him back even though he was to #told* he shouldn’t #dbhc ask #dbhc #dbhc bdubs #dbhc etho #dbhc doc #dbhc xisuma #ask #anon

Willow🥺 are we taken because of connection to dynamite or just wrong place wrong time??

I hope it's the former, because if it's explicitly because of him, I don't know if his heart can handle it 🥺🥺

i do think.........that we were targeted 🥺🥺🥺 i was trying to allude to it a lil, when talking about his frustrating patrol 🥺 they chased a guy all the way across the city and still never found his partner—bc his partner was busy snatching us up from the station !!!!!

i think he definitely feels guilty in a way, bc they're taking you to get to him, but also—he lives in a world and works in an occupation where people are hurt and killed every day from villains and criminals, sometimes just bc they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. so while i think it does eat him up that this hurt is meant for him and they're taking it out on you—honestly i think it just really pisses him off LOL

he's kinda like. oh you think so huh you stupid fuck ??? 💀💀💀💀 you think you're gonna get away with this do you ??? you want to go there with me ??? 💀💀💀 like he's sooooooo. would probably beat this guy's face in LOL like he's PISSED. you want a reaction from him YOU'RE GONNA GET ONE GOD DAMN IT.

#like do not get me wrong this is going to haunt him for the rest of his life #the feeling of knowing he might lose you/might have already bc of your relationship with him #but i do think that he's level-headed enough to know like. this is the work of an evil person #he's just so fucking mad like you're gonna take it out of my fucking partner dude ??? 🤨🤨🤨 grow some balls and face me yourself #LOL #i mean he does go through a whole staring at the wall disassociation moment bc they took you bc of him #but honestly i dont think that would hit until he got you back #he's too worked up right now lol #✿ ask willow #✿ thoughts: bakugou #✿ theme: y/n napped

Jason never got to be 16. makes me sad.

Not to deny that Jason not being able to make it to 16 in his first life is sad, but I mean he did technically end up making it, and he made it to 17 and 18 and 21 and so on and so forth, it just happened "in round two" so to speak.

What I think is sadder though, is that depending on whether he was 15 or 14 years old when this happened:

There are one of two ways he would've spent his sixteenth year.

Option 1 (if he was 15 at the time of his ressurection):

(This is 1 year post initial hospitalization)

Or Option 2 (if he was 14 at the time of his ressurection):

(And this is 2 years post initial hospitalization, 1 year post escape from that facility)

Happy sweet 16th, Jason John Doe #265 :)

Batman Annual (1961-) #25

#edit: phrasing #if he got the chance to go back Jason very likely would have chosen to have never made it to 16 at all #he did mention this verbatim more than once in comics that postdate this one too #his imposter syndrome also appears to be getting more and more severe in each new comic #in conclusion what's sadder is both that he *did* make it to 16 and it was a fate worse than staying dead #*and* that it was never his choice #also part of why I love ditf-Jason so much. it’s about how downright suicidal he is in like every branch #kelseethe #as far as Jason is concerned he got hit by that car within moments of being pulverized exploded and buried #not six months #kinda crazy isn’t it #a bit off-topic but isn't it cathartic how Jason briefly brought stability and order to his beloved Gotham (via harm reduction methods) #after he lived a life full of instability uncertainty and chaos most of which started in Gotham #and Gotham immediately took what little stability he got back/still had away from him as soon as he faced Bruce (talking abt batman 650) #he's just in a constant cycle of trying to help gotham while gotham just cuts his legs out from underneath #<- anyway there's what you get when you send Kelsey an ask #a “mhm yeah anyway *I*-” response lol

No no I promise I fixate on the Bad Batch for perfectly normal reasons nothing is wrong with my family at all I had a great childhood i swear

#my mother never hit me and then insisted she didn't ten years later whilst loudly condemning anyone who hits their child #i was never emotionally manipulated and gaslit for 21 years of my life and counting #i was never raised solely as an investment to fund my mother #and treated like dirt on her shoe when i didn't want to follow the life she picked out for me #she never admitted to my face i'm an investment #i never had to sit on the stairs listening to my parents screaming at each other #i was never treated like i wasn't there #never unofficially banned from seeing my granddad for years as a kid and never not told the reason why #because my mother got jumpy about me getting just that little bit too close to him #closer than i was to her #never not allowed a phone till i was 18 #never told i wasn't allowed a bank account either #never had to fight to do the degree i wanted rather than something i knew for a fact would kill me #never had my laptop purged at 16 and every one of my private files gone through and deleted by my mother #because i wanted to write stories #never treated like i'd committed a crime for it #the one person in this fucking godforsaken family who was worth staying for never died #never homeschooled as a child and told to lie to anyone who asked that i went to school #just so she could keep me fully trapped under her thumb #nothing ever went wrong with my family #vent

.

spent all afternoon with my family getting ready for the funeral sunday. acutely reminded that they’re all, particularly my sister, under the impression i am a robot who has no feelings and no problems and lives in a rainbow castle full of sunshine and sparkles and nothing is ever difficult or stressful or traumatizing for me.

that was. great.

#gav gab #my sister said to my face. to my FACE. that the problems in our family #and this is a direct quote #skipped me and hit them twice #which they were referring in that moment specifically to addiction issues #but makes for a very neat summary of how they view me in general #they have every problem and i have none #lucky bastard that i am i dodged all of it! haha how great! of course i’m fine I’m always fine #which is just #1. how the fuck would they know #they don’t know basic information about me or my life and that’s one hell of an assumption #2. addiction is a spectre that has haunted my entire life even if ive never actively had substance abuse problems myself #it’s almost like i got terrorized by our father while he was on drugs and drunk all the time #and they don’t remember any of that because they were too little and it didn’t fucking happen to them #and I’ve been petrified of touching any of it ever since #HM! IMAGINE! #idk how to even tag this sorry #abuse cw #death cw

Sometimes I fear nothing will make me feel quite as free and happy as I did during youth group hours in middle school/ high school. Like. When else am I going to build a 'tank' of found items and then through recycling at people? When else am I going to cry laughing at 'jousting' that results exactly as should be expected (someone thrown backwards and getting the wind knocked out of them) followed by the 'safer' version (not on wheels) ending exactly as should be expected (a dented colander and a teenage boy vehemently saying they never want to do that again)? Spanish inquisition?? Sneaking up into the tower?? Watching I Am Legend in the sanctuary?? That time a kid ran across the TOPS of every pew during some version of tag and everyone just froze to watch him do it????

#The time our youth leader had us walk backwards on a balance beam blindfolded while people threw dodgeballs #At us. And he got hit in the face while refereeing and came in #The next week and told us he'd had to pull over in his way home because his eye was crying???? #Band class was crazy but your group was on another level (the best level) #My home I can't really ever return to #The time we had to convince our youth director that playing dodgeball in the sanctuary was a TERRIBLE idea????? #What a fucking joy that part of my life was. I'm so glad I knew it was special at the time

sick sick sick of the way medical professionals use their authority to push beauty standards

when I was a young teen, around 14 years old, my doctor asked at my regular checkup if I wanted him to prescribe something for my acne. I told him no, it’s just a few pimples scattered around, it’s pretty mild and they don’t hurt, they don’t bother me. he tried to push the issue and it took me saying no multiple times for him to let it go.

a few years later, a different doctor recommended me, unprompted, a lightening cream for stretch marks on my hips. I told her I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my stretch marks and I don’t want any product to “treat” them. she plowed on through, telling me more about the product and where I could get it. this wasn’t even a prescription or anything that could have any financial kickback to her in any way even if there were shady under-the-table deals going on, just an over-the-counter cream I’d have to go find and buy myself. I told her no, no, I don’t want it five times before she stopped pushing it.

recently, at a dentist appointment, the assistant asked me if I’d ever noticed my teeth aren’t perfectly white. I said yeah I’ve noticed, is there a problem with them? are they healthy? he said oh no, there’s no problem, they’re perfectly healthy, they look like that naturally. I said ok then, as long as they’re healthy I don’t care. he then spent the next 5 minutes telling me all about some whitening product I could go get at any drugstore to make them whiter, despite my repeated protestations that I don’t want it.

i’m a human i get pimples sometimes i have stretch marks and my teeth don’t gleam perfectly white leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone

#when i needed surgery the assistants spent more time assuring me that the scar would be easily covered by clothes #than they did talking about how the area would feel and progress as it healed #when I got hit by a car‚ leaving scars on my cheek‚people expressed more pity for 'marring your appearance for life' #than for any other more important consequence #i don't want your fucking beauty standards and i'm steering clear of them just fine. don't shove them in my face #leave me the fuck alone #an e original

i pass pretty much all the time but hm. ive heard interesting stuff from drunk ppl i know who dont know im trans

#''haha when my bf was talking about you and i asked to see a picture he showed me one and i was like... is that right? bc i thought that was #a girl in that pic. i mean only bc i didnt expect him to have any girlypop friends haha'' #yeah i mean that is an average thing to say and not mean or anything but it hits a bit different when im trans #i mean the person saying that didnt know and if they did they would have never said anything like that #but it's still a bit. hmmm. #also the topic of my looks came up and it's funny how everyone thinks i'm cute #i wish i could b masc hot but im fine with being cute. not everyone can look good the same way #but like it's so common for the only compliment transmascs get being ''cute'' for various reasons but i think in my case it's just my #wavy hair and slight babyface and round features #which yeah ok whatever i'm still young - ive got plenty of time to start looking less like a boy and more like a man #as in even if i was a cis guy id look pretty much like this #though! im only 2 years on t so i cant wait what the future holds for how i'll look :3c #well almost 2 and a hlaf but yknow #also i have a slight. can i say this. ''tranny voice'' which. slay. but i was told i ''sound like a femboy'' which #once again super funny that ppl say that stuff bc they genuinely cant tell im trans #the only reason i pass is bc i get read as [justin mcelroy voice] kinda faggy #oh that guy over there with wide hips and feminine manners and voice and small feet and hands [compared to cis men] with an apparently cute #face who doesnt seem to know anything about stereotypical guy stuff? thats a cis man #and i love that #but also one of these ppl is not cis #if you saw me irl you'd know im insanely easy to clock for trans people #but yeah whatever im just amused by all this it's kind of fun having ppl not know im trans #but also i have a new friend who doesnt know and i think i should let him know at some point if it comes up bc idk man. it feels like im #living a secret life or something. like obviously no one has the right to know im trans but. i can make the choice of wanting someone toknow #but also hes my only guy friend who lives in this city. well technically not the only one i have another friend but we never hang out irl. #anyways i dont want to ruin our broship #i dont think itd get ruined and if it did itd just mean whatever but im still scared #agh idk #leevi talks

[psychoticwillgraham]

they hate me for my alt butch swag (they being teenagers in the coffee shop and ridiculing me bc i look sick as fuck)

#got the idea to start doing more silly pics where I’m making faces #and looking stupid on purpose bc all of my childhood pics of me #i always had a smile on my face and always pulling cringey faces to the camera #and once u hit my teen years in the old stuff there’s barely any pics of me in general #and when there is they’re just me in an awkward smile #but u can tell I’m dead inside in them #barely remember my entire life except for small periods time and insignificant moments #but now that I’m as stable as I’m ever gonna be and I’m sober #and free of the bonds from my life before grandma died #i can find reasons to smile and be silly and make good memories #so at least i can remember some moments where i was genuinely happy #and happy to be alive #got real sappy there oops

How do you think Kusuo would react when faced with the death of someone?

Say something unexpected happens. One of his friends are walking around the city and crosses the street but a car ends up running a red light and effectively kills them. It’s unpredictable, no one foresaw it occurring, and it just happens suddenly, and maybe Kusuo wasn’t aware that it happened, or was too late to prevent it.

And per Kusuo’s explanation in the episode when he turned Nendo to stone, you can’t restore someone if their dead, once they’re dead they’re dead. And of course there’s time travel but there’s all kinds of unforeseen consequences that come with that and as we already know, it doesn’t always work and give you the timeline you desire.

And don’t get me wrong I think he would absolutely try. I think he would break himself down trying to fix it. Knowing Kusuo, he often puts too much responsibility, burdens, and guilt upon himself, and even if there was nothing he could’ve done about it and it was in no way his fault, he would absolutely take it to heart and it would break him.

Because’s he’s the one with all of these omnipotent powers and he’s the one who should’ve been able to do something and he’s the only one that could’ve but he wasn’t able to and his friend is gone.

And he would end up crawling back into his shell of isolation that he spent so long breaking free of and it would probably be worse than it ever was before. And of course his friends would visit him and try to encourage him to come out but at this point he won’t hear them out, and doesn’t think he deserves to have friends, because in the beginning it was the worry of attention and hurting them but at least then he could still protect them, however now he’s convinced that he can’t, so why bother.  He doesn’t say anything about the situation to anyone, and he’s officially closed himself off from the world again.

Kusuo goes to the funeral and stands quietly in the back but quietly leaves halfway through the session and goes home because it hurts too much to watch.

And he would stay alone.

Unfortunately for him, his friends are persistent, and they would come knocking on his door all the time and Kusuo gets so frustrated with them because they just don’t get it and why won’t they leave him alone and why can’t they understand he doesn’t want to be around anyone because he can’t hurt anyone if he avoids everyone.

But they keep coming and Kusuo’s having a mental battle between telling them about his powers or not, because if he did they might be able to finally understand and get it if he told them it was all his fault and they’d finally leave him alone.

And so he does, he eventually explodes on his friends ranting and crying and finally letting out all the emotions he’s held back all this time about everything and they all stand there and watch as one of their most resolute strong-willed friends effectively crumbles before their eyes.

and it’s heart wrenching and terrible to watch because all this time he’s felt this way and he has so much on his shoulders and they never knew, and honestly how could they?

But no one should be surprised when nobody reacts with hatred like he thought possible and instead all huddle up together, everyone in tears now, with the sole goal of just comfort.

So they learn about his past and hear his stories and slowly but surely they build Kusuo back up again.

#just a little bit of angst for yall bc i got bored #and just thought about the relationship kusuo would have with the concept of death #would you believe me if i told you i wrote most of that on a whim #i don't know where half of that came from but i like it so were gonna keep it ig. #it's definitely smth to think about and not something i've seen people write often about #but there's been a lot of psychoanalyzing going around on my feed and i thought i could hit it where it hurts #he just carries so much dude #and just loves his friends #i can absolutely see self-isolation as a form of self punishment or sabotage #theres also the concept of saiki facing death himself #which is something i also plan on looking deeper into #anyways #hope u enjoyed it <3 #saiki k #disastrous life of saiki k #the disaster of psi kusuo saiki #saiki #kusuo saiki #writing #death #saiki no psi nan #angst

Something that could reasonably happen in real life while still being mildly unreasonable #yk? #nothing i could go out on the street and see or whatever . But it would be funny if I did #i think i need to go read some good fantasy books though fantasy is such a goated genre #the . The potential....... #also needs 2 be a story about people but if the people are completely uninteresting and flat Well #but beyond that it needs to have those themes and motifs shit and they need to be Not In Your Face #i think mystery is pretty fun like in concept but i haven't read very much . Good mystery as of late #ROMANCE would be so baller if it wasn't so about romance yk. Which is just a me problem #i think romance has insane potentials to explore a person's psych and whatever but it just. Never hits for me. #and sometimes it's not even a romance book and like they jsut start going at it like come on now.
