I feel like SV girlies haven't seriously considered "codependent mutually obsessive JuliNemo" yet and that's a shame, really. I've seen a lot of wholesome ChampionRank (really cute but a rehash of every wholesome yuri I've ever seen, not much original content here and that's okay) and one-sided obsessive yandere!Nemona ChampionRank (REALLY do not like the villainization of Nemona's neurodivergence but eh, you can do whatever you want forever) but not as much "these two get on like a house on fire. and boy, it's dry season" ChampionRank.

Where is "battle-hungry socially starved trainwrecks who have no one but each other" JuliNemo. Where is "oh god these two exacerbate each others issues into the stratosphere and this can only end in disaster but I can't look away" JuliNemo. Where is "bringing out the worst in each other and scaring the hoes" JuliNemo. Where is "you two are perfect for each other. Never change, just never involve anyone else in any of this" JuliNemo. There's so much potential here. Toxic codependent yuri save me

#taillow #i do believe this was the first “normal/flying route-1 bird” pokémon that i ever saw. probably. i still don't know which pokémon game was my #first one between colosseum‚ diamond‚ and sapphire. all of which i still have the physical copies of to this day‚ but none of which still #have their original save files remaining on them. so i can't check the dates‚ otherwise i would #but my first pokémon game was One of those three. maybe i could ask my mom. like‚ hey‚ which one did i get first. maybe she'll remember #‘cause we always played pokémon colosseum together. she ended up thinking that that was the core series and the ones on handheld were #spinoffs because she thought the core series would be on home console. oh how naïve she was…… #ok i've texted her and asked her. i'm gonna add this one to the queue and start writing the tags for swellow while i wait for her response #and i'll come back and edit this one with the results. see you then #hi! i'm back. final verdict is that i got the game boy much sooner than the gamecube. i didn't know that but now i do. she got it at #a yard sale‚ so it came with a bunch of games on it‚ which is how i ended up with pokémon sapphire. thus‚ i played that first #however‚ i didn't get very far in it because the game i liked playing the most as a kid was tony hawk underground‚ which i also had #from the yard sale. and thus i remember pokémon colosseum much better‚ because i probably didn't even get to the first gym in sapphire #so that means this IS the first normal/flying route-one bird pokémon i ever saw. we did it #now i will take my meds

episode 5 has left me considering the different - and similar - ways taeyoung and kwonsook think about themselves, and how they respond to pain/violence.

kwonsook calls herself a monster, someone who goes crazy in the boxing ring. that monster, she says, was created by her father, and her father used abuse, violence, and emotional manipulation to create that monster. he didn’t treat her like human, so it’s no surprise that the way she talks about herself when she boxes is as if she’s discussing an animal: she gets cornered, gets scared for her life, and lashes out to kill. she calls herself a monster with resignation; it’s not what she wanted to be, but she knows it’s what she was. she ran away to escape that monstrosity, to live as a human, doing good things, but that part of her never really died.

taeyoung, too, calls himself a monster. he’s a SOB, he does thing no one with an ounce of humanity would do. he seemingly has no qualms about what he does, perhaps because he can always justify it to himself, always has an exit prepared for when things really get bad (until, i’m sure, he doesn’t). like kwonsook, taeyoung accepts the label of monster, accepts his own inhumanity, even if they are inhuman in very different ways. whereas kwonsook wants to break away from that monstrous part of her - she’s only returned so she can free herself from that part of herself permanently (and if she finds a way to box without a monster, then...) - taeyoung embraces it. it’s through being a monster that he’s found success, how he secures futures for his athletes, and how he’s able to ‘solve’ their (and his) issues. monstrosity was not imposed on taeyoung, but (due to what we know so far) is something he chose for himself (although the factors surrounding this part of his past are decidedly murky).

in this episode, taeyoung and kwonsook also demonstrate similar responses to violence and (emotional) pain. when taeyoung upsets kwonsook by working with her father behind her back, he offers her an outlet for her anger by punching him. later on, after ahreum has already slapped kwonsook, instead of lashing out, kwonsook offers to let ahreum hit her again if it will make her feel better. in parallel responses, both ahreum and kwonsook debate taking that opportunity to hurt, but decide not to (kwonsook because she’s taking a chance on taeyoung, or moreso giving him another one, and ahreum because she decides that she doesn’t owe kwonsook that, that kwonsook is beneath her in terms of boxing, no longer on her level). 

kwonsook learned to respond to pain at a young age. in boxing, you can’t flinch from the hit - you have to learn how to take the pain, absorb it, and get back up to hit again. outside of the rink, kwonsook absorbs the pain, but she doesn’t hit again. she’s experienced firsthand what her hits can do to people, and that terrified her. after all, she only boxed so that she could protect her mother. so when confronted with violence and pain, she takes the hit, because pain is what she knows and understands. it’s the emotions behind it that are hard for her. pain is easy for kwonsook, because she’s used to living through it, surviving it; beneath it, she’s always empty. she’s never really cared about boxing; it was what she had to do. the lee kwonsook that was a boxing genius was a monster she ran from, after all. but in order to break away from that monster, she has to come to understand the emotional investment of her fellow female boxers. before, they were just her opponents, never her friends, but now she has to face their own feelings about the sport, the passion they have for boxing that she never felt. like ara said, she didn’t feel happiness about winning, and kwonsook has never lost, so she’s never had to live with that humiliation, either. how her feelings will change in relation to boxing will likely be a reckoning for her.

taeyoung, on the other hand, is confronting his fair share of non-boxing sanctioned boxing. even though kwonsook is the boxer, it’s taeyoung who’s been touched by ‘true’ violence in this present timeline. his life is quite literally on the line, which has been shown again and again. he’s been ambushed by her father, threatened, blackmailed, and beaten up by chairman nam’s guys. he lives on the edge, anxious at every shadow, which is chewing him alive. to him, kwonsook’s anger is much easier to deal with. he knows she might hurt him, but his potential to hurt her is so much more (and if he does, in that case he’d find her anger justified, and probably let her beat him to death or something if what we’ve seen of his feelings for her is an indication of anything), and she might hurt him, but she’d never hurt him as much as other people in his life at the moment would (i.e. by killing him, or hurting the people he cares about). taeyoung is used to weathering the storm of other people’s dislike; he’s the scumbag, and he does bad things, deserves other people’s anger when it’s directed at him. 

both taeyoung and kwonsook want to resolve things through violence. i think it’s telling that despite being two emotionally aware people, they both consider other people’s feelings to be so easily taken care of. they want the quick, instant pain, and then they want to get it over with. because the violence is what they’re used to, and to a degree it’s what they both think they deserve. however, what lies beneath that, what doesn’t go away with a single hit, is much harder for them to confront and understand. 

#star stumbles #my lovely boxer #kdrama #my thoughts #in boxing you get hit and you hit someone else and whoever is still standing wins #and it's basically that way in the whole world of (physical) sports #and it's going to be so so good when they both end up embroiled in the very emotional situation that they both want to avoid at all costs #ie their feelings for each other / betrayal / broken trust / fear #i think i ended this poorly i kind of got distracted and honestly...honestly i don't KNOW what their response to violence really says #or how it's going to be played with throughout the drama #this text is the bare bones of what i can understand through what i've seen #and oh yes even though i know some people might argue that they're not emotionally aware i think they are... #both very emotionally mature. despite their actions they both know what's up in their hearts #and they're very adept at reading one another (or at least taeyoung is towards kwonsook i think she's getting there but she's also trying to #distance herself from him so. i do think she's ignoring some of what she'll probably reinterpret later on #nobody made taeyoung a monster he chose that path vs kwonsook left the path as soon as she was able to #and her getting punished for his bad deeds...even though at the end she admits they're both scumbags for going through with this deal #because she's understood that she'll hurt boxing whether good things come out of it or not #because she'll be disrespecting ahreum and everyone else by rigging the match and losing on purpose #which will probably add to her conflict later on #and taeyoung simultaneously struggles with not wanting to string her along vs stringing her along #because he's been upfront with her about how he's a bad person and she sees it too but ALSO #he can't bring himself to tell her some of the worst things because he wants her to see him differently #like he wants to act like a good person for her but also knows he needs her #honestly their relationship dynamic reminds me so much of my liberation notes #it's the ahjussi / disenchanted two people approaching each other and something ending up growing there where they thought nothing would #again

[aaternum]

The train is oddly crowded this morning, bodies packed tightly together, the conductor's voice distorted over the speakers as she squeezes through. It feels like it took ages to get here, legs moving to its own maddeningly slow beat. Feels like she’s late, but she can’t catch a breath to check her phone. She forces her way into a spot beside the corner seats, holding onto the metal strap as she tries to find the trains’ schedule on her phone. Maybe an alternative route would help her get out faster. But the screen won’t budge from the lockscreen’s time.

00:00.

Shit, maybe it was busted, that couldn’t be right. Her eyes quickly lift to the gentleman beside her, his phone’s outstretched in his palm as he reads something on his screen. Ah, she can’t see the print of the time from this angle. “  Hey, sorry, I – ” The  words die at her lips, her body jerking backwards when his faceless visage meets her own. It’s just an empty canvas of skin, all the hair over her skin standing at attention. Her mouth hangs, a strangled gasp withering in her throat as she stumbles back into the train’s walls. “   Wh–? ”  Panic grows fierce in her as she turns to find other individuals, someone else who sees what she does. But all she finds are a sea of vacant faces, faced towards her.

A scream works its way out her mouth as she turns around to escape to the next cart, shakily grappling at the door to make it through to the other side. But unlike the last cart, this one was disturbingly quiet, the advertisements against the walls and top borders a sea of eyes. And everyone is still. So still. The conductor's voice distorts and echoes. “   Do you remember me? I don’t want to be forgotten.  ” Dread wells in her stomach as every faceless reanimates and turns to her to stand. 

“   You promised … don’t forget me.   ”

The echoes continue, the voice a disembodied, discordant blend of hundreds of others. She can’t find her own voice, her own hands clawing to find her knife, a blade, something. But her pockets are empty. All she can find is her phone staring uselessly back at her. Slick with the blood between her hands. “  I - I remember.  ” She tries to say, but nothing comes out. She steps back shaking her head, trembling digits stained. In the corner she catches her reflection within the doors windows; her mouths missing. Bloodied fingers desperately claw at her throat and face in search of it. Her reflection ripples through the glass and extends its palms to wrap around her throat. She can't scream for help without a mouth. Without a voice. It feels like waters flooded in her lungs; drowning from within, nails digging into flesh in a silent plea for mercy. And as consciousness slips, her knees give out, darkness bleeding into her vision. There's a crowd of them now, empty faces, all watching on as she fades. The last hollow echo the only thing she can cling to.

“   We’re all forgotten here.   ”

Same anon- wasnt trying to imply that with blossom either! Just wanted to say that it could've been read that way and could be triggering to some, and the fact that no one speaks up felt off, even if its against the code. I've never read the more recent books either, so by the way the posts were spaced it felt like the series goes Df battle > Tempest > Ashfur in the span of a few moons, meaning blossom went from one horrible event to another and was still feeling isolated and shameful. Sorry if anything came off as confrontational or mean!

As for the 'why dont they leave?' thing, I think we all default to how Ravenpaw actually DOES leave and we just apply the same logic. As humans we naturally draw connections, and if we see a situation where a whole clan turns on one cat, we ask why didn't they just do what Ravenpaw (or Dovewing iirc) did and decide they can't deal with this and it's better to move on. It's a pattern that we itch to see fulfilled: Tigerclaw turns everyone on Ravenpaw so he leaves, Dovewing gets her whole clan telling her to do better so she leaves, Blossomfall gets named as a traitor and repeatedly gets dishonor titles to remind her of all her faults- why do cat not leave???

But yeah, if Blossom got to heal, i retract my statement entirely. I just was going off the logic that she felt isolated/cut off and that being told she's better off invisible would just shove her further into that belief. I do wanna ask, do you know what the thing Blossom spoke up about that got her slapped with the title?

Ah, I see! Let me clear up the order of events so far;

ThunderClan's Tempest, shortly after the Great Battle, dealing with the Clan moving on. Contains some parts of the canonical Dovewing's Silence but mostly Bramblestar's Storm

AVOS, with Blossomfall joining the Kin and being rescued sometime towards the end. Still working out some kind of incident where her kits are either stolen, or have to be retrieved-- the sire is not known

Squirrelflight’s Horror, a book about how Bramblestar turns a tense political situation into an excuse to leverage his power to abuse his deputy after feeling slighted.

TBC, which is at least a year after AVOS, with all of Blossomfall's children now being young warriors and her life coming back into order

So Blossomfall is having a pretty long journey here! Her life has been rocky and she can be a really nasty person, but she was brought back into ThunderClan because she is still loved. There are people who really want to see her get better.

And as for when she gets Clearface'd, I'm torn on it either being the first sign and SUPER shocking because it was just the normal amount of Blossom-sass, OR it coming right after the death of Bristlefrost and she argued that

"Bristlefrost was a codebreaker but who cares! She was a warrior of ThunderClan! There's no way that StarClan--"

And then interrupted and quashed with the title.

So, first option, to demonstrate Bramblefake's new level of malice at the earliest possible point and use Bristlefrost's death as the "turning point" of the arc where cruelty becomes violence,

Or, as a direct response to Bristlefrost's death, and the moment where there begins to be suspicion, because Bramblestar is NOT this good at naming.

#I like controversial girl characters a lot btw #With Dovewing also she is also a special case #She didn't have a ShadowClan to run to and didn't know if Tigerheart would even take her kits since they're Bumblestripe's #And she wanted to get away from her family #She she bolted in a random direction in panic LMAO go girl #Dovewing was willing to ACCEPT solitude not knowing the Guardians were thataways #She would have lived in the woods. At least until she had time to make a decision #But that's a really difficult choice to make logically #And comes from her resentment of Everyone at that moment #ShadowClan was disbanded at that time #And Raven? He's got it made thanks to Barley and the presence of a barn #Though the idea of Blossomfall straightup kicking Smoky out of his barn is very funny #'HEY THIS IS MY BARN-' #*Blossomfall throws him out a window* #That's pretty funny maybe she'll do that for the rebels later #'Hey guys idea. Instead of having rebel camp in the woods we go kick that loser out of his house' #Very Bloss thing to do tbh #'Wow that guy looks kickable. Hey Ivy how fast do you think I can make him cry' #I think in talking about how much she is hurting under it all I can end up obfuscating that she is Mean as a primary trait lmao #She's the meanest person in TC and passes the title back and forth with Berrynose like an Employee of the Month plaque #Mean people can be hurting though

!!!!!!!!! I don't want to turn my camera so people don't see Qiaoying Village (but these two are directly looking down to the village from atop a hill next to it) if they haven't seen it yet. Now, I know through Yelan's signature dish, that Yanshang has a delivery route directly to this village. Like I knew this, but seeing people here has me absolutely buzzing. Also, also, also, also, also. I'M BUZZING. BUZZING!! I'd put all of this under a read more, but I need it for the actual little spoiler tied to a HC (non-canon-based) at the bottom, so excuse my mania.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S CRUMBS OF MY GIRL. But also!!! This makes me so happy, it's not just a casino at night, it truly is a proper teahouse during the daytime. Aaaaaaa, I'm not a 'I'm right!!!' kind of person, but it's just... it's just nice to be like 'Okay, I'm on the right track' It's like a little confirmation that she clicks, and makes sense to me, you know? God, but also, I'm so proud. She's so multi-layered and multi-faceted and this is kicking so much more motivation into my heart even if I didn't need any more (and just need my brain to calm down after months of severe stress so I can focus), but god, she's just such a good one. I love her immensely, for so many reasons. But just, this whole thing isn't even ambition, because WE LITERALLY KNOW that she isn't ambitious per se (since she refused the position of Tianshu, even if part of the reason why is also because she doesn't want to be tied down to Liyue Harbor), she simply wants Liyue and its people to be safe (like so many who live in it, I LOVE THIS REGION WITH SUCH A BIG PART OF MY HEART, guys), it's also why she patrols the Chasm. Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Also, a little liberty of a HC that isn't tied to canon, and I wouldn't suggest peeking under the read more unless you don't care about very minor spoilers (it doesn't touch on the main SQ at all, it's tied to 'The Roaming Abode', ultimately tied to a house at a tiny distance from the village itself). So if you haven't played that specific WQ yet, don't peek! But, 1005 headcanon that Yelan has 'purchased' property here, and let me talk about it under the read more.

The Roaming Abode is a WQ that starts with a little girl who tells you that her grandfather has gone missing, or rather that he's gone to get 'blessed waters' from Mt. Xianluan for this 'divine plant' that he claimed he kept in his yard that needed that kind of water. Throughout this shorter quest, you learn that this man died (and you're left to question who the little girl is, or whether she's a little girl at all), and left behind a home in Qiaoying Village. This is what's said about both the man and his home by Uncle Luo:

Uncle Luo: He was an outsider, and we discovered that he was a bit... touched in the head the moment he arrived. He claimed that he'd picked divine herbs, but the pharmacy couldn't recognize them — much less buy them from him. Uncle Luo: But he had no other skills, and couldn't make the Mora needed to feed himself, so he had to knock on doors to ask for help. We took pity on him, and decided to feed him. His house was also built using Mora the villagers pooled together.

And then continues:

Uncle Luo: No one expected something that terrible to happen to him afterward, but once it did, everyone thought that this must've been him repaying us by protecting the village! Uncle Luo: Everyone thanked him, and thus people have been reliably caring for his own home. We're almost there, by the way.

This is the house, and the view from it. Now, I think most of us know that when a house isn't lived in, it'll inevitably fall into disrepair, no matter how much people may try to take care of its exterior and even cleaning inside if possible. A house needs to know the kind of maintenance that you can only truly give it when it's lived in. So, it's a little headcanon that as Yelan actually has a good tie to Qiaoying Village, and especially as she ages (and in my main verse, develops a tie to Fontaine), that she comes to negotiate and purchase this. Not out of greed whatsoever, but because she comes to thoroughly enjoy its environment (and if you know of her lines in the teapot, Yelan greatly enjoys tea drinking and the social aspect of it through which she learns about people), and also because it's a shame to let things get neglected to a point where they may perish at some point (I mean remember, most of Liyue consists of ruins). It's not a base of operation like Yanshang is, but it is simply a home, along with the one she has some distance away from Liyue Harbor, or she may simply replace one with the other.

Also, important to note: on top of all the above, this also works in the favor of the village in general, as now the cost of its maintenance will no longer have to keep coming from the villagers who take care of it (just like the mora to build it came from them), it will come from Yelan, which can be done through the likely decently substantial profits of Yanshang.

And to note: no, she doesn't 'take it over' as she did with Yanshang Teahouse, she literally purchases it, which also feeds money into the local community. Which is something that, based on the references above in terms of her character, Yanshang's new reputation, her loyalties, her foci— I'm confident in saying wholly fits her character.

I try not to be to focus on ships much cuz they really not and shouldn't be important at all but I really haaaaaate lord and miller for teasing the possibility of margo and miles when I know they're gonna most likely just gonna turn around and force him and gw*n together despite everything that's...not good about that ship, thus making margo into the disposable black love interests which many black female characters sadly fall victim too 😔

#I have to keep in mind these are cishet WHITE men first and foremost so i shouldn't get my hopes up #But...it just hurts to imagine how margo will be treated by them and I'm scared for it #Because the fandom already treats her like shit and overlook and ignore or hate her #And I don't trust them to give her a proper arc or exploration either I just can't trust them at all #Like my biggest fear is she'll be used as a tool or an obstacle to push fuckass gwiles together and just...ughhhh makes me #Mad just thinking about it cuz 1 I know they not gonna shelf the yt girl in favor of the black one because again #these are WHITE MALES #2 they wouldn't force gwiles down out throats so much if nothing was gonna come of it (ew) no matter what that may be sooooo #Just makes me sad but...who knows maybe I'm wrong and they'll end up surprising me but the bar and my faith in them is extremely low #Atsv critical #Ship critical #Ship hate

I found a caterpillar at the grocerystore I work at, about a month ago.

#I wasn't sure wether she might be an invasive species so i kept her with me until I knew more wich ended up being 1 day bc. she immediately #pupated after eating tons of cabbage #turns out she's a cabbage white butterfly wich are native to my home #bc. she lived in room temperatures and pupated before i had a chance to acclamate her to colder weather #she had to stay indoors with me out of fear she would not have the coding to go to sleep once in her chrysalis #Which would have meant she'd freeze if I put her outside #She hatched and seems healthy albeit a fussy eater but she's only 2 days old #Still I feel so sad and dreadful knowing that because of my interference she will never see spring #Cabbage whites overwinter in their chrysalis and they only live for 2-3 months #She will never know hunger or fear for her live in the gaze of a predator #she'll never know cold or harm but she will also never know what it's like to recognize herself in another like her #she'll never know family she'll never know fields and the sky and what it's like to fly without a limit to how far she can go #Death will come before spring arrives

rant

#i am sooooo annoyed with my flatmate #who never cleans or does anything for the household or rather her idea of 'cleaning' is wiping down the surfaces maybe twice a year #never cleans the kitchen surfaces after cooking except she only does a mass meal prep like once a month and then leaves a mess #while knowing that i always clean after myself and i cook like every other day so i end up hacving to clean her mess too #because if i point it out she'll be like oh it wasn't me #we only have one other housemate but they're a postgrad who is rarely home and mainly eats ready meals #seriously this person is disgusting like they will leave a pile of dirty dishes for weeks #and they even leave the sink dirty after washing the dishes??? #like i get that you don't always have time or energy to do chores because of mental health or studies #but this person dropped out of uni like she isn't even studying meanwhile i have four exams to study for rn #i just think that when you're living with other people you have to put an effort to keep communal spaces clean and be considerate #like i've been cleaning the bathroom almost all the time this semester so i finally asked her to do it and she said she'll do it today #i got home and she only bleached the toilet so i was like how come you didn't clean the sink? #and she was like oh i just bleached the toilet so now i'm taking a break and watching a youtube video :) #like?????????? and then she never continued the cleaning?????????? #she also keeps wearing shoes indoors like idc if ahe wears shoes in her room but i've said again and again to please not wear shoes indoors #in the hallway/kitchen/bathroom because it's disrespectful in my culture (and we have CARPETED floors) #and she keeps doing it and even steps inside my room with shoes #or when the other day i was sweeping the kitchen floor and she just walked in with her shoes and didn't even more away when i was cleaning #my good friend actually lived here too before she got fed up with this person and moved away #because this person lied to us so much about how often they clean things and basically gave the wrong impression #she also broke my spatula and lied about it and ate my friend's food and lied about it and used up my ingredients and lied about it #and also complained behind my back that i was 'so annoying' for not answering the intercom when HER packages were being delivered??? #and she claimed that i was cranking up the energy bill because i keep the heating in my room at a normal level during winter #because she likes to keep her room freezing cold and she also keeps her room in pitch darkness and would complain #that me having the lights on in my room like a normal person increases the energy bill??? like yeah that's literally what i'm paying for? #she also got mad at me for throwing out a literally MOLDY sponge because she was 'still using it' like FOR THE DISHES? THAT WE EAT FROM??? #i am so sick and tired of this person i cannot wait to move out in 3 weeks

i wish i could go back to the times where she's just a measly brat who hinders yato from being with yukine and hiyori

because now i feel nothing but the need to protect her and give her the world >:(

#oh my sweet child #i know how she'll end up but come on :( #IF ANYTHING ALL SHE DESERVES IS A TINY WOOP THEN INTENSIVE THERAPY #and a soft bed and hiyori's warm hugs #AAAAAHHHH #please don't let her die #noragami #noragami spoilers

cannot relate to anyone who willingly tells authority figures things. or who just...volunteers information to them without being asked?? bitch if they want to know anything, they can come to me. this mouth stays closed unless it's forcibly pried tf open and even then the words are shoved through eight different filters before they come out, perfectly form-fitted to whichever Person With Power Over Me is fucking asking. be smart about it! grow up!

#personal #is this a trauma response? probably. but i am adept at the art of keeping things Hushed & Handled so no one even /knows/ to ask questions #which is probably called Deception lmao but hey it means i don't have to lie to get out of things bc there /are/ no things u feel me? #anyways. i have this lovely kind coworker with such an open heart that always wants to do the right thing #so she'll 'follow up' with clients abt situations and then they end up yelling at her or cussing her out #and i wanna be like babe. Babe. just bc you are kind and wonderful it doesn't mean the ppl we work for are too. #they view us like the dirt beneath their feet and they're gonna act accordingly so you gotta.......shut your mouth #'being responsible' is nothing.....let them come to /you/ #communication should be kept to a minimum and only consist of what they specifically asked for bc they have power and you don't #please. pleASE. #anyways. #one time i had a Situation at work that i needed to navigate with the best of my 'abused kid who learned to hide everything' skillz #and i'm just...going on my merry way slogging through 73 layers of shit and Angles and cooking up how to get the exact results i want #and the coworker with me at the time is watching me in a mixture of horror and awe like 'i feel like i'm witnessing the zodiac killer rn' #and i wasn't like 'hahaha no this is just years of childhood trauma :)' but it was a close thing #...oh i succeeded at the situation btw #of course. bc i'm a pro.

#the good thing about the whole dwd holivia florence vs miss cockburn shitshow is that everyone already knows #how much of a narcissistic asshole miss cockburn is #she can do this article and a thousand others but like she'll always be remembered for her deranged ness #and how awkward the venice premier was #like if she truly thinks anyone is gonna defend her or pick her side after how florence has reacted (or rather non reacted) #then she really is naïve and narcissistic and doesn't realise just how respected florence is in the industry #like if she thinks she can do anything to spin the shia begging video.....oh boy do we have some news for her #the only people who will even half believe her are het fans who think he's actually dating her and once he ''breaks up'' with her #they'll drop it too #at this point there is so much dignity in her just accepting this mess and laying low for a while and coming back with a project #that's actually good enough to salvage her career #like. sorry but her career is effectively down the drain #anyways i can not wait to see all the comments under the article be some version of ''can she just shut up no one cares'' #and also the tracksuit is making me LAUGH like she thinks she's cute but she's just desperate #it's about to end isn't it for her to be scrambling so hard to make a song that was written in 2018/19 about her #anyways. miss cockburn has a special place in hell where she and her narcissism can burn and rot

Asleep/Unconscious/Comatose "Oh my god. Clint? Hi, Clint?" (also for Clint wow picturing. TK doesn't have anyone else's number and Clint's phone was destroyed so it's only TK in the hospital room 😭)

“…TK?”

Groggily, he tried to take in the room. It was too bright, everything was a little fuzzy around the edges, and he was struggling to focus on anything for longer than two seconds at a time, but he tried. Something was wrong. Something was really wrong, here. He wasn’t sure where he was, or what had happened, or what exactly was going on, but he knew that much.

Natasha. Coulson. Kate. Cap. Their faces floated sluggishly through his mind. He should be seeing one of them, shouldn’t he? TK wasn’t the one that was supposed to be here with him.

Not that he wasn’t happy to see TK, but shouldn’t someone else at least be here too?

“Where…wha’s…?” With a groan, his eyes squeezed shut. He lifted a hand to rub at them, only to feel something tug. Furrowing his brow, he looked down, stared at his hand—something was sticking out of the back of it. A long, skinny tube disappeared under some tape, the other end attached to…something. Clint frowned. What was that doing there? Things didn’t belong in his hands.

Wordlessly, he moved to pull it out.
