#like homest to god

[cinnabeat]

wow.........i wonder why you have such perfect memory of a book series you read five volumes of............thats such a mystery........im sure this will never come up again later.........

#im reading tcf again now #or well im gonna try #we'll see how far i get before i get bored #not bc it sucks bc it doesnt its just very hard for me to reread things #especially if i like them and theyre long lmao #but we'll see #im just excited to see how many hints of cales fucked up everything are scattered in here lmao #and also i need to remember the plot #and also catch up to pt2 #i think cjs actually finally homest to god showed up and im excited to see it #but also i need my alberu (and by extension taerang) crumbs #which is so tragic that taerang is so far away rip #michi tag #this is so funny tho like lmao i love how cale mentions weird shit like this and i just??? NEVER NOTICED???? #i think i was partially blinded by the fact most isekai stories i find arent as intricate #but also i just genuienly dont notice shit like rhis it does not register as odd in my head

[fandomsnfluff]

Ok so just like a check in post. How have you been? Things have been scary lately and I wanted to see if you were ok

hey friend, yeah i guess things have been all right. i'm not sure what you'd mean by 'things have been scary lately' unless if you're referring to the terrifying uptick in anti-queer legislation and activity in america but if so then god yeah it so has been. in fact i'm kinda worried about my trip to california this summer because of it and i wanna make sure i talk to my mom before we book a flight so we don't have a layover in any hostile states (which tbf is my biggest concern cuz as far as i know cali and many of the big cities like LA and san fran which is where i'm gonna be are relatively accepting). but yeah it's terrifying on my personal end as well because never before have i experienced this kind of jet-black anger like this before and i kinda don't know how to deal with it. just goes to show that i should've never given up on going to therapy. but yeah that's where i'm at rn and i appreciate the check-in <3

#noah rambles #anonymous #tw: current events #apparently it's three out of fifty states that are 100% clean of any anti-queer bills this year 🙃🙃🙃 #INCLUDING MY FUCKING STATE WHICH DESPITE HAVING DECLARED ITSELF A SANCTUARY STATE #HAS A BILL ON THE DOCK WHICH COPIES THE EXACT LANGUAGE OF THE FL DON'T SAY GAY BILL #i'm like 99% sure it won't pass given the nature of my homestate and its legislature but GOD #does it make me FURIOUS that anyone would even have the SPINE to suggest such a thing here #i can't wait to see all of em have their sorry asses laughed out of the room as it's trashed #ask

should i sell tickets to when i fistfight my coworker who came to work sick and made ME sick? do you think the merch would sell if i advertise the poison damage I'll be dealing thru coughing on my fists as an aesthetic? my stage name can be venom or something and snakeskin print is all the rage these days, plus i look dashing in poison green and it's all very slytherin don't you think-

#she would kick my ass fr shes a foot taller than me #BUT the point is i am sick and angry and miserable #and my on again off again ex is texting me again reminding me why we go on again #and honestly? he would cuddle me through this cause hes a freak and would get off on the power imbalance of me being sick and needy #god i hate him i want to kiss him i want to kill him- #hes moving back to our homestate and i miss him miss him miss him so much why is he like this why cant i get rid of him- #what does it mean when a man asks u to marry him and neither of u know if its meant ironically or not? #hannah talks

its me again, dropping some sunday haino doodles for random au in my brain. so here you go, deshret's grand scribe alhaitham and general mahamatra/priest cyno. get your daily dose of verbal spats, court shenanigans

random assortion of thoughts under more

political drama but there are also gods

codepended coworkers ('how am i supposed to go through another court session and general is on the week long mission again)

Cyno was killed in one of solo missions, but he made pact with Hermanubis, he brought him back to life. Cyno almost died and was washed up by the river, miraculously.

As for the pact - after Cyno's actual death, for every year alive due to this blessings, he will serve as guide for the souls and one of judges of the underworld. He does not regret choosing this pact with the god, when he was stuck in the limbo between life and death.

Cyno has a terrible scar hidden under his choker, he doesn't show it to anyone. Also he used to have dark hair, like Kasala, but after the incident his hair turned white. So he has somewhat unique standing in the order of silence.

alhaitham was the grand scribe for some time and suddently king deshret made him actually come to all court sessions and make notes

cyno and alhaitham do not get along - until they do and they make it everyone elses problem. if you can stand by the side on the court session and make snarky comments its true love

something something, love so raw and consuming; cyno considering himself walking corpse alive due to miracle, so why he should allow himself more? and if he loves and he is loved back, then what if the blessing is gone. why would he want to cause pain to the alhaitham, when the inevitable might right by the corner. what would it mean to allow that love to overflow

he doesn't want to, yet he does.

and so after paricular bloody fight, he again finds himself by the scribe's homested. he did it once before and haitham welcomed him in without a word, patched him up. so here he is again, because this place is so much better.

and haitham takes him in, as he would always let him in. to his home. to bring the pieces of cyno back together. to mend the wounds. because cyno is bigger than life, feared and revered. but he bleeds the same, hurts the same and haitham will be there to catch him when he falls on his carpet.

and then he will ask where this dance of theirs leads to. and ask cyno to take pity on his heart. and say that he loves him because its cyno and all of him makes it worth it.

Finished Harrow the Ninth

This one had so much more going on tham GtN, massive change in scale, despite taking an almost identical form factor. I used to be frustrated by this style but now I like stories that take a while to run through what is effectively setup, placing all the pieces where they are needed for a big dramatic finish. Reminds me of a lot of things but most stupidly: Portal? Which is a game that is ⅞ths tutorial. Also of The Left Hand of Darkness, which is I suppose ⅞ths tutorial for Genly.

Names take on a LOT of importance in this book, absolutely everything is dripping in entrenched meaning, much like Mithraeum itself I guess. For a story that has to basically avoid using Gideon's style of narration for most of the book, it manages to still have fun text to read. None House With Left Grief. Augustine and Mercymorn really chew some scenery.

Not sure if this is just me scoring 0 for reading comprehension, but the mysteries felt very strangely paced. A lot of questions were proposed very early on (who is A.L., what the hell has Harrow done to herself, what is going on in the alternate past with all the dead characters, etc.) but the clues for solving these tend to get dumped on you in pretty rapid succession, so you go from "well that's an interesting question" to "oh good you're giving me some leads" to solving it five pages later both in text and for yourself. Weird.

John Gaius Summary:

John is a fantastic character, what a huge dick. Manipulate Mansplain Malewife Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss. He's your dad. He's god. He's killed billions. He likes tea. He's an imperialist warlord. He's bisexual. He wants what's best for you. He can turn you into vapour. He's just some guy.

Need to go read the Nona excerpt and the Study of Doctor Sex.

There's a lot more metatext-ish stuff going on, especially in the alternate history segments, which are very reminiscent of the Act 6 dream bubbles from homestuck, and really, given that once again all the characters are kind of crammed together in a fortress, aren't they all homest-[WHO KEEPS GIVING THAT GUY THE COMICALLY OVERSIZED SHEPHERD'S CROOK]

[knowlessman]

bonko no honko I ran out of good jokes a long time agodemia (bnha)(if I ever had any) s3e1-3

(I forgot about the prequel minisodes but I'm already here, maybe I'll watch them later idk)

ooh this OP's got a pi-aner in it. I dig it. some of the opening bits sort of reminded me of homest - why is bakugo swole wtaf

(void teleport business slenderfrend watching all might on tv) patrick star: I hate this channel -- why IS slendervoid so fucking dapper tho

"worst character? worst-character-in-training?"

…"Vlad" has orc fangs instead of vamp fangs : \ huh

there's that "be a fuck[bleep]ng superstar" thing again. it's so jarring every time -- (going down the list of all of Class A's quirks) …like, yes, we do know all these things already, and it is recycled footage, but I'm not finding that I mind it -- I knew they weren't gonna do the same for Class B's but. I mean. idk

"you said you were gonna use the pool for endurance training, right?" already hovering finger over the right arrow key -- breaking news: anime school has girl's swimsuits that are actual clothes. granted, figures it'd only be for a joke

guy with literal jet engines in his legs: hey, who wants to do a race? -- oh come on, none of you are even touching the water -- iida you fuck 'XD I thought you were the rules guy

(flashback) the bit where deku says "you haven't put a single scratch on me yet" when all of his fingers are broken and todoroki is at full health is still fucking hilarious tbh -- (still flashbacks) "I am the younger brother of a hero you attacked" also still reminds me of that "do you have ANY IDEA how little that narrows it down" meme -- yes, yes, you're all protagonists, this is a recap episode huh

"don't hold back on me, half n half!" "okay" freezes bakugo and deku and wins easily -- (eraserhead butts in) hehehehehehehe -- ("pool's closed, go home") aw dammit, I wanted him to make them do the last race legit 'XD

…has this show been doing these Marvel-ass after-credits scenes this whole time? …well, hopefully it doesn't mean I've been missing any needed context when I didn't watch the credits all the way through

"what, Class A is taking extra classes? did you fail? did you fail?" oh shut up Ditto, I gave up liking you ages ago

who is this Charlie-Brown-side-character looking mfer, what's their deal 'XD

uh…… huh. well, the Jellicles have arrived.

who's the grumpy kid who looks like he wandered in from Bleach. …or Digimon. idfk. he their manager? is he hiding cat ears under that hat?

(wonders something, checks the dub) aw, I can't even comment on what they translated God Explosion Murder (you know, that guy who got kidnapped by the slime monster)'s catchphrase to in English because if I type it here FB will ban me : [ (also I'm too lazy to change these much before posting em to tumblr regardless of what order I do em in)

am here for action banjo I guess

kaminari that thing is literally made of dirt, it couldn't be any more obviously Ground-type wtf

…o-kay. mineta gets a new friend in superhell tier I guess

wheeeeeze 'XD what the fuck, I can't - what - why? fuckin' brat just punched mr nice guy in the balls -- guy whose sole defining trait is bullying deku: "heh, he reminds me of me"

"hey kota, can you bring those vegetables? they have a sticker on them that says Vegetables in English, but don't look at it too closely, you'll get a headache" what did the artist(s?) think we were gonna think was in that box anyway?

ugh, not hot springs, we just did this gag

deku looks pretty darn normal when his head isn't on an anatomy figure : |

yooo, class b's here too, hellyeah

(going through how everybody is trying to level up their powers) all choji and hagukure have to do is hide and seek, huh. all this support tech and all and they still haven't invented anything hagukure can, idk, wear or use that's as invisible as she is or that can become invisible?

swolecat might be okay

secret hideout? isn't that just the cave where they had tokoyami doing his crona-ragnarok training? -- (camera pans to show a hole in the cliff) is kota a cognate for kyle? also is that meme still funny? idk

literally a cenobite. who let clive barker into the writing room, this is a family show. …that occasionally says "fuck" in the background.

dancing boy is waiting for a full party

why does it not surprise me that bakugo's apparently good at cutlery. he probably says "die" in his head as he chops

("bravery test" game thingy) …yeah no I'd better not even try to understand this one, I still haven't gotten around to googling what a cavalry battle is -- "revelry in the dark" kthx sasuke allen poe or wever

'XD they passed up the opportunity to pair bakugo with deku and decided to stick him with half n half instead

is it zombies again. or midnight. -- oh, it's dancing boy making a move. hm.

no after-credits scene this time, only spoilers. maybe it's only for first and last episodes of a season, who knows.

got stuff tomorrow. …I think. stoppin here for now.

January 8, 2023

So much has happened. Yesterday we went to The Row to support Hatty at Maum.  We got in line for pizza at Bianco b/c a line was already forming before the restaurant opened.  After taking turns entertaining the girls we got in.  We were like, there’s no way it lives up to the hype.  I mean come on, its pizza. But wow it really lived up to the hype.  I didn’t watch the Netflix documentary but Jason described the legend and I knew enough to assume that this was like God’s gift to man in pizza form or something crazy like that.  So I had high expectations too.  But seirously I was blown away by how delicious it was.  We liked the New York style thin pizzas the best.  And I was shocked but I may have liked the Salami the best (which is usually not my thing).  But upon further consideration I think I would love to just eat the regular old Margherita.  Everything else was good (the lemon, the sicilian, the green one, etc.) but the tomato sauce was so good. and the crunch was so satisfying on the thin pizza that’s what I’d want to eat over and over again.  

We couldn’t get into Maum b/c the line was too long so we dropped off a box of pizza for Hatty and bounced.  Jason mentioned that his friends were playing pickelball and asked if we wanted to stop by.  I said yeah let’s do it.  We kind of waffled on whether to go or not because we weren’t sure if the timing would even work out but we did.  We go and its actually a ton of fun.  Jen was there so she and I played, while trying to avoid hitting the kids lol.  But Dani wanted water so I took her to the car to get her water but when I get back Jen runs up and she’s like Jason got hurt.  I was like .. no.  because Pete had just gotten injured a few weeks prior.  I walk over and Jason is like I think I tore my achilees.  I feel the back of his heel on his normal leg, and it feels normal but I feel the heel on his other leg and its just mushy.  No bone/tendon.  We immediately go to my mom’s (after a miscommunication w/ my mom) and then realize she’s at our house so we go home and my mom watches the girls while we go to the ER.  Man I felt pretty dirty after being at the hospital b/c there was a homeless guy there that smelled so bad.  and there were people who were yelling out in pain. it was just a weird vibe. they warned us it could take a long time so I went to get everyone homestate, dropped it off for jason and then went home to relieve my mom.  also jason’s phone died so he wanted to keep my phone to stave off his boredom but also so I could contact him.  I felt so naked driving around w/o my phone in the minivan b/c I couldn’t look directions up. I just had to trust my memory (which it was easy to do given we know the Kaiser Sunset so well but still). 

I get home, relieve my mom, put the girls to sleep, and then wait.  Eventually I go back to get Jason and he’s waiting with crutches. He has to basically jump on one leg up all of our stairs (our house is so not ADA compliant) and he’s sleeping on the couch right now because it would be too hard for him to sleep in either of the girls’ rooms without waking them up with his crutches.  At first I thought I should sleep on the couch b/c I didn’t see how he could go get dani but he said he could just use the crutches to go into her room and then throw her on the bed lol.  But we realized he can just take her out of the crib and then she can walk on her own.  

Today I took the girls to church and jason stayed home and oh my god it was not fun.  I couldn’t focus on any convo because dani was just a menace at the table.  I was terrified whenever she grabbed one of the ceramic plates, sure she was going to throw it down on the ground and send shards flying.  But lunch was actually super delicious.  I’m already craving the tomato and egg with hand cut noodles.  I might try to make tomato and egg this week. 

After we went to get boba and then ofc dani poops. so we walk over to a courtyard area with a bathroom but I have to carry dani the whole time.  In total after we got there, I changed dani’s diaper 2x (thank god for trudy providing us with wipes and diapers) and I took naya (and wes haha) to the bathroom 3x. The whole time was just a brief intermission between going to the bathroom.  

I felt spent by the time we got home but had to do some work.  I’m scared that there’s going to be a lot of work this week since people are really going to be back from vacation now.  But just got to face it head on. 

Also I really hope the ortho calls soon so Jason can go in and ask for the surgery.  We both want him to get it because it seems like the recovery time is shorter and recovery is more assured.  Johnny or Paul was saying today that they know someone who tore their ACL like 3x.  Tore it once and then every time they tried to take their boot off it would just re-tear again.  I don’t want that for Jason. It seems like if you just do natural healing, you just have to hope your tendon re-attaches together and it eventually heals, which could take like a full year.  What a weird thing to happen.  Stiill doesn’t feel fully real.

my legs have that same feeling as if i just had an intense soccer practice and/or game after an entire summer of zero exercise to speak of and idk how i feel abt that

#i barely did anything with my legs #if anything its my arms that should feels this sore #and they do but more like 'six hours of non stop draeing all week' kind of sore #which i was not doing this week but the sentiment is the same #like i guess all that bracing and using my legs to crank the printing press and fucking push the heaviest stone known to man did it #but like what the fuck man #imagine getting sore from fucking art #like homest to god exercise soreness #its like once i finished my project my body was like oh ok finally *endless pain* #what a bitch #michi tag

[redjaybathood]

Everyone (well not everyone, someone was like: you ship batcest, delete my post you reblogged!) liked 50 Shades of Gray Brutaljay AU but I am unlikely to ever write that because my favorite dynamic to write with Jason and Bruce is antagonistic, and this story really has to be a cliche romance. So, here's a snippet of the fic I am not going to write (and I was not kidding in the tags, if you guys like the idea, you're welcome to it)

Being a reported for Gotham U student paper allowed Jason to meet a lot of people. Some of them, like Film major Eddie Bloomberg, he became fast friends with. Others, like high school dropout and self-proclaimed ethical hacker Tim Drake, were more like his nemesis. But even they had more soul and personality in them than Bruce Wayne.

But it’s not like he could pick his own assignments. Though, to be fair, his editor didn’t want him on Wayne either.

“Your vendetta against rich people is ridiculous,” Barbara said, blowing her nose on the phone.

“I don’t have a vendetta, what the fuck? I’m friends with Roy Harper, did you forget?”

“Oh come on, his father is rich, but Roy? Anyway. If there was anyone else I could have sent instead of you - we don’t need you blowing up on him, you have no idea what circles of hell I endured to get this interview.”

“When I ever blew up at the subject?”

“Punch. Line.”

Oh, yeah, one of the girls who stanned Joker. Jason still couldn’t get over a fact that his campus had two separate people who wore Joker’s image on them proudly. At least, Duela Dent really was Joker’s daughter, just not this world’s one. Kaye, though, was a bidding serial killer, and he wanted her gone.

“I thought you of all people...” Jason murmured into the phone, and Barbara’s reaction was sharp.

“Oh, yes, me, of all people. Because I do so love to be defined by what happened to me. But if you choose to conflate my entire existence to that single point? Keep in mind that I somehow manage to ignore her.”

Jason had his opinions about that, but he wasn’t entirely sure if it was a good idea to express them, so he changed tracks.

“Can I have at least my own list of questions?”

“No.”

“Then have his PR agent just email you the answers, Jesus. I really don’t see the point of me going all the way across the city to ask him some soft-balls he has a speech written in response to.”

“I need the footage for our website and social media, is the point.”

So that was that. And that’s how Jason found himself borrowing a tie from his new roommate slash nemesis, and listening to very unflattering comments from his other roommates about his choice of a shirt. They were assholes. Except for Duke. Duke was cool, but maybe it’s because he was a baby of their family. First year, no major declared yet. He could become anyone. Jason could only hope he doesn’t end up like Tim, or Dick, or Stephanie, or hell, even him.

"Don’t stress it,” Duke advised. “Look, I know what you’re thinking. Like if you look poor enough, they won’t even allow you into the Tower, much more to interview their boss. But you have an appointment, and it’s a regular office, not Iceberg Lounge. You look professional enough, no bouncer at the door is going to turn you away.”

It was easy for Duke to say, it was harder for Jason to internalise.

"Besides, it's not like you have money to spare to buy a new shirt."

"Can I borrow yours?" Jason asked hopefully.

"Nope," Duke replied, and clapped him on the back.

Maybe it was too late for him, and Duke already became an asshole.

But in a way, it made Jason feel better. There was nothing else he could have done, and if his irrational fear of being turned away at the door came true, at least Barbara couldn't fault him for that, right? Well, that wasn't strictly true, she tended to fault him for everything. But it wouldn't be fair.

Yeah, when Bruce Wayne gave him once-over and commented dryly: "I do so admire men with bold taste in clothes.” - Jason regretted everything in his life that led to this point. He ran a hand to smooth other his red shirt - it wasn’t even that “bold”, what the fuck, it’s not like he had a floral print on it or something - and smiled.

“Thanks. I do so love to receive unwarranted comments on my appearance.”

And that’s how it went downhill from there.

Jason set up the camera, got the printed sheet of questions out along with his notebook and a pen. Wayne commented on him being “analogue”, how refreshing a change that was after seeing so often young people glued to their screens. Jason used it as an opportunity to ask how many young people he actually knew, in lieu of explaining that his piece of shit phone, if you tried to use the keyboard for longer than 30 seconds, overheated pretty much instantly.

“Barbara Gordon, for example,” Wayne said.

If she was the only one he knew under thirty, then it wasn’t surprising he had this stereotype about young people being online constantly.

“She’s the daughter of my dear friend at GCPD, Jim Gordon. He does an admirable work with cleaning Gotham streets, and I expect as much from his daughter. Where is she, by the way?”

Yeah, Babs, real circles of hell, asking your dad to set up a meeting with his bridge buddy, Jason thought bitterly.

“Cold,” Jason tried for apologetic smile but it turned out more like fake-enthusiastic one. “Hope you don’t mind the last-minute switch.”

“Oh, I don’t mind at all.”

Wayne gave him another once-over, and a smile of his own. It was, objectively, a very charming smile, but in context it was pretty yikes.

“Okay! Let’s start! You're financing a new domestic abuse awareness campaign. Of all the charities, why did you feel it was the most important cause to focus on?"

Not like you have ever experienced it, Jason didn't add, because a) he didn't want to antafonise Wayne right off the bat, b) it would be an asshole move reminding Wayne about his parents' death and besides, who knew that they were like before they died? And that buttler of his, while it seems unlikely he would have been still employed if anything was going on when Wayne was a kid, you couldn't underestimate the pull shitty parental figutes could have on your life. He still considers Ma Gunn his family, even if he was the one who ratted her out to cops.

If not the thing with Sionis, he probably wouldn't have done it either.

I dunno but there's a lot of probabilities anyway #also a note: idk what happened to sionis but it was nothing good
