I’m replaying act 1 (for the fifth time) and when Gale is explaining his condition to you he mentions he’s “never told another living soul” about it, except for Tara. You’re telling me this man shut himself up in his tower for an entire year and didn’t tell anyone why and no one ever bothered to find out? He has so few people who care about him in his life that he fell into a depression and disappeared for a year and NO ONE thought to go and check on him and find out what was wrong? He’s had no one but Tara providing help and support until he meets Tav???????

good lord I'm remembering Swimming Lessons 💀
I think I went when I was somewhere around 7-9 years old. and I already knew how to swim but I needed to get my diploma. so they put me in a class with kids <5, the water was up to their chests and at my hips -_-
and I remember spending every single lesson seething with rage and superiority over everyone else in the class. I'd get unbelievably pissed for the entire day whenever a teacher dared to correct me on something because "who are YOU to tell me I'm swimming wrong. you're telling me I'm swimming worse than these literal babies??? I know how to swim, idiot. go help the babies who actually need help, not me, because I'm doing everything PERFECTLY"
I think I'd rather be shot point blank than have to be criticized while a literal toddler is getting praised for doing worse right next to me again
they went easy on them because they were babies, and they just fucking hated me I guess. I know how to swim I didn't even need to be there, I deserved to be put in a class that was my actual age group with water that was suitably high enough to swim in easily
and in the end I quit the class out of sheer built up rage before I got my diploma 😔😔
and the saddest part is that I still think and act exactly the same. I suppress my actions a little more nowadays but I'm still having the same mental processes as I did at age seven 💀💀 they should rename narcissism to Never Grows Up Disorder fr

The Ruined pizzaplex is steeped in death and disrepair, it’s almost to the point that when the others are finally Meteor-ed, they don’t even know if they’ll survive escaping the damn place. None of them know, it’s a death trap. I don’t even think some of them expected to live for long after they escaped
But then they do, and they’re in a completely unfamiliar world that’s saturated with life and it’s unlike anything they’ve ever been exposed to before. Fazent always carried that touch of death, yknow? They never knew any different.
But then they claw their way into the light and someone is wrapping a blanket around their shoulders and giving them a bottle of water and asking if they’re ok because they must’ve just been Changed, they look so disoriented, and they don’t know what to do.
But they have each other, they’re *alive* again. The scars will never go away, but they have each other, and they desperately hope that’s enough.
YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE-
Fsdfsdf nah though you're on the right lines with this... may I offer...
The Plex is dead. It's stagnant, forever unchanging and is left to rot like all the other bodies under the floorboards. Those that remain are rotting and hurt, discarded like broken and unwanted toys and abandoned in the ruins of what is the only world, the only home they've ever known.
... But it's not dead.
How can it be? They're still there. They're still alive.
And like a phoenix rising from the ashes, they'll realise that for themselves and start laying the kindle for their fire.

"they have two hands, why can't they share"
i hate this line
so.. so much
it shows up on my dash or in tags or replies on my own shit sometimes and i simply Need to Vent
because not everyone likes that?? because not everyone is comfortable with that?? because they simply don't want to?? because it's a panic trigger based on real life experiences?? because *insert reason that’s none of your business / not that deep / other here*??
it doesn't matter how "cutely" you phrase it or how easy peasy lemon squeezy it seems to you, multishipping for a character / including a character in certain ot3 combinations (and sometimes ot3's in general) can be a hard fucking No for some people. it can, in fact, be stressy depressy lemon zesty. it can even be negative lemon anything.
the 'why' isn't actually anyone's business, the reason shouldn’t matter anyway, as long as they aren't attacking you for your ships why do you care, and if you want certain content then make it.
“they have two hands-” yep and both are in use, holding the two hands their partner also has, or perhaps squishing their cheeks because they are cute, or cupping their face gently like the softest scene in a hurt/comfort fic. leave people alone
