watching the sunset with simon riley, the both of you are laid out on a plaid blanket at the top of a sandy hill. the splintery material of a picnic basket scratches at your ankle as you shift it away from you.
“it’s so beautiful.” you say, blinding reaching at your side for simon’s hand, interlacing your fingers with him. you caress his knuckles with your thumb, never tearing your eyes from the perfectly complimented hues of pink, red, and orange that paint the cloud free sky.
you watch as the sun slowly descends into the cerulean colored water, soft waves crashing into one another lighting a pleasant sound in your ear. you dare close your eyes for a moment, blinding yourself of the breathtaking view in front of you. tilting your head back you part your lips, a slow breeze tickling the tip of your nose and breezing through your hair. you can almost taste the salt from the ocean, and as the sun begins to burrow away for the night you can still feel it’s warm rays against your cheeks.
paralyzed in a moment of beauty, you slowly inhale, feeling the stress leave your body — the anxiety that’s curled in the swell of your stomach, with one breath you feel it unwind and something’s lifted off your shoulders. the weight of simon’s hand in yours resting in your lap, his warm palm keeping you from shivering from the wind. his shallow exhale parting from his lips as he does exactly as you’re doing. the freedom he feels from basking in the presence of the art that lights the sky. the melted colors that reflect his heart, his love for you, the future that he can imagine so clearly.
bright.
“it is beautiful.” simon mutters quietly, not wanting to disturb you. he’s seen the sunset —he has seen it a million times; but he was never talking about it.
sure he thinks sunsets are pretty, but beautiful is never a word he’d use to describe it. nothing that he’s seen or heard of could be as beautiful as you. he hasn’t even looked at the sky tonight, frankly it would kill him to take his eyes off of you.
because to him, you are his sunset.

I lack a full plot (and also am 10 years out of practice) but I kind of want to write my own take on the Cania Heist just because there's a scene in my head where Gortash is doing something and Durge, who was behind him, holding off the locals while he works - walks in dripping with fiendish ichor, covered in black feathers and dragging a dissolving pit fiend's wing behind him, grinning from ear-to-ear; "This is the best fun I've had in over a century!"
And this is the first time Gortash has seen strong positive emotion on the otherwise flat and unemotive Dark Urge and it's... not unattractive (also the numerous dead fiends everywhere. That's very much "not unnatractive." The vestiges fo Young Enver - who was terrified and alone and would've loved having his own monster to defend him from these monsters -is suddenly developing a massive crush somewhere in the back of his mind. He thought it before, but now he definitely wants to have this divine horror at his beck and call.)
Also might incorporate that little quirk Bhaalspawn sometimes have where the divine essence in their blood becomes a homing beacon to all fiends. That's a wonderful trait to have while you're trying to go incognito in the Eighth Hell, in Mephistopheles' own house.

genesus finally gets in Seph's face and says what he needs to say
Cut to three hours later, they're both in bed together, Sephiroth looks smugly content and has been purring aggressively for the last twenty minutes.
Genesis: "Oh shit that was easier than I thought."

Im rewatching ATLA and I love Azula’s character so much because she is a bad person.
Is she a bad person because of a generational cycle of trauma? Absolutely yes.
But does that excuse all of her actions? Absolutely not.
Azula is aware that she is a terrible person! She has to be aware so that she can use it to her advantage. She thinks the way she does because that part of her has been nurtured. She is Ozai’s prodigy. He taught her to think the way she does. He gave her chances to grow and advance beyond Zuko because he saw the potential in her. Ursa’s kindness had already been put into Zuko’s character. Azula was a perfect template for the cruelty that his father has taught him.
Zuko had run away from the meeting between Azulon and Ozai but Azula stayed and watched. And smiled at what is essentially an abusive scene. She was raised to thrive on the torment of others which is why she loves torturing Zuko so much. It’s like enrichment to her. And she knows it too. And she just…doesn’t care.
She knows she’s being cruel which is why she goes out of her way to be that. Her ending in the series just finally shows what happens to her when she runs out of people to torture. She has isolated herself at that point and the only person she had left to torture was herself. The mirror scene is what that is. Ursa was the person who told her to leave Zuko alone, to not act the way she did. And naturally Azula translated that to her mother not loving her. And I think Ursa’s neglect comes from a place of seeing Ozai in her daughter.
So when she is finally chained up and completely out of control, she snaps. She’s out of people to hurt and that was what she was raised to do. Her crying and screaming and sobbing shows that she realizes she has nothing left. She knows that if her father hears about her defeat he will not love her anymore. So she just cries because that’s all she can do anymore.

friday
what a beautiful turn around from yesterday. i knew i was going to wake up and there would be flowers everywhere— and the green was going to be greener— and the birds were going to be louder —- and — -and ——
&.
—- EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL.
i feel in sync with nature— since it is beautiful- so am i— but i am protective of that beauty— i hide myself in black hoping i shine a rainbow from the prism within.
i love the cycle of a woman. - only when it is recognized and used correctly— I don’t think most women know how to regulate- or I have been surrounded by women who didn’t know how to regulate—-
to be able to give myself that regulation, discipline, intelligence, love is essential— it is why my standards remain high— the highest— if you don’t think you are fucking special— then who will? 🤔
- what a privilege it is to be able to explore and experience myself. it projects as a hunger- because i am hunger itself. It’s like it’s peak mating season for me —- maybe i cannot explain this feeling inside.
twenty three days— violently happy. violently divine. violently feminine.

Today marks 2 years since I posted my first podfic on AO3! A stupid little milestone but I feel like picking this up as a hobby changed a lot of things for me so I'm making a little celebration post
In the last 2 years I've posted over 57 hours of finished audio! That's uuuuh about 544k of words I've spoken into my impulse buy mic
Some very brief stats of what fandoms (AFTG my love) and whose words I've been saying a lot of:
Tumblr media
Now I'm going to get slightly emotional about my podfic journey so like, feel free to skip the rest if that sounds boring
I've always been so drawn by audio as a media format and learning podfic existed was so hugely exciting for me! Something about someone telling you a story as you go about your day hits different and to be able to get that experience with fanfiction! It took a few more years, but discovering telling the stories myself was something I actually loved was a scary surprise. I went into this thinking it would be hard and scary the whole time, but desperately wanting to listen to more fic in this way after I quickly burned through every pod in the AFTG fandom multiple times.
Getting to connect in this way to the amazing stories people write about my favorite characters means so much to me now. The process of putting emotions to these words with my own voice lets me appreciate them so much more in such a different way from how I was before.
I've used other people's pods and audio boos and all kinds of auditory media to accompany me through rough mental times, sleepless times, boring daily tasks, long drives, the list goes on and on.
Hearing that my voice that I've put out in the world was able to do the same in comments and conversation with people honestly makes me so happy I tear up sometimes
Im thankful every day I went out of my comfort zone to try this silly little hobby, I'm thankful for all of the people who've chosen to listen to my works even if I made them expecting an audience of 1, I'm thankful for the huge and wonderful podficcer community that made my learning curve so much smoother than it could have been, and I'm thankful for all of the writers who have allowed me to create something with their stories
This is just word vomit at this point but I felt like sharing so here you go! Stay tuned for maybe a neat new long pod WIP drop but we'll see if that happens today

tbh I hate being German in general because of the entire everything (points at history and current politicians and conflicts etc)
BUT the "cola fortnite yippie" meme does make me a little proud to be german. thanks, kid 👍

sharon's unceremoniously trashed white suit tfatws concept art being hastily pasted into that comic con poster doesn't mean anything for her re: CA4. they're just using sharon to disguise their pathetic lack of female representation, as usual. the same thing they did during promo for tfatws before it came out (expectation: she's an important heroic character who eventually fights alongside sam and bucky. reality: she's a minimal-screentime plot device masquerading as an incompetent villain in a show with no female lead.). they have no qualms with false advertising if the perceived aura of girlboss feminism gives shareholders the warm and fuzzies.
because of this stupid design choice she's become a visible target for fandom attacks and cruelty, for the millionth time. it's like no matter how many years pass these creeps never let up, even though they got what they wanted. and it would all be endurable if WE ever got even a single thing we wanted and evc deserved.
it's not that they CAN'T treat sharon right, it's that they WON'T.
#anti mcu#sharon carter#emily vancamp#anti-mcu#remember in the face of negative reception feige proudly praised the pb garbage?#yeah we're screwed for life unless he gets amnesia#or the mcu sharon fandom suddenly grows exponentially enough to drown out the extremely loud antis on almost every avenue of social media#the best we can hope for is that she just never appears again so that we don't have to watch her burn down king's landing#they've had the opportunity to give sharon her due repeatedly for years and years now#and look at the culmination of all their allegedly herculean efforts#the mcu's religious adherence to their One Woman At A Time policy causes unfortunate image gaffes like this from time to time#whenever sj was unavailable for promo during the previous CA films then evc would be swapped in to appear at events or talk shows#even tptb had enough self awareness to realize that their packs of male actors needed to be offset by at least one female#lest the general public get the right idea about the mcu's business purpose#boy dollars#everything is about boy dollars#revenge wasn't male gazey and evc wasn't sexualized#so even though she was perfect for sharon she was completely unsuitable for the mcu#a magical place where redditors routinely say the black widow solo film is the worst of all natasha's appearances on film#they wax poetic about her acting#but it's really just because her vacuum sealed derriere didn't conspicuously graze the camera lens every 14 minutes#don't worry though#they will graciously tolerate the next mcu sharon when she's inevitably recast with the latest 20-something sexpot du jour#like feige originally wanted in the first place#or at least they'll pretend to tolerate her until she gets thrown off a cliff or becomes a mother or gets replaced with a younger model

@designedparadigm : claire stares down at ally, trying to hold in her chuckle. "was this an attempt at a poetic death?" she's got a hand out to help ally back up again, but the grin is unmistakable. she thinks it was pretty funny.
"in my upmost defense, i- i wasn't planning on landing in a open dumpster." in fact they didn't really have a plan to begin with. their selflessness mixed with impulse resulted in them crashing out of a window, into an alley below. there had been one of the stronger 'zombies' that claire probably (most likely) could've handled on her own, but ally was not one to think rationally while on the move.
"fuck, sorry if i scared you with my stunt."
the landing wasn't exactly soft, but definitely a lot less lethal than concrete. can't say the same for the enemy, who definitely wasn't getting up anytime soon.
taking hold of the others hand & getting out of the literal mess they put themselves in, they're immediately trying to wipe off any dirt & grime that sticks. so gross...
Tumblr media
"i know i'm not doing th- that ever again.. back's killing me."

I am so self-aware, it is exhausting, and my ego has become inflamed once again.
I am shamed for romanticizing almost all of my mental disorders and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I know I should not. I'm aware as to why it is all so unsustainable and unethical and gross, possibly even sad. however, I am literally mentally ill?!! I can't help how I see things because I know no other way and have tried to heal, only to have been beaten down time and time again. this life is absurd, everything that I perceive will one day be no more, and life is oh so short, so excuse me for wanting to give up and give in to my most twisted desires. nothing matters long enough for me to care. I am privileged enough to choose; I choose selfishness for now.

Like a Godd*mn Phoenix ...
Here they come, here they rise UP
[...]
It's weird to give it another round after 6 years of basically nothing. This never was a really active account, nor it is actually followed by people BUT it was never the purpose.
So I am going to write stuff down on here as the simple tomato salad that I am and as if it's not on the internet for everybody to find out!
So like a Godd*mn Phoenix, it's back, that good ol' Tomato Salad.

im that song you skipped and found out later it was fire
Hello void. It’s been awhile since we dived.
why do we wake up when we fall in our dreams?
the brain thinks it’s real.
when we think something is real, are we more prone to authenticity? especially love?
who are we when we believe love is real?
who do we become when it ends?
lol. I laugh a little. At the obstacles thrown at me.
nothing will dictate me. nothing fictional.
im feeling pretty today.
I feel like watching reality TV 📺 today.
something real, yet something so fake.
I don’t think I handled myself well. I took the bait easily, he thinks he has won. He thinks the power is in his hands. I remain guarded and in the abyss. I need someone who can breathe.
and then I fear this is all too deep to be true, like no one ever cares about the abyss except the exceptionally intelligent. No one is smart enough to risk it, but some crave it.
I remain interpersonal.
I remain creative.
I remain stimulated.
I remain hovering beautifully idle.
I remain a mystery.
