#realm of the elderlings #fitzchivalry farseer #the fool #fitz and the fool #realm of the quarantine #robin hobb #rote #fool’s quest #i just. 🤦‍♀️ #first of all 'lord golden had been a handsome man' like........ it's so suspicious #that you're not even like oh no my childhood friend no longer looks like himself #you're specifically grieving the loss of the beauty of a character he played who you didn’t even like #like why are you singling lord golden out specifically rather than Fool or Beloved?? #and why his handsomeness and not just like his health or vibrancy #idk bestie if my friend was disfigured obviously i would be devastated for them but i wouldnt be like #damn they were so gorgeous and sexy and this is a loss for me personally #like you would just be sad that they no longer look like your friend right? #I'm explaining this terribly cos I just woke up but anyway. gay jail. #also let's be real 'handsome' is such a radical understatement for how enraptured fitz was by lord golden's beauty lol 💀

i've said it before but the fact is this: house being a pandemic baby (born mid-2020) explains everything about his personality

#robert edwin house #fallout new vegas #mr house #i get really sad thinking abt how being born during the pandemic must fuck these babies up. not having the right social exposure and stuff #your developmental years as a fucking baby during quarantine... its batshit #but like. it would explain 100% of why house is Like That

today I was chilling vodka in my freezer to depression-drink alone, and then I remembered I can just leave! I drove straight for the woods, with a picnic blanket and snacks and poetry and a narnia coloring book. and it didn’t make the sadness go away entirely but it reminded me how much I like myself, how much I love the world. there’s no moral to this story but I hope you get the chance to read a good poem or eat your favorite candy or find some beautiful flowers or see a funny raccoon this week. I hope we all get to live in peace and grow up together

#thinking about that poll about whether your 12 year old self would like you #very sentimental about my little nebulous tumblr girl gang all struggling to find our way through adulthood together and build good lives #sometimes I feel like I’m still in a quarantine mindset where I CAN’T leave and I have to STAY sad. but I can literally leave!!!!!

I'm supposed to be doing homework but also,

isn't it interesting that there's Jojo's LinkedUniverse and then also the LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse? That LU became a conduit through which to examine and compare and contrast Zelda games with this cast of characters as a base? That was their original intention and the fans went "heck yeah!" and ran with it? The LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse is a monster of the week story where everyone contributes, it has hundreds of authors and storytellers all working together and trading tales. It's a scenario in which Jojo's LinkedUniverse is both the source material and also just one instance in the larger weave. And the LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse lore deviates from (and is much deeper than imo) that of the original comic mainly because of that 1 person building a thing vs hundreds of people building a thing. And isn't that so cool?

But then also with the decline of the fandom I dunno I feel like the LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse has been dying. Updates would spawn a burst of creativity and multitudes of branching ideas and what-if scenarios explored through art and fic and discussion, building on it, adding it in to pre-existing stories. I feel that activity around updates has been ticking more towards exploring the comic within the context of the comic itself, and less within the fandom's takes on it (not taking that step forward of "yes, and," and "yes-anding" fanworks as well.) Or not updates in particular, but the state of the fandom is deviating from taking this base and running and sharing to something more controlled and wary? Isolated?

The LinkedUniverse fandom is a phenomenon to me. And it's not something I think should be replicated in regards to other LinkVerse comics but it's also something beautiful and creative? Like, Jojo to a certain extent has or had lost control of the fandom's versions of these characters. She made them and we respect her wishes for them but they no longer belong to her?

The LU fandom's LU is a collectively written LinkVerse and exploration of the loz games, using these characters and relationships as a base (which is why I think people mistag by accident so much.) Sure, you could use the characters directly from the games or make your own LinkVerse to explore the relationships between the loz games. However, within the context of the LU fandom, you get the advantage of the template already being there for the character's personalities, meeting, secrets, and an open ended goal, and these things are understood by a large number of invested people, leading to this huge collaborative project.

This is what's so special about the LinkedUniverse fandom to me. Watching this thing be built and getting to be a contributing piece of it. Maybe it shouldn't have happened. Like, if something like that were to happen to anything I've made I think that'd be really scary. But it's also something incredible?

It's why I have a hard time accepting it when people say they hate the LU fandom. How could you hate the creativity? The shared stories? What's been made? Isn't it incredible? It's another LinkVerse, in a way, one that belongs to many. I hate the instances where people have tried to police the way the characters are written, both within the fandom and towards Jojo's comic, and the issues in communication, and callout posts asjhfksdf Problems in reconciling the LU fandom's LU, Jojo's LU, other LinkVerses, and gen loz. But the phenomenon of the fandom itself, the shared collaborative LU fandom's LinkedUniverse? I think it's such a cool thing. I think it's such a cool way to explore and examine the loz games and craft stories with so many other people.

I really enjoy all the LinkVerses that are around now. I don't think the fandom for LU is something that can be replicated. (or should?) (it's both something odd and a loss of control for Jojo but also a conduit for an incredible amount of creativity and community.)

It's really interesting to me. It's really interesting to witness. Or to have witnessed?

#rays random ramblings #I can't stop thinking about the LU meta #and all the shit's that happened ashjfsdfsdkhgf #but also- wtf it was so cool though?! This thing is so cool #and also like how the pandemic and quarantine likely contributed to how big this thing got as well #I need more people to talk about this with ajgshfsdf but also no #I feel like I should mourn this thing??? that's still alive? or has changed to something less recognizable? #mm... all the shit's that happened makes me sad and also so angry asjhgfddsf terribly conflicted #this thing that brought me so much joy and sparked so much creativity having such a bad rep now or has changed #aa.. #but it's also brought me so much anxiety asjgfsdf #it's interesting I dunno #lu fandom

Unfortunately Udon is on her last few days.

She was an absolute trooper of a gal and a joy to wake up to every day. Her health has been declining for months, and she almost made it to a year with me.

The sad truth about getting bugs is that you never know how long theyre going to live. And they wont tell you when somethings wrong. I got Udon when she was already an adult, so I never had a point of reference of her age.

She lived a nice life and has been a sweet bean saying hello when i wake up each day.

does anyone have any tips on how to cheer up a dog? should i give her the world? give her a golden apple? would that help? ╥﹏╥

#pond pets #pondhead rambles #she's been super depressed lately #especially since school started back up for everyone and we're all out of the house again due to work #she has company in the form of our second dog and they get along great #but she's our first fur baby and a quarantine pup #i don't know how to cheer her up #i wanna cry she looks so sad

in 12 hours we get the keys to the new place. in 24 we will have many boxes there and less here, and more and less every few hours as we shuttle things over. in 60 the furniture will be moved. in 72, i can go to sleep in my new bedroom.

#i am too exhausted to really feel anything but. i am having phantom pains. #i think i’m really sad to be leaving this place. it’s the first place i lived without my parents. #and the first room i slept in consecutively every single night without doing the divorced kid 60/40 shuffle. #and it was a really lovely place to live especially during the quarantine times. it’s been a good home to us. #i’m gonna miss living here. #izzy.txt

Tom x Fabio, 16

For the prompt game? :)

16. lazily

Fabio wakes up confused and a little too warm. It takes him a hot second to remember where he is as he tries to blink sleep away, his eyes hurting when they catch on the too bright TV.

“Hey, someone’s back with us?” A voice says from above and Fabio stirs until he can recognize Tom in front of him, the light from the TV casting his face in hues of blues and greens and blues again.

When his brain seems to be a little more online, Fabio finally notices the cause of his sweatiness, putting the fleece blanket to the side with a frown on his face.

“Sorry,” Tom chuckles. “Your mom insisted on putting it around you when she got up to go to bed. Obviously I couldn’t deny her and then I forgot about it.”

“How long have I been asleep?” Fabio asks, his voice still a little bit rough. He loosely remembers fighting to keep his eyes open but he doesn’t think he lasted long into the movie, could barely tell you what it was about.

“I’d say roughly under two hours? Your brother left after the movie ended and your parents both went to bed. That was maybe 20 minutes ago. I didn’t want to wake you up and there was no way I was about to carry you upstairs on my own, so.”

Right. Because they had family dinner earlier tonight and then they all sat down in the living room for a movie Fabio couldn’t even remember because he fell asleep on Tom at the first occasion.

Even if he’s known Tom for 8 years and he’s been embraced and adopted by his family since the very beginning, the concept of Tom being comfortable enough to hang out with his parents and his brother “on his own” still makes Fabio feel content and stupidly happy. It probably translates onto his face as he feels his mouth stirs into a smile.

“How come you’re not dying from the heat right now?”

Fabio is still very much plastered against Tom right now, knee against his thigh and his torso half on Tom’s chest, elbow digging close to his sternum. It must have only been worse when Fabio was still sleeping.

“You’ve been using me as your human teddy bear for years now, you don’t think I’m used to it by now?” Tom answers and Fabio can’t help but blush a little, hiding his face against Tom’s chest for a quick second. Tom pulls him back up with his thumb under Fabio’s chin. “Hey, you know I love it. Please never stop.”

Tom laughs but the smile that follows is soft and Fabio feels warm -not so much on the outside rather than on the inside, now- and they’re so close, Fabio just have to lift his head a couple of centimeters to be able to kiss Tom’s smile.

It starts simple, mouths closed, just the press of their lips together. Fabio uses his tongue to prompt Tom’s mouth to open and it does, allowing him in.

Tom’s hand moves from his chin to the back of his neck, simply holding him there. Everything is slow and languid, Fabio’s brain still a little fuzzy from sleep.

Fabio doesn’t even know what Tom was watching on TV while he was letting him sleep, the sound low and distant.

Tom scratches the hair at his nape and Fabio hears himself moan. He pushes up to get more leverage in the kiss, moving his knee until he’s straddling one of Tom’s thighs.

Tom’s hands move to his hips, stilling him. “Easy,” he whispers against Fabio’s mouth, their foreheads practically touching. “We’re still at your parents’ place.”

Fabio groans first and chuckles second, a certain memory coming back to mind. His parents interrupted them making out once (they were only kissing with their clothes still on even if Tom’s hands had been on their way to take Fabio’s shirt off) and even though that was years ago now, Fabio fully knows that Tom is still embarrassed about it and will blush at the mere mention of it.

“Right,” Fabio says, kissing the corner of Tom’s mouth and then pressing a line of kisses up Tom’s jaw, all the way to his ear. “I know you prefer to have me under you anyway.”

Fabio earns a pinch to the waist for his troubles but then Tom says “You’re such a menace” and he’s getting up and offering Fabio a hand so they can get to his room, so, it’s a win in Fabio’s books.

#fabio quartararo #tom maubant #rpf #my writing #prompt fill #fabio kissed tom for the first time when tom was finally able to join him in jerez #a combo of lots of time to think during quarantine + the confirmation tom was his person when part of fabio was feeling sad/bummed #he couldn’t celebrate his first win properly with him #also tom obviously very much enjoys fabio on top of him #anyway bye

Welp

It’s official

I’ve lost faith in the bad batch show

I just can’t afford to care anymore. There’s only so much trauma and darkness in a story I can take before I become numb to it. And we passed that threshold long ago, I just still had a glimmer of hope. Consider that spark gone.

I’ll still be posting Adventures!AU, in fact will probably break my rest period briefly to post something Friday, but as for engaging with the show?

Well, ain’t the first time canon has been dead to me.

#I’m just overloaded to the point of numbness #which is sad because these guys brought me so much joy and got me through the height of quarantine #but if I knew then what I knew now #I would have stuck with my Rebels era hyperfixation instead #the friends I’ve made due to the show are probably the only reason I don’t regret everything about my bb hyperfixation #bad batch #the bad batch #clone force 99
