#running like water

[04hyyh]

Memory is a slippery thing; details are hazy, fickle. The more you strain, the less you see. A memory of a memory endlessly corrupting itself. (..) Because in recalling a point in time and how that moment made you feel, it is framed by a new feeling—the feeling of what that moment means to you now.

The conclusion 🌿

Click here to read Chapter Twenty. Please comment, reblog and leave kudos to let me know what you thought about this story 🙏

Wow, what a wild ride it's been. I experienced the emotions firsthand as I wrote this story, then watched everyone react to this story's twists and turns. I got so much great feedback that encouraged me to keep writing. 🌞

In particular, I want to thank @twocorvids, @iamnotdoingethelp, @pumpkinpyre and @whovianbuffalo for leaving great comments. @joycew-blog also left in-depth comments and drew this awesome comic based on a scene. @coldfreezingsurface drew excellent sketches of the characters. Finally, @surprisedlemur started a Loki (TV show) fan fiction based on Running Like Water called Working A Case. 📚

If I didn't mention you here, I assure you that I read your comments and tags and enjoyed all of them. I didn't do this ntentionally, but I loved how this fic ended up running concurrently with season six. 📺

Enjoy the new episode tomorrow, and thanks for joining me and C-137 and X-216 on this journey! 💗🍃

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

#writeblr #warm up #ps edited so it is more clear where “half” of men is coming from: #15% literally don't even touch water #an ADDITIONAL 35% ''wash'' by just running their hands under water WITHOUT SOAP #15+35 =50% #like that is not washing ur hands. go back and use soap #btw the numbers for women are 4% never washing and 15% ''just water'' #which is still gross but like. sooo much better yikes #ps i know we're all gay on this site but watching ppl ''correct'' my math on this has been wild #i have a learning disability im genuinely bad at math so i check EVERY time someone corrects me #but no they're just confidently wrong..... #182 hours is a week babes. 182/24 (number of hours in a day) is ~7.6 #that's where i got that number from. also from rent we know there's 168 hours in a week. #ALSO btw if u read this and ur response is ''men are also struggling rn tho'' like babe you missed the point of it tho #this doesn't even make fun of men it's legit just pointing out that bigotry against women isn't founded #in anything men actually CARE about . like they don't actually CARE about ''being clean'' when they make fun of armpit hair #or they would be WASHING THEIR HANDS. #men pretend to be rollin' in cash and Apex Predators and instead they are trained to be lazy and unwilling to act in emergencies #i have never and will never make fun of men for asking for more support on important topics like DV and mental health. #this is so clearly not about men; it's about how common just being plainly misogynistic has become. #like they don't try to hide it anymore.

I will say that, as someone who takes care of an 8 year old, it is pretty hilarious to think about Dick fighting crime so young. Like there's just packs of animal crackers in the batmobile because Dick will get hungry during the middle of a case. And god forbid Bruce forgets to pack a water bottle for Dick because then he'll just hear a litany of, "I'm thirsty, I need water." I mean, I know Dick is usually depicted as more mature/responsible than your average kid, but it's so funny to think about Bruce and Alfred having to deal with some of those typical kid needs and behaviors.

#let's be real--between bruce and alfred--forgetting a water bottle would not be an issue #but still idk maybe dick runs out and so bruce has to be like SIIIGHHHH and stop at mcdonalds to buy him more water #Dick Grayson

“It’s gross if Katara marries Zuko since he’s her colonizer” she overthrew the last Fire Lord to put Zuko on the throne. If anything the Fire Nation would be worried that he’s Katara’s puppet

#“Katara and Zuko are like Pocahontas and John Smith” yeah if Pocahontas toppled the British Empire and made John Smith run it #Trivia: the episode The Puppetmaster foreshadows the geopolitical conflict stemming from the paranoia that Fire Lord Zuko is a puppet king #Especially since palace servants can confirm that he is a simp for Master Katara of the Southern Water Tribe #Tbh installing a ruler in line w your interests is actually a classic colonialism move so she reverse UNO’ed the whole situation #Zutara #pro zutara #anti anti zutara #fire lady katara

Prompt 204

Danny is on a bit of a roadtrip. An accidental roadtrip and might be getting chased by some sort of assassins or whatever they were. Look, it’s not his fault, he was injured and out of it! How was he supposed to know that the Pits or whatever the people were yelling about were important. Or sapient. 

Actually, he should like… “How do you even know how to drive if you’re like, thousands of years old??” That was not what he was going to ask his current roadtrip buddy, but maybe he had a concussion. 

Ectoplasm-green eyes turned towards him from the road, framed by a mixture of black and white hair that shifted like his own. “You most likely don’t want to know the answer to that, actually.” Okay, but what if he did, huh? 

“Okay, but where are we going, because I don’t think this is my dimension…”  

They shrugged, their clothing shifting with the motion. Ha, ninja clothing for a sapient pool of ecto, or whatever it had been. “I am, not exactly familiar to things that were not known to those thrown into my blood, so we’re, I believe the saying is going in blind?”

“Oh. Okay. Y’know you’re kind of nice for an ecto-death pit thing.”

“... I am going to pretend I didn’t hear that, child.”  

“Okay. I’m going to go to sleep because my head hurts.” 

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Sentient Lazarus Pits #All of them are sentient #The one at Nanda Parbat has just adopted a halfa and run away #Why yes they get the information of anyone dipped in their waters #Danny: Do you have a name? #Lazarus Pit: #Danny: Oh my Ancients you don’t even have a name how are you an adult #Batman is going to have the wildest call ever if Ras or Talia contacts him because What The Fuck #League: THAT CHILD STOLE THE SACRED POOL #Pit: Actually I stole myself by walking with my own two legs you imbeciles #Danny will freak out once the concussion is taken care of and he’s not all loopy from the League’s poisons #Pit with Danny under an arm: It’s free child #Pit looks like a bit of a mixture of everyone who never surfaced from the Lazarus Pit

SO, I made my own tragic legendary sea cookie since that seems to be the theme for devsis in between comms-

Beneath the dark, forgotten waves of the west sea, amongst a once bustling and colorful coral forest is it's sleepy monarch; Grand Reef Cookie. A jolly, yet strangely complaisant individual who spends his frail, doddering years tending to the decaying remains of his children's once proud homeland.

They have all left, of course. Some more hesitant than others to leave their loving father's side. But, Grand Reef Cookie was insistent of their retreat. That, unlike him, they were not bound to their namesake in soul and body. That the ocean held much more plentiful and vibrant sights that were not to be wasted fretting over a forgotten relic of the past. That doesn't stop many from visiting though... Bringing with them trinkets and offerings to help alleviate his wistful loneliness.

But, unlike some of his children, Grand Reef doesn't harbor any resentment for cookies. It's just not in his nature to harbor any hatred for... Well, anything, really. A reef is meant to be a nurturing and peaceful place for even the most ruthless apex predator, to be unwelcoming and unkind to even one creature would go against his very nature. ________

Why be a betrayed and/or volatile tragic, when you can be a sweet, hospice patient kind of tragic? That, and sea pollution and global warming tragic, I mean it's right there-

#Yes he leaks oil-like substances whenever surfacing from the water #He's just a sweet old grandpappy #I wanted wholesome but also sad #so here he is #Grand Reef Cookie #Devsisters if you want my ideas you can dm me my rightfully earned 5000 bucks- #also sorbet's here #I really wanted to draw him but could never get inspired enough to until now #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #CRK #cookie run oc #oc #fan character #Character idea #i'm taking a nap now gnite

Apologies to everyone who follows me because you’re about to be subjected to SO much Lisa Frankenstein posting, I am so deeply abnormal about this movie and I would not be surprised if it ended up being one of my top ten favorite movies of all time.

My only wish is that my theatre could have been more crowded, it was a pretty dead audience (pun intended) which meant I spent a solid 60% of my energy trying not to cause a scene every time there was a needle drop or anything that felt like it was specifically calling me out for being a weird little goth.

#lisa frankenstein #also not related to the movie #but worlds biggest shout out to the regal employee who would not let me waste my money on overpriced water #I was parched and running late and decided to suck it up but he was like ‘nah’ and filled up one of the soda cups with water for me #and then gave me a medium popcorn for the price of a small #I think it’s just cuz the small bags were annoying him #but I was just like ‘is this??? an actual angel??? holy shit??? #I hope his pillows are always cool on both sides #Or whatever his preferred temperature is

Getting very annoyed by companies using Travis and Taylor’s relationship as a way to promote themselves. It’s so invasive and strange especially after everyone around the two (including them!) have called for privacy and said they aren’t going to comment on anything. Obviously they are aware that people and the media are paying attention to them, but for companies to monopolize on it with disregard to the actual people they’re using is wrong. It’s just so weird to promote a football game as a way to watch a relationship unfold. They should be able to support and get to know one another without having their lives turn into a marketing campaign for a company. Just leave them alone.

#taylor swift #going to start spraying them with water #like just because they are celebrities doesn’t mean you get to use them for your own gain #I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t go to the game because of how the media is using her and the relationship #like it’s too much and I feel like it’s crossed a line #like at this point the interest isn’t even on the game it’s on her presence #I feel like there’s no need for the media to be that invasive and running stories on them every day #I’m genuinely surprised that there is some new story every day I thought they might back off

When I wrote Spectrum of the Curve in 2021, I thought I was writing a one-off story. I wasn't confident in my ability to write Rick and Morty convincingly, but I thought--eh, why not. Might as well get it out there.

C-137 is my favorite Rick, but X-216 was my favorite chapter to write. He came alive more than the other characters. Other people responded well to him and even drew him, which shocked me. I started thinking more about X-216 and what would happen if he and C-137 met.

My original idea was a short story where C-137 and X-216 get briefly stranded on a planet and share their memories. But as I started developing the story in my mind, the plot became longer and more complex. Other characters joined in. And in the end, I had a novel-length story that became a full adventure instead of a stop on the way.

Running Like Water is the story of X-216 and C-137--both Ricks and Mortys--and how a chance meeting became one of the most important adventures of their lifetimes.

I've completed the entire fic, but I'm going to post one chapter a day so I don't overwhelm everyone. I would really appreciate it if you guys liked and reblogged the posts, shared them with your friends and commented to tell me what you think. This is going to be a wild ride, so let's get started!

saturday, august 26th, 2023 | 47/100 days of productivity

I passed my exam this morning! 🥳 everything went pretty smoothly, which was nice. (I did forget my water bottle at the testing center, but that's not the end of the world haha)

I now have about four weeks before I start the next course in the series! I'm going to rest for a bit, spend some time on hobbies, and maybe take a short malware analysis course that I've been eyeing 👀

#studyblr #study inspiration #studyspo #study motivation #100dop #op #I realized I left my water bottle like a minute before the bus arrived so I didn't have time to go get it :( #and that bus only runs every 40 minutes and I did Not want to stand outside in the 100 degree heat for an extra 40 mins lmao #but again it's not the end of the world haha I can just get a new water bottle lol
