Humans are weird: It feels like tuesday
Thinking of Humans vs aliens and how things might be different, one thing came to mind.
Time.
Time keeping is a requirement if you want to get things really organized. To calculate motion and movement, how far per second, per hour, how fast how slow. For space faring species, time would be second nature.
Perhaps, though, that’s because it’s intrinsic to them. They always know how long has passed. Perhaps it’s like a heartbeat they inherently count, or just a basic automatic knowledge of the passage of time.
Humans don’t have that though. Sure we can get a vague sense of how long has passed, some better than others, but humans don’t automatically count the seconds. No, humans FEEL time. It Feels like hours, or minutes, have passed. Some time feels longer or shorter than it is. It Feels like tuesday, even on a wednesday, or it does feel like the right day.
For humans, time isn’t an absolute. Usually, this is a hinderance, honestly. Can make them late or miss things. But when time shenanigans start, as they’re bound to in sci-fi, its astounding. Nobody else notices the time rewinds, the loops, the fast forwards. Cause their inherent clocks are moved just as a regular clock is. Humans though, humans can Feel spacetime, and they can feel when it’s wrong.

Viren doesn't care if you're queer or trans at all so long as he gets to continue his fucked up little magic experiments

I really wanted to tell you guys about the bungou stray dogs themed dream I had but all I remember is the poisoned coffee, getting my head patted, and then at the very end I was forced to commit suicide by fyodor. Sadly I remember none of the other plot elements. Dazai was there the whole time except when fyodor was causing me to kill myself. I woke up gasping for air.

Oh, Astarion. Perfectly encapsulating the relationship between him and Tannivh in one interaction.
Tannivh: "This feels like a trap."
Astarion: "Yes, it does. But also COULD YOU PLEASE STOP RUINING MY FUN?!"
I love that I went into this with "That will be their whole romantic dynamic" and I have somehow gotten exactly what I want so far. What is this witchcraft?
Don't worry, I'm also still pursuing Karlach, as well. She's just so... straight forward that there's not much to say.

okay so im not opposed to criticism but if you're a tsats hater or have opinions i dont like its block on sight. some of you guys have really annoying takes and are trying to fuel discourse in the year of our lord and im not here for that shit. we've never had an entire book on nico and its about being queer and traumatized and also its about nico specifically letting go of his sadness and grief. and i am eating that up. its a nice fucking book.

Vader hits him at his shoulder cutting down into his right lung. Vader lands down on the ground of Mustafar, shocked. Anakin broke down. He ran to his Obi-Wan holding the man in his arms. Force, no, no, no! What has he done.
“Obi-Wan, no, oh force no I’m sorry,” Anakin said cradling the older man.
“I-it’ssss o-kay, it’s alrigh-t,” Obi-Wan stuttered out.
“Obi-Wan please, please…” Anakin begs, the “don’t die” left silent. Obi-Wan reaches up his left hand, brushes his fingers through Anakin's hair, “Anak-i-in, it’s too late. It’s o-o-okay.”
“No, NO, NO!” Anakin is in tears, “It’s not-”
“Ana-kih, Pad-mé, she-” Obi-Wan stutteres, “Leave me, Anah, plea-ssee, you need to.”
“No, Obi-Wan, I won’t leave you!”
“Anak-ih- Anaki-in- Anakin, I lo- I love yo- I love you…” Obi-Wan’s hand fell and he was dead.
Part of a one shot that i’ll prolly never finish

It has taken me four years on AO3 to realize you could favorite tags instead of repeatedly using the search bar when you're looking for fics. I am what some may call "a fucking idiot."
Anyway, Goncharov (1973) dir. Martin Scorsese - beelzeebub was the first fandom I followed. I do not expect to be disappointed considering there are 242 works as of 7:57 PM EST November 21, 2022.
