You know the writing’s good when your eyes start watering as you type

#stoic leader whump just hits different #does anyone else get that #like you’re so immersed in the story—reading or writing—that you just start crying? #like not sad crying but just. whumperflies but not entirely? #I don’t know. it might also be sad crying right now because I feel so bad for leader #they’ve been through it #the words are really wording tonight

"so, being like a year or so out from the record 'so much for stardust' and looking back at it, the idea that this record was somehow a lot about the idea...how like one day you're not gonna exist and that can just be this big existential dread that kinda follows you around and it can feel paralyzing. but i think instead of just feeling paralyzed, it was important to make this record, and it's a weird record, and i say that because whatever you make — it's bracelets or tiktoks or videos or music — i don't know, you know, memes, whatever it is. make stuff. make stuff 'cause you have to make stuff, make stuff so you feel like you're alive. make stuff, and make the world a little more fucking weird." -pete wentz before heaven, iowa; sacramento, ca 3/3/24

#i really loved tonight's version of pete's make stuff speech #the the way he worded everything tn was sooooo #yeah <33 #make stuff so you feel like you're alive #this is just like hegel said #fall out boy #fob #pete wentz

maybe if I keep telling the story, it will never have to end. that way I can keep you alive. If the story lasts forever, so will you. yes, you die in the end. yes I am the only one who remembers. yes I am the only one who knows. But if I never say it aloud, maybe you won't die. maybe this time orpheus won't turn around. maybe peter won't deny him. maybe when I reach the end, you will have had time to come up with a clever solution and escape. maybe this time we survive it together. and the next time, you can tell this story with me. maybe everyone survives and we don't have to tell the story at all. maybe they don't. if I never finish, I'll never have to know. let me speak for a little bit longer. let me live in a world that you are also in for just a moment more. sometimes your memory feels like a noose. I'm sorry. I'm not ready for you to die

Great teen talk overall, but honestly I was particularly interested in what Matt had to say about where Lincoln is at right now (and that we might get a better glimpse into this next episode? Which has me both nervous and excited but I'm trying not to think about it *too* much cause I'm already super nervous about how things are gonna pan out for the twins next episode).

It all tracks- Lincoln's increasingly nihilistic view of the world impeding on his ability to feel much of anything but nevertheless caring about how *his friends* are feeling and what they want. Being too deep in a dissociative state to process his own grief (and everything else) but caring that *Normal* is sad and doing what he can to help him.

I think Lincoln is a funny and incredibly fascinating character because if you look at his words, honestly no one can deliver a blow like Lincoln- a trademark of his brutal honesty, and in most stark contrast to Normal's "toxic positivity", neither being inherently better or worse than the other just inverted, and reflective of different values (something something cheerkicks is doomed by the narrative they should kiss etc. etc. not what the post is about). Conversely, if you look at Lincoln's actions (and Lincoln is, at his heart, an action-oriented character), truly nobody is putting their ass on the line for the people around them quite like Linc is. I've stated on several occasions that I believe Lincoln is the most selfless of the teens, and I stand by this, but this is a virtue as much as it as a flaw. It's heroic, to put yourself in a line of fire to save your friend's dad, or impale your leg on a candy cane twice to get an anchor, or hug your friend to show them you care even if it literally winds up killing you- but it also reflects self-preservation instincts that somehow manage to be even weaker than those of the guy who tried to throw himself out of a building thinking that a parachute would save him (god I love Taylor).

Lincoln cares immensely about his friends (despite his growing numbness to the world around him), but dangerously little about himself and what becomes of his own life. As a less dire example, "Apollo Four Teens" acts as a great demonstration of how Lincoln will stretch himself thin for everyone around him until there's nothing left, but forgets in the process to stop and register his own emotions and tend to his own needs. Combine this with Lincoln's perpetual "keep calm and roll with the punches" attitude towards the nonstop bullshit the teens have gone through over the course of the season, including an extensive list of unresolved issues related to Grant (which by now I've outlined fairly thoroughly), and you have a serious recipe for disaster. Characters like Normal and Scary are, relatively speaking, pretty obvious and emotive with respect to their pain, even when they are trying not to be. This is good, since it makes it easier for other characters to recognize that they need help in the first place and try to look out for them (they may not always know how to do so correctly, but the intent is there). Lincoln, in contrast, shuts down and becomes less emotive in response to his own pain (in a manner that is somewhat similar to Darryl, more similar to Glenn, and of course most similar to Grant, but ultimately different from all of them), silently building his walls up higher and higher but being no safer for it. It is partially for this reason that other characters very rarely think to check in on Linc and see how he's doing (Taylor to his credit tried after the titanic episode, but that got interrupted, and Grant does also try but- much like his own dad with him- fails to meet his son halfway in being honest and vulnerable and hence fails to make any progress), leaving him to mostly suffer in silence perhaps without even truly realizing it himself.

I guess the gist of what I'm saying is, Lincoln is in deep water, all of this has been a long time coming, and if nobody does anything about it soon... (Metaphorically-speaking of course-) that boy is going to drown.

#. Also I liked how much they talked about the shade witch (and candlethorp) #dndads #lincoln li wilson #despite how verbose this ended up I'm actually having a lot of trouble wording my thoughts tonight- #but teen talk really got me thinking about my boy so I had to try and get some of it out lol #dungeons and daddies #also posting this at a horrible time but that's not a big deal #baba babbles

hermit horror week day 6: season 6 or flesh

Cleo hums as she looks over her pirate crew. Her ship is coming more and more to life every day with the help of the new armor stand book. Bringing real pirates to life to live in her crew--it's been a dream so far. She has a real knack for it, to. Everyone keeps commenting on it.

It's funny, thinking she of all people would be good at bringing life to things. There's a joke about that, she's sure.

She flips through the book, tilts her head and frowns as the crew prepares her ship for the day. Hm, no. She needs to make some more edits, though, before she declares it done. Her crew is a little bit too all the same color, at the moment, and there aren't enough that are the right height, and...

She walks up to the nearest crew member. He looks up at her and waves methodically before going back to his programmed actions. She flips the pages in the book, finds the correct pages to nudge, and starts messing with his height to make the crew more varied.

There is a horrible snapping and popping sound as the crew member freezes in place, and his torso and limbs begin to stretch to match the new parameters. The skin twists around the bone. Bones break and regrow. She waits patiently for the changes to be done. Finally, the twisted cracking stops, and the crew member stands at his new height.

Cleo makes a face.

"Yeah, I'm not sure that's right either," she says, even as the crew member stands up to start going back to his tasks. He's sweating and shaking, which makes it a bit hard to judge, so she re-locks the armor stand in place, freezing him.

She thinks she got his limbs wrong the first time, actually; that's why the new height didn't work well. It'll be individual reposing, then.

She starts making adjustments in her book when she looks over her shoulder and sees her crew staring at her. She shudders. It's unnerving when that happens. It always makes her feel like--she brings life to her builds like this, but it's not like the things are alive.

But sometimes, when she's adjusting the scene...

"Well? You lot get back to work!" she says, and she goes back to adjusting the first crew member she has to make changes for. She'll start with the arms, since those are proportioned worst. She needs to make them a little shorter.

The terrible tearing and popping sounds continue as things break and relocate. Cleo sighs.

One day, maybe this will be less trial and error, and she'll have to hear less horrible bone breaking? Today, though, she'll be fine with it. She's a zombie, she's probably heard worse.

As she finishes setting the arm in place, there's a low, strange sound, like an aborted scream.

She's really got to ask the datapack author one day about that, she thinks, and she moves to the next arm.

#hermithorrorweek2023 #a bee fic #hermitcraft #zombiecleo #body horror #if my memory that armor stands were added in season 6 (and not before then) is wrong i'm sure this fic sounds real silly #anyway this is sort of for both prompts? #love some good armor stand horror bits amirite #this is a bit short i know its because i am having trouble making the words go tonight but i REALLY WANNA FINISH THE WHOLE PROMPT WEEK #so i made the words go that i could

writing [love]; dream, a writer.

Dream: I like writing. I like writing poems; I like writing songs; I like writing everything. I like storytelling—I just like storytelling. Storytelling in general is fun. I do a lot of storytelling through, like, my videos, through my video editing ... that's my favourite part of writing.

Dream: So, it's [love is] special, you know? You can't really explain it. Um, you know, with your mum, your dad, your—your sisters, your brothers, your cousins, your—your friends that you've known since you were a kid. Your friends that you just met a year ago that you are absolutely in love with as a person.

Dream: 'Have you written stories as well as songs lately?' Yeah—I mean, well ... I feel like songwriting is very—it's like, you just take stories—like 'Roadtrip' was, like, essentially a poem, and a story, that was turned into a song. And I feel like that's with a lot of stuff. 'Mask' is the same; 'Mask' was a poem turned into a song.

I think my favorite deleted scene from Dead Poets Society, or at least the scene I think about the most, is the scene where all the boys are sitting at their desks with blindfolds on as Keating is playing classical music. The bell rings, Keating talks to the boys, and they all leave except for Neil. He stays in his seat with his blindfold still on and then him and Keating talk. The scene is so simple, yet it makes me tear up every time I think about it.

Neil just looks so young and so happy while the music is playing. He looks optimistic in a way. He has decided that he is going to do the play despite his father's wishes. He is going to do something for himself, even if it means lying to both the male figures in his life that we are shown.

#neil perry #dead poets society #john keating #could definitely word this better but and currently crying lol #so many thoughts so little words #neil makes me sick to my stomach ;-; #thinking about dps when i should really be working on an essay that is due tonight #ahhhhh #dps

remember on buffy when evil willow from another dimension tied angel up and burned him with cigarettes just because it was would be hot if that happened? do you remember when Kira from ds9 had an evil bisexual dominatrix counterpart, also from another dimension? the sexy evil universe where everyone wears fetish gear and is a depraved bisexual used to be a genre staple. we need to bring it back.

#i'm thinking fondly of buffy sire/childe discourse tonight #appreciate how one side was like childe is an evil unsexy word that was never mentioned in the text #and the other was like us and drusilla and our daddy kinks and love of soulbonds CANNOT hear you #genuinely tho i did like how vampire society was absolutely split on whether it mattered it was just about individual feelings #and whether you were in a cult #the most important vampires were literally just in a cult! or the product of some dude who was trying really hard not to be in the cult #but was still reacting against the cult #love that for them

NO BECAUSE imagine you and sunoo are both idols and you guys end up fucking in the limo on the way home after an award show..

-🌙

what more if its this sunoo? 🫢

imagine giving each other the “glances” only the two of you could understand. it doesn’t help that you (or your group) is sitting beside their seat so both of you can easily steal looks. and the subtle smirk sunoo would have on his lips everytime he’d catch you looking at him like he’s the main event (well, he is indeed, for you) and vice versa... its more hot knowing the fact that there’s a lot of fansite cameras infront the two of you so being sunoo, despite his mind only thinking about how your outfit makes you fucking stand out and how it perfectly hugged your curves, he managed to look directly on his fansite’s camera lenses and act all cute and innocent. it went like that for the whole event until the hour ticked for when to go home. sunoo gave you a one last look and ofc, you already know what that means. he tried convincing his manager that he’d have you ride their limo and since its sunoo, his manager allowed it despite knowing how much of a mess this would all turn out the next day.

the ride back home was hot, sloppy, and messy. with your fingers tugging his hair and him leaving open mouth kisses all over your exposed neck. he kind of remembered how a lot of male idols looks like they’re about to fucking kiss you right there and then and it just made everything sunoo does rougher. in the end, you ended up getting lots of hickeys all over your neck. you have a schedule tomorrow and you hated how sunoo disregarded that, so you gave hickeys on him too... not that he mind. safe to say, the members weren’t able to get a proper rest with how loud sunoo and you were last night right after you both went off the limo.

however, the morning after that, you both woke up with jungwon almost breaking the door to sunoo’s room... cause as per the leader, both you and sunoo are trending with how much of “you x sunoo crumbs” (which only contained of you and sunoo stealing glances to each other and later smirking or giggling like a cute old married couple) was posted by both of your and sunoo’s fansites last night. 🫣

#sunoo smut #sunoo hard hours #sunoo hard thoughts #kim sunoo smut #sunny fucks : ans. #enhypen smut #sunny fucks : thinks. #🌙 anon #god... i have no words #🌙 we made something really legendary tonight #🌙 anon you are lovely <3

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with so much Iranian hate and drama <:[

oh anon. hate to break it to you (a lot of people make this mistake) but iran and iraq are two entirely separate nations.

and also i think reducing it to the words "hate and drama" kind of doesn't cover it, anon.

#i think if people were. just a little bit more informed. then maybe people would see that the people from this region are humans actually. #so anon. please. like... look at a map and do some reading maybe. if you care just a little. #i'm sorry anon but i'm a little bit at a loss for words over this message. like it rendered me speechless for a little. #but it's so common in my life that i've been called iranian and i constantly have to correct people on it. c'mon man. #i mean i have SO many iranian friends even though iraq and iran you know. aren't exactly bedfellows. politically. #but those politics don't really follow me. like in my day to day. iraqis and iranians in the uk of this generation. are again. #pretty divorced. #but it's kind of really frustrating that people Without Fail make this mistake over and over. #it's like how people just refer to “africa” as a whole. instead of recognising there are seperate nations there and. #it's not just a homogenous “other” #please. there are humans there. it's not just “foreign”. #i don't know if you're american anon but i see it a lot that anything outside of america is just “foreign” #and i mean #even as a brit. americans are constantly surprised i'm british because they forget anything exists outside of america. #i think it would be so so so so sexy of you anon to take a look at the globe tonight. give it a spin. #look at the world. it's so full and so beautiful and there are So Many Nations. #i'm going to look at my globe tonight too. i have a really cool old one. it spins so good. #and i'm going to pick some countries i don't know a lot about and do some reading about them. for funsies.

[mokeonn]

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

#simon says #to explain here and not in a reblog: #sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb #you might not have done enough research #you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument #you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this #sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution #you do what you can to fight against the problem #you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem #and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem #like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue #but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face #they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you #and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing #sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“ #sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that #i used this while talking with my Dad tonight #he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution #and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now #and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it #and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate #and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before #i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help #and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change #but all I really could do is the little things I have control over #and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over #like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet #which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue #and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best #so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

[oh-katsuki]

im gonna say something corny but... the profound effect that living in a women-only house had on me was and is insane. it was (almost) completely by chance that only women ended up living there, but i think moving in with my housemates was possibly the best decision i've ever made. i genuinely wish i could describe that kind of love and community, but i don't have the vocabulary. all that i know is that it's such a privilege to have gotten to live in that house and to love those women and to get to keep loving them. they're my most precious friends and i owe that feeling of safety and community to them. there was just something very special about that house. i was very lucky, i think. i don't think people get to love like this every day.

#im having a lot of big feelings tonight #and i miss my friends #and my house and the way it felt to live there #and come home to them #i want to grip the world in my hand and tell them how lucky i am #and i KNOW this is corny #but y'all... i hit the fucking jackpot with them i really did #and i WISH i had the words to articulate it #if i ever write one beautiful thing.. please let it be about them #vent

[fbfh]

okay I'ma be so for real with yall. after the bullshit incident with Nancy, Steve is two things: determined to be a better boyfriend, and absolutely desperate for words of affirmation. when you fall right into Stevie's big buff arms and muscular hairy chest he's already whipped. Steve loves you. like a lot. like when Steve is up late at night thinking about you (which is often) he sometimes gets freaked out by how much he loves you. Steve loves you more than he's ever loved anyone and once that hits him like a truck, he won't be able to put off saying it for long. he was planning on just telling you, just laying his cards on the table without expecting anything back, but you did before he could. you were snuggled up together about to fall alseep when you press a kiss to his nose and murmur quietly in your adorable little voice that gives him butterflies whenever he hears it, "I love you Stevie..." as you cuddle into his chest. he startles and wakes up at your words.

"Wait- like, seriously?" His voice is all gravely from being tired and up so late, and you look up at him with your big sparkly eyes.

"yeah..." you say, starting to get worried. he can tell by the look on your face, you think you said something wrong. you think he doesn't love you to.

"I love you too," he says with no hesitation. "love you so much..." he mutters against your lips as he kisses you and kisses you. you say it a lot after that, and every time you instigate, every time you tell him you love him, tell him what a good boyfriend he is, how well he treats you and how great he is, his stomach flips and he's thrown for a loop every time. you are his first reciprocated I love you, and that means so much more to him than anything ever could. three little words and he's wrapped so tight around your finger. he's head over heels for you, and every time you tell him you love him, he gets a little crazier for you.

#drabbles #steve harrington x reader #steve harrington #steve harrington drabbles #stranger things #stranger things x reader #stranger things drabbles #tell me that you love me from the victorious soundtrack starts playing #steve is a good boyfriend #he just needs some words of affirmation yk #that really is the trick tbh #GOD hes so boyfriend #so man #so bitable #saw a drabble where you wanna bite his tummy #and yeah #yeah thats how im feeling tonight
