Aight Rusl and Fierce need to FORCE Abel to sleep that man is SUFFERING

Rusl glanced at Abel as the latter set up a fire for the night. When the Fierce Deity walked up beside him, the Ordonian could sense the mythical being’s eyes on him.

“It’s Abel,” Rusl said quietly. “I don’t think he’s sleeping.”

“Perhaps his increased irritability gave it away,” Fierce intoned with just enough sincerity to almost make Rusl think he was being genuine. When he shot the deity a quizzical look, Fierce flicked his eyebrows with enough sass that it made the resistance member laugh.

“Look at you, knowing what sarcasm is,” Rusl chuckled. “I didn’t think you had it in you.”

“There usually seems to be enough coming from our knight to make up for it,” Fierce sighed. “I must admit, though, he does seem far more exhausted.”

“I doubt he’s been sleeping well,” Rusl noted, crossing his arms. “You’ve been keeping watch, has he been sleeping?”

“On and off,” Fierce answered. “It’s unclear if that’s his usual habit. I didn’t comment on it before as a result.”

“Exactly how much sleep do you think mortals need?” Rusl asked, finally curious enough to push the matter.

“Based on the little hero, around four hours.” The deity watched Rusl’s expression shift, and the reaction made him almost nervous as he fidgeted in place. “Is that incorrect?”

“We usually need seven to eight,” Rusl corrected. “Children usually need more. Your boy only sleeps four at a time?”

Fierce’s eyes narrowed as he turned his head slightly, seeming to be looking at nothing. “I knew that child was doing it wrong.”

“More to the point, is that how much Abel is sleeping?” Rusl pressed. They could address the other issue later.

“Oh no,” Fierce answered easily. “Far less than that.”

Rusl groaned, rubbing his forehead as a headache developed. “Well we have to make him sleep someho—Fierce, wait!”

The deity didn’t listen, picking Abel up by his tunic as the man spluttered in protest.

“What are you—”

“It’s time for you to rest.”

“Put me down—”

Rusl sighed heavily. This was going to be a long night.

Solar & Jack!!

(My au)

Solar has a patch for each person he cares about as well as just some random ones.

Star patch- Moon

Striped patch- Sun

Crescent moon- Lunar

Flower patch- Earth

Shark parch- Ruin (before the dimensional collapse occurred.) (he doesn’t take it off when he comes back.)

Solar also has his Suns ribbon wrapped around his neck, he refuses to take it off.

This design of Solar is also before he ‘died’, I will be making a new one for when he comes back.

Jack doesn’t understand emotions very well and with him slowly becoming more sentient he gets overwhelmed easily, he often thinks he’s glitching because of this and tends to hide away from others.

Jack has a collection of toys that, asides from one, he hides in an abandoned room in the Pizzaplex, he thinks they’ll be taken off him.

This is the story of Jacks favourite Plushie-

The Plushie Jack carries around is a Black Cat plushie called Pumpkin. Solar threw it to distract him thinking he would destroy it like the crisp packets and such. Instead Jack just picked it up and began observing it before being to play with it like a child would.

It confused Solar and he considered going through Jacks programming before deciding not to as it got Jack to sit still… for 6 hours straight. Solar had to take the plush off him just to get him to go charge, he also had to promise to give it back after.

Each day was relatively the same after that, Solar gave Jack the plush cat, Jack played with it- every so often throwing a new activity in along with it -and Solar could get on with his work, then when it got late he’d take the toy from Jack and send him off to charge. Pretty simple routine.

Then once when Solar was working Jack came in, without the plushie, seemingly upset. He quickly learned Jack had lost it and was panicking. He quickly check every where Jack had been and got up to check each area. He eventually found it in the theatre, on one of the chairs. He returned it to Jack who immediately cuddled the thing and followed him back to where he had been working, sitting down a few feet away.

Jack hesitated to give Solar the toy after this, so Solar made sure promise that he’d take good care of it. When he finally got it and Jack had, begrudgingly, went off to charge, he went down to parts & service and placed a tracker in the plushie.

Now anytime Jack looses it Solar just checks the tracker and returns it to Jack.

Only Solar knew of Pumpkin and that it had a tracker in it.

The Crime - The Culprits: Homework

The crime: not doing their homework

The culprits:

(Only does their science homework and nothing else)

(Inherently disagrees with the idea of assigning homework just for the sake of having homework) ((only completes homework they find relevant for their studies and beneficial for their learning)) (((sometimes does self-appointed study when the teacher sucks at giving proper homework)))

(Copies Bertholdt’s homework the night before)

(Just won’t do homework at all no matter what) ((will help Historia with her homework if she’s stuck))

(Does half, gets distracted) ((excels in cooking homework))

(“We had homework?”) ((copies half of Sasha’s, tries to copy Jean’s, but eventually has to copy Marco’s))

(Does his homework but gets it all incorrect) ((panics and copies Armin’s five minutes before class))

Arven is so used to taking care of himself that he doesn't know how to let others care for him when he gets sick.

He gets very emotional with dog movies.

Omg this is good ❣️ i think that he’d like to be taken care of, its just so hard to let people in. He’s struggling with feelings that he only ever held his parent back from their true dream. He’s not used to being anyones priority. But at the same time, something like being sick, being so vulnerable and needing care brings him back to when they did care. When his parent was there for him. It makes him deeply happy really

And YES i think Arven is definitely super emotional ab that sort of thing for obvious reason

heres a silly drawing

Is Hemp Rope Novel a Long Book or a Short Story?

So, Hemp Rope is going to be a completed novel as far as I’m aware. Sheep once shared that her publisher had found English translators for both Red Thread and Hemp Rope (once it’s finished), so I expect them one day!

Also I apologize because I’m about to go into a very long tangent about the writing process and the whole lead-up to Between Us in general. I just got very emotional and had to make a lot of words about it.

Okay so right now, Hemp Rope is up to chapter 13 or so? (I just tried to check but I can’t remember where I put the links to the Thai sites where Sheep uploads her work.) But it’s still far from finished. We’ll probably get through most of Hemp Rope’s material by episode 7.

Which is, in fact, what New recently said!

Hemp Rope is incomplete, which is part of why it took so long to finish the script for Between Us. (In addition to Sheep’s personal, ongoing struggle with mental and physical health and an incredibly harmful day job situation that she luckily got out of earlier this year.) Sheep had to not only adapt what she’d originally written as a novel for the screen, she also had to finish the story, rework the old parts of the novel that she’d written sporadically over five years from 2017-2021, make sure she was honoring the queer community with her portrayals of certain events and incidents within the story, try to create the best possible launch for BounPrem’s career as lead actors, and so much more. She made a thread to that effect in 2021 sharing how terrifying the whole process felt to her because more than anything she wanted to do well by BounPrem and New and the entire queer community with this script that people were screaming at her to finish faster so they could have their TV show. During a pandemic.

(I get very protective of her. She went through so much and I think Thai fandom is extremely supportive, but I saw a lot of pressure and insults from interfans who kept making jokes in various languages about how long it was taking and how funny it was. There were other factors that delayed BU, but none of them are especially funny, least of all what happened with Sheep. She deactivated her Twitter account once last autumn and has never really come back and interacted with fans the way she used to since.)

It touched my heart when New publicly announced last summer that he was giving her the time to rest and heal. He didn’t ask for a deadline or pressure her. He suffers from depression himself, and he was incredibly supportive and encouraging and gentle with the nightmare she was in. Even as he was trying to hold together a production studio and agency that was struggling during a pandemic able to film zero series under an abusive military government that’s hostile at best to the queer community of which he’s a member.

Like, I think these two are a powerful partnership because they understand and trust each other. When Sheep kept winning awards in 2021, she got so embarrassed about going back up onstage over and over that she asked New to come up with her so she wouldn’t be alone. She’s lovely. :’(

So yes! Hemp Rope is a novel.

And I’m so glad it’s finally being made into the series it deserves to be.

I did not have a happy childhood. I did not feel safe or loved. I was told I was safe and loved but I did not feel it. Not in my bones. Not in the way a child should feel it. And I am so sick and tired of now having to pretend I did have a happy childhood in order to assuage your guilt, to stop you from getting angry at me for feeling that way, to placate your immature tendencies to throw a temper tantrum. I pretend and I joke and I say that well yes you did shout a lot, and yes it was very frightening, and yes I felt isolated and hunted and silenced in my supposed happy home, but it’s all alright now because it didn’t fuck me up that much and in my own time I’ve done enough reading about generational trauma and deconstructed your behaviours and taught myself to forgive you so I can make peace with it, and because I’m ever so slightly well-adjusted enough to attempt to carve out a life for myself, you can cloyingly claim your success for having been the ones who raised me. I suppress and stuff it all down somewhere so I can avoid you getting defensive and making the whole conversation about you and your feelings when it was never about that in the first place. I was not attempting to point the finger or lay all the blame on you or make you feel bad. I was simply, solely, hoping you might understand. That maybe you might consider my feelings without dismissing them. That maybe you were sometimes wrong. But, there is no room held available for the way I feel. It is always how the way I feel effects you. How it makes you feel about yourself. And whilst you provided food you did not provide anything else but fear and tension and stress. I enjoyed my life more the moments when you were not in it. I wasn’t heard then and I am heard even less now. It is futile to believe you have grown up alongside me when that is never expected of adults in the same way it is of children.
