Finally got enough energy to talk about Furina's SQ and while I loved her and the troupe, MC and Paimon were .... Not Great. I talked about this with friends but in Paimon's case especially, the way they interact with Furina feels like people who just don't understand trauma and depression and then engage with someone suffering from both in all the wrong ways.
Talking about how much of a downgrade her house is from the opera house, making fun of how she can't cook, pushing her to act when she's set a very clear boundary and then guilt tripping her after she's stuck to her guns, shaming her for not being able to fight well (Paimon literally talks about how second hand embarrassment is overwhelming and I'm just like ?????), telling her she's "not acting like herself" when she attempts to open up and be vulnerable....it's just really rough. That and the MC asking "is something wrong" when Furina gets sad over Poission ..like bro people died and she couldn't save them and she's tearing herself apart over it. Those people are never coming back and you know it and you have the gall to ask her is something wrong??? Of COURSE there is!!
It just feels especially odd because we literally get to see all of Furina's suffering and Paimon in particular is. SO mean? Like she was more understanding with Wanderer and Ei and THEY'VE tried to kill us multiple times!! I don't get it, and honestly I'm very proud of Furina for refusing to waver. Let her rest!! She's tired and depressed and she needs time to heal; and honestly fuck Paimon for trying to make her feel bad. Furina's worked harder than she EVER will.

It’s fox terrier timeeeee, what are doing???
Her name would be Teak!
We'd probably try to find someone doing barn hunt over here, which i'm not sure is a thing. She'd be my hot water bottle during the winter and she'd nip at people when we go sledding.

"Captured by the hymn, Jillian Salvius felt her phantoms deflate, the violence in her veins suddenly run slow. Her sore, tired shoulders were strangely covered by a soothing cape of song and she could not help but wonder whether her heart, so pacified, could not remain blissfully suspended as this after the music ended. For now, however, even the interrogations so natural to her scientific predisposition were silenced by the voices of women ringing together.
They all coalesced into that single psalm. Jillian allowed herself to close her eyes and join them in her own way, letting them fill her as they filled the space around them. Danger disintegrated, her wraiths chased away by prayer, song, beauty, if only for those precious seconds of unspeakable communion."

YOURE IN MED SCHOOL??? that's so crazy how are u keeping up w all of this!! ur so fucking cool what !! i'm going into compsci and that shits complicated but it's nothing compared to medical of all things oh my god 😭
- 🫘
HAHA, ask me again in three months so that I can just say outright that I'm a doctor!
I'm going to be honest, this is entirely a product of the fact that the second half of the last year of medical school is SO MUCH more chill than the first 3.5 years, which are often compared to "learning information like trying to drink water out of a fire hydrant." I tend to keep all of that bonkers med school momentum whenever I get genuine breaks (like the full month I just had of extremely chill classes), and inevitably go insane writing fanfiction instead because I have to put the energy somewhere.

Vierapril Day 6: Bloom
So the thing about Tuesday- he’s got loyalty in his bones. He’s also incredibly soft for big women.
And. Peatie is a delicate little flower who he would, and will, swear his undying loyalty to the moment she shows so much as a hint of feeling safe/comforted around him. Everyone be nice to Peatie and her new bodyguard who will blow you up to pieces if you’re mean to her.

Okay, y’all imagine with me for a second-
So
Let’s say Edward snorts when he laughs sometimes. Usually because something funny REALLY catches him off guard or some shit, right? Right, okay, wonderful, adorable-
He accidentally does it in front of Colonel Mustang.
IT’S JUST LIKE THE WHOLE MEME OF ‘When he looks at me. And I look at him. WHEN HE LOOKS AT ME-’ BUT EDWARD IS JUST STEADILY GETTING REDDER AND REDDER IN THE FACE AND MUSTANG JUST STARES LIKE “Hoh?? You lil’ shit???....Do it again-”
Then it escalates to Mustang chasing Edward all around Central Command with the determination and resilience of Goddamn JESUS CHRIST, BECAUSE HE IS READY TO TICKLE THE SNORTS OUT OF EDWARD AND EDWARD IS DYING INSIDE, SCREAMING FOR HIS LIFE-
Edward tries to get Lieutenant Hawkeye to save him.
She just salutes him saying, ‘Rest in Peace, Edward.’
LORD KNOWS HE DIED THAT DAY, COULDN’T GO TEN MINUTES WITHOUT MUSTANG TICKLING THE SNORTS OUT OF HIM AND HE’S ON DEATH’S DOORSTEP BY THE END OF THE WORK DAY.
Oh, but he totally doesn’t let it happen again like, a week later. He totally didn’t rile up Mustang into tickling him to death the very next week. Noooo, why would he ever do that? (fucking liar-)
