finnie came over after work yesterday and we sat on the porch drinking dollar bucket nonsense and talking about truck fires and human people, young slime life, sweetwater creek, stolen carbon paper, and the astonishingly brief tenure of short billy. it was a good day
hot take: "Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene" goes SO hard and of all of Hozier's songs, it gets absolutely NO credit for slapping as much as it does.

Also, after the whole fighting-Ranrok thing (gotta happen in March, right? still snowy out), Clara is wounded via knife slash to her ankle, also twisted same ankle, got walloped by a troll, scratched up her legs something awful sliding on rocks, and then watched her favorite professor die. She’s in hysterics when Sharp and Prof. Onai are trying to corral her up to the hospital wing. She keeps trying to escape and go find the entrance to the mined tunnel.
Pls keep in mind, she’s 15, been awake for like 36 hours straight, and just lost someone important to her (again, so like, old memories of her sister dying are resurfacing). Obviously, she is a pillar of calm and collected sanity.
Additional Information: When the tremors with the Ancient Magic started, the Profs who did not go to help fight were herding students into the Great Hall, like when Sirius scratched up the Pink Lady’s portrait. So a not insignificant number the student body heard Clara’s screeches, snuck to the door and saw the floating cot with a body under a sheet, the haunted looks on the professors as they return.
Rumors circulate. As they do.
So two mornings later, when Sebastian has worked up the nerve to actually talk to Clara (he heard her parents were summoned in the middle of the night, also heard she lost her mind, that a dragon lived under the castle, castle was almost blown up, etc... who knows what’s true). So. He’s going to talk to her. Which he’s talked to loads of girls, and talked to Clara loads of times. Except that she’s refused to talk to him since the Uncle Solomon incident, and that’s why he’s nervous and trying to talk himself into seeing her.
Instead he Lurks (defintely lurking) outside the hospital wing, unsure if he wants to talk to her or not. He sticks his head into the door, half hoping she’s still sleeping and half-hoping she’ll see him and all that awkward guilt will vanish.
Sebastian is treated to a view of privacy curtains halfway down the wing. And through a little gap, he gets a glimpse of her lacing up her corset. Just for like, 1 total second.
5 minutes later, a bunch of second-years watch him sprint out of the castle and dive headfirst into the lake.

"Sorry if you get this question a lot, but. Do angels have bigger beds to accommodate for their wings?" Asking the REAL questions to Pit here, Jae. "Would you say you sleep with your wings tucked in or out-- I swear I haven't been thinking about the physics of this for a while, this just kind of popped up in my head." She's been thinking about this for a very long time. She would've asked the other angel had he not given off an aura that felt like a very watered down Cruel Smash Mii. The funnyguy was probably the better route to take. D. Do the other smashers know her name or is she just known as the 'Mii kisser'. Oh god, she walked into this situation too casually, didn't she.
Finally they're threading for real /lh || @emptyzone
❝ Oh — hey! Ah... ❞
Don’t say Mii kisser, don’t say Mii kisser, don’t say Mii kisser.
❝ ...Jae, right? Gwen’s girlfriend? ❞ Eh, well, he didn’t technically say Mii kisser. He’d call that a win.
Never mind. He could address how awkward that was later ( or not. Preferably not ). Right now, it seemed like Jae had something she needed to say, and so Pit would let her, curiosity glimmering in his eyes. Come to think of it, they hadn’t really gotten to talk much outside the ring before...
❝ Don’t worry about it! I don’t mind. ❞ Sure, he got asked some variation of “how do you do this or that with your wings?” pretty often, but a lot of different things got plugged into the blank. He supposed it was only natural for anyone without wings ( which was a lot of the fighters ) to wonder.
❝ Compared to a human’s bed, yeah, they’re wider. Gives you the option to go tucked in or out. I’m usually a tucked-in sleeper, myself. Feathers make for a pretty good built-in blanket, y’know. ❞ All spoken with a goofy grin — especially that last part. ❝ Sometimes I’ll stretch them out, though. Especially on hotter nights like we’ve been having... ❞
rereading the books made me realise that by not letting him be conscious for all those thousands of years he quite literally never matured mentally or even emotionally. he never had a chance to ruminate on his actions and he is emotionally and mentally stunted to the point of going beyond the medical definition of severe mental retardation in adults according to the WHO:
The World Health Organization (WHO), in its ICD-10, defines mental retardation as a “condition of arrested or incomplete development of the mind, which is especially characterized by impairment of skills manifested during the developmental period, which contribute to the overall level of intelligence, i.e., cognitive, language, motor, and social abilities.” Guidelines suggest that an IQ of less than 70 is indicative of mental retardation. ICD-10 further suggests the use of culturally relevant, standardized measures of social maturity and adaptation for assessing functional abilities. No guidelines are provided, however, on cutoff scores for adaptive behavior deficits. ICD-10 allows for assigning a diagnosis of mental retardation when an individual has both mental retardation and a coexisting mental or physical disorder.
As much as I think that he's kinda just been evil from the moment he was born, or at least way too power-hungry for an infant to be immediately scheming out of the egg, it's hard to say he had nearly as much time as would probably have been necessary for a narcissist of such a scale to actually realise that they fucked up as significantly, like to the point of becoming Adolf hitler at his worst, at the human-age equivalent of 14-16 years old. he quite literally never matures beyond a few months after imprisonment, which... explains a few things, namely why he continues to act like a 5 year old dragonet. I like to think that he could probably be helped, but given that clearsight and fathom's attempt to help probably set him back even farther by skyrim dragonbreaking him, effectively. this is a motherfucker and a bitch who is incapable of self-help without extreme circumstance relative to their own, ever extremifying circumstance.
which is why it took him seeing that his soul was as fresh as Margaret thatcher in order to see that maybe automated ethnic cleansing and functionally condemning his "soulmate" to continental-exile-by-shame-and-anxiety, as well as managing to be so horrifically manipulative it took a real-life-narcissist to be a foundation for him, to finally realise that he might need to think this one out before saying a word again. i still don't think that the peacemaker solution is a good idea, but that's a question for book 16 to solve.
i still think he could be fixed the same way that hitler was theoretically salvageable before his wunderwaffe obsession and deciding to make friends with his mentally insane cronies in power. with enough therapy, a shock collar and a padded cell he might be barely salvageable to at least get visits from relatives once a month.
TL:DR this motherfucker, evil as he is, got a single thing right: he can't catch a break to ruminate on his actions.
also he should have gotten the kars treatment of condemnation to eternal consciousness but physical paralysis so as to enter eternity timeout. would it backfire horribly and he festers more than an open sore in Galipoli? knowing tui, probably.
