i really do hope that 911 ventures further into Chris’ abandonment issues and doesn’t just ignore it for the rest of the season

#also i think they should have expanded on the buck and chris scene #buck’s on-going storyline is allll about his abandonment issues #i love that eddie was there for chris but they really missed out on a good heart-to-heart between buck and chris #something about wanting better for your kids and working to make sure they don’t have the same trauma that you do #something about seeing too much of yourself in your kid and wanting better for them #something about doing everything in your power to ensure that your kid never goes through the same things that you did #something about raising your kids in an environment that helps them become a better person than you were #something about not wanting your kids to make the same mistakes that you did and doing everything you can to lead them down the right path #something about buck reassuring chris once again that he will never leave him #that he’s loved and he’ll always have a home #christopher diaz #evan buckley #911 abc #911 on abc #911 spoilers #buckley diaz family

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors #infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like #he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in #black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression #but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience #plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns #Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me #like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions #he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self #righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand #saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault #but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up #I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me #you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his #head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead #to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home #like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol #also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate #when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man #it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through #these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted #fallout #fallout new vegas #Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant #I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished #ulysses fnv #fnv ulysses #lonesome road

jayce and viktor are so glinda and elphaba actually

#no one mourns the wicked. need i say more? #defeating your friend and returning home a hero but deep down being devastated by it?? god #anyway. viktor and elphie and their fucking idealism against the world. or rather. the system. stupid ass wizard. stupid ass professor #also about viktor: no good deed #'my road of good intentions led where such roads always lead' #for good is about arcane jayvik and. in my heart of hearts. league jayvik's reconciliation #'just to clear the air i ask forgiveness for the things i've done you blame me for' #'but then i guess we know there's blame to share and none of it seems to matter anymore' #to conclude: defying gravity was actually written abt viktor. both incarnations of him actually. #to be clear this isn't exactly viktor lol apologism. i'm aware he's not really in the right. but guys pls they are so similar

the truest words your heart will ever utter

I want to go home

#there are oceans between the sentences #i miss home #and #i want to go home #i miss home you say #as you are reminded of the things you love #but often you can go on smiling #i want to go home you say #as your heart bleeds out #and you drown #for you know there is no walkable road that leads home #poetry #poems #spilled ink #tag poem

[micamicster]

I just am obsessed with any story that’s about people who love each other but cannot do justice to that love because they have a duty to something else first. That there is something else fundamental and demanding that they must choose over love every time. To be forced to choose one irreplaceable thing over another etc etc

#For Jiang Cheng that’s his responsibility to his sect and to their people #and the burnt and fragile remains of their home #who are all counting on him—an orphaned teenager—to protect and lead them #And as much as he might want to throw that all away to be by his brother’s side #or as much as he might want to help wen qing and wen ning #they can never come first. because first he has to keep his people safe. he can’t put them at risk #no matter how much he loves his brother #he’s not powerful enough yet for taking a stand to do anything other than get his sect burned to the ground a second time #and that turns into him standing in the burial mounds near tears as he tells his brother ‘I can’t protect you anymore’ #Which is its own bitter irony because you know wwx is thinking that it’s not his little brother’s job to protect him) #(with no idea how much he already has) #meanwhile for wei wuxian his primary duty is to help the wens #because he protected his brother at an unspeakable cost and his brother protected the sect and they’re going to be fine without him #(who only endangers them more by being around them) #which means now Wei Wuxian’s first and most important duty #is to protect this group of people who have absolutely no one else in the world who will stand with them #So even though it breaks his heart to leave his home and family he has to do what is right #It’s why I liked wen qing so much too. she and jiang cheng understood this about each other #while i don’t think jiang cheng and wei wuxian understand this about each other at all #because jc is standing there like when did i and my sister and our clan stop being your most important #and wwx is like I have already given everything I can give to you and I can only make things worse for you. but these people?I can help them #so i have to help them #as you guys can see. im not doing well #anyway watch black sails #the untamed

[ikkaku-of-heart]

Goddess Verse: Aspects of Guidance

Ikkaku is a goddess of Light and Guidance, but the Guidance aspect actually comes in three forms.

Guiding the Lost to Safety: The most literal and physical aspect of her job. If you are lost in a maze, or the forest, or anywhere else and need to get home, pray to her and Ikkaku will show you the way. Oftentimes the guidance comes in small balls of light like yellow will-o-the-wisps, but she'll come herself to guide the especially scared, like children, or stubborn, like certain swordsmen.

Guiding the Lost to Inspiration: This is the reason inventors, artists, scholars, and just those who use their minds pray to Ikkaku. When one is at a loss for words or facing a creative block or cannot find the inspiration or information they seek, Ikkaku will lead them to it. She enjoys this aspect of her job the most as she gets to see people light up with happiness and create something wonderful with her help.

Guiding the Lost to Enlightenment: The most metaphorical aspect of her job and also the hardest. When a person's judgment is clouded, when they have a moral quandary to navigate, when a person is straying from the right path, she steps in to act as a moral compass. Ikkaku will often appear in person during moments like these to talk someone through their issue and hopefully lead them from going astray. She sadly knows she can't just tell them what is the right thing to do, as that won't make them a better person in the long run. But she'll listen, make suggestions, and do her best to make the other person, god or mortal, keep from falling into the darkness and performing wicked deeds. Sometimes she succeeds, others she fails, but she will always keep trying, because she believes that deep down, every lost soul lost in the darkness wishes to be led back to the light.

#Working of the Mind (headcanons) #Divine Heart (Goddess AU) #(the goddess of light and guidance label is both literal and metaphorical and I love it) #(lost and alone? she'll lead you home and to friends) #(in need of inspiration? she'll be your muse) #(making bad moral decisions? she'll nudge you to making better ones) #(it's no wonder she's so exhausted; poor girl is doing too much on her own. this goddess needs someone to help with one of these aspects)

idk something about taylor just hits different than other artists.

#leah rambles #this is the epitome of being a swiftie lol #just yelled my heart out to betty #like obv i sing with my whole chest for other artsists #and like #probably has something to do with the fact that she's been in my life for like 15 years or something now #but goddddd #maybe she's just home yk... #BUT IF I JUST SHOWED UP AT YOUR PARTY WOULD YOU HAVE ME WOULD YOU WANT ME #WOULD YOU TELL ME TO GO FUCK MYSELF OR LEAD ME TO THE GARDEN #IN THE GARDEN WOULD YOU TRUST ME IF I TOLD YOU IT WAS JUST A SUMMER THING #I'M ONLY SEVENTEEN #I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING BUT I KNOW I MISS YOU #so i showed up at your party... yeah i showed up at your party.. YEAH I SHOWED UP YOUR PARTY!!! #STANDING IN YOUR CARDIGAN!!! KISSING IN MY CAR AGAIN!!!!! #song post #i guess #meg i am so close to [redacted] i'm SO close i'm just waiting for the right time

[cinnabeat]

i have a love hate relationship with studying artists bc i dont like the fact that just bc theyre dead and long gone we can comb through every inch of their personal life just to get one step closer to discovering their intentions when creating a certain piece. but on the other hand you really cant effectively analyze art without understanding the context and more often than not the context includes extremely personal details you wouldnt tell anyone but your closest friends and family. i hate that theres this expectation that your art HAS to mean something personal to you otherwise theres no point to it. isnt it enough that you look at it and create your own meaning?

#theres some people who have things to say tho. and they articulate that into their art #which is fine! like art means so many different things to people and the reasons you create it are all valid #but idk. it bothers me that you have to know this random persons entire life story. just bc they made a famous painting or whatever and now #you have to analyze it #i hate the inherent invasion of privacy that comes with art analysis #i really notice it in my seminar class #bc heres a real life person in front of me showing their work and literally spilling their heart out #and all the wuestions i have to answer are like. what lead you to doing this and how did your life experince effect how you made art #and other shit like that #and i hate it but i UNDERSTAND why but i hate it anyways #i get why hut i hate the fact we have to do it anyways #i hate how PERSONAL art is #even if its like. just some random character youre drawing its still so personal #maybe its an insignificant detail. like i have an oc i like to draw a lot and i made her in middle school in the height of my ml phase when #i was home sick with a fever. i drew her on copy paper and random office supply markers and pens in my brothers bed bc he was in school #like maybe its mot super personal and something i want to keep with me #but it says something about yourself anyways #the mortifying ordeal of being known and all that i guess #i hate that you cant really just say oh i just made this using these images bc i thought they looked nice. no other reason than that. and pe #people wont really pay much attention unless its super interestinf regardless #like last semester with my painting final with the collage. my professor let me soeak for like 30 seconds and then was like well your techni #technique was nice and other really lame critiques and then just moved on. she gave everyone else super in depth words and just kinda glosse #glossed over mine #anyways like i said love hate relationship #michi tag

[mypartoftown]

Sometimes i read ppl’s takes on Taylor’s personal life and realize they’ve said everything and nothing, like a maze hitting every point and ultimately coming out the finish line unchanged, and i wonder what it’s like to have a life that this music doesn’t resonate so fully with so as to believe this album exists for any reason other than to be felt.

#they out here reading her lyrics to get her life like a plot point in a story #my dudes in devastation you gotta lead with your heart feels not with your hot takes #anyways ttpd is a hypherfixation on the level of dirk gently and scavengers reign #it’s a part of me forever #wait i have an idea #thirty home games

ᴘᴀʀᴛ ᴛᴡᴏ

Coriolanus is 12 when he sees you for the first time. Your red uniform is pressed perfectly and your school bag looks brand new. Your lunch consisted of a hearty-looking sandwich with roast beef and lettuce and a container of fresh fruit that had his mouth-watering.

"Do you want a piece? Our maid always packs too much and I can never finish it. You can have some if you want." Your voice fills his ears

A delicate-looking hand is holding a juicy-looking strawberry in front of him. He reaches for it and it takes every ounce of self-control he has not to shove it in his mouth. Instead, he takes a small bite and thanks you for sharing.

"Don't you have a lunch today?" You ask

He doesn't. The school had said they would start supplying the students with lunches soon but how soon? Coriolanus had already been attending for a number of years and still nothing.

"I already ate it." He lied

"You're still hungry though. You can have the rest." You say with a smile as you push your fruit bowl to him.

"Is it your first day?" He asks

"Yes, my mother thought that my governess wasn't doing a good job so she had my father enroll me here. I miss being at home with my new kitten though. She has long white hair and she is the cutest thing in the whole world." You said

Coriolanus can't believe that you had your own governess, let alone a pet to call your own. He later learns from Arachne that your father became incredibly rich by manufacturing weaponry for the Capitol. Despite your inherent wealth, you've never flashed it around him.

You and Coriolanus are 15 when you discover all the lies he tells at school about his family. He had left his uniform jacket behind on his chair and you got his home address from Sejanus, meaning to give it back so he'd have it for tomorrow. Instead, you had discovered the Snow's decrepit-looking building and barely functioning penthouse. Coriolanus' heart nearly stops when he emerges from his room to see you and his Grandma'am sitting together as she compliments your shoes.

"What are you doing here?" He asks, ready for your judgment and teasing words

"I wanted to return your jacket, Coryo. You'll need it for tomorrow."

The red of the jacket in your arms matches his face as he ushers you to the door, trying to hide the fact that Tigris was preparing cabbage in the kitchen that would undoubtedly stink the entire place up with the scent of the Snow's poverty.

"Stop rushing me, your cousin invited me to stay for dinner." You say trying to stop the way he is leading you to the door.

"You don't want what she is making. Tigris is a terrible cook." He said

Tigris lets out a shout of disagreement from the stove and Coriolanus ignores it.

"How about, I go out and get something to add to the meal Tigris is cooking, and by the time I get back you change your attitude about me staying for dinner Coryo. "

And with that, you walk out the door and slam it in his face. He's rather stunned at your declaration but knows you're serious. He rushes around their home, trying to clean up what he can while Tigris laughs at his frantic motions. Then, just as he was debating whether or not he wanted to change out of his uniform, you return from your short trip to the closest market.

"I wasn't sure what Tigris is cooking so I got a couple of things." You say placing the bags on the table.

Coriolanus is sure you spent a fortune on what is in these bags. Fresh bread accompanied by a sickly sweet fruit spread and a block of butter sits in one while the other holds something else in a brown box. You take your seat next to him at the ugly little table he has eaten too many meals at and cut a piece of the bread for Grandma'am. He is worried when Tigris starts portioning out the cabbage she cooked on the stove. Coriolanus watches your expression as you take a bite but nothing that he expected happens. You don't knit your brows in disgust or get up to leave and take your fresh bread and mysterious box with you. Instead, you go back for a second bite and compliment what Tigris has done with the food.

He sits stiffly next to you and can barely accept the slice of bread you offer him. You excuse yourself to use the bathroom and Tigris reaches across the table and pinches his shoulder.

"Stop sitting like that, Coryo!" She scolds

"Like what?" He asks,aware that Tigris meant how oddly straight his back was.

"You're making her uncomfortable. You've been friends with her for years she isn't worried about what our home looks like." Tigris says

"She might not be but what happens when she goes to school tomorrow and talks?" He asks

He shuts up when he hears the sound of the bathroom door opening again.

"That was lovely Tigris. I've never had anything like it, I'll have to invite you all to my own home for dinner sometime. Our cook makes these pastries that are simply wonderful. They even get sold at local markets, which leads to this..."

His eyes widen when you finally unveil what was hiding in that second bag. A dozen expensive looking deserts sit in the brown box you brought, each one decorated differently.

"I hope I picked something everyone would like. I know Coryo mentioned that Grandma'am liked chocolate so I picked this one just for her."

Coriolanus feels a wide smile stretch across his face as you pass out your little desserts. His worries about you gossiping to their peers fade from view as he bites into what he thinks is a croissant. You laugh at his reaction and toss a napkin at his face which is most likely covered in the gooey fruit filling that was in his pastry.

He walks you back to your home that night and thanks you for making his night. He can't remember the last time Grandma'am had smiled from eating chocolate. You accept his thanks and gently tell him that he shouldn't be ashamed about his financial situation. He never gets to disagree with you though because a soft kiss is pressed to his lips followed by a rushed,

"Goodnight, Coryo! Thanks for the cabbage!"

He walks back to his own home with a jump in his step. Thoughts of you consume him as he smiles to himself, proud his first kiss was shared with you. He feels his heart burn with something that felt like it was going to come up and out his mouth as he finally made it back to his room, you officially had him wrapped around your finger.

Your room is flooded with sunlight the first time Coriolanus sees it. A soft, silky-looking bed spread sits atop one of the biggest beds he has seen as you beckon to your cat, Maisy to come and say hello to him. He looks at the oversized wooden dresser that sits against one wall. He sees the photograph of him and you that was taken a few weeks ago at your 17th birthday party nestled among little knickknacks. Books Coriolanus has never even heard of line your shelves as he you place a record on the player that sits on your desk. Soft sounds of a piano and the words from an unnamed singer fill your gorgeous room as he turns to you.

"Do you want to dance?" He finds himself asking

You accept and he leads you or well tries to. You're rather stiff and it turns out dancing is harder than it looks because he isn't any good at it either. You laugh as he trips over his feet and end up falling with him, landing on the ground entangled in each other. Your fingers brush his curls from his eyes as his nose brushes yours.

"What're you doing?" You ask quietly

"Nothing." He responds, his eyes flicking to your lips.

The moment his lips touch yours, a tingle shoots down his spine. This is a real kiss, not what you gave him when you were both 15. He cups your face and your hands are tangled in his hair as he deepens it. He felt his head spin as you moved against him, almost as if you wanted him to swallow you whole right here on your bedroom floor. A giddy feeling swelled in his chest when he pulled away for air.

"Coryo...what was that?" You ask

"I thought you'd know by now. That was a kiss, darling." He laughed brushing his thumb across your lip

"I know that...but why'd you give me one?" You ask

"Don't you know?" He smiles and places a chaste kiss on your lips "My heart, it burns for you, it always has."

Part 2 is out now!
