Joel bursts into tears.

Okay, maybe that’s a bit overstating it. She doesn’t start wailing at the top of her lungs or anything - just feels her eyes well up in an instant, the chill of dread run through her and her stained lips push together with the clench of her jaw. She blinks and the tears come loose.

Bit from the end of @yellowsomethings' trans Joel fic which is sooo so so good.

kinda a follow up from my earlier post but i think a very key bdubs trait is that he will believe in just about anything if he cares enough and when i say believe i mean commit so wholly that he will sacrifice his firstborn for it. so i do think it's funny to imagine him as a pinterest type girlie who is REALLY into astrology and knows everyones moon and rising signs and collects healing crystals and is generally insane. i think he would line up that one time he went missing in the jungle with his star chart and be like ohhh cuz venus was in retrograde i went crazy LOL that explains so much and nobody is willing to challenge him on it because its not worth the effort

Silly idea stuck in my head since lil baby Loon was added to the cast of @bloo-the-dragon's SAMS Mer AU. HAD to draw it just to get it out of my head.

Don't worry, Loon was okay. As natural clingers, I'm sure baby mers are also good at wedging themselves in small spaces for safety, so he would do that before he could flush too far down the pipe. Eclipse could juuuust reach him and get him pulled out!

Loon was perfectly fine, but Eclipse probably got a minor trauma from the experience.

Always keep perfect track of your kids at all times.

Enjoy!

Having a really long-term hyperfixation that has since faded is terrifying yes but it's also so embarrassing. Hi I used to think about Scrimblo Splungus 25/7. Yeah, for 2 years straight. Nah, I don't think about them anymore except for with a vague sense of melancholy as I recall how they used to make me feel. Anyways this new one, Blimpkins McGee? I'm gonna think about them forever and the cycle will NOT repeat in 2 years. Trust me guys.

having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing

Watching the politics tag fill up with exhausted liberals talking about how they're too drained to keep resisting and no one should blame them for that and like. Yeah, you're right this sucks and you shouldn't be forced to do it to be treated as human and you shouldn't need to be able to be on and in activist mode all the time either and ALSO

I've been doing this since 2002. My mother did this from 1981-2015. My auntie marched in Alabama during civil rights and my childhood minister has been in resistence since the Vietnam war and has shown no signs of stopping as she collects civil disobedience arrests across all 50 states like badges of honor.

And you all are burnt out after 8 yrs of some of the biggest (and therefore LEAST DEMANDING ON YALL PERSONALLY) movements we've ssen in decades because you feel too poor and tired???????

My mama would go around to every grocery store she had friends working at in the valley and collect all the food they were gonna toss, then host educational salons where she fed everyone in the neighborhood and performed innoculation work. She was a single mom raising a deeply disabled child ALONE on a salary half that of her male coworkers you think she had money? You think she had TIME????? NO!

If you are tired now, I'm sorry to be harsh, but it is BECAUSE YOU DID NOT LISTEN when you were told you needed to settle in for the long haul. You DID NOT LISTEN when organizers shared with everyone their practices around self-care, specialization, community care, and communication, and you spent the last 8 years burning the candle at both ends in person and online with no regard for the actual WORK only for your own fear and feelings of reassurance.

This will never sustain change. I'm sorry. I truly am. I never wanted this for anyone who came after me and I have so much grief that it's here. But I also do not have time to force yall to fucking listen to us when we talk.

Stop trying to assert that only the wealthy and energetic resist. Anyone I see doing so will be bitten repeatedly until fucking dead.
