i truly, from the bottom of my heart, do not believe that jeremy’s backstory is going to be horrifying in the vein of the mafia-exy ties expected in this series. it’s the sort of devastating that makes you hate going home, that makes you have a different text tone for family, one so loud it makes you flinch, that makes you not want to hear your last name, that makes you expect conflict from your sister, mother, and brother. we know jeremy doesn’t like jokes about suicide and cat is aware of this. we know jeremy’s dad is/was in the military. we know something happened at the fall banquet, something related to the group being called the floozies and something that made annalise hate exy and ‘ruined their family’. we know all of these things impact jeremy’s daily life and who he is as a person. the mafia or the raven’s cultish society don’t need to be involved in his backstory for it to hurt him or for him to be in therapy. suicide and trauma and shame and familial dysfunction/abuse and estrangement can fuck up a person badly enough.

if i had a nickel for every aftg character who is gay blonde service top with serious sibling issues, does not like cops, falls in love with a traumatized pretty boy who is owned by a mafia family, i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice right

Literally every single Neuroscience guy I listen to on audiobooks and podcasts: Multitasking is a lie. You are not more efficient. You're just rapidly switching between tasks and doing all of them slower but your brain is tricking itself into thinking it's more efficient because you get a little dopamine reward when you activate the 'change task' neurons. And you're burning up way more glucose in the process, leaving you more tired with less done. STOP MULTITASKING. JUST DO ONE THING. PLEASE IT'S ONLY WORSENING YOUR ATTENTION SPAN. WE'RE BEGGING YOU, PLEA--

My ADHD: Don't listen to them, babydoll. You are sooooooo efficient and attractive. Whoop. You got an email. Whoop you got a text. Whoop you got a blog ask. WOW look at all the tabs open on this window. Do you even remember what they're all for? Better look through them and close the ones you're not using because you're soooo sexy and efficient. Whoop, email again.

Neil: "Ichirou Moriyama didn't look like much"

Jeremy: "He was jarringly handsome and perfectly dressed in a suit that screamed obscene wealth"

Thank you Jeremy for caring enough to tell us when a man is handsome and for knowing enough about clothes to notice when an outfit is nice. We would never get that from Neil

i love how whenever i write anything my plans for it will inevitably go haywire. oh this little one-shot itsy bitsy teeny tiny fluff story? i blink and it's stretched and mutated to become an orwellian dystopian novel. this side character who appears for .0001 seconds in my work in progress? what do you mean "side character"? they're the main character now and the whole story hinges on them.
