I feel as if my very words mean nothing. I try and seek assistance yet only to be met with deafening silence. Am I truly alone?

No. I must be whole again. I need something, someone, anything. The ceaseless void within me must be filled with flame or lightning.

Both. It must be both. I must reclaim what is rightfully mine.

By the Blinding One, am I going mad?

"So you got everything scheduled?"

"Yes."

"The new merch lines are ready to go?"

"Mhm."

Mothiva has asked him these questions already, but he can't blame her for worrying so much. She always wants her shows to go right, he always makes sure they do.

It's early in the morning, Zasp is putting the dishes on the shelves they belong while Mothiva mostly talks at him, carefully brushing out her fluff as she does. He doesn't mind that she prefers not to help, their chores are something he rather enjoys. She likes to talk about her ideas and double check her plans with him, he simply affirms when he needs to. While not one for talking himself most times, he'll gladly listen to her all day.

"By the way, that creep moth isn't distracting you anymore, is he?"

Zasp nearly dropped the plate he was holding, and it took a lot to not react too visibly. He certainly knew who she was referring to, and his anxiety spikes immediately. Even so, he does his best to remain calm and looks at her in confusion.

"Leif? No, we've barely looked at each other for ages now."

"Uh-huh. I could've sworn I saw you talking to him recently."

His antennae lower, he feels cold suddenly. He grips the plate in his hands tighter.

"H...he was just trying to bother me. It's not--"

The wasp barely had time to brace himself when a brush was hurled in his direction and collided with his head, causing him to stumble back into the wall and promptly drop the plate from his grasp. Neither of them cared as it shattered on the floor.

"Don't be an idiot, Zasp! Shouldn't you know better? I told you to stay away from those freaks, and what do you do?!"

Quite clearly, Mothiva is furious as she stomps her foot to further express that. And Zasp, for his part, is visibly shaking. He thinks he should be used to this, he's no less afraid.

"I-I'm sorry..."

It was the only think he could stutter out, he wasn't about to talk back to her. Mothiva stared at him with daggers. There was a sharp ache in his head, there's a crack just over his scarred eye that she seems to notice. Her harsh gaze appears to soften slightly and she huffs as she walks right up to him. He only braces himself out of habit when she reaches her hands up to him, wincing as she gently holds his face.

"Look what you made me do, Zappy. Listen... Just stay away from him. You know he's no different than anyone else. You're smarter than this. He just wants to turn you against me. Now c'mon. Let's clean up this mess."

The wasp couldn't bring himself to respond, he only nods. Much as he doesn't want to believe that...she may be right. It was hard to believe anyone else would actually want to put any effort into him for a friendship.

The rest of the day went as if nothing ever happened that morning.

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

gf fandom in 2016: if you so much as hint - even jokingly! - about the nature of ford and bill’s relationship being anything other than platonic (and even then you NEED to give a disclaimer that bill is manipulating him!) then you support abusive relationships
