Every day I think of this one fic where Echo held Omega and rocked her like a baby and I just 😭😭😭 In the fic his internal monologue was about how he’s gone through all these things and has all the metal in his body and has this grumpiness and hardness about him after all he’s been through, and yet holding and rocking and caring for Omega just feels so natural to him I AM UNWELL 😭😭😭

also for that matter like. me and parker are real people and we choose what to share online. if i wanted tumblr to see the poem i wrote for her i would have posted it! but we (as individuals and as a duo) dont exist for the purpose of posting, so the implication that we DO or that i'm just okay posting private shit i wrote for her is fucking weird lmao. we have a relationship outside of what we post and just bc we dont share all of it doesnt mean its nonexistent. nobody (!!!!!!) who follows us is entitled to every bit of our relationship. peace and love <3

for your consideration in the “it’s a nice problem to have but still definitely a problem” category: the people I spent most of this summer so far interviewing with for a job didn’t hire me but, in their rejection email, they told me to apply for another job they’d be posting at the end of the month and so now I’m in maybe the most awkward job application process of my life

Can't sleep again. Thinking about how I don't like knight/prince(ss) as a trope. Besides the fact that it's boring to me. This isn't "discourse" or a call out or anything it's just a personal interpretation and analysis

while yeah there's nothing wrong with that level of power imbalance in fiction, these tropes always act like that's a cute thing which I just find to be. 😬 y'know. Referring to a character as a "pet" for the royal one without understanding that that's. not a great dynamic to have. The "don't call them toxic or problematic!" When the relationship is inherently not equal and can never be without issues, but this can't possibly be discussed because then the person who ships it is a bad person 🙃

and for someee reason still bitching about the "more obvious" power imbalances like enemies, who most of the time end up being MORE equal because they're the same person same situation different fonts

It's fine to me when it's used as an insult (something something loyalty) and then there's discussion of "you know you mean so much more to me than that", or when there's a Very Obviously Fucked Up imbalance that is Very Obviously Not Normal and yet the one that gets the short end of the stick is like "fuck this I don't care that you think you're better than me. Your power only exists because I give you it, so be very careful how you use it" (and when they use it wrong there are consequences that don't get magically forgiven)

If the one with less control isn't very very aware of how much power the other has over them and could exert if they wanted to (but also the fact that the relationship and its genuineness hinges on their agreement) it gets a bit too concerning for me. If there isn't a certain level of meta intertextual analysis and understanding of the way the very much dominant/submissive dynamic works then it's just. Not interesting and often frustrating

Edit: this should have said intra-textual ("in the text itself", which I apparently not a word) not inter-textual (between texts)

I kind of want to just restart emrys so I can play her again more perfectly this time... kill even MORE fiends and such. but also I speedran grymforge a bit & the thing is that. emrys rolls up to moonrise towers already have a deep-seated and intense paladin-specific beef with ketheric. babygirl heard that he was 1. an evil paladin 2. broke his paladin vow to TWO gods prior 3. was like That and decided Actually, I'm going to project All of my own personal issues and insecurities onto you. And then I'm going to kill you. and then she still offered to spare him. so I need the buildup to that from grymforge. you see.

there is really something cruel and strange and fucked up about switching between thinking youre the center of the universe and thinking youre completely invisible 50 fuckin times a day. like do you have a god complex or an inferiority complex make up your mind

[the-razzdazzler]

you know i thought the name Nix Hydra was familiar but only now do i remember that i used to play their stupid fucking egg game (affectionate) when i was like 9

(i know i was at least 9 cause the newer version of this game released in 2016 and i played the old version and was around to witness it migrating to the new app)

now here i am more than half a decade later being insane about their queer visual novel dating simulator

how the time flies

hear me out y'all, byler orpheus and eurydice au.

kind of like all those "mike following will into the upsidedown" fics, except the upsidedown is, well, the underworld.

like mike already canonically has a guitar in his room and there's more than a few byler band aus so clearly we're all up for musician mike wheeler, and then just like, the tragedy of it. the tragedy of that myth, I'm obsessed with it.

like??? following your lover beyond the end, desperate to bring them back because they are what makes life so worth living, and you do the impossible, striking a deal with death itself, where you and your lover are allowed to leave, so long as you do this one simple thing? you walk out and you can't turn to look back at them, you have to trust that you aren't being tricked. and you almost get there. you almost make it. but in a singular moment of weakness, caused by the same love and devotion that led you down under in the first place, you cannot bear the unknowing, the uncertainty of whether they are really accompanying you out of the darkness. so, despite it all, you cave, and you turn back. and as you look at your lover, fading quickly, as you realize they were with you this whole time, there's grief, but there's no blame or resentment. only a final understanding that this is how it was always going to turn out. like it makes me so insane sorry.

anyway the concept of will dying and mike following him, dedicated to getting him back, only to, in the end, fail? because in the end, he couldn't keep himself from looking back at who he loves??? tell me that doesn't fucking slap you can't

Silly Game Time: We are taking to the high seas as pirates ... and you're the captain!

Now, the Skull and Crossed Bones is a general classic for pirate flags, of course, but we need to personalize *your* flag so people know it's *you* who's looting their booty. Instead of those crossed bones, what does your skull have with it?

Hm... that's a tough one!

I'd be tempted to say like, a flower for kindness or a paintbrush for artistry, but I suppose in this theoretical scenerio I would be a pirate, not an artist, and a killer considering the skull, not a... spare-er ??

Assuming those things were the case... IDK, maybe I'd just go with like. Flowers anyways? Flowers growing out of the eye sockets ig?
