I've always been curious to know this about the people around me. Most people have been in severe pain, but in my experience few have had what they would say is their 10/10 experience. I guess it's just something I find fascinating, as I had my 10/10 experience quite young and I sometimes forget that not everyone has. In my opinion it changes your relationship with pain and how you engage with it afterwards. If you answered yes, feel free to elaborate on your circumstances in the tags!

Something something every time Charlie isn’t fighting to be the center of attention, he is always looking around to others to gauge their reactions and silently observing them all something something he is searching for connection, to fit in and be loved but he doesn’t know how to ask for love so instead he gains their attention by acting out in ways he knows they’ll notice and tries to pretend their attention and love are the same thing

Honestly the funniest thing about TDP to me is that Rayla for some reason always thinks Callum isn't 100% ride-or-die with her on any given situation. Seriously, she could decide she's jumping off a cliff and he'd do it too--oh wait.

I get that half of it is 'protecting' him but like. Girl he has been ready to die and kill for you since the first snake chain incident. It has not lightened up since. In fact its gotten worse. She's his special little guy and if anything happens to her he will kill everyone in the room and then himself. She physically cannot ever sacrifice herself for anyone because Callum WILL be following her straight into the afterlife in no less than a minute. I'm fully convinced he can and would go even further than Claudia and he'd barely have to think on it for five seconds before shrugging like "damn this sucks, can't believe I have to turn evil" "you literally don't have to--" "no I'm gonna"

And honestly I think that's peak teenagers first girlfriend behavior.

(Sneak-Wave pirates belong to @inzendino !!)

Jackie (deadpan): What a pleasure it is to find myself speaking with you again. Tell me, how are you Sir Donquixote?

Doflamingo: Fuhahaha! No need to be so formal with me Little Madame, I can feel your disdain through the snail! But since you asked, I’d be doing much better if you could do me a favour~.

Jackie: Look, I’m not gonna join your weird gang and yes, continuing to ask me makes you look a little pathetic.

Doflamingo: Let me have my hope that you will one day join my family! But no, that’s not it. I have been wronged and I need your help to right it: someone has stolen from me.

Jackie: Really? Who would be so foolhardy as to take what belongs to the Heavenly Demon himself?

Doflamingo: Remove the laughter from your tone, this is serious! I was stolen from! Me! And at the Killer Trade no less!

Jackie: Uh-huh, uh-huh..when does this loop back around to me again?

Doflamingo: You know who did this.

Jackie: I mean, probably. I do know a lot of folks.

Doflamingo: Not probably, absolutely. You’ve even written about them. An uppity out-of-water mermaid, a one-handed owl bastard and one of my lost Tontattas should ring a bell.

Jackie: Vergo's way with words never fails to disgust. And if you know who did it, why even call me?

Doflamingo: I don’t have time to pay small fry a visit, so I’ve sent you a little something to pass along to them~.

Jackie: Are they really small fry if they could steal from your heavenly doorstop? And what's this ‘little something’ anyway, I swear to the seas if it’s another bomb..!

Doflamingo: So touchy~. It’s just a little present from one pirate to another~, that’s all~. Call me back to tell me what faces they made Fufufu~ Ciao~

[The call ends. Jackie clicks her tongue at the Warlord's cadence before leaving her room and heading to the front of the ship to start filling her bag with deliveries. A simple looking pink box catches her eye as she holds it. Without another word Jackie heads out on her arrow. She saves that pink box for last and places it on her lap as she heads for the Sneak-Waves.]

Jackie (drumming her fingers on box exterior): I’m sure they’d understand if I just took a quick peek. Doflamingo is a sadistic conniving machiavellian asshole on a good day after all and he was uniquely pissy on that call…

[Jackie quietly lifts the lid corner and peeks inside. Immediately, her face goes pale and biles rises up in her throat. Without further hesitation she pulls duck tape out of her bag and begins taping the box shut. When she’s done there’s not a trace of pink left.]

[Timeskip to when she's with the Sneak-Wave Pirates.]

Jackie:…I can’t stop you from taking what was addressed to you and I’ll undo the tape if you ask me but, as your friend, I really, really wouldn’t open it.

Mono (almost throwing up out of fear): I VOTE WE DON'T!

Jolene (taking a swig of motor oil): You saw it?

Jackie: Yup.

Jolene: And?

Jackie: It is..certainly a message worthy of the Joker.

Jolene: *turns to Rein*: Gonna have to be a no for me as well.

Hati (sniffing): It smells like…rot.

Jackie: Definitely a rotten thing to give someone. Don’t get too close.

Rein: *looks down* Sunny?

Sol: …Your call Big Man.

Rein: Can’t lie and say I’m not curious as hell but I’m also a man who listens to wise council. Feel free to destroy it for us Jackie.

Jackie (sighing with relief): With pleasure.

[Jackie hangs out with the SWP a while before taking the box and leaving. As she heads up in the sky she pauses.]

Jackie: Sol.

Sol (hiding in the jacket pocket): Show me.

Jackie: I..had a feeling you’d say that.

[Sol hops onto Jackie's shoulder as some mini arrows undoing the tape. When they’re done Jackie turns away and opens the box lid. She hears a mix of a gasp and a choked sob from the Tontatta warrior.]

Sol: I..He…SHIKIKIKI! THAT BASTARD! I'M GONNA KILL HIM, TEAR HIM LIMB FROM LIMB!!

[Jackie rips up a handkerchief and passes it to Sol.]

Sol: DON'T GIVE ME THAT SHIKIKIKI! DO I LOOK LIKE SOME BLUBBERING CRYBABY TO YOU?!

Jackie: Of course not, I just wouldn’t want him to ruin your pretty clothes along with your mood.

[Sol begrudgingly takes the ripped handkerchief.]

Sol: ..What are you going to do with..it?

Jackie: Take the pieces and bury them as respectfully as possible then incinerate the box.

Sol (nodding): Burn some sage afterwards. It’ll keep the space free of negative energy.

Jackie: *salutes* Will do.

Sol: Good. Take me back down..please.

Jackie: Of course.

[Sol is sent off on a smaller arrow back to the surfaced sub.]

[Time cut after the box is destroyed.]

Doflamingo: Tell me, what were the looks those insignificant peons gave you when they saw the contents?

Jackie: Wholly and truly terrified. The mermaid threw up twice and the Captain looked about ready jump into the sea with cement shoes.

Doflamingo: And my Tontatta?

Jackie: There are no words in any language to describe her face in that moment.

Doflamingo: FUFUFUFU! How nice it is to know my craftsmanship was appreciated! They should do their best to return to safer waters FUFUFUFU!

Jackie: Maybe…

Yeah the team building exercises resulting in multiple party members going “maybe it’s time I lean into the dark power that might consume and kill me” does not feel super like a success to me.

I've never had noise canceling headphones before and I feel like I'm having a religious experience. I feel like a blinkered horse. Like this is WHY they were blinkered. Apparently the hypervigilance is stored in the ears for me and this not only takes that WAY down to a level I never realized was possible, it also clears the cache of that part of my brain and I can THINK.

What the fuck. Where have these BEEN. I feel like I purchased a (frankly cheaply made) superpower.

Watanuki has resolved to make her eat it anyway. 

>:) Lovely. 

Though I find it fascinating the way this problem has played out. The customer presented a problem and even though Watanuki had hints from Yuuko it didn’t make any sense to him until he discussed it with Doumeki. And then they figured it out together.

It feels like it’s signalling that Yuuko doesn’t have much guidance left for Watanuki - or at the very least, he’s finding his own way of figuring out problems in a way that makes more sense to him.

Which is good in the way that Yuuko was always limited in the kind of help she could give, because outright giving any answers would always come with a cost that she didn’t want Watanuki to pay. But we’ve entered the zone where Watanuki doesn’t need to rely on her hints as much and will figure things out naturally using his own methods. 

So that's good! But on the other hand I would like to keep Yuuko forever. 

I want it officially noted that this conversation between Watanuki and Doumeki lasted for ELEVEN PAGES before there was even a hint of faux outrage!

Eleven pages of solid conversation before Watanuki remembered that he pretends to hate Doumeki!

This is very fun knowledge for all people who are me.

Conspiracy! 

We love Mokona’s foresight and subtle manipulations to get more snacks. (And to get Watanuki to talk to Doumeki)

But even more than that we love Doumeki’s open concern for Watanuki’s wellbeing and double checking whether he can safely be here! 

OOPS nope I misinterpreted that, it wasn’t that at all. It was Doumeki double checking to see if this was the best course of action as far as the mystery was involved. He wonders whether Yuuko could have given him better help. 

But I have preemptively talked all the way through that idea so I’m glad I picked up on that undercurrent correctly!

So Reapers Rewards is very buggy. While y'all have been slaving away trying to catch that angelfish, Shay and I completed that goal... by just examining the water at the fishing spot 🫠 that's not how science works. Do we need the angelfish for ambrosia? Is there any point sending her on more 12 hour fishing trips to get it?

I finished another four days of SBL posts and reached the point I was aiming for which does take me to November 2nd once that's queued which means it's time for my break from any kind of writing! I plan to have a Disney Dreamlight Valley day because lord knows I haven't touched that in ages. Also going to replay classic Until Dawn so that when I get myself the PS5 version I can properly appreciate the improvements.

We have a church dinner tomorrow that I'm a bit stressed about because as far as I know there's no vegetarians let alone vegans like me so who knows if I'll be able to eat anything other than the salad we're taking ourselves...

i just like personally think aaron paul is a good actor and don't really have A Type assigned to him in my head, but watching "ash" in the theater and sitting there listening to him say words like "atmosphere" and "terraform", i was like. hey guys. i barely buy the fact this man can Read, let alone that he understands terraforming. maybe we cast Him as the one with space amnesia.
