i don't really enjoy making statements about players mental health but like daniil is so clearly burnt out and the fact that he said it's been like that for 2-3 years???? Like that's crazy but it also shows that this issue is not results driven. That's what 2022 to now? '22 and '23 were some of his most successful years coming off the USO win and also becoming no1. For his mentality to have been this bad even for that??? Like that's get him to a psychiatrist level. That's im spiking his water with antidepressants level,,

Ohhhhhh that last ask where you mentioned him forgetting Jason's dimples just drives me crazy. I love that sort of angst where they wake up one day and realize they forgot something about the person they love most. The horror, the rising panic as they desperately search their mind for something that will remind them. Like-

He scrambled for picture after picture, hands shaking, breaths coming out quick and short. Simultaneously, each picture was held gently, lovingly, achingly. Despite this, with every passing minute no single picture gave him the answer he was looking for. Setting them down he got to his feet. Dick scrambled for the door, running, running, running, and finally barging into his dad's study.

"Chum?"

"Dad", he choked out, "dad did Jason have freckles on his face? I cant- oh God I can't remember." He trailed off. "I can't remember."

Oh wow okay yeah that broke my heart clean in two 😭

It’s natural for memories to become foggy with time, but when it’s memories of loved ones that are gone already… it’s agonizing. 😔🦉

(Dick regularly repeats Jason’s special little hoot to himself because he’s terrified he’s going to forget it. But after a year— how can he be sure that’s really what it sounded like?)

I hope everyone is doing well this light. If you aren't, there are still a few more hours to turn it around, right? (Or you can sleep. Turn it off and on again.)

apparently, people will look at you a bit strangely if you quote a bit from a standup comedian in casual conversation and they weren't expecting it.

thankfully my wife and partners are used to me and i don't much care about everyone else's opinions.

A detail I like in ISAT is how as the loops progress Siffrin gets hungrier and hungrier. Like how when Isabeau offers him half his cookie, in the early acts Siffrin just wants it but in act 4 it's "your stomach screams". Which makes sense, they're burning an incredible amount of energy to use time craft so his body is trying to compensate however it can.

Y'all will see a man so passionate about life that he doesn't want anyone to die, and who trusts his own gall and stubbornness to protect them, and then call him suicidal.

Heya!!! Here’s an unedited excerpt from the next chapter of Burning the Candle at Both Ends! Life permitting, the final draft should be written and up by the end of the week! I hope y’all enjoy😁💗

——————————————

“Just take your time, Danny. I promise I’m not going anywhere this time.” Jason had hoped his words would have a soothing affect on Danny, seeing as how he didn’t feel entitled to the idea of comforting him in the form of physical contact quite yet, yet all it did was cause Danny’s tears to form faster in the corners of his eyes.

“But you will. You should. You can’t promise something like that when I know that’s the only way this is going to end. I don’t deserve anything more.” The first of Danny’s tears slipped free from his right eye, trailing down his cheek and hitting his leg where it still sat on Jason’s bed.

“I just- I thought I’d really lost you when I got back to the apartment and everything was gone and you weren’t answering your phone and I just- I j-just-” Danny’s tears quickly devolved into steady rivers of pure agony, his breath receding inward as he verged on the tipping point of full blown hyperventilation.

Not knowing what else to do, Jason closed the final chunk of distance between the two of them and pulled Danny into his arms, taking a seat on the bed right next to him. Danny hid his sobs in Jason’s neck, wetting the edge of his shirt in the process. Jason couldn’t give a single fuck less though, only caring about comforting Danny in that moment right there.

“I can’t lose you.”

Another week has passed without me finding the time to write. And I'm starting to think that it will be that way for a while. There are a lot of contributing factors in my real life that make finding the time for myself really very difficult, but also:

Fandom writing has been weird for me these past few months. It's always been throwing words into the void, but it's been a whole lot more void-like in recent days. I'm not even trying to point the finger at people (although we all know everyone is feeling the lack of support from readers) - I need to decide what my own motivations are here.

If I write, I write. If I don't, I don't. If you read my stuff and enjoy it, I ask you to relay that information to me. Otherwise, I'm left to assume no one cares one way or the other if I do bother to write here. (And if that's the case, why should I take the time?)
