For Better and For Worse

Momo

RE:VALE'S MOMO REVEALS SHOCKING SCAR?! A fashion mix-up during a live performance on Monday revealed a startling discovery about one of Japan's top idols: a 10cm long scar up his left ankle. Fans everywhere are wondering just what sort of injury might have left such a wound, and what it means for the future of Re:vale. Some wonder if the 25-year-old idol was hurt in the recent wire rigging incident reported on last month, while others speculate that this represents a far deeper and more grievous trauma. But one question looms large in everyone's mind: does this injury spell the end for Re:vale?

"'Fashion mix-up,'" Yuki scoffed, throwing the tabloid down in a fit of pique. "Your pant leg tugged up a few centimeters. That was hardly the scandalous striptease they're making it out to be. And that scar couldn't possibly have been from the wire incident; any monkey with half a brain could see that."

"They'll forget about it by next week. They always do," Momo said breezily. "Must've just been a slow week. We should've given them something to really talk about," he teased.

Yuki was still frowning at the magazine with its blurry photo of Momo's leg. "You've had that scar since well before you were an idol anyway."

"Honestly, I'm surprised no one's noticed until now! It's not like I really try to hide it. What's there to hide? Some really nice doctors fixed my leg and now I can walk again! I bet the fans would celebrate if they knew!"

Yuki chuckled at that, eyes finally lifting from that rude tabloid to land on Momo instead. "And it really doesn't hurt anymore?"

"Nuh-uh, I'm fit as a fiddle! I bet I could even do a back flip right now if I really wanted. Or the cancan! I could do the cancan!"

Momo's chatter was reassuring, and Yuki dragged his thoughts away from silvered scalpel marks dug into his flesh and shiny welts stretched over titanium-reinforced bone. Yuki knew all too well what scars could mean for an idol's future. But so long as Momo was determined to stay by his side, maybe their Re:vale's story would have a different ending.

My friend was teasing me about being a Beatles fan and she said Paul McCartney would probably find it weird that he's still a topic of conversation for young women in 2024 and I didn't know how to break it to her that he definitely assumes that everyone is talking about him literally all of the time

If Christopher is Eddie's soul, and Eddie trusted Buck enough to give his SOUL to Buck then telling him "there's nobody in this world I'd trust my son more than with you" was his love confession and The Will was really just Eddie's wedding vow 🙂

A conversation I had earlier this week, plus a couple of random unrelated comments I read on the internet, have me curious about this.

A couple of definitions for the poll:

"personally know" = you could call, text, or otherwise privately message that person right now to have a casual conversation, or you could do so at some point in the past. For this purpose, "they follow me on social media somewhere" is not sufficient.

"relatively famous or powerful" - the person is at least somewhat well known in their industry, either by the public or by other professionals in the industry. i.e., for movies/TV, this can range from "is a famous actor" to "is an experienced costumer who has worked on a bunch of major movies or TV shows" and anything related or in between.

"entertainment industry" - seems self explanatory, but in general this means any industry that produces movies, TV shows, cartoons, books, plays, podcasts, games, music, etc etc. The size of the industry is fluid - mostly I'd say if it's something where you could find a fairly sizeable group of people talking about it on the internet, it counts, be it Taylor Swift or the podcasts on MaxFun or an indie game with a thousand passionate people subbed to its subreddit.

The conversation was about whether it's more common now, with the internet, to know someone vaguely famous or not, and how the definitions of such have changed. And part of me wanted to make internet versus offline a criteria here, but this is simpler.

does skyclan have a unique dogwhistle also?

Nah, they don't actually have Thistle Law yet. Sharpclaw is actually what the other Clans consider a Traditionalist.

Euphemisms and dogwhistles exist when you can't be open about your positions, to signal to others in your group that you mean something else.

Sharpclaw was very open about how he didn't want Daylight Warriors to be part of SkyClan. When he waxes poetic about how Spiderstar's Plan Worked And That Era Is Over, that isn't a dogwhistle. That's just a plain old excuse for his bigotry.

It could BECOME a dogwhistle in the future, but SkyClan has simply not been part of the Lake culture long enough to have assimilated as much. Not to mention that Sharpclaw and his cohorts joined The Kin and ended up removing themselves from SkyClan.

It’s Share A Song Sunday! Valentine’s Day is this week, single peeps, how we feeling? (Not great? Me either!)

Anywho, this one is called “REAL PEOPLE LOVE”! I don’t think I have to tell you what it’s about, I’m sure it’s obvious enough as is. I felt stupid acting like a glitching robot, but it was fun so I have no regrets lol. Enjoy!

(how did you get into writing fanfiction?)

Ah, that takes me back! You see, when I was a youngster, roughly around the mid-eighteen century, I started writing stories with a friend I communicated with via carrier pigeon and we - OK, I've decided not to commit to that joke anymore. I honestly don't really have a fun origin story - at some point many moons ago, while exploring this new fangled thing called the Information Superhighway, I, like many others, discovered folks writing fanfic about stories I loved. It seemed like fun, so I started doing it too. And that's really all there is to it!

Nanase Riku

A little prick.

Metal beneath his skin, pinching, sliding. Welling of red down clear plastic tubes. Rubber band tied tight to make blue stark against white.

A little prick.

Ceaseless beeping in his ears. Clear fluid cold inside his veins. Slipping under his skin. Crawling up his arm with each beat of his heart.

A little prick.

"Make a fist for me." He makes a fist. The nurse misses. "Sorry about that." She tries again.

A little prick.

It doesn't matter. Elbows and hands and wrists. Once in the ankle. Little white dots to mark the place, etched into his skin by hollow-pointed needles. Saline in and blood out. Over and over again.

A little prick.

White walls and white floors and Tenn-nii's hand in his. "You're doing so well sweetie, just a little while longer." The nurse's scrubs have ladybugs on them.

A little prick.

Fire through his lungs. Pain though his chest. He doesn't feel the little prick. There's a tube down his throat. Tears in his eyes.

A little prick.

Tenn-nii isn't there anymore.

A little prick.

The white scars remain. Elbows and hands and wrists.

They always will.

A little prick.

I have to very carefully balance between acquiring new things, which costs money and space, and updating the things that I already have, which costs energy. (and doing nothing at all, which has an emotional cost.)

so like moving the bed, and altering the headboard, the dresser, and the little side dresser, and maybe one of the walls. and recovering the dress form whenever mom brings it to me. adding a rug, more assorted dangle frills, something to hang my bags on, and maybe a low stool. is what I'm thinking right now. I might move my desk or my bookshelves in there to free up that corner for something else, or I might not.

and that can all be done slowly over time since we're likely to be here a while. possibly the longest I've ever lived anywhere except for my parents', if we stay until she comes home. cuz that's 5 years total in this apartment, and our previous record was 3 in that building I came to despise.

book ask game 1, 30, 34!

1. what is the best book you have ever read?

No I will not stop talking about A Chorus of Dragons by Jenn Lyons. Best book series I've ever set my eyes on in my life, cannot explain how much I adore it. If we're going for one specific book though, book 4, House of Always, is my favorite in the series I think

30. is there a book that changed your life?

It cannot be understated just how much Keeper of the Lost Cities has impacted the trajectory of my life. It's the reason I sought out fandoms, the reason I joined tumblr, the reason I learned to draw and write, and it's brought me into contact with dozens of people important to me I never would've met otherwise. It's what my middle school best friend and I bonded over once I introduced her to them. I am in the kotlc tag daily, it's had quite a profound impact. Also: the twilight saga, but it changed me for the worst <3

34. do you read more than one book at a time?

Frequently! Throughout the school year I'll usually have a physical book I'm reading and an audiobook I listen to during my commute. However, I also end up with multiple physical books in progress at any given time; I generally prefer to keep my attention on one though, but I don't go out of my way to prevent it from happening. I don't even really know how it happens it just does
