A rant of personal experiences and trying to do something positive with them:

Okay so procrastination is a huge thing in ADHD. Same with memory issues. (Not that these are always present and maybe some people experience both without being ADHD).

So. Here’s an experience I’m just now (at almost 40) realizing was a thing:

Imagine a huge essay/report/project requiring a lot of research and several sources was due in a few weeks. The advice was always to break it down, take notes, and make an outline. It made perfect sense. And maybe it does help some or even most people.

But for some, like me, it was still impossibly overwhelming and breaking it down was worse. The project was often boring (especially if I had to ignore a hyperfixation to work on it) and even if it wasn’t, it still felt like A LOT when my brain was full of TV static and my memory was shit.

It takes a ton of repetition for me to even temporarily remember something and even then, it will likely be gone again in a few days. UNLESS I learn by actually doing something or figuring it out for myself. And my brain gaslights itself like “do I remember that right? No that can’t be right. Let me look it up for the 100th time to make sure.” And I’m WAY more likely to remember concepts or physical processes but completely forget the terms for them or names of things or important dates EVEN FOR MY HYPERFIXATIONS, damnit... Like, I can do a bunch of crafty stuff and even remember some common terms and items but not the less common fabrics or stitch types or tool names. (Yet somehow I could remember the exact location of hundreds of thousands of items of inventory at my craft store job... even if I didn’t know what they were called. But I stocked them and had physical contact with them so I could picture where they were.) The number one overwhelming thing for me about trying to be a pro at anything is trying to remember terms so it sounds like I know what I’m talking about.

Anyway...

Without acknowledging that, I ended up wasting time by trying to schedule research/work in small chunks because every time I stopped then tried to start again, I wouldn’t remember what I did or looked at last time. (Can I also add that this is why being interrupted is infuriating for me? It probably seems irrational to other people but it’s so hard to get focused on something and now my train of thought is derailed, passengers are dead and injured, and it’s going to take who knows how long to revive the survivors?) And maybe that wasn’t so bad the first time because I’d only have to reread one page of notes. But then it would happen a few more times and my focus would be blurred and I’d repeated myself multiple times in the notes and they’d become a mess and look horrible which was distracting and I’d feel overwhelmed by having to reread and now rewrite several pages and focus would be even worse because I did remember some bits and blanked out while looking at those then stay blanked out then I’d have to reread again to catch the parts I didn’t remember.

But.

If I waited until the last minute, when the consequence/reward system overrode how overwhelming or boring the project was, I could burn through it because I was in constant contact with the material and it was all currently on my mind and I could skip writing notes and an outline and go straight to a fairly decent flow-state draft then keep going through revisions and editing all without forgetting WTF I’d researched. And it would be done in so so so much less time with a lot less effort and frustration.

And...

AND

And then there’s the schedule thing and why it DOES NOT WORK for me. If I schedule doing something (or even if someone suddenly wants me to do something right now) and my brain is like, “nah sorry, just static right now,” there’s absolutely nothing I can do to make it work and I’m just going to get frustrated and tired and depressed and discouraged. But if I keep a loose list of things that need to get done and indicate which are priorities, I can look at it and say “yeah. This one seems doable right now.” No I’m not going to get up and vacuum that spot of cat litter at this exact moment but it’s a good idea to do it soon so I’ll add vacuum to the list and probably get it done later the same day. If the cat throws up, that is an immediate priority so I will get up and make sure they’re okay and clean it because my brain does actually recognize things like that as super important. If a bill arrives in the mail, I’ll stop and pay it right away because I know I don’t have to think/worry about it again if I do. But what sucks about that is that society wants and often understandably needs people to work on a schedule. And I just... can’t.

But I’m trying to take this knowledge and apply it, trying to accept that this is how I function. I function based on a system of priorities that get done in order of “absolutely must be done right this second, whether for my own reasons or outside reasons, even if I need to drop other things” to “this is what I CAN do right now.” Not something pre-scheduled. If I need to leave something to the last minute then I’m just going to accept that that’s how it’s going to be and that’s okay. Then I can free up energy and space to do other things in the meantime rather than worry and be anxious and beat myself up because I should be doing the thing and end up hating things I like doing because they’re not what I should be doing and now there’s a negative association with them. No. Screw that. If all I can do today is play a video game then fine. Gonna enjoy it. Because I now know for a fact, from years of experience, that I will do the important things. They just need to wait until I’m capable of doing them. And... if I let myself stop worrying about old WIPs... They get done eventually too. It might take a few years but as long as I don’t actually decide not to do them, they will get done.

All that said... I still want to look into meds because it would be nice to have more of an ability to focus more regularly. I just need to clear up some other medical stuff first and I’ve got appointments already set up for that.

One more thing... I f$&#ing hate the attitude teachers have about doodling in class. It was literally the only way I could focus during lectures and remember anything they were talking about. I could look at what I drew and remember what was being said while I drew it. F$&% every teacher who took away my notebooks or yelled at me for it. Without it, I’d zone out completely. And THANK YOU to the art history teacher and biology teachers I had who not only understood but encouraged it and actually helped me direct it toward the subject matter by suggesting drawing thumbnails of the art or cell structure or anatomy.

Note

You've probably seen me and my asks/reposts/reblogs a few times and if not I mean- Anyways! I'm craving some BAMF! John content bc who wouldn't want that in their life? Also- I really love all that you do for the fandom and your followers. (I was an old Nonny who spoke about being asexual. I was wrong and I mean it happens-) But yeah you are super duper amazing and I hope one day I can do the same for others

Hey Lovely! <3

Aww, it’s okay to change your labels when figure out who you are (I certainly have)! I have a lot of asks from ace nonnies, so I’m not sure which one is yours, hahah. That said, don’t feel bad for identifying as one thing until recently... it’s normal. <3

Ah, yes, we all love a badass mother-fuckin’ John!! I’ve only done one list related to it, so I’ll link to it below :) As always, I encourage everyone to add their own fics to the list below!

What would you have me do? Take up jogging? Yoga? Oh! Unless you mean –” “I don't mean anything. Let’s drop it.”

Every Night I Look for You by destinationtoast (E, 8,377 w., 1 Ch. || POV John, Post-TRF, Angst, Mystery, Unsafe Sex, BAMF John) – Every night, John looks for familiar hints of Sherlock in the men he meets in bars, and he does with them all the things he wishes he’d done before.

His eyes narrow as he gazes up at John, noting the residual tension in his shoulders, the dark circles under his lower lids, and the way he is avoiding Sherlock’s eyes like a bi-polarized magnet. He knows John Watson inside and out, like the perfectly balanced coils and gears of a beautifully balanced grandfather clock, and yet John keeps surprising him. It’s uncanny, the way he keeps on being so utterly and wonderfully unpredictable.

He protects me with all he can without question, and this loyalty is surely more than I deserve. Or: Sherlock is counting his blessings.

On The Fence by BeautifulFiction (T, 13,770 w., 1 Ch. || Fencing, Case Fic, First Kiss, Insecure John, Pining John, Hug, Greg Finds Out) – The murder of the King's College fencing champion leads to revelations about Sherlock's past. Will it be the point that tips them from friends to lovers, or will they remain on the fence?

The Acronym by DancingGrimm (T, 15,057 w. || Humour) – "'Bee Ay Em Eff'. Hm, that's a new one on me. Do you know what it means, Sherlock?" John might not know what it means, but there are many little ways in which he proves the acronym suits him.

I Will Take Care Of You by SailorChibi (T, 16,664 w., 15 Ch. || Hurt/Comfort, Sick Sherlock, BAMF John, BAMF Lestrade, Reunion Fic) – Two years after Sherlock's death, John comes to find him on the sofa.

Hope for Heroes by Richefic (K+, 16,887 w., 5 Ch. || Post-TGG Fic, Introspection / Flashbacks, Friendship/Epic Bromance, Hurt/Comfort, Worried/Anxious Sherlock, Sherlock Admires John, BAMF John, John Deduces, Fancy Party, John’s Self Esteem, Domestics) – In the final moments of "The Great Game" Holmes hopes he will have the chance to tell his flatmate that he was wrong. Heroes do exist after all and the one in front of him is called Dr John Watson.

Traitor's Gate by roane (E, 17,714 w., 6 Ch. || Post-TRF, Case Fic, Mystery, Bets and Wagers, Undercover for a Case, BAMF John, Scientist Sherlock, Teasing, Established Relationship, Military Base, Sexting/Texting, Military/Uniform Kink, Frottage, Dirty Sex, Anal, Bottomlock) – John and Sherlock go undercover at a top secret government lab to find out who is selling research. John is back in uniform and Sherlock is back in a laboratory, but they have to pose as strangers. Sherlock thinks he'll have an easy time of it, but John has his doubts. It's up to them to find out who is responsible for putting a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands, and try to keep their hands off each other at the same time.

5 Times John Got the Girl (and lost her) and 1 Time John Got the Guy (and kept him) by LiviKate (M, 21,695 w., 6 Ch. || 5 and Ones, Kissing, Oblivious / Awkward Sherlock, BAMF / Sexy / Stud John, Embarrassed John, John’s Scar, Hurt/Comfort, Jealous Sherlock) – John has always had good luck with the ladies. He's charming, friendly and funny, not to mention great in bed. However, his usual skill with the opposite sex is constantly being thwarted by Sherlock and his outbursts. How will John ever get a leg over when Sherlock is always cockblocking him?

Knotted by naughtyspirit (E, 23,166 w., 4 Ch. || UST/URT, Cuddling, Sharing Body Heat, Confessions, Kissing, Mastrubation, Frustration, BAMF!John) – John has to cancel a date because of Sherlock's case, which leads them to be tied up in a basement from which they have to escape. They get wet, get tied up close and John has to step up and save them. Because he's pretty. And hot. And just a little bit of a BAMF.

Maintaining A Personal Life by Gingerhermit (E, 24,284 w., 6 Ch. || Alternating POV’s, Bisexuality, BAMF!John, Jealous Sherlock, Romance / Drama, Sort-of Case Fic, Peril & Angst, Love Confessions, Toplock, Soft Idiots in Love, Post S3) – Sherlock and John discover some interesting revelations about each other’s sexuality, which lead them both to question the assumptions they've made about one another for years. In the midst of their mutual discoveries, a dangerous psychopath looms on the side-lines who threatens to destroy their new beginning.

Invisible by chappysmom (K+, 25,947 w., 11 Ch. || No Slash, semi-canon compliant) – John had had the knack for as long as he could remember. It wasn’t that he could become invisible, exactly. The laws of physics worked quite well in his vicinity, thank you very much. It was just that people tended … not to see him. {{This was one of the first AU’s I read, and I still love it to this day}}. SEQUELS: Still Invisible (ASiB) || Too Visible (THoB) || Invisible Once More (TRF)

And A Doctor by StillWaters1 (T, 27,393 w., 6 Ch. || Friendship, Doctor John, Whump, Soldier / Doctor Dichotomy, Five and One) – It was only when people actually saw John working as a physician that they began to understand: that it wasn't just about bullets and IEDs and trauma care under fire. That "doctor" actually covered a pretty wide field. And that John was bloody good at covering ground. 5 times Dr. Watson treated others and 1 time he treated himself.

26 Pieces by Lanning (E, 28,236 w., 1 Ch. || H/C, Torture, First Time, Happy Ending, Schmoop, Past Abuse) – Mycroft gives Sherlock the apparently simple task of solving a puzzle box containing a stolen microchip. It isn't simple.

The only thing is, Berserkers have been extinct for centuries. And of course, nothing involving Mycroft and his interfering ways is ever simple. This time, even Sherlock may have bitten off more than he can chew.

To Mend Icarus by AlessNox (T, 29,186 w., 14 Ch. || Post-TRF, Friendship, Drama, BAMF!John, Emotional Turmoil, Introspection, Harry is in this Fic, Angry John, Happy Ending, Queerplatonic Relationship) – After a case lands John Watson in court, he tells Sherlock that he is leaving. Not understanding why, Sherlock decides that the only way to learn the truth is to investigate his flatmate, Dr. John Watson. A revision of the story Mending Icarus.

Rel., Beach Holidays, Confused Sherlock, Friends to Lovers, Honeymoon, Epistolary, Bottomlock, First Kiss / Time, Fluff, Secret Agents, BAMF!John) – John and Mary go on their sex holiday, and Sherlock is grumpy and pining about it.

At long last. It’s VE Day and Prince William desires to join the celebrations. It is a night of excitement, danger and the first flutters of romance.

A Week is Just Seven Days Isn't It? by scifigrl47 (T, 39,906 w., 4 Ch. || Humour, Friendship/Bromance, Stroppy/Bored Sherlock, Undercover/Army John, Texting, Pining-ish Sherlock, John Whump) – When John heads overseas for a week, Sherlock's forced to fend for himself. It goes about as well as anyone could have anticipated. Which is to say, very, very poorly. Don't worry, things'll be fine in just seven days.

Right Hand Man by SilentAuror (E, 42,031 w., 4 Ch. || H/C, Injury, Slow Burn) – When John's left arm becomes paralysed after a car accident, Mary asks Sherlock to take him back to Baker Street to recuperate, as she's about to give birth.

Of course, Sherlock Holmes has different ideas about his destiny. Fantasy AU. Warnings for violence, occasional gore, and a whole load of hurt and angst.

Left by lifeonmars (M, 45,153 w., 9 Ch. || Magical Realism, BAMF!John, Slow Burn) – John Watson is left-handed. He’s tried not to let it affect his life, but as any Lefty knows, that’s almost impossible.

Thanks to his ground-breaking developments, the IMMC (International Mars Mission Corporation) is one step closer to Martian colonization. Will and his team of scientists are headed out on the first of three manned missions before the first group of settlers arrive. Three days before launch, one of the crew has to be replaced.

John had seemed, if not happy, then reasonably content with his life. Sherlock had never predicted something like THIS might have happened. Not in his worst nightmares. He was the lousiest friend ever, apparently. At least Mycroft found him something to occupy his mind with, so that he didn't have to go back to 221B and stare at the walls and the chair, where John Watson would never sit again.

He overslept, he’s underpaid, and now there’s someone tagging the Council’s building walls. However things may be about to get interesting: there’s an unusual stranger hanging around (the definition of tall, dark, and handsome), a literal underground cult is brewing, and rumblings are coming from hell. Can he keep his neighbourhood safe, how and why is he being connected to all this, and who the hell is Sherlock Holmes?

Watches 'Verse by bendingsignpost (E, 66,905 w. across 2 works || Magical Realism, Reality Distortion, Angst, Partial MCD, BAMF John) – First, he is shot in Afghanistan. Second, he wakes to a phone call in Chelmsford, Essex. Third is pain, fourth is normalcy, fifth is agony and sixth is confusion. By the eighth, he's lost track. (John-centric AU) Part 1 of Watches 'Verse

It’s in this bleak office that Sherlock discovers a portal into the mind of renowned author John Watson. Grander than his mind palace, this new wonderland affords Sherlock new vistas of experimentation. To learn more about the mystery behind the portal, Sherlock seeks out and befriends Watson.

Physical appearance Faceclaim: austin abrams Gender: cis male Height: 5″8 #shortking Build: scrawny boy body. looks like he couldn’t lift more than 30 pounds... PSYCH!!! he’s a vampire so he can actually lift several hundred pounds 🤪🤪🤪 Eye color: blue with little dark green specks Glasses or contacts?: not with that snazzy 4k vampire sight !! Distinguishing marks/scars: funny little frecklescape on his back that looks like this emoji 😦 Hair color: dirty blonde Type of hair: type 1, aka straight hair Hairstyle: gets up out of bed, looks in mirror. maybe tussles it a little bit. thats it Physical disabilities: none Mental disabilities: adhd Clothing style: sweaters sweaters sweaters. striped sweaters ( because the best time to wear one is all the time ), disney sweaters, sweaters with dogs on them. white collared shirts to go underneath most of them. denim jackets, a couple of them tattering with holes in the elbows. black skinny jeans -- like he owns four pairs of the same black skinny jeans. someone tell him that skinny jeans aren’t in style anymore. uses the same jansport backpack he’s had since the eighth grade with a sewn in epcot center patch on the front pocket. dirty checkered vans. falling apart high-top converse. it’s not that he’s poor and can’t afford new things, he just prefers all his old stuff. Make up: has never worn any but wouldn’t be opposed to trying some !!

Personality Good personality traits: good at secret keeping, friendly and uplifting, loyal, thoughtful, great memory, cautious, playful. chaotic good energy 🥰 Bad personality traits: gullible, slightly obnoxious, constantly confused, easily distracted Mood character is most often in: cheery, happy as f, practically bouncing off the walls Sense of humor: goddamn hilarious!!! at least he thinks so lol Articulation: loud and occasionally stuttery. repeating himself pretty often. the type to get lost in the middle of conversation and have to take a second to mentally loop back and remember what exactly they were talking about. uses the word ‘ like ‘ way too much. talks with his hands a whole lot. constantly talking like he’s a kooky disney character on a mission. Character’s greatest joy in life: riding a mf’in roller coaster Character’s greatest fear: disneyworld getting blown up / physically hurting someone Character is most at ease when: he’s curled up with his friends watching a disney movie Most ill at ease when: he’s laying in bed at night, pretending he’s sleeping since he can’t Enraged when: thinking about how there are vampires in bridgemead -- that they could turn other people, kill other people, or worse... harm his friends.

Priorities: at the moment? trying not to hurt anybody. Life philosophy: “Keep Moving Forward!” -- walt disney said that Greatest strength: his optimism / ability to take something sad or bad and turn it around! Greatest vulnerability or weakness: giving just about anyone the benefit of the doubt.

Goals Drives and motivations: getting enough money to be able to travel the world and visit every disney park on the planet. Immediate goals: graduating high school / helping the scooby gang solve mysteries Long term goals: roller coaster designer / engineer. create a haunted house / rollercoaster hybrid ride

Childhood Hometown: orlando, florida Type of childhood: the kind where he’s an only child, where his middle class parents live to please and spoil him, take him to whatever amusement park he wanted to go to and buy him all the best merch. the smile on his face was worth more than anything they ever could’ve purchased for themselves. kody probably would’ve had siblings, but his parents had complications getting pregnant again, and thus they lived to make sure he had the best life possible. Pets: a cat named toulouse ( shoutout aristocats ), but he passed when kody was fifteen Most important childhood memory: waiting in line for five hours to ride harry potter and the forbidden journey at universal studios orlando. blew his little kid mind.

Family Parent one: marcus pierce -- drug store manager Relationship with them: kody and his dad are best buds! if it weren’t for his fathers love for rollercoasters, kody doesn’t know what his life would be like today. they used to play rollercoaster tycoon growing up and kody still cherishes those memories today. Parent two: tina pierce -- bridgemead city manager Relationship with them: kody and his mother have a very loving relationship. however, kody’s adoration for his mother dwindled when it was her job that forced them to move to bridgemead. he thinks of it as her fault that he doesn’t get to go to disneyworld anymore, and there’s a bitter part of him that thinks that if she hadn’t made them leave, he never would’ve become a vampire. he knows its wrong to attribute her to his curse, but sometimes when he’s really sad he cant help it. Siblings: none Other important family members: his widowed aunt shirley who lives twenty minutes from disneyworld and occasionally would join them on their weekend visits to the parks. he misses her greatly 😩😩

Favorites Color: that bright electric blue color on the cinderella castle at disneyworld Music: electronic Food: a disneyworld churro. Film: the incredibles / scooby doo 2002 Drink: pink lemonadde mixed with sprite Form of entertainment: disney+ subscription. if that’s all he had, he’d be content. Most prized possession: a magic kingdom two day passport ticket from the 1980′s

Habits Hobbies: playing rollercoaster tycoon / designing rollercoasters on his computer. obsessively watching ghost club paranormal on youtube. bothering aj with the latest thing on his mind that she definitely doesn’t need to know about Plays a musical instrument?: nope. wishes he could though! Plays a sport?: nope, but would be great at track now that he’s a vampire! How he would spend a rainy day: playing kingdom hearts II in his pajamas. Spending habits: great at hoarding all of his allowance! since he’s not spending it on food, he’s an excellent saver. pre-vampirism kody was not as cautious with his spending. Smoking/drinking/drugs?: no way 🙅🏼 has yet to even try alcohol Extremely skilled at: cheering up his friends! finding the good in others and convincing them to see it too 🤗 Extremely unskilled at: stopping himself from crying when he’s sad / when he’s in the middle of crying. putting together pieces of their investigations. sure, he can find things -- but what the hell is he supposed to do with them once he’s got it?!?! Nervous tics: anxious picking at his cuticles. messing with his hair. aggressive foot tapping. scrolling through his phone without actually looking at anything. Usual body posture: that boy has been working on rollercoaster code on his computer for YEARS. his body posture is absolutely RUINED! Mannerisms: constantly talking with his hands. bouncin’ around like tigger when something exciting happens. abbreviating things that don’t need to be abbreviated. the loudest in the room at all times.

Traits Optimist or pessimist? Introvert or extrovert? Daredevil or cautious? Logical or emotional? Leader or follower? Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat? Prefers working or relaxing? Confident or unsure of himself/herself? Animal lover? HELL YEAH.

Self-perception How do they feels about themselves?: before the year 2020, kody actually quite liked himself! he realized that he was goofy and sometimes not everyones cup of tea, but for the most part, he knew he was a good guy who was a little obnoxious! now, he has mixed feelings about himself. vampirism has elevated a lot of his emotions and more often than not now, he dislikes himself for what he’s become, or what he could become if things turn bloody. One word the character would use to describe themselves: spunky What does the character consider their best trait?: his compassion What does the character consider their worst trait?: his gullibility What does the character consider their best physical characteristic?: his fluffy hair !! What does the character consider their worst physical characteristic?: that he’s a short king. stream short kings anthem by tiny meat gang How does the character think others perceive them?: he’s pretty sure most people think that he’s wildly annoying, but that doesn’t stop him from being fully himself most of the time! What would the character most like to change about himself/herself: his vampirism!! get this shit out of him just make him a normal aging boy again!!

Relationships with others Opinion of other people in general: kody is a big ole’ ball of love, and thus so, he tries to share that with everyone. strangers are treated with compassion, acquaintances are treated as old friends, and friends are treated like family. unless kody already knows someone to be a bad person, or is wary of them, he’s genuinely one of the nicest people one could ever meet. Opinion of the Scooby Gang: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it. Does the character hide their true opinions and emotions from others?: it depends on the topic, but for the most part, yes. when it comes to most scooby gang related endeavors, kody will share his thoughts -- if it’s something related to movies or tv, he’ll be talking your ear off for hours. if it’s something that could result in it hurting someone else, he’ll be quiet, and if his vampirism was ever to come into question, he’d be absolutely be suppressing it. Most important person in character’s life: oh god, not to pick scooby gang favorites, but probably aj. she’s the closest thing he has to a sister, and he doesn’t know what he would do without their banter, and her support. Best friend/s: aj darke, dylan frye, & arabella byrne Dating experience: absolutely none. kissed 2 girls in the span of 2 years over 3 years ago. Romancing: kody wouldn’t know the first thing about trying to get someone to date him. all he knows is the stuff he’s seen on tv, watched in movies, or experienced around him ( such as his parents successful marriage, or his friends dating people ), but if it were to come down to him, he’d be extremely awkward. picture tom holland’s spiderman trying to talk to zendaya’s mj in far from home -- because that’s extremely accurate. kody isn’t trying to date anyone right now for a couple of reasons: one being that he’s too nervous, and not exactly looking for love, but if it were to happen... he wouldn’t run from it necessarily. but two being that his vampirism creates a bit of a problem for him, and he’s not sure if he should subject anyone to the curse he’s stuck with.

Extra Physicality: if necessary, could probably lift a car and throw it down the street. as of right now, doesn’t know how strong he really is / is more concerned about hurting his friends with this supposed strength than he is finding out how many hundreds of pounds he could lift. kody in a fight? probably losing within the first five seconds, unless bloods drawn and the instinct to pounce takes over. Species: vampire How do they feel about it?: hates it. would do anything to reverse it. wishes he had just stayed a little longer at karma cafe that night. or had never gone at all. How do they look in their supernatural form?: pretty much the same, however when he’s hungry and near blood, his eyes go all dark and bloodshot, and the veins around his eyes start to pulse ( basically just like vampire diaries ), but kody is unaware of this since he’s never seen it happen to himself or another vampire

Slightly belated Gou episode 22 thoughts:

- Look how they massacred my girl. Really, most of the issues are from last episode and this episode is just compounding interest on them, but still. Also, Ryukishi07 is used to a medium which has an internal monologue as a matter of course and it shows - you could bridge a decent amount of Gou’s issues that way. Not all of them, though, and there’s tricks to compensate for a medium with no internal monologue that just aren’t being used. (Satoko musing to herself that there was a point where seeing her brother lying there would have moved her but not anymore would have gone a long way to fixing this episode’s issues, for instance, and that would only have needed two lines of thinking out loud.)

- But seriously, they done Satoko dirty. (Opinion hasn’t changed: I can see a Satoko heel turn arc working and the core of the likely motivation for such fragments is correct, but holy shit did they botch the execution.)

- Unfortunately, I have a hard time squaring this episode with the mirror theory (and I already had issues squaring the first cour arcs with it). Which is a shame, because that theory would remove most of my objections to this arc in one fell swoop: unlike Satoko, Rika *does* have precedent for escalating to murder to get out of a loop she doesn’t like (Saikoroshi-hen) as well as at least considering suicide (Meakashi-hen under imminent threat of death, and then she considers it before rejecting the idea in manga/VN Minagoroshi-hen for reasons that would no longer apply here); it’s an infinitely better fit for the Onigari-no-Ryuuou TiPS (more evident in the version that’s floated out of 4chan, which I suspect is the official translation: “When the Furude family try to push their sins onto others again... that’s when the Onigari-no-Ryuuou will reappear to us”); it’s how Lambda/Bern works in Umineko as opposed to the opposite of how it works; it would explain why we never got a whiff of Rika’s apparent desire to leave Hinamizawa in OG; and on a minor note “Rika doesn’t want to learn and has iffy memory” *would* help explain things about the OG loops (I’d have expected her to devour any and all local libraries out of boredom at some point, and while tunnel vision alone might be enough to explain Rika never considering the possibility that the obvious OG culprit is in fact the culprit a bad memory wouldn’t help). The biggest issue there (outside of squaring it with first cour and this episode) is that you would need to explain why Satoko fit in at St. Lucia’s and Rika does not (Satoko makes sense as ADHD and/or on the autism spectrum, Rika... maybe but I have strong doubts, especially with how she weaponizes her cuteness).

(- If we are in Mirror Theory world I suspect it would be revealed in a couple of sentences at the end of episode 24; at this point I’m not sure that would be enough to salvage the season.)

- Once again I am inclined to compare Gou to Endless Eight... unfortunately, this time it’s because Gou may well torch another previously well-regarded franchise just as effectively. (Possibly *worse* - Haruhi at least had Disappearance out immediately to cushion some of the blow in Japan itself, whereas scuttlebutt is that the Japanese fans are every bit as unhappy as us Western fans this time around.) The weird thing is that it’s a strangely familiar torching to me - Ryukishi07 has always had similar creative tastes to myself (overcomplicated and confusing setups to be solved with strong mind screw elements?), so I suppose it makes sense that he would eventually have his own Mind Screw Mafia V, but it’s still weird watching someone else with a far bigger name make much the same mistakes I did in real time.

(- Irregular Entropy is going with Lilium and Kuusou Mesorogiwi in the annals of really fucking good anime themes that happen to be saddled with edgy anime of dubious quality, isn’t it? Admittedly Kuusou isn’t in quite the same category as the other two, Mirai Nikki was always one of those series which was trash, knew it was trash, and rather than trying to be anything other than what it was always going to be instead got smart and sank all its skill points into being the most entertaining trash possible - but then I kind of suspect Mirai Nikki’s mangaka Esuno-sensei was the one person on the planet who wasn’t in on the joke so it kind of still fits.)

- I’ve seen a couple of (Lambda)Satoko - Akuhomu comps floating around already for somewhat obvious reasons. The thing is, I kind of think if you introduced Akuhomu to Lambdatoko the former’s response once they got around to comparing notes would eventually be straight out of that one Joker-Red Skull comic (”I may be a criminal lunatic but I’m an AMERICAN criminal lunatic” - or in this case “I may have dragged down Madokami and made her live as a schoolgirl again but at least I was doing it because that was what (I think she) would have wanted - I wasn’t trying to *torture* the girl I love”).

- Gou airing on March 4 in the US (aka 3/4) is a hilarious piece of metatext, and the funniest part is I don’t think it’s even intentional (it technically aired on 3/5 in Japan due to timeslot, IIRC Japan uses a different date order, and Gou was originally scheduled to start in Summer 2020 to begin with before it got delayed).

Could u write albert/race (platonic or romantic) w adhd!race (btw i l o v e ur fics)

thank u love, just for you here’s a fic of me projecting on race, ft. an asshole date and albert being a sweetheart

trigger warning: ableist language

~~~~~~~

“Come to the park with me on my date, he said,” Albert muttered to himself, swatting a branch out of his face. “It’ll be fun, he said.”

In any given situation, Albert would rather stab out his left eyeball with a spork than be a third-wheel on a date. It made him anxious and turned him from calm and collected to a shy, awkward mess in a matter of seconds.

Apparently, all those things went out the window when Race was involved. Albert guessed it was fair, anyway. Race had met a cute boy named Kevin at a party, been asked out on a date, and proceeded to beg Albert to come with him. He’d barely talked to the boy and he was “too young and pretty to be murdered on a first date.” (Race’s words, not Albert’s.)

Besides, it wasn’t really third-wheeling. Not when Albert was crouched in a tree, watching Kevin slip his hand into Race’s. It was technically called stalking.

“You having fun?” Kevin said to Race. They were sitting on a bench directly under Albert’s tree, and frankly, he considered it a miracle Kevin hadn’t looked up yet.

“Yeah,” Race said, grinning at their linked hands. His cheeks and ears were tinged pink. “I love this park. When I was seven, my mom, my biological one, took me and my best friend Albert here. I don’t live with her anymore, I doubt she remembers it, but I broke my arm. I don’t even remember how. I mean, that wasn’t the last time I was here, that’s the only time I’ve ever broken something. My brother says it’s a miracle I haven’t cracked my head open from all the idiot stuff I do. He shouldn’t be talking, right? He’s usually the reason I do stupid stuff. Me and him went to this park a few weeks ago. Oh, his name’s Jack, I’ve got two brothers and a sister, all adopted, our poor mom. Have you met him? He was at that party we met at, but he was probably passed out on the couch.”

Race took a breath and looked at Kevin expectantly. Albert had followed the entire conversation, more than used to Race when he started rambling, but Kevin didn’t have the same expertise. He looked like a deer in headlights, scrambling to find an endpoint to Race’s story.

“Um… you’re a foster kid?” he finally settled on saying. “Or, um, you’re adopted?”

Albert didn’t approve.

“Yeah,” Race said. “Adopted when I was eleven. Did I mention that? Shit, sorry, didn’t mean to unload on you.”

“Um, it’s okay, you didn’t,” Kevin said. “So… what happened with your brother?” Race raised an eyebrow, and Kevin elaborated. “A few weeks ago? When you were here with him?”“Oh!” Race said, and he launched back into his story like he’d never taken a pause. “So, we dragged a trampoline to the base of a tree, and he dared me to jump off a branch and land on the trampoline. We didn’t have a helmet so we just used a pillow. Honestly, that was one of the times where I thought I’d break somethin’ else, but it was just that one time when I was seven. I had a huge scratch on my leg for a couple weeks and I’ve got a scar, but it’s not that bad.”Kevin laughed awkwardly and tucked his hands under his thighs. It was then Albert noticed that Race had pulled their hands apart and was gesturing grandly with one. The other was resting on Kevin’s knee. Race was a tactile guy, and Albert was surprised the hand hadn’t made its way to Kevin’s face.

“You talk a lot,” Kevin said.

Race smiled. “Ain’t the first time someone’s told me that, trust me,” he said. “You should talk to my teachers. They’d probably go on tangents longer than mine about me. My math teacher doesn’t like me ‘cause I always get the answer right, but not the way I’m supposed to get it, which is fuckin’ unfa-”

“Let’s get ice cream,” Kevin cut in, standing up suddenly and grabbing Race’s sleeve to tug him up with him.

Race smiled sheepishly as his hand moved to grab Kevin’s again. Kevin stuffed his hands in his pockets pointedly. “Okay, cool. Sorry. Just let me know if I start rambling like that and I’m bein’ annoying. I’m kind of an idiot.”

“It’s fine,” Kevin said with a grin so fake it hurt to look at. The kid was getting a solid two out of ten on Albert’s scale of “People That Deserve To Hang Out With My Friends.”

“Hey, I don’t have my wallet with me,” Race said, patting his pockets. “But I can pay you back for the ice cream. It’d be the gentleman thing to do, right?” He winked, sidling up to Kevin’s side to lean on him, and Albert forced a laugh back down his throat.

Kevin didn’t think it was funny. When Race’s elbow raised to rest on his shoulder, he moved away. “You didn’t bring your wallet?” he said, frowning. “But I didn’t bring mine. We agreed to get ice cream a couple days ago, when I asked you out, and you said you’d pay. Remember?”

Race’s face fell when Kevin stepped back. “Oh… oh,” he said, realization dawning over his face. “Fuckin’ shit. I’m sorry, Kevin,” he said, running a hand through his hair. Albert wanted to jump down and give him a hug, but that might have had something to do with the fact that his back was permanently cramped from hunching over in the tree for so long.

Instead of forcing a smile and saying “It’s fine,” which Albert had been expecting, the frown didn’t waver on Kevin’s face. “What’s your problem, man?” he said. “Like, I don’t wanna be rude, but you’ve spent this entire time talking about yourself and you forgot about something we agreed on two days ago.”

“I… dude, I didn’t mean to,” Race tried. “Sorry if I’m being obnoxious. I have ADHD and I’ve been out of meds since last week. I forgot to tell my mom, but she’s picking them up today.”

If anything, Kevin’s scowl deepened, which just made the situation worse. Albert could read Race’s stiff shoulders and fleeting eyes like a book. “That’s not an excuse, dude. I get that you’ve got memory problems or whatever, but we’ve all got our issues. Can’t you just… I don’t know, try harder?”

“I -”

“Forget it,” Kevin muttered. “I’m not really in the mood for ice cream, I think I’m just gonna go home. I’ll text you or something.” He clapped a hand on Race’s shoulder. “See you later, Tony.”

From the look on his face as he walked off, hands still stuffed deep in his pockets, Albert had a feeling he wouldn’t be texting.

He waited until Kevin had completely disappeared around the corner. He’d pulled out his phone as soon as he left Race alone, thumps tapping wildly on the screen. Albert could only pray there wouldn’t be rumors about “the weird, freckled kid that never shuts up” at school on Monday.

He jumped down from his tree, a lot less gracefully than he would’ve prefered. Race jumped a foot in the air and whipped around as Albert sweared loudly, clutching his foot.

“Shit, I forgot you were up there,” Race said. His shoulders slumped, and he looked more like a kicked puppy than a dejected teenage boy. “Sorry you had to listen to all that. Like, me rambling and then gettin’ ditched by Kevin and whatever.”

“Shut up,” Albert said. Hearing himself out loud, he quickly backtracked, “I-I mean, you can talk as much as you want. I just don’t want you to… you’ve said sorry too much today, Racer. It’s not your fault.”He stared intently at the hole in the toe of his Converse as he was talking, and when he looked up, Race’s eyes were red. He wasn’t quite crying, but his voice cracked when he spoke.

“Yes it is.” It sounded like he’d tried to sound angry with himself, to snap out his words like a rubber band against raw skin, but he just sounded sad. “Don’t play dumb, Albie. Kevin’s right. I talked about myself too much, and I forgot about somethin’ so fuckin’ simple, and I chased him away. Did you see his face?” he demanded. “He looked at me like I was a fuckin’ alien from Area 51, and then he left.”

As much as Albert wanted to say “Good riddance to him, then,” he didn’t think it would be appreciated. He stepped forward, Race sunk his head into his shoulder.

“I’m such an idiot,” he said, words muffled in Albert’s shirt. “And I kind of wanted that ice cream, babe, not gonna lie.”

Albert gripped the back of Race’s neck wordlessly, knowing the pressure was grounding and comforting from how often Race did it to him. “Lucky for you,” he mumbled in Race’s ear, “I always come prepared. C’mon, dude, my brother gave me twenty bucks and I’m spending all of it before I step foot in my house.”

Race smiled against his shoulder. “What would I do without you? Seriously, would I be dead? I think I’d be dead.”

“No, you just wouldn’t have stories to tell about breaking your arm with me to asshole dates.”

“He wasn’t an as-”

“Race. You told him you had ADHD, and he told you to try harder and get over it.”

“I should’ve told him before so he’d know how much work I can b-”“If I told someone I had autism and they told me to suck it up and stop whining, would you deck them or not?”

Race lifted his head, silently pursing his lips together. “Okay,” he admitted. “He was kind of an asshole.”

Albert nodded solemnly. “The asshole to end all assholes,” he said. He was just trying to make Race laugh and they both knew it, but in his defense, it was working. “C’mon,” he said, grabbing Race’s collar and ushering him towards the sidewalk. “Chocolate or vanilla?”“Both. Extra sprinkles.”

“Damn. You know I’m paying, right? Maybe you’re the asshole.”

Race laughed again, throwing his head back and an arm around Albert’s shoulders, and for the first time in an hour, all was right with Albert’s world.

Hogwarts Mystery Survey

I was tagged by @weasley-adoptee to do this! Thank you so much, friend. <3 This was super fun to do.

Answers under the cut, and my shy ass is going to tentatively tag @freckled-petals, @rompemaldiciones, @willowtreewritingss, and @carmilla-the-bird. Feel free to ignore. c:

Favourite Gryffindor:

Bill is Lee’s big brother and I love his characterization in this game to bits. He’s truly the sibling MC deserves, and if given the choice, I would dropkick Jacob into the sun and replace him with Bill. I’m sure Jacob will not understand.

Least Favourite Gryffindor:

Ben, my boy, I love you, but you’re driving me mad. I liked him best in Year 5, truth be told. I wasn’t a fan of him prior and Year 6 Ben is plain aggravating most of the time. I’m still holding out for him, though; those flashes of his former self we get keep me hopeful that he won’t always be an asshole.

Favourite Hufflepuff:

Who else but Penny Haywood? I know JC overuses her in everything these days, but I still adore her and so does my MC.

Least Favourite Hufflepuff:

Hm. Probably Diego. There’s nothing wrong with him - I just don’t find him that interesting compared to our other friends.

Favourite Ravenclaw:

Local bird boy Talbott Winger snuck up on me. I liked his character from his debut - grumpy, aloof characters with a dry sense of humor and a heart of gold are my weakness - but I wasn’t expecting to ship him with Lee. I actually loved the idea of Talbott x Badeea, and I still enjoy that ship, but yeah. Talbott x MC has since surpassed it for me. He’s great.

Least Favourite Ravenclaw:

Honestly, I don’t think I have a least favorite for this house. Ravenclaw's characters are solid.

Favourite Slytherin:

Merula, this one’s for you. Of course it’s for you. Your design is stupid cute and your moody ass has stolen my heart. And honestly, I’d ship you with Lee if I didn’t love your brother-sister relationship with him more.

Least Favourite Slytherin:

It’s gonna be Liz solely for the reason that we don’t know much about her. And it’s not her fault - she’s one of the characters JC created and promptly forgot about after her part in Year 5 (4?) was over.

Favourite Quidditch Character:

This one goes to Orion Amari aka MC’s other big brother. I thought his personality might grate on me when I first met him, but past me was a fool, I tell you, a complete clown. Orion is wonderful and deserves the world. <3

Least Favourite Quidditch Character:

This is hard because I genuinely adore all the Quidditch characters. Maybe the ones who don’t have names? I mean, I get why they’re not characterized. They’re placeholders. MC’s going to replace them eventually. However... I’m a writer. I'm going to give these guys my own headcanons and then grow attached to their characters regardless of what you do with them, so you might as well name them for me. Please. I hate naming things.

Favourite Teacher:

Professor Flitwick is great, but when Professor McGonagall smiles at my MC when he gets her question right, my heart grows three sizes. Minnie is the best. <3

Least Favourite Teacher:

While I like Snape’s character more in Hogwarts Mystery than in the books, I’m still not a fan of him overall.

Favourite Non-Teacher Adult:

Hagrid, of course! A gentle giant with a pure heart. Too good for this world.

Least Favourite Non-Teacher Adult:

Rita Skeeter can get hit by the Knight Bus. Seriously. I don’t understand why MC hasn’t turned her away already - she’s terrible, and I personally hc she’s the one responsible for popularizing the rumor that Jacob went to work for Voldemort. That’s why my MC can’t stand her.

Rate Rowan on a scale of 1-10, 1 being “Why are we even friends?” and 10 being “BFFs for Life!”:

Rowan is my favorite HPHM character. I’ve loved this nerd since the beginning and I will never forgive JC for what they’ve done to them. Rowan deserved better. I will shout this into the void until the day I die, and they’ll always be Lee’s first love. </3

Rate Jacob on a scale of 1-10, 1 being “You’re dead to me” and 10 being “Love you forever, big bro!!”:

For me, Jacob is a 5. Do I think he’s a bad brother? Yes. Would I drop him like a hot potato for Bill and Orion if given the chance? Absolutely. But I think he can still be redeemed. Maybe. I’m not holding my breath for it, but it’s possible. Although, to be frank with you, the angst monger in me wants Jacob to be evil because I love putting my MC through hell. (:

Rate MC and your similarities on a scale of 1-10, 1 being “MC is nothing like me” to 10 being “MC is ttly a self-insert lol”:

Oh, I don’t know. Maybe a 6? Lee and I have similarities, but I made him with the intent of playing a character instead of myself. His competitive nature and ADHD tendencies are definitely me, but I’m not nearly as sociable as him haha. Lee’s got a loud, type-aish personality. I’m introverted AF and pretty mellow.

Favourite Side Quest:

The Celestial Ball was wonderful. I loved playing through it, and I was so happy that Rowan was a date option. (If only they were included in the other dating TLSQs, sigh.) An honorable mention goes to Adventures in Curse-breaking aka the latest TLSQ. Loved the friendship vibes among the group.

Least Favourite Side Quest:

I’ll be honest; I don’t remember the Knighthood TLSQ in the slightest. I also thought the Weird Sisters one was meh, but at least I have vague memories of that one. An honorable mention goes to the ending of the All-Wizard Tournament TLSQ. I’m sorry, but you can’t convince me that MC would be happy about winning after nearly losing another friend (or whatever you consider Merula) to the Forbidden Forest. My MC was livid at Dumbledore for the shit he pulled, and he’s not even post-Year 6 Part 18 yet. And yeah, I know it’s technically a Year 5 TLSQ, but keep in mind that this came out shortly after Part 18 dropped and was referenced multiple times in the side quest for those caught up with the Main Story. The wound was still fresh and it just felt wrong to me.

Your Ideal Ending for Patricia Rakepick:

Assuming she really killed Rowan?

I see no alternative.

The 2010s, year by year.

I was inspired by @puzzled-dragon on twitter but but would rather do this here. I did not realize this decade sucked so hard. I put this under a read more because it’s long and sad af. I did not INTENTIONALLY make this depressing but thinking to each year these ARE the things I think of first. There’s a happy ending though, I promise. If this is too long, just read the first and last year and you’ll probably get the picture. (tw: depression, self-harm, death, suicidal thoughts, car accidents, sexual assault):

2010: Went on my first plane ride to visit my brother in San Francisco! Went to my first show that summer (warped tour - Sum 41!), then My Chemical Romance in December. Started volunteering with the Teen Advisory Board at the library. This was the year I first started realizing I had some mental health issues. My grandmother, who I was very close to, passed away. I was dealing with depression and self harming and learned I have ADHD. Started questioning my sexuality.

2011: The year of the January mystery evacuation! My strongest memories of this year are the summer. went to Warped Tour again (Motion City Soundtrack and Paramore!), joined Tumblr in July. I took 2 months of summer school by choice that year during which I read the Handmaid’s Tale and had a bit of a feminist awakening. Gwen and I started our band and started doing shows together. Started questioning my gender.

2012: Started IDing as asexual. Got into urbex for a little while. Graduated high school. Went to Warped Tour for the last time. Saw Mindless Self Indulgence and had my first serious panic attack. Started a visual arts degree at York. Lived on campus and lost a lot of weight REAL fast and got VERY sick. Now that I was 18 and no longer living with my parents I finally started getting treatment for my ADHD. Realized I was agender.

2013: Started playing quidditch and getting involved with York’s Harry Potter club (Ministry of Magic) where I met @ominouspotato and @puzzled-dragon. Realized I was bisexual. Got my first job (tim hortons) then my first apartment (A complete disaster) My depression and anxiety got real bad towards the end of this year. I did go to a lot of shows though. (Fall Out Boy and Motion City Soundtrack come to mind) Started listening to WTNV not knowing that this would absolutely be a gateway podcast for me.

2014: Moved in with my aunt Bev (not really my aunt) in Scarborough for the first half of the year then my parents for the second half. Bought my first binder. Became a Ministry of Magic exec. Saw WTNV live. Met my (now) ex at a PATD show in Feb, we started dating in Nov. Took the via rail for the first time. Was sexually assaulted on my first date (I have never told anyone this until right now). Rode the go train a lot. Started trying to change my major to Digital Media.

2015: Moved back in with my aunt Bev and lived there for the whole year. (At the time I hated it but in retrospect she was real cool about a lot of stuff) Saw Motion City Soundtrack for the third and final time :’(. This is the year @ghirahims-left-shoe and I met Frank Iero and Gerard Way (who said my drawing were awesome!!!!!) Moved into the Forest Hill apartment (a mistake). Realized university was going nowhere for me. Saw WTNV live again.

2016: Dropped out of York and started at Seneca for Interactive Media Design. My (now) ex moved in with me and my roommates and shit hit the fan which resulted in us packing up and moving back to my home town (Cue the worst 3 years of my life) Got my G2 and started driving regularly, got in my first car accident. I worked 6 different jobs this year. My tax return was hell. I started getting really into podcasts this year.

2017: Started off real fucking depressed over the US election and somehow ended up turning to mbmbam to cope (a mutual on tumblr suggested it and I wish I remembered who so I could thank them for changing my life). Commuted to Toronto 5 days a week this whole year. Got engaged. Bought my first car in August (a beige impala). Had my first car written off in November when someone rear ended me on the 400. Bought my red elantra that I still have now. Joined the MBMBAM Gaming Server when I was at a very low point that fall and it was a god send - met some really really good friends though this. Joined roller derby. First realized I was in an abusive relationship.

2018: Got in another car accident. Quit my job in Toronto because I couldn’t handle the commute anymore after getting in 2 accidents in the same winter. Traveled to Detroit to see mbmbam live. Went through a YMCA employment program, which is how I got the most soulless job ever - but it was a short commute, looked great on my resume, and paid okay so I sucked it up. My depression and anxiety got worse and worse and I kept ignoring it, kept thinking if I just acted like things were fine they eventually would be (fake it til you make it is bullshit btw). Tried to leave my fiance a handful of times but never could. Tried and failed many many times to pass the roller derby minimum skills test. Started isolating myself more and more from my irl friends. My laptop kicked the bucket in August and I couldn’t afford to replace it.

2019 (Jan-Aug): In March I both got my dream job and went on my first big trip (New Orleans to visit my brother)! Got my first tattoo in July. My depression didn’t go away, though. I quit roller derby. A few doctor’s visits and many different ADHD medication trials later I found myself at my lowest point. I wasn’t sleeping but I also struggled to get out of bed. I felt like work was the only thing I could do so it was all I did and my anxiety only fueled this further. I thought that there was no one in the world who cared about me. I saw myself as a problem to the people around me. Something that needed to be removed. I was researching what pills I could overdose on and how many it would take and I started making real plans to kill myself in September.

Spoiler: I didn’t!

2019 (Sept-Dec): I saw a new doctor, took a break from work, and started on anti-depressants for the first time ever. Everything changed. I traveled to Buffalo to meet friends from the mbmbam gaming server and had online friends come to Barrie to visit me. I reconnected with my university friends after 2 years of self-isolation and we see each other regularly now. I went on my first solo trip to visit Gwen in BC and we are starting a podcast together (!!!). I found out my friends are also doing podcasts! I started working on having a better relationship with my siblings (we’re not there yet but making progress). I started coming out to people irl as agender for the first time and requesting they use my chosen name and pronouns. I replaced my laptop and started making art again! I applied for a bunch of zines and got into one! I finally worked up the strength to break up with my fiance for real. Just in these last few months I’ve made more new friends and spent more time with them than in the last 3 years put together. (If you are one of those new friends, I’m sorry if I’m weird or awkward, or say too much or too little or just the wrong things, I got used to not having friends and genuinely don’t remember how to be around people. Please be patient with me, I’m trying to get better.)

2020: I just had the first new years eve in a decade where I felt I was ending the year better than I started it. Things aren’t perfect (I still need my ex to move out, I still live in a town that makes me depressed, I’m still not out to my family, I’m still looking for a therapist) but for the first time in a long time, I’m looking forward to the future.

#decade recap #sorry this is so long #my life

❝ you punched me in the face , you made me walk through 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁𝘁𝘆 water , brought me to a FUCKING CRACKHOUSE ( ! ) . . . and now , i’m gonna have to kill this fucking clown . ❞

𝖑𝖆𝖞𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖓𝖊 . dossier .

primarily known as richie.

bowers’ gang’s slew of derogatory nicknames.

‘chee.

𝖑𝖆𝖞𝖊𝖗 𝖙𝖜𝖔 . biographical .

richard james tozier, known affectionaly as richie or trashmouth, is the only son of wentworth and maggie tozier, and for the most part they’re a relatively unassuming family. wentworth is a dentist whose attitude towards his own son’s dental care is simultaneously strict and lax, and maggie makes a life out of spoiling the fuckshit out of her boys but she loves it. there’s nothing out of the ordinary about the little family they’ve built ; established in their routines, in their practices, the toziers are nothing to write home about.

richie’s a handful, admittedly. diagnosed with adhd when he turns four, he’s hyperactive, loud, histrionic, a sarcastic little smartass before he knows what any of those things are. he keeps himself entertained with comic books, drinking in their bright colours and their intricate storylines and develops an infinite love for their careworn pages and their impossible tales. they keep him grounded, strange as it is — - when all goes to shit, as it inevitably will, he’ll thumb through an old copy of uncanny x-men and the world doesn’t seem so heavy anymore. when he gets his first pair of glasses, thick - rimmed plastic frames and lenses more like coke bottles than actual lenses, he spends two hours spiraling deep into the familiar world of his comics. when he gets tripped up the first time, when he gets called fuckface or four - eyes or worse, he swallows back the lump in his throat and legs it home for his comics. when he’s reading, he’s not so hyperactive — - he still frantically jiggles one leg, but he’s quiet, introspective — - the silence is rare but comforting.

his sense of humour is sharp as anything, practised daily on his poor mother and father. he’s developed a slew of Voices, little impressions that differ only in tone and intention, but wentworth and maggie encourage him to keep working, keep building on them. his wit gets him into trouble at school, and numerous teachers have written in reports that richie’s got a bit of a reputation for being a class clown. ( humour is a desperate attempt to grab out, to latch onto a friend because really, he’s so fucking lonely it hurts and he just wants someone to laugh at him and entertain his endless bullshit and be there. )

shouldn’t have wished so hard for friends, because they come along in the form of the losers’ club. richie moreso stumbles across them than anything — - knew bill denbrough because they lived on the same block, found him fuckin’ round in the barrens with some other kids and hey, it’s like they’d been best friends forever. there’s bill, big bill, stuttering bill, de facto leader and richie’s unspoken idol. there’s stan, preternaturally neat and it’s like he came out of the womb like that, already a coherent amalgamation of smiles in his voice and rolled eyes. there’s mike, with his killawatt smile and good intentions and comforting voice that sets ease into richie’s perpetually rattled bones. ben, whose creativity and quiet reassurance is something richie pines after desperately. beverly, the only girl, cigarette-scented voice of rhyme and reason and rationality. then there’s eddie, and richie swallows up anything he can say about eddie before the words come out.

it’s painful, realising you’re in love with your best friend. it starts early, a quick glance here and there that lingers, a breath that catches in your throat when you see him smile. you try and push the feelings down, swallow them whole before they can infect every part of you but darling, it’s never that easy. by the time summer arrives, you are in far too deep. you never really recover from your pre - adolescent tango with love, and it develops into an adolescent waltz with it, and — - you get the picture.

what’s worse is knowing that you’re not the same as the others. you don’t look at beverly like bill and ben do, and you hate yourself for it. you wish you could find joy in the sweet smile of the girl that sits in front of you in english, but you find yourself drawn to the boy who snorts behind his hand at your mistimed joke. you hate the way it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. you hate yourself, but you won’t speak that into existence / choke on the jokes that burn like acid, swallow down the insults you hurl at yourself when you think no one is watching. trash the trashmouth --- - first one to hit the trashmouth where it hurts is the trashmouth himself.

summer brings — - well, it’s been years now and richie’s still lost for words that fit what that summer really was. it starts with a few kids going missing, ending up dead and then it’s george denbrough, little georgie, one arm chewed off and yellow slicker tainted sticky red and then the whole world seems to fall apart. bill’s a madman on a mission, and richie follows — - follows when it means getting taunted by a demon clown alien thing, when it means fucking fighting said demon alien clown thing, snapping eddie’s broken arm back into some kind of place whilst bated breaths are held back in case it hears. they beat it, and richie’s still not sure how but he knows that for six months after, he can’t look at a clown without digging bitten fingernails into calloused flesh of a palm. a year later, he still jumps at too - loud noises. two years later, he starts seeing a therapist because his parents have noticed he can’t sleep in the dark anymore.

he remembers the entirety of that summer in vivid clarity. he wishes he could forget.

high school, college applications, they all become a blur. the losers spend most nights together, endless double features, piling into cars, growing up and together and apart until the first one of them leaves, and it feels like taking a fucking bullet. slowly, they all scatter to the wind, memories firm but never forgotten and richie’s planning california, hot summers and comedy shows but he ends up in castle rock, only a stone’s throw away from derry.

he studies political science, because he’s got a weird aptitude for it. he finds comfort in arguing about trotskyism and writing essays about the fall of the third reich at 4 am in the morning, buzzing on caffeine and glued to the crackle of the tiny little television he bought with the majority of the money he saved for textbooks. he barely attends lectures, and manages to ace his classes because despite everything, he’s brilliant ( and no i won’t let this point go ). despite a well - earned reputation for clownery, he’s always been a brilliant kid and he never chose to go to school, so he never bothered applying himself. he chooses college, therefore he works and it shows.

the nightmares persist well after he thinks he’s over the events of that summer. he wakes up in a cold sweat, throat sore from screaming and clutching ripped sheets, and he can’t chase the nightmares away because they’re too real, they’re out there and he can’t stand that knowledge. he can’t deal with it, so he drinks instead. there’s a few jack daniels bottles stashed under his bed, and he won’t let anyone know about those or how painfully dependent he gets on the hot burn of whiskey down the back of his throat when the nightmares are bad and he’s sticking to threadbare sheets.

and yet, despite everything, he does his best not to change --- same sense of humour, all bark and no bite, tinged with a wide grin and sleep - tousled bedhead. despite everything, he’s still the same old richie, still loudmouthed and too quick for his own good and too much fun to be around.

anyways i love richie tozier a lot thank you for coming to my ted talk

𝖑𝖆𝖞𝖊𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊 . fun facts .

he currently has a radio show on the college radio station, played in the early hours of the morning. it keeps him up and keeps his nightmares away, for the most part. his Voices have been getting gradually better, and he’s been considering doing a segment on his radio show using them.

his entire room that he rents in a sharehouse is covered in film and music posters, not in frames yet bc he’s not that kind of adult yet. he fucking loves star wars, and he thinks empire strikes back is the coolest fucking thing he’s ever seen. he’s an avid pop culture junkie, swallows it all up and ingests it until he’s glowing with it all.

he works as a bartender to make ends meet, amongst other things. he hasn’t been fired for drinking bourbon from the bottle yet, so that’s good for him.

he bought his first car when he was about seventeen, and he loves the damn thing even though it’s pretty much worthy of nothing but the local trash heap.

dresses like a fucking idiot but has that ever changed

slowly he’s thinking about veering out into comedy n i support it for him. ur not jerry seinfeld but try ur best sweetie

a girl blew him a kiss in high school and he pretended like he got shot and ‘ died ’ in mike’s arms. end scene

#（ 🍒 ） : 𝔦. ╱ you filthy fucking goblin woman!

Task #1 - About Montague

BASICS:

Full name: Montague Lauren Asher Nicknames: Monty Age: 25 Species: Siren Date of birth: 23rd of Febuary Place of birth: Duck, North Carolina Zodiac sign: Pisces Gender and pronouns: cismale, he/him Sexual/romantic orientation: bisexual, homoromantic Ethnicity: english, scottish, french Religious views: athiest/agnostic Education level: High School graduate Mental conditions: adhd Physical conditions: n/a

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:

Eye color: brown Hair color: dark brown/nearly black Hair style: His hair is shaggy, almost chin length, and curls at the tips. Most of the time he lets it just do as it pleases as he’s not really the type to care all that much about his appearance. Facial hair: none Skin tone: he tans pretty well in the summer but for the most part he’s pretty pale. Birthmarks: n/a Height: 6′0″ (183 cm) Weight: 155 lbs (70.3 kg) Fitness level: He doesn’t activey make an effort to excersize but he’s got a ton of energy and frequently finds himself doing so anyways. I’d describe his fitness level as slightly above average but nothing too crazy. (He still gets winded going up multiple flights of stairs.) Clothing style: comfy yet stylish, many layers (he often wears either a jean jacket or a faux leather one), dark colors/monocrome, boots and sneakers Piercings: n/a Tattoos: one on his forearm of an octopus (like this one ) Scars: a small dent above his eyebrow from where he fell and hit his head on the corner of a table, scars from staples and an incision from when he broke his arm really badly at fifteen, various faded ones on his shins from being a clumsy kid

PAST:

Best memory: His best memory is probably the day he graduated High School. Montague wasn’t exactly into the whole school thing and considering he’d slacked off until the very end of junior year, it was a lot of hard work on his part to turn things around. Worst memory: The first time his mom killed in front of him in order to restore her youth. She did it with such nonchilance and it terrified him. Biggest secret: He’s a pretty open book, but his biggest secret would have to be the fact that he feels stuck and stupid without any college education or a really stable job to work towards. Biggest fear: Isolation When they arrived on the island: Monty arrived on the island two weeks into December of 2018 in order to connect more with the supernatural community and hopefully sate his mid-twenties hormonal mess of a mindset. How/why they arrived on the island: Montague swam to the island, not from the US but from nearby, because he’d always wanted to go to France. He had family there (500 year old family, but family nonetheless) and as he’d taken the language in school since the elementary days, he was pretty well spoken. Life in his hometown was fine but he found the whole thing boring...and there were no other supernatural’s even close to him so that was a pain in the ass. First kiss: His first kiss happened when he was twelve, it was with a girl two years older than him that basically just attacked his face. He had no idea what to do and decided to go along with it, the result being a horrifically bad kiss with way too much teeth. First love: The first person outside his family that Montague truly loved (romantically, that is) would be his first boyfriend. The guy was called Justin and he was everything Monty wanted to be at age seventeen. Cool, calm, intelligent, and just a little big rebellious - Justin made the siren feel like the star of a romance movie and he was instantly hooked. First time: His first time was also with the girl that stole his first kiss. Her name was Navami and she became one of his closest friends, someone he trusted and cared about enough to not regret having sex with. The whole thing was, once again, a bit of a disaster but he did discover a few things about himself (like just how much he liked surrendering his pleasure to someone else.) Childhood best friend: Montague was an extremely social child and as such had many friends to choose from, none were ever defined in his mind as the ‘best friend’ but three were probably the closest to that definition: Navami, Sidney, and Zach.

MISCELLANEOUS:

Bad habits: smoking, impulsive decision making, picking at his lips, Positive traits: genuine, optimistic, sociable, loyal, kind, and empathetic Negative traits: impatient, immature, occassionally self-centered, naive, talkative, and gullible Emotional stability: decent Sociability: he loves people, parties, and anything with groups of new and exciting personalities Relationship with mother: Montague’s not very close to her but he does think she’s incredibly strong as a person and takes her advice incredibly seriouosly. She’s the type of person he admires for their hardass attitude and ability to take shit from no one. He loves her very much but they don’t often talk. Relationship with father: His father is the person that knows Siblings: two brothers and a sister - he’s not close to any of them but would probably sacrifce himself on their behalf nonetheless Pets: cat called tybalt Role models: His father, Batman, Captain Kirk, Beyonce (?) Favorite place: the beach by his childhood home Favorite animal: octopus Favorite book: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Favorite movie: Star Trek Favorite music: Classic Rock, Alt. Rock, Classical Favorite food: French Fries/Chips Views on romance: Montague’s a romatnic, he loves romance - chocolate, flowers and all. He’d love to find a partner who shares the same views and is willing to humor him and all his silly little date ideas. Anything else to know about them: n/a (added as I think things up)

Ok so when I saw the original post that prompted this I couldn’t process my words properly, and I was asleep when this was posted, but I want to add something

Finch isn’t just a jailer, or guard, he’s a captain. He’s pretty high ranking! That may have been a promotion after his initial guard duty, but even so, he’s not just Some Guy.

He’s important enough that, in the Toasty Cinematic Universe/Mawwied Saga fic that was co-written by Frey and Kai, Finch was called upon multiple times while Dream was dealing with all the foreign corrupts popping up, at least one of which, Obsidian, Dream recognized as a much bigger threat to his multiverse and organization then the Meme Squad. Which, even if you consider that the Meme Squad’s worst crime is murder in self-defense, and you think Dream will take that into account (…ehhh), is still pretty surprising! Bc ignoring Obsidian’s entire existence Dream’s awfully convinced that Nightmare is Bad(TM)

I’m pretty sure Finch helped break Hacker out in canon. I’m not as sure on this as the rest, due to ADHD brain limited memory storage, and also toasty; Dream notices Hacker while stuck in the cell as Finch is trying to figure out what the fuck is going on, and Dream’s main reaction to seeing Hacker is just ‘Finch what the fuck????’

Though given the circumstances, he probably didn’t care as much as he would normally, so. Again. ehhh

Still, it’s not impossible that Finch has risked his job for Hacker.

Also I really do not think Finch is the only guard/jailer in JR. Besides being detrimental to Finch’s health, with the hours and probably threats from the more violent inmates, it would be so inefficient as to render it effectively useless, and if there’s one thing you can say about JR it’s that they try their damnedest to be efficient.

Finch might be the only named guard down there that we know of but I’d be shocked if he was the only one. With the size of the castle alone, and the number of people JR arrests on a daily basis, given their scope and power? Honey he would not make it. No one would. Unless I guess you’re immortal and don’t need sleep or food, and enjoy working in a place like that. Neither of which are Finch. I’m sure there are other guards in the prison block.

And Hacker. He’s a whore (loving) but he’s not a cheater. He wouldn’t just go off and fuck a someone else if he was dating Finch. Also he loves Finch? Real sure that in canon he’s the one who starts flirting with Finch. And if Finch really does break Hacker out, Hacker sure as hell isn’t going to act like that was nothing.

Hacker’s crimes, to the extent of my knowledge, are credit card fraud and association with an organized crime group. As in he worked for them though unwillingly. I do not know what they had him do so I don’t know how severe his charges are, but regardless he’d likely be facing some pretty hefty jail time, if not worse.

Being broken out by one of the fucking guards isn’t nothing. He’s not letting Finch think for a second he’s ungrateful

Also the post that started this said something about Hacker buying Finch a bunch of gifts and I’m,,,

Ok you’re right Hacker would be the type to give gifts. But he probably DOES work at McDonald’s so where‘s the money coming from my dude he’s getting paid like $8 an hour so unless he’s getting cheap shit from the mcgoddamn dollar store he will not be showering Finch with gifts

That’s a minor concern to me but it did make me laugh. Even if Randy’s the main income for the house and he’s in charge of buying the necessities Hacker doesn’t have that much extra spending money. The main ‘gifts’ Finch’ll get are Hacker’s undying love and occasionally “hey I know you had a long day so I got you a Big Mac meal and a McFlurry with my employee discount”

if finch was money hungry Hacker wouldn’t even be an option my guy he works minimum wage

Tbh not even sure he’d work at JR bc while I’m sure they have a decent salary, especially at his position, I’m sure there are many other places that would pay him much more

That’s all my coherency for the morning beyond actually shippy things I want to keep out of this for the sake of just. not making it about how good Finch/Hacker is and keeping it on the topic of bad takes

No, Dreamswap Kooler is NOT the worst ship: A Character And Relationship Analysis

Disclaimer: This is not a personal attack on anyone, but more of a cautionary post to warn those that are or could be misconstrued about Finch and Hacker's characterization and relationship to please please PLEASE not get their characterization all tangled up into a pretzel. I cannot in good faith (and perhaps with a hyperfixation and caffeine) let that happen. If anyone's personal bad take is on this, it is not meant to shame you, but to educate.

Analysis under cut, this got WAY too long and I didn't even notice!

Okay. So. Dreamswap Finch and Hacker. Kai was not perfect when it came to their characterizations, but the fact people are misinterpreting Finch as some sort of villain, as well as that Hacker being nothing short of a whore (derogatory) and likely a serial cheater makes me want to drink myself to sleep at night.

In Dreamswap, Finch does not have very much going for aside that he's a trans guy, pansexual, dates Hacker, is a jailer and is worried about losing his job or something for dating Hacker, and also overworks himself.

Which is... eh. It's a base, but it's a far cry from Color, the guy who legitimately SHOT NIGHTMARE just to save Killer from him, but okay.

And with Hacker, he is a bisexual manwhore who was jailed in Justice Reigns for a while, and he's flirty as shit and has a dad and a brother. Aside from the different relations to what is effectively Horror and Dust (sorry, Bad Sans Poly would never work in canon), this is just a regional variant of Killer, which isn't a bad thing generally.

So I can understand why some people would SORT OF misinterpret some things about them, especially since Kai is clumsy in handling them in the first place. Though at the same time, they are just irrelevant or most-irrelevant side characters in what is effectively Dreamswap; Kai only created them to appease the many people who were asking about DS Color or DS Killer.

But there has to be a line drawn in the sand when people begin thinking DS Kooler is "the WORST ship in Dreamswap." What's the worst ship in Dreamswap? Error and Blue. Blue and Cross. Blue and Dream. I can think of all those off the top of my head, and Blue is one of my favorite characters!

So let's go first with Finch. Canonly, he's a jailer, which is a terrible choice imo, but even then he could make it more humane for the prisoners by at least engaging in conversation with them, make them feel okay, to make their stay a little less terrible. This makes sense for Finch at least in terms of him being a Color variant while also still sticking to the canon. (I'll sooner or later write an entire college thesis on why Finch starting a rehab program for Justice Reigns' prisoners would be a much better way to characterize for him- also in general very good for Justice Reigns ig.)

There isn't much to add for Hacker, his whole schtick is an open and shut case, though that one drawing of Hacker being all "let me love you" seems more Dankswap then what Hacker would act like, basing off of Killer. Hacker loves Finch, but if Finch didn't want to date him I don't think Hacker would pull an incel move and try and force a relationship, smh smh.

Now with their relationship, in canon with Killer and Color, if they were anything BUT gay I would eat a brick and my shoe whole. In Dreamswap, of course they're so god damn gay, because their sources are gay.

Finch overworks himself, it would make much more sense if he did so by helped prisoners rather then just for jailing others, because overworking himself to make others miserable... ick that is SUCH a terrible rendering of Finch, but I digress. Finch is highly strung, and here comes Hacker with his easygoing and flirty personality, they kiss, become boyfriends, probably fuck, Finch deals with Justice Reigns bullshit to get Hacker free, Hacker gets adopted by Randy alongside Bobby and they live happily ever after! Awesome, right?

I have no clue how someone can look at that and go "this is super unhealthy" but here we are I guess! (my life has been sucked out of my soul pls im crying from this sentence needing to exist)

The only way I could conceivably see why it could be unhealthy is the power dynamic at the beginning; Finch is effectively a glorified guard, and Hacker is a prisoner that could theoretically be in for a long sentence or even death trial if found guilty. But once you strip that away with Hacker being released and being a free man, that power dynamic goes away. Finch is not stupid and neither is Hacker when it comes to this, either; they both know about this power dynamic, and while Finch is dubious about it, when Hacker continues to pursue Finch after he is released, it becomes irrelevant.

Aside from that? Finch is not money-hungry nor sex-hungry, and even if that made him happy (which, it does not), he would not let himself enjoy either of those things if it ends up taking advantage of someone else. Finch is, despite what some may think, a genuinely good person. He's not an android programmed to only follow Dream and Dream alone, and be a pissbaby otherwise; He isn't Ink, and Ink even has relations to Error, so Ink isn't even just a robot either! It would be more correct to say Cross is loyal only to Nightmare and Error, and that isn't even relevant to Finch at all.

Also, I don't think being a jailer comes with near-death experiences pretty often. Ink's line of work? Yeah, I could see Dream saving his ass a few times, but with Finch? The most Dream does with saving his ass is urging him to take breaks more often. I could see how getting a replacement eye and a little help with his magic could be a debt Finch would want to repay Dream, but that's small potatoes in comparison to everything else, and also having to slave away to get yourself medical attention you desperately need is pretty dark, and I'm a god damn American that wants to get away from that.

Ink likely does not care enough about Finch and Hacker's relationship to "kick Finch's ass" if he found out. Hell, he'd be a god damn HYPOCRITE for doing that, and while Ink can be known to be a bit of a hypocrite and an ass, he wouldn't be malicious. What he said to Cross is probably one of the worst things he did, and aside from that he's just a general ass then a targeting bully. Did you know that canonly, if Ink came into Dream's office while he was snogging up to Nightmare, he would roll his eyes and walk away like nothing happened. THAT is Ink and that shows how much he doesn't care about that shit.

Also, can we not have Dream abusing his employees? Please? Please? It's about as in-character for him as it is in-character for Blue to be a sadomasochist, which if someone thinks that Oh God Who The Hell Are They. Finch wouldn't be taking abuse lying down either. Total loyalty, some loyalty or none, he's not allowing himself to be abused. He does not take SHIT from anyone. While it's a conflict of interest for Finch to date a prisoner, the worst Dream would do is fire him or transfer him to another position; not "kick Finch's ass".

And to quote someone who knows even more about Color then I do:

"Finch is only a fuckin jailer in Dreamswap, why the fuck would he have loyalty if he's left to care for criminals all the god damn time. That position in and of itself isn't respectful of Finch's own fucking source material. You think Color imprisons people? I get Finch is supposed to be an alt but Jesus fucking Christ, how about you put actual work and thought into his character for once. Color wants to help people heal and improve. That is what he does. Jailers don't do that. They just keep people in cages."

So unfortunately, not knowing Finch's source has ended up with Finch getting the short end of the stick when it comes to how people view him.

Thankfully with Hacker, he isn't as butchered. It's hard to butcher Killer, alt or not, but when it happens it's no less painful. Hacker is flirty, and that is a fact. Hacker likes sex, and that is a fact. But what Hacker is, is not a serial cheater. Does anyone think, for a moment, that Killer would cheat on his partner(s) in good consciousness? Not in a million fuckin' years, and you might as well write corrupted OG Nightmare as an uwu baby for how much character assassination is going on in that scenario.

Not to mention, Finch would be risking his job for Hacker - and I don't think that's small potatoes, especially when Hacker finds himself in love with Finch and vice versa. Yes, Finch overworks himself, but on the other side of things, Hacker is lax and easygoing. After working a long day at JR, Finch going back home and getting kisses, cuddles and a massage from Hacker sounds like the best fucking package deal ever, and it would keep Finch from being as highly strung as he is. Hacker might be able to convince Finch to take it a little easier as the years go on. Not to mention, even if Finch is fired, Hacker's got a fuckin job at McDonald's and he's not affiliated to Nightmare like Cross or Error is, so it's not like Finch can't take a job at a private prison, or a rehab center, or god damn orphanage or something that would fit what he wants to do in life, because unless it's sort of some dystopia where if you are fired from or once jailed in JR you can't ever get a job, the likelihood of Finch being able to get a job would be very very high, especially in a god damn multiverse. I'm pretty sure if Finch had to do overtime for his job in order to survive rather then doing it at his own recourse, Hacker would encourage him to drop Justice Reign's housing and live in together with, idk, fucking Randy and Bobby and him, and that just makes Justice Reigns look so bad, like they want their workers to just slave away and barely scrape by with overtime. Is that what Dream's idea of spreading positivity all about? Dude's bout to get a fucking wake up call when people ditch his fucking cause. We're talking about Justice Reigns, people, not fuckin America.

And on a further note about Finch overworking himself and barely seeing Hacker: Finch doesn't sleep on the fuckin' floor of Justice Reigns. I'm pretty sure curling up and cuddling with Hacker is still a nice thing to come back home to, and Hacker isn't a needy partner like Nightmare. Yes, he wants to see Finch a lot, but knows that Finch likes doing his work, and so long as Finch is doing what he loves and that Hacker can see him at the end of the day to encourage and congratulate him and kiss him, that is good enough for Hacker. Yes, it can be a mild strain on the relationship, but if grandpop and grandma could have an awesome relationship even if one of them was deported during a war for months or years on end or working a laborious intensive job, I'm pretty sure these gay bastards can work it out too.

It's also arguably the most healthiest ship in canon Dreamswap. Sure, any one from the meme squad dating each other can be just as healthy, but DS Kooler still ranks high on the list. With Finchfeathers, which I simply adore from that name alone, it's two highly strung, workaholic people, and I'm pretty sure a relationship between a CEO and an employee under him is a power dynamic that doesn't go away. Not to mention it doesn't allow much room for growth; maybe a little for Finch to take it a little easier, but it never quite blossoms like Kooler. Maybe Finch could pitch the idea of a rehab... but that doesn't hinge on them being a relationship, and if anything it could strain it more with Finch wanting to help people as much as he does. Yes, two golden eggs look pretty together, but when the shell cracks, the yolk goes everywhere. And with Finch dating Blue, concerning how manipulative Blue is (no, we only have 2018 Blue in this household), Blue could be a good catalyst for Finch being fired, or he would use Finch for nefarious purposes when it comes to Justice Reigns. And since Finch isn't a dumbass, Blue would be dropped faster then a hot potato.

TL;DR: Kooler is great and stop saying it ain't.

#dreamswap #nah man the post that prompted this was insane #it was after them saying that they wouldn’t draw the ship #which is totally fine. you don’t like a ship who am I to argue. even if I think it’s odd #bc I ship them and think they’re cute #but you come out here with a take so bad you completely mischaracterize them

26 April 2021

i haven’t written in a while, but i’ve had a hard time falling asleep lately, so i might as well. i really need to work on that, and probably talk to my doctor about it. i’ve always had sleep issues related to anxiety—it’s never been easy for me to fall asleep. i’m always kept up by old memories or bad trains of thought, or even just an inability to turn my brain off. some of that may be undiagnosed adhd. but it got worse last summer, when i was diagnosed with chronic migraines. before getting out on medicine, i would spend a lot of time in bed. kind of like i am now. but i was at home, so i always had my mom giving me shit about it. she mad me feel bad some being in pain, even though i couldn’t help it. but i eventually got medicine for the migraines, and they don’t effect me as much anymore. but the fatigue from that chronic pain lingered, i think. which sucks. i always thought of myself as decently energetic. i like to do things and explore and live my life, for the most part. but i don’t have the energy anymore. physically, i’m almost always exhausted. i hate having to budget my energy in ways that other people don’t have to. i hate when i have to say no to my friends when they ask to go on a late night skate, because i do want to, but i physically can’t. and, of course, i could be doing better. i could be exercising regularly and eating more than one meal a day. i should be. but i’m just barely getting by with school as a priority right now, and even then, i’m a week behind on a final paper that i have to do for a class. i just—i KNOW i need to do better, and i want to, but there’s just so much i need to change about what i’m doing. i need to change how i sleep and eat and exercise and get a better handle on my anxiety/depression and do something about my possible adhd because it’s interfering with my classes and DO BETTER IN SCHOOL and find time to relax to recharge myself and all these things and it’s just too much.

things with [001] have been pretty good. i’ve felt really good with him lately. just, being in love with him. i don’t know. i’m going to preface my thoughts with the fact that i’m very in love with him, and think so highly of him. and honestly, i don’t feel as bad right now as i used to. but i know that my, like, trust for him has been wounded. not that i distrust him? i actually trust him a lot. but when it comes to certain things with him, i find myself second-guessing myself out of fear of being hurt. which is the worst feeling, because i look at him and feel so much love and admiration. but i don’t do certain things anymore, like changing his name in my phone or suggesting to trade a stuffie, because i’m afraid of being hurt again. i never should’ve gotten those necklaces; all i did was set myself up to get hurt. if he wanted to wear something to show he loves me, he would. if he wanted to keep track of it, he would. it was my idea—i never asked if he wanted them. i should’ve just let him get something like that for us if he ever wanted to. i was so stupid—i knew i liked him so early, even though i didn’t expect it to happen, and i let myself fall for him completely just because he said it was okay. i shouldn’t have jumped so early. i should’ve waited, until i knew he was jumping too. he’s taking steps, and i recognize and appreciate those, but i shouldn’t have moved at a fast pace than he was. stupid hopeless romantic i guess. even wearing his shirt was almost bittersweet, because i love wearing someone else’s clothing, and i was terrified of it being ripped away from me. it’s awful, because i’ve never been the type of person to hold back feelings or actions like that out of fear. but i suppose it’s not necessarily an irrational fear. i can only hope he won’t do the same thing again. plus, there are stupid gremlin feelings that get into my head when we aren’t officially together. i hate that it happens this way, but it’s like, a mutual trust thing. like, one thing is that i don’t know what to call him when people ask. he’s essentially my boyfriend, but he hates that title. but he’s more than just my friend, too. and i can’t burden people with an “it’s complicated” explanation. i don’t know. plus, i know and hate that i feel more angry and jealous towards [002] when [001] and i aren’t officially dating than when we are. when we were actually dating, i didn’t care about seeing her. it hardly phased me. but now, i know it bothers me. because, on top of all the things [002] did to me, she actually got to date [001]. she got a long relationship with him. and if that had been me, i wouldn’t have taken [001] for granted and fucked it up like [002] did. i know that it’s not the right time for [001] to be in a relationship yet because he has things to sort out first, but, i don’t know. maybe i’m overthinking it and should just enjoy what we have, because whenever i point out anything that i’m a little unhappy with, he’s had a habit of taking it too harshly and leaving me. and that’s not what i want. i want him, and i love him, and i love what we have, and i’m fine with moving at whatever pace he’s comfortable with. i think i just might need some reassurance sometimes. maybe we can work on that, once finals are over.

it’s honestly all just too much right now. i don’t want to go back home in a few days, especially while i’m still having sleep problems. seeing my parents will be tough. i wish i could just pause a specific moment and stay in it for as long as i needed to. i think i’d find a comfortable spot to rest with [001] so we could both get some sleep and not worry about anything. a big bed, so we had plenty of space to cuddle and sleep for as long as we need. and no time would pass, so we could worry about work and school and deadlines later.

anyways, i’m gonna go to sleep now. this is unedited, so sorry for any typos or weird sentences. i’ll fix it in the morning, maybe.

20. What was your most embarrassing moment?

This is the only one I can think of right now

In February, when I was at a French Conversation Hour, someone kept calling me and everyone is like “you should answer it” (I NEVER answer the phone if I don’t know the number by the way). So by the 4th call, I answered it, put it on speaker, said “bonjour”, and started speaking in French and acting like I didn’t speak any English (just in case it was a scam or something). After a few moments of worry and confusion she says “I have a package from Amazon…is this [my name]?” Then I start apologizing like crazy, everyone bursts out laughing, then I go to meet her at the Student Center to pick up my package and apologize some more (because mail services were closed and I ordered one day delivery). I explained that I was in a French club and never answer unknown numbers. I hope I gave her a fun story to tell her coworkers lol

TL;DR I answered an unknown number speaking in French in case it was a scam, turns out it was an Amazon employee with my package and I made her worried that I didn’t speak English
