all this basilisk talk is just giving me the thought of like: how does hunter, famous for being Completely Ok with people treating him poorly for no reason all the time forever, cope with knowing that camilas only knowledge of him was that he was a cruel unrepentant bastard who let her daughter be tortured, and camila was nice to him. like. always.
GOD.
this is another thing that won't be set in stone until i fic it, if i fic it properly, but:
i think Probably he won't be able to conceptualize it as kindness for the sake of kindness. not at first, anyway. he's like okay, best case scenario, you've been kind to me because it helps you politically and you don't want to alienate luz. WORST case scenario, you thought i was going two for two on torturing your daughters and wanted me to like you so luz wouldn't get hurt.
and also i think there's an element of simply.... why WOULDN'T you hate me. what is wrong with you that you don't hate me. you SHOULD hate me
hunter has already reacted sensitively to vee's existence in the fic canon without even knowing anything about her - first being hurt that luz may have kept An Entire Sister from him (and relieved she didn't), and then being angry with camila for leaving vee behind:
^boys who are sensitive to the plight of the unfavorite child. for some weird reason.
so if and when he comes around to "this kindness wasn't politically motivated," there's about an 85% chance he's just going to be. furious. sure, I'M a monster but YOU don't even Care that i'm a monster. and that makes you WORSE.
while camila is like. how can i Possibly explain to you Just How Young You Are. without sounding condescending.

With no hate to that previous post I just reblogged bc its valid in and of itself:
I get what they're saying, but it's actually *not* like Rick Riordan broke into your house and moved all of your furniture.
It's more like you *bought* furniture and installment services from Uncle Rick's Home Goods in 2008, a lovely niche shop focused on serving our underserved community of neurodivergents. And then, despite your furniture from that time still being exactly as it was when you bought it and billions of exact copies being for sale, when Uncle Rick said, "Hey guys, I'm going to make this same line of furniture out of completely different material, and Im adopting a new installation tactic, but it's going to stick to its general function and purpose," you giddily clapped your hands and said, "I can't wait to see the exact same thing made out of entirely different materials!" Forgetting, of course, that that is literally impossible.
And **then** you came home and found that Rick (whom you left the door open for!) moved all of your furniture slightly to the left. Also he replaced every item with near-identical copies.
"I liked it the way it was very much, thank you!" Then don't get the update, idiot. It is so optional to watch this show. You had to wait a week between every episode. You had to torrent every 40 minute video on a weekly basis, or drive to visit your one family member who won't give up Disney+ anyway. And when things started proving to be different, *you* made the conscious choice to see where things were going. Now you're mad and miffed that it wasn't as faithful an adaptation as The Lion King 2019 was to the original 💀. Coming from an AuDHDer, please understand that your neurodivergent rigidity can only be accommodated so much, my friend. Real people worked hard to make this. Different people from the book's production. *More* people than the book's production. And you know what's crazy is that, despite all of this, some of the tone of minor scenes may have changed, but nothing major truly did. We did it-- we got a faithful adaptation!! If it's not your cup of tea, if your mind's eye just cannot be topped, it's all good. Just say, "this seemed cooler in my head." But oh my god, I'm tired of the Rick slander. The overall crew slander. As if people didn't work their asses off to make this show happen at all. "Rick Riordan broke into my home--" you let him in. *You* watched the show; you let him in and consented to whatever the fuck he was going to do (which...wasn't even much).
If you are scared of coming home and finding your special interest moved slightly to the left, stop letting the author back in through your front door.

favourite tag novel, you said? well, i have a few but there are a couple i really love (i'm on anon bc this is a sideblog so i can't post links smh) but anyway:
the little juraj/arber locker room vid. you wrote it like a mix of domestic fluff/romcom and pointing out the size difference even though they're both pretty big guys?? be still my heart. also juraj gives off so many giant puppy vibes and i love him for it
the mcdrai moment after connor gets injured. i've only been in this fandom a short time but i already know mcdrai are pretty popular (one of the reasons i didn't pay much attention as i'm more of a rarepair girlie) but that set and your tags have actually gotten me invested in them?! like, the tenderness? and the way connor seems so stunned by it? plus the oilers video coach thirdwheeling in the bg hehe (anyway, i have a potential new ship thank you)
i'll stop now but if you ever see your tags added onto any rbs of mine (with credit ofc) that's because they're amazing and everyone else should see them too. (ps, i hope the change in your life goes smoothly for you and you feel better soon!)
- @softvikings
i had to just sit down and look at this ask for like. three hours i’m not even kidding and this response still does not convey how deeply touched i am 🥹😭 it’s going in a bulleted list because looking back at all of them made ME feel feral all over again
juraj/arber is such a sleeper pairing to me as in I forget that the montreal canadiens exist (sorry) and then i see everyone on their team and get activated (screaming about juraj paying arber back with dinner for PROTECTING HIM)
as someone who also initially had no mcdrai emotions (rip dylan strome i still love your narrative deeply) i think the experience is universal… they’re so deeply unhinged about each other that i can’t even put it into words but My God Are There Narrative Implications
kissing you (with consent) full on the mouth and blessing you to be in my tags any time you want!!!! peer review and collaboration at its finest 🥰💕🥹

What's my biggest fantasy? Well I think it'd have to be... when my coworker messages "Can we start doing X?" even though I SENT HER the new workflow for X that just NEEDS HER APPROVAL (because IN THEORY she's supposed to own/direct X task and I'm just supposed to implement it) and every time she asks I reply to my own message saying "here in this very chat, right here, I sent you this new workflow. We cannot move forward on X until you review and approve it" and she goes like "Sorry I'll get right on that!" and then days later she messages me again asking "Can we start doing X?".... in my deepest darkest fantasies I tell her "scroll up in this very conversation and rephrase in your own words what I have messaged you so I can see that you have read my words and understand them".
And bonus whenever she sends me an urgent ask about a separate task/thing I need to fix I deeply, fervently fantasize about saying "Before I go drop everything to fix this, can you pause for a moment and read the message I sent you asking for your feedback on X that you left on read? Like you opened this chat, the message must be in front of your eyes, but clearly you did not pause to think 'oh before I ask this person to go do another task for me maybe I should look at the latest message in this chat to make sure I am not completely ignoring the ask they made of me that I keep somehow forgetting to do while still somehow remembering to ask 'can we start doing X' every few days'."

Sunday Six - no I didn't forget I just haven't written anything since summer let out XD
I'm p sure this is everyone who tagged me/the ones I remember to tag. @four-white-trees @mike----wazowski @jichanxo @passthroughtime @skysquid22
anyone else bc it's 11pm PST and about to hit Monday, so I forgot you forgive me 🙏
I'm also not at my computer and don't feel like booting it up so uh.... I've been deep in the Essence brainrot so here's so completely and wildly out of context dialogue from Lily XD
"Listen... last time we fought, you asked me what I fought for. What I believed in... no one's asked me that before. I didn't realize until you said something. I've just been following the expectations of others. What they wanted for me. What they thought I was. But I'm done letting other people define my legacy."

@scribedhorror continued from here.
some would call it a walk of shame, though if you asked farleigh, he'd claim that there was nothing shameful in it to be found. if anything, it got him out of bed way earlier than he would normally have chosen to do so, allowing him to enjoy the brisk morning air on a day where he didn't have much going on until the afternoon. and if that was shameful, well, he might as well start repenting now because he's done way worse things in his lifetime than that.
he'd already stopped at cafe nero, grabbing himself a drink and some food, fully intending on eating it and passing out whenever he got back to his dorm. both were held delicately in his right hand, while the left reaches down to the back pocket of his trousers to search for his pack of cigarettes, ( because what was a meal without an appetizer? ) but two pats are enough to tell him they aren't there, and he stops, flipping the food and drink to the other hand before he taps the pockets of his other side a little more frantically — and that's when he realizes that they're nowhere to be found.
❛❛ are you kidding me right now? ❜❜ he glances back in the direction he's come from, knowing that if he went back for something as small as pack of cigarettes, that this whole thing would truly become a walk of shame at that point. and to be honest, farleigh has way more pride than that. but it's not like he has time to focus on his loss for long, because before he even gets to mourn his precious cigarettes, a half - naked man is running towards him. and frankly, if he had to choose between a half - naked man or a pack of cigarettes, the man was going win out every single time.
❛❛ heeeey. ❜❜ the word is strung out intentionally, giving him a few seconds in order to take in the sight that is bill ... something - or - other. he was at a loss for what his last name actually was right now, but to be fair, what kind of thoughts was he expected to string together when staring down a sight like that this early in the morning? and he pauses to oh - so obviously do a once - over of the guy standing in front of him, before shrugging slightly as a smile forms. ❛❛ why? ... are you going to help me out if it's not? ❜❜
