HAPPY OUT OF TOUCH THURSDAY

[sionisjaune]

Mick/Nico corporate AU pre-slash that has not left my brain for two weeks!

There’s chair scraping and handshaking and seat switching while everyone finds a spot at the table. Events staff rented out the restaurant, but there’s still hardly enough space. It’s all of upper management and Mick, who is technically upper management now. Seb pulls out his chair next to Mick and tucks his serviette into the collar of his shirt, because no one can bear to tell him it’s not actually a classy move. Lewis, on Seb’s other side, smiles fondly. Later, they’ll hold hands under the table and everyone will pretend they can’t see it. The employee fraternization policy is nothing short of draconian, and Toto has been wielding it tyrannically ever since the incident in 2016. 

Dinner is fine. The chicken is tender if bland, and everyone makes jealous eyes at Lewis’s stuffed mushroom when it comes out. The email George forwarded everyone said absolutely no work talk, but everyone’s talking about work because it’s most of the things they have in common. Mick does get in a few ranching stories from when he managed to get out west and visit his mother. Everyone laughs at the part where Angie jumped into Mick’s arms, terrified by the wild horses.

During the pause between dinner and dessert, Mick excuses himself to visit the bathroom. Daniel cracks a joke about cocaine that was obviously informed by American movies. George blushes, but Max, the terrifying attorney Toto poached, cackles throatily. Mick waves the whole thing off and vacates his seat quietly. 

At the bathrooms, Mick makes a sharp left and slips open the sliding doors to the terrace. He’s halfway across and sucking in the fresh air before he notices that the terrace is already occupied. The back of a deep green jacket indicates that Mick should hightail it off of the balcony immediately. 

Nico Rosberg is the Director of Global Affairs, Lewis’s ex-husband and one half of the incident in 2016. When he turns around to raise an eyebrow at Mick, Mick half expects to see a cigarette hanging from his lips, spilling smoke across the skyline. He’s heard Nico is a health nut, though. He’s heard lots of things about Nico. 

“I think this place is big enough for two,” says Nico, glancing around the terrace. “I can’t blame you if you need a breather. No one likes these things.” 

Mick doesn’t tell him that Seb and Lewis seem to be enjoying themselves just fine. He finds a spot on the terrace a safe distance away from Nico and takes in the view from the 43rd floor. 

“It’s a nice thing, getting everyone together,” says Mick. It’s probably the altitude making his head spin.

“It’s cruel,” says Nico. “We get to pretend that we’re all friends because we can make polite conversation between courses for three hours. With alcohol.”

“It can’t be that bad.” Mick chances a glance at Nico. He isn’t looking at Mick, just gazing across the horizon at the harbour, barely visible in the gap between highrises. “Where were you last week, Ibiza?”

Nico scoffs. “Shut in the office on phone calls all day. I would rather stay in one place, I think, then travel to different glass boxes all over the world. And I hate hotels.” 

“I guess it’s nice to be home,” says Mick. Seb’s realtor hooked him up with a condo in the city where he has all his stuff, but home is Gland and Texas, really. He’s heard that the incident in 2016 took place in a hotel room, which might be what Nico’s getting at. He’s also heard that it happened in Lewis’s apartment, in Nico’s family home and in Toto’s office in front of the entire floor. A lot of people have a lot of things to say about what happened, except for Lewis and Nico, and Seb, out of respect for Lewis. 

“Home,” says Nico, bitterly. “Where’s that, anyway.”

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

i could not be trusted to make this game because my immediate thought is that the game advertises and markets itself as what op intended but steadily and then rapidly becomes very clear that instead of a cozy cute cottagecore "mystery" the story SHOULD be about the blatant corruption, cruelty, systemic oppression, and persecution and bigotry of her neighbors, but the main character is desperately clinging to the original genre of omg cozy cute and cottagecore because she feels overwhelmed by the potential responsibility to enact meaningful change rather than feel-good aesthetic positivity, thus becoming actively complicit in the town's crimes through her not mere inaction but in fact conscious choice to decide that she will be the protagonist of a cozy cute genre game rather than a story which might challenge her preconceptions of the world and the state of her own community.

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.

a small comic i started foreeeeever ago but never posted bc i wasnt happy with the poses so i tweaked it a little :3 much happier with how it looks now

I will say this was originally a vent comic but my feelings on the matter have sense changed. I used to struggle with romantic validation for a REALLY long time (sometimes i still do) but honestly i have really fulfilling relationships so why should it matter who finds me attractive or not! as long as im happy with myself

also this comic isnt saying that romantic relationships are better than platonic ones or anything like that, it was just to reflect on my own insecurity in the field. plus sometimes people just yearn!

anyway i hope this can resonate with people or whatevs, charlie daydreamers continues to be my vessel for all forms of projection <3

* Despite everything....it's still you

Few days late (work....it never ends..) but happy birthday in stars and time!! I finished the game right in time for the anniversary so I had to dedicate my first fanart to it. I remember when I first booted up the game I made a video of me watching the opening scene and I added the Undertale track "Memory" to it. I didn't even know it was an inspiration for the game the music just felt...fitting. Then siffrin responded to the friendship doodle by going "it's you!". The idea just sprung. That statement just kept spinning in my head the entire time I played the game. So it's only fitting that an indie game that changed the trajectory of my life completely just like that Undertale to get this sort of fanart yk?

Textless versions and some more ramblings provided under the cut!!

Kinda proud of how loop-frin and bigfrin turned out...and the expression of mal du pays and "say its name" siffrin too (may or may not like drawing terrified expressions- new discovery!). I wanted to add more (if I upload the timelasp you can see there were some other sif sketches that never got lined) and i wanted to include the fam in act6 picture but....time. Oh well, I just needed to express my love for this game *somehow*. Siffrin and everyone else mean the world to me and just....honestly not enough words. Just, thank you @insertdisc5 for creating this wonderful game. I wish you and everyone else good luck on whatever lies ahead on our journey <3

EDIT: Timelasp uploaded!!
