J.D. Vance killed Pope Francis

J.D. visited him yesterday, on Easter no less, and he’s dead only 4 hours later.

There is a lore tidbit that I established in like the early, early chapters of CTB that is about to becoming glaringly relavent again except I cannot figure out if/where that lore tidbit is so I have no idea if I actually wrote this down or if I just thought about it really hard 😬

464 words of pre-slash pining fluff for day one of @steddie-week / rated G or T

It’s not as tight a fit in the listening booth as Eddie hoped it would be, but it does get him closer to Steve than he’s been all day. (Well, except for when he draped himself all over Steve at their table in the food court, or when they were pressed close in the photo booth, Eddie goading Steve into making goofy faces, or when their knees were resting together at the movies earlier.)

But they’re in their own bubble here. The rest of the world completely shut out. Just the two of them, one set of headphones, and a song shared between them.

Eddie has the album at home, and he wouldn’t be surprised if Steve knows that, but he didn’t resist when Eddie dragged him in here with one hand curled around Steve’s wrist, the other clutching the album they’re listening to now.

The song is so familiar and it fades to the background as Eddie watches Steve sidelong; the drums keep time with the beat of his heart, the howling guitar could be the singing in his blood. He catches Steve looking at him, once, twice, three times, his pulse skipping whenever their gazes lock.

This is almost everything Eddie wants. Listening to music with Steve, forgetting about the world beyond the song and the space between them. It would be perfect if he was sure that Steve’s heart is beating as hard as his, that his skin tingles at the nearness of Eddie, the way Eddie’s skin is tingling, now, being so close to Steve. The way his stomach swoops, and his chest feels full to bursting, how he’s every single fucking hopelessly in love cliche whenever they’re together, and even more when they’re not.

But he doesn’t know. He has no fucking clue. Sometimes, maybe, he thinks—hopes—but how can he be sure? He’s out of his depths here. It drives him crazy but, fuck, in moments like this he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Steve shifts, their hips bumping together, the brush of his arm against Eddie’s sending electricity through him. It draws Steve closer and he doesn’t move away, so they listen to the rest of the song pressed close, like the booth is half the size.

“So”—Eddie pulls his side of the headphones away from his ear when the song ends—“what did you think?” He bites his lip, kicks Steve’s foot.

“I think I liked it.” Steve’s gaze flicks outside the booth, then fixes back on Eddie. His eyes twinkle, warm and dark, and he turns so he’s facing Eddie fully. He licks his lips and leans in, saying, “But maybe we could listen to it again?”

“Yeah,” Eddie says, a smile forming, “maybe we could,” and he starts the song over.

something I’ve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I don’t think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldn’t have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasn’t because he didn’t feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone else’s. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldn’t allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasn’t, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isn’t immune to feeling despair, he’s just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think that’s why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous ‘oh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind it’ or ‘he can do better than that. he’s so weak’ or ‘come on, there’s no way he’d fall into despair, he’s the Ultimate Hope!’ This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didn’t feel despair the same way ‘normal people’ did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasn’t doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he just… was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more ‘gung-ho’ about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junko’s unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesn’t all rest on Makoto, he’s just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, it’s clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.

“But… this world is so huge, and we’re so small. What can we do…? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!”

When I was typing a lawlight tag, I saw the autofill option for lawsuit, and I immediately thought, “No, that’s L and Mikami’s ship name.” Because Lawliet and prosecutor, y’know. And now that’s all I can think about.

God. What if Pandora didn’t want to open the box. What if she was manipulated, her hands tied to and guided by strings she couldn’t shake off. What if when she released the horrors out into the world, Hope chose to stay with her, in the box. What if Pandora couldn’t rid herself of that guilt. What if Hope couldn’t convince her that not all was lost, and that she wasn’t responsible for the strings around her hands. That she wasn’t a monster.

What if Pandora and Hope found a way to trap everything in the box again. What if Pandora couldn’t do it. What if she didn’t want anyone else to feel the guilt she did. What if she thought that trapping the horrors in the box would just doom everyone into the same cycle. What if she felt she had to break it by bearing the suffering of everyone else. What if Hope tried to convince her that it could be better. What if she wouldn’t save herself. What if Hope had to kill Pandora for a chance to save everyone, including her. What if they both were sealed in the box. What if no one ever knew what happened to them. What if their last words to the world and to each other were “I love you.”

What if the world ending was never Pandora’s fault, but in her guilt and grief she blamed herself for it, and the Hope that voluntarily stayed by her side had to take her life to save it.

What if?

finally watching the lockwood show. george continues to be my favorite character

what hobbies do you think cosmos has? & do you think they change pre/post war? (just realized this is formatted like a test question lol sorry)

I think Cosmos would absolutely love collecting stuff. Not necessarily in a this-thing-is-valuable kinda way, more like hey guys look at this cool rock I found kinda way. He loves collecting stuff from different cultures and civilizations he comes across in his travels. He also likes to collect things for other people like music for Jazz and Blaster and samples for Perceptor. He’s the kind of guy to give something to someone and go “here, this reminded me of you”.

Cosmos also enjoys puzzles! He’s very good at them because he does them when he’s bored in space.

And music. He loves music a lot, he likes singing but unfortunately cannot dance in gravity. He can groove in space, though.

During the war, Cosmos was constantly in space on missions that prevent him from doing stuff that he liked, so he kinda fell out of a lot of stuff he enjoyed. Post-war when he finds himself on the sanctuary station, after realizing that Soundwave isn’t going to send him on constant stressful and back breaking missions, he is able to revisit his old hobbies and get back into doing stuff he finds fun!

For some hcs, Cosmos is pretty good at fixing stuff up! He’s no Wheeljack, but he can figure out how to fix a busted machine if he works at it enough. He does fix stuff like Wheeljack, though, all patch-work like with some zip-ties and duct tape. It doesn’t have to be pretty as long as it works. He’s a crafty little thing—it is a helpful skill to have when you’re alone in space with limited resources and need something fixed fast.

Cosmos has REALLY good memory. Like amazingly good memory. He can remember things about people that is said in passing (makes him a good spy/reconnaissance man) as well as proper behaviors and traditions in certain cultures. The only issue is that sometimes he mixes stuff up and can’t remember what tradition belongs to what culture.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE ASKS THIS WAS SO FUN EHE!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🛸🛸

so Felix is my least favorite of the love interests (not hard to have a least favorite when it’s a 1/3 chance to be a favorite tbh sorry Felix) but I’ve been thinking about him a lot lately and like. more specifically about his death

like do you think that had more lasting impacts on him that he wasn’t aware of. do you think his neck ever ached in a way that was familiar but he couldn’t quite put a finger on it. if every “death” and near death afterwards brought back to the place after death that I can’t remember the name of (haven’t played his route in two years, gimme a break) and it felt. oddly familiar every time and he wasn’t quite sure why. do you think he still dreamed of dying and couldn’t seem to figure out why it felt so real.

just. Felix’s fucking death, man.

hi! hope you have a good day! this is very random, but in one of your recent post about an enemies-to-lovers ship, you talked about wanting your ship to be "weirdly existential" in your tags.... i'm kinda curious, what do you mean, by that?

-sincerely, a curious, fellow enemies-to-lovers liker

means if their hatred for each other isn’t born out of something so personal it leaches into their sense of self and they don’t keep being funny (slightly murderous) forever ion want it. they gotta be mutually destructive they gotta have that same ends of a magnet swag. their relationship going both ways has to have teeth. they gotta be like. if I accept this thing about this guy I have to accept it about myself and I can’t do that because it sucks so bad

I’m trying to enter a “thoughtfully messaging people” era. so if I see something that reminds me of someone? i’m sending it to them. miss talking with someone? i’m messaging them. just want someone to know i’m thinking of them? i’m telling them that.

best case, it makes their day or it starts a conversation. worst case, they don’t respond… so i’d say those are pretty good odds.
