but how did the walrus knock

[lilacgaby]

katsuki was red-faced and drunk as hell.

he could barely keep himself up straight, leaning against the wall of the curb that he sat on as midoriya waved to you. "thanks for coming, he wouldn't stop asking for you."

"don't talk about me like that.. damn nerd." katsuki slurred, pointing a threatening finger. in the wrong direction. midoriya laughed quietly, signaling goodbye to you as he took his leave.

"kat," you started, smiling at the pink flush of his cheeks, trying to place a coddling hand on his face but were stopped by him smacking your hand away. "what was that for?!"

"don't touch me! 'got my girl at home." he glared at you from the side, then shut his eyes and turned his face away with a small 'hmmph.'

you laughed, crossing your arms as you decided to play along. "really? but aren't i prettier?" he scoffed, red eyes not even bothering to look at you as he quipped, "fuck no. 's not even a competition. you'll be embarrassed you even-," he hiccuped, "said that shit when she gets here."

you gasp in mock offense, leaning down with a hand over your chest. "that's so rude! are you sure you don't wanna take a closer look?"

"get out of my--" his glazed eyes opened to glare at you once again, but his words got stuck in his throat as he looked you over. your streetlit features took a second to register in his mind, before a small, closed eye smile came over his face. "hey.. babe you got here." he said lowly after a moment. he grabbed one of your hands and held it up to his face, "missed 'ya. some fuckin' idiot was here earlier. so annoying."

"oh yeah? what'd they say?"

"i don't even remember." he started to fall asleep, but you hurriedly helped him up to the car first. he started sleepily muttering things to you as you buckled him in. "y'know you're the damn prettiest.. and the sweetest thing i've known.."

compared to how he was normally, he just wouldn't stop talking. not like you minded though, it was really feeding your ego to have him call you things like the most beautiful girl in the world.

as you helped him to bed, helping him change out of the clothes he'd wore in the bar first, you were cut off by him pulling you into bed beside him, caging you in his arms as he put his head on top of yours.

"stay." is all he said before he knocked out. but you did stay, not like you could've ran away from the tightened arms around you anyways.

I did a post asking about this ages ago, but now that there's polls, I'd like to do another round for this question, since it always has me curious:

Also, I am not including stuff like "I just stay up thinking about things that make me anxious", since this is specifically about things that help you sleep, not things that keep you up!

Just curious how widespread this practice is!

I AM INVESTED IN THIS AND HAVE THOUGHTS-

Okay so like. There’s many ways this can be interpreted. Is Wally actually being slower? Or is he actually processing things faster which makes him feel like he’s going slower? Is Danny doing stuff to the Speed Force or becoming the Speed Force or fueling a spatial aspect of the Speed Force? Is Danny and the Speed Force just indefinitely making each other more powerful over time? How does Wally find out or meet him? Is it even Danny we’re talking about here? It could easily be Dan and/or Ellie as well!

But, personally? I like to think that the Speed Force used to have an ancient. Yet that ancient faded away, and now the Speed Force has been left to sap off of the Ancient of Time. Twisting its abilities into something more unstable. Hence the fucking up of time. Danny, as Clockwork’s mentee and a budding ancient, is slowly becoming the Speed Force’s new attachment, and since his concept and role as an ancient isn’t defined yet? Yeah, yeah. The Speed Force is gonna latch onto him. All this weirdness going on to the speedsters, and specifically with Wally (the most connected to the Speed Force, if I remember correctly), is because the Speed Force is finally stabilizing again after so long. It’ll take time for the speedsters to realize that the Speed Force is healing, that the buzzing of a new awareness of something is fine, and that this parasite isn’t a parasite. But Wally? Wally is most connected. He might even feel a pull towards wherever Danny is.

And Danny? Probably doesn’t realize what’s happening until he can start precisely saying where and WHEN the speedsters are. Can feel WHO they are. Can feel them to varying strengths. Can feel that he can take their connection to the Speed Force, to him, away. Or give someone the connection. Can feel the Speed Force’s desire to connect to something, someone, for even an ounce of stability. And he’s left to know that he can get rid of his own connection to it before it’s too late to do so. But he could also use this to… monitor the speedsters, stabilize the Speed Force, prevent universe ending time fuck ups. He could. He really could. Maybe he should… spend time with the one he can most clearly feel, for advice, maybe help in deciding what to do? It’s not like they’ll be able to lie to each other at this point with how connected Wally is to the Speed Force and how far along Danny is to becoming the Speed Force.

Danny did not account for them getting side tracked in scientifically figuring out how Danny stabilizing and becoming the Speed Force is changing it (and him). It’s kinda hilarious to watch the spatial and temporal aspects growing to balance each other out. And watching Wally accidentally fling himself too far with the spatial aspect of the Speed Force catching up to the temporal.

Side note 1: the reason why Danny doesn’t just take the Speed Force from the villainous speedsters is because he can see a purpose in having them {via Clockwork telling him future stuff}. They have a function of helping strengthen the heroic speedsters’ connection to the Speed Force and their resolve. This also means- though- that Danny absolutely shows favoritism. Helping his favored ones out in sticky situations.

Side Note 2: Fenton Luck is now becoming apart of the Speed Force.

Side Note 3: I’d love both queerplatonic and romantic routes for Danny/Wally. We need more of these two. I’m expressly saying that Danny’s absolute favorite who gets the most favoritism from him is Wally.

Side Note 4: I only realized after writing side note 3 that Danny is basically being a sugar daddy. I stand by it, but I need people to realize that that wasn’t my original intention when writing that note. Just a… pleasant oopsie.

Short DPXDC Prompts #886

Wally has some trouble figuring out why he’s been slower than normal. He thinks there’s a new speedster somewhere but it doesn’t feel like a new speedster. It feels more like a parasite. But a symbiotic one, that both benefits the speedforce and itself. He’s much more refreshed every day he wakes up and feels a strange sense of purpose now. He didn’t expect that parasite to be the mentee of the physical embodiment of time.

Teyvat's "Most Down Bad" Award Goes to Alhaitham for a Second Year Running

Seeing everyone making fun of Alhaitham for his "stalkerish" tendencies in this event is funny, because I feel like a lot of people missed that "Be literally everywhere Kaveh is" has been Alhaitham's MO from the day Kaveh appeared in the game.

From only grabbing his house keys after Kaveh returned from the desert (he couldn't have had both sets of keys at the end of the Archon Quest unless he went home and got Kaveh's copy) to ditching conversations to get back to his house only after Kaveh came home, to showing up without any warning or explanation in Kaveh's hangout with some ridiculous excuse about hearing his voice through noise-cancelling headphones... Refusing to offer any help in the Temple of Silence story quest other than staying in the library with Kaveh...

Since when does Alhaitham willingly cover anyone else's duties?

But this trend of "Be everywhere Kaveh is" didn't start when they were adults. It was already in place when they were still Akademiya students--and it's a trend that didn't end even when they had their fight.

Even when they weren't speaking, Alhaitham dogged Kaveh's every step through published responses to Kaveh's research articles in academic journals. He insisted on keeping a line of communication between himself and Kaveh open, even if the only way to do that was through very public ideological clashes. Pulling Kaveh's pigtails to get his attention lolol. It's implied that, for at least the few years between their fight and Kaveh moving in, this was the only communication between them--Alhaitham's refusal to allow their connection to entirely fade away. (And the fact that this is revealed in Kaveh's character stories--through his precious journal that records the moments of his life that had the most impact on him--shows just how deeply he values the fact that Alhaitham didn't give up.)

Another relevant side note: Alhaitham never asked Kaveh to give up his half of their house. Knowing half of it belonged to Kaveh, knowing that Kaveh may one day want to reclaim his part of it, knowing that it was listed as theirs, Alhaitham moved into the house and made zero effort to change its ownership. He was completely fine with living in "his and Kaveh's house." The stories suggest it was only months later (or even longer) that Kaveh even noticed he had the house, and he transferred away ownership of his portion without Alhaitham ever asking him (or even seemingly wanting him) to do so.

Please, let that sink in. Alhaitham actively left his grandmother's (presumably comfortable) house to move into "his and Kaveh's house," with no apparent explanation for why, and after doing so, he made no attempt to change that "his and Kaveh's" label. He moved into the house with no promise that Kaveh wouldn't show up on the doorstep the very next day and move in too. It almost feels like another deliberate provocation--I've moved into our house, are you going to come stop me? LBR, if Alhaitham had had his way, Kaveh would have been living there with him from Day 1...

There's also the fact that Kaveh literally can't write on a single message board anywhere in the entire nation of Sumeru without Alhaitham hunting his messages down and responding to them (which absolutely no one else does, by the way).

"NUH-UH!" "UH-HUH." "NUH-UH!"

Alhaitham's own character stories tell us explicitly that one of Alhaitham's defining character traits is "He is never where you need him to be," yet somehow...

Shot, and chaser:

Any time Kaveh is in the slightest bit of need or danger or just wants Alhaitham near, Alhaitham is "coincidentally" exactly where Kaveh needs him to be, whenever Kaveh needs him to be there.

Alhaitham didn't just "happen" to run into Kaveh in Port Ormos, an entirely different city from where he was supposed to be working. He didn't just "happen" to read the same terrible book as Kaveh when we know he otherwise would not waste a moment of his time on poorly-written literature...

He didn't just "happen" to appear when Kaveh was upset and needed a distraction in the House of Daena during Kaveh's hangout. He didn't just "happen" to be sitting around waiting when Kaveh needed answers after the Archon Quest. He didn't just "happen" to find Kaveh's academic publications and every single message board posting and respond to them at length and in public.

Which is exactly what Kaveh's mother told Kaveh he needed.

What level of down bad is "Abusing your powers as an Akademiya employee to keep tabs on your crush's library loans"? Just asking for a friend.

The only person for whom Alhaitham just "happens" to be available is Kaveh, over and over and over again--because he is very deliberately making himself a constant presence in Kaveh's life.

(Like, out of all things, I think people really underestimate the devs deliberately paralleling the romantic relationship between Kaveh's mother and father with Kaveh and Alhaitham's relationship. If you want to point to one thing that says "These two characters are intentionally queer-coded," it doesn't get any more obvious than this.)

Alhaitham, are you not embarrassed to be this transparent??? 🫣

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.
