#I sent a dry

[heythered3lilahsblog]

I finally did it. Wrote 3 long pages for this friend who's practically family (or at least that's what I like to think) but now that it's their birthday, im freaking out. Took a lot of guts for a scaredy-cat like me to spill my heart out like this. And now, im too nervous to actually hand it over. What if they read it in front of everyone? (or even just in front of me? shoot, pls im not ready for that kind of stuff) ive poured out stuff ive never even said out loud. Holding those pages, my palms are sweaty, and my vision's blurry from the tears. I can't even breathe right. How am I supposed to face them after giving this? im tempted to just rip it all up, but part of me wants them to know, even if it terrifies me.

Henry thinks that maybe, just maybe, if he keeps his hands where they are, Alex might not bleed out - and the thought that he's the only thing standing between this man and the collapse of Henry's own universe is absolutely fucking *terrifying.*

Henry thinks that maybe, just maybe, if he keeps his hands where they are, Alex might not bleed out—and the thought that he's the only thing standing between this man and the collapse of Henry's own universe is absolutely fucking terrifying. Alex’s breaths are short and choppy under Henry’s palms, but that devastating grin, the one that knocked Henry’s knees out from underneath him the first time they met, is still firmly in place, albeit a little more tremulous than usual.

“Damn, H—don’t you think you should buy a guy dinner before you feel him up?”

And that’s—that’s almost too much for Henry to bear. How Alex can be teasing him at a time like this, let alone about the feelings Henry has worked so hard to keep hidden from the man whose blood is currently covering Henry’s hands to the wrist, Henry cannot possibly understand; except that, when he risks another glance at Alex’s face, there’s a flicker of vulnerability in his wide, brown eyes that Henry knows, instinctively, can only mean Alex is, for once in his life, achingly sincere.

“How about we save your life first and then dinner, shall we, darling?”

Hello I wanted to talk about mc magic in lesson 53 they said this about mc magic.

Mephistopheles: When you intervened to protect Simeon, you cast that spell without any sort of incantation.

Lucifer: If not, then it means that the magic you produced was involuntary.

Diavolo: No. If the spell was involuntary, it means the magic is uncontrolled, you see.

But isn’t this a contradiction to what lucifer taught in season 2 lesson 24 of NB?

Yeah, it's said by both Lucifer and Solomon that if a human/demon is skilled enough, they don't need incantations to use magic.

But I think the way this is different from what happened when MC saved Simeon was that they didn't mean to use magic at all. Like, usually when MC is going to use magic the dialogue options are something along the lines of "use [certain spell]" "do [certain action] with magic" but this time the dialogue options were to either yell out his name or warn him about the attack, meaning that MC's magic manifested itself without any previous intention from them to use it?

Which is similar to what happened in s2, except that this time around their magic acted up on it's own and protected someone instead of causing harm, coming from their worry for Simeon's safety. So MC is unconsciously using magic based off strong emotions they feel and they need to learn to control their powers to avoid causing harm again like in previous seasons.

I guess that the Ring of Light only stabilizes their powers to a point, and MC's magic can still get out of hand if the situation is dire enough?

i fucking love prereading. getting documents about what's going to be discussed in a meeting and reading them and then going to the meeting and having context for all the things that are happening. if i could do this in all areas of life i would. send me a list of the words i'm going to need the definition of in order to understand what you will be talking about. give me a rundown of what topics might come up during this social encounter. provide detailed documentation of what to expect in a new setting. i will read the fuck out of that shit.

just try to calm down, Lee. Maybe call one of your brothers?

(I’m turning my emotional breakdown through her into plot development/ a character introduction. It’s how I cope)

Finales for Michael + Claire

Yo - someone has already broken down that the last/second-last images in each season finale were basically the same, right?

At any rate, I'm going do it again, because my tiny brain only mashed these two things together today. Apologies for the lack of stills.

We have flashback Mikey looking at Carmen reverently in sunlight-sepia hues at the close of season 1, then a big smile, hot on the heels of Carmy genuinely connecting with everyone at family meal - it lets Mikey's belief in his brother linger over the finale, a sense of continuation and partial closure.

The quixotic part of Radiohead's Letdown blasts us off to the credits. IMO, it was one of the most hopeful and tenderhearted moments in TV history.

In the season 2 finale we have flashback Claire, sepia-hued with her coy smile immediately cutting to a dejected Carmy in the walk-in as the welder creates "fireworks" akin to what we see behind them in Pop. There's a sense of continuation, but no closure - it just tells the audience to settle in for more regression in S3, just as we thought we were out of the woods with that experiment.

Michael Stipe walks us out with "Go it alone and haul it along" before it cuts to Syd, proud and abandoned, the song progressing into the credits.

I always felt like that last, longing look from Claire was the biggest crotch-kick from the Storer universe - it felt like an erasure of all the progress and connecting-of-dots that Carmy was working out throughout the latter half of the season, and I guess that's the material point of it all.

Maybe we have to watch this man chase familial myths and phantoms for another season, to the detriment of The Bear, his happiness, his earnest relationship with Syd, and everyone else around him. I'm not sure if he'll actually try to repair things with Claire in a fit of desperation/self-doubt, but it seems like she'll haunt him through his inevitable breakdown at a minimum.

I'm curious about how the writers engineer this without the audience feeling perpetually flogged. I also wonder how they will manage to empower Syd until Carmy starts putting shit together again.

I wish I had more endearing sydcarmy parallels to offer here tonight, but this was eating at me and now someone in the fandom needs to talk me off a ledge.

[unheavenlybody]

desperately trying to adapt my mindset so that instead of worrying that someone is secretly mad at me/hates me/that i've inadvertently done something wrong i just let it go. cuz logically if they're not willing to clearly communicate that i've upset them then it's not my problem & i can't dwell on it... and i could actually just be stressing over nothing... that would be the healthy thing to do wouldn't it??? but unfortunately i'm failing LMAO send help

For the word game: style and/or happen and/or down

style, from the aro buck 911 fic, "never been in love"

It’s a basic information page, kind of a 101-style set of definitions from a website about different orientations. The top of the page informs the reader that it is explaining to them what ‘aromantic’ means. Buck swallows hard and scrolls a little, taking in a few words at a time. It’s a little difficult to process, because his vision seems to be fuzzing a little, static building in his ears and his heart pounding in his chest.

happen, also from "never been in love" but a little earlier on

“She keeps getting on me about my girlfriend.” He makes a face, then amends the statement. “Well, getting on me about the fact that I don’t have one. She thinks I should be dating somebody, and keeps bringing it up, just over and over. What happened last time I saw Taylor came up, and she just- I don’t know why it’s so important to her that I have a damn girlfriend, you know? And I don’t know how to tell her, at least not in any way that she’s ever going to listen to and leave me alone about, that I just- I don’t want one.”

down, from chapter 10 of "wriggle up on dry land" the baby jamie ted lasso fic

She raises an eyebrow at him, and she shifts in a moment from paging through the paper while sipping her tea and meandering around the table – more fidgety in her down time than just about anyone else Roy has ever known – and then all of her attention is focused on him. It’s amazing how she does that - it’s like in a single moment Roy’s sister switches off and Dr. Kent switches on.
