#I'm deeply sorry for rambling

[redlenai]

... Why I thought, all of a sudden, that Jimmy and Anya are way more similar than we want to admit regarding Curly?

You openly talk about your problem, your crisis, and he just... doesn't properly register it, doesn't react the way you would have liked him to, it is frustrating, Anya wasn't exposed to Curly for a long time nor we were able to see how much she resented him thanks to his inaction and diminishing the problem, but we surely got to see Jimmy's resentment, how many times did he talk about his problems? How many times did Curly hit the guy while he was down (Below him) by focusin on his own problems?

I've noticed two things in the fandom, Jimmy is Irresponsible, while Curly is told he is Selfish. Curly is good keeping appearances, being flirty with Anya with some very cliché one-liners, calm and collected to Swansea, friendly superior to Daisuke, and an understanding supportive friend. It doesn't remove the fact he is an enabler but I wonder, didn't he feel good knowing there was someone doing worse than him? Keeping him close to keeps his own spirits high? Like, it seems Curly has been working for Pony Express for quite a while, why suddently help his friend out to get a job as a Co-Pilot? We're not sure either if Jim had previous experience or if he worked on a different company but same field. While not justifying Jimmy, deep down I wonder if Curly unconsciously enjoyed the fact that Jimmy was having a hard life, would he break down even more now with these crushing and questionable work ethics? With the isolation and silence from Space? Without the only activity that probably allowed him to vent (Weightlifting)? With the stress of knowing that he could get his salary cut down just by daring to sleep more than 4 hours?

But hey, Jim should see the bigger picture too, there is a routine, there is a roof on top of his head, 4 hours of sleep is better than no sleep at all, the same meals over and over, but still better than nothing, at least working, right? Let's see him endure for a whole year, with Jim breaking down bit by bit, wouldn't that also make him feel like an even better Captain? Wouldn't that make him ignore the weight of his responsabilities, make it more bearable knowing someone is having it worse and looking even worse?

It sounds twisted, I know, but we all too deny a few things, push it to the back of our minds, do things unconsciously, relieve ourselves by saying "We could be worse...." when we're unsatisfied with our situation. People are so complex, it sounds twisted but hey, maybe one day we can be transparent, imperfect and honest just like Swansea

I can't stop thinking about how Jimmy would never let Curly forget how fucked up and shitty his life is, and how much better Curly's life is compared to his.

I feel like this is partially why Curly is so close to him. This is his friend and the only person on the ship he feels like he can be honest to because he keeps it real around him. He hears so much about his friend's awful life and so he tries to help him by convincing him to work for the same company he works for.

I wonder how long they were friends for. How good of a friend was Jimmy to notice Curly's mood during the birthday party and check in on him. How many red flags did Curly miss or ignore. How much of it was manipulation, or was any of it manipulation? Curly wasn't stupid. He's flawed and was put in a hard position. There's so much about their relationship that wasn't shown and likely will never be shown and I sit for hours thinking about it.

Victoria, high as a kite on pills and/or alcohol, telling Lochlan to pull his weight and earn some money now that their family is poor. and dear sweet Lochlan, no job experience, raised on social media and the idea that being an influencer is a valid career, decides to get an onlyfans or something similar. and you know what, it works. it gets him some money and so of course he keeps on doing it. becomes more popular, gets more reach.

until one day Saxon, sexually frustrated and trying to blow off some steam, stumbles across Lochy's account (whyever he'd be looking for twink porn ... we'll never know). he throws his tablet aside immediately. picks it up again after staring at the wall for a couple of minutes. jerks off to the stream and comes harder than ever before.

he comes back for more almost every night.

"why are you looking at me like that?" Lochy asks the next time they see each other again.

you curl your toes right before you come, Saxon thinks but doesn't say out loud. patting Lochy's shoulder, he forces himself to smile.

"just missed my little brother, that's all."

buck and eddie's conversation on the fountain in merry ex-mas gets infinitely funnier to me every time it's like: your estranged wife who you're sleeping with on the DL comes to your place of work and announces to your nosiest co-worker and best friend that you can't talk without fucking, your platonic male bestie ✨ is absurdly quiet about the whole situation which is very uncharacteristic of him so you invite him to bring your son to a mall santa whilst wondering if you can ever trust your wife with your son again, once said child is out of hearing distance you bring up your bestie's silence, bestie replies that it's none of his business and you agree in a way that sounds like you're begging him to question every life decision you've ever made before immediately launching into a full explanation of the situation despite no homo bro sitting there awkwardly listening after doing the absolute Most to avoid this conversation because he's been talking about the situation with his future brother-in-law whilst christmas tree shopping, then he commiserates with you about the never-ending complications of sex with women, both of you are exactly three seconds away from wondering aloud whether sex with men is simpler, but then your son returns from santa's village with an elf who will tell your work husband that the two of you have an adorable son and he will skip away without denying this. just normal best friend things <3

Zelinkers on here will meticulously go through "evidence" of their ship's canonicity with a fine tooth comb and write thesis level analysis essays about it.

Then they see the school and Zelda's diary and go "Ooo she has baby fever ooo she wants kids" and think no further on the implications of Zelda becoming a teacher based on her own childhood and the calamity.

Head in my hands. Groaning in agony. Etc.

Y'all ever look back and realize your least fav character in your fav show was actually the one most painfully similar to who you were when you first watched it

[silenzahra]

Hey Zahra! I know I haven’t read every fic of yours yet but from the ones I did I thiiink I gotta go with “Biggest Fears”, “Keeping him warm” and “Anything for him”.

Love, love the part in “Anything for him” where Mario brings Luigi back. It was such a heartwarming moment. Also, loooooooove that Mario jumped out of the painting to protect Luigi but also at the end when Luigi realised that Mario was scared that he returned the favour.

That being said, yes, I love protective Mario, so “Keeping him warm” was an obvious choice as well hehe.

“Biggest fears” what can I say? Vulnerable Mario with Luigi comforting him is my absolute jam. The comfort in this one was one of the sweetest I have ever read. I really love it so much.

I’m so glad I got to meet you here and I’m so glad we became friends. I know I’ve said it before, but you are one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever met.

I love you (platonically)! <3<3<3

OMG Stripet!!! 😭😭😭 YOU'RE SO SWEET WAAAAAAHHH. First of all I'm so sorry for my late reply, but please know that your ask has made me incredibly happy and put the biggest smile on my face 🥹🥹🥹 Thank you SO MUCH, dear friend 🫂🫂🫂

I'm so happy and honored to know that these are your favorite fics of mine!! OMG, I swear reading about yor favorite parts of "Anything for him" has brought back so many memories of the time when I was working on it and how much I LOVED writing precisely those scenes!! 🥹🥹🥹 Mario being so worried about Luigi that his love for him literally made him jump out of the painting despite King Boo's magic, oh gosh, how I ENJOYED writing that 😍😍😍

As well as the entire chapter 3! Awww I'm so glad that you loved the moment of Mario bringing Luigi back so much 🥹🥹🥹 And of course, Luigi would also do anything for Mario, especially seeing him so scared of King Boo which is a personal headcanon of mine (I believe Mario would be at least a little bit scared of King Boo at first, since he couldn't fight him on his own as he didn't have the Poltergust 3000). The title "Anything for him" can be read in both directions and I wanted to make that clear in this fic as both brothers literally do anything to protect each other 🥹❤️💚

Anyways, sorry for the rambling 😅 Your words really brought me back to that time and I love it!! And I'm beyond honored that you love this fic and these specific scenes so so much, dear friend 🥰🥰 Thank you so much for letting me know!! 💖💖💖

Hehe, I'm a big fan of protective Mario as well, so it makes me so happy you also love "Keeping you warm"!! 🥰🥰 This fic has gained so much relevance lately as it's received not just one but two amazing fanarts that I just LOVE so much, and I'm over the moon because it's also one that I just LOVED writing 🥹🥹 I'm so honored and grateful and ELATED that it's among your favorites!! 🫂🫂🫂

And gosh, "Biggest fear" has also been getting so much love lately, and again I owe it to the amazing fanart it's gotten 😭😭😭 That one literally made me cry while I was working on it, my friend. I remember needing to take some moments here and there while editing it because I was moved 🥲🥲🥲 So, seriously, knowing that you love it so much and that you find the comfort so sweet here means the entire freaking world to me. I can never thank you enough for your support and love to this fic and it makes me so happy that you enjoyed it so much 🫂🫂🫂

Awwww Stripet 😭😭🫂🫂 I'm also so so glad that we met and became friends!!! Gosh, I'm just so lucky and blessed, and I thank life every day that I met you 🫂🫂🫂 You're so sweet and kind, and I also can't get tired of repeating it over and over again 💖💖💖

Thank you so so SO much for this ask, and for your support, and, just, for being you. I also love you (platonically) very very much!!! 🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖

sleepover saturday 🥳🥳🥳

what you’ve been meaning to read and what you order at the movie theater!!

hiiiii vivi ty for the ask!! 🥹💖

for what I mean to read: I got some books here at home I bought last year but still didn't read! first on the list is poppy wars that I'm reading next, but also I got blood meridian and the other black girl! I also had a very pretty and illustrated edition of g*od om*ns I bought mooooonths ago but after all the horrible shit that came out from that man I lost every will to read it :(

for the future I want to get nickel boys (the movie was so good, it sparked my interest), violeta and la casa de los espiritus (both by isabel allende), and some popular brazilian books around here such as torto arado and cabeça do santo!

for the movie theater, I prefer going to a convenience store and buying snacks, but since I go a lot to the movie theater and doing this every time would make it too expensive, I usually bring popcorn from home (one salty with butter, the other sweet) because I really just go with the money of the ticket and the bus! the only thing I buy there is soda! ^^

Since I had someone follow me just now I would like to make a quick note:

YOU want canon superbat because you want to see them kiss. I want canon superbat in order to force Jon and Damian into a belligerent step siblings dynamic, ala Drake & Josh. We are not the same ///j
