7, 8, 23 for Twitch and Grace

7. How often do they see each other? Where do they usually meet?

discounting the first phase where they really didn't get along that well, they are around eachother So Much. they're on twitch's ship most of the time,so there's not much escape from eachother in such a small space

plus grace had no other neath connections for a long time so he'd just. follow twitch like a lost puppy if he was onboard bc he didn't know what else to do with himself. and twitch didn't mind the extra company, their crew doesn't want to talk 24/7. they get bored!

it was a gradual change over Years, but eventually it felt weirder Not having eachother around. so now they're a package deal, and it happened so slowly they didn't realise til it was too late. oops?

8. How do they communicate with each other? Are there any recurring phrases or gestures unique to their relationship?

they don't<3 communication issues gang rise up!!!!!

they do get a little better, with a lot of time and a lot of fuck ups inbetween. but they're both godawful at it-

for unique things though, i think they're surprisingly good at recognising nonverbal cues from eachother.

grace knows if twitch stumbles a certain way, there's red honey pain setting in and he has to get them out of there Now. twitch knows the Exact way grace gets quiet if he's on the brink of an anxiety attack & how it's not his Usual quiet

they will not talk about things like normal people. but by god will they spend so much time together that it makes them unintentionally read each other, entirely by accident

23. Do they have any mutual friends? Mutual enemies?

well, it's definitely more than Friends but they both have a mutual Indefinable Thing going on with @letheology 's riaan<3

but a few mutual friends too!! you usually won't know one of them without the other bc twitch wants grace to know more people so badly. they Will introduce him to you if they have even the slightest idea that you won't hate him (too bad half of their friends do)

i don't think they have mutual enemies. the new sequence hates them both, if that counts. and they both dislike the masters (& the captivating princess, probably-)

asks from here!

I love Apex because it's like if you put 20 people with life altering (or ending) trauma in a ring and then exacerbated said trauma for entertainment. Love it. 30 hurt/comfort fics on my desk by tomorrow

I've been stewing a little over the last few days about the news regarding the Doctor Who airing times and, although there's been a lot of discourse and probably everything has been said already, I just need to get my rant out there anyway.

For the uninitiated or the unsure, the brief rundown is that new episodes will drop online at the same time worldwide before the BBC 1 broadcast. This will be Fridays 7pm US time (EST I think) and Saturdays midnight in the UK. There will also be the usual Saturday evening broadcast on BBC 1, 18 or 19 hours later. Also, the premiere (10th/11th May) will drop the first two episodes of the series at once.

Simultaneous broadcast is pretty cool, and I believe the 60th specials dropped at the same time as the UK evening broadcast, giving an afternoon time for the US. That's great, but it's really messing with me that this new system completely shafts the UK in terms of viewing times. I'm not saying that only the UK has passionate fans, but I am saying that the UK is where Doctor Who is a cultural institution more so than anywhere else in the world, and seeing it prioritise the US is incredibly frustrating.

Moving to the specific fallout, there's the part of me that is upset on my own behalf, as my autistic self is really struggling with the notion that to watch the show ASAP I will now have to do so at midnight (on a Friday night too!). Since I was 9 in 2005, I have only twice gone to bed with a new episode unwatched. Occasionally that has been at stupid times in the early morning because I've been doing things for Saturday night, but generally I have watched the broadcast as much as possible, and often with other people as a community event. As a child it was always with my dad; as an adult it's often with friends!

Ultimately, though, I'll be fine. I'll watch by myself on iplayer at midnight because I am an adult who can make these choices, even if I'm sad that I probably won't get to have the viewing parties I had started to have with friends in recent years. (Though, who knows, we all have weird sleep schedules. Maybe midnight viewing parties are still on the cards.)

However, for all the kids out there I am so incredibly annoyed. I can't imagine if any of the iconic episodes from my childhood had aired the night before and I'd been unable to stay up for them. Blink? The Stolen Earth? Doomsday? I don't wish to overstate the matter, but I truly believe Doctor Who has remained such a cultural institution precisely because of its status as a family show. People are raised on it and then raise their kids on it and so on.

What are kids going to do now? Some might be allowed to stay up for the midnight release, though not many, especially for that double release which will end at like 1:30am. Others might watch it when they get up, but likely without the community aspect of the whole family sitting down for it. Still others might wait for the Saturday evening broadcast, having to dodge spoilers from other kids and adults as they go about whatever Saturday activities they have.

Regarding spoilers, I've seen some snarky comments saying 'just avoid social media lol', but firstly that's quite difficult in this day and age, and secondly it's not just social media. For one, there are all the tabloids that will plaster any new details across the front page, but also I can vividly remember talking about the brand new Doctor Who episodes at school, and how big an aspect that was of the community excitement. My teacher even did an impression of a weeping angel the week Blink aired, moving closer with a scary face when I looked away for a moment. Sure, there won't be school on a Saturday, but plenty of kids will be doing activities with other kids (dance classes, football, drama clubs etc.). What will happen when some kids have been allowed to watch the new episode and others haven't?

It may seem trivial to some, but I don't think it is. Where's the event aspect of it? Where's the community? Sure, I'm biased as an autistic Brit who grew up with the show and doesn't like change, but this new model seems designed to dilute both the excitement and importance of a new Doctor Who episode on a cultural level.

(mgv) when adam goes into labor with his and lawrence's pup, he's sent into one of the worst panic attacks he's had in months. he had managed all other appointments beforehand well enough but when the time finally comes, he totally freaks out, remembering how awful it was to be there after the trap, his only visitor having been scott of all people -- whatever frail hope he had of the alpha being even remotely kind to him after everything was dashed within minutes. his instincts are screaming at him to hole up at home, burrow into every blanket and towel and bathroom rug they have, and just pup there. lawrence, who is alarmed but not surprised that adam tries to convince him to let them stay home, realizes very quick that he has to maintain composure if he wants to get through to adam when he's like this.

"don't make me go back there, lawrence," adam had sobbed, "please, i can't-- i can't do it--"

and lawrence holds him as close as he can, forcing his own feelings (sympathy, excitement, nervousness) down long enough to push soothing notes into his scent. "breathe, sweetheart. you can do this. you made it out of that hellhole scared, i promise this will be so much easier than that. you're so brave, adam. you might not think so right now but you are. i'll be right beside you the whole time. you can do this."

luckily lawrence had the foresight to bring their hospital bag out to the car days ago because when adam does calm down enough to follow lawrence's lead, their steps are unsteady, both of them off-balance.

the trip itself is a quieter affair. adam is still panicking, one arm locked with lawrence's and the other wrapped around himself to try to find relief. he almost wants to spring from the car even though they're making good time -- it's an ungodly hour so traffic isn't as bad as it could be.

then lawrence speaks up. "almost there, sweetheart, just a bit longer." and adam whines because he's doing his best, but when he looks over he finds lawrence glancing at his belly instead of him. "we can't wait to meet you."

he was talking to their pup.

*tries to write a post about the last 60th Anniversary special*

*is too overwhelmed with Feelings to string two words together in a coherent manner*

... anyway thank you RTD for reconciling me with the entire concept of found family after fandom at large tried its best to sour it and poison it in so many different ways.

*whipes tears away, still smiling and a bit dazed*

Changed my mind, deleted my post, I've decided to abandon the self doubt and ascend to fully realized self indulgence with my Yingxing fic

In the end I'm first and foremost writing this fic for Me. I can include the hcs I want, all the comfort ideas that I want, and whatever else I want to plan!

I can't doubt myself, I must simply be like Yingxing and embrace his attitude to do as I please with confident to rival even the High Elder

Oh Wolf — Goddamn. I've always had it in my head that Chloe punches way above her weight because she just wants to feel something, that song fits this perfectly. She can bark AND she can bite but she'd never do the latter except if she had to. Music vid hits different in the context of LiS too, if you take the ghost as Rachel (because everybody only gets together at weddings and funerals, and Arcadia Bay ain't exactly the place to hold the former)

Cross My Heart — I love how it could be EITHER about Max or Rachel. As much as Chloe plays at being this lone wolf, I think she wants a pack of people to lean on. The song is like a super casual way of saying “please god save me”. Loving the acoustic guitar paired with the raw vocals because it projects power and hides said cry for help

Tongue Tied — "I loved you then and I love you now" is both Chloe on Monday and Max on Loop #576 going on #834.

Cornflower Blue — I keep thinking about E2 and the train, and this quote from Mr. Robot about how “a bullet to the brain is peaceful in its own right”. In that first loop, that train was probably the worst way that Chloe ended up dying, but now it’s like… how much else has she seen, to the point now it's like “as long as I get to love you and have you around, that would not phase me”? And "I want to lay on the kitchen floor with you / I want to do all the things that lovers do" in THIS context? Reads less like "Oh this would be nice", more "I cherish peace with all my heart. I don't care how many men, women, and children I have to kill to get it." Max, you don’t even need therapy at this point, therapy needs to STUDY YOU.

Holy shit, excellent choices. Just found two more for Max now that I’m thinking about it:

Bloody Shirt (Bastille Remix) — To Kill a King (Max Caufield, "light the match and curse my name" era, https://youtu.be/P00kfamddrI?si=zvs7vg2xt4irFxPJ)

The Shepherd's Boy – Murray Gold (if you know, you know, https://youtu.be/fXo47CIUuFg?si=tjpax1QbOvmF1Rf0)

This is fun!

glad i could share the absolute gut punch that is Cornflower Blue with someone bc it Haunts and Torments me <3

tbh the entire second verse wreaks havoc on my brain. like. "the days they fly like trains go by / i'm on my way home to you / and i think about if they ran me down, baby what would you do?" + "in the morning i'll love the mangled bits of you / i'll love you when your lips turn cornflower blue" + "i love you til i wear you out / then i love you more'' oughghghg. tfw you're a creature of desperation & longing and your greatest work of art is suffering untold horror ad nauseam in the name of protecting someone you love <3 as you so wonderfully put it Max doesn't just need therapy anymore therapy needs to study her <3 <3 <3

also "I loved you then and I love you now" is both Chloe on Monday and Max on Loop #576 going on #834. you Get me. you Understand me

also also, real footage of my reaction to seeing The Shepherd's Boy

“Damage?” Simon echoed, pale eyes wide, his usual smile suppressed but lurking just below the surface, ready to spring forward again at a moment’s notice.  The tips of his bony fingers brushed against the corner of Martin’s desk.  “I would hope that I wouldn’t get that from you, of all people.  Really, I’ve done nothing but help you… as well as I can, anyway.”  He couldn’t help his lack of knowledge because everything about the Fears was approximation and guesswork.  They were, by their very natures, utterly incomprehensible.

“I see no reason why we shouldn’t be…”  He trailed off, changing the direction of his sentence because he knew better than to use the f-word in its noun form around someone so heavily entrenched in the Lonely.  “…Friendly,” he rectified, raising his eyebrows.  The corners of his mouth got away from him, and a tiny smile broke through his best efforts.

“Really, I don’t want to hurt you, and you’ve already told me it would be perfectly useless to try.”  Without an exploitable fear of heights, Martin presented Simon with little more than a colossal waste of energy, and he would rather feed the Vast with people who didn’t require as much preparation.

“The way I see it—”  Simon paused, correct himself again.  Conversing with Martin, who came with so many strong biases, was a veritable minefield.  “Well… I must admit that I don’t understand where your profound dislike of me comes from.”  Now, he did allow his grin to overtake him, although he tried to keep it polite, innocent.  Truthfully, he had some inkling about it.  It was a test to see if Martin was still lying to himself about caring for more than a single person.  If Simon could get Martin to admit that anyone other than Jon was barely a blip on his existential radar, well… maybe they would be in business, after all.
