#IM BANGING AT THE WALLS OF MY ENCLOSURE

[borzoilover69]

See whats funny is i see people harping about how DirkJake is "bad" and it sucks because it's.. messy. Its not exactly healthy either. But that's what's so fun about it!! Seeing representation of relationships in a way that strikes true with how most relationships are kinda janked to begin with!! Give me not perfect relationship representation give me mess, I will enjoy it fullheartedly. Its so much more interesting to pick apart and unpack than normal healthy relationships! There is so many ways dirkjake can go and honestly it's fascinating!!

Also not to mention the "fucked up red string of fate" thing they have going for each other. That's so nuts. They're like soulmates, but it doesn't mean they're necessarily compatible, doesn't mean they're necessarily going to get along, just that they're basically stuck together like some horrid prank.

Not to mention the very fact that Jakes planet has the word soul, depicted as x or chi from platos timaeus LITERALLY CARVED INTO HIS PLANET.

I cannot express how absolutely NUTS it makes me. Hey what if we both had planets. And mine had a reference to you carved into it. What if even in trying to escape you when i was in peril i believed in you so much, i actualised a version of you i keep in my head to fight for me. What if our planets collided into each other. What if you had to watch that happen. Hey. Are you listening.

❛   perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.  ❜  

@vulpesse left a message !

sure. technically she could leave it all behind. Jump to any which universe, make any such life for herself with whoever she wanted. to take the arachnid-shaped titanium device in her hand and make like kierkegaard and leap into a perfect reality. most, probably would. and technically she still could.

she could leap into a world where all her wrongs were righted. she could turn back the clock to a time when peter was alive and harvey was still around. back to a time when the most perilous challenge they faced was making an acrobatic skill check in their d&d campaign. no masks, no codenames, no running. she could be gwen stacy again.

but she couldn’t && wouldn't. it would be simulacrum. those lives weren’t hers to live, not her choices to make - not her worlds. she wouldn’t paste images of other gwen’s lives over the scars of her own. all her suffering & struggle had amounted to something - worked towards some goal. though ambiguous ( lofty ideals such as duty, justice, and simply doing the right thing ). she couldn’t just walk away from it all. not when she was needed, not when she was relied upon. not after all she had done, all she had caused. no more running, no more masks. it was time for gwen stacy to live, for once. and live with all that life includes - suffering & bliss. 

〝  you’re right. i used to wish i could just run away from all the bad. leave everything behind and just be “normal” again - just be gwen again. but i realized there was a place for me, and people that root for me — people that rely on me. and maybe i’m not the best at it, but i couldn’t walk away without knowing i had the power to do something and just gave up.〞

she’d ponder a moment, feeling a strange bit of relief that she was able to air that resolution out without feeling any sort of fear or regret. normally, she’d’ve kept that bottled up but after the past month, she’d been through she felt someone needed to hear it. or at least, humor it

A linguistic analysis of tumblr hyperbole in the tags

This post expands my previous analysis of hyperbolic reactions to cluster tags by themes. There were too many themes, some of them overlapping, to create a cohesive graph. Instead, I present several overarching themes from a data set of 50 tags observed and documented in various corners of tumblr.

1. Feeling Normal™️

Tags within this cluster profess Normal feelings (read: extreme excitement, enthusiasm, obsession, derangement, etc.).

#mmmmrrrghuhhhhghhh #I'm so normal about it teehee #absolutely not rending my clothing #feeling very normal and not feral at all #i will simply never recover #gif sets sent to personally destroy me #i can't cope #the eyes #i'm a puddle #i am INCONSOLABLE #i am DISTRAUGHT #IM NOT OKKAAAAAAYYYYYY #FEELING TOTALLY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT NORMAL

2. Feralness

The following data points conjure animalistic behavior. There’s a non-zero amount of biting and chewing involved.

#chomping biting barking #biting my arms off #rattling my cage #[incoherent biting noises] #chewing glass #chewing through wood #*shaking the bars of my enclosure* HELLO!!!!!!!! #climbing the walls #biting gnawing chewing #im gonna rip off my front door and eat it

3. Noisy Emotional Outbursts

These tags encompass crying, screaming, yelling, and other loud reactions.

# shaking sobbing crying #SCREAMIIIING BANGING MY HEAD ON THE WALL #*no thoughts only wailing* #i am SOBBING #IM CRYING LIKE A BITCH #*just fucking yelling* #S C R E A M #screeching into a pillow #brb sobbing for 5-7 business years

4. Throwing

All of these tags except the last one involve being thrown instead of throwing things. I, personally, am entertained by the range of places/situations people are throwing themselves into.

#i am going to THROW MYSELF into the SEA #hurl me into the sea #hurl me into the sun #trebuchet me into the sun #hurl me straight at europa #vent me out of an airlock #slam me against a wall #put me in a box and throw me down the stairs #throwing myself into traffic you know? #just defenestrate me already #defenestrate me #absolutely hurl me through plate glass #i'm going to start tossing furniture

5. Bodily Harm

There’s a good deal of overlap with the previous theme. Nearly all of the tags involving throwing would result in varying degrees of bodily harm. Here are the tags outside of the Throwing subgroup.  

#im going to throw upppppp #tearing my hair out #banging my head against the wall #SCREAMIIIING BANGING MY HEAD ON THE WALL #biting my arms off #microwaving myself #crumple me up and microwave me

6. Absurdism

My personal favorite cluster. The imagery conjured and resulting comedic hyperbole is just [chef’s kiss].

#im gonna rip off my front door and eat it #crumple me up and microwave me #put me in a box and throw me down the stairs #defenestrate me #absolutely hurl me through plate glass

7. Keysmashes

These tags center less around meaning and more around style, so they form the last group. A handful of these could fall under Noisy Emotional Outbursts because they represent reaction noises. In my linguistic judgment, keysmashing increases the hyperbole – consider augh versus aughfhghghghhh – the latter reads as prolonged and more intense emotionally.

#aghdjakgsjadhjaka * #hrhrhrhgnnnghhhhh #aughfhghghghhh #mmmmrrrghuhhhhghhh #I'm so normal about it teehee #waughfhghghh #oughhhhghghhh

*one digression in a friend discord server was how people interpret keysmashes in their minds. Some hear the first couple letters and then some sputtering, others hear static. It’s a common joke that you need a minor in linguistics to understand conversations in this friend group. Such is the nature of things when the chaos linguist energy is strong.

🎉 5,000 Likes?! What the hell you guys 😭🖤

I’ve only been here for a few weeks, still learning what the hell a dashboard even is — and somehow you’ve already:

➤ read my emotional damage ➤ screamed in the tags ➤ and made me feel like I’m writing for real, breathing people

So THANK YOU. Sincerely. For reading, reblogging, crying, and making me feel like I’m not screaming into the void.

Your reactions charge me up like a caffeine IV drip — seriously, it’s wild how much your support inspires me. There will be a longer fic (yes, yes, a maxi-story is coming 👀) There will be regular drabbles and one-shots.

And I’d absolutely love to hear your ideas — little scenarios, unhinged headcanons, painful “what if”s — if you ever wondered how the LaDS would react to X, you know where to find me 😌

To celebrate — here’s a chaotic little selection of tags and reblog comments that now live rent-free in my brain:

💋 "Show Me, Don’t Tell Me, or How good are you in sex?"

💥 “Six Days and One Heart Too Late”
