look the fact of the matter was George Harrison was definitely even reportedly in love with Bob Dylan for real and true and Bob Dylan was probably in love with George Harrison too even if he was too depressed to notice in the 60s and lost touch with him for a bit in the 70s and then reconnected in the 80s and realized that he would do anything to be around him and to make him smile even if it was hard for him to do because it had been so long since he was comfortable with himself and around other people but once he had that experience he wanted to keep coming back for more for ever and ever and then they probably had gay old man yaoi sex for 10 years and when he lost George he said he was like the sun the flowers and the moon because he was everything to him and those are the kind of things George would have described wonderful things with and he was irreparably changed by him and he lives inside his soul even now.

You Don't Have To Say A Thing

Summary: "I can go back to ignoring you, if you'd rather, Potter. How'd you say it earlier? Hating you?" / "I don't think I would rather that." / You move on, you grow up, you change, but how can you accept those changes when your past haunts you? Do you really have to do it all alone?

Chapter 3: Dinner

Read: ao3

Excerpt:

“Malfoy,” he said quietly, his face next to Draco’s, who startled and gave him a sideways look, before his eyebrows raised. “Busy?” 

“You’re bleeding?” Draco asked instead of answering his question. 

Harry waved his hand on the other side, just in Draco’s line of sight, before asking again, “are you busy?” 

“I…” Draco turned and faced him, scowling, before shutting the book. “No?” 

“C’mon,” Harry answered, and pulled back, sliding out of the booth he had slid into. Draco watched him, before taking in the seating arrangement. 

Fucking idiot, he groaned, and gave Theo a look, “move.” 

“What?” Theo looked at Draco, then at Dean and Seamus, “shove over,” he sighed, giving them a wave. 

Draco, rather impatient, rolled his eyes at their annoyance. Seamus grumbled as he got to his feet, ignoring Dean telling him to calm down. 

“Not sticking around Potter?” Blaise was asking, leaning back as he spoke to the man, standing back a ways.

“No,” Harry looked him over, “have one for me tonight, Zabini.” He used his line from last week, with a grin. 

Blaise chuckled, giving a nod, realizing that Draco had gotten out of the booth. “Well, where are you two headed to?” 

Draco looked at Harry, as he pulled his jacket on, yes, where the fuck are we headed? He thought, watching the man. He figured he owed Harry this moment of trust, since he trusted him last night. 

“Ah,” Harry shrugged, “away. You all be good tonight,” he teased, giving Neville’s shoulders a squeeze. 

Draco felt Blaise staring at him, but refrained from looking, and followed Harry after the man gave him a nod. They walked together, close, their arms practically touching, neither saying a word until Harry took a turn off the path. 

“Where are we going, Potter?” 

“To the forest.”

Draco paused, mid step, standing there and Harry turned around, facing him. “What’s in the forest?” 

“You’ll see,” Harry reached for him, slowly, carefully. Draco watched him moving, his hand stretched between them, and he took a slow breath before reaching out and grasping it. “Trust me, Malfoy?” 

“I’m not sure yet, but I’m pretty well versed in defense. I think I can manage, if needed.” 

Harry smiled, a real wide smile, “don’t think you’ll need any of those defensive charms this evening, Malfoy.” 

“Says you with a busted lip, and a bruised cheek.”

“Ah, I walked into the wrong area while I was out there earlier,” Harry shrugged, “it’s all handled though.” 

Out there earlier? Draco hitched his eyebrow, and dropped Harry’s hand. He grabbed his wand from his pocket and held it up, between them, giving Harry a quick heal. “I’ve never been one for surprises, Potter.” 

“Well,” Harry watched him put his wand away, then took his hand again, “I think… erm, I’m hopeful you’ll like this one.” 

“If I don’t, do I have to pretend I do?” 

“Only if you don’t want my ego bruised.”

do you mean you feel alienated around self diagnosed autistic people? (aka 99% of the online autistic community) because if so I completely agree. I'm not sure if you have access to it but I go to public therapy for disabled adulta (if you're over 18) and in my group there is a bunch of autistic/adhd people. we usually talk about medication, funny stories about therapy and experiences with growing up autistic and such. it's pretty relieving, and completely different from speaking to autistic people online, which just feels like talking to neurotypicals

No I feel alienated around autistic people. And people in general. It's for a lot of reasons tbh, not JUST being autistic, but I've definitely have had grievances with the autistic community online for some time now. This is because there's this prevalent idea that what does or doesn't work for one autistic person must be true for every autistic person, which inevitably leads to alienation. I'm considered weird and offputting even by the standards of other autistic people. This isn't an uncommon experience for me.

Also, part of my alienation comes from the general politics of the online autistic community. I call myself Asperger's and high-functioning, which while I totally get why other people don't call themselves that, it's just kinda what I grew up with and what works for me. Also being trans on top of that, and hearing so many autistic people talk about how they personally don't understand gender, whereas I didn't have much of an issue with it (I view it through a strictly neuroscientific lens; I don't do well with metaphors and vague feelings). Being told I can't say "retarded" even though I've been CALLED retarded, not to mention directly threatened (I was nearly shot lmao) over being autistic. A mixture of oppression olympics among autists, and also 'higher-functioning' autistic people speaking over 'lower-functioning' autistic people. My stims also don't get represented much (I don't really flap, I've always been more of a rocker/bouncer/vocal stimmer) and I don't fit into the "good autist" role that a lot of people-- both neurodivergent and neurotypical-- want out of me. All this to not even mention how I get alienated for my other forms of neurodivergence, with people in general being extremely ableist towards those with OCD and dissociative disorders.

All I'm saying is it's not self-diagnosed autists who make my life harder. Not when me and most of my family has had to resort to self-diagnosis due to doctors not listening to us or just a simple inability to even see a doctor due to a lack of money and time. Actually, most of the people I click with are the self-diagnosed "I think I might be neurodivergent" people-- whether that's autism, ADHD, or some other various neurodivergence. The self-diagnosed people are my immediate family, as well as my friends who had to figure out they're neurodivergent because nobody else told them, or gaslit them over it. We're pro-selfdx here, and honestly therapy is the least of my concerns right now, at least when it comes to autism. I don't need therapy for being autistic. I don't need therapy to teach me how to be normal. I need therapy to teach me how to live. Y'know, tackling my ACTUALLY problematic disorders, like my severe OCD and CPTSD and what I believe to be some form of OSDD. ADHD... yeah I just need meds for that, it is what it is. But I've been in therapy SEVERAL times for my autism, with people who were supposedly specialized in it, and even they didn't really know what to do with me. So shrug lmao.

For the record I am professionally diagnosed with autism. I'm actually self-diagnosed with most of the other mental health issues I occasionally talk about here (ADHD, OCD, OSDD, et cetera). I'd LOVE to get diagnosed but we're just not in a financial situation where we can rn. I don't like throwing self-diagnosed people under the bus-- more often than not they're just trying to understand themselves and genuinely don't have the ability to access proper resources. I don't really think of the cringe "faking disorders for attention and spreading misinformation" people when I hear about self-diagnosis, personally. I think about people who have been gaslit and told either that they're weird/bad children their whole lives, or even the reverse where they're told they're gifted, before they begin to struggle and then are promptly abandoned. I went through the latter more than the former.

I knew U Olga would ruin the story since her ugly clown face appeared in Olympus.

Huge anti U Olga-rant below. 

I don't know what possessed Nasu to think U Olga was a good idea. It's just. Okay, I guess is the BB version of Olga. All CCC villains were kinda gag characters that were cringe as hell, in design and mannerisms (BB, the Egos, Kiara, Eliza), but like... the setting of CCC was more or less unserious from the beginning with the Student Council crap, the bb channels, etc. There were threats, but like the atmosphere of the writing was more outrageous than a mute tragedy. Cosmos in the Lostbelt was, meanwhile, a bittersweet story where Guda's and Mash's fighting for survival leads to horrible choices of erasing entire worlds and people which weighs into their consciousness. Even with some levity moments, there's a tragic hint all around which weighs them down. Suddenly Nasu dropped this clown upon us in what was supposed to be a tense moment and climax.

It's like he inserted BB into Heaven's Feel. I love BB, but I think if I read HF with BB, I would hate her guts because she'll be literally a bloody sore thumb that destroys the quiet tragedy setting with her nonsense. It's disruptive and not in a good way.

After how this character singlehandedly destroyed Fate/Grand Order part 2 main story for me, I have no face to think Nasu is a good writer. LB6 is a fluke at this point, and he was carried by other writers in part 2. Like the opposite of part 1. I have zero interest to see how things are solved now besides the Bluebook sorted-out plot. I'll skip the story after that's done not to inflict myself on bad writing and roll for Servants I like. It was barely tolerable to go through LB7.

It’s kind of insane how he had this gorgeous setting, a proper tragic character as Olga dying to be explored to bring forth actual complicated feelings from Mash and Guda from the idea she’s their enemy and what they can do about it (instead of turning them into her unambiguous brainless drones), and he phoned it in so badly. Like sweetie, Olga, I’m sorry. You’re safe in Sanda’s hands at least.

I think watching some random actor's entire filmography just because you fancy them is actually so important. It teaches you that even the most successful artists start somewhere. That they experience ups and downs and career ruts and often have to do very weird projects at some point just because their rent is due. And maybe you discover that you don't even like that guy all that much lol

[radioroxx]

this is kerdly 2 me. btw

[usignedupforthis]

stuck on the different pictures louis, zayn, and harry chose for their posts…

louis’ is celebrating their bond, their friendship, the love they held for one another that got them through so many tough times. it’s saying they will never get to stand on a stage together again but let’s celebrate the good times, let’s remember the love.

zayn’s is highlighting that they were just kids at the start, they were boys thrown together into an insane, unimaginable situation and they needed each other. they found solace and comfort in each other and no one else can understand what they went through growing up together but they clung on to each other.

and harry’s… god. harry’s is just liam. liam on stage looking out on thousands of fans doing his favourite thing in the world. and that’s how harry wanted to honour him, making other people happy.
