if this were still 2006 LiveJournal I would be layering these "Love From the Other Side" lyrics over Codywan gifs so fast...

You know I'm dying out here What would you trade the pain for? I'm not sure

We were a painting you could never frame, and You were the sunshine of my lifetime What would you trade the pain for?

NEW FALL OUT BOY ON WEDNESDAY

[polerikapolerika]

the strange thing with this one - well, strange for me, that is - is that only today i realized what it's about and how perfectly it fits. i'm usually not an image guy, i'm a words guy. i think in words and metaphors and layers of meanings. but here i just had an image of breaking - exploding - disco ball (hit with a sledgehammer obv) that transformed into this saturn-like planet with two moons.

and i loved this image. and i wanted to do this tattoo. but i had my doubts cause i couldn't formulate why, and the 'why' is extremely important to me. still, it felt right and my artist loved the idea and she made an amazing sketch that far exceeded my imagination and... she doesn't care about fall out boy at all and she never asked me what i meant or what i wanted to say by it but she somehow managed to get into my head and convey everything perfectly.

so we made it, and i love it. although later i suddenly realized that it needs words, it should also say 'sending my love' ('from the other side of the apocalypse', of course). so we'll add them and it will be complete.

but even then, it felt just like a cool concept.

and yesterday my mom told me that it reminds her of exploding earth - which it should - and i told her about lftos quote that inspired it. and i was thinking about all of it today, looking at the sea, and suddenly realized that this disco ball is a such an obvious metaphor of my life. my life that exploded when the war with ukraine started, and we moved countries, and although everything is mostly fine (for me and my family and friends) it feels like parts of it are shards and pieces barely kept together by gravity. and you never know which one will cut you or send a ray of light your way.

and i'm so grateful to fall out boy for helping me process all of this. for me so much (for) stardust is about this, about living through loss and grief and making it to the other side. being broken but being yourself. being broken but healing. being broken but so full of love.

so. yeah. sorry for rambling (even if no one will likely see it anyway).

fall out boy forever.

and may it not be my last fob tattoo.

aaaand i made another fob tattoo. it's called "sending my love". really proud of this one and extremely happy with how it turned out.

shout out to my amazing artist! she is so talented and seems to get my ideas so well... 💜

Plastic Plague: 38,139 words 8/8 chapters. (archive-locked)

synopsis: a pandemic of plastic-eating microbes hit the space future. the world as they know it is changed forever.

Magnificently illustrated by @every-eye-evermore

the initial reviews are in:

"Oh, wow. This story is just amazing! So many feels, and so much to think about!" ~Neuralclone

"Just reread it at a (slightly) less breakneck speed, taking notes and plotting the timeline <3333 this fic is going to stay with me for a long long time I think." ~Elpunthing

"i need to go lie down for a while." ~tinuviel_tinuviel

"This fic is sad, but like… not the kind of sad that makes me go “oh I need to read something happy now” because it’s not a tragedy? [...] A place that will support them. A place they can live. Community is everything. The world as they knew it ended but the world didn’t end. The end of life as they knew it but not the end of life. It’s harder now, so much harder for a lot of people, but it leaves me feeling… this is what you do, this is how the world keeps going and how you keep going in it because what else is there to do? We still have each other. We still have the world." ~ArtemisTheHuntress

number of people that cried from this fic: at least 5. maybe more.

catch you on the flip side of the apocalypse!

“...I got here fine without you.  I can get to the candy shop without you too.”  Though... it’s strange for an angel of all things to be so kind.  Even with humans around, they’re normally just as nondiscriminatory as their queen.  Just as ruthless as her too, though some angels are just efficient executioners...

Sushila huffs softly as they start wheeling in the direction of said store, only to stop and look back at the angelic florist.  “...You can walk with me if you want.  Just keep your hands off my chair.”  She shrugs and continues to wheel along.

...At the very least, he’ll be reasonable enough company while she waits for Xinyi to show up.  Hopefully ae forgot all about the silly notion of getting a vacation home here after Sushila bought the nail salon.  ...They’d hate to have to dash aer hopes because they were right about the flower shop’s bad vibes.
